Message from the instructor
My text correction will initially make corrections to grammar and spelling mistakes. There will also be focus on many other aspects of a text, for example achieving the required meaning with appropriate mood and nuance while respecting social and cultural aspects within the text. I will make comments on the use of phrases and expressions with regard to how appropriate they might be and give alternative suggestions. I have an honours degree in Modern Languages (English and French) and a TESOL post graduate teaching certificate with distinction. My style will, of course be helpful and friendly.

    Hello, Moss. Thank you so much. You always write me explanations on the comment box. They are very interesting and off course they help me to understand. Especially this time, "according to the report" and "reportedly" I thought they are same meaning, but they are not. I will use them differently. "enhance people's well-being" "instill" Those are interesting. See you. Yoko

    Hello, Moss. Your sentences teach me a lot. I like the sentence you wrote replacing my third sentence. "At the outset of the crisis, the people of Japan were fortunate in this regard." "at the outset of..." sounds good, and "in this regard"is added to make the context clear. On the fourth sentence, "mitigate" perfectly matches the meaning I wanted to say. Also,I like your choice, "resorting...." "Our community spirit saw social commitment that we should be proud of." I tried to find appropriate meaning of the word "saw" in dictionaries. it must be a past form of "see". I guess most likely definition I found is "to notice, examine, or recognize someone or something by looking" Your story of your school teacher is interesting. As for Japanese language, there are also a formal way and an informal way. I think language sometimes represents speaker's background. I am a 62 year-old woman and I am not young enough to use extreme casual expressions that teenagers love to use. Hopefully I want to use a decent English which fits me. Thank you so much. See you. Yoko

    Dear Mr Moss, Thank you for your advise. You are good at getting what I was going to say about overtime in Japan and I was happy that you seem to understand my point of view. It’s always challenging for me to express my opinion on today’s topic, and I’d like to keep writing as much as possible. I hope you’ll read my next essay soon. Thank you again. Best regards, guava56479

    Hello, moss. Yes, that's right. I always try hard to finalize an essay in the limit of one hundred words. WOW! You reviewed the last exercise of mine, and gave advice. When I write English, I intend to stay safe so, I am afraid to eliminate a word, but I will try. Thank you so much. the 2nd sentence this time "horrific death rate" sounds very horrific. "require a less judgmental view" adding this phrase makes the sentence much understandable. the 5th sentence You replaced "and" with "nor". I like it. "come at the expense of" you use "come" not "go". I speculate.... it is because it has already been happening, and not is to happen.the 5th sentence Among the teachers of IDIY, your corrections have quite high level of grammar and vocabularies. You give me nice opportunities of challenge. I appreciate it. See you. Yoko
