Since watching the movie, I have been listening to Michael Jackson’s songs and the Jackson 5’s music almost every day. Their songs are amazing, and I really enjoy them. The weather is expected to be bad all week, so I want to stay at home, relax, and enjoy listening to music.

My hamster’s favorite food is yogurt. She likes it. I give it to her a few times a week. When I give it, I get the feeling that she is happy. Also she likes vegetables and fruits too. Especially she likes broccoli and apples so I often give her. I like seeing her eat because she is so cute!!

I woke up early today because I was going to have lunch in Futako-Tamagawa with my mom and my grandmother. I had egg bread and drank orange juice for breakfast. After that, I had two classes, so l went to school. Today's weather is rainy, so I teel very sleepy, but I will do my best and study hard today.

Today, I woke up at 10 a.m. and went to school to attend my classes. I had missed my Russian class before, so the lesson felt more difficult than usual, and I became a little worried. After school, I went home and took a nap. When I woke up, I met up with my friends and spent time with them.

Grammar Challenge: Present Perfect vs. Past Simple! 🧠✨ Can you spot the correct sentence in our latest challenge? Let’s break down the rules so you never get confused between these two tenses again! 1. The Golden Rule 🌟 The biggest difference between Past Simple and Present Perfect comes down to one thing: TIME. Past Simple = Finished Time. The action happened in the past, and that time period is completely over. Present Perfect = Unfinished Time. The action happened in the past, but the time period or the connection to the present is still alive. 2. Look for the “Time Markers” 🔎 Your best clues are the time words used in a sentence. Use Past Simple with FINISHED time words: Yesterday, last week, in 2024, 2 hours ago, when I was a child. ❌ Incorrect: I have seen him yesterday. ✅ Correct: I saw him yesterday. Use Present Perfect with UNFINISHED time words: Today, this week, this month, recently, ever, never, so far. ❌ Incorrect: I went to the gym three times this week. (If the week isn’t finished yet!) ✅ Correct: I have been to the gym three times this week. 3. Experience vs. Specific Details ✈️ Use Present Perfect to talk about a general life experience (when exactly it happened doesn’t matter). “I have visited Paris.” (In my life, I have this experience). Use Past Simple the moment you give specific details about when or where. “I visited Paris in 2022.” 🚨 THE ANSWER REVEAL 🚨 The correct textbook answer is: Option 2: “I went hiking yesterday.” Why is this the correct choice? Because of the word “yesterday.” Since “yesterday” is a 100% finished time period, you are required to use the Past Simple (⁠went⁠). 💬 How did you do? Did you guess Option 2 right away?

Today, the weather was bad all day. It was cloudy and rainy, which made me feel a little tired. Even though the weather was not good, I went to school and attended my classes as usual. I listened to the teachers and studied hard during the lessons. After school, I went home and relaxed. The weather was unpleasant, but I was happy that I completed my classes and had a productive day.

Today, after class, I went to the gym with a friend. My friend knows a lot about weight training and taught me all sorts of things. I had a really rewarding time. Afterward, we went out to eat together and talked about all kinds of things. It was a lot of fun.
