I did not know there is such a big dispute between Greece and the British museum, but I have visited both places and they are good memories to me!
Thank you for your wonderful correction. I was surprised that you understood what I wanted to tell very well. My original sentences lacked many descriptions. You revised it in details. I could learn a lot of new expressions from you!
Hi teacher Ellie, Thank you for searching Akita ! Yes it snows a lot, about 30 cm everyday. The first thing we do in the morning is to shovel the snow and we're tired even before going to work ! Still I love my hometown ! Thank you always and take care

Dear Ellie Thank you for correcting my writing. I was surprised to know that people have four names in Spain. In Japan, we write our last name fast, and first name second; and we can have only one last name and one first name. Furthermore, when we get married, we have to choose one last name from husband's or wife's; in most cases, they choose husband's last name. It is quite interesting to know different customes. Please have a wonderful day. Masako
Hello Ellie, Thank you for your kind explanation and correction! It helps me a lot. I will try to use “;” next time.

Thank you very much for your detailed feedback as always and really appreciate your suggestion that I need to study modal perfect more. I feel that my English is missing something too-especially complicated grammars. I sense that this is because I did not have to take the entrance exam of the university. It is said the scope of English test of it covers 95% of English grammars. However those who took the entrance exam could not speak English, because there are no speaking test. On the other hand, although I did not have the opportunity to study English deeply, I had to speak it while I worked for foreign investment banks. This background has kept me speaking plain English. I chose to study at IDIY because I wanted to break through it. I might have been difficult for me to do it while working, but I thought I can do it during maternity leave. Your constructive feedback would be always appreciated!
