- "A nice change"? Hey, I'm doing some work for my Japanese class. I'm writing a pretend letter and talking about the weather. I want to write "It has been warm lately, which is a nice change". I can say that it's warm, but I'm not sure about the "a nice change" bit. Is there an expression like this in Japanese? Thanks in advance. =]It would also help if someone could show me how to say "It has been very warm recently, which is is a nice change considering I live in England" - or something along those lines. =] ありがとうございます!March 25, 201220
I am an English major university student. I'm a girl(1). I like travelling and listening to music, both of which enrich my daily life(2). I have passed (a/the/my) CET 6 test. My problem lies in oral (spoken) English. My spoken English is very poor. I don't want to be a "dumb English speaker", so I want to find a friend here with whom we can improve our language abilities together. I hope I am lucky enough to meet you, my dear friends!(3)
(1) "I'm female" sounds a bit better.
(2) "both of which enrich my daily life" - this is fine, but you could probably leave this out. Or you could say "I really enjoy travelling and listening to music - they make my life more enjoyable."
(3) A more commonly used expression would be: "I look forward to meeting you all!" We don't usually say "my friends" or "my dear friends" in natural spoken English.

English people will say "one euro" or "two euros". Might be interesting to hear how people in Ireland say it too, as they actually use the Euro there.0 votedMarch 22, 20123
Someone has cheated on me
Firstly, I want say I was very depressed today because someone has cheated me. I don't know how to express it, but it was a huge shock for me.
The person promised me that he would do one thing for me but in the end, he told me, "Sorry, I never promised this" and he broke his promise.
I know it is difficult to be sucessful (?).
So, I should update my conditions (?) and wish everyone happiness, including myself.
---"i know if one person want to be successful it will be very diffcult for to achieve" - To be successful at what?
"I should update my conditions" - I am not sure what you mean here. Can you try a different sentence?^^^ Try to write these 2 sentences again and I can help you correct them. =]

I felt so great after my back massage, but I still did not buy another ticket*. I told them "Oh, sorry, I'm saving money for travel, so I am poor right now," haha... Anyway, I think it was a good advertisement. If I were a rich woman, I would like to go there every day to relax!
*or you could say: "book another appointment"

Hello, my name is Yuiko. I'm working at a foreign funded company. I need to improve my English because I didn't use English haven't used it for a long time. My major was Japanese when I was in college. I think I was focused on Japanese too much and overlooked English. Now my post is administration. Sometimes I need to deal with correspondence in Engish and receive clients from other countries. Therefore, I want to improve my English.
- You have written this well and there are only a few small mistakes. Below I have written it out again and made a few changes/additions which help it flow better, but what you have written with the corrections is fine. =]
