    The song of a friend

    I wanted to try something new, so I decided to translate my favorite Japanese songs into English.
    Please correct my English and tell me where it doesn't make sense, so that I could improve my English and let other people know my favorite song(^▽^)

    友達の唄　

    By the time you'll become grown up <- You don't need conditional, as you're talking about the future
    You'll have gone through many rainy days <-  Perfect!
    But will you remember that one of those days <-  Perfect!
    we walked under the same rain?  <-  You need a question mark here.

    We walked long roundabout ways  <- Perfect!
    But now, can I call you as my friend <- 'Can I call you my friend' - call you as my friend sounds like a phone call
    Will you still be my friend  <- Perfect!
    for as long as you could remember me  <- Perfect!
    even after we say goodbye? <- Question mark again :)

    My hand was empty and cold <- Perfect!
    And your hand was the first hand that I've ever hold  I ever held <- This needs to be simple past tense
    We were there <- Perfect!
    in the place where time disappears <- Perfect!
    But you held my hand tight  <- Perfect!
    and pulled me strong  <- Not sure about this - it's difficult to translate. You can say 'made me strong', or 'pulled me along' 

    in search of the way to our home  <- Perfect!

    Even on a day that I'm crying <- it's actually okay without the extra word, but easier to understand if you define it
    I hope that you're smiling  <- Perfect
    And I hope that in your memory <- Perfect
    I'm smiling just like I was when we were together <- Perfect
    And I can't help but hope  <- Perfect
    that you'll remember us sometimes  <- Perfect!

    You did a really great job with this!  I listened to the song on Youtube, I love it.  Thanks for the link!

    Can I get a comment on my sentence?

    A: I would ask my brother to handle this thing, but he is so too busy to help me
    B: So, What are you gonna do about it?
    A: I don't know. What should you gonna do would you do, if you were me?
    -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    A: I think he is charming. because I like the way he get dressed dresses.
    B: If he didn't get dressed dress well anymore, you wouldn't think he was is charming anymore?
    A: Well, I would, but not so much.


    Would and Should are difficult :)

    Should sounds like there's an obligation to do something. "I should do my homework." 

    You can say "I should ask my brother..." in the first sentence... either is fine, although they have slightly different meanings. 'Should' sounds wrong in the third sentence, though. You are not obliging your friend to do anything, you just want their opinion.

    It means that at the beginning of 2001, the 12 quarters (four years) before that had all been in profit, and that was a good thing for the industry, so they started 2001 in a good situation.

    Hello! I noticed a few things which would improve your work. 1) Remember to capitalise words which are proper nouns. White House should always be capitalised when it refers to the President's residence. White House Correspondents' Dinner should be capitalised, as should President Bush, as this is his title. 2) I think 'mundane' is not the best word for what is meant here, as 'mundane' usually describes something which is boring and unoriginal. Do you mean that it has become like many other celebrity events? If so, a better word may be 'conventional' 3) > to promote the freedom of the press, rewards the best of political journalism (prizes are offered) and raise funds to help pay scholarships to aspiring journalists. Your verbs should match here, so 'rewards' isn't correct. 'reward' is the correct choice, as it agrees with the 'to' at the start of the phrase. 4) > and they regularly participate in. 'In' is a preposition here, and does not belong at the end of a sentence. Just remove it. (...)and they regularly participate. I hope that helps! :)
