    Thanks for your correction and answering qusstions. I was glad when you found some parts poetic, because I actually was. However, I was not sure how to express better and needed more description, so thanks for your rerwiting. This snow is artificially illuminated and coloured, but snow it self is by mother nature, which is called icecles, by the way.

    Thanks for your correction and also good suggestions! They're all clear and make sence. It'd be terrifying if someone hacked my account. I hope nobody hack my awkward tweete. Yeah, Chichibu is the best place for relaxing. I'll enjoy it. Have a nice weekend.

    Dear Teacher Ellie, I'd like you to watch the videos of Rachel Khoo, if you had some time. Her kitchen in the videos is very tiny but really cute. The table ware and utensils are also Paris-ish. I'm not much of a cook, either. But browsing those pages must be fun. Thank you for teaching me again. Best, lisbeth

    Ellie Thank you very much for checking my sentence and giving me some examples. Indeed,I had also experienced bullies,so this subject made me think deeply. I wish that bully disappeared in the world.On the other hand, I think that it is difficult to get rid of it,because it is like creature's instincts. But still, we humans should solve this with our intelligence. I will read your advise which you offered me this time and would like to learn how to write. And I would like to try some other subjects. Thank you for everything, Autorock

    Dear Teacher Ellie, Happy Birthday! Wishing you a future filled with happiness! I am glad I'm not delay to say that. I always wish I could become a person who can forgive quickly and forget what 's already past. So, I like your attitude towards the man. I admire you. Even though I think forgiving effects my own salvation, it's not easy for me. Still, it's worth trying. I wrote ´I should have done as usual at very such time´ to mean that "I should have done as I usually do during that time as well", as you corrected, because it makes no sense to get down and do nothing, and doing something routinely is effective in uplifting the mood. Thank you for good paraphrasing. May today be full of sunshine and smiles, laughter and love. Best regards, lisbeth

    Dear Teacher Ellie, Thank you for teaching me as usual. So, your birthday is 31st January. Mine is 3rd February. As you said, I was pleased with the birthday wishes I have got on the day, even though I am an existence that won't grow but age. I was a little surprised and shocked to read the reaction of your 2 Spanish friends. I thought European people tend to outweigh maturity than youth. The younger, the more valuable? If so, people couldn't be happy when they have passed the childhood. I agree with you on the idea that we should cerebrate being alive. My two-year younger brother died in December 2015. So, I really think so. Best, lisbeth

    Dear Teacher Ellie, Thank you for correcting my writing as usual. I will be careful when I write or say "I didn't know you are smart" or something. Of course, I didn't mean that I thought he was not smart, and I finally realized he is smart in this case. I just admire his intelligence. Thank you again. Yes, I was referring to the current situation in relation to Donald Trump. It looks like a theatrical drama with an obvious villain and people around him. When I saw him on TV, I improvised a line; That one may smile, and smile, and be a Trump. Best, lisbeth

    Dear Ellie_P 'Sensei' (=Teacher or Master in Japanese): As always, I am amazed at the big difference between my original and your edited versions. Also, I am very impressed to read your heartfelt message which was attached this time, too. I wish I would be able to express my sincere appreciation to you in more accurate and natural English, again in the near future. Hasta luego! Warmest Regards, Ted325

    Dear Teacher Ellie, When I heard those things (he wants to cut out their wedding reception and so on) I also thought he might not love her, and she should have second thought. However, she seems to accept his ideas, and try to focus more on positive aspects. She said "I know marriage is all rosy life". They don't seem fall head over heels in love with each other though, they want to make themselves happy together. I hope they will "live happily ever after". Best, lisbeth

    Dear Teacher Ellie, I'm sorry for your friend. I can understand her feelings when she broke the nargile. When I experienced the Kobe great earthquake 22 years ago, I thought I wouldn't try to posses high-grade fragile objects. Still, there are some ceramic dishes I want to cherish as long as possible. So I was grade when I knew the technique of mending that has been used for generations. Nowadays we can get a variety kind of goods at 1$ shops though, I want to treasure things around me. Best, lisbeth

    Dear Teacher Ellie, Thank you for correcting my writing again. I love the way of putting , "another turn in the road ". It beautifully describes what the friend meant. Thanks again. You are living away from your family and your home country. I imagine how much it would have taken courage to to so. As I have lead a unspectacular life, I really admire you as well as the friend of mine. Since she is in her 50's and has been through a lot, she wouldn't marry if she had tried to find negative things about her marriage. As she mentioned, people sometimes have to take risks. Very best to you, lisbeth

    Your message was very impressive. How happy I am to communicate like this in English the person I've never met! The force of English is great and I thank you so much. I'm sure AI will never experience this kind of emotion, no matter how intelligent it may become, because AI has no heart and will never obtain it for ever. IDIY's charging system is not so intelligent as AI but its behavier is very similar to AI. The system itself has no heart but those who operate it are easy enough to anytime command it to accept my submission of composition that was rejected wlthout any advance warning, if they have a heart!
