Dear Kaori.
Hello, Kaori. Tahnk you for your e-mail. How is your school?
Anyway, I found some mistakes in your e-mail.
Let me correct your e-mail.
(Your wrote) Hello, I remenber you. I enjoyed playing La Cross because this
the first experience.
(Correct) Hello, I remember you. I enjoyed playing Lacrosse
because this is the first experience for me.
Misspell!! "Remenber" is "remember" and "La Cross"
is "Lacrosse."
"the is the first experience" is no complete sentence, so you
should write experience for whom, for example "for me."
(You wrote) And I had a very good time in TIUA, because TIUA student were
kind and gave me various things.
(Correct) And I had a very good time in TIUA, because TIUA students were
kind and gave me various things.
You wrote "were", so I guess many TIUA students gave you some
kindness. So you should change "students."
You may write more specific about "various things."
(You wrote) Moreover I receive Mari's care. Thank you very much.
(Correct) Moreover, I received Mari's care. Thank you very much.
Oh! Thank you.
You did, so you should change "receive" to "received"
This sentence is correct. But "care" is sound strange.
(You wrote) I surprise that I saw your introduce.
(Correct) I was surprised when I saw your introduction.
You should write the passive voice like "was surprised" and"when"
is better than "that" in this sentence. And "your" is
a pronoun so you need a noun.
(You wrote) I have been lived near your house.
(Correct) I have been living near your house since............
or
I live near your house.
If you use " have been --ing ", you need "since--."
Or you can say "live" because you live there now, right?
(You wrote) Adress is in Kawagoe, but there is house near ISEHARA PARK.
(Correct) The address is in Kawagoe, but the house is near ISEHARA PARK.
Misspell! Address needs two "d."
(You wrote) So I can go to school 10 minutes by bicycle.
(Correct) So I can go to school in 10 minutes by bicycle.
You need "in" before time.
(You wrote) I am happy becausa you is my partner.
(Correct) I am happy because you are my partner.
Misspell! Becausa is because.
We can not say "you is". We say "you are."
(You wrote) Have a good three month !!
(Correct) Have a good three months!!
"Three" is a plural noun, so you should change "months."
** See you in Japan **
<Kaori>
That's all.
Have a good day.
