I´m thankful to God,. Today, I learned that little time can be special if you are join it with people who you love. :) I'm so happy. :)A comma by itself can't separate two complete sentences.
Adjectives come before the noun. (The red car...)
If you use an introductory phrase or word, you have to put a comma after it. (Yesterday, I went...)

Man kann es kaufen, wenn man es rauchen will. ich denke, dass das sehr gut ist, weil Marihuana sicherer als Alkohol und Zigaretten ist. Gibt es keine Grund, in dem man sagen kann dass Marihuana illegal werden muss weil es andere Sache schlechter als Marihuana gibt und sie sind nicht illegal. Die Regierung muss berechtigt sein.January 11, 201431
Holidays are coming to finished an end. ["to come to an end" is the correct phrasal verb]
On Thursday, I will go back to the school, and I don't want it [A comma separates to independent clause]! I have exams and exhibitions [exhibitions? maybe "projects"?].
I'm not used to waking up early ["used to" usually requires the -ing form of a verb]. When school begins again another time, I will have to wake up at 7.30a.m [using "have to" shows that something external is making us do something], then I will leave home at 8a.m, and will drive to for 30 minutes to came at get to my school. The class begins at 9a.m, but I should have to go leave home with so much time early, because in the road, I could meet with some big trucks, and they drive very slow! and I need to park my car, and there isaren't so much a lot of sites at the car park. On Mondays and Thursdays, I have a class since from 9a.m to 8p.m, and because of that, this days I never have free time for me during these days! It is terrible!
But, before this coming Thursday, I'm free to do all whatever I want! I think that I will spend this little time to go to the gym, watch films and, although I don't want it, to do some homework that I don't haven't finished yet.

There is an anecdote about of "The Little Match Girl". The little match girl is a real character in Andersen’s life.
Summary:
One autumn evening in Copenhagen, Denmark, H.C. Andersen, an author, accidentally met a poor little girl selling matches in the street. She was afraid to go home because she hadn't she sold any matches, and her father would beat her if she didn't sell anything [not perfect but future conditional with modal verb of possibility]. H.C. Andersen gave her all of his money. He would travel somewhere leave in the next few days, so he promised her he would give her some other gifts when he comes back [to travel somewhere has the connotation of going towards something not away]. The little girl also promised to give him a gift.
When Andersen had come came back to the city, he remembered his promise. He brought [bought = buy, brought = bring] sweaters and a fleece jacket for the little girl. After asking around about the little match girl, he found out that she froze to death one cold winter night, and there was a pen-holder with text, “For Mr. Andersen” in her pocket [using "knew' gives the sense that he already knows]. She still remembered her promise.
"The Little Match Girl" is a present which author Andersen would like to dedicate to the little girl’s soul, isn't it?

The simple past is used to talk about a single action that happened in the past. (He threw the ball.)

Wann sah ich Leute schwimmen im Schwimmbad, hatte ich gern dasselbe zu machen. Ich war sehr begeistert von der Zusammenspiel des Körperteiles fur schwimmen zu machen. Aber ich hatte gefunden, dass Schwimmenlernen schwer ist. Jetzt habe ich dasselbe Zier, wie ich in der Vergangenheit habe. Also mochte ich schwimmen dieses Jahr trotz allem.January 2, 201410

1) Her elder brother is two years older than she her.
Can I say 'her older brother is ....'
what's the differences between 'older' and 'elder'They are the basically the same. However, "elder" can also be used as a noun.
2) The population of ______ is larger than that of _______
Can I say 'the population of _____ is larger than _____' without saying 'that of'?Yes, but you will risk being unclear. People might think that you mean the size of the place and not the population.

Dear John,
I am writing to invite you to join me in my trip to Sydney this coming Christmas break. I plan to start the journey next Sunday and come back on January fifth.
I have also planned to visit several tourism sites on the itinerary, among which the most prominent ones are Sydney Tower and Opera House. They are appreciated worldwide, and I am sure we will have a good time there if you can come. In addition, we can also spoil ourselves in the marvellous beaches in Sydney, where we can swim and enjoy the sunshine since it's summer time there in Australia.
I originally planned to make this trip with my brother, but unfortunately, he has an important test to take, so he will not be able to join me.
Please let me know your decision by next Tuesday, and I look forward to your early reply.
Yours Sincerely,
JoggingMulberry"To make a trip" is a common collocation most people use.

Sie sieht auch wie eine Diamant aus wenn man sieht sie genau. Aber ist es so schwer eine in seine perfekt Figur zu sehen, weil sie so schnell aufschmelzen. Also die einige fall, dass ich tun kann ist raus zu gehe and die Schee zu observieren dort. ich habe etwas, dass ich nicht verstehen koennte. Hoffentlich kann jemand mich empfehlen. Gibt's eine Regel woruber es sagt, wenn man die Worte kombinieren kann.December 30, 201310
