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 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

    Thank you for your detailed explanation and alternate expressions as always. I am also always thankful for your kind words. As you mentioned about snow, I checked the BBC website. I find the heavy snowfall is hitting the UK now. I hope the situation would not get worse than it is now. Please take good care of yourself.

    I always appreciate your revisions and considerate comments. The photos of Devon is also really beautiful (thank you Google!). Now, I have a lot of places where I want to go in the UK. To tell the truth, I have not so many travel experiences. It is virtually impossible for me to take a long vacation now. I hope I will be able to enjoy traveling someday.

    Thank you for your detailed explanation as usual. I am always grateful for your revisions and comments. I am surprised to hear that the paternity leave in the UK is only two weeks. Women in the UK is much more active in terms of working in society than Japan. It may take time to change the social system even in the country whose prime minister is female.

    I am sorry for being late to send you stars. This is because something is wrong with my smartphone application of IDIY and I cannot send teachers stars or comments from it. I am writing this comment from the web page. The web page is not so user-friendly but I have no choice. It is also freezing cold here in Japan but I kmow the UK is much colder than Japan. I hope you will take good care of yourself. Spring is just around the corner and I hope it will come soon.

Have a lovely weekend. Best wishes, Kyoko

    Please do not apologize. Your revisions and alternative expressions are really useful for me. I am always impressed your teaching skill. I would like to study correct English. Please teach me subtle differences of words as ever. By the way, "Wordsworse" was a terrible mistake. I think it was due to the auto correct app in my smartphone. Still, I should have reviewed my composition much carefully. To tell you the truth, I have never been to the UK, although I have always been admiring its culture. The itinerary in today's composition is my wish. If I may ask, could you tell me some of your recommendations? I hope I can go there in near future.

I didn't know that ’Downton Abbey’ which be used English is the ordinary English you speak. Thank you for your information. I really like Downtown Abbey as much as I have DVDs. I will continue to do writing work hard. I will send my work again soon. Thank you. Have a nice day. Best wishes Kyoko
