Teacher Ellie_P I understand your correction. I should have mentioned how digital payment bring freedom of payment to consumers. Thank you for corrections that are helpful for me. Best regards, 5971mak

Teacher Ellie_P Yes, it is still difficult for me to use the definite article correctly. I need more practice to make sentences that I want to say. Thank you for corrections that are helpful to me. Best regards, 5971mak
Thank you so much for your advice. The examples you showed me are very helpful to understand the differences between my English expression and the sentence structure of a native speaker. I will continue to request you to review my writings.
I dye my hair by myself, so I can't do it well at the back of my head.
Teacher Ellie_P It is still not clear why the pilot of the Japan coast guard airplane trespassed into the runway without a permission from the control tower. Currently, he is under treatment in intensive care unit and is anticipated to be saved. After he will bounce back his serious condition, he will be investigated what happened at that time. Although the rescue is said to be a miracle, we should not forget five crews died at the accident. The authority should reveal the exchange of the words between the pilot and the control center so that this accident should be a seed to raise the safety of the plane. As for the first meeting? It is usually held to raise a spirit of collaboration in companies, or to strengthen friendship of companies in businesses. In case of the first meeting of a company, the president of a company hold the office party and invite subordinates. The objective is to raise a good and peaceful atmosphere in the office. However, apart from the objective, in actual situation, employees flatter their superiors and the president to make a good impression. Since patriarchy is still common in Japan, there is difficulty creating open minded mood among participants. Contrary, most participants compete to get a good impression from the bosses. In-company New Year's office party is usually held during the first week of January like Jan 3,4, or 5. The second case of a New Year's party is for companies presidents in businesses. Participants are usually company presidents. Usually, leaders of business society in each region hold the party to strengthen communication in their societies. The leaders expect that more companies raise competitiveness while maintaining friendly relationship among companies. The New Year's party of business societies is usually held middle of January like the 3rd Saturday. Before the Covid-19 pandemic, these two types of the New Year's office party were common and these were thought to be indispensable to galvanize business activities. However, through the challenges during the pandemic, employee's mind became altered to prioritize their personal lives because remote work is possible to practice in many situations. In my view, although the office party will be held, the atmosphere to obligate employees taking part in it becomes weaker than before. I believe that the difficult time changed people's idea regarding the balance between personal life and work. Thank you for corrections that are helpful to me. Best regards, 5971mak Is it on New Year's day?
Teacher Ellie_P Thank you again for good thoughts. While the number of victims are elevating, emergency rescue teams have been saving lives from the rubble. Currently, the Japanese government concentrate putting all emergency authorities such as the police, coast guard, fire fighters, and the army to save lives, who are tackling to remove devastated houses from the buried. Their dedication worth receiving respect from citizens. As for nature nearby my residence, I am surrounded by the small mountain and hill. There were forest area around my house, so my family regularly goes to the greenery spaces. Nature is good for me to relieve my daily stress. I regularly have a fun time to visit the forest.

She has chosen the high school herself. Thank you for your prayer!
Teacher Ellie＿P Thank you for being so considerate that you pay attention to Japan. Everybody are surprised at sudden subsequent airplane crash at Tokyo Haneda airport. No one can imagine such tragedy happened on just the next day of the serious earthquake. According to TV news broadcast, a jumbo airplane were going to land on runway with 367 passengers. At the same time, a Japan coast guard middle size airplane, which were planned to transport emergency aids for the victims of the earthquake to our prefecture, were entering on the same runway. Airport control center instructed the coast guard airplane to stop at a stop-line before the runway. Despite the instruction, the official airplane entered in the runway, then the jumbo airplane hit the airplane. Flight recorder replicated that pilot of the official airplane may misunderstand the instruction unfortunately. As a result of these two disasters, there is any more happy atmosphere of the New Year in Japan. These incidents remind citizens of the thing that Japan is a land of disasters. More countermeasures to prevent natural disasters and human errors are necessary to stop such crucial dangers. Best regards, 5971mak
I haven't heard her scandal so far, so she might become the prime minister. I heard she was very smart.
Teacher Ellie_P Thank you for your kind wards for the current circumstance in our prefecture. After earthquake trembles have been continuing even now and authority expects that minor earthquakes need around a week to end. The Japanese government designated this eqrthquake as serious natural disaster, resulting in allocating emergency budget for emergency treatments. Local governments open evacuation centers to accept residents escaping from damaged areas. A lack of English proficiency is now a serious issue for Japanese young employees because companies frequently order them to go abroad to work in their foreign branches and factories. However, due to a lack of communication skill in english, many of them feel stressed and have difficulty continuing their tasks abroad. Considering their looming difficulties ahead of their future, the government should have strong leadership to raise English proficiency for students. Best regards, 5971mak
Thank you, as always. Unfortunately, X became a platform for the dissemination that this earthquake was artificially caused, etc. In 2011, Twitter was so helpful.
Thank you, as always. Wishing you and yours all the best in 2024.
We had the earthquake, but there was no fire in our city, so we are all right.
Teacher Ellie_P First, thank you for your thoughtfulness regrading the earthquake in our place. Our place didn't have victims but Wajima city, which is northern part of my prefecture, had a dozen of victims due to collapse of their houses. The number is anticipated to increase more unfortunately. Moreover, roads in my prefecture are damaged in many places. I avoid driving my vehicle to prevent accicents come from cracks of roads and a lot of cave-in roads. As my house is a flat house, I am not afraid of its collapse. So I will stay in my house for a week until local governments implement temporary measures. After authority will annouce that the current danger is mitigated, I will resume going out. Second, a current social norm is so pervasive that gender roles are still regarded as a social standard in Japan. As I have been keeping gender equality at home since 30 years ago, my colleagues, my relatives, and my friends thought my behavior is odd at some degree. Still such traditional custom is common, but the Japanese government should tackle changing this tradition to break the vicious cycle. The government should legislate obligation of doing household chores for everybody regardless of gender. Schools and teachers should instill students to have such new social norm for the future. Thank you for corrections that are helpful for me. Best regards, 5971mak
