Desarollo software y me goza la fotografia y bici de montaña. Libros que me gusta. Batallas en el desierto por Ernesto Pacheco. Mi vida con la ola por Octavio Paz. Cuentos de Eva Luna por Isabel Allende. Historias cortas de Guy de Maupassant, Kafka, et Anton Chekhov. El traidor por Anabel Hernandez.

    Punish and castigate are synonyms. Punish is used more frequently than castigate. Castigate is a fancier word that originates from latin. In spanish you would say "castigar" Penalize ( verb ) penalty ( noun ) is a type of punishment. It is often used in sports as well as other situations. The soccer player tripped the other player and received a yellow card as a penalty. He was penalized. You could use the word punish, but the word penalty is most often used in this situation. You would find the word castigate used more often in literature or other more formal written language. A child would not know what castigate means.

    Are you happy?

    When I walk along the road, I feel happy.  When I ride roam about on my bike to roam, I feel happy. When I sit in a cafe, I feel happy. Then I realize that being "happy" is a simple thing. 
    However, many people have forgotten how to be happy.  They have lost their way.
    They are busy with so-called "life". One day, they realized they lost something. At beginning, they didin't know what they lost.

    They are preoccupied and busy completing tasks and fufilling others wishes.  One day, they become aware that they have lost something in their life.  At first, they are not sure what they are lacking ( lacking = missing ).

    Then they feel sad and they suffer. felt sad,hurting.They have lost their confidence. aren't confident in life. 
    That is (the ???) life.  Do you lost your happy.  Have you lost your happiness?  Are you happy?
    Give yourself a vacation. Take a vacation and take some time for yourself.  Think about your life. ( Contemplate life.  What do you enjoy?  What makes you happy )

    without = absence, lacking I left my home without my car keys. I was not able to start my car. ( absence, lacking, without ) I arrived at school without my homework. With no shoes, Thomas needed to walk carefully and slowly over the rocky trail. With no food, we might starve.

    Note:  把两个空间之间的期间在句末标点符号和下一句的开头。把一个逗号后的一个空间

    Put two spaces after the period at the end of a sentence and the word at the begining of the next sentence.  (.  The) Put one space between a comma and the next word. (sister, brother) 

    Note:  There is a large difference in meaning between "my old sister" and my "older sister" You intended to use "older sister".

    Note:  In american culture it is not necessary to mention whether a sibling ( brother, sister ) is older or younger in order to be respectful.  You can mention this because it is interesting, but it is not necessary in order to maintain respect.

    Daydream OR Plan???

    As a girl,I often think of some things supposed to take place in the future when I have nothing to do. For example, I ofen think about what kind of style should be used in my future house, what the animals i should keep, and even what plants i should buy to decorate my future house and my future life. I even think that maybe one day i can take a very healthy and cute dog or cat to travel with me if I decide to be single forever.
    Honestly,I don't know these fancy things r sort of plans or just daydream!
