- Both can be used, but either will be more relevant depending on the situation ... "With your prime rib and chicken made , you had better hope nobody is a vegetarian." - you can use this when the dish is already finished i.e. already "made", the "making" is finished. "With your prime rib and chicken making , you had better hope nobody is a vegetarian." - this is better used during the cooking (making) process, or, can also be a general statement if the person is often making that particular dish e.g. similar concept to "with your crazy driving, you'd better hope the police don't catch you".0 votedJanuary 22, 20190
Overtime working
This picture was sent to me by my friend. She usually works until 10pm. She said to me that her job is so tiring, but she is afraid of changing to change jobs. Maybe she is tied down to the doing social work?. When we enter society, a better work job is most important. What does means better better mean？It means that it's suitable for you and that you like this it.
After chatted chatting with my friend, it I recalled me of something. When I took part in an interview, every interviewer would ask "what do you think about overtime work?". It seems like enterprises want employees to do this.
Nowadays, more and more people can not get off work on time (no comma needed here) due to their work tasks the task of work. The normal working time is hours are too short to do these things complete their tasks, so they have to work overtime.
I think there is no one who likes overtime working working overtime, but pressure is everywhere, and as we are adults, we need suffer endure it these. Just like when we are were children, our parents told us students that we need to study hard for a good future.0 votedJuly 10, 20180Is your job good for you？
When I was a child, my mom often told me that being a teacher is a wonderful job. They Their work is not hard, and they also have vacations with paid salary. Mom asked me to become a teacher after I graduate, but I do not want to. The world is full of hope, I have a lot of things to learn from social society. If I'm being a teacher, school and home, these two places is will be my life. Young people like challenge, and I think I have unlimited possibilities, so being I think graduating as a teacher is not good when I come to social enter society to look for my first job.0 votedJuly 9, 20182The plastic bag runner
This Last Friday, when I was waiting for bus at a bus station, I saw a black dog. Let us call him "Black". I guessed Black was a homeless dog for his fur was dirty and messy. Black swayed wagged his tail to at a woman, but the woman stepped backwards and kept playing with her phone. I had an eye contact with Black. Sometimes, I like animals more than humans, but I am not good at expressing my adoration through my eyes. So maybe in Black’s point of view, I was just a strange guy who stared at him with a poker face. Then a gust of wind blew, and a plastic bag rode on the wind and flew to the middle of the road. Black was so excited and chased the bag without hesitation. “Don’t! Please...” I said it in my mind, because Black would be crashed knocked down by the stream of traffic. He ran to the other side of the road and jumped to bite the plastic bag. I was watching at him and was afraid to see him being crashed into by a car. Fortunately, Black turned over around and ran back safely. He was so happy to get that plastic bag. Although the bag couldn’t be eaten or lived in, it brought happiness to Black.This is a nice story ;-)

I restarted italki today. Two years ago, I used to use this website to improve my English skill, but it didn't last so long. At that time, I was an a university student and I was quite busy with my studies and part-time jobs. That was the reason of for my failure. Now I have already graduated the university and I'm working in an IT company in Tokyo. My dream is to work abroad someday, so that I decided to restart italki now to learn English again.0 votedJuly 8, 20181Introduce myself
Hello everyone, I am May and I am from Qingyuan. I am very happy to have this opportunity to take this test. I graduated from Guangdong University of Technology with a degree in Chemical Engineering and Technology eight years ago. The science and engineering major helped me develop develops me a a calm thinking and rational personality. In the teaching of Chinese as a foreign language, I think that it’s also necessary need to stay calm to be able to deal with different challenges. After graduating, I had my own clothes business. I have learned how to solve problems myself. After that I choose chose to be a full-time mother. I have two kids, and when I teach my children (no comma here) I learn a lot from them. For example, I need in order to keep my kids or my and students enthusiastic and interested in learning, patience and the methods used both are are both important.At last ,why I chose such a career, Finally, why did I choose such a career ? When I was a child, I grew up in a three dialects environment i.e, Cantonese, Mandarin and Hakka, and I was also interested in different languages. Last year, I met an American teacher when I was in an English class. He asked me to teach him Chinese. Then I tried to do that, but I found that it wasn't it’s not easy and that I lacked lack of teaching knowledge. So I went to school to learn how to teach Chinese because I wanted to As well as I want to become a professional Chinese teacher, and that is the reason why I am here today. The other thing I want to say is that some people may have found the career they loved when they are were 20 years old. Some people may change their minds when they are 30 years old. I think that everyone's life has its their own rhythm and point in time where they discover the career that is right for them has their own time point. I am grateful to have found the work I love, find out the direction of my loved work now and I will work hard for towards it. Thank you for your listening. (unless your text here is written for a speech it should be "Thank you for reading.")

Mr Ishiguro was shy but well-mannered young man. This interesting story is about his experience in his college days during one summer. He lived in Setagaya and worked part time in Shibuya in the summer. He had to wake up early in the morning and took a bus which is bound for Shibuya everyday. Shibuya bound bus every day.
He hated that bus because it was uncomfortable due to the heat. A couple of days after he started to take it, he noticed that the same people took that bus every day. One of them was a young lady who looked around 25 years old. She looked too mature and sophisticated for a 19 year-old young man. He looked at the woman with a respect and longing. One or two weeks later After a couple weeks, he started to look forward to take that bus because of the beautiful lady. When he sat in the same seat, she usually sat the opossitte side seat. in the seat opposite to him.
When she didn't look in Mr. Ishiguro's direction, face Mr. Ishiguro, he gazed at her. When she looked toward him, he looked away from her, pretending to look at something else. There were some times (or you can use: There were moments) when Sometimes their eyes met. During those times/moments In that case, his heart was pounding and it felt like it was about to stop. Several days later, there were some times/moments when she seemed to look at him in a friendly way.0 votedJuly 8, 20181Paid Holidays in Japan
Although the duration of Japan's statutory paid annual leave is not short and Japan has many national holidays, it is often said that Japanese employees are likely to overwork more than workers in other countries.
Under Japan's labor laws, all full-time employees are guaranteed the minimum 10 days of paid annual leave per year, and additional days (max. 10 days) of paid vacation are added according to the length of service. However, most employees are unwilling to take all their fully paid leave. In fact, the average usage rate for paid leave in my company is roughly 50%.
The major reason why employees don't take vacations may be fear for of inconveniencing co-workers. The Japanese culturally put emphasis on being humble and industrious, and tend to consider people who work long hours as good employees. Recently, the Japanese government has been struggling to change such a this situation, but it hasn't made tangible results yet.
That being said, I like enjoying vacations I like being able to take enjoyable vacations by making use of my paid holidays. Next week, I'm going to take days off and travel to Russia and Finland!0 votedJuly 8, 20183July 7th, 2018 My Dear Diary
July 7th, 2018 Saturday RainyMy Dear Diary
It has been raining continuously all day.
Today, I am extremely upset since I have been suffering for my thesis for a long time. This feeling is just like I am swimming in a deep sea, without any lights.* And Any confidence I had that things could be put right were smashed. * or you can use: "lights, and any"
Self-doubt has been something I've struggled with all the time, from debating whether I could get a master's degree to believing I could succeed as a writer. I know self-doubt and the fear of failure have imposed limits on my ability to act. I know we all have to struggle with it, and every day there are many people who give up on their dreams due to self-doubt and fear, but never get over them.
Am I working in a field I really love? Am I a perfectionist? Why do I always lose my passion so fast? Why do I need to push myself so strongly just to get going each day?
Can't fix it.
Sleepless night.
