Today I picked up the First Drafts and Tables that you made for the Compare-and-Contrast essay. I will try to return it to you later so you can produce a second draft.
We began Unit 6, Cause-Effect Essays, and discussed the textbook presentation up to page 124. We did Cause-Effect paragraphs earlier on endangered species and why they are endangered. This time we are writing an essay with at least 3 paragraphs. Five paragraphs would be better. Please do NOT do endangered animals again. Let's write the essay on a new topic.
We will not have class on Saturday, November 28. Please write a rough draft of your essay. See you on December 4.

Essay Contest Contestants (Class Representative Essays)
For the essay contest, I selected To Realize Small Happiness, Seeing is Believing, and Behind the Surface to represent Class A. Although there were 4 great essays and 7 which got most of the votes, I had to select 3 or fewer.
For Class B, I entered The Importation of the Invasive Species; Salmon, Pineapple, and Soy Milk Tea; and Attitude and Gratitude to represent the class.
Even if your essay was not selected as a semifinalist, it was still a good essay. I hope some of these six excellent essays will win recognition in the essay contest and be published in the Essay booklet!

Seafood supplies will be gone soon
If we do nothing to protect our marine resource, more and more seafood species will vanish in the recent future. Finding a way to maintain a functional ocean ecosystem is the key to make the resource a long-lived treasury. If we look at the whole picture, the situation may not be encouraging. Making overfishing and pollution less is a task to human.
People may show interest in what is written on today’s news paper, and can tell you how serious the problem is, however, back from the audible sign, most people care what are on their dinner table. Fish and oyster are always favorite with gourmets’s stomach.
Many consumers do not worry if the sea will breed us forever, at least now they can find what on the markets are willing to provide the best seafood. The voices from the governments to prevent overfishing seem weak. Making profit and making some people have their jobs to do are the responsibility of the government. If we look at in another angle, we might see people do not hold out much hope for their support too.
Marine scientists call for abstaining from seafood to save ocean. Some researchers say that there has already been a collapse in wild populations of almost one-third of currently fished seafoods. They also say that in south Asia, like Malaysia, the catch has fallen by fifty percent from their highest levels.
Everyday many people come to know how delicious sashimi is, and begin to try this kind of seafood. What do you think if hundreds of million people enjoy their sashimi every week? No, no such luck. We just have one globe, what can leave for our children? There appears to be no alternative. Love is selfish, and the people only love themselves will never think this a big problem.

Future English Education
English was made compulsory at elementary schools from April 2008, and people emphasized communication skills more deeply. Cooperation with junior high schools is important people think, too. But, if English education keeps present style, it may not be able to work together. Now, the most important thing is communication skills. It’s already old-fashioned that we learn vocabulary and grammars along with the textbook.
This time, I will mention about what junior high schools should do specifically in the future when they teach a lesson.
Now, I have 3 points about it. First, they should abolish the education that is tend to focusing text book. Students had to bring the textbook and notebook every class in old-style class. As preparation, they did list-up new vocabularies and grammars, and text body on the note. Then, they read out with teacher in the class. Is it really important? Surely, they might able to memorize words and grammars. But in this way, they can never get skills to communicate and attitude to try to it.
Second, we need to spend more time with ALT. When I was junior high school student, we had only twice a month to have activity with ALT. Actually, we enjoyed game and singing English songs. It was really fun! But now, I think learned not-useful English. So, for the future, I want schools to spend more and more time with ALT, and provide to students useful English, like daily English conversation expressions.
The last point, teachers should not have a sense of ‘having a class’. Usually, in the class, teachers must give a grade to each student. But I think English is a just second language and not subjects that can appraise. The most important thing is their attitude and English can develop by their efforts.
Today, activities using English are changing. Schools should review their learning program to improve it better.

