Travel is my passion! I love travelling, other cultures and languages. I have been to many European countries, North America, Africa, the middle east, Singapore and Thailand.

Message from the instructor
I am thorough and pay attention to detail. I like to suggest different ways of phrasing sentences in English. I aim to pass on as much knowedge about English as is possible through text correction. I like to be helpful, positive and encouraging.

    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

    Dear Ms. Julia Vivian, Thank you so much for always revising my English description. I didn't know the word "dinghy". I searched the word in the Internet, and I understood what the word describes. I am considering taking English conversation lessons. Since I have been so busy and my work shift is so irregular, I cannot take any regular class so far. However, I am going to be transferred to a less demanding position from this April. I might be able to spare enough time to study English conversation. Although I scored a good result in the writing section of Eiken, I am far from being fluent in writing English. I am going to continue studying English writing with IDIY! Best wishes

    Dear Ms. Julia Vivian, Thank you so much for your revision for my English description. I have been very busy since the beginning of February, so I haven't have enough time to study English these days. However, I have a good news for you. I passed the English exam called Eiken that I took the other day! My score was beyond my expectation, especially the score of the writing section was so good. It's all thanks to you. As I told you before, I only took the first part of the test. I am going to take the speaking part of the test two weeks later. I hope I will be able to do my best! Best wishes, Mitsuhiro Haga
