    'Dire' is also a good one for when things are bad. So with all the rain we are having at the moment we sometimes say, "The weather is dire at the moment" - meaning the weather is really bad / unpleasant / awful.

    You would still need to used the plurals in your sentence as you are talking about more than one male and more than one female. I would write - Whilst in economics, the number of males was double that of females - 150 compared to just 75. In maths the difference was nearly triple with 200 males compared to just nearly 60 females. *However rather than saying 'just nearly 60 females' I would write a specific number - for example: '...compared to 58 females' or you could say 'approximately 60 females'

    onomatopoeia

    In Japan we use a lot of onomatopoeias which are words that come from sounds that things make (Great explanation!). We use a lot of onomatopoeia to describe texture of food. For example; cookies have a crispy texture, it is called "saku saku(サクサク)".   Some onomatopoeias are hard to explain in English because that same texture doesn't necessarily exist in food that we eat in states or in English-speaking countries. I am sure Japanese is difficult to learn, I am Japanese. I think the most difficult part is to count things. Next time I am going to teach you guys how to count anything in Japanese. Hope you will like it! (Great!)

    We use a lot of onomatopoeia to describe texture of food >> you could also say "We also use onomatopoeias to describe the texture of food"


    Really good piece of writing :)
