Thank you for your precise and informative comments and corrections. I like writing, but I feel I still have a lot of things to learn. 自由英作文ではある意味「逃げ」が可能なのですが、NHKライティングは与えられた文章を訳さなければならないので、とても頭を使います。表現力がまだまだ足りないなとガッカリしつつ、それでもやめられない楽しいレッスンです。
Wow, 10,000 lessons! How they all add up so quickly when you're having fun!
Firstly, I'd like to say a big "thank you" to Cafetalk for providing such a fantastic platform for online learning and teaching. I'm extremely grateful for having this opportunity to connect with students from throughout Japan and elsewhere around the world from the comfort of my home in a small rural township far away from the hustle and bustle of big city life.
Secondly, I'd like to thank all my students for taking lessons with me over the past five years -- it's truly been a wonderful, rewarding experience. And finally, this year I plan on offering online group lessons for the first time for both children and adults. I look forward to continuing this online journey whilst helping as many students as possible improve their English -- one lesson at a time!
