    Hi, Ellie, Thank you for your quick response and comments. I don't think that the majority of my customers may opt for the free one because most of our visitors want to keep pure-blooded young dogs and cats rather than unpedigreed adult one. In addition, if mass communication feature our shop's social activity on TV, more customers will visit us and some of them buy our pets! I am looking forward to having your lessons soon! Best regards, Tinkle

    Hi, Ellie, Thank you for reviewing my essay in details as always. As you pointed out, "they cannot be a substitute so easily" is not enough for the readers to understand what I want to say clearly, though you were able to guess it. I should have added more information. I am looking fowrad to having your lessons shortly! Best, Tinkle

    Dear Ellie, Thank you for your reviewing and giving compliments. I am happy to hear your comments and was encouraged very much. When I was an examinee, I was good at handwriting and could wirte many difficult Kanjis down easily. I cannot, however, recall most of them without using the Kanji Conversion function on my PC currently. Our memories have been deteriorated day by day since PCs have spoiled us so much. I am very scared about this deterioration nowadays. I am looking foward to having your lessons soon! Best regards, Tinkle

    Thank you for your corrections. As you wrote, I should've chose the word "hut," "shelter," or "cabin" instead of "camp." I also learned in what situation I can use " take it in stride." Let's hope we wouldn't be stranded on our own :-D

    Hello, Ellie My father really hated funerals as well as tombs. My mother arranged his tomb after his funeral, but I do not think and am sure that he is not there . He is somewhere else where he doesn't suffer from disease anymore or swim in the sea. He grew up in the country along the coastline and loved the sea. Like my father, I don't like funerals and tombs. If I die, I don't need neither of them. Best Regards, Hiroko.

    Dear Ellie, Thank you for your corrections and your original version as always! I felt relieved to know you have the same idea as mine in terms of rituals. I was a little bit afraid of your reaction to my thought, because I believe that Christian basically have a strong belief in the existence of the split of the departed and have a lot of respect for religious rituals. As for your corrections, "While living with them, during Obon, I usually went to the graves of our ancestors with my parents in order to clean them". seems like I went to the graves in order to clean my parents, though everyone understand what you are saying from the context. I have never washed my parents' body in front of the graves! I am looking forward to haveing your lessons shortly! Regards, Tinkle

    Dear Ellie, Thank you for your prompt and detailed reviews plus your original version as always. I heard that a baby chick in an sperm egg might feel a pain after the fourth day from egg production. Therefore, though, I know, most of eggs in the markets are infertile eggs, I used the expressions that "they are killed" and "they can feel a pain. " I am sorry for beling lazy to explain the background behind my thoughts. I am looking forward to having your comments on my text which I submitted to you today! Best regards, Tinkle

    Yeah, we’re observing Obon. You know a lot! However, actually, its starting date varies within different regions of Japan. When the lunar calendar was changed to the Gregorian calendar at the beginning of the Meiji era, the localities in Japan reacted differently and this resulted in three different times of Obon. "Shichigatsu Bon" ("Bon in July") is based on the solar calendar and is celebrated around 15 July in eastern Japan (Kantō region such as Tokyo, Yokohama and the Tōhoku region), coinciding with Chūgen. "Hachigatsu Bon" (Bon in August) is based on the lunar calendar, is celebrated around the 15th of August and is the most commonly celebrated time. "Kyū Bon" (Old Bon) is celebrated on the 15th day of the seventh month of the lunar calendar, and so differs each year. Anyway, our family’s is "Shichigatsu Bon" ("Bon in July".)

    I remembered some expressions that I forgot by reading your example sentences. Thank you. By the way, I'm sorry to read your story about your business. I'm not sure which is better, take a risk or play it safe. This is one of my questions that remain to be answered.
