Differences between this and that?
I'm studying Japanese with a book called "Living Language Japanese Essential". It is an excellent book, but I am very confused about something that they failed to explain.
For example, here's what they put in the book:
this これ
that (far away from the speaker but close to the listener) それ
that (far away from both the speaker and the listener) あれ
this pen (close to the speaker) このペン
that pen (far from the speaker but close to the listener) そのペン
that pen (far from both the speaker and the listener) あのペン
My question is, why is the Japanese of this/that used differently when talking about a pen? Is the difference between this/that different when it comes to object? I'm very confused, and would greatly appreciate an explanation. Thank you!

"Today, I cooked some rice and vegetables. I also cooked a boiled egg and drank green tea. It was delicious!"
Thank you for any help, and please explain the words in the sentence if you can. ありがとうごいます！

Has this happened to anyone on italki?
As you may of noticed, it is very common for people to message you on italki asking to talk to you. Even though I specifically have it written on my page that I only want certain speakers to practice with for learning Japanese, I still frequently get speakers of other languages messaging me who don't know the language I want to learn. They request me to teach them English, meanwhile I get nothing in return (obviously this is why I ignore these messages). What I found rather surprising (and creepy), is that if I don't reply, some of these strangers go as far as finding me on Facebook and messaging me to help them! This is completely uncomfortable to me. Has this happened to any of you?

Would this be the correct way to say this sentence in Japanese?
When I'm speaking in Japanese, I would like to ask this sentence when asking for an English word to be translated: 。。。をにほんごでどのようにいいますか (How do you say... in Japanese)。Would this sentence be correct （English word added in since I'm asking for the translation in the question?）: Whyをにほんごでどのようにいいますか (How do you say why in Japanese?)。Would this be the correct way to ask the question, or is it incorrect?

Why is jouzuni (じょうずに) written this way?
I am using a website called www.memrise.com to help me learn Japanese through repeating the same material and remembering it. じょうずに, or jouzuni, confuses me as to why it's spelled that way. How do you know when to combine the correct characters for a word?