Process of World Heritage
There is World Heritage of 890 all over the world. How many World
Heritage
have you seen before?
First of all, World Heritage indicates remains, the sceneries and the nature
etc.
Registered by General Conference of UNESCO based on World Heritage Convention.
689 of 890 registered in World Heritage are divided into the cultural heritage
and 176
are divided into the natural heritage and 25 mixed heritages. There is World
Heritage of
14 in Japan now. I had seen 5 World Heritages before. Those are old town
Kyoto, old
town Nara, shiretoko peninsula in Hokkaido, Horyu-ji temple and Nikko-Toshogu
shrine. I felt magical power from any heritages and relaxed. So I became that
I want to
come again for a long time.
It is not easy to admit as World Heritage. It is necessary to pass the
rigorous
examination. First of all, the person in charge in region or the government
agency
recommends it and the tentative list is submitted. Secondly, UNESCO World
Heritage
Center evaluates and investigated request it. The heritage is divided into
nature,
Investigated respectively, and reported to the World Heritage Center. And it
becomes
Formal registration if judge by World Heritage Center discussed at the
committee. At
last, it is taken as World Heritage by passing the rigorous examination like
this.
There is as a precondition. It reports on
the
maintenance situation every six years and it is necessary to receive the
reexamination
after it registers. If it is judged to no , it
will be
registration erase. It is the Dresden Elba valley that was blotted out for the
first
time in 2009 because this having been judged that the bridge that destroys the
scenery
is constructed.
There are World Heritages like express the racial discrimination and the
damage
Caused by wars . These are called the World Heritage of a negative alias. For
example
in the typical one the Atomic Bomb Memorial Dome in Hiroshima,
Auschwitz=birukenau gulag and Robben Island,etc.
There are counties where a lot of World Heritage registered too and are
38
countries without any. It is advanced to appeal to lose regional bias. Being
registered in
World Heritage has a large influence in the tourism industry in the
surrounding area.
However, the problem such as the number of tourists increases, and the trouble
with a
Peripheral resident occurs too.
I thought that it want you to defend the appearance because it had been
taken as
one of the heritages of the world though feelings of wanting you to visit the
power of
people. The heritages that exists by hundreds of years. I want to go to
the World
Heritage of Japan some time, and all to go also to an overseas heritages.

My Treasure
What is your treasure? Can you answer this question? Maybe this answer is not only one. We have found a lot of treasure in our life before. In my case, I really love my family, friends, darling, my part time job, Japan, time, school …countless things! So, my treasure is my life! I love my life. It’s not a joke. I am not joking, I really think I’m happy now, and I appreciate my mother’s love for me today.
Today, we can eat everything we want. If we are in our house, only one call or by the website, we can get some food. And in convenience stores, whenever we can get fresh foods. How useful Japan is! However, some Japanese think this circumstance is natural and it’s certain to continue forever, or they think that they are not concerned with the case. We must thank Japan for this wealthy life. Don’t think it’s natural. This happy life is my treasure.
In case of family, some people have parents, others not. My parents divorced 2 years ago because of money trouble, and my father is gone. Before it happened, I want to be rich, and I sometimes think my life was boring. I didn’t care about my family, but now I noticed that it was a huge mistake for me. I felt that common hardships knitted the family together. I think normal is the best now. Nothing special is okay. Family is also my treasure, so I want them to be healthy and happy forever.
Now, I’m in Tokyo without my family. At first, of course, I didn’t have any connection before, so I feel loneliness everyday and I want to go back to my home town. I didn’t like Tokyo. However, I could soon make so many friends here. At Bunkyo University and at my job, I could make my friends chain. They helped me change from a lonely life! I can laugh with them everyday and I think it’s really happy thing. I think I have fortune on my side. They are my treasure.
Finally, I live with my boyfriend now. I think it’s very good experience for us. He is my best, and I can spend most of my time with him! We cook, talk, wash, watch TV, read a magazine, and laugh together everyday. I really love him so I really enjoy my life. I always think like this “How happy I am!! If I die now, I won’t have any regrets!!” Maybe it’s a little bit much, but he is my treasure.
I think various things made me: society, my family, my friends, my partner, and so on. If one of these is missing, I’m unhappy. All of these are necessary for me to make me, so I must not regard this life as natural and must not forget to appreciate it, it’s very important. I love my treasure and I thank my treasure very much. If I were born again, I would like to be me again. I love my life!

Communication is Important
Now, there are almost very few people who don’t have a mobile phone. Most people think mobile phones are necessary recently, because mobile phones are very useful. For example it can send e-mails, call someone, net surfing, listen music and so on. If you have a mobile phone, you can contact someone every time, every where, when you want to.
However, I think we rely on useful tools too much. One study of people who have their own mobile phone said about 93 percent of people put their mobile phone beside them when they sleep, about 50 percent of people bring their mobile phones in to the toilet, about 45 percent of people keep their mobile phones at close quarters at meals, and also about 18 percent people bring their mobile phones to the bath!!
I think we need face to face communication! It has a lot of good points. First, we can look into each other’s faces. Then we can feel their mood, physical, or other things. Second, we can manage to express ourselves by gestures. When we communicate with foreigners, gestures are very useful. Finally, we can share same time, mood and so on. I think it is a very wonderful thing!
I think face-to-face communication is important for latest people, because it gives us happy time and we can know communicate with other people is very fun! Let’s try taking a face to face communicate.

