Teacher Ellie_P Thank you for kind words as always. At first, I started writting short essays in the IDIY service to pass the EIKEN English proficiency test eight years ago. Once I write my thoughts down, I noticed that it is a fun time and I can feel myself growing. As a result, daily topics of the IDIY have informed a variety of happnings that I am not familiar with. These topics are interesting and informative for me. Therefore, I cannot but continue forming my opinions even now. Thank you for corrections that are helpful to me. Best regards, 5971mak
Teacher Ellie_P Thank you for kind words as always. I think technology will change our lives. Don't you think so too? When digital books become available, books will become obsolete, but I think audiobooks will become popular. When I used to read books on paper, my eyes got tired and I could read no more than 10 books a month. However, since I started using audiobooks, I now listen to 30 books a month. As I got used to it, I was able to hear the text with my ears and it resonated with me in the same way as when I was reading it. I think bookstores will disappear, but I think the audiobook business will flourish and new reading style by listening to audiobooks will become commonplace. Thank you for corrections that are useful to me. Best regards, 5971mak
Teacher Ellie_P Thank you for kind words as always. Teachers should repeatedly remind students of the rigors and hardships after the onset of their work. In actual work, machines are responsible for performing simple tasks. More and more workers are working in service industries, such as sales, education, and health and welfare jobs. Therefore, students have to acquire the ability of critical thinking and finding answers depending on situations. Tackling difficult challenges will give students the strength to live in the future. Cheating must be stopped to raise their capabilities. Thank you for corrections that are helpful to me. Best regards, 5971mak
Teacher Ellie_P Thank you for kind words as always. Aging is a serious crisis for the Japanese government. The government cannot come up with effective solutions yet. It is said that if this trend continues, Japan's medical and welfare system will definitely collapse. Digitalization of healthcare system is essential to leading to significant savings in healthcare costs and preventing bankruptcy of the social security . Japan, becauseu of the world's oldest nation, seems to be conducting a social experiments of the most elderly country that will be very helpful to other nations.

Teacher Ellie_P Thank you for kind words as always. I understand that I should use "one" at first time. When I was a university student, I visited a fitness gym to work out. However, after I started working, I regularly take a walk in the evening due to a lack of spare time. Although the environment of the training room is comfortable, I don't have a time to go to the gym. Naturally, I changed doing exercise around my residence. It is still enjoyable for me and a good way to say hello to my neighbors. Thank you for corrections that are helpful to me. Best regards, 5971mak
Thank you, as always.
Thank you for your prayer for my father!
Teacher Ellie_P Thank you for kind words as always. Yes, I meant that middle-aged people do cycling. Now, in Japan, it is said that there are 60 million motor vehicles among 120 million people. It means that almost every adult has their own car because the number of children and elderly people subtracted from the total number. Naturally, traffic congestions occur in urban areas frequently. Hence, the number of young adults who commute by bicycle are rising to avoid stuck in traffic. In addition, as global warming is being called out, they regard their behaviors as a eco-friendly way to reduce fossil fuel consumption. Therefore, local governments should make bike lanes to have safety environment for cyclists. Thank you for corrections that are useful to me. Best regards, 5971mak
Yes, Japanese crested ibises became extinct in Japan. There are still many in China. I lacked enough explanation.
Teacher Ellie_P Thank you for kind words as always. Tourism, restaurants and souvenir shops are now the main businesses in the local economy. Many rural municipalities are trying to increase the number of tourists by advertising on the Internet. On the other hand, too many tourists can lead to overtourism, with people littering, not knowing the traffic rules, and destroying tourist spots. I think if the local residents could speak more English, they would be able to carefully explain to visitors what to be careful of and protect tourist spots. I think overtourism shows the need to learn English. Thank you for corrections that are helpful to me. Best regards, 5971mak
Teacher Ellie_P Thank you for kind words as always. I feel sorry for you for having to go through such a terrible experience when you were in Madrid for the first time. As you say, in a multi-ethnic country, a sense of comradeship comes into play only within their groups. As a result, more and more people start thinking that all they need to do is for themselves. Thank you for corrections that are useful to me. Best regards, 5971mak
Thank you for your feedback and sharing your fond story with your son!
Teacher Ellie_P Thank you for kind words as always. Although it is a bit troublesome to do daily routines for 9000 steps, daily exercises make me active and healthy due to reduction of my body weight. When I am lazy, my body weight increases and I feel tired easily. That is why I keep my daily tasks for being productive. Since muscles can be trained, I would like to keep physical strengthes to enjoy daily life. Thank you for corrections that are helpful to me. Best regards, 5971mak
Teacher Ellie_P Thank you for kind words as always. Learning foreign languages is said to be profitable for learners to have advantages not only for their businesses but also for anti-aging. As the number of the young clearly declines, more shops will struggle to hire young Japanese. Instead, they are forced to hire economic migrants who have difficulty speaking Japanese. Having English proficiency will be beneficial for proprietors to make up for a lack of labor. In addition, scientific researches showed that bilingual speaking can delay the onset of dementia that is a significant issue for people. As I feel the effect of anti-aging by speaking bilingual languages, my memery capacity is clearly more elevated than before I become a bilingual speaker. Therfore, regardless of any languages, I believe that everybody should have foreign languages to learn. Thank you for corrections that are useful to me. Best regards, 5971mak
Teacher Ellie_P Thank you for kind words as always. I should not have repeated society in a sentence. I meant that many people means common opinion among people. As more women hope to have their jobs, there is still a skepticism that women can work as well as men. When they work, they are forced to show their motivation to their bosses. Many of female workers try to achieve excellence in their workplaces. However, in these years, their aqtmosphere has been improved due to a very low birth rate. The Japanese government order companies to boost child care supports to help female workers who have a baby. They can now request reduced work hours, no night shift, and one-year paid holiday to their bosses. As long as they are during the durationto to look after babies, they are now protected. However, it is not certain that they will continue previous work after the end of the child care paid holidays. Although they will work in their same companies, some of them will be moved to different divisions. In some cases, they may be relegated to subsidiary companies. Competition always continue in companies and business society, so I believe that making a good work-life balance is always challenge for female workers even now in Japan. Thank you for corrections that are useful to me. Best regards, 5971mak
