    Think your for your review, my composition became a much better version that expresses exactly what I wanted to say. The expression “ it is high time that~” can be used in many different occasions, so I would like to try to use it another essay. I thought the working environment overall in Europe is better than that in Japan. I didn’t know we have similar problems. The same international companies has expanded all over the world, so I think that our situations surrounding internet shopping and delivery business are very similar. Thank you for very helpful suggestions!

    Teacher Ellie_P Thank you for kind words as always. I understand that I should have put "somewhat" before the adjectives. It is difficult for me to memorize proper portion of adverb in a sentences, but I would try to memorize. As for baseball, it is the most popular sports in Japan. Although other sports like soccer, volleyball, and basketball becomes common than before, baseball still attracts many people. In particular, Mr.Ohtani is said to be the best player in the U.S. because he can play not only an excellent pitcher but also one of the homerun kings. No one can achieve such a great feat ever. That is the reason why he becomes a superstar in the countries where baseball is popular. Thank you for corrections that are helpful to me. Best regards, 5971mak

    Teacher Ellie_P Thank you for kind words as always. It is notorious that truck drivers get low wages such as 25,000 euros annually including bonus. In addition, drivers have to load and unload parcels by themselves. To avoid traffic congestion, many drivers drive their trucks at night after 8 p.m. or early in the morning around 4 a.m. Many drivers naturally end up working night shifts or early morning shifts, resulting in suffering from high blood pressure and diabetes that may cause stroke and heart attacks. I think that the Japanese government should make a law to raise their minimal annual income so that drivers will take more day off to promote a good health. Currently, due to their low salary, many of them are forced to work long hours to compensate for their low wages. It is said that drivers work about 10 hours a day, and it is normal for drivers to work 2 to 3 hours of overtime each day. Therefore, wage increase is essential to help the drivers improve their circumstance while reducing overtime work. Thank you for corrections that are useful to me. Best regards, 5971mak

    Teacher Ellie_P Thank you for kind words as always. I understand that I should have written "Apparently, it is said that". As for the official public organization in Japan, The Pharmaceuticals and Medical Devices Agency (PMDA), this authority monitor all kinds of chemicals including health supplements. Currently, since Japan is aging society, many elderly people taking anti-aging health products. There are many health supplements that are commonly available in Japan nowadays. Since the budget has a limitation, PMDA have difficulty surveying all health supplements. However, the public body should provide cautions regarding health products to the users. When it comes to concerns, the organization should take actions to check whether the products are safe or not. The health authority should keep cautions for the health supplements to prevent serious cases. Thank you for corrections that are helpful to me. Best regards, 5971mak

    Teacher Ellie_P Thank you for your kind words as always. Even in the 21st century, conflicts and wars continue, such as conflicts arising from differences of religious beliefs, struggles for gaining supremacy in international politics, the negative repercussions of America First policy, and Russia's invasion against neighboring countries. All people wish to live in peace and calm daily life, but in reality conflicts occur all over the world due to occupying interests. Although it is unclear how effective diplomatic negotiations are, I believe that we should not give up on diplomacy centered on the United Nations. The ruthless destruction, civilian casualties, and genocides must be accurately recorded, to prevent the next victims and mass destruction. I believe that it is the people's earnest wish that conflicts and wars should be avoided and that good economic conditions would be maintained. Thank you for corrections that are useful to me.

    Teacher Ellie_P Thank you for kind words as always. Bubble tea has already become commonplace in Japan, too. I also often drink it. The unique texture of pearls looks like a small piece of softened octopus seasoned with sugar. Every time you bite into it, it sticks to your gums and feels indescribably good. After I drink it, the delightful feeling and delicious flavor remain through the day. I am also coffee lover, so I drink 4 or 5 cups of coffee. When drinking a cup of coffee, it gives me energy and more concentration to do things. A cup of coffee is one of my essentials to have active daily life. Thank you for corrections that are helpful to me. Best regards, 5971mak

    Teacher Ellie_P Thank you for kind words as always. I mean fast and slow learners. In Japan, English is the best example of this difference in learning speed. Differences in the English learning speed of individual students are directly linked to their scores. I believe that school suthorities should encourage students to have both classroom lessons and online one-to-one lessons to raise their English skills. Thanks to IT education, students can have more chances to develop their abilities. Therefore, teachers accept digital gadgets to learn subjects. Thank you for corrections that are useful to me.

    Teacher Ellie_P Thank you for kind words as always. I am glad that you have a beautiful print on cloth that is now adorning a table in your living room. I'm happy to hear that Japanese culture is spreading overseas. Manga and anime were the catalyst for spreading Japanese culture around the world. Until then, these works were considered children's books, but Japanese manga and anime developed this concept. Nowadays, manga and anime are one of the entertainments like movies. Along with this, ukiyo-e and Japanese paintings are also attracting attention. Paintings convey messages beyond words. I think that paintings and music have great significance in internationalization because messages can be shared between different people. Thank you for corrections that are helpful to me. Best regards, 5971mak

    Teacher Ellie_P Thank you for kind words as always. My favorite Japanese food is sea food that contains a variety of fish and shrimps. Since I am living in Noto penisulae, there are a lot of sea food here. Due to its freshness, any kind of cooking, such as raw fish, grilled fish, boiled fish, and fried fish, is pretty delicious. Before I moved here, I was in Kyoto where fresh sea food is not palatable. Once I started living in a coast region, fresh sea food make me sea food enthusiast. I can not help eating sea food here because of the delicacy of sea food dishes. My place belong to northern part of Japan that have snow in winter. The coldness of winter brings melty taste of sea food derived from fatty fish meat and shrimps, resulting in its greasy but light texture. Thank you for corrections that are useful to me.

    Teacher Ellie_P Thank you for kind words as always. In Japan, there is a difference between day care center and a nursing home. Before the real situation of nursing homes was cleared, it was said that elderly people had better be put in the residence. However, when local governments constracted the facilities and exhorted the elderly to move to the facility, a variety of serious problems was revealed in Japan. Since many of the elderly have deterioration of cognitive impairment, they have difficulty getting along with new frinends in the nursing home. Quarrels, harrasments, and a lack of silence due to deterioration of communication ability are frequently occurred among elderly residents. To pacify these nuisances and troubles, sedative drugs are prescribed to those elderly who cause these problems. As a result, the elderly who receives sedative medicines lose their energy, resulting in apathy at the nursing homes. Given the importance of such sad circumstance, the elderly people who have good relationships with their families tend to live at home as much as possible, while attending day care centers every day during the day time to reduce the burden on their caregivers. Once they becomes bedridden condition, it is common that they are moved into the public nursing home under the public system for the elderly care giving. Thank you for corrections that are useful to me. Best regards, 5971mak
