There are many chinese words in korean and japanese.
For instance, tofu is stem from chinese. Tofu is made from soybeans and it is popular in vegitarians these days. Chinese say it "Dofu", korean say it "Dobu" and japanese say it "Toho".
Now american say it "tofu".
Thank you Jennifer! I like how you chose a "borrowed word" that is borrowed by not only one language, but by many languages. It is great how you presented an idea, and then gave examples by starting with the phrase "for instance". This is a common way of writing about a topic in English.
Here are some corrections to keep in mind:
-In English, we capitalize the first letter of languages and nationalities (e.g. Korean instead of korean, Japanese instead of japanese)
-"to stem from" is an excellent way to describe where a word originated, but make sure to pay attention to the tense. In this case, you would want to use the past-tense, "stemmed from" instead of "stem from".
-"Popular with" instead of "popular in"
-Spelling- "vegetarian" instead of "vegitarian"
-Watch out for plurals, you were correct that Japanese and Chinese are the same in plural form, but remember when plural, it is "koreans" instead of "korean"
Nice job on your first hand-in writing assignment!! I like how you started out simple, but well written. I think you will be a great writer in English very soon!
