    The most expected journey

    Hello! It's a good evening to write a few words about my next vacation. Let's go!

    I am looking forward to visiting Spain in June, 2020. It is going to be the most unforgettable journey in my life, because I have never been to Europe. You can't deny the first time is always the best one, can you? I wish I had traveled a lot when I was younger. Well, better late, than never...

    There were plenty of reasons why I chose Spain. You should know I do* like travelling with my friends. We are just like the three musketeers: one for all and all for one. That's why we had to be careful in making a decision about a perfect vacation spot. It was quite complicated to respect all preferences. In spite of that we solved the problem with flying colours.

    Salou is a tourist town on the coast of the Mediterranean sea. There are three or four wide sandy beaches, lots of different kinds of activities and... 'Port Aventura Park'. I have no doubt it is going to be the most marvellous vacation for every single person in the crew. Can I use the word 'crew' to speak about my friends?

    As far as I am concerned there are many people who like spending their vacation on a beach or in a hotel, but it is not my cup of tea. I am not going to choose neither one way nor the other. I prefer getting a new experience in different areas. I suppose life is <s>quite</s> too** short to waste time lying on the beach more than two hours a day, right?

    I wanna*** visit a lot of magnificent places and spend two days in Barcelona getting to know the spirit of Spain. I am sure the city is really worth visiting because of La Sagrada Familia and other architectural wonders...

    Thank you for reading!

    Great job, Andrew!
    * this is grammatically correct. However, we use this kind of emphasis when a negative sentence is before it, such as:
    Her: "I know you really don't like me that much."
    Him: "No, honestly, I do like you."
    Or, when there is a "but" after the first part of the sentence:
    "I do like you, but I like my dog even more!" :D

    ** the structure needed here is "too [adjective] to [verb]". For example:
    too good to be true
    too young to die
    too big to fail (this was often said in the media when the US government saved the biggest banks)

    *** this is correct. But, if you ever decide to take a language test, it will be marked a incorrect.

    P.S. Spain is amazing! Enjoy :)

    Ohitorisama or rather “<s>let</s> leave me alone!"

    In Japan there is a movement that <s>get</s> is gaining strength more and more: it <s>treats</s><s style="color: rgb(0, 138, 0);"> </s>is about doing things alone. Things <s>from </s>like <s>taking </s>going for a drink, eating and even going to the karaoke, people prefer <s>make </s>to do them <s>for </s>on their own - without a fellow/friend <s>who can you could</s> to share <s>your </s>their experience with.

    This phenomenon could be explained. <s>because d </s>Decades ago people in Japan felt shame <s>from being</s> when seen alone, you know: to be friendless wasn’t very popular. But things have changed and now people <s>valorise </s>value themselves much more.

    I think is important to know oneself but I find that it’s not necessary to do alone the same things that <s>before</s><s style="color: rgb(0, 138, 0);"> </s>you used to <s>did </s>do with friends (or that you could eventually have done with friends) just to demonstrate that you’re capable to be alone <s>under</s> in any situation. So I think <s>go to </s>going a bar just to get a drink alone is a bit extreme <s>behaviour</s>.

    If we humans continue like this <s>it’ll arrive </s>the day will arrive <s>that </s>when nobody will talk to <s>other </s>anyone (or: when people won't talk to each other). It’s like if ants wouldn’t want to touch with their antennas.

    Thank you reading, what about a correction?

    It's an interesting topic!
    A tip: Try to draft your short essays before you write them down. The meaning will be much clearer!

    我觉得两个都很难,每个有自己的难点。对于西方人,学亚洲语言比较难,对于亚洲人来说,学英文或西语也比较难。这是因为两种语言的逻辑完全不同,而且大部分词语也没有什么关系。不过只要努力,就能成功,加油!:)
