Japan Monkey Center

Last weekend, my husband and I visited Japan Monkey Center in Aichi, which is famous for Toyota.
We saw ring-tailed lemurs eating melons up close without any fences.
According to the notices, volunteers donate various vegetables and fruits to the zoo.
However, except for the lemurs, a gorilla, and chimpanzees, most monkeys eat only carrots.
Carrots are a local specialty in a neighboring city.
So, the zoo may receive an abundance of carrots from local farmers.

Only adorable and popular monkeys can get expensive fruits, so I felt that a hierarchy exists even in the zoo.
In Japan, fruits are relatively expensive, especially melons, which are considered luxury fruits.


先週、私と夫は愛知(トヨタで有名)の日本モンキーセンターを訪れました。
柵に遮られることなく、間近でワオキツネザルがメロンを食べている姿を観察できました。
掲示板によると、有志が動物園に野菜や果物を寄付しているそうです。
しかし、キツネザル、ゴリラ、チンパンジー以外の大半の猿は人参だけを食べていました。
人参は日本モンキーセンター所在市の近隣市の名産品です。
きっと、近隣農家から大量の人参を受け取っているのでしょう。

可愛くて人気の猿だけが高価な果物を食べられるなんて、動物園にすら格差がありますね。
*日本では、果物は比較的高価で、特にメロンは高級品扱いされています。

Japan Monkey Center


This sentence has been marked as perfect!

Last weekend, my husband and I visited Japan Monkey Center in Aichi, which is famous for Toyota.


Last weekend, my husband and I visited Japan Monkey Center in Aichi, which isa region famous for Toyota. Last weekend, my husband and I visited Japan Monkey Center in Aichi, a region famous for Toyota.

Changing it to this wording makes it clear that Aichi is famous for Toyota, the original way made it would like the Japan Monkey Center was famous for Toyota. :)

Last weekend, my husband and I visited the Japan Monkey Center in Aichi, which is a region famous for Toyota. Last weekend, my husband and I visited the Japan Monkey Center in Aichi, which is a region famous for Toyota.

-the center is a specific place, so it uses 'the' -I agree with the other commentor, this makes it clearer the region is famous for Toyota.

Last weekend, my husband and I visited Japan Monkey Center in Aichi, which isthe prefecture famous for Toyota. Last weekend, my husband and I visited Japan Monkey Center in Aichi, the prefecture famous for Toyota.

It sounds a little bit like the Japan Monkey Center is famous for Toyota.

We saw ring-tailed lemurs eating melons up close without any fences.


We saw ring-tailed lemurs eating melons up close, without any fences no fences at all. We saw ring-tailed lemurs eating melons up close, with no fences at all.

You could also write it, “ We got to see ring‑tailed lemurs up close, without any fences, as they ate melons.”

We saw ring-tailed lemurs eating melons up close withou. There weren't any fences. We saw ring-tailed lemurs eating melons up close. There weren't any fences.

Your sentence is correct but it makes the eating and fences sound more closely connected than they really are.

We sawThere were no fences so we got to see ring-tailed lemurs eating melons up close without any fences. There were no fences so we got to see ring-tailed lemurs eating melons up close.

the "without any fences" seems a little bit redundant and unnecessary. When you say up close, it already implies how close you were, although I will agree that in my mind, up close to me means there is still glass separating you. So adding the no fences can be fine, but it just seemed a little bit too extreme and in your face when adding it to the end of the sentence.

According to the notices, volunteers donate various vegetables and fruits to the zoo.


According to the notices, volunteers donate various vegetables and fruits to the zoo. According to the notices, volunteers donate various vegetables and fruits to the zoo.

This sentence is great.

According to the notices, volunteers donate various vegetables and fruitfruits and vegetables to the zoo. According to the notices, volunteers donate various fruits and vegetables to the zoo.

This is completely just personal preference but I think a common phrase we say in America is "fruits and vegetables" where fruits always come first. I am not sure why but as a kid, I always heard people say "remember to eat your fruits and vegetables." This is not necessary but just a side note from my Americanness.

However, except for the lemurs, a gorilla, and chimpanzees, most monkeys eat only carrots.


However, except for the lemurs, a gorillas, and chimpanzees, most monkeys eat only carrots. However, except for the lemurs, gorillas, and chimpanzees, most monkeys eat only carrots.

This works better. Unless you are talking about one gorilla in general then the original sentence that says “a gorilla” is correct.

However, except for the lemurs, a gorilla, and the chimpanzees, most monkeys eat only eat carrots. However, except for the lemurs, a gorilla, and the chimpanzees, most monkeys only eat carrots.

-either all of the animals need to have an article or none of them should have an article. -'eat only' is fine, but 'only eat' sounds better

However, except for a gorilla, the lemurs, a gorilla, andnd the chimpanzees, most of the other monkeys eat only carrots. However, except for a gorilla, the lemurs, and the chimpanzees, most of the other monkeys eat only carrots.

It kind of sounds like only the lemurs eat the special foods, and the gorilla, chimpanzees, and other monkeys eat only carrots. Even though I know that is not what you are trying to say, it kind of reads a little bit like that. I think it is because there is only one gorilla, and it is in between two plurals. I think if you put the gorilla at the front of the line it will help clarify it a bit more. Although I don't think it is grammatically wrong, I think it just helps clarify it a bit for the reader.

Carrots are a local specialty in a neighboring city.


Carrots are a local specialty in a neighboring city. Carrots are a local specialty in a neighboring city.

This sentence is correct. British English spells the words “speciality and neighbouring” but your spelling follows the correct American English spelling.

Carrots are a local specialty infrom a neighboring city. Carrots are a local specialty from a neighboring city.

'From' makes it more clear that the carrots come from the neighboring city, rather than just being a specialty there.

So, the zoo may receive an abundance of carrots from local farmers.


So, the zoo may receives an abundance of carrots from local farmers. So, the zoo receives an abundance of carrots from local farmers.

-From what you've said it sounds like that is what happens, not just that it may happen. If it is uncertain, something like, 'the zoo sometimes receives' will sound better.

So, the zoo maprobably receives an abundance of carrots from local farmers. So, the zoo probably receives an abundance of carrots from local farmers.

I think you could also use "might receive" but I think probably is the best.

Only adorable and popular monkeys can get expensive fruits, so I felt that a hierarchy exists even in the zoo.


Only adorable and popular monkeys can get expensive fruits, so I feltthink that a hierarchyies exists even in the zoo. Only adorable and popular monkeys get expensive fruits, so I think that hierarchies exist even in the zoo.

-Again this is happening, so 'can' is not needed. -'a hierarchy exists' is fine, but making it a more general statement sounds a little better.

Only adorable and popular monkeys can get expensive fruits, so I feelt that a hierarchy exists even in the zoo. Only adorable and popular monkeys get expensive fruits, so I feel that a hierarchy exists even in the zoo.

feel that a hierarchy exists or felt that a hierarchy existed. Whichever is your preference.
