Homework#9

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

Uh... I am not sure that problem. It is good things that to study and learn a lot of things but Japan education at present is "YUTORI KYOUIKU". So in the case of give a students too much assignment, I think students can not study one language intensively. I guess what is most important is to motivate the students. If students wants to study more, I think studying oneself or taking a cram scool is better.

2. Read this interesting opinion from the Mainichi newspaper. Do you agree with the author? Is being fluent in English a waste of time? http://mdn.mainichi.jp/perspectives/news/20081230p2a00m0na010000c.html

No, I don't think so. First of all, it is impossible to say that Japanese English teacher do not speak English well. Of course, Japanese English teacher can speak English fluently, too, but they are no match for native. However, I think their enthusiasm are much the same as native. Second of all, I have never ever thought that to study anything is waste of time. I think process is very valuable.

About Movie

Homework#8

・Do you agree or disagree with the author (who is Japanese). Please explain why in your blog.

I agree with her. Because man is selfish and candid than woman. Especially Japanese guy is shy and non-passionate. I sometime don't understand what they want and thinking. For example, in the case of "Instead of taking her in his arms and declaring likewise (as she had envisioned) he looked acutely embarrassed, turned away and muttered: "Sou yuno, nashini shiyoyo (Let's not go there)." , although he definitely make a meaningful behavior to her, when it comes to the crunch, he has no backbone and take back what he does. I think woman is excitable but man is too cool at all times.

Homework#7

・Have you ever eaten in a foreign restaurant? Where? What did you eat? Did you make any mistakes? Please explain your experience. Did you learn anything?

Yes, I have. I ate French in luxury hotel of Tokyo. I did not make big mistake. However, I was strained from beginning to end. Because that situation was very formal and there were splendid atmosphere. I have learned about table manners before, but I could not relaxing and my mind went blank. I just remember vaguely French taste. By now, I think that the experience was a good lesson to me.

About Movie

・Do you think this is a true story?

Yes, I do.
In fact, I guess mixed marriage have a lot of problems.
For example, there are language and culture difference.

・Can this really happen in today's modern times?

I think so.
Recently, mixed marriage has now lost a lot of it's novelty is no longer anything out of the ordinary.
However there are a lot of people how be proud of home country.
So I think this problem really happen now days.
