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. You are right. “ Fount” is just a typo for “found.”

    Teacher David sama You have kindly told me a lot of interesting keys, which I will look over for my review. ["During the interview, I presented the interviewer with a sample of my work."] @present someone with something, together with "with" like "provide", I see. [I am rather skeptical about the actual results of ethical oversight.] [ "Adequate" means the oversight was acceptable, so it was good enough.] [However, the rest of your sentence suggests that you think it wasn't good enough, so it sounds contradictory.] @It was a Japanese collocation or way of thinking. It means "be skeptical about the results of oversight WHICH , ACCORDING TO THEIR CLAIM, THEY INSISTED TO BE SO-CALLED EVEN 'ADEQUATE' " [I also found "some" a little confusing because it sounded like you were referring to a particular group, but I don't know which group you're referring to. Instead, we often say "the results of (something)" with "the," so I used that.] @ I am on the way of leaning how to use "some,any,little,few,the,a, my,your, many,much" every words like these before nouns seem to me confusing tricks. ["Due to an oversight, the customer's name was not recorded." ["Due to an oversight, the calculations were incorrect." [I am hardly able to find cases where ethical oversight successfully fulfilled its function. @I see. One is countable one whose meaning is mistake. The other is uncountable one whose meaning is advice or check or supervise . [ "I would like to discuss three aspects of this issue" or [ "I would like to consider three situations." ["Please let me..." sounds more like you're actually asking for permission to do something; [it sounds inappropriate in an essay. " @ I see. This is a new and unexpected sense. I thought it was simply polite way. [2) Note that we use a colon to introduce a list, not a semi-colon. We can use semi-colons between the items in a long list [(rather than commas), not to introduce the list. @ In Japanese,there are no ; and : . I must remember. [3) We usually include a conjunction like "and" before the last item in a list so the reader knows the list is about to end. @ This is another manner of writing. [When choosing to fire employees, economic rationality decides the labor-management negotiation. [" since "a dismissal" is rather vague (it simply means you ask someone to leave, and this can even refer to something like [a parent telling their child to leave the room). [("Lay off (someone)" and "let (someone) go" both mean "fire (someone).") @I remembered wrongly about "dismissal." I though "dismissal" is a strong word, stronger than "let someone go." "the labor-management negotiation", I just found this phrase in a legal book. ["Companies determine whether to let employees go based on their finances." ["Financial considerations are mainly used to determine whether to lay off employees." @I see. [Among these, there are few cases in which an actual human made good ethical judgments. [1) I find the verb tenses in this sentence a little confusing. "Were found" just mentions something that was done in the @I see, quite logical. In Japanese,verve tenses are milder. [In my opinion, using robot bosses should not be seen as a competition between AI and humans, but a method of [building up an organization. [I think your intention was to say, "using robot bosses should not be seen as a competition between AI and humans, but a @ Thank you very much for your good translations. [2) Other options here include: ["Problems can occur regardless of whether we have robot bosses or human bosses." ["No matter who is the boss, problems can arise." @Thank you for your interesting expressions. [If a robot boss were put in a position and made a decision, should staff members 100% obey it? [1) We say that someone is put "in" a position. [These things are at the heart of determining how we manage companies. ["I would like to discuss three examples of how ethical decision-making is crucial in the business world." ["She was put in a bad situation at work." ["I forgot to turn off my coffee-maker when I left home this morning." Thank you for reading my reviewing.
