Education

I don't agree with the writer.
I have 4 reasons.

1. I don't think "the education system doesn’t spend enough time teaching Japanese.”
I had "朝読書"(reading a book before the class starts) in my elementary school, junior high school and high school. So, we could read books even if it was just 5~10minutes. I think it was a good system!!!

2. I agree with Motoyuki Shibata.
I think we have good opportunity more than before thanks to new technology such as E-mail, blog etc... Even if it's on computers or cellular phone, we can put our opinion down in writing. Also, I think a list of characters to choose from pops up on the screen help us to study Japanese. We can study Japanese during the checking the differences process.

3. We can read novels everywhere thanks to new keitai shosetsu. The fact remains that keitai shosetsu is novels!!!

4. I think the education system teaching English in Japan is not so good. Because, Japanese who are high-school-educated can study English at least 6 years. However, most of them are not so good at English. So, I think the teaching English system needs to be reconsidered.

Men and Women

Do you agree or disagree with the author (who is Japanese).
I agree with the author.
Because, women are really interested in romance more than men.
Women really like romantic situations, love prediction and so on.
So, I think women is obviously more passionate than men.
Men may not be able to go along with them...haha
Therefor, I wonder if women's passion become a burden for men.

But!! I think it is far better to get passionate than deal with just for fun.

Moreover, men's thinking may be influenced by today's depression.
The phrase "I have to buy them gifts and that would cost money" actually show the cut of salary. But, women are very happy even if the present is not expensive.
So, when men have positive way of thinking, we may be able to escape glacial times!!
