I will try to write something complicated

Japanese government consider introducing studying English from elementary school. On average, Japanese students are not good at their native language, Japanese. That's because lack of time when they are taught.Japanese in elementary school. Japanese government introduced a system called "Yutori kyouiku " from 2002. Yutori kyouiku means loosed educational system. Although it sounds not good, it has a sort of good thing.,for example, because of it, we can spend our time with family,friends,anybody more.Before starting this system, we didn't have time to do something freely.It is a sort of advantage of the system.That's why current students who take mandatory education from 6 to 15 years old don't have enogh time to study each subjects deeply. Especially Language is placed importance because of increasing internationalization. There is a discrepancy between something government try to do and current system for students who take mandatory education. In my opinion, when people start to learn second language, native language is important to understand second language quickly. If we could make an environment like living in America, Canada,UK somewhere English speaker live, we may not need to study Japanese so often like now,but we couldn't make it absolutely. It is preferable to use second language to communicate with many people who don't speak Japanese,but before communicating with them, we should communicate with many people who do speak Japanese. By the way, speaking of Language , many people think Speaking is the most important part of language ability, but there are three abilities, writing,hearing  and reading except for speaking. We should do every ability equally. To get these ability, we should learn grammar first. Grammar is connecting with all abilities.It is essential to know native language to learn other languages grammar.There are many difficult words and sentenses in grammar book. As a result native language is also important to learn second language.

Strange situation I often dream when I'm in bed.

I have looked a dream which is so strange that I can't understand and which is vivid for me to remember. This dream is that Just a girl or boy and me are in my dream. In the situation, I am distant from a girl who looks pretty and little. While I keep looking at her,she notice and come close to me. After she has come close to me, I has noticed that she is not pretty actually. At the moment I noticed ,I always try to escape from the girl for a long time. I feel escaping for all of time when I sleep,so I'm tired at the time I get up. Although I've been tired working part time, I can't sleep well. I thought that I have to solve this problem soon,so I consulted with kind of my consultant, sis. She said to me about her guess that I have trouble with studying English for TOEIC. I have to study English for it,but I've hesitated to study English for it during spring vacation.There is a reason why I have to study English for TOEIC. It is that I declared in fron of most of friends of mine that I will get over 800points on TOEIC after spring vacation,so I know I have to study. The more I think about that, the more I hesitate to study English for it. Not pretty girl may be related to TOEIC. I often think what I should do during spring vacation. Because I spend much time on thinking about it, I can't do anything I am satisfied with.As a result of mine, It is important for me to not think what I have to do and to think what I want to do

Revised version of Your Valuable university Life

I am writing to first year students. I think you feel nervous the first day of university and look forward to it. You may be in complicated situation,but please don't worry. I explain about something fun in KGU.

There are many aspects you can enjoy,get information how to study English,have opportunity to meet many new people.

First, let me explain about the places you will often go after entering KGU. Library is the most useful place for students to look for something they don't know, they are interested in. The library is very big, and has many books,DVDs,VHS,CD,archive. It has a special feature which is very helpful for you. Library can share books with other Libraries. You can check out books which are not KGU library by doing it. As you already know, you have to do anything in silence in library,but there is a place in library which is called "study room." You can speak a lot and study with your friends there. You have to speak by moderate volume. If you don't do that or you bother others, you will be forced to get out library,and you will feel awkward next time when you enter. Most of librarians may be kind of you if you are polite,and they help you find books you can't find by yourself.There is another beneficial thing by keeping good relationship with librarians. It is you can order books which are not in KGU library. As I explained above, although you can get books from other libraries, you can request KGU library buy books you want to read. It is easier for person keeping good relationship like me to order.That's why you should use library politely and usefully.

Next is English Lounge, you can communicate with some international students and senior students. All of them are very friendly. Even if you don't speak English, international students may understand what you say because they are very smart, most of them had already studied Japanese in their country before they came KGU. They like to talk in Japanese. Sometimes you will be a teacher in English Lounge. Even though they can speak Japanese , their Japanese is not perfect,so they need you help. Please help them understand Japanese clearly by using easy Japanese. You will be helped by them in return someday.

