Dear Ellie Thank you for wonderful editing my subject. I will be practicing how to use the Present Perfect Continuous. I am pleased to hear that you are doing well and the lockdown will be eased. I have been to Madrid when I was a university student, and I had a great time there. I hope you can spend more time getting out and stay healthy. Best, michikyo
Hi teacher Ellie ! Thank you for your message ! I admire you for taking on the challenge of learning another language ! Yes, learning languages is very fascinating since languages can be communication tools but also as a tool to further understand the cultures behind ! Thank you always ! Sawa
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!

Dear Ellie Thank you very much for kind comment. When I got on the subway in London about 20 years ago, I didn't know that the trains in foreign countries were not punctual; I got on the wrong train and it caused a big problem for me. It's a good memory now. Please have a lovely weekend. Masako
