Education

Do you agree with the writer Minae Mizumura?
I disagree with Minae Mizumura. I have three reasons.

First, of course Japanese speak Japanese as first language, so we can use Japanese well. Therefore, we do not must study Japanese harder than foreign language.
Second, it is essential for us to use Internet at the present day. Internet is helping our life, so the advent of the Internet is not bad things.
Third, today Japan should be more international. Of course we must treasure first language, but we also need to take in foreign culture.

Men and Women

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

When I read this essay, I was suprised and suffered from shock. Especially, this sentence hurt me, "Onnanoko wa mendoudashi, renraku shinakya-naranaishi, purezento toka okane kakarushi..."
What is "mendou"??? Why??? I can not belive it!!!
Beyond queation, recent young men becoming increase "soushokukei-danshi（草食系男子）" in Japan. I hate "soushokukei-danshi" very much, and I love "nikushokukei-danshi（肉食系男子）"!!
I think that men must behave like a man!! I wish that men in Japan become more greedy and more manly!!

Table Manners

1. Have you ever eaten in a restaurant in a foreign country? Where?
What did you eat? Did you make any mistakes?
Yes, I have. When I visited in the United States of America, I went to the restaurant with my host family. We ordered chicken, mashed potatoes, breads and each drinks. I was suprised when food came on our table. Almost foods were very big and much!!!!! I had never seen the mashued potatoes of so large serving and the chiken of so big. I suffered from culture shock then. I think that maybe I didn't make a mistake then.

2. Did you learn anything?
Yes, I did. I learned that refill of drink are free and we can take the eating remainder home. I think its are very good systems :)
