    Sentiment

    Everthing around me except for the things I care about are just silhouettes cast on (the/a) mirror. It has nothing to do with me, it is transient and meaningless. It is no longer pleasing to me. The cherry blossoms in Japan, the Aegean Sea in Greece, the Sun Moon Lake in Taiwan, the London Eye in Great Britain are still engraved in my mind.

    I don't want to write any kind of notebook entry

    I'm here to search for a conversation partner, not to improve my writing. So pardon me, but I'm not interested in writing about about any bullshit.

    In NY, I'd say no. In theory, I understand what you mean, but balcony, patio or deck are the best words for American English. My friends in southern states know the word "verandah/veranda", but my friends in other parts of the U.S. rarely understand or use the word. When you say "stick out from the wall of an apartment", you do mean an external part of the apartment, right?

    Hello Hossein, here are a few examples :)

    "Waiting for my exam results was nerve racking!"

    "My boyfriend is a professional rally driver, being in the car with him is nerve racking."

    "Can you call me when you land safely? It's nerve racking worrying about your safety."

    It is a good word to express extreme nervousness or anxiety. Personally, it's nerve racking for me when I'm waiting for news that affects my life, or when I'm worrying about friends. I also find visa interviews or job interviews to be nerve racking. Even my driving test was nerve racking, and I also find medical tests to be nerve racking when I'm waiting for the results.

    Just a quick correction, you typed "nerve rakcing" instead of "nerve racking" in your first sentence. I hope my examples help :)

    Adopting a dog

    I'm seriously thinking about adopting a dog. I've spent a lot of time this week searching for abandoned dogs on the Internet.
    I'd rather give a home to an adult dog than buy a puppy. I respect people that prefer a particular breed of dog, but I've seen photos and videos of dogs in animal shelters and they look so sad that I think they deserve to have a family.
    My children prefer a female dog, and it should be small, given that we live in a flat.
    However, we must think about it carefully, because if we decide to do it, it will be a great responsibility.

    You used "rather than" correctly in your four example sentences. The only real difference was the tense. For the 2nd sentence you used a progressive tense so I know the action is still in progress or is happening over a significant period of time. For the 4th sentence I know they are always making their own food instead of finding it, since you used a progressive tense. I hope this helps :)

    Running for class leader

    Instigated by my roommate, I stood up from my seat and walked towards the platform to make a speech in order to get the position this afternoon. I pretended to be calm and self-confident but I knew I was anxious. Although I didn't achieve my goal, I felt it is worth my time because I became a girl who dared to express myself in public. Since I challenged myself this time, I believe I can do better next time.

    안녕하세요 :) Essentially, yes, but there are some differences depending on the country and school. Headmaster is more commonly used in British countries, instead of Principal. However, I've been told some schools can have a Headmaster AND a Principal. Principal is more commonly used in the USA, but at private or elite schools, the term Headmaster can be used instead.
