To politely refuse a tour request

I am sorry but this chapel is not open to the public this morning because of a marriage ceremony.
As an alternative plan, you would be welcome to join a tomorrow's Sunday service which is to start at eight forty five.
So long you have been baptised, you are welcome to receive the eucharist irrespective your denomination.

A draft of an Easter message

Happy Easter to you and your lovely family!
How are you?

Yesterday I made many Easter eggs.
At half past four in this morning, some friends and I began climbing a mountain, and at dawn we held an open‐air morning service on the mountain. While there, after the service, we ate breakfast as we saw a deer walking slowly across a slope.

Easter day and cherry blossom season came earlier this year.
Please drop in and see me when you come over here.


I intend to send this message to a British Christian friend who lives in Tokyo, Japan on Easter day which is next Sunday.

SHE(Please help me correct my errors)

She is an important person in my life. She gave birth to me at 5/4. She is always like my friend. She is someone I always love. She is my mom . She gave me life and made me healthy. She looks like a very ordinary person but she gave me extraordinary life. I love my mother, because she is very thoughtful. I love my mom. An ordinary and great mother.

My mother ( Please help me change composition）

I have been good with my mother since I was a child. She taught me a lot of things not only to teach me lessons but also to teach me morals. I still remember once when I was still very young and ignorant when I was cheating in an exam and I was caught by the teacher and then called my mother. I was very angry at the time because she told me to be honest with myself. I am very grateful to her for teaching me so much. If she didn’t teach me so much, I’m not going to understand something today.

[When I was in the Phillipines ]

I was in the Phillipines about 2 years ago for studying English. I stayed there for 2 months.

Before I went there,  I thought I would die  because I heard it was dangerous but I chose there because of the price, also I have never been there so I wanted to try to go there.

we don't usually use "there" as the subject of a verb, e.g. "there was dangerous" sounds strange. "there" can usually be used as the object of a verb e.g. "I chose there".

When I arrived in the Philippines and went to the ESL school, it was completely new views that I've never seen before.

I was kind of shocked about what their situation. I felt also humid than I expected. 

My first room mates were Korean and I was happy because I love Korea.

However I faced a difference in culture between Korea and Japan. For example, our school's rule was if we used an air conditioner above their temperature, we have to pay extra for it, so I really cared about how I should save the electricity as much as I could but my roommates, Korean, they really didn't care about it even though they might have to pay more, so I told them what I wanted to do but finally they couldn't understand me.

I changed my room mate with a Japanese room mate, she was also tried to save the electricity for us.

I thought it was only me that cared about that but I heard most of the Koreans in our school, they didn't care about paying for extra electricity fee.

"about paying" - a verb is always in the "-ing" form after a preposition

I thought it was really interesting because most of Japanese tried to save it.

I think there is no correction, pay for comfortable or not. I think Japanese think "extra fee" is really waste of money but Koreans think that feeling good is a priority so they don't think that is "waste".

I felt it was very good opportunity that I could know about Korean culture more.

Besides, I hung out with Korean friends many times and tried to go to many places in the Philippines, then I realized that it was actually not so dangerous as I expected, rather I really like there and now, I really want to go back there again.

Many people are kind and funny!

Take Bus

I am a university student. I like traveling in the city. One day, I planned to go on an excursion, so I bought a mobile ticket from the Internet. I carried my bag and ID to go to fuzhou on Saturday. A lot of high school classmates are there, and I miss them very much. This trip's passenger toke my more than I expected. When I arrived at Fuzhou station. I took a bus to look for my friends, I sat in the front of the bus and got a good view of the city. After some time, I looked around, I realized with a shock that the bus was very crowded with passengers. In that case, I paid more attention to my bag. Because we don't know if strangers are good or bad, so we need to protect our money and ID.

Sorry I don't understand the words in blue.

Notes:

so -  we wouldn't use "so" and "because" in the same  sentence, you could use either one, but not both.

Tourist Spots

A friend who is married to a German and lives in Germany is planning to come to Kyoto next spring.
She showed me her list of the spots in Kyoto to visit.

The odd thing is that I have never visited the half of those spots in spite of my living in Kyoto.

It may be a good opportunity to visit them with friends who come from the countries far from here.

I watched X factor clips on Youtube and had several questions.

Hello.
I have not helped someone here with my Japanese for long time, but I would appreciate it if you would help me. I watched X factor clips on Youtube, The singer was really incredible but put it aside, I have questions.
https://youtu.be/7xWTpmxWuYE?t=24m36s

1 Words written in (*) were really hard to figure out. Could someone help me out? Most of them were correct, I marked the ones I changed in yellow.
2 What is hormonal? Is it a kind of disorder of hormones, or another meaning exists behind that? *in this case,"hormonal" just means affected by the normal female hormones, that can cause strange feelings and strange behaviour at times. LOL. I guess she means the hormones were having a bad effect, but now she's feeling better.
3 “I’m who better to understand you than a woman, a girl.” How I find this funny.

"Who better than X to..." is a set phrase, it means "X is the best at this"

What I heard is :
Judge: (*People come out here and they say), you never know what to expect and then you turn around, and you start to see how engaging and passionate, and you’re more comfortable than I am up there almost. And that is the moment where you realize that this person can be a huge star.  I mean I really believe that. And It’s gonna get bloody, and we’re gonna fight, but I’m gonna fight harder than you.
Judge(woman) : I can't tell what she's saying either, no no, no harder than me.
Judge: No one fights harder than me. Six seasons, six seasons.
Judge(woman) : He hasn’t had a  day-off. He is tired.

Judge(woman) : In season four, I might have been hormonal, and sleepless, but now I’m rested, and I am focused as laser. And I am going to give you all this focus.)

Judge : Listen! With all the focus and faith nothing will make that incredible connections to someone who will understand who you are as an artist, and be able to unlock the incredible potential that is there.)
Judge(woman) : And who better to understand you than a woman, a girl.
Judge : You know what, This is about your voice, you were phenomenal.
Judge(woman) : She knows that.
Judge : Listen! It’s actually the truth.  I plan on winning this entire thing with you.
Judge : Don't you get the feeling that if you go with him, you won’t ever get a word in edgewise. You’ll never get to say anything, here’s what my three friends down here haven’t figured out, this isn’t about me, this isn’t about them. It’s about you, and what you wanna do. I just wanna help you figure out whatever that is, and make you the winner of this show.
Judge : Hey Cristina, what do you love,  I mean who* who inspires you the most.

*he mis-speaks here and says "who" twice

    
Singer : My mom, She had breast cancer three times, and I thought she wouldn’t get to see me do anything like this. So I love my mom and I’m happy I got to do this for her.
Judge(woman) : It’s time to choose. Who do you pick as your coach?
