Hi, I’m Takahiro. Long time no see.

Today I’ll write about advantage of studying abroad in the way of easy essay.

So, let’s go!!

  Recently, going to study abroad is easier than it’s ever been. And more and more people choose studying abroad as way to study English. It may be because of many changing situation like developed transportation between many countries or increasing demand of English skill or expanding thinking that people try to think entire world of(as?) more closing thing etc. Probably, it’s good thing for studying English.

However, at the same time, way to study English in own country is also developed as you know. For example, you can search that what more effective way to study English is on developed internet environment. Or you can choose educational material from more many kinds of them than a decade ago.

Well, what is the advantage of overseas education?? Concretely speaking, there are three main advantages. One is that if you hope and try, you can get complete English environment. One is that you can not only get complete English environment but also get opportunity to contact with other culture. And last one is that you can get many opportunities to challenge new or difficult thing.

  If you hope and try, you can get a complete English environment. It means that you can only touch with English all the time. If you can only use and think English, your English skill will be exactly improved. In your country, is it possible?? Probably it isn’t. If you are in your country, your native language will be used in most of your life. And only using English definitely help your study.

Besides, even after you come back your country, its experience will help your study because your viewpoints to English are changed by overseas education and overseas environment. Comparing English to baseball, studying English in own country would be practice swing or pepper or even practice game. And spending abroad with using English would be live game. Of course, it is absolutely necessary to practice (practice swing or pepper or live game) constantly. However we can improve our baseball skill in more effective way by reflecting and revising the result of game. On the other hand, we can find clues to improve our English in more effective way by experiencing actual English life. We could feel English as closer thing and could recognize reason of studying English more strongly.

  Secondly, we can not only get good opportunities to study English but also get opportunities to contact with many kinds of cultures. Basically there are only few opportunities to contact foreigner and contact other culture in our own country. However there are many cultures in ELS or overseas university especially in country which many kinds of people immigrate into. Contacting other culture would be special experience for you. So, concretely, what is the advantage of contacting other country like? Perhaps, it is that we will be able to recognize how other culture existing. And we will be able to recognize that actually there are difference between our culture and their culture. On the other hand, it’s that we can remove our practically one-side original sense of value. I think this is very important thing to become person who is grace and can accept many kinds of values and is honorable. Actually all people have one-side sense of value more than a little.

  At the end, we can get more opportunity to challenge new or difficult thing. Of course, even in Japan, there are a lot of opportunities to challenges. But if you were in abroad, even talking with store staff or using public transportation or taking about romance with friends are one of challenges. Actually it depends on parson that if one can recognize the chance. But there are a lot of chances to challenge something. And perhaps, you may have gotten better at finding some chance to challenge something after your overseas education.

   On the whole, Needless to say, these are advantage to study English. However if you go to study abroad, it will also be your unforgettable memory. And these experience might be your advantage of life.



terrible English.....





原文 間違ってるとこ教えてもらえたら嬉しいです。
Hello guys. I’m Takahitro

2days ago, in my class, I had a feeling which I want to think deeply and tell you.
And I want you to consider this too.

In the class, we were debating about some topics which include daily things and imaginary things and things involving love etc.
And we must have give some point which express how much I agree with each topic sentence. For ex, ’’having fun and being happy is more important than having a career’’ or ‘’it is better to take any job than to be unemployed.’’ Point range is 1 to 10.

‘’War is always wrong –even if it is the only way to protect your country’s national rights and honor.’’ This is the topic sentence I want you to consider how much you agree with it.

How many points can you give it??


In my opinion, I completely agree with this sentence. In other words, I can give 10 points to this topic.
There might be situations that you have to join war necessarily.
Without warning, some country might invade your country.
And you might have to (grammar??) kill someone who is opposite, because if you don’t fight, your neighbor and you would be killed without resistance.
So in this case, you should fight with opposite and join war to protect your precious parsons. I think.


However, can you recognize it is not wrong thing??
I can’t. I don’t want to recognize so.
I feel if we recognize it’s not wrong, we stop to seeking some other more peaceful way.
And if the people who live in invaded country completely blame the other one and doesn’t recognize any wrong to themselves or feel it can’t be helped, people who live in the country invaded will have only hate feeling.
And it will not make good future.
Thus, I think we should recognize war is always wrong- even if it is the only way to protect your country’s national rights and honor.

