    Thank you for your quick reply, and I apologized late appreciation. I was shameful for your tolerance to my mistakes. I’d like to have no errors in English grammar. Kind regards,

    Dear Ms. Julia Vivian, Thank you very much for your revision for my English description. I heard that some Japanese chocolate companies started a promotion which prompted girls to give chocolate to the men they like on Valentine's day fifty years ago. Since Japanese people had no knowledge about Valentine's day in those days, they believed that it was the true custom of Valentine's day. Chocolate companies have made huge profit from this promotion since then. A half of the annual sales of chocolate is made around the season of Valentine's day.

    Dear Ms. Julia Vivian, Thank you very much for your revision for my English description of a photograph. I didn't know the true meaning of the word "relic". I hope you have a great weekend. Best wishes

    Dear Julia Vivian, Thank you very much for your correction and kind message! I'm always encouraged by your message. I like this kind of "from pinch to chance" stories. When I visited a small island that used to be a penal colony, I saw a nice copy on a brochure for tourists. It says; "Because Sado (the name of the island) was a place where many people were exiled from the capital city of Japan, so the latest and finest culture was brought to us." I was fascinated by this optimistic phrase. Today, it is raining in Tokyo, but this is also a sign that spring is here! We hardly have a rainy weather in winter. I hope you have a nice day! Best regards, Ayako Nara

    Dear Julia Vivian, Thank you very much for your correction and kind message! The worst experience of reading novels was "Wuthering Heights" for decades ago. I didn't have any clue of the landscape of moor, the design of their costumes or what their houses were like. Unfortunately, I was not diligent enough to go to the library to research, so Catherine lived in an old apartment-like house that had windows with anluminum sash. The faded orange colored carpet that might remind people back in 70's was on the floor and the fireplace that I had never seen was flat and blur. Moor was like a parking lot in countryside. Years later, I was amazed to see the  Ralph Fiennes' version of Wuthering Heights. Again, I appreciate your encouraging support as always. Best regards, Ayako Nara

    I found a mistake at the third sentence. Please let me correct this. Nevertheless, despite any conveniences, I probably will dismiss these helps a few years later, because a company management has to keep helps in order to proceed well, but a private citizen “do not” requires them, especially me. “Do not” were missing. That make sense. I always appreciate your help.

    Dear Julia Vivian, Thank you very much for your correction and encouraging message! I'm very glad to be understood. There was an another case. In a novel, a main character noticed that his best friend, let's call him A, had also a crush on the same woman whom he loved. Then he asked the woman's mother for a permission of getting married to the woman before A takes any action. A knew his friend's betrayal and the loss of his love then committed a suicide. After that, the main charactor suffered remorse whole his life. My Chinese students who didn't understand their feelings said; "They didn't have enough communication.They should have talked face to face." Yes, everybody knows that their opinon is perfectly correct. Again, I really appreciate your help as always! Best wishes, Ayako Nara

    Dear Julia Vivian, Thank you very much for your correction and encouraging message! As you know, corona virus has been spreading all over Japan. Some Chinese students insist on closing the school like Chinese government does in China. However, those students' attendance rate is very low in general. We doubt that they only want to have a vacation. Diligent students have never complained. The funny thing is that only popular teachers are worried about losing their job if we cannot accept new Chinese students in April. Less popular teachers have never been worried to be laid off. It is an interesting phenomenon. Again, I really appreciate your help as always! Best regards, Ayako Nara
