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!
Thank you for your helpful feedback and comment!
I agree with you about reading '1984'. It made me feel very gloomy. I am afraid AI will become within a century the first entity on the earth which will be able to control human beings in terms of judgment by integration of knowledge, data and experience without eating any organic matters.
Dear Teacher Ellie, Thank you for correcting my writing. Yes, she is she who has a tearoom where she serves meals and tea according to the traditional Japanese tea ceremony. Considering the path I have been walking, her life is eventful and colorful. I truly respect her and sometimes envy her. As people often say, however, 'The grass is always greener on the other side of the fence', she seems to feel the same way. I would like to write her story a lot more. I hope it won't bore you. Best regard, lisbeth
I am really grateful that you showed various alternative phrases to my original sentences.
Dear Teacher Ellie, Thank you for correcting my writing. I found the order of adjectives difficult though, I want to learn little by little. Yes, I can get 10% off on all purchases as long as it's Mondays. I have to admit I sometimes squander on something necessary. Still, when I eventually got something that I had put off , I feel satisfied. Best regards lisbeth
Dear Teacher Ellie, Thank you for correction my writing again and it was so sweet of you saying you are never bored with mine. Every time I write I feel difficulties in expressing my thoughts though, I don't want to give up to be a good writer someday. (But I couldn't believe I would be a good English speaker.) As you could easily imagine, the friend of mine has been living a hard life economically. But once she told me that she would never regret. I respect her, as well as you who are brave and took a risk. People often say "no venture, no gain" though, it is not so easy. I wish I could, but I can't. Best regards, lisbeth
Thank you for the comments !
Thank you for your feedback. That's is really helpful.
Dear Teacher Ellie, Thank for teaching me as usual. Sorry for my poor explanation. Our health care is not free. We have to pay each time when we see a doctor. That is about 20% to 30% of the actual medical cost. And we have to buy medicine, if doctor prescribes. I pay about $170 monthly (about 4% of salary a month) for the health care . The amount of the payment changes accordingly to the income of a person. I'm not sure our health care is superior to Spain's, but I think it is better than many other countries. Best regards, lisbeth
Dear Teacher Ellie, Thank you for correcting my English. As you wrote, our society is very conservative. However there is more people who daringly divorce these days and it's become less stigmatic. Still if you want to escape from the marriage, you have to be independent economically. I think there's still inequality between men and women in the business world. Our society lags behind Western countries by more than 20 years in the area. I also sorry for Princes Masako, who doesn't look happy at all. Best regard, lisbeth
I mean, by 'back office', various administrative works to support front engineers. Thank you for having googled Kazusabori. It is a very economical tool to dig a hole and insert a long pipe to the layer of groundwater.
