          Almost ten months have passed since we entered Nanzan University. We will have only two writing classes this semester. I like this class so much, so let me write a message to you.

          First, I could enjoy writing class thanks to you. We are getting along well with each other because all members of this class are energetic and friendly. Therefore, the atmosphere of this class is great. Moreover, we held a lot of parties such as Halloween party or Christmas party. Those parties were very fun for me because I could enjoy talking with everyone. In other words, you make this class very fun.

          Second, you help me improve my writing ability. All of you write a great essay, so I could copy your way to write. In addition, although you already have a great ability, you make an efforts to write better and better.

          In conclusion, I could enjoy this class and learn many things thanks to you. I am really happy to join this class. Thank you very much!

The thing I am proud

I belong to guide section of ESS which stands for English Speaking Society. This year I participated in ESS guide camp. I am proud of the things that I did during this camp. Therefore, I am going to write about those things.

At this camp, we went to Ninnaji temple in Kyoto. Then we asked foreign visitors to take part in our guide tour. Although some people declined our offer because of the lack of time, three Canadian men joined it. Therefore, we guided them around the temple. I was very nervous because I am not good at talk with stranger people, but three Canadian men were very kind and funny. Therefore I enjoyed talking with them and we became good friends. Since this camp, I have kept in touch with them. In short, I had a great experience, which makes me proud.  

The most urgent issue in Japan

          The most urgent issue Japan is facing is that Japan is an aging society with fewer children. I am going to write about the reasons why I believe so.

 

          First, young people must support so many people of advanced age. According to a research by the Cabinet Office of Japan, about one in four people is over sixty five years old now. Therefore, young people have to bear the heavy burden. For example, young people must pay much taxes or pensions to help the lives of old people. In other words, an aging society with fewer children makes young people have the heavy burden.

 

          Second, the number of people who will support the Japanese society in the future has been decreasing. Recently, many people don’t marry and have children, so the number of children has been decreasing. Therefore, Japan will suffer from lack of workers in the near future, which will make Japanese society decline. In short, Japan will have a great difficulty in the decrease in workers because of an aging society with fewer children.

 

          In conclusion, I believe the most urgent issue Japan is facing is an aging society with fewer children. We have to think about this problem more seriously and find a solution to the problem.

Having a boyfriend or girlfriend should make your life better?

I agree with the idea that having a boyfriend or girlfriend should make your life better. I’m going to write about the reasons why I think so.

 

First, having a boyfriend or girlfriend should enables you to make an effort for him or her. For example, one of my friends who got a boyfriend becomes more beautiful than before because she wants to be said that she is beautiful by her boyfriend. In addition, another friend of mine studied very hard to enter the same university as his boyfriend. In other words, having a boyfriend or girlfriend helps you become a better person for your boyfriend or girlfriend.

 

Second, having a boyfriend or girlfriend enables you to experience a lot of things which people who don’t have a boyfriend or girlfriend cannot experience. For example, my brother who has a girlfriend plan to go to the Tokyo Disney Land on Christmas Day. However, I will work part-time on that day. Therefore, my brother will have a greater time than me. In short, by having a boyfriend or girlfriend, you can enjoy your life more than people who don’t have a boyfriend or girlfriend.

 

             In conclusion, I agree with the idea that having a boyfriend or girlfriend should make your life better. Having a boyfriend or girlfriend helps you make efforts and experience enjoyable things. Therefore, I recommend getting a boyfriend or girlfriend.

My idea about starting learning a foreign language very early (TOEFL)

          I agree with the idea that children should start learning a foreign language very early. I am going to write about the reasons why I agree with.

          First, people can acquire a foreign language faster by starting learning it very early. Children tend to have a greater ability to learn than adults do, which makes it important to start learning early. For example, I have a ten-year old cousin who speaks English fluently. He started learning English when he was five years old. In other words, the earlier people start learning a foreign language, the faster they acquire it.

          Second, people can have more opportunities to talk with people from another country by starting learning a foreign language very early. For example, when I was in elementary school, I was spoken by foreign people. However, I did not talk with them at all because I had not learned English. If I had learned English earlier, I could have enjoyed talking with them. In short, learning a foreign language very early enables us to have more chances to talk with foreign people.

          In conclusion, I agree with the idea that children should start learning a foreign language very early. By doing so, people have chances to acquire the language and talk with foreign people. Although mother tongue is very important for children, they should start learning a foreign language very early.

the skills to succeed in the modern world

          There are many skills that a person should have in order to succeed in the modern world. In this essay, I am going to write about those skills.

 

          First, the most important skill to succeed in the modern world is communication skill. Nobody lives alone, so people have to communicate with each other. Therefore, communication skill is necessary. In addition, people with a communication skill get a lot of chances. For example, they tend to be promoted more often than people without a communication skill because they can get along with other people thanks to their communication skill. In other words, having a communication skill makes people succeed in the modern world.

 

         Second, a person should speak various languages in order to succeed in the modern world. Now, the world is in the age of globalization, so people have a lot of chances to talk with people from another country. Therefore, it is important to speak various languages. In addition, this skill is connected with the skill I said above. If people don’t speak a lot of languages, it is difficult to communicate with various people even if they have a great communication skill. In short, the language skill is one of important skills that a person should have to succeed in the modern world.

 

          In conclusion, the skills that a person should have to succeed in the modern world are communication skill and language skill.

Impacts of technology in family

          I disagree with the idea that technology helps us have a better communication in family. In this essay, I am going to write about the reasons why I disagree the idea.

 

          First, technology reduces our chance to have a face to face communication in family. People depend on technology to communicate with their family. For example, many people communicate with their family through technology such as cell phones although they are in the same house. Therefore, the number of people who are not good at taking with their family has been increasing. In other words, technology decrease an opportunity to have a face to face communication in their family.

 

          Second, people spend much time to use technology. Recently, many people have their own cell phone or computer, so they use them to exchange email with their friends or play games in their house. Therefore, they tend to have a less chance of talking with their family. In short, people use technology too much to talk with their family.  

 

          In conclusion, I disagree with the idea that technology helps us have a better communication in family. Although technology makes our lives more convenience, we have to reconsider how to use technology.
