Class#12 Education

I think Japanese people should protect Japanese. Now, internationalization is advancing. Many people can speak English. So people tend to overlook native language. Japanese should polish and respect Japanese. I think it is good things to use English when we have communication with people in the world. Common language is very important. It doesn't mean Japanese neglect native language.

I think simplification of Japanese is good. Because the age is changing. If only language doesn't change, it is so strange. some worse die, some worse is born.

Class#11 Men and Women

I understand this article, But I don't know whichever agree or disagree. Recently, young men are said "Soushoku-kei" in Japanese. That means a man who is not active about love. I think it is not bad thing. Because if a man have interesting things than love, he should put his heart in it. If a man is interested in love, he should do the best. we have a problem that is the declining birthrate. but we can not activate man's motivation. So we should go along with nature.

Class#10 Table Manners

1.Have you ever eaten in a restaurant in a foreign country? Where? What did you eat? Did you make any mistakes? Please explain your experience?
Last summer, I went to go to America. My host family took me some restaurants. Japanese restaurant, Amish restaurant and staff like that. I did not make mistake because I had studied about American table manner. Before I went to go to America, I heard we need to pay some tip in America. but my host family didn't pay tip. I don't know why they didn't pay it.

2. Did you learn anything?
Yes, I did. I have never been a high class restaurant. so I don't know real table manner of America. In general restaurant, I think there are not a lot of difference between Japanese restaurant and American restaurant.
