Hi Geoff, How's going? I'm so good. Thank you for checking my writing. Not only the sentences I need to correct, but also I've picked up new vocabulary from your note: inflict / impair / If in doubt etc... In terms of "that" which cannot be omitted, it is a bit complicated, so I try to keep it in the sentence just in case. ( It, however, sounds that we need to put "that", when "that-clause (S+V) " is more important to say than the sentence before it. ) I'm happy you love the video !! And thank you for telling me the correct words in UK. Recently, I watched TV program which introduced Borough Market in London, which looks so interesting. I take a note and keep it for a coming day when I visit there. Thank you. Have a nice day! Yukiko
Hi Geoff, Thank you for your kind explanation. I’ve been enjoying learning proper British English phrases and words thanks to you. Your advice means a lot to me. I appreciate it. Have a wonderful evening! Sincerely, Takeshi
Hi Geoff, Thank you for reviewing my draft email. I will review your feedback again and again. I look forward to next time. Taka
Thank you very much for your corrections and explanations. It is nice to know some "higher level language" and I would like to remember those, such as " community" and "ultimately". Thank you!
Hi Geoff, How are you doing? Thank you for your reply on top of your kind message. So far, we both are very healthy and everything is OK. I hope it keeps this week. I looked up Wagamama restaurant. As I didn't know it, I looked up it. You have so many in London. Plates looks like a bit ( other ) Asian -style and a strong taste than our dishes, but they seem delicious ! This time, I was happy to learn the following: - be detached from - half-hearted - (to) feel encouraged In Japan, I'm afraid to tell you that English is taught by American style. Every textbook in school are all American style, although we are sometimes taught the difference between UK and US style. So I prefer to keep on writing in American style, as it is hard to change now.... The other day, I found one of Youtubers ( language masters ) made a video relating it. This is something like how I learn the difference... hahaha https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=auB7vT2-92 ( I hope you can enjoy it skipping over Japanese.... He mainly says "it is so complex, so it is hoped to make it all the same. By contrast, it is a diversity, so we need to embrace it." ) Take care! Yukiko
Hi Geoff, Thank you for your explanations. I appreciate that you always give me kind explanation and help. It is very thoughtful of you. Have a wonderful evening! Sincerely, Takeshi
Hi Geoff, How are you doing? I’m good, but my husband worked with his coworker who tested positive today in the meeting on last Friday. Hence, he is going to work from home from tomorrow to the end of this week conforming to the Japanese rule, and I can’t cut corners on lunch… For the moment, we are good and keep us well sanitary… Thank you for your reply. I’ve especially learned and remembered the following today; - friction between something ( you don’t use “ over “ or “among “ ) - we can use the present tense in the clause with “ whether “ -today’s best word is “ re-evaluate “ I took them on my note, and I’ll see it sometimes for review. Take care! Yukiko
Hi Geoff, Thank you for your feedback. I reviewed your advice and learned a good way to write something like a native speaker. Have a good day! Best regards, Taka
Hi Geoff, Thank you for your explanations. I’ve learnt the correct meaning of (how to use) "accompany". I misunderstood the way of using it: × Adults must accompany children. Adults must be accompanied by children. I tend to check the meaning of words, but if I haven't used them in sentences, sometimes I don't quite understand how to use them. I appreciate your suggestions. Have a wonderful evening! Sincerely, Takeshi
Thank you for your prompt reply. I’m grateful to you for your support.
Hi Geoff, Thank you for your kind check of my writing. Today, I've learned the difference By contrast, S+V ( on top of the sentence with comma ) in contrast to + noun ( in the middle of sentence without a comma ) I read also the explanation of the difference between "in contrast to / with ", but I didn't understand well and decided to use "in contrast to" all the time because "to" is more common. On another note, I've learned the difference between "keep" and "remain". I feel "keep" sounds more positive to move ahead, while "remain" sounds a bit negative due to the unavoidable situation... Thank you so much! See you later soon! Yukiko
