Yes, I received such messages from WhatsApp and Skype before. But these are really lousy tricks, I do not believe these words at all. And it is really red flag when internet friends asking for money from us, let's all be cautious!

Hi Leo, I am an English speaker but not native, if you do not mind, let's exchange, would like to learn some basic Italian from you, too!

Hello Alessandra, congratulations for the beautiful journey ahead! Shanghai is a very interesting city, I think it would be a great experience for the twins. If they do not speak English, they could go to international schools where there are pre-semester language courses, I am not going to list a specific school but there should be some options, try to search on the internet and find the best solutions, good luck with the adventure!

Today's thoughts

These days my night and day is  -  are messed up. I usually get asleep - sleep (use a verb when you want to say it is an action; get asleep is more like a status) during the day and start to move during the night.
The place where I stay is a less populated city and during the night there comes silence - it becomes silent and nobody walks around the town.
I just write some paper - write on the paper and watch Youtube clip or Netflix in my room alone.

Actually, I am an exchange student who came to US alone and in my school there is no Korean who - to/with whom I can share my feelings in my mind. I think when people have some difficulties to communicate with others, then it he/she is likely to get depression depressed. People need to say the things in my their mind but if they can't, their minds are easily easy to get blue. I am going through that kinda way and feel so hard to do things properly.

Luckily enough, I'm gonna go back to South Korea which is my hometown after this Christmas. Also, after 14th on December, I am gonna leave the campus to travel to the West Coast. Only thoughts about upcoming traveling and returning to my home makes make me feel better now.

On the other hands, I'm worried about my future when I come back to home. I don't know what I will do in the future.
I got CPA in Korea, and at first I thought that I would do some kinda accountant job, but these days, that it feels like it also got gets confused. The thought that Living through unpredicted life is so hard when it comes to mind my mind.

I met a Chinese internet friend in front of Mitukoshi department store in Nagoya

I met a Chinese internet friend in front of Mitukoshi department store in Nagoya city last Saturday.
I came to know her in Chinese Facebook. She had a business meeting near there , I had an appointment to see a doctor in the afternoon.
Our appointment time was at 10:30. Unfortunately she missed the train and late for 45 minutes / was 45 minutes late (for our appointment).
She is a very energetic 62 years old / 62-year-old. She looks real cool from the back. She has slim, a brown hair and is very beautiful . She looks like 20 years old / a 20 years old lady / a 20-year-old. but if she look back. she looks 50 plus . She speaks Japanese very fluently and her husband is Japanese.
Her job is a Chinese teacher in community center and a sales staff in Amway.
I told her I am / was not interested in Amway products in advance. We chatted about the culture difference between China and Japan. Japanese people prefer to give a vague answer. It is not easy to read a someone’s true feelings. Chinese people talks more straightforward and clearly. Because the most important is not other people but myself.
I think Japanese should talk more clearly.
It was a nice meeting with her.
After that I went to the clinic to cure my obesity. A doctor recommended me to take acupuncture and a drip to melt a fat. I declined them because it is not accepted   heath / / it would not be accepted by health insurance. It is not affordable for me. Doctor is a good man of business / The doctor is a good businessman? (Is this what you mean) .

请批改我关于运动写的作文 == 我写的关于运动的作文

我最喜欢的运动

我最喜欢的运动是羽毛球。在俄罗斯羽毛球不太流行，大部分人觉得这是一个在海滩玩儿的游戏。实际上这是一种奥林匹克运动。羽毛球主要是在亚洲国家里普遍的 == 羽毛球主要在亚洲国家很流行，中国运动员就是强大的之一==中国运动在羽毛球竞赛上的表现很强大，世界比赛在男单上，几乎都是被中国人赢的。欧洲国家中，羽毛球是在丹麦和英国常见的，它们的男双很棒。跟网球一样，在羽毛球比赛上，有男单打、女单打、男双打、女双打和混双打。

当我知道了羽毛求=球不仅是一种户外休闲娱乐运动，也是一种竞技运动，我就很想试一试。

我二十三岁的开始打羽毛球。因为我不只是想玩儿，首先想学会正确地打羽毛球，我加入了一个羽毛球班。教练员比我大几岁，比较矮，看起来不太帅（的人，去掉），其实（他是）一个挺好的、有幽默感的人，并且那时候，他刚开始当教练员，所以对自己=自己的工作很热情，很快把自己的兴趣传给了我们。训练的环境都非常好，大家都交=成为朋友了。每个星期我去两三趟参加训练=我去参加两三趟训练，训练以后，我们常常一起去了（了字去掉）体育馆附近的饭馆，在那里我们的教练员给我们看羽毛球比赛并解释这种运动的特点。

我们的教练员也卖了=买了运动服，很方便，不需要花时间去商店，来体育馆就可以选择合适的衣服和鞋子。我特别喜欢穿运动裙裤 － 又舒服又好看。
