    Hi, Ellie_P. I'm sorry if my composition offended you. I don't think I could get across what I wanted to say to you. Let me explain about my composition. About Diane's face, she is, of course, still beautiful, but In some scenes, a close-up of her face was shown all over the screen. I don't know the director's intention, but I didn't think it was necessary for the movie. I didn't use the word "costume" right. In Japanese, we call the clothes that actors are wearing in the dramas or movies "Ishou" in Japanese, and Japanese-English dictionary says "Ishou" is "costume" in English. I just wanted to say she looks like she always wears the same clothes in her some movies. Diane played "Emily" in the movie, but she gave me the impression that she existed as Diane Keaton, not as "Emily." To be honest, the most disappointing thing was how "Emily" fell in love with a guy living in a shack. It took better reasons to convince me why she was attracted to him. I wrote this and that, and I'm not sure I could explain some points which were not clear in my composition. However I really appreciate your advice and message. Thank you.

    Thank you for your advice. I was told to put a comma in a sentence including two clauses by another teacher, but I did it again. I took your advice as a good reminder. You showed me good example sentences for my original ones. I really appreciate it. You and I seem to have something in common about a dream house. I feel close to you : -D

    Hi, Ellie! Thank you very much for the wonderful corrections as always. >you were off topic in this case That's true and that was what I concerned. I wanted to start my sentence telling that the topic reminded me what my friend told me in the past, and then, finish with my view that those electric devices also have risk to ruin our imagination not only our lives. But I couldn't conclude within the specified length, thus I decided to submit the first 50 words, sorry! But "off topic", "economize on" are new words to me, which was a good input, thank you! Also, I appreciate the additional amendment for the last work. The example of clubbing seals with comma was very interesting. Regarding the emotional side, I think it's good to be emotional and sensitive for self-discovery and development. I often try to shut my emotional and sensitive side and stay being logical and reasonable since, being in a sentsitive state, we have to receive all pains and stresses straitly in our mind. Thus, I think emotional / sensitive persons have strong mind since they accept their weakness, negative things and all sadness as they are, that is what I cannot do. Sorry for writing a lot. I'm looking forward to the next chance to learn from you. Have a good start of week! Asouka

    Hello teacher Ellie_P, Thank you for your correction and suggestion. "yet you came down from the sky and haven't stopped since." Whoa, I hardly use "yet" and also "since" like this, thank you, it's cool! And I like "my heart goes out to her" :) I like rain, too. Your sentences contains the feeling. Thank you so much. Have a good weekend. moet

    Dear Ellie_P, Thank you for your corrections and many advices. I'm very moved by variety of alternative expressions you suggested. > larger-deflection-wave I just wanted to express large emotional wave unique to human begings but I did not have idea how to insert in my phrase. > human beings / humans I felt surprised to know human being is different from animal while humans can be a part of animals. "Additionally, humans are the only animals that kill themselves." I try to find the difference between human beings and humans online but haven't been able to find clear reason about this so far. I also appreciate the advice to consider putting comma that I never noticed by myself. Sorry, I couldn't understand the last phrase... (Latter part may have been cut?) Thank you again for everything. Hope you can enjoy the days with raindrops! Asouka
