Message from the instructor
I enjoy reading a variety of literature and have a good eye for style, spelling and correct grammar. I aim to help customers achieve a final text that is completely free of any errors in this regard. If there are no corrections to be made, I will offer suggestions on style, register (i.e. whether the customer is using an appropriate tone in their language) and 'flow' of the text (i.e. does it read fluently and is there a good progression between the ideas that are written about). I am highly enthusiastic about good English, but m also conscious that the customer's own style and character in their writing should not be subsumed by mine. As such, apart from any obvious amendments that will need to be made in terms of corrections, I offer suggestions rather than directions, in terms of making the text read as best as the customer desires.

    It is difficult to come up with a sentence like "Many people in developing countries ~、more advanced countries ~". I hope I can get the sense as I continue to learn writing English. Thank you!

    Thanks for lots of suggestions for my diary! The suggestion of the use of the words such as ‘taste’ and ‘milieu’ was especially helpful. Another suggestion of making sentences in simple way gave me lots of learning. I hope to work with you again soon!

    Dear Mr. Rich-hugo, Thank you for your detailed explanation. I always think that English grammar is so complicated that it is impossible to master it all by myself, so your support is very helpful. With kind regards
