Things that I'm into these days
I have been into to watching DVD of "Sex and the City" for the first time in in a while. In the TV drama, there are four main women whose ages are around 30 years. And they talk everything very close to indecency to each other openly they talk about things close to indecency very closely to each other.
I started to watch the DVD to study English.Now It becomes the best pleasure for me. When I was a university student, I loved it.But there were a lot of things I couldn't understand. I have become turned the same age as main characters, and I can sympathize with them. At around 30 years women have a lot of problems about their careers, boyfriends, homes, futures and so on.
But I envy them because they have the best friends they can talk everything to each other. I stay in Tokyo away from my friends in hometown. Next time I meet my friends, I want to talk a lot.This was a great piece of writing! Your English is really good you use a lot of grammar. If you have some time, can you please help me improve my Japanese notebook? Thank you very much.

- In your case, communication would not be countable. You can also say emails instead of communication. With reference to the communication you had with my colleague John, please drop by on Friday at 10.30 AM for a discussion. If you are free, can you please correct my Japanese notebook? I would really appreciate it.0 votedAugust 13, 20182
Hello
Hello, everyone!
I've decided to take some notes regularly and write anything that's about my life. It can be something like a blog.
And so I want to introduce myself. My name is Dariy. I grew up in a village near a small town of Moscow, Russia. Now I am 23 years old and study at Moscow State University. I'm going to receive Bachelor degree of Applied Mathematics in a month.
I've been learning English since going to university, four years ago. During the first two years I had a really great (you can use adjectives such as amazing, inspiring, wonderful) English teacher who inspired me to learn English. Now I'm learning English mostly through podcasts, and I sometimes like to watch videos on YouTube.
I'm going to go to an English language school located in the centre of London for a month to improve my level of English, especially my speaking skills. I will also immerse myself into English and British culture. (I think) it's going to be a great experience in my life.
What about my hobbies? I like listening to classical music and playing piano. I also like to walk a lot, and work out regularly. This involves push ups, pull ups, and things like that. This is because I think it's really important to care for yourself.That's all for today.
Goodbye.0 votedMay 26, 20180I learned there are over 700 versions of the Cinderella story. The most well-known version of the story was produced by Walt Disney Studios in 1950.
The Walt Disney's Cinderella is quite passive. She is beautiful, obedient, sweet, and hard-working. She accepts her difficulties without complaining, which is a good thing although she does not try to find ways to overcome these difficulties by herself.
I thought an Italian version which I read was better because it had more lessons which could be applied in our lives.
In this version, Cinderella is mistreated by her father's second wife. As a result of her governess' urging, Cinderella kills the second wife and convinces her father to marry the governess instead. Her father marries her governess as was told. At first the governess treats her well. Eventually the governess elevates her own daughters and treats Cinderella even worse than the previous wife and Cinderella is sent into the kitchen to work as a servant. Cinderella obtains a magical tree from the fairies and takes good care of it. When the tree is grown, a fairy appears to grant Cinderella’s wishes. Cinderella wishes to leave the house freely without her sisters knowing.
Cinderella obtains rich clothing and horses from the tree and attends the feast unrecognized. The king sees her, falls in love with her, and orders his servants to capture her. However, she escapes from his men three times. She leaves a shoe and is eventually discovered by it. She marries the king.
In this version Cinderella learns from her mistakes and improves her situation through her own actions. She first tries to improve her situation by listening to her governess, which is a mistake, as the governess turns out to be her enemy. Unfortunately the situation worsens rather than improves. However she learns from this mistake and thinks hard so that she can improve the circumstances, not losing hope. After her mistake she acts appropriately, by carefully tending to the tree. Through this action the fairies help her.
To succeed, we have to endure and earn trust from people around us and show them that we're motivated. It takes time and a lot of effort to be trusted.
You gain things gradually, not all at once like Walt Disney's Cinderella story. This Italian version teaches us to be patient but also seek chances. It tells us that it takes time and effort to overcome the obstacles of life.0 votedMay 26, 20182Casual conversation
Last week I went to a Taiwanese tourism festival. I had a little conversation with a staff member at a tea shop.This conversation is below.
A is me, and B is the staff member.
A (me): Wow, there are so many teas! Can I try some?
If you want to say 'たくさんのお茶', use there is so much tea.
If you want to say '多くの種類のお茶', use there are so many types of tea.
B: Sure!
A: It smells good. It's tasty. After a sip, there is a sweet aftertaste! I like it.
B: Thank you! Do you like Taiwanese tea?
A: Yes, I love it! I went to Taiwan in January and I looked around some Taiwanese tea shops! I was impressed with the number of shops and that you can easily enjoy having a cup of tea somewhere else.
In Tokyo, you can't find that.
B: I see. Which city did you visit?
A: Taipei.
B: Well, if you visit Taipei again, please visit our shops. My shop is near the Taipei station! Here is a brochure!
A: That's nice! Traditional-style shops!
I'll definitely go!
B: I will be waiting for you in Taipei.
A: Thank you. Nice talking to you.
B: Me too.
A: Bye.
B: Bye.
Really interesting piece of writing! If you have time, please correct my Japanese notebook. Thank you!

I was invited to dinner by my senior colleagues. We went to a Chinese restaurant. At first, we drank Chintao beer, which I had not had in a long time. We ordered spring rolls, fried noodles, spareribs and so on, and then ate as we talked to each other.
We were from several different prefectures of Japan, and I found it interesting that the different prefectures had different cultures. For example, some of them had private high schools that were better than their prefectural high schools, while others did not.Really great piece of writing! I hope my corrections helped you. If you have time, please correct my Japanese notebook. Thank you!
