A Typhoon gain
The weather forecast news says that a new typhoon is on the way. I don't remember the number of typhoons striking Japan because there are it has been so many times this year OR there have been so many this year (this year hasn't ended yet). It appears it also has strong wind and torrential rain this time. If it is making make (conditional clause, the present simple sounds more natural) landfall in Japan, there may be a lot of flooded streets and damaged roads everywhere as well. I'm worried about our family since I'm on an (assignment is countable so we need an article) unaccompanied assignment and live separate from my family to work on weekdays. Most Japanese has have faced a typhoon so many times this year that I guess they all are fed up with it. Nevertheless, it seems to one of my colleagues from the Philippines (a group of islands always has an article: e.g. the Maldives, the Seychelles, the Philippines) that there are very few of typhoon passing through Japan (this sentence is grammatically correct, but you might want to say "According to one of my colleagues from the Philippines OR One of my colleagues from the Philippines thinks that ...). Sounds like they always suffer from typhoons at this time of the year much more than Japan. I hope everybody around the world is safe.0 votedSeptember 29, 20181Ivy the cat
Last year I adopted a kitten. Her name is Ivy (Like poison Ivy). She lived (to express that she doesn't live there any more, you might say 'She used to live...') in a animal shelter. She is very beautiful and her fur is white, brown and black. Her eyes are like a "dragon" and very green. Her tail is broken, maybe for because of a street fight.
She loves to complain, she bites my clothes, she has a is strong-minded and sometimes it is so (or 'very') difficult for me. But then, she "talks" to me or she looks for my attention or affection, and I forget about bad things.
Actually, I love her so much and I know her she loves me too.0 votedJune 30, 20181appearance and english camp
I am fat and even short. all of my friends are taller and slimmer than i am. i had tried a lot of things to lose my weight ('lose weight' is a fixed expression) because i was so jealous of them, but it didn't work.
I am wondering how they can have a nice body. my friends have not only nice bodies but also beautiful faces. however, i have a lot of pimples on my face, small eyes like a cat and thick lips.
God is not fair.
One day I realized that i couldn't lose my weight. so i gave up being a beautiful girl like my friends. but, I still want to be pretty (or 'but i still wish i were a beauty' - both options are correct :) )
After i took part in the an (one of the many) english camp, i really wanted to do well in english(Or 'but i really wanted to be good at english' - both are grammatically correct but the second seems to be more common). so i asked my teacher how to do well english.(Or 'so i asked teacher about the ways to improve english' - this is a great one!)
He said , i would improve my english if i followed these instructions.
First, i should always talk to friends in english if i wanted to speak english fluently.
Second, i should listen to english audio clips everyday for listening and pronunciation(Or 'to improve my listening abilities skills and pronunciation').
Third, i should also read a lot in english to increase my the vocabulary.
Finally, i should always write a diary in english.( or 'keep a diary in english' - both are correct) this will give me chances to practice writing in english.
Even though these instructions are very simple, i am not sure whether i can follow them.0 votedJune 25, 20180An email reply
Hi Bob,
Thanks for your email asking for my first job experience. It was 2005 and I had finished with high school. I was awarded with a scholarship in at a very good university in the capital of my state and in order to help with the general expenses my father got me a position as an intern in the public sector in Porto Alegre city.
I certainly learned a lot during this period. As an inexperienced student, I had the opportunity to be more responsible as well as learn (continues the idea introduced by 'to be more ...') how to deal with different personalities as I had there were (you didn't really possess them) many civil servants who were my work colleagues but also my seniors.
As for some issues that I had during this period, I can mention the fact that, as a young trainee, many civil servants used to feel free to ask me to perform any job which were, most of the cases, tasks supposed to be done by themselves (there's nothing indicating that it's reflexive). Obviously, it would annoy me a lot. However, it was a period of great learning for sure.
I hope to ta have had helped you Bob and I'm looking forward to knowing about your assignment reception?? (I'm not sure what you mean here - careful with creating compound nouns that don't appear in the dictionary, it might mean no one uses them).
Best wishes,
Leandro0 votedJune 20, 20180
