  • I have wanted to gain my mother's understanding.

    English is generally a bit more descriptive. You should describe what you are trying to gain. Understanding about life etc. It is also more typical to use knowledge, eg; I want to gain my mother's knowledge of cooking.

 
  • My son's desk is always messy, as a matter of fact he has lost his USB memory again.

Thank you! Krysinello.
Yes, Japanese is less descriptive.
I often forget articles, and often omit the information I have to write.

I have to improve it. (>_<)
