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.

Respond to the article 'Four marines investigated for rape'
In this article 'Four marines investigated for rape',it is reported that four marines are suspected of assaulting the woman.Two writers,Manuel Sandoval and Kevin Egan,makes responses to it each.
Manuel Sandoval the writer of 'Don't judge marines too fast',uses her authority that she was once assigned to Tachikawa Air Base.She seems to say from the logic'"you can take the girl out of the bar, but you can't take the bar out of the girl." that all people who work in a bar do such a bad act such as going out with Four men and being raped by them.In this logic,all people who work in a bar are denied but it is not correct.For that part, is is implied that four marines do not have to be punished because the woman had fault.However,they should be strongly punished through the fact by police.
Finally,she insists on whether military in U.S. is needed or not.They should protect their own countries from crimes such as rape as their work.The content has nothing to do with whether the four marines are punished or not,it is to make reader imply that it is dangerous to put military in other country including Japan because as people like the four marines,there are some bad millitaries.However.unless they are punished,military all around the world are needed because they are here to protect their countries and other countries.

Why I am in IES
When I took a first TOEFL test,I miraculously got a good score.I could not believe why I got such a good score.I was very happy to that,but I was so worried about IESa class.I also could not believe why I could be an IESa student because my ability of English is poor.
According to my guess, there are some people who have lived in foreign countries in IESa.They speak English very fluently.After one month passed,I was full of much stress because I thought I could not follow the class of IESa,reading is difficult and I cannot say what I want to in English. But,I worked hard by myself and something in my mind has changed.
One of the reason why I am in IES is to come true my dream.
In fact,my dream is uncertain but I have been interested in air hostess since around junior high school.From the time, I already decided to enter the foreign language university and improve my English skill.When I heard of IES,I had interest in IES soon and signed.
Second,I want to study abroad in 3rd grade.I really want to go to Canada because I have been to Canada and it was really really nice place.I wanna go there again!!It's my big dream and my parents also allow me to go abroad.
I want to improve my English skill for my dream and make foreign friends!!
For these things,I think I am in IESa class now.
There are many opportunities to speak,write in English and listen in this class.
But,in fact,I cannot say what I want to in English in front of class.
So,I think my strong self-confidence is needed!!I'll keep my effort in order to stay in IESa!!

In Hyogo university where my best friend goes,FLOW will come.Probably,not everyone know them(in fact,I don't know well)However, their concert will be exciting one because their songs are passionate.I'll go there.
Also,it is good chance to go to school festivals where your friends attend because you can see them and talk a lot and enjoy eating or stage.
That would become good memory in your life!!

Japanese:A language in a state of flux
The article written by Tomoko Otake seems currect,I think.Now in Japan,people cannot live without gairaigo because they had already forgotten how to express the word in Japanese compared to people in an old time.I think the origin is rapid importation of gairaigo as the author says.
In fact,people especially young generation use katakana when speaking and writing just like me. I suggest that government should consider the linguistic problem with people in foreign countries and take back the original Japanese as soon as possible If they do not do,the most meanings of Japanese would disappear gradually.I think the effective way for it is firstly to change the way of education from elementary school to high school like changing the content of teaching materials.These students learn Japanese language at school in Japan.It is the first step to teach the original Japanese.
And I think reading Japanese old book is good for teaching kanji because many kinds of kanji which are useful and may not know ever are included into it.As I read it,I probably can learn kanji more. I have heard that people who like reading book not magazine know more kinds of kanji than people who rarely read books.I think it is true.
Of course,katakana is useful way for us because it is easy to speak and write.However,people should cherish the existence of kanji and use kanji it is difficult to express though.I also think for Japanese that knowing gairaigo more than Japanese language is kind of shame as Japanese.

Long time no see!!
Hello!Everyone(＾∀＾*)
How was your long summer vacation??
I am glad to see you!!Most of you would return to your hometown and spend with your family and friends.I wanna know how you spent the summer vacation...Let's talk and talk everyone!!
I had a very good time on my summer vacation.I did a part-time job more than usual and sometimes I met some friends who have not met for a long time. Some of them I met
were friends who have not met for two years.I met them in Canada for the first time and we became good friends. At first,I met them,I did not know What they looked like because of two years term.We continued to talk because there were a lot of things to talk.I was very glad to meet them.
As you know,there are many firework festivals in summer!!I bought new yukata this year which is black with pink-flower.I went "Tenjin-matsuri" and "Kobe festival" and "Ashiya summer festival"!!I enjoyed very much★#But,I hope people would decrease at the time..
I went two days trip to Kyoto with my best friend Etsuko.(I wanna go trip more and more though;)We went Shijo and Sanjyo in Kyoto,and there we ate parfait made by green tea.
Let's have a look of it!It looks delicious,isn't it?..Yeah!It was very very nice taste!!You should go there when you have a chance to go to Kyoto.We stayed at nice hotel and more we went jinrikisha for the first time!It was surprise for me.I thought it is uncomfortable to sit but definitely not,it was very comfortable...
I ate a shaved ice made of soybean flour.We are told the place by driver of jinrikisha called "Gen-chan".It was very very great!Perhaps,I would eat a lot of kinds of sweet food this summer! My weight definitely did increase..
I went to Universal Studios Japan with Yuko. It is maybe seven times to go there.So, I know almost the ways.I should buy one-year passport because it costs 5800 yen per a day...
We rode all of most famous rides because of less people than usual. We rode spider man twice.Most impressed thing is roller coaster made last year or so. We can choose one of the five songs including "Dream Come True"'s song.We both rode it for the first time, so I was very excited before we rode it. But, actually it was so scary for me. After we took off, I spilled out a little tear from my eyes.haha However, it was so fun!!I wanna go there more and more.
Thank you Yuko(≧з≦)/
Although I did not go to many places,I really enjoyed this summer with many people!!
I thank them for making nice memories with me☆
I need to study English more because I did not use English this summer.
I'll do my best this semester.
