They are korean so I feel more confortable to speak english.
We speak english on skype I found it hard to learn from each other
because we are all korean and not good at English.
We usually talk for 1 to 2 hours a day. in some way, it seems to go well but I think there's no difference with studying by myself.
It's fun to study together and I just hope we could help each other.
If we practice speaking english for a long time like a year then I'm sure that we'll make great progress in English.

-I often wipe my mouth while eating

I can say 'clean' instead of 'wipe'?

are these sentences correct?
what is a natural sentence that you would say in conversation?
can I use 'often' in this sentence?
and if you do not clean your mouth after eating, something is on around your mouth then you feel... uncomfortable? what would you say?
feel dirty?

Do you know what Pepero Day is?
Pepero Day is November 11th. Pepero Day is sort of Valentine Day.
we give Pepero to friends and boyfreind or girfriend someone
who you like and love. Pepero is well known snack in korea.
I think Pepero Day is more common for teenager. There are 3 kinds of Pepero here. Basically, Pepero looks a long thin stick it seems like
short chopsticks and it's covered with chocolate. It's the original but there are a little bit different Pepero. It's called 'Nude Pepero' because the chocolate is in the snack. It looks strange compared to the orininal Pepero so I think Nude Pepero is a naked original one. The last one is called 'Almond Pepero' literally it has little pices of Almond in the chocolate. It's my favorite!
Now I feel like having some Pepero! I'm going to buy all 3 and eat them all myself. ^ㅡ^

I've seen exotic insects around my apartment since last year.Every time I saw it I wondered like 'I haven't seen it before what the hell is this creature?'. I've putted off searching a name of the creature but today I ended up knowing the insect's name is '주홍날개꽃매미(juhonnalgaekotmaemi)' and from china.I think I was fascinated by the hidden beautiful red in brown. actually I really liked these insects. (this sentene is the past form because now I know who they are.)they've damaged the crops since 2006 which means the farmeralso has been damaged their proceeds. they are harmful to human skin as well. I've heard that there's no way to get rid of the insect.I mean there's no agrichemical to prevent them. anyway we shoudl keep away from the insect but the thing that they are so beautiful creatures is true.

(I wrote it in english again to study english. so I hope somebody helps me to correct wrong sentences.)

It's getting hotter here korea. Summer brings sizzling heat which makes me to just keep at home but I want to go to the beach soon.
It's Sunday so I have time to study english. yesterday I talked to an Australian friend. I think Australian english sounds good, very attractive. I got an intersting fact while I was talking to him. He said most american people are not able(can't?) to understand Australian english well because American people do not see Australian moives and tv programs often. so they are not used to Australian accent. he said but he can understand American english because he has watched lots of american movies and tv programs.
By the way, I have a question.
"The usa has a great influence on the cultures of
other countries."
Is this sentence correct?

I think It's certainly better to marry later in life.
If you get married early, you probably wouldn't have enough time to
do what you want, go where you want and most of all to discover who you are. so I think it's good for you to do a lot of things that
you would want to do while you're young.
After that, you would be able to imagine better that
who's going to live with you for the rest of your life.
"Know yourself" it comes first for me.

결혼하기 가장 좋은 시기

저는 확실히 늦게 결혼을 하는 것이 낫다고 생각해요.
만약에 당신이 일찍 결혼을 한다면, 하고 싶은 것을 하거나
가고 싶은 곳에 가거나 무엇보다 자신이 누구인지 발견할 시간이 충분하지 않을지도 몰라요.
그래서 저는 당신이 젊을 때 당신이 하고 싶은 것을 많이 하는 것이 당신에게 좋다고 생각해요.
그런 다음에, 누가 당신과 함께 여생을 보낼지
더 잘 상상할 수 있을 거에요.
"네 자신을 알라" 저한테는 그게 먼저에요.

[correction]
How much sleep do you get every night?

I think I probably get about eight or nine hours of sleep because I don't go to school, which means that I don't havet to get up early. I go to work at around 3 pm, so I have enough time to sleep as much as I want to. but when I was a middle school student, I had only 5 hours of sleep; I studied very hard back then.

This is a reading part of TOEFL that I'm studying.

[With Robert Laurent and William Zorach, direct carving enters into the story of modern sculpture in the United States. Direct carving ― in which the sculptors themselves carve stone or wood with mallet and chisel ― must be recognized as Line something more than just a technique. Implicit in it is an aesthetic principle as well :
(5)that the medium has certain qualities of beauty and expressiveness with which sculptors must bring their own aesthetic sensibilities into harmony. For example, sometimes the shape or veining in a piece of stone or wood suggests, perhaps even dictates, not only the ultimate form, but even the subject matter.]

well, I read it in korean too but laughingly It was also hard. I guess that's because that I don't know about the subject at all...
Nothing is easy...?

I got a bicycle as a gift from my mom's friend.

It's the first time for me to have my own bicycle.

Its color is orange and white.

It probably seems a bit childish but I like it.

This bicycle is women only so I think it's smaller than others.

It has a pretty basket in brown. I especially like the basket!

I went out to rid the bicycle.

It was really interesting!
