    Teacher Ellie_P Thank you for your kind words as always. I have no idea that banana peels are useful to make facial skin beauty. My knowledge about benefits of bananas are no fat and rich in dietary fiber, which are good for health. As I see YouTube videos of banana peels for removing acne spots and dark spots, I agree with the usage because of a content of vitamin C. It makes a sense that vitamin C in banana peels has an ability to remove acne spots and dark spots. Thank you for corrections that are helpful to me. Best regards, 5971mak

    Teacher Ellie_P Thank you for your kind words as always. My favorite fruits are bananas, apples, mangoes, and Japanese oranges. Particularly, bananas are the best because they are delicious, moderate calorie, and low price. Banana is one of the common fruits in Japan and available throughout the year. In addition, even if I regularly eat a piece of banana every meal, the amount of calorie is not high. The fruits make meals fun, so it makes a sense that they are essential and good for health. Thank you for corrections that are helpful to me. Best regards, 5971mak

    Teacher Ellie_P Thank you for kind words as always. Yes, I mean a crisis rine. In several decades, committing suicide has become a serious social issue in Japan because many Japanese companies dislocate their factories abroad. As a result, the demand of manufacturing workers drastically declined, resulting a huge number of workers lost their jobs. Many could find next jobs but their wages decreased than before. In addition, as available jobs in Japan has changed to more establishment workers such as restaurant workers, convenience store workers, logistic workers, sales reprentatives, and educational workers. However, these new businesses has brought employees a lot of mental stresses to raise work efficiency, comparing with factory workers. Consequently, the number of workers who are exhausted or burn-out are clearly increasing in Japan. Not only suicide but also reclusive life of young adults at home(secluded) while quitting their jobs are obvious in Japan nowadays. The number of them( called as "Hikikomori" in Japanese) are said to reach around one million and a half. Although local governments try to help them bounce back so that they can go out and work outside again. However, there are a lot of difficulties for them to be independent again. Counseling, vocational training, communication skill, and elevation of public awareness are essential to support those who are struggling at home alone. Since suicide is a catastrophic termination for one's life, governments should provide more help and budget for them. Thank you for corrections that are helpful to me. Best regards, 5971mak

    Teacher Ellie_P Thank you for kind words as always. I am also looking forward to exchanging thoughts with you. In my experience, having a strong motivation is the thing that individuals can keep their attractiveness. Although aging must erode our physical strength, it is possible that we can delay decline of mental performance while taking healthy tips such as good sleep, regular exercise, healthy diet, persistent learning, and having worth doing. In my case, brushing up my communication skill in English is the powerful energy that inspire myself. Maybe you don't believe that I was the person who was the bottom of English score in my high school grade, however I became a person who have enough English proficiency to communicate with people abroad. Everytime I write things what I want to mention in English, I could feel a lot of pleasure and happiness. I believe that such moments are strong fuel for me to study more and more. Currently, I cannot stop learning not only English but also the things related to my work. Therefore, I believe that having something worth doing is the most important thing for individuals to encourage themselves to grow more and more. To sum up, learning is the thing that people can change themselves, increase more happiness, and create a prosperous future. Thank you for your preference to Japan. I am happy to hear it, so I think that increase of proficient English speaker is one of my missions to stop the deterioration of Japanese society. Due to rapid aging, catastrophic future has been looming to us as a real threat. Without internationalization of Japan, the Japanese social security will surely go bunkrupt. I am trying to raise English proficiency to my sons and acquaintances to change the future. Although my attempt is tiny, I never give up doing the challenge for next generation. Thank you for corrections that are helpful to me. Best regards, 5971mak

    Teacher Eliie_P Thank you for correcting my sentences. I understand that I should have written 'a sense of noun' and 'luxury situation' instead of elegant atmosphere. Even if residents' amenity should be prioritized, three lifts for a couple is extravagant. I think it not to be allowed to do such excessive behavior just because they are very rich persons. In that case, I think that they should stay luxurious resort islands in which residents can't enter. Today, it is a fine day and a piled-up snow will gradually melt in Kanazawa. It becomes in a soothing atmosphere at some degree in a couple of days. Best regards, 5971mak

    Teacher Ellie_P I agree with the theme that is showed in the film Nyad the other day. I think that the film emphasizes the power of hope. Despite her repeated failures, she never giving up her ambition. While keeping her enthusiasm, she could have support from her surrounding people. Eventually, she has realized her dream. Her long-term challenges with a lot of effort can reveal the importance of having hope. That is why her story is impressive and fruitful to movie watchers. I am totally for her spirit that is the power of hope. I am also challenging to fulfill my life while spending time to learn new knowledge and practicing anti-aging. I am not a person who oppose plastic surgery, but I have no idea taking artificial beauty. Instead, I regurally practice having healthy diet and regular exercise for anti-aging so that I maintain to be active and productive. I understand that 'if there are chances related to them' is wrong grammatically and a bit vague. Thank you for corrections that are uesful to me. Best regards, 5971mak

    Teacher Ellie_P I understand that 'decent and humble thoughts' is not so correct grammatically. I should have written that 'explained well and modest(not obtrusive) thoughts'. Thank you for corrections that are helpful to me. Best regards, 5971mak

    Teacher Ellie_P Before I knew the issues regarding Japanese orphans left behind in China during World War 2, I opposed restrictions to control accepting foreign students in Japan. The orphans are caused with sad situations of Japanese citizens who lived in China in 1940's. When China defeated Japan Army in the war, Japanese civilians in China were forced to escape from persecution. During their run, many Japanese parents had difficulty accompanying their children, so they decided giving their children to Chinese residents who didn't have a child. After 30 years passed, when the orphans become adults, many hoped to go back to Japan because of economic prosperity. Given the importance of this orphane issue, the Japanese government decided accepting them into Japan while providing Japanese nationality. However, once they came to Japan, they already have their families and many brought their families. Subsequently, there were a lot of troubles between the orphan's people and Japanese residents. Lunguage barrier, and differences of culture and tradition had became obvious. No one could not find answers regarding this difficult situation yet. I believe that diversity should be realized to create prosperous society, but it is very difficult to practice in actual situations. In case of Japan, the first thing that Japanese governent have to do is to raise English proficiency among Japanese citizens. As the citizens will elevate English communication skill, they will know diversity and tolerance to those who have different thoughts and beliefs through the internet. Since drastic changes may lead to serious troubles, long time transformation is beneficial for newcomers and residents to realize diversified society. I anticipate that the restriction in Today's topic will naturally cause competition among applicants to be enrolled in the UK universities. Consequently, the applicants have to be familiar with the UK society while making a effort. Such circumstance will contribute foreigners to have more respect to the UK. On the other hand, the regurations will provide a sense of relief to the UK's residents because they don't have to worry rapid increase of foreign students. In the long period of time, gradual diversification is practical not to cause squables and animosity in communities. Therefore, I believe that this kind of restrictions are justified to create diversified society. Thank you for corrections that are helpful to me. Best regards, 5971mak
