#015 In Order to Wake up early

Hi, 

Today, I am going to write about ways to get up early. 

     As you know, to wake up early is very important for us because the behavior helps us to improve our own lives. There are three advantages.

     First advantage is that you are never late for classes even if you take 1st period. If you wake up at five, of course you have enough time to prepare for classes, and you can have breakfast slowly. Second advantage is that you have time to concentrate on reading books. That is because morning is definitely very silent. I am sure you cannot concentrate on reading books at night because of any kinds noise such as TV or something like that. At night, you are usually tired, so you definitely want to go to bed anyway. I think morning is the best time to read books and study something. Third advantage is that you can enjoy surfing the Internet. I think surfing the Internet at night is less enjoyable than in morning. The reason is that it is sometimes difficult for us to get a connection because of heavy traffic on the Internet. For these three reasons, Waking up early will give us happy lives!

#014 Preparation for Discussion

Hi.

On this entry, I am going to write about my club activity. Actually, I am a member of the ESS, and I am going to participate in the discussion contest on December. In the contest, we are going to discuss educational issue in Japan. Needless to say, it is very hard for me to discuss even in Japanese, but we will discuss this topic in English, and the discussion will take about six hours. An older member of my club said to me,” educational issue is one of the most challenging topics to discuss, so I would research the topic very hard if I were you.” Actually, I have more knowledge of educational issues in Japan than the other students because I have took the teacher training course, but it is hard for the students who take a teacher training course. In fact, discussants have to make very clear solvency which we let Japanese government carry out. For example, if I choice declining academic abilities as an educational issue in Japan, I have to research it, and I have to make a really specific plan. I mean the problem has to be planned if Japanese government practices my plan.

The discussion contest gives us very hard works. We need not only our good English speaking skills, but also our critical and logical thinking skills.

That's all for today. Thank you very much.
