A new person comes to a toki pona site.

New person (NP):
Hello, toki pona people! Yesterday I learned toki pona. toki pona is a good language for me. I want to write things in toki pona for this site and, if I make mistakes, I want you to correct my stuff.

Someone in the group:
Welcome to toki pona! What is your name? I am sure that, if you write on this site and make mistakes, the members will correct your errors.

NP:
Great! I am Whatsis and from Erewhon. I want to translate "War and Peace" I have sorta finished translating the first chapter.

Another group member:
That's a big book. Maybe you should start translating an easy book. But I like any translations.

NP:
Thanks! I like toki pona, so I want to do something great for the language. Plus, I have created this writing system, which is perfect for toki pona because it has a single symbol for each word plus a single symbol for each syllable.

Some group member:
But the Latin alphabet is perfect for toki pona. Another system may be pretty but it is hard to learn at the same time as the language.

NP:
Not so! My writing system has improved my learning toki pona. Moreover, I think that I want to translate the Dao De Jing. I hear that toki pona comes from it.

Some member:
Nobody completely understands how toki pona come from the Dao De Jing.

NP:
However, just "The travelled path is not the path; the designating word is not the word"

Member:
Nice! Now you are no longer a new person.

Hi John!

In "Someone in the group phrase" is missing the question "Where are you from?"
