I regret that I didn't go back to Osaka to see my dog then in spite of my mother's advice.
Teacher Ellie_P Thank you for kind words as always. I understand that I shoud have written " The authorities should tackle the situation of low birth rate. By the way, the day before yesterday, Tokyo metropoolitan goverment anounced that the birth rate of Tokyo in 2023 was 0.99, which declined under 1. It was very shocking news to many Japanese. The number means that some amount of couples gave up starting their families. According to the news report, heavy financial burden for a child result in such conclusion among the couples. Due to less competitiveness of Japanese workers, young couples are said to have difficulty having better forecast in their future. Consequently, they choose having pets like dogs as an alternative option. It is a sad situation for them. The Japanese government should increase support to help the couples who want to start their families without financial anxieties and worries. Thank you for corrections that are helpful to me.

Teacher Ellie_P Thank you for kind words as always. I understand that I should have written "there will the price to pay". By the way, I worry that the young rely on the internet and AI too much because information, knowledge, and sugestion are not always reliable. They should raise literacy how to get along with digital information. While becoming wiser, we should pay attention to sustenability of current circumstances. To prevent the deterioration of enveronment, it is urgent for us to tranform our society eco-friendly so that I believe that human beings can continue prosperous situation with AI. Thank you for corrections that are helpful to me. Best regards, 5971mak
Teacher Ellie_P Thank you for kind words as always. I am sorry for the trouble that your friend was involved in. Japan has very few immigrants, so they are not very aware of the importance of differences in customs. When one causes a trouble to someone, it is considered normal to visit again with a set of sweets to apologize. This is a kind of private compensation. In addition, I think the pregnant woman would have said that it was okay and not to worry about it. Japanese people always give ostensible replies that are different from their true feelings. This is also one of the customs in Japan. However, these unwritten rules are not stipulated by law, so it is very difficult for foreigners to understand. In Japan, the number of foreign immigrants will surely increase in the future, so diversity education about these differences in customs is essential and should be done by the Japanese government. By the way, I also like dogs. After I retire my job, I have a plan to have a dog as a friend of mine. Thank you for corrections that are useful to me. Best regards, 5971mak
Teacher Ellie_P Thank you for kind words as always. I usually refer to the recommendations of various medical societies. As Japan ages, the Japanese government has repeatedly encouraged people to prevent illness by improving their lifestyle. As a result, medical societies disseminate various health information to the general public. As long as they follow that information, they will not be cheated by false information. I always gather information about healthy eating and regular exercise. My diet content is almost similar to the Mediterranean diet that consists of seafood, vegetables, nuts, and fruits. Thank you for corrections that are useful to me. Best regards, 5971mak
TeacherEllie_P Thank you for kind words as always. At first, I understand that I should have written "they will not help・・・" or "No one will help・・・." By the way, as for the incident that your friend collided a pregnant woman, Japanese people are taught from an early age to do the same behaviors and attitudes as everyone else. Parents instill in their children that they must not bother others. And parents teach them that if they cause troubles for others, they should go and apologize again with a gift (a sweet snacks worth about 5,000 yen). Although it is not written down, this is one of the traditional customs in Japan. Did your friend who bumped into the pregnant woman go and apologize again with such a gift? If she did not, she may sue the your friend out of spite. Especially when your friend is a foreigner, people may feel that they are an outsider and sue the person. Japan is still lacking in internationalization and diversity. The Japanese government should have classes about diversity education in school curriculum. Thank you for corrections that are helpful to me. Best regards, 5971mak
Thank you for your prayer for my father! I'm going back to Osaka during my daughter's summer holidays.
Thank you for your feedback. I really love your teaching style as you offer me a lot of alternative phrases. Keyboards used in Japan are similar to those in Western countries. We type Japanese words using Romaji, specific combinations of alphabets, and then hit the space key, by which the words written in Romaji turn to Kanji, Hiragana, or Katakana. There are many Kanji that have the same pronunciation, so we hit the space key repeatedly until the right Kanji is shown.
Teacher Ellie_P Thank you for kind words as always. I understand that I should have written 'one of the most difficult countries.' Thank you for corrections that are useful to me. Best regards, 5971mak
Dear Ellie_P, Thank you for correcting my writing as always! I agree with you that the noise is very irritating, so I only use it when I am out. I look forward to learning more from you! Best regards, Sae
Teacher Ellie_P Thank you for kind words as always. I understand that I should write 'I am on board with' as a cliché phrase and "practical." Thank you for corrections that are helpful to me. Best regards, 5971mak
Teacher ellie_P Thank you for kind words as always. I understand that I shoukd have written 'to want to eat'. By the way, in general, it is said that focusuing on delicious meal is effective to reduce overeaitng. So, health workers don't recommend that people eat meals while watching TV. On the other hand, listening to relaxing music while having your food is effective in preventing overeating. Hence, I think that when ones want to avoid overweight, they should listen to relaxing music during meal times. I also listen to my favorite songs during meal time to enjoy delicious taste of dishes. Thank you for corrections that are useful to me. Best regards, 5971mak
Teacher Ellie_P Thank you for kind words as always. I had tooth issues for the duration of my elementary and junior high school because I liked eating sweat treats. Consequently, almost everu year I visited dentists to treat dental caries. During this time, having good dental hygiene was not common yet, so it is common for people that they visit dentists after suffering from tooth decay. However, as population ages, healthy tooth was strongly emphacized to make the elderly healthy by the Japanese government. Little by little, the trend has expanded to middle-age, adults, and young adults. Now, an oral health promotion, which is that ones maintain 20 tooth until at the age of 80), is widely recognized to have a good health . Without healthy tooth, elderly people commonly have problems in biting food items. After I recognized the importance of healthy tooth at the age of 16, I regularly pay attention to keep my oral environment clean while brushing my tooth after every meal. Although the habit is somewhat nuisance, I can prevent dental caries. Thank you for corrections that are useful to me. Best regards, 5971mak
It seems that Mrs. Chatterjee vs Norway hasn't been released yet in Japan. I'll wait for it.
I looked for Mrs. Chatterjee vs. Norway, but I couldn't find the Japanese title of this movie.
