Japanese trains It is said that the trains arrive on time in Japan. It's true. I heard it's rare in the world. So, arriving on time seems to be very surprising and sometimes strange to the international people. I've never thought of that, I mean, the trains' arriving on time is natural and usual to me. I asked myself why the Japanese trains are organized well. To make the passengers happy? To make it efficient and make more money? or just love doing tidly? I'm not sure but probably they love to make everything organized well. They love to make a line, stand in line very patiently even if it's emergency like the earthquake.

Japanese trains

Chizuko san,

 Nice post!  I would like to share some edits [ … ]:

It is said that the [article ‘the’ is used only for specific items, like “the Tokyo trains are clean”] trains arrive [or “are always”] on time in Japan. It's true. I heard it's rare in the world [better: “I heard that it is rare around the world for trains to be always on time”]. So, arriving on time seems to be very surprising and sometimes strange to the international people [better: “foreigners” or “foreign visitors”]. I've never thought of that, I mean, the trains' arriving on time is natural and usual to me. I asked myself why the Japanese trains are organized well [better: “I asked myself why Japanese trains are so well organized”]. To make the passengers happy? To make it efficient and [“and to”-- you are listing reasons starting with “to”] make more money? or [“Or”] just love doing tidly? [better: Or is it simply because Japanese people like to be very organized?”] I'm not sure[comma “,”-use before ‘but’ at the beginning of an independent clause] but probably they love to make everything organized well [“well organized”- ‘well’ is used to qualify ‘organized’, so use adjective before noun]. They [better: “Japanese people” –make sure your readers know who ‘They’ are] love to make a line, stand in line very patiently even if it's [“an”] emergency [“,”] like [“during an”] the earthquake.
