If I was or if I were

Hello everyone, 

Tell me if I'm right: we use If I were only for clauses which are impossible to happen. For example "If I were a boy, I would ...". ( I am a woman)

In the case I want to state something that is unlikely but still possible/ not impossible, for example : If I was a judge, I would sentence her to community service. (in this case, this is not my job) 

Is this sentence above ( If I was a judge, I would sentence her to community service.) is correct or should I write If I were?

Thank you for your help.

how do you say ... one thing I know, one thing is sure ? I want to say "une chose est sûre". Does  "one thing I know" or "one thing is sure" sounds natural?

she photographs or she photographes ? Hello everyone, simple question do we add only s or es ? I know it is es for those verbs : he passes, she catches, he fixes, it pushes but I don't know for verbs ending by ph.

Description of a video about hony, thank you for helping me :-) I'm trying to improve my writing by commenting a video. It would be so lovely to correct it. The scenery must take place in New York because the video's title is « humans of New York ». Besides, the video is a portrait of a man saying he came to New York in order to take pictures. We can see different streets of New York and also a park. It may be Central Park because the park looks 'quite big '. The action may take place during the XXIst Century because clothes are modern and the photographer's camera as well. It is the portrait of Brandon Stanton, from Chicago who lost his job. He decided to move in New York in order to follow his passion by taking picture of hundreds of people in the street. He must be a sociable person because we can see in the video he is talkative and friendly toward strangers. In the beginning of the video, he approached a man talking to him nicely with a friendly high pitch voice « Sir, anyway I can take your photo ? I am a popular street reporter and you look great. » Later, we can see Brandon engaging conversation with other people, laughing, smiling and looking genuinely interested by asking questions to theme. He does not look afraid to get rejected by people when he asks to take their picture in the street. What is being photographed is a variety of people chosen randomly by the photographer. We can see Brandon taking pictures of a young girl around 4 years old making bubbles soap in a street of New-York, three teenagers chilling in a greenery scenery. He also takes picture of a young woman with creative handmade earrings, a middle aged man probably working. The photographer explains he had no plan and he just wanted to take photos. He collected a lot of pictures and decided to create a blog. He said he wants to take picture of what makes him happy and celebrating normal people on the stage. It might be because he wants to show that beauty of New York lies in the diversity of its inhabitants and emphasizes the beauty of daily life.

Practicing kanoe kayak Hello to you who takes time to read my notebook entry! I did kayak once in my countryside. I waited a long time because I am not really a sporty person. I like individual sports because I am not good at collective sports with balls. I love nature, doing simple trekking and swimming. When I am thinking about it, kayaking looks like logical because it brings most of what I like from other sports; contemplating nature, calming my nerves and related to water. I also like yoga and practice it every morning because it is so relaxing and calming. I am not living in my birthplace. In fact, I am living in another country: the UK. I am living in a seaside resort area. However, I will do river kayaking not sea kayaking. I want to try but first I want to kayak down a river. I love changeS of landscapes at each watershed. The river I'll ride is really calm. I might try roughER when I acquire more experiences. Thank you for taking time to correct it. :-)

Learning Japanese resources for free on internet (English, French, Spanish)

Hello everyone,

I learnt Japanese few years ago for a couple of year. I don't have my Japanese books with me at the moment and I want to learn japanese again because I'll go to Japan for a year in few months.

Do you have any podcasts, websites, youtube channel to advise me?

It would be life saving!

Writing from a picture :-) Hello! I did not know what to write and just write on the spur of the moment while listening a song (Kouya wo aruke by Asian Kung Fu Generation.) I attached to this entry a picture from the video clip. Don't hesitate to change sentences if you find a better way to say it. Thank you for your help in advance. It's highly appreciated. :-) Wandering in a back alley, the young lady of 20 years old put her headphone, listening to her favourite rock band, isolated from the world. Still, she could feel the air ruffling her bare arms and face. She closed her eyes, smiling, enjoying the blissful joy of the moment. She could imagine the oak leaves rustled in one of the garden while listening the bass pounding on her temples. She was in her inner world and can fully create and detail the real beauty : perceptions, feelings. It is neither real, nor unreal, just amplified perceptions from dull reality combined to the melodic voice of her favourite band. She could not understand the lyrics but it was even more wonderful. She could imagine it, adjust it to her mood and environment. It was the best way to feel immersed in a delightful daydreaming. She reached the end of the back alley, light was so bright in the perpendicualr street, She took a sharp left, put her hood on her head hiding her raven sleek hair and allowing her to avoid eyes contact with pedestrians. Shop fronts create a cozy atmosphere by adding touch of lights between blinding street lamps. She walked a few miles before finding the right spot; a kindergarden park was on the corner and a ramp was just at the corner. She could observe people walking, the cozy light coming from shops and also dark trees' ballet following wind music. She leaned on the ramp, inhales deeply and finally exhales with a content smile on her face. If someone who reads it feel like giving me a picture to describe, that would be great! I want to try to expand on description and details. We could also try to do a challenge: I can write in English and someone can write it either in English or in French. :-)