Love or Work
Do you have a dream? I want to ask every woman in Japan. Is it to get married, give birth to a baby and be housewife or work like a horse to realize a dream without guy? Whatis happiness for women?
When we were children, women definitely dreamed of becoming brides who is dressed in a pure white wedding dress like a princess. After that, women give birth to babies, be housewives, and lead uneventful lives as family. I have been told so many times by a lot of adult women. It is the most happiness for women to lead an ordinary life as woman!! What do you think about it?
In other side, the number of career women is increasing recently in Japan. A lot of women have a dream and work without guys. Although some career women have boyfriends, that is bound to end that is said: Which do you choose, ME or WORK?! Most women are tired of this set phrase. Some married women have a lot of trouble answering the question on this famous words in a world of women, too. The background of this phenomenon is very difficult and complicated, there is a close connection with society in Japan.
To begin with, the origin of this phenomenon is the sexual equality. A lot of women who have been housewives and retired into her shell called home until now advanced the world full of men and changed to fight with men equally. That gave Japanese women great change and increased choices of women's lives. Of course, that gave in charge of pouring tea a lot of dreams. Women are absorbed in job and increased strength more and more.
Then their life plan which women imaged in the old days collapse little by little. Women had finished worthwhile work in succession and have been bright career women and being have high ideal of man as their grown older with age. And they got pay pretty well, bought Chanel bags, Cartier jewelry as a reward for working hard, enjoy a luxurious hour a little after payday. Finally, when they come home, a their dear puppy run up to them who seems to be exhausted, apply a facial pack to all over their face and go to bed. Then they crossed their mind that it's too late. When they looked at theirselves looks like a facial pack monster in the mirror. At this point in time, marriageable age which they imagined is the past. That means accelerable late marriage. And this phenomenon connect with a dwindling birthrate. Some of them there are women which think that although I want to have a child, don't need a husband. Of course, because married women could work free and independent similarly single women, some women choose second life which women say goodbye to husband and raise a child their own.
Women spread width of life and could open a new field and bright future because appeared a new choice called "work" than before. In other words, it is possible that happiness for women is not only a pure white wedding dress but also a black suit.
In Japan, there are about 65 million women and there are about 3232 million women in this world. Every women has each different color, gain various experiences. No one the same people all over the world, every people seek happiness and have diverse dreams. Can you image yourself in the future? You yourself can make your bright future, of course depends on your effort. Therefore, I want to ask you once more again. Do you have a dream?

A cup of Coffee
When do you drink coffee? Morning, Afternoon, Tea time, Night. Coffee is very popular drink all over the world today. I think some of the people drink coffee, but other people don’t. But what in the world do we know about coffee?
Last August, luckily, I had a chance to take part in a coffee seminar. Then I studied so many things about coffee and cultures. First thing I studied was the cultivation of coffee. Coffee is produced between the tropic of Cancer and the tropic of Capricorn. About 70 countries which are almost starving nations make coffee. It is hard to grow coffee trees. Coffee trees can grow over 1000 meters above sea level and the trees grow from 9 to 12 meters. Tall coffee trees need over high trees which are called shade tree to protect from the sun burn. Coffee trees are weak in high temperature and high humidity. And then, it takes 5 years to able to harvest. If you want 100 grams of roasted coffee beans, you have to pick 500 grams of raw coffee beans.
Next thing is coffee is good for our health and daily life. I think most of you drink coffee at study time, that’s because coffee keeps us awaking. Coffee effect not only sleepiness but also fatigue. The smell of coffee has long been known to have an aromatherapy effect. We can relax to smell delightful aroma of coffee. It stimulates part of the brain and produces a good feeling. New research from Oakland, California, says that coffee may protect the livers of heavy alcohol drinkers. The more coffee people reported drinking, the less likely they were either to be hospitalized or die of liver cirrhosis.
I drink coffee casually, but I found coffee is very deep and wonderful drink. If we drink coffee, we can save famine-ridden people. I thinking that being interested in a familiar and livings are important.

Child Care
Almost of the people will get married have a child. I think that that too. A marriage is easier than having a child. Because we just hand in a registration of a marriage to a government office, but having a child and child care is different I think. So I’m going to tell you about difficulty of caring of a child.
First of all, we need a large sum of money. I have heard that a childbirth’s costs are very high. We must go to a hospital to inspection etc. And children grow very quickly, so we give them clothes that fit them. Moreover I think all of parents think they want to give their children a good education. It is said that the average educational expenses is about ten million yen. But it is just a high school and a University.
Secondly, parents should teach morals and manners and so on to their children. Especially things that school doesn’t teach to them are must. When they become adults, they don’t know that and they will shame in a public. It is for that parents need tell that when children is young.
Third, parents are parents all the time and forever. Parents worry about them always. Parents protect their children from something that may have bad affects. For example, playing violent video games, or using the Internet too much. Recently, our life is very useful with mobile phone and Internet, but on the other hand, children have many chances to meet an accident.
Finally, these are difficulty of caring a child. But I think a child care is a wonderful experience. Because we can see a child is growing. They start to stand up, walk, speak, write… A child care has many difficult problems, but many happy things. So I want to have a child in the future.
