Hi, thank you for your detailed feedback! My little girl became 3 months old yesterday, but under the state of emergency, we cannot meet anyone except for my husband.. Japanese government announced the economic measures to encourage the sluggish economy by the coronavirus. The government is planning to spend $1 trillion and the Prime Minister Abe explained that this would be the world's largest amount but most people feel that they cannot enjoy receiving it due to rigid prerequisites.
Hi, sorry for making the same mistake of "everyday". I think I am pointed out on this third times...I have to remember it. As for my maternity leave benefit, legally speaking, my company does not pay a salary to me but I receive employment insurance benefits. However, my company asks me to reimburse the inhabitant tax, which is almost the same amount of the employment insurance benefits, so my cash inflow is almost zero....In Japan, we pay an inhabitant tax one year later. This tax is usually withheld by the company, but during maternity leave, there is nothing the company can withhold, so I have to reimburse it from my savings.
Hi, thank you for your detailed feedback as always. The reason why I separated Tokyo from Japan is because they have own budget. I am a citizen of Tokyo as well as a citizen of Japan, so I feel I should bear a double cost though a tax payment . I should have written more precisely.
Hi Ellie: Thank you for your revisions message! I heard that our government is going to declare a state of emergency today or tomorrow. It seems that our law cannot ban us to go out of our home so that we will still be able to live like the last few days. I wish it will be effective in preventing the spread of the virus. It is very comfortable for me to work from home so far, because I can avoid taking a subway very crowded. Take care and have a great day!
Thank you for your correction! Unfortunately, I don't feel I was able to express my thoughts very well this time. I am going to keep learning and enjoying IDIY program :) Best regards,
Thank you very much for your revisions and kind message! When I was a kid, I grew up in a rural area in Japan, so I often went to a bamboo forest close to my home. I also think that we have to respect for the environment. Take care and have a good day!
Dear Teacher Ellie, Thank you for your comments and the alternative sentences. I hope we will endure the effects and rebuild ourselves, too. In addition, I have heard the news of the situation in Spain almost everyday. I hope you keep safe. Best, Yukibaseball12
Thank you very much for your detailed feedback. I was really surprised that my favorite county is your homeland! The island I visited was Mikonos. I have been there twice.
Hi Ellie! I was wrong. It was over 70,000US dollars per year not 7,000US dollars. I am so sorry! Keiichi
Thank you for the detailed explanation! The advice from you was very helpful.
Thank you very much for your comprehensive explanation on the words related "made." I think I can use these words more precisely from now on.
Dear Ms Ellie_P, Thank you for your feedback and alternative sentences!
Choosing "a" or "the" still gives me a headache but I will keep going forward.
Hi Ellie! I ordered the book on Amazon. As soon as I receive it, I will read it. I also believe goodwill,faith and affirmation are very helpful for our mental health and physical well-bing. I send short messages to my clients and even a few sentences make them feel better and ease their mind. That’s why I am so happy to do that. I am so glad you read the article about Ken Shimura. I almost cried when I saw his remains of URN on TV. However, he will be fine and come to life again in the spirit world. Thank you. Keiichi
Today, a Japanese famous comedian passed away due to coronavirus. It has been only 6 days since he was hospitalized. Japanese people, especially the young generation, had been criticized by the rest of the world due to a lack of seriousness to coronavirus, but I think people must have known how dangerous the virus was.
