Do you know ABCGame? ABCGame is the DEFCountry version of chess. The biggest difference from chess is that when pieces are captured they can be re-entered on the board COPIED . I think that point is fun, so I want to tell you how to play Shogi. The game is played on a board, and each player has pieces of nine Pawns, two Lances, two Knights, two Silver Generals, two Gold Generals, one Bishop, one Rook, and one King. First of all, set up to all pieces on a board. Second, decide the first and second attack, so usually challenger is first attacker. Then, player take tunes to move a piece that belongs to them. Each Piece is moved different rules, but no two pieces can occupy the same square. Lastly, who capture the opposing player’s King that called “checkmate” is winner. However, I never win to my brother. I’m still challenging.
Having a happy family is everyone’s wish. Having a happy family depends on us. We do not need to do extraordinary things to have a happy family. There are a few points that help us to be a happy family. First, I need to think and act more and do the best VAGUE, MEANING? RW EXPLAIN MORE Determine the purpose for our family life. Show our feeling together in different ways. Tell them that you love them. We surprise them sometimes. Try to plan for family games and group picnics. Play music and dance or do workouts together. Treat my family like my close friend. Finally in my opinion, the most important thing that makes a family happy is feeling safe and peaceful/ safety and peace.
safe and peaceful - adj
safety and peace- noun
pronoun is shifting from ‘I’ to ‘we’ to ‘you’ - that is confusing
If you switch pronouns, you should signal the switch.
e.g You can plan game nights for your family. For my family, we play cards a few times a month.
I decided to have a healthy life. I eat fresh vegetable and organic food. I try to think about positive things and do meditation everyday. For doing meditation, first sit in a quiet place and close your eyes. After that, try to not think about anything or listen to surrounding voices. Do exercise three times a week in a gym or outside on the beach. Read a book. Being with family and speaking and playing some sports with them are very good choices. Try to be in the moment. I try to do all of these although I know that it is very hard.
Good ideas. Well organized.
Sentences need to be better.
