If I have a time machine (homework)

I would like to meet my <s>grand father</s> grandfather, because he <s>has</s> passed away before I was born<s style="background-color: rgb(230, 0, 0);">e</s>. My mother sometimes tells me about him. When she talks about him<s>.</s><s style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 0);">,</s> <s>S</s>she always says, “He was a mayor in his city. He tried to build a bridge to make people comfortable and gathered people together to build it. And he rescued a person who fell in the river. I’m very proud of him. So I want to meet and talk to/with (you can use either 'to' or 'with' but not both) him.

Hi Emily, nice work on your homework. I didn't make many corrections. I think there may be a more accurate word to use than 'comfortable' when you talk about the bridge. It is not grammatically incorrect, but it sounds strange to talk about a bridge having that effect. Perhaps you mean that people felt 'safe' having a new bridge, or that he built a bridge 'so people could live more comfortably'. If you let me know what you want to say with this sentence, I can help you rephrase it if you like - but the sentence is already grammatically correct :)

Do you think that the study of history is still important？

My view is that it is still essential for us to learn history even in today's word.

One of the reasons is that it not only helps us understand how things come/came to be, but also allows us to appreciate everything we have around us, instead of just talking it for granted.

However, it doesn't mean that we should live in the past. What I'm saying is that, most of the time, we <s>u</s> should?? (to) live in the present, because it will give us a large amount of happiness.

Hello 润芝,

Well done!! I read your writing and I hardly had to make any corrections. I only highlighted two things. The only thing is the highlighted 'u', which I think is a typo. Perhaps you wanted to say the word 'should'?? If this is the case you need to also delete the following word 'to'. Where you wrote 'understand how things come to be', it is not incorrect - but if you want to talk about how things happened in the past, it's better to sat 'understand how things came to be'. If you leave it as 'come' it means how things happen in general, including now in the present, rather than referring to specific historical events.

I hope this helps!

Hi Vũ Quỳnh!

Here are some corrections:

My favorite teacher

There were so many teachers <s>in</s> at my school. One of my favorite teachers was Ms Duong, who taught literature <s>subject</s> at high school. She had a very warm personality. She was a good teacher, who always tried her best <s>for</s> to help students to actually understand the lessons, and we asked for help whenever we needed. So, all the students loved her. She taught <s>we</s> us about the poem, **loving every thing <s style="color: rgb(230, 0, 0);">around</s> about life**. Lessons were more interesting when she taught. She inspired me to study literature. Now, I like literature. I appreciated her help very much<s> for</s> and what she <s>has done</s> did for us. I <s>were</s> am sure that generations of students will always remember her as one of the best teachers.

I hope this helped! Good work and all the best :)

Climacteric changes

These days, my father has become a big fan of an on-going Korean drama called the King which has <s>been also</s> also been provided on Netflix. The drama is a kind of romantic fantasy. I think, because of that, my father <s>fall</s> has fallen in love with it, and furthermore my father might <s>have</s> be going through/be experiencing climacteric changes, so his sensitivity might can change in a more sentimental way, like a girl's<s>what a girl has</s>. I think this change also affects his emotion, so my father sometimes sheds tears watching TV dramas or movies. It is intriguing since even my mother and I do not feel sad in many cases when my father is crying and touched. Is my father really experiencing my teenager (do you mean 'having the experience of a teenager'?) indirectly by <s>riding</s> travelling through a time machine called climacterium?

I want to find a native <s>in</s> English speaker for a <s>call</s> video call , it is <s>for</s> to win a challenge in English.

April 27

Between January and April I've put on two kilograms. What’s more, I gained five kilograms at my heaviest. I can't face going out and playing any more.

Over those past three months, I was a pig. (I am sad to describe myself as a pig, but it’s actually true). I would get up late to have breakfast, after breakfast I would play on my smart phone and lie on the bed or sofa until lunch. After lunch, I would take a nap. When I woke up, I would start playing on my smart phone again. Dinner at six or seven, then I would take a shower. I would watch TV for two or three hours, then go to bed.This was how I'd spend every day.

However, I couldn’t put on my old pants one day. I had to lose weight. Now I have lost three kilograms. I'm fatter than four months ago, but I can wear my old pants again.

I hope I can be as thin as before.

Hello Ciyin, great work on your English! I feel for you, I have trouble losing weight too - but remember you are beautiful as you are!! All the best.

I'm learning English now, who can hang out with me everyday? Or make friends with me?

I'm learning English by myself now.

My Kiwi friends said I have the level of a junior high school student.

But I don't think so.

I'm really not good at listening or reading.

(I) Hope that we can hang out with each other everyday, and read something together.

I like news, politics, history, and biography.

I'm a Chinese Christian who lives in Texas.

I joined the Hong Kong protest and made speeches in Mandarin Chinese in front of the assemblies.

I was attacked by a crazy mad person who was anti-protest.

I'm anti-communist, and believe that people should live in their own way with freedom and democracy, live a kind life with pride. [Do you mean live a 'kind life' here? I have interpreted it that way and have made the appropriate correction].

I'm very ashamed of what the Communist party did and what the brain-washed Chinese said to the world.

As a Chinese person, I apologise to Americans and people who are suffering all over the world.

Now people can understand something very clearly: what a country looks like without basic human rights, freedom and democracy,

I hope that one day I can make a speech in English in front of people.

I know nowadays lots of people hate Asian people especially Chinese, and a news report said that more than 60% of Americans dislike Chinese people.

I'm positive, at least there still remains 40%.

I know nowadays there are also attacks and assaults on Asian people - sickening and contemptible.

However, I don't fear that. I feel like most Texans are kind-hearted and helpful, and normally warm and friendly.

I believe in God and the kindness of people.

And not every Chinese is brain-washed. I'm not.

Hope that you can be my first friend in Texas.

See ya, have sweet dreams.
