Hi. I have a great deal of respect for people who take their writing seriously. I will respect your writing and try my best to correct it in a way that will benefit you and help you clarify those issues that you need to work on. I believe that words are very powerful and can change our lives as well as the world around us. Therefore, no matter what your writing goal is, my job is to help you reach it. I look forward to reading your work! Sincerely, Ellie

    Dear Ellie, Thank you for your comments and alternative expressions. Every time I see your comments of "Well done," I feel happy and encouraged a lot because I feel my progress in writing, even though it is difficult for me to realize my improvement by myself. As for "Therefore, I am reluctant to greet business partners nicely..." When I created this sentense, I think "I am reluctant to greet nicely" is the best way to express my feeling that I don't like to but have to do so, considering how importnat this business client is for me. When I saw your revised version, however, I thought it is more understandable to say that I am willing to greet them for the sake of my successful business. I am looking forward to having your lessons soon! Best regards, Tinkle

    Hi, Ellie, Thank you for your comments and alternative expressions as always. What I wanted to express by the phrase of "jobs which can be done all along the line in the boilerplate way" was"jobs which can be mostly done just by following specified manuals with little discretion" When we refer to the specified basic form of a contract, we call it "a boilerplate contract." I used "in the boilerplate way" as this nuance in my essay. Unfortunately, It doesn't seems to work. Sorry for confusing you. I am looking forward to having your lessons soon! Tinkle

    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
