How was your 3days holiday?
It must have been a free holiday because we had no homework!!
I felt strange about that because every weekends,we had to do homework at least one.
So,I would like to write about the holiday.
On Friday,I was so free because my parents went to Hiroshima to help my grandparents.There were only me and our dog at home(my older-brother was also but he always works until late at night)In the afternoon,I went my part-time job and worked for 5 hours.In the evening,I slept for about 3 hours with my dog and
watched "Meangirls" which I rent at TSUTAYA and went to bed.What was an
uninteresting day!But,I enjoyed very much.
On Saturday,Yuji and I went to Kiyomizu temple in Kyoto to see a maple tree.
There were too many people there so it was hard to move.Under the situation,we could see some beautiful maple trees. But,I would recommend you to go to see them a little bit later because they were not perfectly red.But,they were for sure tasteful.
You should go to Kyoto to see a maple tree!
Although it was not that special holiday,I had a very good time.
I hope that winter vacation will come soon!!

Protect the whales off Australia
For today's assignment,from many letters,I picked up the letter entitled "Protect the whales off Australia" written by Craig Stringer.It is a claim about Japanese whaling including Migaloo who is an Australian preferred humpback whale in order to do research him.The plan will start in less than one week and she thinks it should not be done.
Through her logic,she is trying to make readers realize that how Japanese plan is stupid by using numbers of how many whales they are
planing to kill(in this case,she insists 50 humpback whales and 10 fin whales would be killed)and she explains the detailed tragic process of researching whales like their bodies are born and peered.These contents implies that the plan would lead to an extinction of Australian whales and in addition to that,although she does not use her emotion in the letter directly,she is trying to warn Japanese government not to do it for the future.
She seems to have proud as Australian from the letter because she mentions that Australian government does not do such a thing which might lead to an extinction rather it keeps protecting from now on.So,one thing that she is an Australian is her authority in this letter.

New law;Fingerprinting
This article"Not so welcome to Japan any longer." is protest against the law which is when foreigners enter Japan,they have to take their fingerprint or photograph to identity whether they are terrorists or not.It will be start by an immigration bureau and the justice ministry in Nov.20.
The writer feels that this law is smug and arrogant, and either dishonest or dangerously deluded because it will invade human right and fingerprinting and photographing do not completely leave who is a terrorist,it is just for establishing identity.
I think the writer seems to be true.Fingerprinting might help prevention of terrorists effectively but if it is applied to all foreigners except for terrorists,they would feel that Japanese are unwelcome to Japan and they might be invade their privacy.Certainly,it has an effect to warn international terrorists to stop entering Japan but it will affect all foreigners who has nothing to do with terrorists.

Response to the two articles
Today's article is about discrimination in Japan.Six people who are from some countries are focused on the survey about which minority groups faces the worst discrimination in Japan and each of them says their own opinion.
Into these responses,I agreed with the opinions of Yuko Furusawa and Aki Yokota.They say handicapped people are discriminated in Japan.I think it true.The expected improvement of it does not happen.
What is the biggest problem of that is getting job as they say.Actually,people who have handicap do not get job which they want to do.The job is limited because they are regarded as people who cannot do everything.However,like Furusawa,I want to say
that government should create chance to get job for them.People are same only just there is an inconvenient parts.
Next,I want to make a response to Mike Dewood who wrote 'Ebb and flow of discrimination.'He says that it depends on the place we live that which groups face discrimination.He lives in Nagasaki and many Japanese hate American there.The fact like kids throw rocks at him must be true because he actually experienced them in Nagasaki.However,he limited such a discrimination as problem only in Nagasaki.It is definitely not correct. Whether which group are most discriminated do not have to do with where you live in.We can see such a situation anywhere in Japan.Although I never seen such a bad situation in Japan,I can trust him because the fact is truth through his own experience. So,Japanese government should take measure of these problems.
