- 今日、私の誕生日です… 昨年、このノートに書き始めました。けど、それは大変になりました。時間がかかりすぎるからでした。 新しい仕事を始めましたので、私のモチベーションがなくなりました。少しずつ私は日本語の勉強をしなくなりました。義理の兄は日本人だけど彼は遠い場所に引っ越しました。その後私の周りに日本語を話せる人はありいませんでした。 それなのに、日本語がとっても好きです。諦めることはしません。今日、私の誕生日です。改めて、日本語を勉強するのがいいと思いました。これからも私は頑張り続けていきます。 この日本語の作文に間違いがあったら、ごめんなさい。読んでくれてありがとうございます。August 22, 201950
Help me.
Neglect, disregard, overlook and ignore. When they are used as a verb, are they interchangeably used? Could you help explain to me by giving me examples ?They are alike in meaning, but the nuance is different.
Neglect is a serious thing. "She left her baby in a hot car. She neglected her baby."
Disregard is not serious. It means normally to ignore something on purpose. "Please disregard the email I sent you on accident."
On that note, ignore is a common word, it just means to not pay attention to something or someone. "My daughter is mad at me, so she is ignoring me when I speak."
Overlook, on the other hand, means to ignore or miss something by accident. "He overlooked the crack in the pipe, and it burst an hour later."
Overlook, sometimes, also means willingly ignore something as a courtesy to someone. "She overlooked the rude thing her friend said."
I hope this helps! Please ask me if you have any questions.

Last week, the team didn't even want to schedule it!
I pushed back, arguing that we couldn't avoid it. Since we failed to deliver the memo we promised, the client is convinced we're dropping the ball. This kind of mistake puts our whole client relationship at risk.If we don't employ the necessary measures or come up with any contingency plans, the scale of financials consequences will be too steep to imagine. We won't be able to afford such an outcome.
At some point, we need to fix our mistakes, and it has to be done earlier rather than later. In this meeting, we will craft a new policy to be implemented towards the end of the month. If we don't make serious commitments in a very short period of time, I fear the lack of funds will lead to the firm's collapse.

Great job! I'm glad this is just for practice. :)
Note: "Wide of the mark" is a good expression. It's just not suited for this situation. "Dropping the ball" is a saying that basically means "letting everyone down", "failing at an important moment". In the United States, we say this a lot.
