Announcements: Hi everyone, I hope you all are keeping well. I will be temporarily unavailable for family reasons later this week, but be back next week and hope to hear from you then. I always enjoy you sharing your thoughts with me. Have a great positive time and stay happy and healthy. Best regards Joyce.
Hobbies/Travel: I have many hobbies, including caring for my cats and dogs, gardening, fishing and bush walking. I presently live in the far South East of South Australia in a National Park area among the kangaroos and koalas, also near the beach, where I go whale watching. I have lived in Scotland, England and Australia. I love traveling and have also been to several overseas places, including Malaysia and New Zealand. I have stayed in most Australian states and visited, the Great Barrier Reef, Cairns, Townsville, Magnetic Island, The Great Ocean Road, Sydney and Coffs Harbour, Melbourne and Adelaide. My favorite country would be Scotland, because I was born there and belong to the clan Gunn. My ancestors include the vikings and Olaf the Black especially.
Message from the instructor: I do three things when I correct a customer's text:- Firstly, I let the writer know exactly which aspects of the text were well written. Giving recognition for good skills will give the writer encouragement to keep doing the right things with their writing. Secondly, I give quality and accurate correction with clear explanations, so the writer can see what may need to be changed and why it will be more naturally English to make the changes. Thirdly, I provide the writer with examples and ideas to improve their writing in a kind and gentle manner, so they will not have hurt feelings or become discouraged in their writing, but rather be uplifted and keen to improve and grow in their understanding and knowledge of the English language. This means both simple natural alternatives and complex expressions with idiomatic sayings can be requested. Every writer is very special to me, and every piece of writing will be treated with the respect and accurate care it deserves to have. I have been helping many students, both young people still in schools as a teacher and more mature adult students at the university for over 40 years. My knowledge of accuracy in business letters and correspondence is excellent, as I have also worked in accounting for manufacturing businesses with a strong customer focus. I believe in building trust and respect between us, so I can help you to reach your full potential and achieve your best.

Dear Joyce, Thank you for your advice. It always takes me much time to write compositions, but now I am glad that you gave me some compliments. I also have learned something important from your writing tips. Thank you so much! It is getting colder in Japan. It is getting hotter in Australia? Maybe you are enjoying whale watching. I envy you! Please take care of yourself, and have a wonderful day! Best regards, rosemary

Hello Joyce, Thank you for reading and correcting my diary. I'm happy to move to Thailand. My previous boss told me that I can get students visa if I enroll the English class and the fee is around 2,000 to 40,000 baht. It depends on the school. I thought if I teach Japanese, maybe I need more general and academic English skills. When I improve these skills, I will teach the students as you do. Have a good evening, Joyce. Warmest regards, Mayuchiii

Hi Joyce, I hope you are well. Yes, you are right. If I would tell her don't leave me alone, maybe we stay together. I have two ideas, one is that It's better to ask her to stay with me, it's safe for me. The other one is that I should independent. This is not such a big deal, "Independent". Mari has purposes of her visit. At first, I don't have any purpose...Just she asked me to go to Europ and spend a Christmas holiday. I thought I should visit some uni and better to think my further. Now I don't know what I want to do after graduating from uni and what should I major at uni. Have a wonderful week ahead! Warmest Regards, Mayuchiii
