I have also been playing the drums for last 3 years and regulary go to the drum studio to practice. My favourite country is Taiwan, I have lived in Taiwan for 9 years. I hope to visit Japan very soon!
Message from the instructor
My correction style is to correct grammatical errors and then suggest how to make the writing more natural. After those things are done, I can give some suggestions of how to add to the writing to make it more interesting.

    I wonder if "some" is just typo for "same"...? Because the earrings I promised her to get is just the same one as mine, not some other earrings. So I promised her to get it in Japan. So, I promised to get her some in Japan. Sorry, I cannot ask about it now, it is too late.. moet

    The use of "those" is cool, a pronoun can be put before the indicating noun (=earrings) appears in the sentence like this...! "Besides those in fast-fashion chain stores, the earrings they sell there are uncool." Thank you, it was very interesting. moet

    "benevolence" is the exact word I imaged! It is difficult for me the difference of singular and plural at ferry, cancellation, accident. I have not understand it yet, but I stockpile.. Thank you, teacher Leilei! moet

    "while",Instead of "and"! Indeed! I would like to use "while" well like this! "in the mouth" Everytime I get corrction of article, I try to think the reason why that article is used or not used. This "the" is difficult to understand, it is not a mouth of someone specific.. "the" is really difficult. But I stockpile this for "ah-ha!" someday. Thank you to always check my articles carefully, teacher Leilei! moet

    Hello teacher Leilei, Oh,"culprit"! I saw the word at least twice in the manga I have been reading for months, the English version of "Death Note"! Many of the words there are police terms, but yes, "culprit", "suspect","capture" might be useful, hehe! Thank you for your help :) moet

    Thank you teacher Leilei, I understood all of your explanation! I was thinking I learned, in high school, that "on + present participle" means the two action ongoing together at the same period of time. I have googled " on + present participle", it says that it means "doing something once an action has been done" just as you said. In french, " en + present participle" means two actions being done at the same period of time. I'm sorry, I sometimes mix up English and French grammar. Now I learned a very important thing. And regarding "interactive", l am glad that it can work if the subject is "everything". I appreciate you for your help and time! moet

    The word "Foyer" is just like "lobby", then..? I see! "avoid" is the word used very frequently in conversations. Thank you so much to letting me know "avoid + ~ing". moet

    Wow, I was thinking that "when" is for a certain point of time, and "during" signifies a period. So, I was a little surprised with your correction "When I am returning home to Japan, the main thing I usually do, is shop." But for example, "When would be the best time" " any Monday in the morning" Yes, I think I understood now. Thank you!
