Profile
I'm a native English speaker from eastern Kentucky, in the United States. I have a very strong understanding and command of the English language, as well as a vast vocabulary pool. I would be able to help with the technical side of the English language, as well as the situational use of it (whether it be social, or formal). I'm currently learning Japanese. I have learned hiragana and am currently focusing on katakana, as well as starting on kanji. I have a basic understanding of grammar, and very basic vocabulary, but I hope to build my knowledge quickly. I'm looking for casual language exchange that extends to potential friendship, discussing hobbies and experiences. I consider myself sociable and I'll take the time to listen and give criticism if you're looking for it.

    Taiwan trip

    One day on in April, my co-worker came to Taiwan. I used to have dinner with her when I was in Japan. She belongs to Narita airport department. Though we worked in different sections, we were in charge of the same customer. It was her first time sightseeing at Taipei, so I decided to take her around the most famous tourist spot in Taiwan.

    At first we went to Shifen. This place is the famous spot where Lantern Festival is held in February. Even when it is not festival period, it is possible to release lanterns into the sky every day. So we wrote our wishes on the lanterns and released them into the sky. Then we went to Jiufen, a place that I imagine Japanese people who visit Taiwan know because a famous Japanese comic movie is set in this place. There were so many Japanese people on that day too. We have talked over a cup of tea for a long time.

    While she stayed in my house, I was very happy to spend time with her, and I'm glad she was able to come.



    I hope I was of some help. If you have questions, don't hesitate to ask. ^^

    I will break the article down into sections to explain what I am changing, and why. :)

    "In the 24th evening,"  would instead be changed to;
    "On the 24th,"
    Because the English language handles dates as if they are being marked on a calendar. So instead of something happening 'in' a day, it would happen 'on' a day.


    "Sagamihara city which is promoting measures against children's poverty "
    "Sagamihara city--which is promoting measures against children's poverty--"
    The change that I have added will increase the readability of the sentence. It is called an 'em dash', and is used in place of a comma when you are making a sort of side-note while writing.



    "from a civilian's group" would instead be changed to;
    "from a civilians' group"
    The apostrophe to show possession is correct, however, as you have it written, it would show possession to one civilian.
    Because this group is composed of a group of people, civilian would be changed to civilians (plural), and the apostrophe to show possession would be added to the end of the word instead of before the 's'. This is because the last letter of the word is an 's'.
    It's a weird English rule. :P

    "Attendants issued oppinions asking for"
    "Attendants issued opinions asking for"
    I'm sure this could have been just a typing error, but regardless, it would be changed if the article you are translating were to be published.

    I hope the changes I've made and the explanations that followed were able to help a little. :)
