Exercise 1
Let's try the 20 answers introduced in this chapter. Does your answer match the "Japanese characteristics"? (1)
- I'm Toru.
- I like Mr. Marasy's piano.
- I like reading manga.
- I am a member of society.
- I'm not good at talking to people.
- I want to be a minimalist.
- I want to be able to play the piano happily.
- I like to reply to Mr. Marasy.
- I am a Hokkaido citizen.
- I am a broadcasting college student.
- I am aiming to be a certified public psychologist.
- I am interested in suicide prevention activities.
- I'm not good at writing sentences.
- I like reading books.
- I like to take a walk.
- I am single.
- I'm not good at playing the piano.
- I'm easy to get depressed.
- I hate drinking parties.
- I'm a woman.
My answer does not match the "Japanese characteristics". There are not many references to social positioning. It does not specify the context. There are not many negative statements about oneself.
Exerise 2
Let's look back on our cross-cultural experiences and write down the points that we felt in common across cultures and the points that made us feel different and uncomfortable depending on the culture. (2)
In 1999 I experienced Canadian culture for a week. The point that I felt in common across cultures was a mother's love. The point that made me feel different and uncomfortable depending on the culture was Ladies First.

Native Face-Aoku Kakero! I was expecting it, but I was excited to return to the origin from there. Even in the 14th year, even if there are various things such as Iberan, work, motivation, I think Mr. Marasy will always go home and play the piano. Thank you very much. #まらしぃ13周年
