Thank you, as always, for helping me expand the range of expressions I can use. I already knew the word "refrain," but seeing "refrain from cooperating" used in this context was a real eye-opener. I thought, "Oh, so that's how I can use it!" It really clicked for me, and I was very happy because it felt like I was turning vocabulary I already knew into something I could actually use. As for the game theory point, I left out the details because of the word limit. More precisely, what I meant was: "In a prisoner's-dilemma-type situation, the most rational decision is to refrain from cooperating." Thank you again for your helpful feedback! Best, Tomo_0111
Thank you very much for your detailed feedback. I found your comments especially helpful in understanding the difference between conversational and more formal writing. Your explanation of “has suffered from it” and “has been suffering from it” was also very useful, especially the idea that the present perfect connects a past experience to the present. I also learned a lot from expressions such as “diligence with his treatment” and “project into the future.” As for the style I would like to work on, I think semi-formal writing would suit me best. I would like my English to sound natural and conversational, but still appropriate for written English. When there is a useful difference, I would be happy to see both a conversational version and a slightly more formal version. Thank you again for your thoughtful feedback.
Thank you very much for your detailed feedback. Your point about making the connection between foreign workers and investment in labor-saving technologies more explicit was specially helpful. I can see that “innovation” was too broad for what I wanted to say. I also found your suggestion about playing devil’s advocate useful, and I would like to try that structure in a future essay. Thank you again, and I hope you have a great weekend too.
Thank you very much for your detailed feedback. Your explanation of “which” was especially helpful. I now understand that, in my original sentence, “which” could be interpreted as referring to “the scenery” rather than to the action of looking into the distance. I also learned a lot from your suggestion to use “so” instead of “and,” because it makes the cause-and-effect relationship much clearer. These two points were especially useful for me, and I’ll keep them in mind in my future writing. Thank you again for your encouraging comments and clear explanations.
Thank you very much for your detailed feedback. I learned a great deal from it. What struck me most was your suggestion about which sentence could work better as the introduction. It really opened my eyes to the importance of thinking not only about what to write, but also about where to place each sentence for maximum effect. Interestingly, many of the points you raised are actually very similar to the advice I give my own subordinates when I review their writing at work. However, when I write in English, I somehow forget to apply those same principles to my own writing. Your feedback made me suddenly realize that. Thank you again. Your comments were extremely helpful and gave me a new perspective on my English writing.
Thank you for your feedback. You are right. Many Japanese workers work overtime, but they often do not work very hard during their regular hours. They could work more effectively and go home earlier. As always, tour detailed explanations were easy to follow, and the alternative sentences you shared were very useful!
Thank you for your feedback. I saw news about wildfires in Madrid. Are you and your loved ones are safe? I also worried about wildlife that may have lost home. As always, your detailed explanations were easy to follow, and the alternative sentences you shared were useful. In particular, the words "next to none," "fall behind on their payments," and "a microcosm of society," were very interesting to learn. Thank you again!
Thank you very much for correcting my composition, even though you are very busy!
Stay hydrated to overcome the terrible weather!
I really appreciate you and your friend praying for my daughter.
I imagine that your son and his girlfriend had many stories of their trip.
I like camomile tea, but I didn't know it's good to place them on our eyes.
Thank you for your feedback. You are awesome since you have moved to a foreign country and found a job there. One of my dreams is to live in another country, but I have no idea how to earn money there. As always, your detailed explanations were easy to follow, and the alternative sentences you shared were very useful. I learned some new phrases, including "give a raise," "decide against having children," and "take up archery." Thanks again!
I really appreciate your prayer, but if you ask your friend, it would be a big burden on you. Stay hydrated!!
Thank you for praying and encouraging for us!!
