    Teacher Ellie_P Thank you for kind words as always. I live in Kanazawa city in Noto peninsula now. My place is in urban area that has a lot of women, instead countryside in the peninsula is devoid of young women seriously. In our rural area, as common jobs are farmers and fishermen, many women are not attracted to them and move to cities in search of highly educated men. The relatives of my wife's family lives in the countryside, and they complain there were little office work but those physical labors. They say that it makes sense to help young women move to city where women can work at office. Moreover, many women aspire to be in dependent for their lives, apart from their outdated social norm in the countryside. As a result, many women escape from such old-fashioned circumstance and challenge fulfilling their hope and motivations in urban areas. I don't know how we develop the outdated thought and transform our society. However, I believe that the Japanese government should declare Japan challenge devastating gender inequality and creating gender equality society to stop depopulation in the countryside. Thank you for corrections that are helpful to me. Best regards, 5971mak

    Teacher Ellie_P Thank you for kind words as always. I understand scenario is a suitable word that I want to express my intention. By the way, while I observe my younger son's behavior that he always focus on the screen. He seemed not to have something to do with his smartphone. He feels bored and is scrolling through the screen looking for something interesting to kill time. I think that he wastes a lot of time by playing with his smartphone for no reason. Directly telling him to spend less time on his smartphones had no effect. Instead, I repeatedly question him what kind of job he wants to do, and what skills he should acquire. I told him these suggestions again and again, advising him that your wishes would not come true unless you acquire necessary skills. He started studying for his skills and ended up spending less time on his smartphone. Thank you for corrections that are helpful to me. Best regards, 5971mak

    Teacher Ellie_P Thank you for kind words as always. I'm not tired of waiting at all, so it's okay. Thank you for your always kind corrections. By the way, the smartphone addiction of today's children is a big problem. My son also hates writing down his problems on paper. He says he feels annoyed to move his hands. He tries to have a vague image in his head and give an answer in several seconds. Alothough I show how to clarify problems on paper and find countermeasures while focusing on texts, he always complains practicing such a way. Instead, he searches his question on screen so that he can find answers without consideration. I think that smartphone is very convenient but the young should not rely on it too much. Finding their own answers is very important in taking responsibility for their actions. Thank you for corrections that are useful to me. Best regards, 5971mak

    Teacher Ellie_P Thank you for kind words as always. I am skeptic that social media companies pay attention enough to protect their users. Although C.E.O of these platforms, such as Mr. Mark Elliot Zuckerberg, earn huge amount of wealth, they are not cautious to support their users. Therefore, I don't utilize such platforms, instead I join a mobile messanger application "Line" that a reliable Japanese company manages. LINE is warning users of dating services and risky smartphone apps, and is restricting the use of some features for the users who are under the age of 18. Children and juveniles are vulnerable to dangers on the internet, so governments and companies should implement regulating social media platforms. Thank you for corrections that are useful to me.

    Teacher Ellie_P Thank you for kind words as always. I understand that shrink fits to mean the decrease of pension allowance. As aging society is now the most serious concern in Japan, the Japanese government should offer a variety of countermeasures that help people. Currently, having good health is an individual matter whether or not ones pay attention to. However, concerning our gloomy future, the government should provide more incentives as people will have more healthy habits. While the government delay the starting age of pension, it should be a virtue for them to be able to work in old age by doing health promotion in their middle ages. It is an effective way that people will have healthy and productive aging so as to sustain Japanese society. Thank you for corrections that are helpful to me. Best regards, 5971mak

    Teacher Ellie_P Thank you for kind words as always. Apart from ilicit drugs, side effects of smoking is not obvious in a short duration but it damages people's body little by little. Before WHO cleared the negative impact of cigarette in 1980s, people didn't believe that smoking was very harmful. However, scientific reports cleared that smoking clearly increase of the number of premature deaths. Thanks to their effort, it is common for people to accept non-smoking society nowadays. As ilicit drugs were eradicated, I believe that smoking ban will be realized. Thank you for corrections that are helpful to me. Best regards, 5971mak

    Teacher Ellie_P Thank you for kind words as always. Personally, I didn't have opportunity to look into a recruitment agency to find me a better job. Although I change workplace once, I found new workplace while using a connection of my friend. Since new staff are the people who are familiar with my friend, I easily got along with new environment. Changing jobs are not always easy, so false comments may cheat the people who seek new ones. At least, Google should have deleted the comments that may be one-sided views. Thank you for comments that are useful to me. Best regards, 5971mak

    Teacher Ellie_P Thank you for kind words as always. Thanks to advent of Mr. Shohei Ohtani, television news programs have reported his daily result. Currently, there is no day that don't broadcast his daily things. I feel that many Japanese people encourage themselves to inspire for their work and study while watching how Mr. Ohtani plays baseball well. I think that it is a great encouragement for me to see Japanese who can do well to the world. Thank you for corrections that are helpful to me. Best regards, 5971mak

    Teacher Ellie_P Thank you for kind words as always. According to news reports, the original illustrations for anime films will be created by hand drawing. It takes 28,800 original drawings to create an hour-long anime work. As painters working in the anime industry want to create pictures that are as beautiful as possible, the amount of work naturally becomes enormous. As a result, it has become their daily routine to work about 12 or 14 hours a day. Making beautiful pictures ultimately leads to overwork unintentionally. Therefore, the government should try to improve the working environment by putting regulations in place. Thank you for corrections that are helpful to me. Best regards, 5971mak

    Teacher Ellie_P Thank you for kind words as always. The Osaka/Kansai Expo will be held from April 13th to October 13th next year with the theme of "Designing a Future Society that Brightens people's Life." According to news articles, approximately 160 countries, regions and companies will exhibit pavilions. The expected number of visitors is said to be approximately 28.2 million, and the city of Osaka expects to generate approximately 2.7 trillion yen in spending through the event. The theme is great, but it is estimated that the venue will cost 235 billion yen. The original cost was 125 billion yen seven years ago, but it is now expected to double due to rising material and construction costs. It's unclear whether corporate sponsorships and ticket revenue will make up for the drastic increase of expenses. I don't hope that there is a large amount of debt remaining after the Expo. Thank you for corrections that are useful to me. Best regards, 5971mak
