Dear Ellie, Thank you very much for your message. As you imagined, we went to see "La La Land". I really liked the movie, but didn't imagine it would get many Oscars at that time. I also heard about the mix up. I wish I could have watched the scene on live! Best regards, Yuko
Dear Teacher Ellie, Oh! I wanted to write "eye-opener", but it didn't come up with. I really want to be able to write like you did "I felt challenged and inspired by the book to such an extent that my horizon extended greatly." That's exactly what I was feeling during reading the book. Thank you! Best, lisbeth
Dear Teacher Ellie, Thank you, Ellie. I wanted to explain that she was pregnant and has to take care of her two children in the second sentence, but I failed to do so. So, I am grad you showed me how to express the situation. I didn't know the expression " carrying " about being pregnant. Best, lisbeth
Teacher Ellie: Thanks for your correction and wounderful messages!! I was able to learn a lot of things from you. Also, your messages rally encouraged me. I”ll do my best with the college entrance exams! Sincerely, Reina
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.
I am very happy to share the feeling with you. And thank you very much for informative feedback!
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
Thank you.
Thank you again for your great feedback and help.
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
