Announcements
I am a Canadian-born native English speaker now residing in Costa Rica. I have a university degree and a post-graduate certificate in G.I.S. (Geographical Information Systems) from McMaster University. I have visited many cultures for extended periods of time and teach children English in an area where there is no opportunity to practice. I understand the frustrations and excitement of learning a new language and way of thinking. My proofreading style encompasses three areas: 1) checking your English for grammatical errors and use of everyday English; 2) making sure your meaning comes across to the reader even though it is crossing both language and cultural differences; 3) offering suggestions to improve the style and construction of your composition. I enjoy working for IDIY and their clients because I enjoy teaching while at the same time it gives me the opportunity to learn about the Japanese culture.
Hobbies/Travel
My hobbies include breeding and photographing horses, horseback riding, making cheese and gardening. My favorite countries are Canada, Costa Rica, and Indonesia. I have also visited the Solomon Islands, the Dominican Republic, Curacao, England, Spain, Italy, Fiji, and the U.S.A.

    Thank you for the corrections you made for me. Yes, it is. You made me notice that "country's leaders " sounds strange.

    Yes, I could understand about your corrections. It made my sentence more natural. Thanks! Since you mentioned about Costa Rica, I've searched a bit and found that most of electricity is generated by natural resources. That's amazing! Please enjoy staying the wonderful country even though you might have some inconvenience.

    Thank you for correcting my sentence. I meant it was written in the formal book that men should run away when they were accused falsely because it will take many years to prove innocence and lose their social standings.

    Wow! Thanks for your information! I did never know! It might be just a translation from Japanese to English. Your feedback is always highly suggestive. Thanks again and please keep safe always. See you soon!
