Hi SMM,
I liked your text. It is always nice to have a friend next to you, so you can share all good and bad moments.
I made some corrections, and I hope you continue this exciting learning process.

My best friend
My best friend is a classmate at school, her name is Shamma and we have been studying together since we entered school in kindergarten. We have studied together all these years. We also sit together on the school bus, because we like being close to each other. Her home is only a ten minute walk from my place.
My friend is kind and sweet-natured. We are always happy to be with each other. We enjoy studying, playing and eating together. If I am sad she will do everything she can to make me smile and feel happy. She has always been kind and helpful to me. if I miss school when I am unwell, she comes to my place to share with me all that has been done at school. When she misses school, I too help her with all that has been covered at school. Now we study together at the university .0 votedSeptember 26, 20180Hi Reiko,
Great text, I agree with you on most of your opinions. I hope my corrections help you to improve your English writing process,

Journal #49 Should schoolchildren have jobs?
[Summary]
In the UK, children under 13 are not allowed to work. Jobs in which children do their free time are called Saturday jobs, but they don´t only work on Saturday. They work for a short time after school on weekdays, long time on Saturday and Sunday. Shop clerk is a very typical type of Saturday job. Saturday jobs are seen almost as a rite in the UK. But the latest statistics in the UK show that everything is changing. In order to work, they need a permit from the authority, and the number of permits that have been issued has been falling year by year. Employers bemoan the lack of work experience young people have, but teenagers are also facing pressure not to take up part-time jobs and to concentrate on their studies.
[Conclusion]
I think it is good experience to work while you are young. We have to act as occasion on demand at every job. Children will learn strictness at work and the importance of teamwork through it. But I’m concerned about employers taking advantage of children. If children are allowed to work, schools must teach them how labour contracts work.0 votedSeptember 26, 20183La transportación pública
Hoy quiero escribir un rato sobre la transportación pública. Llevo un mes viviendo en el campus de mi universidad, y me gusta mucho el sistema de transportación pública que tenemos. Hay una tranvía que pasa por la universidad que puede llevarte a cualquier parte de la ciudad. También hay muchos buses que obviamente son más lentos, pero que van a las ciudades alrededor del capital del estado.
Este sistema es muy útil, y creo que es necesario tener en cualquier ciudad moderna. Hace que personas pobres puedan ir a un supermercado, que estudiantes puedan visitar a sus familias, y que haya menos coches estorbando las calles. La transportación pública es imprescindible y puede cambiar la índole de una ciudad. Con trenes, buses, y un metro, una ciudad cambiará de una metrópoli sucia a una ciudad con arte, negocios, y diversión.Hola Adam,
Ésta es la corrección que le hice a tu texto. Espero te sea útil y que sigas tu proceso de aprendizaje de manera exitosa.

El transporte público

Este sistema es muy útil, y creo que es necesario tenerlo en cualquier ciudad moderna. Hace que personas pobres puedan ir a un supermercado, que estudiantes puedan visitar a sus familias, y que haya menos coches estorbando en las calles. El transporte público es imprescindible y puede cambiar las condiciones de una ciudad. Con trenes, buses y un metro, una ciudad puede cambiar de ser una metrópoli sucia a ser una ciudad con arte, negocios, y diversión.0 votedSeptember 26, 20181Take care of a cat for a week
This afternoon, I went to the airport with my friend to see her off. She brought her cat with her and planed to send it back home located in Kinmen. Kinmen is a county of Taiwan including many beautiful islands. However, she forgot to bring the certificate which can prove the cat vaccinated already. What's worse, there's no time for her to get back and bring the certificate. So, fortunately, I can spend more time with her cat, but unfortunately, she can't pet it for about a week.
Speaking to this cat, her name is 哺哺 which pronounced like ''boo-boo.'' I think there's no one in English-speaking countries would name his/her pet boo-boo. If you do name your pet boo-boo, I'll be definitely curious about the reason! Actually, 哺哺 has no specific meaning in Chinese. My friend named the cat 哺哺 just because she thought it sounds cute.
I love boo-boo so much but I'm kinda allergic to the cat. I just pet her and my eyes are getting itchy and red. I can expect that I'll start sneezing later. Despite of the allergy, I'm glad to have a chance to take care of her!Hi Cocoliu,
I hope everything is going better with your friend´s cat.
Although the text is clear, I believe you could change some things to make it ´sound´ even more clear and natural. I highlighted some words and phrases, so you can check them out.
I am a teacher who considers self-correction can be more effective than teacher correction some times. Check your text and let me know if you made any changes.
Bye!
