In Japan, it has been believed since ancient times that spirits reside in all things in the universe, and that there is one and only God who does not judge humans; rather, it was believed that spirits reside in everything such as mountains, seas, rivers, animals, plants, even objects such as toilets and protect people.

A few days ago, I went to fortune-telling for the first time in my life with my friend. I did not trust it when I saw it on TV. However, when I actually went there, it was amazing that most of them were right. After that, we drank milk tea. It was a very delicious and good day.

Hello! I had a presentation today. I was very nervous and could not do well. Also, I had a hard time today because my stomach hurt several times. I have two assignments that I need to get done by today, so I'm going to try my best while watching anime. What is your favorite anime?

I made a presentation in English today. I was so nervous, and I forgot the script I had been thinking about several times. It's so frustrating. In this class, I gave a presentation about the country I would like to visit someday. I summarized Venice in Italy. It's a water city and it's very beautiful. But one day it sinks. Before that, I want to go there.

Hi everyone!! :) I see lots of posts from teachers but I don't see many questions from the users on italki .. Is it not the done thing there ? or is there another more appropriate page or hashtag to do it? My actual question: Is there an equivalent english IDIOM to the french expression: "ne pas sentir quelqu'un" when it means "to not trust somebody" because we think they are deceitful or we think that the other person has hidden bad intentions? Example n°1: He swore he was telling the truth, that he was on my side, but I have a bad feeling, "Je ne le sens pas". Example n°2: "Have you seen the new girl? "Je ne la sens pas" : She seems nice at first sight but I think she's a B***behind your back "

This Saturday, my university will have a school festival. I am a member of a dance club, and I will perform on stage at the festival. I’m really excited but also a little nervous. I’m going to dance in three different styles: lock, house, and emotional dance. None of these are my main style, so they are a bit difficult for me. But I’m trying my best every time in practice. Our team has been practicing a lot, and everyone is working very hard to make the show great. Today, I have practice for the lock performance. It’s a very powerful and energetic dance style, so it needs a lot of control and rhythm. I want to make my movements sharp and full of energy. The festival is only a few days away, so I’m doing my best until the last moment. On the day of the performance, I want to dance with confidence and enjoy every second on stage.
