    Review of The Creative Habit by Twyla Tharp

    It's definitely a book that changed me and my thoughts about creativity.

    I've always wanted to be creative. I guess we all sometimes (or maybe even always) want to become that kind of creative person who devotes their life to art. Well, music is a good hobby, but I'm not talented enough to become a great musician. That's what I thought.

    But then I 've read "The Creative Habit". Now I know that I just have to work much harder than I did before [or "much harder than before"] and not to be afraid to act. :)

    Twyla Tharp is a famous choreographer, but her book is not only for dancers. Firstly, there are so many thoughts and ideas about creativity in total general. And secondly Second, her exercises are mostly universal; you just need to modify them a little bit according to your field of activity ("field of interest" or just "activity").

    So, (or "Therefore,") I recommend this book to everyone! It can be helpful even if you're a businessman and you need to find make creative decisions at work.

    Here's is the last step. Please do edit this one too.

    5) Keep going

    There is always a second chance for you waiting there in the corner. Grad Grab [or "Take"] the chance and try again. Never let hard times to turn you into a heartless monster. Remember! , most of the best lessons in life are often learned during hard times. Learn from your mistakes and move forward. Never look back at your past and ("in regret" or "with regret") regret. Smile and help others to smile. Life is short, so live it at its to the fullest [your grammar was not wrong, but, "Live life to the fullest" is a common expression). Be patient and keep going.

    February 6, heavy books

    I went to a library to return two heavy books which I borrowed. These books are were textbooks about biology and really heavy to bring carry. Recently These days, [or, "Recently, we have become able to read..."] we can read some text books by using (or simply "on") electrical electronic devices such as smartphones, PCs and others. Thanks to these devices, we can read many books, including such a heavy textbooks, everywhere. So, [or "Therefore,"] I think I want to bring carry many books by using convenient devices.
    However, an only the one thing I need to think seriously about is that by using these devices, I make my eyes very tired very much....

    Hi. Can you give me any advice?

    Hi. Can you give me any advice on how I can improve this text?


    Unfortunately, I don't have an important person in my life. Otherwise (Nevertheless), I think that everyone who we meet during our life has an influence on us. The influence could can be big or small but it is exists.
    For almost everyone, parents and family have the biggest importance in life. The Parents are always with us, and we spent plenty of time together. The ("Our family" or just "Family) family teaches us to speak and walk, helps us with advice, and  it makes gives us a our personality.
    However, the family loses clout when as we grow. At the moment when we get to a enter society, lots of different factors begin to affect us, such as TV, media, friends, books etc. In the During our life, we always have a somebody who influences on us, and it's our decision get to accept/receive this influence or not.
    For that reason, I consider think/believe/argue that we shouldn't look for the most important person in our life. Everything is important and affects on our life continuously.

    English grammar

    Today I decided to learn some English grammar, namely how to use the words "so" and "such".
    So, maybe it will be such (this use of "such" is not wrong, but it sounds unnatural) a weird tale, but I just want to practise these words.
    I got up at 7 am and it was so early for me, because usually I get up at 9 am. First of all I brushed my teeth, then I had such a delicious breakfast. After that I realized the day is going to be so nice in spite of such the strong rain, because it's Friday and at last I can go out somewhere with my friends in order to have so much fun. I hadn't see them for so long. (This would also be a perfect time to use "such" i.e., "I hadn't seen them in such a long time." - very common expression in English)
    Actually, I was surprised the meeting was so cool ("fun" or "interesting" or "enjoyable" are probably better words to describe a meeting with friends, but "cool" still works), because it was like for the first time. This last part is not exactly clear: "because it was like for the first time"  Do you mean, "because it was like the first time we met" ?)

    On the 5th of Oct. I watched legally blond.

    Today I went to see "Legally blonde" with one of my classmates after school. Before the musical started, we had a hamburger and shake. It tasted good. I watched "legally blonde 2" on Netlfix and previewed the story yesterday. It helped me to understand the musical, but I couldn't understand the whole story. I couldn't catch and understand (it sounds better if you choose one of these: "catch what they..." or "understand what they...) what they were speaking in English. This is not only with/in musicals but also my daily life. It is my a serious problem for me. I want to get used to hearing English as soon as possible. I've been worried about it these days.
    By the way, the musical was really nice. The story made me happy and cheerful. The music, dance and everything was great. It cost only 15 pounds and was cheaper than I expected. I want to see an another musical while I stay here. ("...during my stay/time here" sounds more natural, but "while I stay here" is still correct)

    On the 4th of Oct.

    Today I went to the pub after dinner. It was a calm and nice place. I drank a pint of beer. I love the UK's pubs(unless it is one specific pub) because we can try some flavors of beer and cider before we order them. I think we should do this in Japan as well. I spent a lovely night with a Japanese friends (either "a Japenese friend" or "some Japanese friends") of mine. We had been talking for about 2 hours. We are both (not incorrect, but this sounds much more natural) interested in teaching Japanese to foreign students. We think it must be difficult to teach our native language. We speak and use our language naturally without any difficulty in thinking (or "...with no difficulty thinking"). Anyway, I am really happy to get to know her. I can't wait to meet her husband soon!

    By the way, these days I am into hot chocolate. It's very common around here. It tastes nice, but I'm afraid of gaining weight.

    La mia prima settimana alla Università Gregoriana Ciao! Mi chiamo Chris e sono uno studente di teologia dagli Stati Uniti. Oggi ho concluso la mia prima settimana alla Università Gregoriana a Roma. Tutti i miei corsi sono offerti in italiano. Confesso che prima di cominciare, questo fatto mi rende un po' nervoso! Non pensavo mai che avrei l'opportunità di studiare in un'altra lingua (ma ovviamente la vita può essere pazza!). Questo compito è sicuramente emozionante e anche divertente per me, ma è ancora impegnativo! Alcuni dei miei professori non sono italiani (per esempio, due sono francesi). Quindi, posso comprendere quasi tutto che loro dicano. Penso che loro siano più comprensibili perchè parlino lentamente e non usino molti espressioni particolarmente italiani. Però, ci sono anche due professori italiani che parlano velocemente a volte e hanno un accento forte (almeno mi sembra forte, probabilmente non in realtà). Allora, né io né la maggior parte dei miei amici americani possiamo comprenderli. È un po' frustrante, ma suppongo che sia necessaria di avere pazienza – "pian piano", come gli italiani sempre mi dicano! In fatti, sono molto contento con il mio livello di comprensione della lingua. Italki.com sarà uno strumento molto utile per me così continuo avanti, perché vorrei continuare ad imparare la lingua il più possibile, ma normalmente non devo parlare molto. Nelle mie classi ci sono normalmente almeno uno cento persone, e quindi non è possibile per ogni studente di chiedere le sue domande al professore durante la lezione. Allora, adesso cominciamo le sezioni di Skype!
