I have to keep working on how to use "article." I've been learning English for a long time, but I still have the trouble. I like your sample sentences, such as "My work does me a lot of good." I knew the phrase, "do someone good," but I didn't know in what situation I could use it. Thank you!

In Japan, people have to wait for 6 month after their publication and then borrow them free of charge at libraries. People who want to read asap will buy ones, others who can wait for 6 months will borrow books afterward. Within 50 words, I cannot explain the current situation surrounding publishing companies. The situation surrounding newspaper companies are the same. They cannot sell papers well, because people shift from printed ones to the website to get information. Quite honestly, it is much easier, faster and cheaper to get information than printed newspapers.

Buenas tardes Ellie, Gracias por todos. Habro Español un poquito. Me gusta la música de salsa y toco la trompeta en una banda latina. I want to visit España someday and try tapas in a bar. Ken

Thanks for your corrections. This question was fun to think of its answer, it was not easy, though. I also enjoyed your information on 'tapa.' It sounds nice to have a drink with good tapas.

Hello, Ms. Ellie. Thank you for your kind instruction. It is very easy for me to understand. balloon18

You always let me know examples I didn’t think of. Thank you. I really appreciate it!

Thank you for your correction and for sharing the information about living cost in Hawaii. It seems that I have to work some more before retiring.

Hi Ellie, Thank you for correcting my essay. Yes, I remember the accident. It was a heartbreaking tragedy. I am not such a brave person, but admire those who broaden horizon of mankind. I hope you have a good day, too! Ken

I really appreciate that you showed me some examples. I'd like to pick up some words and phrases from your sentences. Thank you.

Dear teacher Ellie-P Thank you for your intelligible teaching. I learned a lot! And I’m really greatful to alternative sentences you always write. They are very helpful. Thanks and kind regards, Pasery

Thank you!

Thank you very much.

Have a nice trip!

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.

I appreciate it! Thank you for correcting my sentences.
