Pandas sent back - 068/100 -


In today’s news, I saw an article saying that four pandas in Wakayama Prefecture are going to be sent back to China in June. After that, there will only be two pandas left in Japan, which are at Ueno Zoo in Tokyo. I imagine that China wants Japan to return them because, from an economic point of view, it’s no longer worthwhile to rent them.

Original statement
In today’s news I saw the article that four pandas in Wakayama prefecture are going to be sent back to China in June. There will be only two pandas in Japan which are at Ueno zoo Tokyo.
I imagine that China wants Japan to send back them as it’s not worth to rent them in economic reasons before.

Explanation of corrections
1.“the article” → “an article”
“An article” is better because you’re mentioning it for the first time, and it’s one of many articles.

2.“the article that four pandas…” → “an article saying that four pandas…”
In English, it’s smoother to say “an article saying” rather than “the article that”. It makes the sentence flow more naturally.

3.“Wakayama prefecture” → “Wakayama Prefecture”
“Prefecture” should be capitalised when used as part of a proper noun.

4.“There will be only two pandas in Japan which are at Ueno zoo Tokyo.” → “After that, there will only be two pandas left in Japan, which are at Ueno Zoo in Tokyo.”
Added “After that,” for smoother flow between ideas. “Left” adds clarity (meaning remaining).
“Zoo” should be capitalised because it’s part of the zoo’s proper name (“Ueno Zoo”).
Added “in” before “Tokyo” for grammatical correctness.

5.“China wants Japan to send back them” → “China wants Japan to return them”
“Send back them” is grammatically wrong; “send them back” would be correct, but “return them” is simpler and more natural in this case.

6.“as it’s not worth to rent them in economic reasons before” → “because, from an economic point of view, it’s no longer worthwhile to rent them.”
“As” can mean “because”, but “because” is stronger and clearer here.
“From an economic point of view” is the correct phrase; “in economic reasons” is incorrect.
“It’s no longer worthwhile” sounds much more natural than “it’s not worth to”.

Web app - 072/100 -

Today, I built an app that provides me with flashcards. I can use it on Google Chrome on my iPhone. I wrote the code with the help of ChatGPT.  I just explained the functionality I wanted, and it generated the code for me. It also guided me on how to use GitHub, Google Cloud, and so on. To be honest, I had no prior experience in coding or web development, but I still managed to build it. I believe this app will help improve my English learning.

Dark personality - 095/100 -

  I have finished reading the book, What Does It Mean to Have a ‘Bad Personality?’ .  I was particularly interested in the section about ‘grit’, although it is not the main theme of this book. Grit is a personality trait that involves perseverance and determination. It is said that grit has a more positive effect on our achievements than IQ.  Additionally, the book argues that self-esteem is not a precursor to achievement; rather, it is built through accomplishment.  These two insights resonate with me deeply.

Reason for applying

I want to find a career for the next 10 years while I'm in my 40s, retire early by 60, and spend the rest of my life enjoying my hobby of traveling. I would like my next career to be one that earns foreign currency (dollars). Japan's national power has been declining recently, and earning yen in Japan is inefficient and risky. However, I need to improve my English skills. My TOEIC score was around 400. In addition, it would be preferable to be self-employed. One of my children has a developmental disorder. Considering his future, leaving a business where we can work together would be a risk hedge. In order to be self-employed overseas, I must improve my English skills above all else. Next, I will find connections and work in the country where I will be working (Australia is the most likely candidate), and eventually become independent. How do I learn English? I thought that I would not be able to acquire a working level of English by attending an English school, as is the commo...
