- Can you do more sleeping less?How do you usually feel after you stay up all night long? Are you extremely worn out the next day or do you feel like nothing happened? Sometimes getting the proper amount of sleep isn't a choice. When you want to step up a project of yours or even start a new one for example, some possibilities come into place and working during the night looks very attractive. There's less noise. You don't feel like you should be somewhere else. You can concentrate more easily. There is most likely no one to disturb you. Once I heard a wise man say that it's only worth it to skip a night of sleep if you are going to be doing something that will add to your future. I totally agree with this line. I'm personally way more productive during the night especially from 9pm to 3am.During this time of day I've read the majority of the books which I've set on my list. Something weird happens to me sometimes. There are nights I lay down on my bed to sleep 3am and wake up 7am and don't get tired at all. On the other hand, there are times I do the same thing and get freaking exhausted (for a couple of days actually).I've been working hard to understand how I can sleep less without feeling this "resonating exhaustion" in the following days. I strongly believe it'll be great turning point for me. Doctors recommend at least 8 hours of sleep a night. I guess it must be an average. I know people who do the same thing I do (in some cases with even less sleep) and they have achieved many of their biggest goals. Clearly, it works differently for different people.0 votedApril 30, 20203
Interesting entry! Living in Korea myself, I have noticed a large amount of stray cats everywhere. I went ahead and slightly revised some things to make it sound more natural.
Cats in my community 1/30/2019
As more and more stray cats appear in our community, people within our community have two side comments about them. Some people say the cats are great animals to catch rats and that they are cute. Some people say it will cause a big problem to our community's public health and will hurt little children.
Two or more kind guys even brought food and put it on the corner of the building to feed them. But that caused more people to have a negative opinion towards the issue so they complained to the property manager.
Since our city policy, urban managers need to deal with stray animals, so the manager arranged a team to catch these cats, but we do not know where will they go.
I found now in our community and even in all of our country, more and more issues like the cats are related to the benefit of everybody. But there is no right system to solve the problem, we have no election, no organization to discuss ,debate or vote. So as the high development of our economy, a better social system should also to be built and developed.0 votedJanuary 30, 20190JUST A DIARY ENTRY ON Oct.17th

JUST A DIARY ENTRY ON Oct.17th
Autumn has been just around the corner here in Japan. As you know, possibly you don't know though if you don't do know about Japan, So some extremely weather have has hit Japan, like many earthquakes and powerful, high temperature typhoons. Thanks to this weather, us Japanese can grow our tolerance against extreme weather. However, the broadcast told reported that similar extremely weather has been them have hitting countries other than Japan nowadays. And then, I was thinking about how come why it has been like this all over the world. This extreme (unexpected/bad) weather forces us to be concerned daily about our safety. I hope it will be good soon.1. The first sentence sounds more natural if you word it " has been just around the corner here in Japan." You could also say "right around the corner" which is another common way of using this expression.
2. like many earthquakes and powerful, high temperature typhoons- also more natural sounding and a simpler way to word it.
3. However, the broadcast reported that similar extreme weather has been hitting countries other than Japan nowadays.
4. "We are forced by this weather" isn't quite correct so I tried making the sentence more natural by saying " This extreme (unexpected/bad) weather forces us to be concerned daily about our safety."
5. I changed your use of the word "extremely" to "extreme". You would use the adverb form of extreme if you were modifying a verb, adjective or other adverb. An example of using the word "extremely" would be, "The typhoon caused extremely windy weather", as extremely is modifying the adjective "windy".
I hope this helps you in some way. I'm from the states at strong hurricanes seem to be more frequent than ever there as well. Climate change definitely is a factor in the extreme weather we have been experiencing.

An hour ago, I was preparing dinner. I decided to make chicken and vegetable pies. The dough was excellent and the stuff as well as well as the stuffing. Everything was perfect until I put the tray of the pies in the gasious gaseous oven. I left them in and left. Five minues ago I came to find the smoke coming out of the oven. It seems that the fire was high and I didn't pay attention.
The pies turned black as they were totally burnt. tottally.
Fortunately, there were six pieces that I haven't put yet hadn't baked yet and I managed to bake them safely.Sorry to hear about your pies! It happens to the best of us.. :)

Yesterday, a friend of mine asked me something. She said to me, "I wonder which dress I should choose?" She had to get a wedding dress for her wedding, but she didn't seem to be able to decide which to choose.
She sent me two photos of the cute dresses after she asked the question to me. And then, I recommended the second one because the dress looked quite elegant to me, but she said, "I think the first one looks cuter." I felt she seemed to be more interested in the first one, so I recommend the first one, but she said, "I think the second one is also good."
Eventually, she was unable to decide which dress to choose. I assumed there had already been the right answer in her mind.
I don't really like this these types of questions like that, because most of my women friends are never satisfied with my answer no matter which I recommend. However, I like her because she is one of my best friends. I'm a woman as well, but I get something that I want myself without asking others. I wonder if only Japanese women ask others this these type of questions.0 votedJune 26, 20182Do you like your job?
I have been working for 10 years. I graduated from university in 2007. For a years, I was an unemployed . In 2009, I got a job in a hospital as an insurance staff member. I just worked for a year here there. In The next year, I passed a government employee's test. What a surprise, I work at a hospital again.
At first, I didn't know what should I to do at my work. The department of human resources didn't give me a clear task. So I tried very hard to find something to do while I was at work. I'm not the type of person who just sits and talks with my coworkers without being productive. I was so busy at my previous job. Sometimes I didn't have a time to eat lunch and took my job to work home which was not an a usual thing again for me.
I tried so hard to make keep myself busy day by day. At last, I did many kinds of jobs and felt so tired. Suddenly, I felt angry because I worked alone and no one cared about my work. I had to find a way again how in which I could work together with my coworker for a project. It was a challenge for me.
At last, I get received a promotion at my work and I love it. I enjoy with the responsibilities what that I have now. Even That being said, the challenges are growing is getting bigger and I have to study a lot because it's a new thing for me my new tasks are unfamiliar to me.
How about you guys? Do you love your job?Great work Amalya! I restructured a few sentences for you, let me know if you have any questions. I am currently a nanny and can say I do love my job. I have worked many customer service related jobs that were draining and often negatively affected my mood. Spending my days with two young boys who are so excited about every little thing in life is quite refreshing. I am almost always exhausted after a day with them but it definitely has been fun.

I went to Alcatraz Island last Friday. At first, before going there, I wondered why no one could swim from the island to San Francisco. After looking at the sea stream and the distance, I felt that I could not swim out alive if I was a prison-breaker. The sightseeing from the island was very beautiful. The contrast between the blue sky and the ocean was very exciting, and the buildings and towers seemed to be built on the sea. In the contrast, inside of the prison was very dark and dirty. I thought that the prisoners desired to be released when they looked at this beautiful scene.0 votedMay 23, 20181My favorite sports:basketball
It was raining today. That's too bad because I was going to run. But it will be fine tomorrow.
Today's topic is my favorite sports. There are many sports that I like to watch but my most favorite is basketball.
My hobby is to watch NBA games. The players are muscular and tall. In addition, they can move very quickly and jump very high. Needless to say, their performance is amazing.
But to be honest, I haven't played it too much because I have belonged to tennis club for a long time. I'm not sure why I like basketball. Anyway I like it. I want to go to the US to watch NBA some day.
Thank you for reading my notebook. Could you correct my sentence? Are there any other way to say this? If you'd like, please teach me. Thanks.0 votedMay 23, 20181