Finally, KGU is nice place for eager students to study. When you bother how to study or don't understand something complicated. You can solve the problem by yourself by using places I explained or by asking professor, teacher,classmates. Most of people I have meet so far are very kind of me,and talk to me friendly,so I have never hesitated to go to KGU. Don't worry anything. You will just enjoy university as a student of KGU.

BR 1-13: Poor Old Mum!

This book has encouraged me to communicate with my parents more friendly. If my parents appear in front of people to show something or compete something with others' parents, I feel embarrassed. After having read this book, my mind has changed a little,and I've decided not to think so. This book is so attractive for you that once you start to read it, you can't stop it,

1-03b: Thematic Reviews of The Movie, Mrs. Doubtfire

In this movie, there are four main characters. They are family members each other.They have personality individually,and most of them are young. Their roles are father,  the father's two daughters, his son respectively. The father is featured on this movie mainly. He seems not good at communicating with people. Fast, he has a job as a narrator. He is good at cheering up people by doing something fun.He quits it suddenly and he gets divorced. After that His sorry story starts.

Older one of two daughters of his are like a mother. She cares about her younger sister. When she eats dinner, she help her eat dinner by using spoon. Sometimes she is mad at her father because he
looks lazy. She also supports the father with organizing family members. She is very indispensable in his family.

A son is in puberty. He doesn't want to do anything told by father or older sister. He likes and respects the father. When he has to leave him, he looks very sad. The scene is very good. It may be a part of the scenes that you are moved. Usually, he doesn't try to do anything aggressively,but he expresses his real emotion in the scene.

Frankly speaking,  Younger daughter's role is not meaningful. I don't think the role is important for this movie.

This family members are faced with many problems, for example, they have to separate to live, the father has to find a new job and a place to live. I don't know what happen to them. In my opinion, American movies tend to make last part of movies happy,and make people who watches them happy.

I hope they finally feel happy. Each of them are not perfect and they have something improved. In father's case, he has to become good at communicating with people and care about his extra wife.
In the daughter's case, they should be more generous to the father. If they could become able to do it, the father would understand them.In the son's case, he should behave more like an adult. the problem will be solved easily because the more time he spends, thee more the way he thinks change. After his thought completely change, he can communicate with his father easily.

I learnt some things by watching this movie. That is I have to care about family members more carefully. Unless I do that, my family members are disgusted at me,but they will not express their real emotion because they are family.

Last week, I handed in a report on phenomenon happened around people. Contents in which I wrote are about ethic of double-bind, way to make identity in our life.Let me introduce them.

First, the double-bind may be Japanese-English. The phenomenon absolutely happen to us. When children live with parents, they may be faced with argument between their father and mother. And then,they are into the argument in which they can't rely on their parents. The more time spend and continue it, the more they feel stressful. As a result of it, unfortunately they will get ill. It is hard for children to solve it by themselves.

Next, the phenomenon of ways to make identity of each of us. There are many ways to make our identity.,but there is a thing sharing with all of the ways. It is that our identity depend on society around us. Even if, there are two people, and

Relationship

I think we have many relationships with friends, teachers, strangers. acquaintances, of course, parents. Those relationships are the most important thing to live. Unless we make any relationships with someone, we don't think that we get used to places we live.

To make good relationships, there are many ways to do. First, when we walk outside, we have many opportunities to meet many people. I think they are strangers first. For the first time We should try to talk to them formally. If we do so impolitely, we can't make good relations. If I were a child, I think I don't have to care about the way to talk ti people because everyone thinks children usually talk impolitely or prettily. Anyway after talking to people, we have to think what we talk. It is the most important to talk the contents matched with people to make good relationships. I'm not good at talking about such things,so I often think what things are funny for many people. I often watch comedy program on TV,and I imitate people on the TV program to make friends laugh.

Another way is to show people our efforts. I want to make relationships with people who are interested in TOEIC. In fact, some people in English department are interested in it,but they hesitate to say so. That's why it is so hard for me to find them. I should try to get good score on TOEIC test to become easier to find them.       This is because there are less people in English department than other departments. Rumors stretches suddenly and quickly. It's a kind of good thing and bad thing. I don't remember when,but I was able to find some people interested in it, and I talked them I had never talked before then. They had looked nervous to talk to me first,but changed. Now they talk to me very friendly and I enjoy to talk to them.

Finally, we have to make relationships. I think we should not hesitate to do that. we should enjoy communicating with many people.
