EDUCATION

1. Do you think Japan should give more students options to study more languages (other than English) in Junior and Senior High School?

I don't think so.
Even now, Japanese students English skills are still not highly developed.
It's become betwixt and between.


2. Read this interesting article about changing the way English is taught in High School. Do you agree with the this plan? What about Mr. Hamada's opinion that the university entrance exam needs to be changed?

I agree with this plan.
Teaching in English is very useful for practice of listning, and students also can know how to use the new vocabulary and phrases in conversation.
I think we don't need to change the university entrance exam because grammer and reading skill are important.
English is not a second language to the Japanese because Japan is insular country.
So we can live without English.

REFLECTION CLASS

This movie was so funny!!
"SATORSRE" is similar Japanese famous drama.
So I recommend this drama to you.

Anyway, I heard something about that man's feelings are simplicity than a woman.
If we could read what men think, Everithing be allright.
But I feel fear.

TABLE MANNERS

Have you ever eaten in a foreign restaurant?

Sorry, I have never eaten in a foreign restaurant.
Because My family , friends and me love Japanese food.
But if an opportunity offers, I like to try some foreign country's food.

MOVIE

Do you think this is a true story?

Yes, I think so.

Can this really happen in today's modern times?

Yes, I think so.


This movie was so funny.
Few Japanese are deeply devoted to a specific religion and that, in fact, many profess to have no interest in religion at all. In the other countries, faith to the religion is fervent, and it strongly has an influence on life. So even if there is a thing such as this movie, it isn't strange at all.

Wedding

1.Since Japanese weddings are expensive, do you think having a massive wedding like Korea or UAE is a good idea?

A wedding ceremony is a important event once in the life. Therefore you should hold a wedding ceremony grandly without regretting money.


2. What do you think about eloping? Having a wedding in a foreign location like Hawaii?

I think eloping is too bad. The lover cannot obtain "the true happiness" if I do not have you bless you from a relative.
I want to have mine wedding in Hawaii. The Hawaiian scenery and atmosphere are very good. Many Japanese couples will also hold wedding ceremonies there.

3.What is your ideal wedding?

I am blessed by several relatives and acquaintances and hold a wedding ceremony abroad. I want to wear beautiful white wedding dress.


4.What would you definitely do, wear or go to on that big day? Why is that important?

I want a professional photographer to photograph the DVD of the wedding ceremony.


5. Have you ever been to a foreigner's wedding? What was your impression?

I have never been to a foreigner's wedding. But I really want to go there.

SUPERSTITIONS

Do you think it is important to talk about superstitions in cross culture communication class? Why?

I think it is important to talk about superstitions in cross culture communication class.
Because there are various different superstitions by a country. We can know the different thoughts of each country by talking about it. It is very interesting.


Is communication affected by superstitions?

Yes I do. We can understand the way of thinking of the country by talking about the superstition of each other's countries. We'll delve into them.


Do you believe in superstitions? If yes, what superstitions do you believe?

Yes, I believe it. "A relative dies if you do not cover the thumb when you watched a hearse." This is one of the Japanese superstitions. It become ingrained habit as a habit.


Why do you do, use, or believe in them?

I do that for no fathomable reason. It is a thing called "the superstition".

TIME

1. Time is money.

It means that because time is precious, you must not spend time idly.

2. A stitch in time saves nine.

It means that you need to prepare anything in advance lest you should fail.

3.There's no time like the present.

It means that if i can think of something to do, I should do it immediately.

4.Let's meet at 4. If I'm not there by 5, leave without me at 6, and I'll be there at 7.

Not for sure, but I think it means that time can't wait.
