  • But, almost the same feel every time!
  • But ... it almost felt just like the same feel every other time. (I feel like the tone of this sentence should be a bit more downtrodden/sad/disappointed, so I took out the exclamation point [!]. I also simplified the sentence by using a 'like' pattern rather than the 'as' pattern, which didn't sound appropriate with the verb 'feel'.)

 

  • Unfortunately, can not come to the scene, only in front of the TV
  • Unfortunately, can not come to the scene, only in front of the TV I could not go see the fireworks myself -- I could only watch them on TV. (I basically agree with minkyleigh's corrections, but I don't think you need to mention 'scene' here -- when we say "see the fireworks," we imply that we see them in person, especially if you add 'myself'.)