I don’t know what I wanna say…


Of course, I don’t mean my opinion is correct.
I think the answer depends on how to recognize question and any background respondent have.
Actually, people who give 1or2 point were majority in my class.
So I feel some strange feeling.

It is difficult question.

この質問をきちんと読んで、意味を理解して答えるのならば
単に戦争が悪いことか、そうでないか、
という答えではなく
もしどこかの国に攻め入られて、戦争をせざるおえなくなり
その後その行為を
せざるおえなかったのだから「悪いことではない」
と考えるか
せざるおえなかったにしても、「悪いことである」
と考えるか、どう認識するのか。
こんにちは。また真面目日記です。



アバウトな日本語訳と少しだけつけたし。

「戦争は常に悪いことである   ―たとえそれがあなたの国の権利と誇りを守るための唯一の方法だとしても」


この考えにどれくらい同意できますか?1~10で表すとしたら(10に近いほど同意できる)
どれくらいですか??
もしよければ教えるだけ教えてください。良ければ理由も、、、

ここから下は地味に長いです。
こないだよりはまとまってるけど…笑







というのも、学校でこれについて討論する授業があって、色々考えることがあったので、他の人の考えも聞いてみたくなった限りです。

自分の場合は10で完全に同意です。





戦争に絶対に参加しなければいけない状況があるかもしれない。
例えば、突然他の国が自分の国に攻め込んできたとき。


そしたらあなたは敵の誰かを殺さなければいけないかもしれない。
なぜならもしあなたが戦わなければ、あなたやあなたの同胞は無抵抗に殺されるかもしれないから。
だから、この場合はあなたは大事な人や自分を守るために戦う必要があるしそうするべきだと思う。


けどそれを「間違ってないこと」だって認識できますか?
僕はできないだろうし、したくない。

それ(国の権利と誇りを守るため参加せざるを得なかった戦争)を間違ったことでない、と認識してしてしまうことは、もっと平和的な別の解決方法を探すことを放棄する第一歩になりうると思います。

また、攻め込まれた国の人々が、相手の国を非難し、自分たちは正しい、とか間違ってない、とかしょうがなかったと考えたならば、ただただ憎しみの気持ちだけを相手の国に向かって持ち続ける事になると思います。

そしてそれが明るい未来を作るのは難しいとも思います。

したがって、僕はたとえそれが国の権利と誇りを守るための唯一の方法だとしても、常に戦争は間違っている事である、という認識をする必要があると思います。

もちろん、自分の意見が正しいと言う気はないし、質問に答える人のバックグラウンドや質問の受け取り方にもよると思うけど。


実際、学校のクラスでは、1とか2とか3って答えた人が多数派だったのでみんなどう思ってるのかなってとても気になった次第です。


けどもし自分の国が戦争をしかけられた当事者だったら…って考えると、自分たちがやってることは間違ってるって考えるのは難しいんかな…

そう考えると、今戦争してる国ってどこも、自分たちが侵略されてる側の被害者だと思ってて、自分たちがしてる事を間違っているとは思ってないような気もする。       そう考えるとなんだか切ないね、、、


Hi I catch a sick, despite 4days holiday from tomorrow.

I hope I’ll feel better tomorrow.



By the way, to be honest, I didn’t mean to write diary today.

But I found an article which makes me feel delightful.

So I’ll tell you about them.



The article shows that collected donation, contain government and private sector, from Taiwan to Japan have already exceeded over 144hudread million yen (14,400,000,000円=about CANADA$166,000,000=5,000,000,000taiwan$)


How much!! It’s unbelievable amount of money.

And recently Taiwan gives part of them (about 60hundred million yen) to Japanese Red Cross Workers Union.


In case of USA, they gave Japan 82hundred million dollars.

It’s the most much amount donation of all country.


However, USA have 10times amount of population than taiwan.


Do you get the picture??

Considering this figure, the amount of Taiwan’s donation for Japan is amazing!!

And amount of per-capita donation is the biggest of all countries.


Of course, I don’t mean the country which donates more much is more better.(i'm not sure this exprression)


But I feel just delightful. And a member of congress王金平 said ‘’Japan, cheer you!!’’ 「日本、頑張れ!!」「日本、加油!!」


I didn’t know that Taiwanese and Japan had had such a good relationship!!.(i'm not sure this exprression)


I think Japan have to return the favor for many countries, because really many countries and people helped Japan.


For them, firstly, Japan have to be restored and get energy!!

I feel I have to do that I can do for Japan and other countries.


