Hi, Ellie I cannot agree more. I like to buy food or vegetables directly from shopkeepers while communicating with them. But due to decreasing number of such shops, first of all, it is fairly difficult to find them. Secondly, I am too busy to enjoy shopping. In a drama I saw recently, main character says, " when we don't buy food directly at private shops, food safety cannot be secured." The words of wisdom. Regards, Hiroko
Thank you very much.
Thank you so much.
“What about their names?” There are not their names on the list. But I usually list their names. “Do you ever make up things, or improvise, as you go along?” I often make up things.
Hi, Ellie Due to 50-word limit, I could not fully explain the situation. I myself have 2 dogs, a chihuahua and a papillon. I trained them properly and they never bark without any reasons. I wonder why they cannot. Maybe my neighbors love dogs so deeply they cannot scold them strictly. Regards, Hiroko
“I wonder, did Yuka manage to buy them later?” I’ll write about how it went. See you soon!
Thank you for your explanation, it helped me a lot.
Thank you for your great advices! Usually, I think our learning curve has a part of flat and plateau line right before coming rapid upward curve. I can interpret that I’m on the plateau right now. Anyways, I’ve never heard of that kids in other countries don’t use their smartphones while they spend time with their family relative to Japanese kids. I’d say it’s cultural background in Japan, people can take a communication without a conversation. We have a so profound and ambitious culture. Thanks Kozo
It dawned on me right now that I can check your feedback on this app. I used to check them on PC and print them out. This app is really handy!
Seriously, Ellie Thank you!
Thank you teacher Ellie! I learned many vocabulary and grammar. And it is very nice to know which mistake I made and how to write it better. I feel so accomplished and happy that I could write the days which I spent in Guam.
Thank you very much.
Thank you very much.
Hi, Ellie Thank you for your nice comment. Do you often use your cellphone or smartphone while spending time with your family? ... Yes, not so often, but sometimes when my iPhone catches e-mails or messages, I secretly check them, even when my friends are with me. My friends do the same. It is inevitable. WInter is coming. Autumn is going. Regards, Hiroko
Thank you teacher Ellie. And I noticed my mistake. It should be Pre grade 1 , not “semi-1”. The Chinese exam Pre grade 1 easier than grade 1. Anyone passed grade 1, that person will be exempted from the bilingual interpreter exam. Even though I took Pre grade 1, but it was so hard for me. I will continue my study and I will take that exam next year. Thank you for reading and collecting my diary.
