Profile
I am an English language course writer, private tutor and former school teacher based in Northampton, which is in the heartlands of England. I am passionate about Japanese culture, alternative music and food. Much of my time is spent reading, attending art exhibitions, going to concerts and spending time talking with others. My other main hobby, travelling, has taken me across the world, and I have spent weeks in places as far flung as Japan, Thailand and parts of Western and Central Europe. I have enjoyed many lessons as a student on italki and am now looking to become a professional tutor. Due to my years' experience in the classroom, I am hoping that I can transfer my knowledge and skills into the online English tutoring environment, making use of my passions, interests and hobbies as well. Please get in touch if you'd like to chat, book a lesson or suggest ways that I can better learn Japanese! Many thanks, Max

    'I have to speak English as often as I have to speak my native language.' You might say this about a job where 50% of your communication is in your native language, 50% is in English.

    I think it means something different to all three. I'd say it means to give someone more information when it becomes available, or to update someone when there is more information. 'We don't have any spaces on the course right now, but we will keep you posted if any spaces become available.' 'Please keep me posted if any positions become available.'

    In this case, to visit various people and places. 'I need a job, so I will go around all the local businesses with my CV.' 'The musicians go around the country playing their songs.'

    Hi, I am Yu. I have not used italki for the past two months. During that time, I was enjoying my summer vacation. Long time no see♡ I will start taking lessons on italki again today. So, the very hot summer is almost over. I hated summer because it was hot. However, summer was fun too. I made many memories this summer. I am going to tell you about them. Actually, I can't tell you about all of them because those are too many. I'll tell you about one memory. I went on a trip. I went to Atami. Atami is famous for its beautiful sea and hot springs. We ate a lot of seafood in Atami♡ Also, the hotel we stayed at was very nice. Bye. ええ！熱海はきれいそう。2019、伊藤にいきました。近くです。海岸は最高でした。

    Apologies, I must correct my correction! For example, the series 'The Westward' is based on / is inspired by the novel 'Journey to the West'. Note the use of the definite article 'the' before 'novel'.

    近一半的新作品都是国风风格，或者说“传统中国风”。这些故事大多是根据中国传说或文学作品改编。例如，《西行纪之再见悟空》改编自《西游记》。 Nearly half of the new works are in Guofeng style, or “ traditional Chinese style ”. The stories are mostly based on, or adapted from, Chinese legends or literature. For example, the series 'The Westward' is based on / is inspired by novel 'Journey to the West'. 'is based on' is used when something closely matches the original. 'is inspired by' is used when something is related to the original, but maybe takes place before the original story, after the original story, or changes significant details about characters and plot.

    Today is my day off. I sure slept well. I washed my bedding, so I will have a comfortable night's sleep. Do you mean you slept well last night, or will sleep well tonight? Using 'sure' in this way might sound strange to some people, I would say it's an Americanized slang term, not impolite but perhaps not used in everyday conversation outside of the US. A more formal way of saying this could be 'I slept very well.' An informal way that would sound more natural, especially in the UK, would be 'I slept really well.'

    I have written about a medicine. I have a runny nose and sore throat. I always take a medicine called "龍角散-Ryukakusan" before going to bed. Ryukakusan means 龍-dragon 角-horn 散-powder. It doesn't taste good, but it stops coughs. Or you could say: "If I have a runny nose and sore throat, I always take a medicine called "龍角散-Ryukakusan" before going to bed."

    If people eat too much, they will gain weight fast and may be prone to many healthy problems. If I spoke English fluently, I could communicate with people all over the world. If I don't pay my bills, my electric and gas supply will be cut. If you sit in the sun for too long, you will get sunburn and it will be very painful.