See you. Maybe especially this diary, I have many mistake…sorry.

Hey guys, I'm Yasu. I'm sorry too I didn't write it for several days... I will not excuse.

I don't know I did mention it already, but I finished my course last week and I go to next level from this week.
Today was the first day. My new class seems to be alright, I mean not bad. They were so quiet today. I don't know why.

My new classmates are: Two Japanese, five Chinese, Syrian, Thai, Vietnamese, Columbian, Indnesian and German, 13 students includes me.

I was surprised to meet German girl because our school has a few European students and I've never seen them.
And I spoke to her in German. I have studied German for 3 years and I can speak German a little. The other guys who I talked with today were so kind and I'm glad to meet them. I wish we could be good friends.

In addition, our textbook changed its contents. We have to do many things such as response journal and tutorial discussion, like in university! I'm so excited because it will be busier and more challenging than ever!!!

Sorry it's quite short, so I'll try to write longer one another day! Have a good day mates!!

Cheers,


Yasu

Hey everyone. I’m sorry for skipping a lot of days.

I apologize to Yasu.

Yesterday and day before yesterday, I went to drinking.

Day before yesterday, Friday, we went to Korean restaurant which had good Korean atmosphere.

And we ate ‘’SAMU-GYOPU-SARU(삼겹살)’’ It is meat dish. Like ‘’YAKINIKU’’

When we eat ‘’SAMUGYOPUSARU’’ we roast pork belly until it become a little crispy.

And we eat it with many kind of food like sesame oil or garlic or green onion or green chili etc… that was more delicious than I thought. Awesome good!!

I wanna say thanks to uncle Kim who invited me and took us there.

And we drunk some ‘’SOUZYU’’ which is Korean traditional alcohol like a Japanese ‘’NIHONSYU’’ which have about 20% alcohol.

And I drank too much…I almost died. I shouldn’t have drink so much.

I wanna go there again near future!! Good!!

Yesterday, I went to sports bur. And I reunited friend who graduated last week.

We saw hockey game with them there. I’ve never seen hokey game. But it’s so exciting and amazingly fast moving sport. I can’t find where the pock is!! I like.

And they teach me terrible words in German and French.

They can already can use 2 language. And speak English very well. Plus they have very cool face!!! I envy them….

And then, we went to night club. And danced!!

Anyway, we could have a good time.

Screaming in English!!

Recently, I feel worry. Because everyday I go out and play with my friends.

I know it is very important thing for me to go out and use English and feel other culture.

But I think I don’t have minimum English skill yet. e.g. Vocabulary and listening.

Finding point of compromise is very difficult…

I will do make vocabulary by using all times I can.

Thanks.



Hey guys, I'm Yasu. Today I wanna fix and rewrite Takahiro's last diary, because I have too many things to write thus I can't choose any of them and I promised him to fix his mistakes but I couldn't do that so much.

Then, here we go!


Three days ago, I met a super nice guy!
Today, I wanna write about him.



 

On that day, I went to downtown at 3pm with my friend who graduated from our school that day. I wrote last diary about him!! And we went to shopping to buy his T-shirt.  He required my advice about it. Why does he need my advice in spite of his good sense of fashion?? I wondered about it . Finally he bought a polo-shirt. He looked very nice in it, because he is soooooo cool!! I thought cool guy looks fantastic in everything in every country. And then we promised to meet in a sports bur at 9pm and broke up once after we ate dinner at Japanese restaurant.



 

After that, I went to Starbucks to spend a time to wait for him until 9pm.I met that guy there!!!! I tried to order the biggest size caramel frappetino. But at that time I had only $100
bill and it was not available because they didn't accept big bills.
I didn't know what I should do. I was confused, because I couldn’t understand those guys' English and didn’t know we can't use $100 bill.


 


But then, a guy behind me bought something and paid mine together!!

He treated me!! Amazing!! Incredible!! What generous man!!! Awesome!! How cool!!


 


So I tried to thank him. But before I talk, he said like ‘’Anyway(by the way??)are you Japanese?? Im Sorry for your country’’  and he left.


 

I don’t know why he knew I was Japanese. Anyway he is actually cool guy.

I felt kindness of Canadian. And I thought I wanna be like him.


 

It was my incredible experience!!! 


 


Before finishing today's diary, I wanna say one more thing.


 ‘’I’m not gay or something!!!’’







That's it, I think he has to study verb's tense, such as leave-left-left, and also comparative and superlative.


