Hello!


1. They are not ashamed to be flunking school.
This is okay!
2. There is nothing to be ashamed of flanking school.
This is not quite right.

3. Flunking school is nothing to be ashamed of.
This is okay!

I am doing well, thank you for asking! It's a pretty day in Seattle, and I am going to go out and enjoy a good walk.

Learning English isn't easy, but you did a great job with your examples. Keep up the good work!

I hope you are doing well, too!

Dear Suzanne

I am so jealous that you live in Seattle.
Trains are packed like sardine in Tokyo and there is no place to enjoy walking in my neighborhood.
I just came back from work, drank a can of beer, and going to bed.
Have a good day!
