こんにちは！
初めまして、Chrisと言います。
I have studied in college previously. I am looking for someone to practice conversation with who is a native speaker. Initially, I would like to do open forum, but also if we continue to work together, I would have topics and dialog that I would be able to email in advance in order to be prepared for our lessons. Some topics that I am interested in speaking about at the moment are:
自己紹介、レストランで注文する事、図書館で、週末の事、etc.
I look forward to speaking with you! よろしくお願いします。

- Importance of motivation and methods in learning(ps. i hope my article could be more academic, thank you for your correction^^)It goes without saying that the motivation and methods are all indispensible to learning. <s>However, it cannot be emphasized the importance of them, though most of us have already knew clearly.</s>However, their importance cannot be emphasized enough, although most of us clearly know this.On the one hand, as far as I’m concerned, motivation is the <s>base of all</s> foundation/basis of everything. If one doesn’t have motivation <s>in </s>for learning, though he knows the best and most efficient methods, he will never use them in practice. It’s like an expensive car with all good <s>details </s>features except an engine, which in fact <s>even </s>could not <s>could </s>even be seen as a car.On the other hand, the methods are <s>as </s>the bridge which will lead us to success. Without it one would be hard pressed to find <s>a </s>the right access to achievement, or sometimes <s>you will</s> one would pay twice as much as <s>efforts </s>others <s>paid</s>, <s>but </s>only to receive <s>the </s>half of the results in return.Taking all the reasons? We may reasonably come to the conclusion that we must pay attention to both of them so that we can <s>we </s>achieve success in learning.*Avoid contractions in academic writing.

- <s>The v</s>Vacations on a whimI had had a bad day at work and decided to fly away to Spain on a whim. My saving grace is an ability to quickly make <s>quick </s>decisions. As I arrived at the airport, the terminal was packed to the gills due to flight delays by the unexpected thunderstorm. It seemingly took some time/forever to recover from the delay so I sat on a bench adjoining the departure entrance to keep abreast of the most updated flight information. While I was waiting for my flight, I was worried about <s>the </s>my bouquet, which was a gift for my friend. If <s>it </s>the delay took too long <s>time</s>, <s>some of them</s> it might wither. I hoped that a friend of mine would be mesmerized by the flower, but I can't complain because I should have <s>been </s>wittingly expected <s>the </s>a situation like this <s>wittingly</s>.Nice entry!

- Agree or disagree: More Japanese people will move to the countryside after they retire in the futureAlthough some people have been moving to the countryside after they retire<s>d</s>, the majority of people don't move to other regions. As shown in research<s>es</s> about <s>increase and decrease of </s>population changes, Countrysides have been losing their population. So, I disagree this suggestion.To begin with, for <s>P</s>people who have <s>lived </s>spent a lot of time in a modern city <s>created </s>filled with many family and friends in the region<s>.</s><s style="background-color: rgb(204, 232, 204);">,</s> It is difficult to throw away <s>this </s>these relationships in order to relocate to the countryside.Moreover, <s>M</s>moving and living costs in new location take huge amount of money. This become one of <s>walls </s>the obsticles to hesitate to <s>judge </s>decide.To summarize, mental and economical obstructions <s>make </s>cause only few people moved to the countryside. Due to this, <s>M</s>more Japanese people will not move to the countryside.Please tell me the proper way to write this and correct the writing.Nice Writing! :-)0 votedOctober 2, 20191
- Performing Arts: “Lovesong” by Abi MorganWe are watching “Lovesong” by Abi Morgan at www.digitaltheatreplus.com. “Lovesong” is the story of a couple in the first stages of their life together <s>with </s>following along with the same couple as they approach the end of the story.

- JUST A DIARY ENTRY ON September 19thI would like someone to correct my diary (or to tell me the natural way of saying some things below. But I would be happy even if you JUST CORRECT my entry). Here, I might write in spoken English, possibly, because I want to improve not just my writing skills, but also <s>the skill of</s> my spoken English. Could do that for me, please?JUST A DIARY ENTRY ON September 19thT<s>oday, I got the promotion examination of my office finally.</s> Today, I (got the results of/took the) office exam finally. <s>It was actually said to be difficult big-time</s> They say its difficult and a big deal for us, but I felt that <s>fact </s>was wrong.Because, <s>you might come to mind what I will say already</s> you might already guess what I am going to say, I thought that I passed it easily. That's right, I had prepared well for that examination, <s>say </s>like, I was studying <s>on </s>knowledge on my job and I learned about that examination from my boss. But having sad that, and even taking that into consideration, <s>that </s>it was really easy. Generally, the promotion examination like <s>this I got</s> today is supposed to be difficult <s>to answer the question</s>, as you know the result could be related with my job's future right? I doubt my company would let us pass the examination easily intentionally. Oh yeah, anyway, today was the day. I can't <s>be waited</s> wait for the day after this. I can <s>be </s>get into my favorite video game, Super Smash Bro. for Switch without <s>concerning </s>being concerned about that exam.

- writing practiceWhen job hunting, many people consider that salary or job title is the top priority.However, as hearing the news of employees who worked on terrible conditions like the excessive amount of tasks and too much overtime, and, who were <s>harmed</s> harming their health (or, "who had their health harmed"), workplace environment or job satisfaction have received great attention in recent years.Although both are essential factors <s>to choose</s> in choosing jobs, I think that job satisfaction is much more important for <s>some </s>reasons related to health, productivity, and the growth of the company.It is clear that people work <s>for earning</s> in order to earn money, but it should not damage one's physical and mental health.Nevertheless, in the current highly-demanded, stressful society that requires workers to immediately respond to a customer or boss without any <s>situation </s>hesitation, the number of people who have mental <s>sick </s>illness or impair their health have spiked exponentially.Considering the length of working age, the job that people keep working with joy<s>fulness</s> is more valuable than a <s>bit </s>slightly higher salary.Furthermore, some research has shown that there is a strong correlation between job satisfaction and productivity.Although many companies have tried increasing productivity by setting an incentive, it has become clear that the workplace environment, such as the relationship between colleagues or the task which employees feel rewarding, has affected productivity in these studies.Finally, raising <s>worker's </s>workers' (or just "worker") satisfaction brings the company<s> to a high-talented</s> highly talented employees and strengthens the company's competitiveness in the field. As society globalizes, many companies have come to compete with <s>abroad </s>businesses abroad (or "overseas businesses) which can provide almost the same quality service or products at a lower price because <s>their </s>(subject not clear here, so use the proper noun "overseas businesses' ") labor costs are still low. To survive today's society, attracting human resources by the company's reputation is crucial.In conclusion, although money is fascinating when thinking of job opportunities, I believe that job satisfaction brought by a comfortable workplace environment has several benefits not only for individuals but also companies and society: therefore, it outweighs money alone.Thank you for reading this. I had to use more various grammars like condition[if] or subordinate clauses.Great Entry! Well written, thought out, insightful. Hope the corrections help! :-)0 votedSeptember 3, 20191
