Minnesota life 2

Next day, I went to the school the first time. I was very surprised. The school was very big and very spacious. I couldn't remember where my class room was. American students were very tall. They practiced volleyball. They looked like very strong. My teacher is Joel. He told us American jokes everyday. It was a little hard for me to understant it, but American jokes was very funny.
I went to the harbor. We took in the ship. It was so big! We enjoyed it, but I had a jetlag. It was so hard for me bacause I was sleepy all day.
After I came back home, I went to walking with my host mother and host father. I don't like sports, but I can do walking. My host family likes sports. They often go walking or running. They were very strong. We were walking for two hours. I was surprised. It was a little hard for me, but Walking was so fun. There were the lake and forest. I like natre.

I went Minnesota in this summer vacation. I had a good time!!!
I will write about my Minnesota life. I rode the plane for 14 hours. It was so long.  was very tired, but my host family waited me in the airport when I arrived the airport in Minnesota. I met my host family the first. I was so happy because they were so happy to see me, but I was surprised. I thought my host family were two people. They were couple, but my host family were four pwople!!! Who were you!?
I was very surprised and I wanted to know who you were. My host family introduced about them.
Sindy and Loonie was my host family. Dian is Sindy's sister and her husband is Byron. They were very close and very kind I like them very much!! After that, we went to the park because we went the picnic!!  Students and their houst family had a dinner. This time was a lot of fun. I introduced my friend, Miki!! Miki and I are very close. We went to the same high school. We talked my host family and her host family. This picnic had an event. It was to introduce our host family the Japanese culture. I brought my calligraphy sets. I wrote Japanese. I learned it when I was an elementary school student, but I didn't practice caligraphy since I was an elementary school student. I was not a good calligraphy, but host famly were very happy. I was happy to see them.
The first day is very long for me, but I was excited to thinking of sending Minnesota life.

My favorite book

My favorite book is Bokuto-miyaiya-no-natsu. It is Japanese book. I read it when I was an elementary school student. This book is mistery. It is so interesting. I will tell you about it. The main person is Futa. He is twelve years old. He was thinking about his homework in summer vacation. He met a man. He is Nekoyanagi. The man can see the future. He told Futa, "If you pay 100 yen for me, I will tell you about your future." Futa didn't believe it. He tought it isn't the truth, but the future which the man told Futa was ture. Nekoyanagi didn't have his house. Futa's father hit a good idea. It is to live him with Futa's family. So, Nekoyanagi helped futa's homework.

This book was written by Kaoru Hayamine. I liked books written by him. They are so interesting. I went to the library in spring vacation when I was an elementary school student. (9116/12000)

The book has 10 chapters, which talk about a strange and interesting country, Around the island, The Irish church and people, The English come to Ireland, Death from hunger, Fighting to be free, Northern Ireland, Dublin, Stories,music and dancing, A country for young people.

North and west of Ireland is very beautiful, but it is difficult to farm here. People are not rich.(8949/12000)

Bowling

I played bowling yesterday. I don't often go bowling, so I'm not good at playing it. I bowled 24. This score was one game. I played two games. Next game, I bowled 48. I'm not very good at bowling.

My favorite movie

My favorite movie is Akuno-Kyoten. This movie is very scary. I have a book. The book is very scary too. Chief character is a teacher. he is Seiji Hasumi. He doesn't have a heart. If he find the person who know his secret, he kills the person.
He is so smart. He kills people, but he doesn't come out the police. The police thought the reason why people were killed was the accident or the suicide.  He dosen't think to kill people isn't good things.  He is a murder. His job is teacher. He teach English!!! He is very popular for students. He collects trust from many students. His students don't think he is s murder. They don't know he kills some people who he thinks they are obstacle.  Finally, he thinks his students are obstacle because some students knew his secret. So, he killed all his students, but three students survived.
He was arrested by the police. It was very scary!!!!(8749/12000)

We have the same part time job. I enjoyed talking with her.  I like hot spring very much. I want to go there again with friends of mine. (8586/12000)

My reserch: American marriage and Japanese marriage

I will tell about American marriage and Japanese marriage because I was surprise when I was in America. The marriage is very different America from Japan. My host family’s son got married in August after he has his son.

      I think the marriage is easier than Japan for American people. America is very high the divorce rate. I want to know how American people think about the marriage and divorce. I think the marriage is very important for my life and I think that the divorce isn’t good. I want to know how American people think about getting married again and what is the most important thing for American people when they decide to get married. I research the difference of the marriage.

