Hello Seung Ho! The pleasure is all mine. I\'m very happy to see you learning something from me, and it makes me even happier to see you improving. You were able to use all the words and expressions well. Keep up the good work! By the way, I will be sending the words and idiomatic expressions on Skype. See you on Tuesday! ^^

From now on, I will tell you the reasons
>> correct!
First of the reasons, when I was young, my dream was to be a global great businessman.
>> First of the reasons was that when I was young, my dream was to be a great global businessman.
- We are stating something that you\'ve wanted as a kid, and also \'global businessman\' is considered as a noun, so the word great should come before it.

>> correct!
I am use to studying English although it didn\'t spend much time for studying.

- We use the pattern \'used to be\' in this sentence.
It may be deeply in my subconscious even though I already have given up my dream.
>> It may be deeply in my subconscious but I already have given up my dream.
- We should use the conjunction \'but\' for this sentence instead of using \'even though\'.
Another reason is for my business.
>> correct!
Sometimes I get calls from abroad.
>> correct!
When I got it, I asked them to send a email.
>>When I got it, I asked them to send an email.
- We use \'an\' if the word next to it starts with a vowel. Vowels are A, E, I, O and U.
After I got a email, I replied for their requirements.
>> After I got an email, I replied for their requirements.
- The same thing applies for this sentence. We use \'an\' if the word that follows it starts with a vowel.

or: >> It is difficult for me to reply to them continuously.
Nowadays my business seriously undergo a recession and many experts anticipate that it will go on for a long time.

But I think, if I can speak English fluently, I can make new business chances from abroad whatever it is importation or exportation.
>> But, I think, if I can speak English fluently, I can make new business chances from abroad whether it is importation or exportation.
- It is better to use the conjunction \'whether\' in this sentence.
The last reason is a secret.
>> correct!
No one knows the reason even my wife.
>> No one knows the reason, not even my wife.
- We are stating that nobody knows the reason, so we should say \'not even\'.
But I tell you now.
>> But I will tell it to you now.
- You are suggesting your plan here, so we will be using \'I\'ll\' or \'I will\'.
About 5 or 6 years ago, when my son was a student of elementary school, I promise him that \'someday I will prove you that I can speak English fluently and I will never give up to study English until I can speak well.\'
>> About 5 or 6 years ago, when my son was a student in elementary school, I promised him, \'Someday, I will prove to you that I can speak English fluently and I will never give up studying English until I can speak well.\'

I am not a impeccable father but I want to leave my son a legacy that is strong mentality that won\'t give up.
>> I am not an impeccable father but I want to leave a legacy to my son which is strong mentality that won\'t give up.
- We use \'an\' if the word next to it starts with a vowel. The word legacy should also come after the word leave since it is what you want to leave behind, not your son.
