    Hi! Yes, with some small adjustments. So we could use both, but they would be said like this: 1- "He decided that he ought to go for help while he was still strong enough." 2- "He decided to go for help while he still had enough strength." *I gave you two options: "go for help" and "ought to go for help". Both are good!

    We should exercise at home. There are a lot of videos on youtube which means we dont have to go to the gym if we don't want to. In my opinion, going to the gym is waste of time and money. Exercising at home is more comfortable. You dont have to wear specific workout clothes or drive anywhere. Whenever you want, you can get in a workout, even at night.

    Either is great! If you want to be extra specific, you can choose one based on how much time has passed since you learned/"understood". If someone just explained something, or you literally just in this moment understood something, "now I understand" is slightly more common. But if you understood last week/month and you were telling someone you know better in this moment, "I understand now" is more appropriate. But really, either is fine in most situations.

    The difference is the tense "was" and "am". If I am about to do something, I plan on doing it very soon. If I was about to, it means I intended to until something happened that changed this. For example: I am about to go to the store. I just need to make the grocery list. I was about to go to the store. But I forgot an appointment I had, so I'll go tomorrow. Using "was" means you are talking about your past self, and now you plan to do something else. For your example, I am about to watch a movie. Come join me! I was about to watch a movie, but then the electricity went out. Hope this helps!

    You might say "bestow" some knowledge, or "share". "She is very intelligent so I hope she can bestow some knowledge on me." Bestow means to present someone with something. This is the word I would use.

    My Diary. Note #2.

    Today was an interesting day.
    I had a great conversation with an interesting person and learned some useful lessons in reading and listening. 
    I have studied today at least for six hours.
    This fact makes me very happy, though i had some troubles with weather and got totally soaked outside.
    Well, this is the last sentence today  I am writing today.
    Good day to all of you!


    ****This sentence can be interpreted a few ways. Here are some options:

    ...and learned some useful information about reading and listening.

    ...and had a useful lesson involving reading and listening.

    ...and learned some useful tips for reading and listening.

    ...and had useful lessons in reading and listening.

    Please correct my essay:) I'm taking an exam on Sunday. So I need your help!!!

    I think that happiness is more important than success in business. I have two reasons to support my view.

    First of all , less stress is more important than having assets. Because, If we become mentally fatigued and quit our jobs, we will suffer severe financial problems. Therefore, I think that working consistently with less pressure is essential to financial stability.

    Secondly, having good personal relationships are precious. I have met a lot of elderly people in my workplace. They have not been able to do a lot of things such as memorizing, walking, writing and even eating. If they did not have good personal relationships, they could not enjoy their remaining time. We become old without exception. Therefore, we should not only work too hard but also have fun with family and friends. When we will retire from jobs, these relationships will make our lives wonderful.

    For these reasons, I do not think that I need success in business and too much money in my life. Suggestions for last sentence: Therefore, I don't think success and money are the most important things in business. 

    For these reasons, I don't think having success and money is the most important thing in business.

    Obviously, I'd write sad songs or complaints. It would be so amazing to be rich thanks to my opinions about the world and men. Coming back to my original question, I think one method for not thinking about someone could be writing in English. In this way I can keep being stupid because I know that I should give time or space to someone who doesn't know that I exist, but, at the same time, I can practice my English ( but I reject the idea of publishing a book or songs about my "teenage breakdown"). I don't like feeling so weak, and I am so practical with my friends about "teenager questions" ("Sara, why should I stop texting him?" "Because you know that he doesn't care about you"). It is so easy when it's about other people. I am the queen of the advice, but when it's about me I turn into the weakest girl in the world at 15 years old over the first date. I hate this situation and I think when I start writing, like I am now, it is so helpful. I don't know why. Writing lets my brain breathe. When I am so nervous that my head hurts, I start writing and it's like the doors of my brain open and I finally can "breathe". I was thinking that maybe another good method could be  to stop thinking so much. We can't have power over everything and sometimes we need to let go of other people, even if sometimes you need time and even if you have known this person for a long time (so it becomes a routine - writing about this person). If someone leaves, another person will come. I am just scared of the unknown. Who isn't?

    Writing when you are sad: the best method!

    How is it so annoying is it when people have power over you? Do you have any methods for not thinking about this person? Why is it so difficult to forget someone? I read on Google (and Google never lies), an article where a psychologist said that we choose to give power to people. We can't blame anyone, it's just our fault. You can't say to someone "You are ruining my day!" or "you make me sad" etc, but instead "I decide to be mad", "I decided you can ruin my day". It is easy, isn't it? Well, not really.
    Sometimes it is just difficult accepting that we are not enough for someone. We can't be the number one person for everyone we know. Parents have a favorite child too (I know I am not their favorite, because we have different personalities. and My brother is more friendly while I am the grumpy one). But why do we sometimes we want so badly to be the number one person for someone who doesn't want you as you are? Why are we so dependent on this kind of "relationship"? Why do we choose one person and not another? If I was a good singer, I could write a lot of songs and be famous and rich.
