I Have a Cold
I have a heavy bad cold, with a sore throat, a running nose and a headache. I don't want to eat anything. I don't want to go to work tomorrow, but have to. I can't fall asleep. I miss my parents and friends. How I wish I had a pet like Hachi as my companion! I feel very lonely right now.

Oh, Evelyn, I'm so sorry! :( I'll pray that you feel better really soon.

What taste kind of sweets do you like? I love the taste of green tea.
This weekend,I decided to make green tea sweets because a couple of green tea latte sticks had been remaining [had been left] or [were remaining] in a kitchen drawer. Unfortunately, it was too sweet to drink.
I picked up the easiest recipe for cookies on a cooking website; all you need was is margarine, cake flour, and a single stick of green tea latte. (plus, green tea powder and sugar if you want)
However it was a bit hard for me. Actually it was the first time to make my first time making sweets.
The mixed cookie dough wasn't really combined and or sticky. I thought I might be have been wrong with amount of something, though, so I added a cup of milk by following to a tip on the recipe. <--(Great sentence!)
Then it seemed work well.
Finally, the baking process was successful. I was extremely happy as [because] or better yet [that it was actually tasty] it was tasty. Less sugar and one spoon of green tea powder made it bitter and so it had the green tea taste that I wanted.
This is the picture of it. Does it look delicious? [It sure does! (*▽*)]----------------------
Great work! よく頑張りましたね。すごい！Thanks for sharing your recipe!
By the way, for written English, a space goes after each punctuation mark.

I decided to practice my spoken and written English carefully everyday. I really want to improve my English level. I want to go abraod to lead a different life. My dear friends, would you help me?

Today is the second day when I have come here（italki）. I think italki is a good place to improve my English. But I also feel I can't speak it. Making an appropriate sentence is too difficult for me. I saw some guys write. They use so many words I can't know that means don't know (or [don't understand]). I'm anxious about that. Who can help me and give me some advices to help me improve my English level? Thanks a lot. I hope i can make many friends in italki. Y(^_^)Y I'm still happy to help you to learn Chinese if you're Interested in Chinese. 3／27／2013。

Keep going! Your English is very easy to understand! *(^_^)* Sometimes I'm really anxious, too, but everybody has to study a lot to learn new words. I think you're doing great!
0 votedMarch 27, 20130I think it has a lot to do with what your goal is in language-learning. If you want to pass the JLPTs (for a job or school), then making sure to practice JLPT-specific words and grammar into your notebook entries would be useful. That’s where writing short reports/essays comes in, because you practice a lot of vocabulary on a certain subject.
But if you’re looking to become a fluent, comfortable conversationalist, then no word is a wasted effort. They may not stick at first, but the more you hear/use them, the better you’ll remember them. Since fluency seems to be the main goal of most people on italki, you see a lot of notebook entries with titles like “友達と一緒に” or “日本語を勉強することは…” Some talk about movies or books, some ask questions about Japanese culture, and some even talk about their personal lives and what’s really on their minds. The idea is to use conversational Japanese and learn how to really express yourself. :)
(I also get the impression that these more personable entries are more likely to receive corrections because they’re more interesting to read. It's good to keep it to a few paragraphs, too; I think people shy away from super-long entries.)
For me personally, I haven’t written very many entries yet, but I tend to talk about my favorite anime shows or J-pop singers, or just about myself, what I’m up to, and the endless adventures of learning Japanese. Things I would talk about with a real person, so I can learn more conversational speech-patterns.
