    1) Are you the type of person who treats\takes holidays very seriously?
    2) I accidentally ripped off a piece of skin on my leg ["from my leg" might be better] when I was exercising in the morning. [ouch!]
    3) This old lady is quite sleazy. I saw how a waiter wiped off the table after she dined. It took him a long time to clean the table and [the space] around it. [I haven't seen "sleazy" in this context. It's more for things that are shabby, disreputable, shady, like a person in a nightclub or a dirty storefront]
    4) I prefer to save up some money from my salary ["save up some money" is better on its own; here one could say "set aside some money from my salary"] - you never know how ["when" is a bit better] life will change.
    5) I wrapped <s>up</s> the meeting up earl<s>ier</s>y [earlier than what?] because my partner asked me to call him urgently.
    6) He has become a bit irritable recently. <s>and</s> [better as two sentences] I guess that it's his divorce that made him so.
    7) I don't like books <s>which have</s> with dust jackets. These dust jackets always tear.

    La mia vacanza a Siena Quest'estate sono andato a Siena con un amico. Siamo partito di sud della Francia in auto, e abbiamo seguito l'autostrada fino a Siena. Volevo andare a Siena per tre ragioni: per praticare un po' il mio Italiano, vedere il Palio d'agosto, e trovare qualche amici che sono laggiù. Ho fatto, tre anni fa, un programmo a Siena con la mia università allora ho potuto incontrare il professore che continua a fare lo stesso programmo. Ho anche potuto vedere alcuni amici che vivono in Siena e mangiare alla cena publica di una comunità locale (chiamato le contrade). Durante il giorno del Palio, abbiamo seguito la folla nella piazza centrale e guardato la corsa pazza. Un cavallo scosso ha vinto, alla sorpresa generale. Al fino, la prossima giornata abbiamo fatto un giro a piedi della città.

    À la base c'est pour exprimer un doute sur ce que l'on vient de dire "c'est ça ou autre chose ?" => "c'est ça ou quoi ?" Ce qu'on dit est tellement douteux / étrange / surprenant / agaçant que l'on cherche une autre explication / version. D'où le "ou quoi" à la fin. Mais maintenant c'est devenu un tic ! Souvent ça ne veut pas dire grand chose, sauf ajouter un peu de surprise / doute etc. Peut-être que tu as remarqué qu'ils commencent leur tirades souvent avec "Écoutez" aussi !

    It's unclear to me, could you give more context? Probably something about his love becoming fragile, but this is not a common expression.

    I think Antalki's "notebook" feature is better for this question, but let me try anyways: Anna: There's a flashing light on my air-conditioner. José: Cleaning needs to be done on the air conditioner each 6 months. Anna: Who will clean my air conditioner? José: My head of staff will clean the air conditioner. Anna: Now? José: He will start to clean your air conditioner in an hour. Anna: Ok. I will wait. Jose writes down a small paper: 'Carlos needs to start cleaning Ana's air conditioner at 4 pm'

    Chess in London

    One of my (great) pleasures is playing chess with locals during travel.

    I went to London last week and stopped by a park where chess players haunt [something] every afternoon. (Haunt is transitive so it needs an object. For example: a park haunted by chess players every afternoon OR a park that chess players haunt every afternoon)
    When I arrived there were already 10+ locals play<s>ed</s>ing blitz and bullet games (5-10 mins fast chess). I believe that I was the first Japanese female chess player who visited <s>there</s> them / that place as chess <s>was</s> is not popular in Japan. I am <s>good</s> better at fast games than long games, so I performed better than they expected and surprised them.

    With / in Chess <s>does not matter </s>age, gender, and nationality do not matter. We can communicate <s>over</s> with the board whether <s>or not </s>we have common language or not, because chess is a universal language.

    (Great message!)

    Mon premier Notebook

    Bonjour, mon nom est Laina ("je m'appelle Laina" is better) et je suis un étudiant à Kimberley. Je parle un peu <s style="color: rgb(230, 0, 0);">de</s> Français mais pas beaucoup. J'aime apprendre de nouvelles langues parce que quand je vais aux endroits où l'on parle seulement en Français je peux parler avec des gens et comprendre les choses qu'elles disent. Cette année je veux apprendre plus de mots en Français pour être plus fluide. Pendant quatre ans j'habitais au Quebec et apprenais le Français beaucoup plus que maintenant parce que mon école au Quebec était Française donc les classes ("cours" is better) comme la gym étaient faites en Français. Mais maintenant j'habite en British Colombia et j'apprends seulement le Français en classe de Français et pas les autres classes comme celle de Gym ou de math.
