1. Do you judge people according to what they wear? Why?
I think clothes is related to first impression. For example, all people wear a suit when job hunting.
But, I think it takes time to get to know a person's good point. So, nobody know another person's real character. It is important to don't judge someone on only clothes.
2. Do you think Japanese society puts an importance on clothing when judging other people from another country?
Yes, I think so.
It is one of the important things.
Of course, the most important thing is character, but I think it is difficult for Japanese society to judge only an interview. If so, it's the most easy way to judge a foreigner's clothing.
3. What colors are you wearing now? Do they reflect your mood?
I'm wearing a sweater, a skirt, and tights now.
Yes, they are.
This sweater is new, so I feel happy.
Favorite or new clothes make me happy.

1.Death and Funerals
a. Do you have any international friends or a host family?
I went to England last summer, and I stayed host family's house.
But, I don't contact with them now ;(
If a family member died, I wouldn't say anything.
I will just stand by them because I don't know what should I say.
I think sometimes word may hurt someone's feelings.
It is the most important to enter into a family's feelings, I think.
b. Have you ever been to a foreign funeral?
No, I haven't.
I have never been to a foreign funeral.
2. The language of Clothes
a.Why are Japanese designer label crazy? Why is what you wear so important?
Recently, Japanese people tend to be careful about personal appearance, and I like to dress up, too. I think almost Japanese people regard looks as one of the important points.
b.What does “Don’t judge a book by it’s cover.” mean to you?
This mean to me is "Don't judge people by their looks."
In the same point as people, when we choose a book, we should look the contents of a book carefully.

Homework#1
Q1,Do you agree with the web site's description?What do you do that can be called "wrapping"? Give examples and reasons for your actions.
I don't agree with wrapping of Japanese gifts because these are too much!!
Recentlly, Japanese supermarket tackle the "eco bag" policy.
This content is charging for plastic shopping bags.
By doing so, people don't use plastic shopping bags that don't need. But, I think people should reconsider wrapping of Japanese gifts, too. Do the wrapping really need?
I can't say which, agree or disagree with wrapping of a house.
It is the important thing to preserve a privacy.
If I were put into a fishbowl, I couldn't live well.
But, we can't communicate too much more of privacy.
I think balance is valuable point.
Q2,Where do you go when you die?
I think I go to Heaven when I die.
When I was child, I asked my mother about my grandfather.
My grandfather died of a disease before I was born.
But, my mother said "he went to Heaven."
I think Heaven is the place where all dead people live in happily.
b. Explain why do Japanese have death memorial services 1 month, 1 year, 3 years, 7 years, etc. after a person's death?
It is very sad to go out of people's mind.
I think memorial services (1 month, 1 year, etc.) prevent the memorial with dead person from forgetting.
By doing these services, people can remember dead person each days.
