Want to submit to a networking site

   Dear All,
   Wrote an article on "Life lessons from Japanese dramas". I wanted this to be considered for a networking site. Got feedback asking me to make it better. One of the feedbacks was that there were too many lines in Italics.
   But they are Japanese dialogues which needed to be put in Italics. I don't want to remove them. Any suggestions on how I can make this article better? I am a little lost here. Thank a lot.

      I can understand your mindset in the question                                   You're trying best to clearly put a separating line between the English and Japan codes. But on HubPages, italizing even if it were in latin is not allowed.                                       The better thing you can do I think is to copy the original and paste it beside or alongside the English rendering. Hope it helps.

         No. All she needs to do is make use of the quote function.
         
         And of course, italics are allowed. They just need to be used appropriately.
         
         Please don't offer incorrect advice, Miebakagh, check first.

            Thank you for the link. I'm yet to see the use of italizing.                                  Thanks also for the advise. I'll go through the link again later. A very goodmorning to you, Bev.

   Put the dialogue into quotes. Highlight the text and click the quote button on the toolbar. Always add the source.
   
   Make sure that your own text is much greater quantity-wise than the quotes.
   
   Good luck.
   
   Edit. The article finishes abruptly. Maybe add a concluding paragraph?

   Your article is interesting. I think you should reduce its bold print, though. The bold print under your first photo could be removed, for example.
   
   In addition, your poll doesn't allow people to vote for all of the dramas or none of them. You might also want to read the text again and check for unnecessary commas and capitalization.

      Thanks a lot for your time. I still have a few more days to resubmit. Will check again - especially for unnecessary commas:-)

   Hi. I dont know if this is good advice but I think you should put images or videos to identify the drama you featured in your article, and dont just put the Japanese title but its English title as well.

   I am familiar with some of the dramas you mentioned but couldn't remember exactly what they are cause they're in Japanese and did not have any pictures or videos to identify them.
