Profile
I am from Dover, Ohio. I have a BA in Asian Studies with a focus on Japanese Studies and language. I offer both English lessons and beginning Japanese. I have designed a variety of beginning Japanese lessons here on italki for English speakers who want to learn beginning Japanese in a one-on-one environment. I think this allows me to cater each lesson plan to a students needs and learning abilities. I also contour my English sessions to my students as well which gives a student the individual lesson plan they need to learn English at their own pace. I have taught ESL professionally for over 4 years now, and have the knowledge and ability to help all students, those who are college bound as well as those who are looking for conversational help, achieve their language goals.

    How I Make Miso Soup

    I will explain how I make miso soup.
    First, I put a handful of dashi into boiling water and leave let it boil for about one to three minutes. Then I take it out of the water. (Where do you put it after you take it out of the water. In a bowl, into another pan,  paper towels or throw them away???)  
    For those who don't know what dashi is, it's bonito flake. We use them in order to add flavor to soup.
    Second, I dice tofu (I prefer a silken tofu) and cut a green onion into small pieces, then I put them into the same water I took removed the dashi from. I also add some dried seaweed. Some people soak the seaweed in water beforehand, but I'm too lazy to do that so I just put it in as it is. It rehydrates very quickly.
    ThirdLastly (if this is the finally step before serving), I put about one tablespoon of miso paste into the water, then stir in order to mix the miso and the water until the paste is dissolved. After I make sure every all of the ingredients in the water have becomes soft enough; then I finally serve it in a bowl.

    When you ask this question, there are several instances that this can apply, so which are you referring to? Prefer to be called? What is your favorite name? I would suggest that you be a little more specific, because for someone like me... I have a preferred name for a story character, but that same name would not be acceptable to name a child if I had one. Perhaps you can add more details to what you truly want to know in the body area, and not just write the question in the title area. :)

    A man would use the word 'companion' in this context, which is the equivalent of suitor. I hope this answers your question. :)

    As Susan612 stated, you should use the word 'around' not 'round'. However, it really depends in is you are trying to ask if they have been shown around (meaning it is uncertain/undecided that they will be shown around at all). The second one is making the assumption that they WILL be shown around (without question) but has it happened yet (already) is the emphasis of the second sentence. I hope this answers your question. ~Samantha :)

    The Arts Of Leadership

    My topic today is " the arts of leadership". And first of all, what does is leadership and what does it mean? It refers to the way in of leading creatively and effectively. A leader should have a high prestige, and a convincing conviction of judgment,. and is good at He or she shoud be inspiring to their subordinates and treats them with care of his men, in order to win their trust and confidence;. they also need to be able to speak in plain language to explain what needs to be done clearly and easily. May be Perhaps you will might say, we live in a democratic society today, why do we still need leadership? Well, a leader's energy goal and direction on a job is to coordinate all, his or her team to achieve the goal sucess that a single individual cannot reach. Therefore, we shouldn't not look down upon the arts of leadership,for it can make the difference between failure and sucess. Thank you very much.

    Tourism Industry

    In some regions, tourism has become the most important industry. The development improvement of the tourism this industry stimulates the development of the local economy in a large part big way. But some people think that commercialization may lead to the loss of traditional cultures. Too many tourists may also cause destruction to make the scenic sport environment been destroyed. But on the other hand, the tax revenue, which had been bring by the tourism industry brings in, can support the government to finance more schools, libraries, and museums,; make which will give teenagers the chance to know more about traditional culture. At the same time, the economic benefits of the tourism industry are makes causes local residents to be more careful to in maintaining their environment.

     

    The red type is text that was added or changed. The crossed out type is text that needs removed. Note that in your second sentence you used the word 'development' twice. Try not to use the same word in the same sentence or group of connected sentences, because it may sound like the speaker/writer has a limited vocabulary. Try and use a different word with a similar meaning instead. All-in-all, not bad. A few corrections, and be sure to watch your verb agreements.

    I hope this helps.

    1) The ABC Company is well-known around the world. They have over 1000 staff and possess $5 billion in cash. So it has already became Top-200 world entrepreneurial company. - a few changes here, but all-in-all a good sentence. 2) I like pets, so I have adopted one cat. Her name is Mimi. - switch 'adopted' and 'one', it sounds more natural this way; also use the gender pronoun instead of 'its' 3) I ate an orange and an apple 10 minutes ago. - this one is perfect. Hope these help. ~Samantha :)
