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.

    I appreciate your kind words. You always motivate me. I am looking forward to reading your correctiona and comments every day. I would like to continue my study although I am busy with my work now. I am always pleased every time you mention your interest in Japan. I think Japanese and Chinese are among the most difficult languages to learn due to the difficulty of Chinese characters. I think Chinese characters are inefficient letter sysyem compared to alphabet (there are 2000 Chinese characters in Japanese!). However, if you learn those characters, you will find their shapes are expressing the things they mean. It may be interesting to imagine the ancient Chinese coined the characters one by one.

You always understand very well what I try to say. Thank you very much. I will send my writing work soon. Thank you. Have a lovely weekend:) Kyoko

    Thank you for your detailed explanation and kind words. I am surprised to hear that you can pick and eat fresh strawberries in the UK too! It make me imagine that British childern are playing there as John Lennon sang in the Beatles' number "Strawberry Fields Forever". In Japan, most strawberries are grown in greenhouses, so it is impossible for children to play in strawberry fields. The weather is getting warm here in Japan too. In this season, we start to look forward to blooming cherry blossoms. In the end of March, we will enjoy seeing cherry blossoms in bloom. I hope you can also enjoy your weekend. Best wishes,

    Dear Ms. Julia Vivian, Thank you very much for your encouraging words. You always motivate me. To tell you the truth, I lived and worked in Tohoku region, where the big earthquake hit in 2011, until a few years ago. I also lived in Fukushima prefactute once. When the Fukushima nuclear power plant started to melt down, I realized that the nuclear power is beyond our ability and we shouldn't have tried to use it. Also, after I saw the tsunami drstruct almost everything on its path, the coast areas, I felt from the bottom of my heart that we human beings are only tiny existence in the face of the natural power. We must not think we can control the earth, otherwise we will get dreadful payback from the earth. I hope also you have a good day. I am looking forward to working with you again too! With best wishes, Mitsuhiro Haga

    Dear Ms. Julia Vivian, Thank you for always being nice to me. Just like most Japanese people, I am good at reading English. Actually, I got full marks in the reading section of TOEFL. However, I am not good at making expressions in English. My weak points are the speaking and the writing sections. Since I started learning with IDIY, I feel my English is improving little by little thanks to you. I would like to continue my effort furthermore. I hope I will tell you a good score one day.

    Dear Ms. Julia Vivian, Thank you very much for your considerate words as usual. Fortunately, the snow was not so heavy and it has been getting warmer in these two days. I took a TOEFL test the other day. I got 95 out of 120 in the test. I was a little disappointed because I aimed for the score of over 100. I feel my English is improving thanks to you and other IDIY teachers. I would like to study hard and make sure to get the target score next time!

    Dear Ms. Julia Vivian, Thank you very much for correcting my English. I look forward to seeing your comments every time. I am really impressed with hearing about your experience as a teacher in a deprived area. I am convinced that your experience as a teacher is the reason why you have excellent skill of not only teaching but also motivating us. Today, we had snow in Tokyo. We were assured that it was not so heavy because Tokyo is also a city which is not accustomed to snow. I hope you also have a good weekend. Best wishes, Mitsuhiro Haga
