Homework#10

I don't agree with the witer.

First, I think the education system spend enough time teaching Japanese. When I was a junior high school student, all students read a book in the morning. It is called "朝読". As reading a book, I learned kanji, some new words and the pleasure of reading. In my opinion, it is not to spend enough time teaching Japanese but rather to have no a desire to learn things for students. I work at a cram school now. I always feel it is difficult to teach some students who don't have a desire to learn. I think it's important to teach them importance of studying.

Second, I don't think Japanese fall in age of English. Certainly, some students may be confused by a difference between English grammar and Japanese grammar. But, almost students don't use English in their life. When I was a junior high school student, me too. They use English in only classes. I think it is not so influence.

Third, I think studying English hard is not so important. Certainly, if Japanese students can speak English, Japan become be a global society. People can communicate with foreigner easily. But, I think it is the most important thing to value our mother tongue. First, students should learn Japanese, and next, they should learn English.

Homework#9

Do you agree or disagree with the author (who is Japanese)?

I agree with the author.
Because women is interested in romantic love.
Of course, me too ^^
I often talk with my friends about LOVE(women say it's "koi-bana" or "girl's talk"). for example, ideal love situation, ideal boyfriend and husband, and so on. Generally, I think women is more interested in romantic love than men.

In an article, Japanese men are less interested in love, let alone such an "omoni (heavy burden)" as marriage and "kosodate (child-rearing)."
I think almost Japanese men like women, but some of them think love (or marriage) is messy. Almost women have ideal love. Especially, when men are forced women's ideal love, they think messy. I think men have a thinking that love is light.
