Hello,Mr.Gene Simmons. I love KISS and their songs. I went to see your show the year before last in Japan. Do you know the band "ORANGE RANGE" in Japan? They are very popular now. Their latest CD "musiQ" is two million sold. So,ORANGE RANGE is one of the wonderful bands. When I listened to their CD "1st CONTACT" at my friend's house,I noticed one thing. I heard a part of KISS' song "Love Gun" in the tune "VIVA ROCK". I was surprised,and I doubted whether to have taken KISS' permission because there was no name KISS,BMG,Gene Simmons and so on. I want to ask whether you granted the permission for them to use it. こんにちは、ジーンシモンズさん。 私はKISSと彼らの曲が大好きです。 一昨年日本でのショーも見に行きました。 あなたはオレンジレンジという日本のバンドを知っていますか? 今、彼らはとても人気があります。 彼らの最新のCD、musiQは200万枚も売れています。 オレンジレンジは素晴らしいバンドの一つです。 私が彼らのCD、「1st CONTACT」を友人の家で聞いたとき、あることに気づきました。 私は「ビバロック」という曲の一節に、KISSの曲である「ラヴガン」の一部を耳にしました。 私は驚きました。そしてKISSの許可は取ってあるのかどうか気になりました。 なぜなら、そこにはKISSやBMG、ジーンシモンズさんの名前は無かったからです。 私はあなたに彼らにそれを使用する許可を与えたのかどうか尋ねたいと思います。 これをメールとして送りたいんですが、 メールとしての書き方や英文について間違いがあったら 添削をお願いします。

メールの一番最後まで読まなければ何を言おうとしているのか分からない文章は、とても読みにくいですし、最後まで読んでもらえない可能性も大いにあります。日本語を練り直すことをまずはお勧めいたします。 I love KISS and their songs. 自己紹介をするときは、私はこういう者ですという言い方のほうが適切だと思います。この場合、たとえば、 I am a great fan of KISS and its music. ORANGE RANGEを知っているかと問い掛けるのは、あまりに唐突です。KISSを好きだといっているすぐ後に、ORANGE RANGEを誉めるのでは、何を言おうとしているのか????となります。 ORANGE RANGEの説明をする前に、今回のメールの目的をまず述べることが大事です。 その後に、ORANGE RANGE の説明、問題個所の説明、結論、最後の挨拶、という構成が適当だと思います。 英語の添削は、それから。 厳しいと思われたらごめんなさい。でも、私もKISSファンですので。 (ORANGE RANGEって紅白くらいでしか聞いたこと無いんだけど、ロコローションって曲もほとんど往年のLocomotionになぞってますよね、メロディーも音韻の付け具合も。KISSのメロディーのことも、KISSに直接じゃなくて著作権問題などのカテゴリでいいかも。納得いきませんよね、好きなバンドのメロディー勝手に使われちゃ。お気持ちは良く分かります。 質問から大きくずれました。すみませんでした。)

    テーマはここ数年のニュースで話題になったものというものです。 I was interested in the news which the age of adult should be lowered to eighteen years old. I agree with this idea. Young people these days are overprotected. They can't know anything about the world. It is true that people in their teens still aren't mentally and physically mature. Many teenager don't have a full time job, live with their parents and depend on their parents, However, this is the reason why the age of adult should be lowered. Someday, they will have to live by their own. If they have to be responsible to everything they do, they will become aware that they should be independent. They would also appreciate their parents. よろしくおねがいします。

    自由英作文の添削をよろしくお願いします。 テーマ:いじめに対するアドバイス 条件 ・150words以上 ・3パラグラフ構成以上 ・序論・本論・結論が明確であること。 These days, the problem of bulling is often picked up on the TV program. Some students choose to kill themselves because they feel that they have no another choice to solve the problem. Other students ceased to go to school and study at home. Still others rely on their parents and their parents speak to child’s teacher or the principal and ask them to tell bully to stop bulling. In my opinion, the best way for being bullied students to solve the problem is just continuing to go to school. Of course, I can understand that their parents worry about child’s safety. However, if parents tell them not to go to school, students never change their thought. In my experience, I did go to school when I was bullied, even though I wanted to quit the school or kill myself. But now, I think it was a good experience for my long life. Since I had been mentally injured a lot, I got my heart strong and when my friends or people related me are in trouble, I can give them more proper advice than other people who had never been bullied. For this reason, even if you feel miserable or feel like killing yourself now, you should go to school. This makes you stronger and some day it will be a good experience for you. (226 words) 結論が短いため主張が弱いとは思うものの、文章展開の仕方や肉付けがうまくできていませんが アドバイスや指摘などいただけるとありがたいです。 宜しくお願いします。

    コンクリートの建物に囲まれ、機能第一主義の無機質な都会で生活していると、鳥や虫の鳴き声に耳をすませたり、名も知らぬような草木に目をやったりしながら、季節の微妙な移り変わりを実感するようなことがめっきり少なくなってきたように思う。もっと心に余裕を持ち、一回きりのかけがえのない人生をうるおいのあるものにしたいと考えて、田舎に移住することを決断する人が近年増えてきているのも無理からぬことである。 Living in urban where they are a lot of concrete buildings and functions are regarded as first priority thing, the opportunities are really decreasing in which we can feel subtle seasonal changes with hearing sounds of birds and insects and with seeing grasses and trees of which I don’t know the names. It is inevitable that the number of people is increasing in recent years, who decide to move from urban to rural in order to live at their own pace and make their limited life satisfied. よろしくお願いします。

    文法ミスや、その他改良すべき点ががありましたら指摘していただけるとありがたいです。 テーマ:小学校における外国語教育の是非 In my opinion, children should not study a foreign language in an elementary school. It is true that learning another language enables us to communicate with people who speak the language, and to see the world in a new way. However, I believe that people in their early days ought to learn their own language deeply. It is because mother tongue has a very important role in their lives, and peole could establish their identity by studying it enough. Furthermore, children in an elementary school already have many subjects to study, so it is not able to be thought of as a wise selection to made children have more burden. For these reasons, I emphasize that children should study their own language deeply insted of learnig foreign languages.

    物語の伝えかたは様々ある。漫画と小説の違いは、漫画はあらかじめ場面が描写されているが、小説は自分で自由に場面を想像する事ができる。 共通点は早く読むじっくり読むのはその人次第で、途中で読むのを中断してもよいことだ。あまり時間がないという人は2~3時間で映画を観るという人もいる。 There are different ways to tell stories. The difference between cartoons and novels is that in a cartoon scenes are presented as given to readers, while a novel allows readers freedom of imagining where and how the story unfolds. What they have in common is that it's up to the reader whether to read fast or slow, and that stopping reading is also an option. People with not much time on their hands may opt for movies. Most last no longer than two to three hours.
