Education

I agree with the author, because English skill isn't good. Also, Japanese don't study harder than other country. I think that Japanese has to study harder than now. However, I don't think that elementary school student must not start study English, because a full-time English teacher is not enough in the elementary school. The English education in the elementary school begins little by little, but it is the present conditions now that the teacher who cannot speak English teaches English. Then I think that there is not a meaning even if I begin English education with the elementary school. I don’t think that early English education is good.

Also, I agree that Japanese doesn't want to stand out like an alien, after all. “Children are reluctant to stand out by speaking better or worse than their peers, so few students are eager to speak up in class.” I think this opinion is correct. Especially, when we feel that oneself isn’t inferior to others, the Japanese we aren’t going to speak. I’m so, too. Japanese has to become more actively than now.

Also, English is very important for us now, I have to study hard and hard. I want Japanese to use English a lot.

A Happy New Year!!

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

I disagree with the author because I think Japanese men think so. This article is very rude to Japanese men. I think Japanese men are very kind, funny, gentle and so on. Anyway, I think Japanese men are very nice.

When I read this article, I surprised. Because I didn’t think that the Japanese men think so. If I fall in love with the man, I will become very passionate. But, my boyfriend may not think so. If it is right, I’m very sad. Surely, if a man has a girlfriend, a man’s expenditure increases. However, women are same. Practically, my expenditure increases, too. I don’t think that is waste of money because I love him. Anyway, I think that all of Japanese men don’t think so. When I see a lot of couples, they look so very happy. In short, I think a man look for the woman, and a woman look for the man.
