    Teacher Ellie_P Thank you for kind words as always. I understand 'worry' is followed by the preposition 'about'. In Japan, not only video games of car driving at video arcade but also driving simulators at driving schools are common for learners to experience driving. Since the images on screens are three dimentional so that they can watch real situations vividly. Thank you for corrections that are useful to me. Best regards, 5971mak

    Teacher Ellie_P Thank you for kind words as always. Having enough sleep is essential to be active in daily life. When I don't sleep well, I feel lethargy and have difficulty working hard. It is common for me to practice daily habits to sleep well, such as relaxing at night, not drinking a cup of coffee at night, and get up early regularly. These daily routines make me feel sleepy and have enough sleep. Thank you for corrections that are useful to me. Best regards, 5971mak

    Teacher Ellie_P Thank you for kind words as always. I am also surprised to know only three countries in Asis running maglev bullet trains. I don't know the reason why other countries don't introduce the technology. I suppose that other countries rely on airplane ahead of the new trains because of its huge amount of investment. It is said that the new bullet trains need specialized lines to realize high speed. Given the vast cost, I am afraid that the new trains might fail achiveing cost-effectiveness. By the way, chemicals are now an important concern to cultivate rice which is soul food of Japanese citizens. A variety of pesticides and artificial fertilizer are regurally consumed to raise rice yields. As farmers use more chemicals, they can increase the amount of yields in rice fields. Imagine the scene where no insects in rice fields, and silence would be horrible. Who will eat the harvest where no incects can survive. As consumers raise their awareness regarding chemicals, more people prefer purchasing the crops and vegetables that are grown in restricted amount of chemicals nowadays. Agricultural products with low pesticides are the latest trend in Japan. Thank you for corrections that are helpful to me. Best regards, 5971mak

    Teacher Ellie_P Thank you for kind words as always. The most likely explanation of surname "Sato" is that it is used to represent the descendants of military commanders who were active during the Heian period(794-1185). The exact reason for this is still unclear. It is said that about 2 million people use the name nowadays. Due to its generality, I also have three friends who have surname "Sato". Thank you for corrections that are useful to me. Best regards, 5971mak

    Thank you for reviewing my composition. I learned there are several ways to express a similar concepts thanks to your suggestions: values and mentality, status and class , virtue signaling and moral exhibitionism. Rephrasing words makes me understand the content much deeper. I also didn’t know cloths means just rag. I will be careful to correctly spell “clothes” next time!

    Teacher Ellie_P Thank you for kind words as always. Sweet potatoes are very popular such as dried sweet potetoes, sweet potato cakes, sweet potato candies, sweet potato tart, and roasted sweet potatoes. In winter, people can see stalls which sell roasted sweet potatoes on street corners. This is a familiar scene in Japan. Citizens can enjoy the delectable hot snack while walking. Delicious food can make people feel happy, so it is essential for them to be active in daily life. Let's have more delicious food, shall we. Thank you for corrections that are helpful to me.

    Teacher Ellie_P Thank you for kind words as always. I understand that I should have written "among" and "confirm that". When thinking smart birds, I think that it is a crow. They are said to learn, communicate, and work in a group. Birds are thought to have only little intelligence, but such thought may be human hubris. It is common to see birds fleeing en masse before an earthquake occurs, so they may have a special ability to predict earthquakes. Thank you for corrections that are useful to me.

    Teacher Ellie_P Thank you for kind words as always. It is always difficult for women to have a good work-life balance, especially, in the days when women were considered to be the ones doing the housework. However, when it comes to aging society, double breadwinners are more beneficial for couples than a single earner in a household. No one can forecast who suffer from serious illnesses and accidents. Therfore, two earners are helpful for couples if a spouse cannot work. They can help each other and teach their children the importance of gender equality. I believe that when women and men play an equal role in society, more people can feel happy and a society that accepts diversity will develop more than a patriarchal society. Thank you for corrections that are useful to me. Best regards, 5971mak

    Teacher Ellie_P Thank you for kind words as always. Unfortunately, Japan cannot escape from yellow sand due to creation of the dust in China desert and westerlies which bring the fine particles to Japan. As a result of the meteorological circumstance, it is annual event for Japanese people to have the yellow dust. It makes us feel the power of nature, just like climate crisis. Thank you for corrections that are helpful to me. Best regards, 5971mak

    Teacher Ellie_P Thank you for kind words as always. I understand that 'authorities' is commonly used when talking about people in power. In general, feminine and masculine are formed by environment, not in nature. Some people say it makes sense that male and female have different gender roles. At the time when physical labor was common, such thought might be reasonable. However, as civilization has developed, manual labor becomed outdated and people should change accepting gender-free society. Thank you for corrections that are helpful to me. Best regards, 5971mak

    Teacher Ellie_P Thank you for kind words as always. According to academic reserches, the result revealed that Tokyo has a big possibility of strong earthquake in the future. Scientists concluded that the possibility reaches 70% in these three decades. The conclusion is so astonished that no one can find countermeasures. The sole thing people can do is moving governmental agencies in different places. If the government relocated its ministries, current state of over-population in Tokyo would be mitigated and reduce the future damages. Thank you for corrections that are useful to me.
