Teacher SaraRoseNY Thank you for corrections that are helpful to me. Automated voice by AI on the New York times has become difficult to distinguish from human voices. When the AI is going to start reading articles, the beginning of narrations mentions that voices are read by the machines. Thus, I can know that sounds are imitation voice. If reading starts without the introduction, I may feel that the voices are human reading. Best regards, 5971mak

Teacher SaraRoseNY Thank you for corrections that are helpful to me. As for the differences between happy and fun, I understand the difference between them as follows by reviewing my grammar textbook and dictionary. Happy describes an emotional state and is often used to describe a person's feelings. So "happy and time in a sentence" emphasize a person's emotional movements in conversation. On the other hand, "a fun time" is commonly used to mean that someone had a good time with friends, family, and others. It signifies showing empathy with their friends and families.

Teacher SaraRoseNY Thank you for corrections that are helpful to me. The importance of ability-based education was explicit when the Japanese government tried to introduce official English proficiency tests into National Center Test for University Admissions (basic academic evaluation examination). Due to expansion of globalization, the government once decided to do so, but some critiques argued that the implimentation of the exam was unfair for those who live in countryside areas. The students of city dwellers families would have better access to have more English education, so the exam was harshly criticized to widen the disparity among students. They strongly insisted that all students were endowed with the same contents of education. They said education should not segregate students. As a result, the elevation of the critics defeated the government's decision and the implementation was cancelled. When I heard the government gave up it, I was uttered because such idea was truely foolish and one-sided view. Given the importance of English proficiency in current globalized world, the official English proficiency tests should be placed as one of the essentials for learners. If the tests were implemented in National Center Test for University Admissions (basic academic evaluation examination), university students' English proficiency would be clearly raised and students would have easier access to the world for studying and working. I believe that the same contents of education damage students performance and harm development of society. Best regards, 5971mak
