Discussion 2 October 15th

Last Thursday, we had second time discussion. The discussion team was my group.
Our discussion topic was about "No my own car day".

First, I explained the topic and a Korean example. The example that the Korean government held on "No my own car day" and got some effects. So, we proposed an idea that we try to have the campaign day all over the country once a week in Japan. This plan is that we can use all public transportation without charge on the campaign day. Our group discussed this idea and found our consensus.

First problem was about the point which is all over the country. Ms. Hirota said it is difficult for people so the government should start from all cities. Then, the government should extend to cuontries bit by bit. The reason why she proposed that she always goes to school by car because she lives in a country. So, we agreed to her idea.

Second problem was about the point which is a whole day and once a week. Mr. Shiraki said that all day and once a week is not good for people so the government should do it twice a month. His idea was good so we agreed with him.

Last problem was about the point which is twice a month. Ms. Yamada said that if we have the campaign day twice a month, it is not good for her businees. The reason why she thought, she is a public transportation worker. Therefore, Ms. Satou who is a city office worker said she could help them by gasoline tax. In additionally, Ms. Hirota gave a idea that people must pay only 100 yen for them. From these ideas, Ms. Yamada felt easy about the point of no charge.
However, Mr. Shiraki didn't satisfied because the idea doesn't think about businessmen like him. Therefore, we discuss and found an idea that if businessmen like Mr. Shiraki apply to the city office, they could use thier cars in spite of the campaign day.

Our discussion finished at this point so we asked audiences and requested some opinions. Then a few audiences gave us very good question. Unfortunately, the question was very difficult problem so our group couldn't solve it. Therefore, I thought that we should discuss too deep.

Discussion was so difficult because it was first time for me. However, I knew that we need to discuss about the topic in various aspects.

Frog and Toad are friends 2

~Summary~
One day, Frog was not feeling well so Toad said to him that Frog should get into bed and rest. Therefore, Frog followed Toad and went to a bed but he asked Toad to tell him a story while he is resting. Of course, Toad said "OK" but he couldn't come up with a story to Frog. So, he went out on the front porch and walked up and down but he couldn't come up with any stories.
Then he went into the house and stood on his head because he thought that if he stand on his head, it would help him to think of a story. However, he couldn't come up with any stories.
Then Toad poured a glass of water over his head because he thought that if he pour water, it would help him to think of a story.
Then Toad began to bang his head against the wall because he thought that if he beng his head against the wall hard enough, it would help him to think of a story. However, he couldn't come up with any stories.

Finally, Frog was feeling much better without a story but instead of him, Toad was not fooling well. Therfore, he borrowed Frog's bed and had a rest.

~My impression~
Toad is a king man because he endeavored to have a story for Frog. In the end of story, he couldn't come up with any stories but Frog must be satisfied with Toad's behavior.
I think they are veyr good friend each other.

A movie!


Last Wednesday, I went to the cinema with my two friends. The reason why we went to there on the day, on every Wednesday is "Ladies Day" so we can watch all movies only one thousand yen!

On the day, we watched "Kaizi". It is the movie's titile. The movie's main character is a slovenly man. His name is "Kaizi". One day, he has a high-interest debt. After that, story developed and Kaizi grew up with his friends.

The movie had a lot of cruel scene so I looked away from those many times. However, the story was good so I could enjoy watching it!

After the movie, we went to a restaurant. I orderd an omelette containing stir-fried rice. This picture is it. You know, it had two kinds of sauces. One was ketchup and another was cheese with black pepper. Therefore, I could enjoy eating two kings of tastes.

I had very good time in the day and I want to go cinema every Wednesday, I thoght.

A chocolate!


Tofay, I finished my class at 2:20 p.m. So, my friend and I went to lobby and enjoyed talking for a long time. We talked about each other. A few hours later, we felt a little hungry so we went to a kiosk and bought some snacks.

This picture is my snack! It is a chocolate. This character is "Baikinman". Maybe almost people know him because he is very popular character in Japan. He is an enemy of "Anpanman". Anpanman is a hero in Japanese animation so almost Japanese people had seen him before when they were children.

This chocolate was very good. Additionally, I could have a nice time with my friend.
