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.

    Thank you for your super fast edition. I am sorry about the phrase “ fold my legs.” You are right. It means “ bend my legs.”

    Teacher David san Thank you for your quick answer. I understand your explanations. >You discussed a variety of aspects of this problem clearly in your composition. = Thank you very much for your favorable sentences. Your words let me flatter myself. I would like people in African nations to realize that nothing should be thought of prior to daily life in peace, increase in income and universal election. ----- >"I think the easiest way to reduce malnutrition in these countries is by improving their economies." = I like this sentence. ------ >I would avoid using "downturns" in this situation-----this isn't a recent change. = I see and agree with you. ----- >3) "See the slight touch of" is not a natural expression; instead, we say "we cannot see even a slight sign/hint that they will end." We say there is "a sign/hint that (this will happen)" -------- = I see. "See the slight touch of" is a collocation in Japanese. ----- >After that, Japan has rebuilt everything and later Japan was said to be "Number One." > I would say "and later Ezra Vogel praised Japan in his book 'Japan as Number One.'" > It's necessary to introduce the title ------- = Thank you for guessing. What you guessed is right. I understand I have skipped necessary words. My excuse is that recently I skip words for money saving in order to reduce the number of words which I use in IDIY. (Joking.) ------- >"initiative" is a countable noun here, ------ > In comparison, "initiative" is uncountable when it refers to the ability to act first on your own, without being told what to do first ("Good employees must have initiative"). = The word"initiative" interests me. This has a different meaning when it is used either as countable word or as uncountable one. I have noticed this double-meaning word a while ago and have been paying an attention. "Initiative" has been already introduced into Japanese for a long time, but only with the meaning in "uncountable." Therefore, I did not know the meaning in "countable." In this IDIY task, it is my first time to use this word in countable. I was worried whether "peace initiatives"(I see it must be plural.) sound natural. I am happy to see it is OK. ------- Thank you for telling me a lot of useful tips including: "we cannot see even a sign that (this will happen)," "It's raining heavily and there isn't even a slight sign of it stopping." "nature," "It is important for us to introduce green initiatives to protect nature." "introduce (someone) to (something)," "She introduced me to her best friend." "In a democratic economy, elections have a big impact on business." "(something) is a different story," "People generally pay little attention to sports like running and swimming, but the Olympics are another story." "do X by doing Y," "peace initiatives." ----------------
