Great work, your writing is very clear and comprehensible and there is only one thing i would correct, which is a very notable error. “Japanese people write their wishes on a piece of paper and hang THEM ON bamboo trees.” In English, when we have Phrasal verbs that use a locative—words like: “on, off, in, out” we must follow the same rules we would for any other locative adverbs like: “under, in front of, behind, etc.” These locatives no longer refer (only) to the action since it is a Phrasal verb, but ALSO to an ACTUAL location—where? ON a specific object. UNDER a specific object. Etc. Let’s look at examples: Put on: If we do not actually say which body part, or “our body,” we can just say “put on” without separating it. “I put on my clothes.” If we say WHERE: “I put CLOTHES ON my body.” I put A HAT ON my head. Take off: Following the rule above, we follow the same logic. “I take off my clothes.” “I took MY HAT OFF my head.” “I took MY CLOTHES OFF my body.” Write on: You used “write on” correctly, maybe because a Phrasal verb does not exist, but the same rule is obeyed! “They write WISHES ON a piece of paper.” AND NOT “They write on a piece of paper WISHES.” XXX Put in: This rule is always the same, if there is an object AND a location, it remains unchanged. “Put THE MILK IN the fridge.” Take out: “Take THE MILK OUT OF the fridge.” The same rule applies even if we use pronouns: I put IT ON my head. I took IT OFF my head. I wrote IT ON a piece of paper. I put IT IN the fridge. I took IT OUT of the fridge.
