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.

    Thank you so much for your corrections and explanations! According to the 1st sentence, I learned the word "aquarium." According to the 2nd sentence, I learned the phrase "end up -ing." I think it's a good idea to use he/she for our pet. My crab may be female, but I don't know :) Best regards.

    Dear Teacher DewiCodex san Thank you very much for your kind and detailed corrections. I'm very glad and honored to read your description saying "I could see that you have improved immensely from last time." > There are a lot of phrases in English that go together such as 'public health system' and 'private health insurance', so we do not use 'public insurance' = I see. It is difficult to use technical terms correctly because each nation has a different social system. I'm interested in the fact that you do not use ' public insurance'. 'Insurance ' goes together with 'private', while in Japan, there are some 'public insurance systems'. I think this is a historical consequence. About one hundred and fifty years ago, after the warship diplomacy by Perry from USA, Japan imported a lot of social systems of western style with an attempt to revise the unfair treaties with the western countries. At the first step at that time, almost every imported systems were run by the government. Therefore, there still remains some 'public insurances' even now. I'm sorry to tell you a long story. Please take it as a ridiculous aside, which is my good chance to use English. Best regards, ie1133 ///////

    Dear Teacher DewiCodex san Thank you for your reply to my question. Now I think I understand the difference between "effect" as a noun and "affect "as a verb. > I would recommend beginning an answer composition by referring to its question, =I see. >if it means a reason that have to do with general education then it is 'an educational reason'. = This time, this is what I meant to say. An addiction to eSports is unhealthy. An educational consideration. >I remove the clause 'for us' because it is implied in the sentence who is the intended receivers. =I understand. I've never imagined this. >English has a monstrous vocabulary, = I see. I'm planning to get a thesaurus dictionary. >we are in our fourth industrial revolution at the moment  = I see. You are right. My knowledge hasn't been updated. Far in the past, I got the knowledge, which said the first one was a mechanical and analog revolution, the second was a computerized and digital revolution. Thank you again, ie1133 ………
