#14 Politics and Reflections

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.

#13 Personal Spaces

1. I stand 1 meter far away from him because if I stand too near from him, he might think I love him.

2. Depending on how close we are. But I don't touch with my friend often because if he is a boy, we might be misunderstood as a couple.

3. I don' sit next to others because I don't want others to interrupt my personal space.

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.

6. I sit the empty seat close by because it is danger to move on the bus while moving.

7. Yes, because I want someone to disturb my reading.

8. I like to see very few people because if it is not so crowded, we can swim freely.

9. Yes, recently, I look them in the eye bacause if I look away from my friend, it might be rude. I don't know the timing when I can look away.

10. No, because if I talk to other people suddenly, they will be surprised. Also, talking loudly in the train may be rude.

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.
