#10 Now What?

     Hello! I will go back to Japan on December 16. I enjoy this semester, so I want to stay more because I like Calgary, but I have to return to Japan. When the semester finishes, I am going to study hard law. I am interested in international law and I study English here. So I want to study law, especially international law! It will be difficult to understand because I haven't studied law for four months. Also I want to read book in English. I read “Charlie and chocolate factory”. It was interesting! So I want to try to read a book in English. If you have recommended book, please teach me : )

#9 Eco- tourism

     Today I introduce article about eco-tourism. This is the link http://travel.nytimes.com/2010/02/07/travel/07journeys.html? Please go the link before reading my blog.   Guyana has started to supply a business with money so that can operate on its beautiful scenery and wildlife. So many aturalists and eco-tourists visiterd here. However, they lead bad result.  Guyanese people don't hope to come tourist.
     Recently, the nature environment is being destroyed by tourism. They throw away garbage in the natural place. I can't understand the reason why they throw away garbage. If they want to see the nature, they should keep to clean to protect nature, plants and animals.

#8 Tourism

Hello. I am going to write about tourism.

I think there are much tourism in Japan because I often see a group of tourists. Japan has a lot of a tourist resort. For example, Mt Fuji and Kiyomizu-temple. When I went to Todaiji that is most famous temple in Nara, there were many tourists who are another country people and students visited on a school. In addition, when I visited the Great Wall of China, there were a lot of Chinese group. So I think almost country have a lot of tourism. Also it contributes to the industries of a country because many people visit the country.

#7 Lady Pens

Hello. I will write about Lady Pens but it was difficult for me.  I watched the video a few times. There were many women and they laughed, but I couldn't understand why they laughed.  Also, I wonder why Lady Pens were made. I think there is no need to be distinguished a pen for woman from a pen for man.  Almost women may like pink or purple but some people don’t like pink or purple, on the other hand, some men like pink. In my case, I will not buy because I don’t like pink.  So I thought Lady Pans don’t need. What do you think? Do you want to buy the pen?

Gender Roles.

Do gender roles exist in your country?

I think there are gender roles in Japan.  For example, Japanese sometimes say a man have to work and a woman have to cook. 

Do you see yourself as a typical man or woman?

No, I don’t see myself as a typical woman because I didn’t play with a doll when I was child.

Should boys and girls be brought up differently?

I don’t think so because my parents didn’t do for me and my brother.  So we can do whatever we like. My brother like cooking but it is thought that cooking is responsibilities of a woman.

Someone is talking about their doctor. Do you think their doctor is male or female?

I thought the doctor is male because almost doctor are male in Japan.

Are men and women equal in their physical ability?

I think man have more good physical ability than woman.

The Best Halloween In My Life

Hello. Today I will write about Halloween.

The best Halloween I have ever spent. I have never celebrated Halloween because Japan usually doesn’t celebrate it.  This year I went to the Halloween party.  I wore a ghost costume, ate delicious foods and took a lot of pictures.  I was surprised because everyone wore a costume.  Also I visited many houses with my friends calling "trick or treat".  At first I didn’t know how to do, but my Canadian friends taught me how to do.  So I could get a lot of chocolates and candies!!  I had fun Halloween in Canada. I wonder why it is not popular in Japan?  I want to be more popular in Japan.  

To achieve in the Fall semester

 Hello, my classmates.

I want to descrabe achieving in the Fall semester. I achieved a long presentation last week in my grammar class.  This was my goal last week.  I made presentation 30 minutes with my partner.   We focus on a reflexive pronoun and phrase verb.  I don’t like a reflexive pronoun because it is too difficult for me.  So I was nervous and I wanted to escape the presentation, but my friend said the power point is perfect so you can do it.  To tell the truth, I made some mistake when presentation, but I achieved the long presentation.  I think it gave me not obsession but beneficial experience.  That is why I can understand a reflexive pronoun and I achieved my goal!
