Toya, thanks for lending me your English textbook.

Still, it was surprisingly clean. I thought you'd have written notes all over it.

Well, I underline all the important parts, but I write everything else that I need in my notebook.

Oh yeah, you show me sometimes when you're helping me study. Your notes are so detailed.

Even like that, they're easier to read than my own. I'm amazed every time.

In that case... What if you tried leaving in more empty spaces? That may make it easier on your eyes.

With English for example, you could leave a line open between the English text and its Japanese translation, and two lines for new sentences.

More space, huh...? I've never thought about that, but it seems easy enough to try.

Yes, I also recommend it because it'll be easier to review any material that you need to.

Right. I guess I should buckle down a little more since I'm sort of sick of worrying about failing tests every time.
