Today'S class was fun. I was sooo happy to hear his lecture.
Any way, I would like to write my opinion from reading what the new Minister of Education in the newspapers. It was made or published in the December 6th International Herald Tribune.

Do you agree with the writer? Why? Give at least 3 examples to support your answer.
I do agree about the country has a surprisingly low level of fluency in English. even we start learning english in 7th grade. And I didn'T realize about Japan managed to become one of the world's largest economies without its people mastering much English.
I think it is good things to learn English. But I don't think we have to start leaning english from a pre-school. I don't think leaning english in the early age helps us.

homework #3
Today we discussed the language of clothes, I don't judge people according to what they wear. Because, I think everybody have their taste. if every body have same taste, i don't think it is good. Yes, I think Japanese society puts an importance on clothing when judging other people from another country. I am wearing black sweater. I'm not sure this would reflecr to me, I like black in a winter time, So I have a lot of clothes with black.
Next week we will discuss friends, I always share a lot of things. like what happened at work, what happened at my house, what I did on a weekends....etc... but I think I don't discuss about what happened in a past. I'm not sure, if I have different friends for different parta of my life. If they are my friends, I always talk same subject same as others.
