In a lot of my notebook corrections I've seen my ”ですから” being changed into "ので" They are both used to connect sentences so I'm not sure why ので is preferable. my understanding of the translations are: xですから, y = because of x, y. While ので ~ xので, y = being the case that x, y. They seem basically the same to me... am I missing something?
How do you figure out what to talk about in your notebook? I've been praticing my Japanese, but when it comes to writting I feel really limited in what I can talk about, without having to look up a lot of words. For example for one of my essays a year ago or so I had the describe the day and life of a cat. Was super hard because I didn't know random words like paw, fur, hunting, mice, or any things like that. Just disjoined words like cat, cute, ears, eyes, and stare at things, ものにじろじろします, for a funny part. Is the answer memorizing these random words and hope that they appear in conversation later so it wasn't just wasted effort?
