I’m most proud of having got full scores on an English term-end exam last July. I didn’t think I would get full scores, but I studied very hard to get a high score and to make everyone realize that I was not a goof. Now, thanks to the test result, they know I’m not a goof, and I know how important it is to make efforts to accomplish something. Making efforts will change your life for the better.


I'd appreciate it if you could correct my English and give your ideas of this title. Thanks very much in advance.

You have to put only one word in the blank(it should be a verb, I guess). What do you put in it? The word "troubles" seems to be inappropriate. I'd appreciate it if you could answer my question. Thank you very much in advance.

The professor concretely explained it.
The professor specifically explained it.
The professor was specific in his explanaytion about it.

What do you think of these five sentences? Which do you think is better or worse?

I'd appreciate it if you could correct my English and give me some advice on it.

What is the difference between those two sentences? I guess the first one is used more often, but even so, I don't know why.

I'd appreciate it if you could give me your idea. Any idea is welcome. Thank you very much in advance.

B1: If it's that good, I'll try to do that.
B2: If it's that good, I'll try to find time.

Which is better, B1 or B2? I know the answer should be B2, but I don't know why B1 is not good.

I think these are all words meaning "natural ability."
I can't really tell the difference.
From my experience, "capacity" and "genius" are not often used. I more often see "talent" and "gift."

I was wondering if you could tell me the difference and how you use these words in your daily lives. Thank you very in advance.

It is only natural to encounter things you can't understand when traveling abroad. It is all the more so if you can't speak the language spoken there.

Now, I'm a member of a project and dissapointed at the leader. She leaves everything to me because she is really busy. Why did she ask me to work on the project with her though she knew that she would be busy? I can't stand it any more. She is lacking in a sense of responsiblity. I can't wait the day when I finally become free.

Have you ever had a similar experience? If so, how did you solve the problem?

Do you have a similar experience? Yesterday, I again apprediated good points of taking up teaching as a carrer. Teaching is not tough work. Indeed, it is sometimes tiring, but rather enjoyable most of the time! Many Japanese college students work part-time as teachers at prep schools, but I want more people all over the world to realize how wonderful teaching is!

AGU has two campuses; one is in Tokyo, and the other in Kanagawa. I go to the one in Tokyo, but my house is near the one in Kanagawa, so today I'm at the one in Kanagawa. I have come here for the first time in a very long time. There are now very few people here because students at AGU including me are during the summer vacation. They are now enjoying their vacation without paying any attention to studying. It is not common for most of them to take the trouble to go to college to study during the vacation. Usually this place is so crowded that I'm always tired and disgusted! But, now, very few people. Ironically, I can't help having a lonely feeling. Maybe, I like being in a crowded place... Is there anybody who thinks in the same way or who has experienced anything like this?


*I'd appreciate it if you could check my English. I need some advice. Thanks.
