Hello again, Moss, Thank you for the corrections and the kind explanation. "anytime soon" just sounds familiar to me. Actually, I didn't know it well, thank you. It's the coldest time in a year in Japan. I complain the weather. The coldness makes me forget the severe heat we experienced in the last summer. My resolution for 2026 is, I will never change plans I scheduled due to bad weather. Last summer, I made the hot weather a convenient reason to chancel what I was supposed to do. But, looking around, I saw young people were jogging on the street under the heat. They didn't give up. I'm not young like them, but I shouldn't surrender to global warming. I like your positive thinking. take care, and see you next time. I'm looking forward to hear from you again.
Thank you, as always.
Hi,Moss, How are you doing? I'm happy to have you, too. I make the same mistakes many times, hyphenated words, thank you. "segregated from" is new word to me, meaning 'to separate one group of people from others, or to separate people into several groups' You explained the details of 'prefer'. It's interesting, but hardly find the details in dictionary. It's very useful information, thank you. When the huge earthquake hit Chile , you were there!! must be terrified! It was magnitude 8.8 and claimed many people's lives. The earthquake in my daughter-in-law's story wasn't big. Nobody died. But, she was panicked. Maybe, her maternal instinct told her to get away from the building. Actually, she could have stayed at the room. The next day she had heavy muscular pain on the legs. Now, it's a funny story in my family. See you next time Yoko
Hello Moss, I'm glad to know you are doing fine. Thank you for the corrections you made on my writing. I found the noun "seismologist" in a dictionary and used it. Of course, I didn't know the adjective "subterranean", and even such a word exists, thank you. You wrote me "The weather is warming up nicely here in the UK: it's nice to be out in the sunshine." in the message. The weather in Japan is quite different from the one in UK. This week, we have had very hot days, at some place, like Osaka and Kyoto, marked a record high temperature as of June. Thermometer of the taxi I took in Osaka read 39°c (102.2°f). Actually it's terrible to be out in the sunshine. I understood that the global warming is real. See you next time, Yoko
Thank you, as always.
Hello, Moss, I'm glad to hear from you again. It's great that we both have been fine. Thank you for the corrections you made on my essay. I enjoy reading your sentences. You said " some of my changes are in the way we might naturally express ourselves", that's what I really want to know. Thank you. This time the topic is quite serious, and I was afraid of my opinion being sad and excessively negative. Anyway,, it's beautiful day, today, blue sky, nice weather, flower blooming, fresh greeneries. It's my favorite season in a year. We can find many many good things around us. See you next time, Yoko
