I'll ask him next time.
Dear teacher Ellie_P san Thank you for your quick answer to my question. I see. The idiom is "toe the line" instead of "tow the line" "If you want to get ahead, you’d better learn to toe the line." The word "toe" is in Japanese popularly used in the form of "toe shoes". If I want to get ahead in learning English, I'd better to toe the line. I understand this lesson. I need to do what I'm expected to do without causing trouble for anyone. Although it takes a time , I get caught on some words, phrases or sentences you used in your explanations because I'm interested in how natives use them. "hierarchy" "remotely" "mix up his personal policy as a social activist with that of a managing director" "Usually, we don't use 'persons'. We only use it in rather legalistic contexts." "guinea pig" I found the meaning of "guinea pig" saying someone who is used in a scientific test to see how successful or safe a new product, system etc. "What we can assume from this fact" "getting that fat paycheck" "From your writing, I gather that you don't think--------" It's my first to know the meaning of "gather" except "collect." Thank you again for your inspirational corrections. Best regards, ie1133 --------------------

Hi, Ms. Ellie. Thank you for your advices! Becoming infected must have been tough. I'm glad to hear you're getting better. Each subspecialist must see more complicated desease so they cannot examine fewer patients. However, actually, people demand doctors who can see many patients shallowly because there is a shortage of obstetricians and gynecologists in Japan. There is a system that patients are referred to special department for further evaluation and treatment.