To illustrate, if you compare two things like A and B, and A is big and B is small, you can say

"A is bigger than B."

It is comparative. You need "more" before adjective, only when that adjective is long. For example, attractive, efficient and important, like

"A is more important than B."


And if you compare more than three things like A, B and C, and A is big, B is normal and C is small, you can say

"A is the biggest of three things." or "C is the smallest of three things."

They are superlatives. You have to put "the" before adjective. And also when you use long adjectives like I mentioned above, you need "most" before adjective, such as

"A is the most important thing of three."



Anyway, I hope my fucking advice will help his study...



Cheers,





Yasu

Today, I think I wanna write about him.

On that day, I hit a downtown at 3pm with my friend who graduated our school that day. I wrote last diary about him!! And we went to shopping to buy his T-shirt.

And this is a story when I went to starbucks to spend a time to wait him until 9pm.

There I tried to order the most big size caramel frappetino. But at that time I had only 100$ bill, and it was not available because of too much amount of bill.

I couldn’t know what I should do. I was at a loss. Because I couldn’t understand English of store staff and didn’t know we cant use 100$ bill.

But the guy behind me bought something and paid with mine together!!

He treated me!! Amazing!! Incredible!! What generous parson!!! awesome!! How cool!!

I saved him. So I tried to thank him. But before I talk, he said like ‘’anyway(by the way??)are you Japanese?? Im Sorry for your country’’ and he leaved.

I don’t know why he knew I was Japanese. But he is actually cool guy.

I felt kindness of Canadian. And I thought I wanna be like him.

It was incredible story I experienced.

Finally, I wanna do say one thing. ‘’I’m not gay for anything’’


Hey guys, I'm Yasu. Sorry for skipping to write diary yesterday Please excuse me, I was so tired...

I will talk about our activity yesterday.
I am a representative of the group named "Melbourne for Japan". We have been doing something for Japan. For example, 4 or 5 universities did some donation and fundraiser and we got more than $20,000 donation.
Yesterday we did fundraiser in Melbourne Central Business District(CBD or City). I went there about 9.30am and left there around 4pm. We did that for 6 hours and could get around $20,000 for only yesterday!
But we can't do that again, because Melbourne has strict law for on-street activities, such as busking and fundraiser. We had permission by yesterday. If we apply again, it will take about a month so it is waste of time. During this time period, we can do something else.
We will do other things for Japan as well. If you are in Japan, please take it easy and don't feel alone. We Japanese are all together!


By the way, I had two exams today, reading and listening. I think reading was pretty easy but I missed some parts of listening. But I'm sure I will pass. Tomorrow will be speaking exam and I am little anxious it...

I will do something, so stop writing this here.


Have a nice day, guys!


Yasu

Hey Takahiro. How are you??

Good. Thank you

Good Good Good

I and my teacher talk same conversation every day morning like this. For 1 week!!

So tomorrow I’ll try to say something different. And I’ll observe him.

By the way, I’m sorry for late writing

Yesterday I hit the town. And drank with my friend who is my first friend in my school and are going to visit San Francisco for 3weeks. Maybe after 3 hour from now, he will leave.

Thus I couldn’t write diary.

He is very nice guy. He is from Swiss, and can play hockey well!! So cool face too!!

Therefore I think many classmate girls liked him, because after his last lesson, all girls said take a photo with me!!」「please!! please!!oops

I envied him. But I like him. He is kind and friendly for his face.

And I gave a Japanese T-shirt which is written ‘’’’

I promised to meet with him after 3weeks. His name is Fabio.

And I wanna write another thing about thing I moving yesterday in starbacks.

But, today I have not time to write and think about it, because it takes too much time for me to write English. So next time. I’ll write.

It’s kind Canadian story. I want you to do read.

So

See you next time!!(*^^)v

Hey guys, I'm Yasu. Today I'm so tired and this article would be quite short. Please forgive me man...

Today I had writing exam. I did well I think. After that, we prepared for next exams. But at that time, one of my classmate, who will be my partner in speaking exam, was sooooooo troublesome. Actually I wanted to **** her, but I didn't, as a gentleman. I was really tired of her.... I don't wanna take exam with her. No way.

Oh, I mentioned bad things... sorry. I will say something good...but I don't have anything...
I am really tired... sorry Takahiro. I will stop writing today.

I will write again tomorrow morning, so please look forward it!

Cheers,


Yasu