1.    In America　

     American people think that the marriage is private affairs. They think a marriage　partner is belly warmer. They think that the marital life is to love each other. If they don’t love each other, they will divorce. So, they don’t think that the economic resource is important. American people want to love forever if they find a partner. I saw my host family kissed every day. They think they are a couple, so they can kiss every day when they are old.

     There are many divorces in America. American couple who have a child will divorce if they don’t love each other, so a child with only one parent living is increasing because American women are independent from an economic standpoint. If they divorce, they can live themselves. The most of the reason there are many divorces in America is romantics. When they don’t feel romantics to their partner, they decide to divorce.

     They need chemistry to send a happy marital life. To have the similar value each other is important for American people when they look for a partner. In America, more and more people are putting off marriage until later in life and people who get married again are increasing. If they aren’t the similar value with their partner, they divorce and they get married other people who are similar value. They think about the marriage and divorce easier than Japan.

2.    In Japan

Japanese people have thought that the marriage is very important, but Japanese people change thinking of marriage now. The old days, Japanese women wanted to get married because they couldn’t live alone when they are old. Jobs which women get were low. If women want to send a happy life, they must get married to have their life supported by men. So, it was very important for Japanese women to get married and they were not easy to divorce because women were not easy to live alone.

The old days, Japanese men should have got married because they must take over the family. So, they must have a child as a successor. The divorce was bad things by Japanese people. Japanese men were not easy to divorce because they minded eyes of the world.

     The median marriage age in Japan was early. Women were 24 or 25 years old.　Japanese men were 26 or 27 years old.

 After the war, Japan has come to be considered one of the economic superpowers of the world. The work of the women increased. Many Japanese women could work. So, they could live alone because they could get many jobs.  Now, Japanese women don’t think that they must get married. They think that if they want to get married, they should get married. So, the women’s median marriage age is older. Women are 27 or 28 years old.

   On the other hand, Japanese men change way of thinking for the marriage. In 1991, the Japanese economy entered a deep recession. Many Japanese men were laid off. Now, the Japanese economy is a deep recession. So, Japanese men think that maybe we can’t feed a new family. And, they think that they want to use spend money freely. If they get married, they must feed their family. Some Japanese men think that they can’t get free time and money if they get married. So, the men’s median marriage is older. Japanese men are 30 years old now.

     Now, a tendency to marry late in life advances in Japan. Japanese people who want to spend time and money for themselves increase. So, some Japanese people don’t think that the marriage is important for their life. They respect the individuality of each other. They change thinking of the divorce. They could divorce easier than the old days, but they think seriously about divorce.

But in 2011, a major earthquake was generated in Japan. It was the Tohoku earthquake. After the Tohoku earthquake, many Japanese people wanted to get married because they felt that building a bond to someone and to support each other were important. Some Japanese people change thinking about the marriage. 

Japanese thinking and American thinking of the marriage is very different. Japanese people think that the marriage is to make a family. It is important for Japanese people to think about the economy when they get married. Japanese people think seriously about divorces because they think that the economy is the most important thing. If they decide to divorce, they think whether they can live alone.

American people are very different. They think that the marriage is to love each other. They think that their partner is a belly warmer. It is important for American people to have the similar value each other when they get married, but it is a bad program. They can get married and divorce easier if they find a partner. They don’t mind eyes of the world. The marriage is private affairs.

But, there is a common point about the marriage. Japanese thinking of the marriage is similar American thinking. In Japan and America, more and more people are putting off marriage until later in life because they think that to live alone forever is good and they are important to think each other’s sense of values when they get married.

Now, Japanese thinking of the marriage is changing. It will be similar American thinking in the future.

My favorite high school memory

My favorite high school memory is to receive the gold prize. When I was a high school student, I belonged to the Brass Band club. I played the Bass clarinet. I entered  the contest for the first time. I got the gold prize with my teammate.

I was very happy. And, I could enter the Final contest. I was so happy. I could enter the final contest for the first time.

I practiced every day in my summer vacation. It was very hard, but I had a very good time. I went to Kagoshima. There was the final contest. I was a little nervous, but the performance was the best so far!! But I couldn't get the gold prize.

I got the silver prize, but I was very happy and I had a good experience. Next day, I went to the aquarium with my teammate. It was very fun because the aquarium wasn't in Kumamoto.
