Media is also to blame

Recently, it takes too much time to broad
about the Kameda on the TV.
Perhaps I can’t spend a day without seeing it.
I didn’t see the much Daiki Kameda versus
Daisuke Naito which many people regard as problem.
But I can imagine the game would be terrible,
because the performance of the Kameda went
to excess, I always thought.
However, is it true that the Kameda was only to blame?
I don’t think so.
Media is also to blame as well as the Kameda.
Media fell all over the Kameda, because they can
get audience rating, bring effect of economy.
This issue results from Media.
I know it cost much money to play sports.
But, can't we enjoy sports itself? (122 words)

Prejudice For Black

Now we are studying about race.
Then I have what I remember.
Why we were taught by elementary school teacher,
“Black people aren’t scary. They are gentle in fact.
So, we must not have prejudice for black people.”
It was taught when the assemble which
foreigner talked about their own country was held.
Among foreigner have white people as well as black people.
But probably teacher didn’t say about white people.
From our elementary school student view,
black people is foreigner as same as white people.
It is only difference in skin color.
They speak awkward Japanese and fluent foreign country language.
And they come in contact with us gently.
Nevertheless, why adult taught child only about black people?
I wonder the adult doesn’t recognize that these taught bring
prejudice for black people.
Perhaps, the education about foreigner now isn’t as same as
10 years ago.
However, if it continues,
prejudice for black people in Japan will exist all the time

The form of grave

What do you want your born to go after your die?
Now, in Japan, the grave in urban is so popular.
So you can’t buy it easily, even though you want.
It is heard that there are a person who wait for
getting her father’s grave for three years.
However, I have a question.
Is it really important to buy grave?
There is my grand father’s grave in Nagano.
I don’t intend to say it isn’t important.
But, what will it do after our die?
Perhaps, someone will hold a memorial service
and it won’t be long future.
If so, I want my born to sprinkle on the sea or mountain.
In fact, it is the new and more and more popular way.
My family also wants to.
I think it is the best because I don’t worry about
the future of my born.
I don’t want to worry about the future of my born.

The habit of talking

Do you have habit when talking?
For example, I play with straw or case of straw
when I talk with friends in fast food.
It sometimes brings impression to listener
that I’m not interested in speaker’s talk.
And I often start conversation without subject
when talking in Japanese.
It sometimes leads misunderstanding.
I asked this question some of my friends recently.
One of them said that he stare at listener for a long time.
It is not bad habit, we have learned from a child
that we should talk with looking listener’s eyes.
But, it sometimes brings uncomfortable feelings.
These habits are done unconsciously,
because it is habit. (124 words)

Difference of the time

From now on, I have learned we have to keep the time.
In Japan, it is generally for children to learn
“act before 5 minutes.”
We regard time as same as money.
It is shown by the proverb “Time is money”
So if someone is late for something, even if a bit,
if he is late again and again, the relationship to
someone go to bad, or is regarded as irresponsible people.
However, it isn’t general in many other countries.
When I went to Australia in the elementary school 3rd year,
They didn’t keep the time.
If the gather time is 14:30,
they shop without care around 14:30.
And somewhere (I can’t recall the name of country)
held contest of keeping time,
And the champion said “I’m regarded as strange person,
because I keep the time.
Almost all people don’t keep the time in my firm.”
This is cultural difference I studied in ELP reader.
So, if I go to other country,
I want to have knowledge that there is difference of
time value between my country to other country.

The image of China

　I have so bad image for China.
When I went to China in this summer,
I had a stomachache all day I stayed,
I couldn’t enjoy sightseeing to the Grate Wall of China.
Moreover, my friend and I were paid
unreasonable fare for tax driver,
and food which is cooked with
too much oil didn’t agree with me,
I had experienced the state
I couldn’t eat nothing for the first time.
It was precious experience in a certain sense,
but I don’t want to China again.
The other day, my brother went to China at a school trip.
He came back to Japan with good image of China.
He said that food didn’t agree with him,
but he could eat in some degree,
and he could so enjoy in China.
He also said he want to go China again.
Perhaps, the image we have depend on what we see,
what we do and are done by people who lives there.
If so, I may unlucky.

The reason why I am busier

It is difficult for me to write blog like spring term.
I am busier in autumn than spring term.
Why I am so busy? I think about it.
First, ELP is harder in autumn term than spring term.
Amount of text I have to read increase, and
I have to annotate text more strictly.
It is first time to read such amount and annotate text strictly.
It takes so much time to study English, because I’m not good at English.
So, it is so hard for me to study English in ELP.
Second, my part time job is harder in autumn term than spring term.
I have one student, who takes the entrance examination next year,
So I have to analyze his weakness, research about the school he wants to go,
and solve problem that I treat in class.
It is worthwhile job, but it is hard to do these things.
However, I enjoy school life in autumn term as same as in spring term.
All things bring my life rich.
So, I try to best the rest of autumn term.

The defference view of magazines

Do you read magazine?
If you answer yes, why you read magazine?
The other day, I have chance to talk about
view of magazine with boy who are my friend.
Then I realize there are the view differences between
Man and woman.
Man read magazine in order to get some profits.
So, they prefer to magazine which contains useful or
Trivial knowledge. One of the famous free papers R25 typify
These kind of magazines.
On the contrary, woman read magazine in order to get some
Others idea for something, love is most common I think.
So, in magazines for woman, there are many article
Which contains questionnaire and interview of famous person
Such as model or actress.
Of course, all magazines apply for these classifications,
But many magazines apply for these.
According to this, we can know that
things which they emphasis on are difference between man and woman
It is interesting difference, isn’t it? (155 words)

Craftsman

Last week, I went to the fireworks display.
It was so nice, especially I like Niagara
which was like waterfall of Niagara and changed colors.
Japanese traditional skills including fireworks
are so dedicated and beautiful I think.
However, it is so difficult to keep these skills,
because it is difficult to bring up successor.
For example, it is said that it takes so many years
to bring up full-fledge craftsman of fireworks.
They have to pass treating gunpowder and
learn making fireworks in feeling. In Japan,
generally speaking, it takes eight years
to get only skill of making fireworks.
They have to bare severe training.
In addition to this, while he is apprenticeship,
he can’t get enough salary, so he barely live.
It doesn’t apply only craftsman of fireworks,
but also other craftsman.
That’s why, now, less and less young
people want to be craftsman.
So, I’m afraid that I won’t be able to see
fireworks like today’s. (158 words)

What is peace?

The other day, one Japanese journalist was killed in Myanmar.
My family (Of course including me) was shocked at that news,
Though he wasn’t our acquaintance.
His shape laying on the street in the picture is impressed on me.
He dropped but turn his camera to people
who run away from the force.
I’m not he, but I think he wanted to convey miserable reality to us.
I realized again that the war happen somewhere at this moment,
Though Japan is in peace.
I think it is responsible for us to know miserable
reality around the world,
And think about real peace. (102 words)
