Hello guys! I don't think it's worth posting a question on StackExchange, so I'll just quickly ask if this sentence seems correct to you or not:
'That he wants to leave is a mystery even to me.'
Should 'that' be replaced with 'if'?
Thanks.

What about this sentence [I am scared]: 'Who would’ve thought that a chocolate bonbonnière could be determinative in one’s life?'

If you ask what a bonbonnière is, I would say a presentable chocolate box for a specific occasion. Is there a more (...) term for this?

I will surely take note of your suggestions. However, it's interesting how you 'feel' if a word fits somewhere or not. (I want that skill)

Are quotations a good source for this?

Isn't it too simple? I mean I certainly don't want to overcomplicate or be pretentious, but it needs to be admission-essay-like. When I read other essays that have worked, I see that they've used many flowery words.

The thing is we got a chocolate box. There was a classical CD inside. I was a hyperactive child. Only the tracks from that CD could calm me down. I grew up loving classical music, and eventually became a very self-contained, shy, and courteous. But until I was 9, I didn't consider playing the violin....

What I'm trying to say is: I grew up by listening to classical music, but I never thought of playing the violin. My mum suggested it because she'd learnt that it could enhance my creativity
