    Thanks for correcting my writing this time as well. Our department need to be changed our situation because of the big event! Also, I learn how to use "had better" correctly. Thank you, and have a nice day.

    Dear Ms. Marisa, Thank you very much for showing me how to express things happening in Japan in English based on your experiences in Japan. That was very interesting to know! Also, I learned many new, natural expressions. I noted them because they sound sophisticated and very nice. Please keep warm because it seems like that the spring has just started over there.

    Thank you so much for your corrections and explanations! According to the 1st sentence, I learned the word "tiptoe." We can say "walk on one's tiptoes" and use it as a verb too. I will use this word in the next chance. According to the 3rd sentence, I learned the difference between "to grow" and "to grow up." I will use them properly in the next challenge. Best regards.

    Thank you so much for your corrections and explanations! According to the 3rd sentence, I learned the phrases; "to have a hard time doing" and "it is hard to do." I will use them correctly in the next challenge. By the way, yes, we could buy a dining table we all liked! It will come to our house soon, and we're looking forward to using it. Best regards.

    Thank you for your review and thoughtful message. I usually use web dictionaries and search engines to write any English documents but I sometimes realize that I could use easier phrases or synonyms. I am going to keep learning!

    Thank you very much for your review. Actually, I wanted to express the situation like "when I would like to buy potato chips, I need to try finding my favorite one into such a crowded area and I need to wait to look at items on a shelf too.". Therefore, your understanding is correct. thanks for trying getting the meaning. I will try to write clear English more!

    Thank you for the review! Actually, one of my mistakes (it) did not forget to write. I completely misunderstood that it can be omitted. I will try understanding deeply English writing!
