Thanks for all your comments. As I thought, this was an easy topic for most of you to comment on! I was thinking the other day that if I added up the cost of all the things I have bought in my life that I didn’t need or never really used, it would be a scary amount of money. I guess that is one of the worst things about our modern society – wastefulness. <\/p>\n

Anyway, here is some feedback on your comments:<\/p>\n

This is my first time to comment your blog.
\nThis is my first comment on your blog. (A-Z: first time)

\nI go to a bookstore 3 or 4 times in a week.

\n<\/strong>
\nI never mind to throw old books away or sell them to secondhand bookstores like BOOK OFF.
\nI never hesitate to …
\n<\/strong>
\nFor example, the other day I was thinkng about if I had a bit elegant pumps for my son\u2019s kindergarten entrance ceremony in my shoes collection.
\nFor example, the other day I was wondering whether I had any smart pumps in my shoe collection that I could wear for my son’s kindergarten entrance ceremony.

\n… but unfortunately they are far away from my taste(this is a secret!).
\n… but unfortunately, they are not my taste at all. (This is a secret!)
\n<\/strong>
\nI love buying things during the bargain season!

\n<\/strong>
\nSame here!
\nThis is a nice expression. Learn it if you don’t know it.
\n<\/strong>
\nThis has nothing to do with the topic, but I found that it\u2019s almost one year since I joined this blog.
\nCongratulations on your anniversary, and thanks for all your contributions.
\n<\/strong>
\nI\u2019m always interested in selling unworn clothes, but I\u2019ve never done that.
\nI’ve always been interested in selling unworn clothes, but I’ve never tried it.

\nHe doesn\u2019t dirt his clothes as much as other boys do.
\nHe doesn’t mess up his clothes as much as other boys do.
\nOR
\nHe doesn’t get his clothes as dirty as other boys do.
\n<\/strong>
\nI\u2019m interested in your \u201cunread books\u201d rather than unworn cloths!
\nI’m more interested in your unread books than your unworn clothes!
\n<\/strong>
\nAs you say, trying to get money from what you don\u2019t need is often troublesome.
\n“Troublesome” is not wrong, but it’s not a common word. I’d suggest “… is more trouble than it’s worth.”
\n<\/strong>
\nI\u2019ve met the same case, too.
\nThe same thing happened to me.
\n<\/strong>
\nI wonder how many comments have you wrote so far?
\nI wonder how many comments you have written so far.
\n<\/strong>
\nI only throw old clothes away when they are worn out.
\nNice sentence.
\n<\/strong>
\nI also didn\u2019t go
\nI didn’t go either (A-Z: negative sentence word order)
\n<\/strong>
\n> I don\u2019t think that is nothing new
\nI don\u2019t think that is SOMETHING new
\n“I don’t think that is anything<\/em> new” would be more natural.
\n<\/strong>
\nIf so, I often feel the same, too, because young girls seem to be much bolder or more active than boys.
\nI agree! I hate teaching classes that are all or mostly boys. Generally speaking, girls are much easier to teach.
\n<\/strong>
\nBy the way, I heard that \u201cthe April-starting society\u201d is very unique.\u00a0
\nAs you probably know, Todai are thinking of changing to the Western system. That might be a good topic for another week.
\n<\/strong>
\nI don\u2019t purchase clothes on impulse to cheer me up when I\u2019m down in the month.
\nI guess this is a typo, but I wouldn’t use “down in the mouth” anyway. It’s more natural to say, “when I’m feeling down.”
\n<\/strong>
\nBy the way, this is nothing to do with this week\u2019s topic, but I wonder if there are some people who find difficult to pronounce a word \u201cclothes.\u201d
\nHi Anne, nice to see your comment again. I hope you are feeling better. Very few Japanese people can pronounce the word “clothes” correctly. I usually advise people to say “close” with the verb pronunciation. It’s almost the same, and it’s much better than what most Japanese people say when they try to pronounce “clothes.”
\n<\/strong>
\nI think female and male student\u2019s English abilities are not so different,
\nI think it is generally accepted that women tend to be better at language learning than men. They also tend to be better at expressing themselves in their own language. I read an interesting article about this once. It said something like, “when you watch children playing, you will notice how active the boys are and how the girls tend to sit around doing nothing. But the girls are not doing nothing – they are talking.” The point of the article was that girls learn how to express themselves and communicate with others from a very young age, whereas boys are so focussed on competing and showing off that they don’t have time to learn these skills.
\n<\/strong>
\nI think that makes them more difficult than girls to try other things
\nI think it makes it more difficult for them to try other things.
\n<\/strong>
\nit\u2019s a shame because I seldom wear them.
\n“Seldom” is not wrong, but it sounds a bit unnatural. We would normally say “hardly ever.”
\n<\/strong>
\nThat’s it for today. Have a great weekend, and let me know if you have any questions about the feedback.<\/p>\n
