Announcements
I am available every day, and I usually respond within 24 hours.
Hobbies/Travel
I enjoy reading (especially Harry Potter and Haruki Murakami), writing (fiction as well as academic papers), playing piano, playing video games (especially Japanese RPGs), and studying the Japanese language. My favorite country that I have visited is Japan! There are so many amazing things to see in your country!
Message from the instructor
I will be happy to help you produce clear, accurate English compositions while giving you additional information on how English works. I appreciate how difficult it must be for Japanese speakers to learn English, and so I will try my best to help you learn the language's complexities. I pay very close attention to details. In particular, I am sensitive to small nuances in meaning. I have studied some Japanese (although I am still a beginner), so I have an idea how different the two languages are. As a result, I can sometimes see what the original intention was according to Japanese grammar, and I can try to find a natural English equivalent. I am available to correct texts any day. I will be able to correct the text within 24 hours.

    Dear teacher David san Sorry to take time for me to send back my messages due to my bad conditions caused by an intractable neurological disease. > "I would like to discuss Japan's tax system, though as in other countries, it is very complex." =I prefer this one. "Complex" is shorter than "complicated." The sentence is more concise. > Instead, you wanted to say that you learn this information from textbooks. Therefore, I would write "when I open a textbook, I see that (this is true)." = I understand that it is necessary to say "I see or find that something is so so." I learn this is a difference in a collocation of English and Japanese. English is more logical than Japanese. In Japanese, we don't bother to refer to some situations which are easy to assume. > " We "mind (something)" when it bothers us; we could also use "care about" or "worry about" instead, depending on your exact intended nuance. = This is new to me and interests me much. I had no idea the difference between "mind" and "care about or worry about." > I would use "important" to say this thing is significant, while "essential" sounded more like you were focusing on whether this does or doesn't happen at all here. = I'm interested in the nuance of "essential." Now I can understand better the word"essential worker" in the Corona pandemic. He is not important but cannot be replaced. > I'm a little unsure about your intention with "catch" here. If you meant that the government can see/find these assets, I recommend using "detect." = "Detect" is correct. I'll use this from now on. > 1) I recommend talking about "taxpaying capacity" overall without "the." 3) "is based on the transactions of an ongoing business." We say that the business owns its transactions with "of," and "business" sounds like it refers to an individual company in this phrase, so it's countable and I used "an." = I thank you for explaining "the" and "a" in your corrections not only the sentences above but also other explanations of the task overall. I understand your reasons like "in case overall, 'a' comes, in case specific, 'the' should be put", although I made and will make many mistakes about articles. Best, ie1133
