    Yes, after I eat a lot of chocolate, I put my dog on my lap and stroke him. It's soothing.

    Teacher Ellie_P Thank you for kind words as always. The most likely explanation of surname "Sato" is that it is used to represent the descendants of military commanders who were active during the Heian period(794-1185). The exact reason for this is still unclear. It is said that about 2 million people use the name nowadays. Due to its generality, I also have three friends who have surname "Sato". Thank you for corrections that are useful to me. Best regards, 5971mak

    Thank you for reviewing my composition. I learned there are several ways to express a similar concepts thanks to your suggestions: values and mentality, status and class , virtue signaling and moral exhibitionism. Rephrasing words makes me understand the content much deeper. I also didn’t know cloths means just rag. I will be careful to correctly spell “clothes” next time!

    Teacher Ellie_P Thank you for kind words as always. Sweet potatoes are very popular such as dried sweet potetoes, sweet potato cakes, sweet potato candies, sweet potato tart, and roasted sweet potatoes. In winter, people can see stalls which sell roasted sweet potatoes on street corners. This is a familiar scene in Japan. Citizens can enjoy the delectable hot snack while walking. Delicious food can make people feel happy, so it is essential for them to be active in daily life. Let's have more delicious food, shall we. 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 "among" and "confirm that". When thinking smart birds, I think that it is a crow. They are said to learn, communicate, and work in a group. Birds are thought to have only little intelligence, but such thought may be human hubris. It is common to see birds fleeing en masse before an earthquake occurs, so they may have a special ability to predict earthquakes. Thank you for corrections that are useful to me.

    Teacher Ellie_P Thank you for kind words as always. It is always difficult for women to have a good work-life balance, especially, in the days when women were considered to be the ones doing the housework. However, when it comes to aging society, double breadwinners are more beneficial for couples than a single earner in a household. No one can forecast who suffer from serious illnesses and accidents. Therfore, two earners are helpful for couples if a spouse cannot work. They can help each other and teach their children the importance of gender equality. I believe that when women and men play an equal role in society, more people can feel happy and a society that accepts diversity will develop more than a patriarchal society. Thank you for corrections that are useful to me. Best regards, 5971mak

    Teacher Ellie_P Thank you for kind words as always. Unfortunately, Japan cannot escape from yellow sand due to creation of the dust in China desert and westerlies which bring the fine particles to Japan. As a result of the meteorological circumstance, it is annual event for Japanese people to have the yellow dust. It makes us feel the power of nature, just like climate crisis. 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 'authorities' is commonly used when talking about people in power. In general, feminine and masculine are formed by environment, not in nature. Some people say it makes sense that male and female have different gender roles. At the time when physical labor was common, such thought might be reasonable. However, as civilization has developed, manual labor becomed outdated and people should change accepting gender-free society. Thank you for corrections that are helpful to me. Best regards, 5971mak

    Teacher Ellie_P Thank you for kind words as always. According to academic reserches, the result revealed that Tokyo has a big possibility of strong earthquake in the future. Scientists concluded that the possibility reaches 70% in these three decades. The conclusion is so astonished that no one can find countermeasures. The sole thing people can do is moving governmental agencies in different places. If the government relocated its ministries, current state of over-population in Tokyo would be mitigated and reduce the future damages. Thank you for corrections that are useful to me.

    Think your for your review, my composition became a much better version that expresses exactly what I wanted to say. The expression “ it is high time that~” can be used in many different occasions, so I would like to try to use it another essay. I thought the working environment overall in Europe is better than that in Japan. I didn’t know we have similar problems. The same international companies has expanded all over the world, so I think that our situations surrounding internet shopping and delivery business are very similar. Thank you for very helpful suggestions!

    Teacher Ellie_P Thank you for kind words as always. I understand that I should have put "somewhat" before the adjectives. It is difficult for me to memorize proper portion of adverb in a sentences, but I would try to memorize. As for baseball, it is the most popular sports in Japan. Although other sports like soccer, volleyball, and basketball becomes common than before, baseball still attracts many people. In particular, Mr.Ohtani is said to be the best player in the U.S. because he can play not only an excellent pitcher but also one of the homerun kings. No one can achieve such a great feat ever. That is the reason why he becomes a superstar in the countries where baseball is popular. Thank you for corrections that are helpful to me. Best regards, 5971mak

    Teacher Ellie_P Thank you for kind words as always. It is notorious that truck drivers get low wages such as 25,000 euros annually including bonus. In addition, drivers have to load and unload parcels by themselves. To avoid traffic congestion, many drivers drive their trucks at night after 8 p.m. or early in the morning around 4 a.m. Many drivers naturally end up working night shifts or early morning shifts, resulting in suffering from high blood pressure and diabetes that may cause stroke and heart attacks. I think that the Japanese government should make a law to raise their minimal annual income so that drivers will take more day off to promote a good health. Currently, due to their low salary, many of them are forced to work long hours to compensate for their low wages. It is said that drivers work about 10 hours a day, and it is normal for drivers to work 2 to 3 hours of overtime each day. Therefore, wage increase is essential to help the drivers improve their circumstance while reducing overtime work. Thank you for corrections that are useful to me. Best regards, 5971mak
