If I were working for the UN, I would work at the UNESCO.
I'm interested in the education because I'm going to be a tutor at the cram school next spring and also I have a little experience working at the cram school, so I can understand how to communicate with children.
So, my communication skill could be used for the UNESCO.
So, the UNESCO is the suitable part for me.
If I could work for the UNESCO, I would like to go to many poor countries and talk to children there.
Talking children can reduce their stress, I believe.
That's why I would like to work for the UNESCO because my experience as a tutor would be helpful.

4. I look the upper because I don't want to maintain eye contact.
5. I stand about 70 cm far away from the person my front. I think I may stand closer than others because I don't want to get in the way of others. If I stand far away from the person my front, the line will be longer, so I think I have to stand closer.

Working with different cultures and special guests
I think Sweden is the best country I work.
I want to work so hard as men.
I don't want men to segregate me, so I want to work a country which has the same working environment as men.
The rate of women's working in Sweden is very high.
Women's working rate is 70.7% and men's is 75.5%.
So, I think I can work easily in Sweden.

#12 Dating Practices
I don't care my partner's appearance very much.
I think his personality is the most important, for example, gentle, kind and soft or so on.
His job is also important because if I get married to hime, we need certain amount of money.
His background is a little bit important because he had had a crime in the past, I wouldn't date him.
I think his family is also important because in Japan, if we get married to the oldest sun, we should live with his family.
I don't want to live together.
His parents' personality is also important.
Hobbies are a little bit important because if we have the same hobbies, we can spend time together.
#10 Family Life
page 14 section4 a-f
a) Children usually leave home after they go to university or begin working.
So, they leave home when they are 18-22.
My younger brother left home when he was 18 to go to university because his university is far away from Hiroshima.
b) There are three in my hone, now because my brother lives by himself, so my parents and me.
c) I think a head is my father, but he doesn't have much power.
d) My mother does the housework, but sometimes I help her with washing a bath or cleaning clothes.
But she always cooks dinner.
e) My father and my mother run the family, but mainly my father because my mother is not a formal worker, so my father runs the family.
f) I have three rooms to sleep in.
When my brother was in home, these rooms were used by my parents, my brother and me.
But now, my brother left home, so these are use by my father, mother and me.

Greetings
1. How do you greet members of your family? (mother, father, older brother, younger brother, grandparents, etc.)
When I meet my parents first in the morning, I say "Ohayo-!" to them.
Also, they usually go to bed earlier than I, so they say to me, "oyasumi," and they go to their bedroom.
So, I don't say them "oyasumi" from myself.
2. How do you greet people that are important in society?
I greet them by bowing.
If they are politicians, I wave my hand to them because it is a mark to cheer them.
3. Do you greet people from the opposite sex in a different way?
I greet men by using a little violent verbal because I don't want them to be treated as women.
I want them to treat the same position to them.
4. Do you hug anyone? If yes, who and when. If no, why not?
I don't hug anyone because I'm shy to give hugs.
Hugging is a way to love deeply in Japan, so I can't do that here.

Greetings
I bow my greetings with my bosses or my teachers because lowering our heads is considered to be polite.
But I seldom bow my greetings with my friends because my friends and I are the same position, so I need not to bow with them.
I don't touch people because touching people a lot is considered to express my love, so if I touch my frinds, they can think that I have good feelings to them.

Our Daily Life Affected by Buddhism
1. Visiting Graves
We are doing this, because we cherish our ancestor.
2. Placing a Flower and Food on Buddhist Altars
We are doing this, because we believe that our ancestor will be glad to be placed a flower, food or so on.
3. Eating "shojinryori"
We eat "shojinryori" when we have a funeral ceremony or a Buddhist memorial service.
We are doing this, because at these events, we mustn't eat meat or fish, so we eat only vesitable food.
4. Not Sending New Year's Card If Someone in Our Family Die
We are doing this, because if someone in our family die, we are not happy, so we can't say "Happy New Year."
5. Going to the Shrine to Listen to Buddihst Monk's Speech
Some people go to the shrine at regular intervals in order to listen to Buddhist monk's speech.
We are doing this, because we want to know the world of Buddhism.
We are doing this, because we cherish our ancestor.

Impeachment of a Minor as an Adult
One member of pirate was charged.
He is a monor, but a judge said to treat him as an adult.
His father said that he was 15, but prosecution think he is over 18.
If he was imposed the biggest guilt, he would be imposed life sentence.
We can see the difference of regarding as an adult from this article.
