Summary of Come home

Yesterday, I read a book called Come home. The story expresses a conflict between studying and love. The main character, Samorn goes to Brenton College in the US for her dream which is to be a lawyer. However, she’s from Thailand and not very good at English. It’s difficult for her to study Economics in English. That’s why, she wants to go back home to Thailand.

She tells her professor about this problem. The professor asks her to stay just one more week. “Okay” she says. After that, she tells her boyfriend that she’ll be able to go home in a week. He is very happy to hear this. Actually, he misses her.

―Ummm…I’ll skip that part, because it makes the sentence too long.―

During that week, she makes some friends and gradually feels more confident that she can overcome her difficulties. She decides to stay for her dream. However, the decision hurts her boyfriend. Consequently, they break up.

昨日Come homeという本を読んだ。この物語は勉強と恋の葛藤を描いている。主人公のSamornはBrenton大学に弁護士になるという夢のために行った。しかし彼女はタイ出身で、英語が得意では無かった。彼女にとって経済学を英語で勉強するのは難しかった。そういう訳で、彼女は故郷に帰りたかった。

彼女は教授にこのことを伝えた。教授は1週間だけ滞在するように頼んだ。分かったと返事した。その後、1週間後には帰れるということを彼氏に伝えた。彼はそれを聞いてとても嬉しかった。実は彼は彼女が恋しかったのだ。

文章が長くなるので省略します。

その1週間のうちに彼女は友達を作り、また困難を乗り越えれるという自信を徐々に感じる。彼女は夢のために残ることに決める。でもこの決断は彼氏を傷つける。その結果、別れることになる。

Summary of Come hHome

Book titles should be properly capitalised.

Yesterday, I read a book called Come hHome.

The story expresses a conflict between studying and love.

The main character, Samorn, goes to Brenton College in the US for her dream which is to be a lawyer.

In this context, you either use the commas in pairs or don't use them at all: "The main character Samorn goes to..."

However, she’s from Thailand and not very good at English.

It’s difficult for her to study Economics in English.

By the way, if you're referring to the subject in general, "economics" wouldn't be capitalised, but if you're referring to a specific class taught at the university, the capitalisation is okay.

That’s why, she wants to go back home to Thailand.

The placement of the comma might be a little awkward, as it breaks the flow of the sentence. We generally don't put a comma behind "that's why", so I'd recommend removing it.

She tells her professor about this problem.

The professor asks her to stay just one more week.

“Okay,” she says.

Commas are used in this way when writing dialogue.

After that, she tells her boyfriend that she’ll be able to go home in a week.

He is very happy to hear this.

Actually, he misses her.

―Ummm…I’ll skip that part, because it makes the sentence too long.― During that week, she makes some friends and gradually feels more confident that she can overcome her difficulties.

She decides to stay for her dream.

However, the decision hurts her boyfriend.

Consequently, they break up.

Feedback

Grammar-wise, your writing is on point. My comments deal with the more technical aspects of writing, such as punctuation.
