Whether to buy a resort apartment?
I met a woman who is in her 80s.
She is a tea ceremony teacher, holding her lessons twice a month.
Her class takes a break off in August, and in that time she goes to her summer retreat.
It’s a small apartment room in the countryside.
That area was famous as a vacation resort when Japan’s economy was booming, and many real estate agents built a lot of cottages, apartments and hotels for holiday makers.
Although the area is still popular as a winter resort for skiers and snowboarders, since the country’s economy became sluggish, many property owners have sold their properties and the prices of them have also getting lower extensively. (I'd suggest you restructure this sentence as below, hopefully this retains the same meaning)Although the area is still popular as a winter resort for skiers and snowboarders, many property owners sold their properties since the country’s economy became sluggish and house prices dropped dramatically.
As a result there are a lot of vacant apartments.
I heard that you can purchase a small apartment room as cheap as for about 1000 US dollars.
But don’t rush to get one.
If you don’t have a car, it might be difficult to get daily necessities and foods.
There aren’t any stores or public transportation in that area.(Nicely written and this area sounds quite interesting. Amazing to think you could own and holiday home for so little)

- 6ヶ月前の結婚式 ６ヶ月前に日本人と結婚しました。その日は楽しかったけど本当に結婚式を考えると一日だけじゃなかった。去年９月にニュージーランドで婚約した日から結婚式まではありえないほど忙しい生活でした。１１回ＷｅｄｄｉｎｇＦａｉｒに行って料理をただでいただいた。楽しかったけど４回ぐらい完璧な結婚所をみつけったと思ってカンセルをした。ＷｅｄｄｉｎｇＰｌａｎｎｅｒにいつも「すぐに決めれば安くなりますよ！」って言われました。その圧力を嫌いになってよくストレスさせられた。 日本で結婚式をやっていっぱい習いました。むずかしかったけどちゃんとできてすごくて忘れられない日だった。 （短いね。もっと結婚式について次の回に書いてみる。）October 12, 201221

Should young adults live with or without their family? Which Whici is better?
I think that young adults should live without their family. I have two reasons for reason about that. The first one reason is that if they live on their own, they can learn how to do household chores like washing dishes and cooking. Another reason is that they can know what society is like by living by themselves.(through their life without parents.)
If young adults live alone, they have to do everything that their parents once did for them. They should clean their room, wash dishes and cook meals. If they live with parents, they don't do these the kinds of things because they don't need to do. As a result, they become adults without any houshold skills. It is very difficult to live without these the skills when they are adults. Independence from their parents helps young adults in the future because they can get houshold skills.
Young adults understand what society is during their life without their family. They should make many contracts all alone when they live alone. For example, when they move into their home, they should let some company tell that they change their home to be able to use gas and electricity. And they also have local government tell that. (I don't think I understand these sentences. Maybe you should try one more time. Do you mean "they will be told by companies that gas and electricity costs will have to be paid. Also local government requires money."???They 'll go through do all of these processes by themselves. And through them, they'll get to know the structure of the society. It's important for them to know that because through that, they may have more concern about society more.
In short, young adults should live by themselves because they can learn some household skills and about how society works. households and society.
This topic is from my TOEFL workbook.Well written Mami!

I like taking pictures so much. So I had usually had a camera whenever I'm going out so far. But lately almost I'm taking pictures by my phone.
I like taking pictures so much so I usually take a camera with me whenever I go out. Lately however, I'm mostly taking pictures with my phone.
Almost - Mostly eg. Japan almost won gold in soccer. (it's similar to the word nearly.) 日本語でおしいって言うでしょう。
Maybe you want to say "I almost always use my phone now" which is ok too.
I have two my cameras cameas. One is a single-lens reflex camera, and the other is a compact digital camera. But a camera in my phone is very high-performance and I can take many beautiful pictures! them beautiful so much! So lately I go out with just my phone and I'm taking pictures of food or landscapes.I feel the same as you Yuyu. Recently I use my iphone for most things. I can upload picctures to the internet easily and it works well with facebook. I hardly ever use a normal camera anymore.

My boss is scheduled to visit St. Sophia Cathedral after a ceremony in Kiev.
I visited there three years ago but I didn't remember where it stands in Kiev. Though Alex, my friend showed me to some churches for two days, I didn't remember the names. However, I remember well what kind of church I visited on the first day and on the second day is.
Well, what I saw had a is different shape, decoration and colour from Japan. The green hue of hue of green on the church was very vivid. ---Maybe you could say "The church had a vivid, green hue." But either way is alright :)Good job :)

新しいペットを買いました！
ずーっと妻が 「犬がほしい」って言っていたから、絶対無理だと思っていた。
奥さんが日本人で、僕がニュージーランド人 だから
将来の住む場所とかはまだしっかり決めていない。
来年、まだ日本にいるかわからないから、ペットが無理だと思っていました。
でも、先週奥さんが水槽を買って、小さくてかわいいフグを家に持って来た。こんなに小さいフグを見たことなかった。
外国人でフグを聞くと、すしとか、すごく有毒な魚だとか、を思い出す。
このフグが小さくて泳ぐのが下手だ。
こんな魚がどうやっていままで今まで自然に生きていただろう。
ペットがいて嬉しい。生き物がそばにいるといい気持ちだ。
とりあえず、小さい魚でもすごくいいと思う。
ペットがいるけど、日本で育つのが難しくないのかな？
