Question about English (US)
I usually pick out topics for my Hinative posts from the day's TV news stories or the news papers' articles. Eight out of ten cases, I end up with sad or gloomy themes. I wish those mass media would shed more light on the brighter side of the world, and carry more happy and encouraging stories. Does this sound natural?
