Beyonce again!
Good evening everyone,
First of all, I am so sorry that I could not reply to you in the past weekend. I was busy organizing birthday & farewell party for my friend, going for dance, and having reunion dinner with friends. It was really fun but I was so tired in the Monday morning :-( I will be very careful not to blink my eyes when I'm working!
Amy, thank you so much for all the kind answers. I would like to reply you about the word 'distribute'. I wanted to disbribe the girl, wearing maid clothes, trying to pass the ads of her maid cafe. That's why she was reaching her hands to someone. Should I say ' She tries to give a piece of advertisement of her cafe.' ? Or can I use other verbs, which could express this 'move' with one word??
One more thing, I would like to ask one thing about beyonce lylics. I would appreciate it if you kindly answer to me.

Yes, Beyonce comes again in my mind, bringing good & interesting question from Sevinc from Turkey. Thanks Sevinc, I realized my mistake (or maybe her mistake?) of English.
On the Friday blog, I said ' Now I'm done for this week! '. And Sevinc ( sorry, actually i'm not sure if you are guy or girl! could you please let me know?) told wrote the comment and asked why I was using 'am in this sentence.
'I am done' is passive sentence so it should not work.
I learnt this expression from the song 'Listen' and Beyonce sang the lyric as follows : 'Now I'm done believeing you'.
At first I thought 'I've done beliebing you', but the lyric showed 'I'm done'. I listened to the music, and heard she was singing ' I'm'.
Now I think 'I'm done ' should be replaced by 'I've done'. !!!!!
Back to what I did tonight....
Today I booked a flight to Korea for holiday!!! whooooooo! It's been a year since the last time I got out of my motherland, Japan just for holiday! I once flew for my job, but it was never ever fun at all, because I had to work even if(*1) I was in a foreign city and sightseeing tempted me so much during my work!!!! haha! Anyway, it was first time for me to book a flight using with my flyer miles. It was so convenient to book so I was positively surprised! well,,, I wish I became really rich somday and flew everywhere using with my flyer miles, which I got from shopping. --- This sounds like shoppaholic or some advertisements! Obviously I should NOT do!
Asterisk:
(*1) : Should I avoid 'if' in that sentense? Because I actually did this thing so it was not the right situation to use 'if'.
Could you do me a favor, Amy? Please teach me to use 'even' in a samrt way, if we have chance.

Hi Yumi, I'am a woman. Yumi Turkish my native language; Unlike English, French or German, there are no grammatical genders. The pronouns “he,” “she,” and “it” are all the same. and her, his, its are all the same too. I wanted to inform you and the others about may language. I would like to know, in modern English, whether they have been using grammatical genders (like the prounouns, she, he, it ext.)) or sorting !... I would like to want all of the languages being sorted out the grammatical genders. your question is related to this sentence; ...this 'move' with one word??" we could express best the verb "hand out" "She tries to give a piece of advertisement of her cafe.'? "she was handing out the leaflets of her cafe." in my opinion, this sentence is better than the previous one, isn't it!... love sevinc
Dear Yumi, Good evening, It is really nice to see photographs you send on 17th August. You asked Amy about word distribute is correct or not? It is correct and I have read so many sentence using word distribute if some one is giving flyers, leaflets, free magazine etc. You are really enthusiastic about you holiday outside your country. You wrote “I wish I became really rich somday….” in my opinion you should write “---- one day—“. In my opinion you are able to express yourself properly without distorting its meaning. For the communication purpose it is enough but we should put our best effort while doing translation or report writing. Language used in song may not be suitable in writing, that is just expression or writer and singer and make it noticeable to listener.
Hello Amy! Wow! It´s good to know you´re going to travel to Korea on your holidays. I hope you have lots of fun :-). Best wishes, Ana Paula.
Hello Yumi!!!!! Another week has come and, you are giving me a wonderful time with your blog. I wish you the better holidays. Bye for now
There are some place I dont agree with you as follows: 1,"busy organizing" may be "busy with organizing" 2,"Thanks Sevinc" may be "Thank ..." 3," I got out of my motherland" may be " I went abroad" 4,"foreign city" may be "foreignal city" I write it "may be " for I am not very sure about it. Expecting your reply
Hello Yumi. How are you today? I hope you are fine. Excuse me to interfere about the use of " be done". In my opinion, although I'm not a teacher, your sentence "now I'm done for this week" may be correct unless out teacher says the contrary. What do you think Amy? According to Oxford dictionary " be done" in this context means finished, completed. An example like yours is given and here it is:" When you're done, perhaps I can say something". However, you can use "have done" if you make your sentence like this: "Now I have done with this week." Here after an example sentence I found in the same dictionary: " Let's spend another half an hour painting and have done with it." Kind regards.
u are very beautiful,i love ya.please reply.
