Education

Please read the opinion in the December 6th International Herald Tribune. http://www.iht.com/articles/2006/12/06/opinion/edkumiko.php　
Do you agree with the writer? Why? Give at least 3 examples to support your answer.


I agree with this article.
I think that some Japanese business person can't speak English.
Recently, I often heard that English take curriculum in elementary school.
I think that elementary school student must study Japanese, too.
English is important to work at oversea, but I think that Japanese and Japanese history are important, too.

Education is very important thing in country.
I just think it.

I didn't know and mean "Renai Ken-o Sho" when I saw this word.
I don't agree with author.
I didn't understand this mean, because I thought about this article.
It is so difficult for me to understand. And I can't explaine about my oppinion in English.
However, I think Renai is great thing!!!!

Since Japanese weddings are expensive, do you think having a massive wedding like Korea or UAE is a good idea? Eloping? Having it in a foreign location like Hawaii?What is your ideal wedding?


My ideal wedding is to hold in Hawaii and Guam!!!!!!!
Because, I love Hawaii and guam. I love sea.
I play surfing and wakeboard in summer.
So I love sea so much!!!!
I want to wedding with to see sea.


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

I will definitely wear white wedding dress!!
I will definitely go to Hawaii and Guam!!
I think wedding ceremony is important.
Because wedding ceremonoy is one time!! some people may hold wedding ceremony twice.
But almost people hold wedding ceremony one time.
So I think wedding ceremony is good memory.

Superstitions Homework

We talked about many superstitions in many countries, but do you think it is important to talk about them? Why?
Is communication affected by superstitions?
Do you believe in Japanese superstitions?
If so, what superstitions, what do they mean and why do you do,use, or believe in them?


I think it is not important to talk about them.
Because It is different by each country.
And, there is not an opportunity to speak about the superstition with someone.

And , I don't believe in Japanese supersutition.
There are many superstitions in Japan.
For example, when we visit to the hospital, we don't bring container-grow plant.
This means prolong hospitalization.
It may be done the reality if I believe a superstition.
But, A superstition is persistently a superstition.

But......


Supersutition is funny & interestion!!!!

Today we discussed the language of clothes. After listening to the lecture and the meaning of colors in clothing, answer the following questions
1. Do you judge people according to what they wear? Why?

I may judge people according to what they wear.
Because I don't know about the person.
I think that to judge only clothes isn't good, because it is just clothes.
However I always may judge it.
If they wear dirty clothes, maybe I think that I don't like them.
Because, clothes is dirty. It is wrong to judge only clothes.
But，I will judge clothes people acooding to what they wear only first impression.

Yes, I do.
I think that Japanese society puts an importance on clothing when judging other people from another country.
In this summer, I saw two people from another country in Hiroshima station.
I thought that they are drity life.
Because, they wore strange clothes.
I can't explain this fashion, but it was so strange and dirty.
Then I judged them only clothes. Maybe they are drity life.
So, Japanese society puts an importance on clothing when judgeing other people from another country.
