Q&A Diary 4th Entry. I appreciate it if you could correct my English. Thank you. Q) What three words would you use to describe today? Ans) I will choose “rainy”, “ordinary” and ”sigh” to describe today. We have a lot of fine days in Tokyo in winter. However, it was “rainy” today. I think it’s a good effect on air dryness and flu epidemic. As for work, it was “ordinary” day but it’s OK. Let’s think positively. I’m happy without having any troubles today! The last one "sigh". The progress of studying English in my free time is slow like a turtle walking. It will take a long time to be able to speak English well. I’m going to sigh when I think about it.

Q&A Diary Day3 Could you please correct my English so that sounds natural? Q) Have you talked to anyone over the phone today? Ans.) Of course, I talked to my colleagues several times over the phone at work. When I finished my work, I called my home. It was the first call other than work today. My wife was not at home at that time but my second son answered it. So I told him, “Tell her I said Hi! I’m heading home now!”

Q&A Diary Day2 Could you please correct my English? Q)If you could cry on anyone's shoulder, whose would it be? Ans) My wife is trustworthy for me. But I would not cry on her shoulder if possible. Because I don't want to make her feel uncomfortable. And first of all, I should work a problem out on my own. If the problem isn't solved by talking, I think I'd better not talk. In such a case, it is better to change my mood for exercise like a jog. Still, yet, furthermore, if I really want to complain, I will talk to my dog.

Where would you like to visit the most? Could you correct my English to sound natural? Last year I went to see the world heritage of Mont Saint Michel and the castle of the Loire region of France. I also like wine, of course, I enjoyed French wine. So I'd like to enjoy great nature next time. Currently, the place I most like to visit is Yosemite Park and Sequoia National Forest in the United States. I have been to Yosemite park once before. However, because the stay at that time was only one day, I couldn't enjoy enough. That's why I would like to stay there for several days and trail around falls and lakes next time. And I also want to see large metasequoia trees. After enjoying nature, I want to visit some cities on the West Coast. Because I love Napa wines, I would love to enjoy wine with delicious seafood. I wonder how many years go to the U.S. next. But I'm really looking forward to it.

Reason for masking Please correct my English and tell me the sentences that the native speakers feel natural. I went to Tokyo SkyTree by train and took a walk around there today. In the train on the move, about 1 in 5 people wore masks. When foreigners come to Japan, they seem to be surprised that many people wear masks in Japan. Many Japanese don’t feel much resistance to wear masks. Despite being healthy, many people wear their masks to prevent infection such as influenza. My wife also went out with a mask today, She said, ”It is not just a purpose of disease prevention, it is because masking does not make my face cold even if the wind blows, it will soften the dryness of the throat.” I have an allergy to cedar pollen, and from February to March I will wear a mask whenever I go out. In Japan, cedar pollen spreads in the early spring, so it will be a difficult period for those who have an allergy to cedar pollen. Do not be surprised that there are many people who are masking when you come to Japan. They aren't sick.

The meaning of ’some shoes’ Hello, I'm studying English. Does the meaning of 'some shoes' include not only 'a pair of shoes' but also 'two or more pairs of shoes'? For example, if I say simply 'I need some shoes', how do you feel? (1) You want a pair of shoes. (2) You want some pairs of shoes. (3) Both (1) and (2). I would appreciate any your advice. Thank you.

A scene of a recent commuter train Please correct my English. Yesterday, I finished work and got on a commuter train to go back home. I was able to sit on the train chair luckily. There was a young woman standing in front of me, she kept touching her smartphone. She didn't seem to see anything but her phone. When the train left Tokyo station, she gave a little cry and got off at the next station quickly. She seemed to have passed her stop station. Next, the person standing in front of me was a middle-aged businessman. He also kept touching his phone. In the past, there were many people reading books, magazines and newspapers on the train. But now many people touch their phone. Recently, I've heard that the sales of magazines and books are decreasing in these days. It was a scene to support it. I think that it's fun to read books such as historical novels on a train. What do you think about it?
