Announcements
In my work as a teacher, I always love and advocate reading and writing. Constructing a coherent and cohesive sentence is a great way to improve the overall English skill, therefore being able to be involved, is a tremendous opportunity as an educator. I would also try to make my correction as easy as possible to understand.
Hobbies/Travel
I've plenty of hobbies that it would be an exhaustive list, however my favourites are gardening, watercolour painting, calligraphy, piano playing and diving. There were plenty of counties which provided marvellous experiences in my journey. I've travelled almost all of South East and East Asian countries as well as Europe and my own backyard New Zealand. This might sound biased, but Japan is still my most cherished memory, the culture, scenery, people and food were all memorable.
Message from the instructor
I would start by reading the paragraph as a whole expression of an idea, to comprehend what is the writer trying to express. Then I would employ systematic breakdown and look for general errors, these are the grammatical and spelling errors. Most likely I would separate longer sentence into a few clauses and assess each of them individually. After that, I would assess the mistakes and provide corrections, explanations and/or examples, in an easy to understand manner. This should assist the writer to construct a coherent, cohesive and concise sentence. Finally, I would make sure that the sentence flow naturally and logically, avoiding choppiness and wordiness.

    Dear Teacher DewiCodex san Thank you for your answer to my question about "anyone." I see the point when you wrote - while "anyone" means all or any part of the group,-. At least, one person of the group and without exception if one agrees with the condition, namely owning real estates. > …such as 'As the government of Canada move forward with the tax … =I see the way to expand the sentence with some additional information, with which I'll try it next. > please maintain around similar amount of words in each sentence. = I see, and I like the phrase " the aesthetic of the composition." > Chinese investors buying a lot of properties which drove the value up, thus making it hard for the locals to buy houses. = In Japan, they say Chinese money floods into depopulated villages and buys lands and houses, but their money doesn't come on the surface and then later a lot of Chinese people come to the village and occupy the village, becoming like a part of Chinese territory. Some fears it can be an invasion. I don't know the fact, but the nation looks to have an intention to increase its territory. > Your writing skill is excellent and will surely improve as you practice more composition. = I'm happy to read this. I'm honored by your assess. Best Regards, ie1133

    Dear DewiCodex Thank you for your review. Your explanation is informative and easy to understand for me. To be honest, it is really difficult for me to choose the words and phrases which sound more "natural", but I will try to learn gradually. I'm looking forward to seeing you next time. Best Regards, Tucker

    Dear DewiCodex, Thank you for correcting! I understood about the expressions about paying with credit card. Your corrections helped me understand natural expressions. I’d like to use them in conversations with foreign people! I realize the importance of lectures from native speakers. I learned a lot of awkward English in English textbook in Japan. I’m so happy to get to know IDY and you! Have a good day! See you next time! Sincerely, Takashi0502

    Dear DewiCodex, Thank you for checking my sentences and providing feedback. It was a great experience for me since this was the first time to receive an assessment of my English writing from a native speaker. I always try my best in writing, but not quite sure about whether it flows naturally or not. I often check my co-worker's sentences, but nobody checks mine! I think the IDIY system matches my demand perfectly.

    Dear Teacher DewiCodex san Thank you for assessing my writing so kindly. >In daily life, to what degree should matters be planned and prepared? = Thank you very much for your informative corrections. I was not able to think of the difference "Things"and"matters" in nuances. Regarding "things", I come up with "How are things with you?", while, as to "matters", "to make matters worse" comes in my mind. Anyway, I understand the usage of "Things"and"matters" is highly related to native language sensibility. ----- >It is a profound question to me. = I see. Present tense is used to describe not only repeated actions but also general truths. This is new to me. ------ >the higher the stress level it creates. = I see. 'Stress' itself measures by levels and is associated with levels. And 'creates' is better for avoiding repetition and in conjunction with the next sentence. ----- >However, at the same time, I'd be happy with the better results. = I understand I need to put 'The' before 'better'. I'v been trying to be careful about 'the'and 'a', but still cannot do well with the articles. --- I am very glad to receive your positive feedback on my compositions. Thank you again. Best Regards, ie1133 /////////////////////////
