I bought the textbooks for classes. But this is so high price. For example, a English textbook is more than 3500 yen. I'm disappointed. Moreover, These textbooks are use only half a year. I feel sad because I'm a student and don't have enough money. So, I bought used textbooks. These are so cheap. I don't mind a little stains and scratches. If there weren’t any used ones, I bought new two textbooks. In total is 6000 yen. I'm so surprised. I want to earn the money for my textbooks with a part-time job. The packages will arrive next week. I think I can make it to class on time.

I can't believe that I have been shopping online for over 20 years. I still remember the first time I bought items online. It was a real big discount. The same clothes sold online was much cheaper than in a bricks and mortar. Later, more and more essentials could be bought online. Finally besides having a haircut, almost everything can be done online. In that case, we often buy some items on impulse. Some of them are covered with dust since they arrived our homes. So, after experiencing repaying credit cards every month which caused I had a tight budget next month. I decide to leave the items stay in the shopping cart for a few days each time when I shop online. Maybe some stores will send me an email with a discount to get me to complete my purchase，but I usually refuse them. I also make a budget for my online shopping to give myself a spending limit. Even so, I still spend a lot on shopping online every month.

Learning English: A Door to the World English is a global language that connects people from different countries and cultures. Learning English helps you communicate with others and understand the world better. One big advantage of learning English is communication. English allows you to talk with people from different places, both in person and online. It is often used on social media, in video games, and in international communities. English also helps you grow personally. When you learn a new language, you improve your memory, confidence, and problem-solving skills. Speaking English can make you feel more comfortable in new situations. Another reason to learn English is access to information. Many websites, books, and videos are in English. When you understand English, you can learn new skills, follow the news, and explore topics you enjoy. Learning English does not have to be difficult. Practicing a little every day makes a big difference. Reading, listening, speaking, and writing in English will help you improve step by step. In summary, learning English is more than learning words—it is learning how to connect with the world. With practice and patience, anyone can learn English.

Present Perfect Continuous vs. Present Perfect Many students get confused when to use Present Perfect Continuous and how it is different from Present Perfect. Let’s make it clear. Present Perfect Continuous (have/has been + verb-ing) We use it to emphasize the duration of an activity that started in the past and is still continuing now, or has recently stopped but has visible results. Example: I have been studying English for two hours. (focus on how long) Example: She is tired because she has been running. (visible result) Present Perfect (have/has + past participle) We use it to talk about completed actions connected to the present, or about life experiences. Example: I have studied English for two years. (focus on the fact, not the duration) Example: I have visited London twice. (life experience) Key difference: Present Perfect Continuous = focus on the activity itself and its duration/process. Present Perfect = focus on the result or the fact that something happened. Tip: If you want to highlight how long or show the ongoing process, use Present Perfect Continuous. If you want to highlight what has been done, use Present Perfect.
