Hi, Everyone. I'm going to take a break from May 8-15, 2024. [U.S. time] I'll see everyone when I get back on May 16th. Keep writing and enjoy your week!
Hobbies/Travel
My favorite country has to be the United States. Outside of a few visits to Canada many years ago, I am still visiting as many states in the United States as I can. The U.S. has a full spectrum of climates and environments; perfect for someone who wants to enjoy the different facets of the U.S. I am the architect of my life; therefore, my hobbies and interests are as varied as the words in the English language. First and foremost, my love for this planet and everyone and everything on it is my priority. I live with several companion animals, and I learn from my furry teachers every day. I have a working organic garden, and there has never been a chemical used on my property. The earth provides everything I need to grow beautiful flowers, healthy vegetables, and potent herbs. Reading isn't a hobby, it's a way of life. I research and investigate everything I need and want to know. As for other pastimes, I enjoy different types of weaving and have made my own rugs, blankets, clothes, curtains, and anything else I want to make. I am interested in just about everything, and I have taken these interests and expanded my perspective about life and all subjects great and small.
Message from the instructor
I enjoy teaching others the skills that I already possess, but in order to do that, I like to begin with the basics. To have a working knowledge of English, it's important to understand the basic framework of the language. After the basics, then the sky is the limit for learning all the nuances of the English language. I have superior knowledge of both formal and informal English, and I feel comfortable with all facets of the language. As a young person, I was lucky enough to study Latin for five years. Since Latin forms the basis for a large percentage of the English language, it enables me to understand root words and medical terminology with ease. The English language is filled with expressive words. The larger one's vocabulary, the better one can communicate ideas with precision. Reading, writing and speaking go hand in hand to become fluent in the English language.

    Dear Maryanne san Regarding book's titles, I'm surprised to see that there are so many complex rules of capitalizing. I see, at least, the first word and the last word are always capitalized. ------ "A "that" clause makes the sentence sound more natural." =I see, A "that close" contains no surprise, no emphasis. ------- "To work outside of the home" is a understandable phrase. I love it. ---------- "an adjective or multiple adjectives before a noun will make a noun specific." =I see. Speaking of"specific", here comes an article "the ", which makes us always puzzled which article to be chosen. " "For" can indicate the person that something is sent or given to or --" =The comparison "of" to "for " is so an interesting study that I will look it up in the dictionary later. "There is an implied sense that if you look for other books by him that you will also read those books." =In general, the Japanese are good at understanding implication. We have been long said not to say directly our feelings, because we are shy and preserved. Therefore I can understand this implication. I prefer "look for." Best regards,
