Hi Liming 😁. I'm so glad to hear that this lesson will help you to improve your English writing skills. 🤩 Great example sentences using parallel structure. 👍🏻✨
Jen, I personally, honestly think that this is an stunning video that helps a lot to improve our way of speaking well👏🏼. As far as I am concerned, I will make write exercises to keep these expressions in memory✍🏼. Thanks for your bright idea to teach us this.🌹
Hey Jen, thank you for this great new lesson. I was really surprised about the parallel structure. I never heard about in school lessons. To the question of the day: In the wintertime I like to stay home, to read a good book and to drink hot beverages.
Hello Peter 🤗. I've heard from quite a few people that parallel structure is something that they have never learned or thought of before which surprises me. I honestly think that having proper parallel structure is the key to good English writing. ✍️ Excellent answer to question of the day using perfect parallel structure. 👍🏻☺️
JeN's Jyugyou / ジェンの授業 Hello Jen. Thanks for your nice answer. I’m happy learning new expressions, grammar, etc. in English. Especially things I never heard or forgot since school. 😊 Sometimes I’m a little bit sad, that I had such a low motivation learning English while school time... You‘re absolutely right: with the parallel structure the sentences in your video sounds less weird. And it’s motivating doing now more for a better English knowledge.
I'm glad that my lessons are helping you to review what you've learned and teach you new things too🤩. My husband actually says the exact same thing that you mentioned about motivation. I feel that many people weren't motivated to study English in school, but then years later wish they had focused more on learning English back then. 😅 I wish you all the best with improving your English. ✨
@@JeNsJyugyou is thanks a lot for your motivating words. Interesting, your husband think the same. Maybe it's this typical school thing. You have to learn a lot there and if you not need it at these time or have things on it, it's simple learning with less motivation (so my personal experience with school stuff). But now I have a clear aim: learn English as well as i can understand a wheater forecast from Texas! :-)
That's a good point, if you don't see the need to learn something then you probably don't have the motivation to learn it either. 😅 A weather forecast from Texas... that's very specific, but I think it's excellent that you can understand English at that level! American weather forecasts confuse me because they measure temperature in Fahrenheit rather than in Celsius like we do in Canada. 🇨🇦
Jen, this lesson is excellent👏🏼, and with a lot of sense "to make" sentences, "to be perfect", but I never had the opportunity "to learn" this rule. 😯? I’ll try some simple sentences: Last summer "I went to a beautiful beach” “My siter visited an interested island" " My parents stayed home" Next coming holidays will not be so bad, provided the families "keep" the number of people together as recommended, restaurants "maintain" the appropriate limit of clients and that in the street and public parks do not "gather" excessive groups of people. 😯😯
Hello Santiago 😁. Thanks for your comment and answer to question of the day. ✨ Without parallel structure people will still be able to understand your sentences, but it's true that they won't be perfect. Actually, even some native English speakers struggle with this idea of parallelism in their writing. However, I hope this lesson will help people tackle this problem and become better writers. Below I have re-written your sentences so that they have proper parallel structure. I hope this helps. 🤗 "Last summer, I went to a beautiful beach, my sister visited an interesting island, and my parents stayed home" - Now it is all one sentence following parallel structure because each thing in your list is a complete clause with a subject, past tense verb, and object. "The coming holidays will not be so bad, provided that families follow the recommendations for the number of people who can come together, that restaurants maintain the appropriate limit of clients, and that excessive groups of people don't gather in the street or public parks." - I fixed some parts in terms of grammar and making the sentence sound more natural. I also fixed the parallel structure so that each point starts with 'that + subject + verb + object'.
@@JeNsJyugyou Jen, thank you very much for your correction. You did a lot of work. I can see how difficult it becomes to make the sentences correctly by non-natives🍁

Hello Rania ☺️. That is a good question. Here in Ontario it is not common to see women wearing niqab, but to my knowledge it isn't banned. In most of Canada (excluding Quebec) I feel that most female muslims don't cover their hear or tend to wear a hijab, but if they want to wear a niqab or burqa they can. However, in June 2019 the Quebec government banned schoolteachers, police officers, lawyers, and other public sector employees from wearing religious symbols while at work. This means that in the province of Quebec while working: Muslims can't wear hijab or burqa, Jews can't wear yarmulke, Sikhs can't wear turbans, Christians can't wear crosses, and so on. There was also some debate in Quebec about whether or not religious symbols should be banned while people are using public services, but I'm not sure what the situation is now. If someone is a tourist and simply visiting a public place in Quebec I don't think niqab are banned. Sorry, but other than this I don't know that much about the issue in Quebec. 😔
I use my laptop to do my work, play games, and listen to music. People of Iran protest for Freedom of choice, better life, and real democracy. I put on my sports shoes for running, hiking, and biking. I am learning English, patiently, correctly, and smartly.
Thanks for watching and for your response. 🙂 To be honest though, these three are separate sentences technically not all one sentence. The most natural way of writing what you've said is, "I love to go on the internet, and to play video games. However, I hate to do my remote school work." 👍🏻 Sorry to hear that you don't enjoy remote school work. I've heard from many people that they also dislike remote learning. Hang in there...this has to finish sometime 😅
I'm glad I could help. 🌸 Perhaps you'd enjoy my expressions for dislike video to learn other ways to talk about not liking something other than using 'hate': th-cam.com/video/cwul2cJ6bCM/w-d-xo.html
Hey there! How’s it going? I was wondering why so many words can have more than one correct spelling. ‘Toward’ and ‘towards’ are a good example. It is also unusual for me to see a hyphen with the word ‘super’ (as in Super-Man). I’m a native Russian speaker and the word, ‘super’ (even though it’s been adopted from English) is normally written in one word. I’m terribly confused here :D And here’s another tormenting piece of grammar that’s been tearing me apart :D What’s the best way to say the word ‘a’? (It’s a banana.) Is it as in ‘cat’ or ‘cup’ or a schwa? Thank you in advance, my dear and lovely teacher :))
Hello Alex 🤗. I love your enthusiasm for studying English.🤩 As with most languages, English changes over time. As a result some words use different spellings, and some words even change their meaning. Also, it is important to note that since English is such a widely used language there are differences in spelling among native speakers from different countries. For example: pajamas (US) vs pyjamas (Canada, UK), Donuts (US / Canada) vs Doughnuts (UK / Canada), Color (US) vs Colour (Canada, UK), and Toward (US / Canada) vs Towards (UK). In terms of your Superman question, I am very confused as there shouldn't be a hyphen. When talking about the DC comic book hero, his name is Superman (no hyphen). When using 'super' as an adjective to describe a man, the adjective comes before the noun, but there is still no hyphen. For example: Superman is a super man. As for the pronunciation of 'A": There are actually two (or even three) ways of pronouncing 'a' when it is used as an article in English. Most of the time the article 'a' is pronounced like a short 'uh' sound (like in cup), but when native speakers want to emphasize the fact that there is only one of something then we will pronounce it as 'ay' sound (like in day) ...or possibly even an 'eh' sound (like in cat). All three ways are correct. I hope this helps 🤗
Thanks for your great response to question of the day. 😎 You've used parallel structure correctly, which is awesome. I wish you all the best with achieving all three of those goals. 🙂 ( Don't forget to also follow English rules of capitalization and punctuation in your writing 😉: "I want to improve my English in order to get a job, earn a little bit more money, and travel abroad. 🤗)
