ESSAY OF THE WEEK

#14 The best movie I have seen.
こんにちは。

新年を迎えたのはつい最近に感じますが、あっという間に
1月も終わろうとしています。

寒さも厳しくなったり、和らいだりですので、引き続き
風邪には気をつけたいですね。

さて、今日のtopicは"The best movie I have seen"です!
一口に「いい映画」と言っても人それぞれですが、自分に
とっていい映画は、ずっと心に残っています。

私が最近観て面白かった映画は「カールじいさんの空飛ぶ家」
です。

それでは、essayを紹介します!




The best movie I've ever seen is "The phantom of the opera."
This movie was recommended by my parents, and I went to see it with my sisters.
The movie has a lot of music in it and the actors sing along to the music. I thought that the music really exited the audience at the movie theater. After I left the theater, my heart kept beating fast. That night I dream that the phantom and heroine sang while I slept. When I woke up, I felt that they actually had been there.
Now, I want to go to an opera house to see "The phantom of the opera." performed as an opera. I believe that the phantom and the heroine will come and song for me again in my dreams.


教師から
I've never seen "phantom of the opera" on stage or at a movie theater, but maybe I will someday. The show has been on Broadway in New York for a long, long time.
I hope the Phantom and heroine visit you again.

#13 Foreign athletes in Japanese sports
こんばんは。

今日のessayのtopicは"Foreign athletes in Japanese sports"です。
日本の国技である相撲では、多くの外国人力士が活躍しています。



When I watch a sports program, I find/see that there are many foreign athletes in Japan these days . We have a lot of traditional sports, in particular, Sumo is known world wide as the Japanese national sport.
In recent news, Bulgarian ozeki Kotooshu has become a very famous foreign sumo wrestler. Hawaiian or Mongolia-born wrestlers are nothing new in Sumo; however a European sumo wrestler is rare. I had thought that Sumo was an uninteresting sport to Westerners, so I'm very glad to hear about his success. I hope he will change Sumo history.
Living in a foreign country must be very hard for athletes because they have to face language problems or culture differences. I often hear that many Japanese athletes also have a lot of hard times in foreign countries. These experiences must make them stronger mentally as well as physically. I want to cheer on athletes who try to do their best in foreign countries.


教師より
Yes, perhaps other Europeans will take up sumo because of Kotooshu's success in Japan. I haven't heard of Japanese baseball players having too many problems in the States - although I did read about Sasaki's wife not liking life in the US. and that being one reason their marriage broke up... or something like that.

#12 Women's role in the workplace
明けましておめでとうございます!!

年末年始にかけてしばらくブログの更新が遅れていました。
2010年を迎え、また新たな気持ちでSTARTしていますので
今年もWILL ENGLISH SCHOOLをよろしくお願い致します。


さて、新年最初のessayのtopicは
"Women's role in the workplace" です。
確実に、「男女平等参画社会」の傾向は強まっていますが、実際の職場において、「女性」はどう感じているのでしょうか?




I think there is still sexual discrimination in the work place. For example, women prepare and clean up tea for every one for lunch because we have lunch at our desk, although men also drink tea in my work place but don't clean up. Some men tend to think that women will quit their jobs when they get married or pregnant, and they do not want to entrust women with many tasks and want men to their most important jobs. It is also difficult for women to leave for a new post in a foreign country because some women marry foreigners, quit their jobs and live there. It is certain that women tend to quit their jobs sooner than men, however there are many women who want to continue working after their marriage or maternity leave. Some companies are beginning to use systems where both men and women can get child-care leave, or allowing mothers to leave work early. I think it is difficult for men and women to be totally equal in the work place, but the number of men who understand women's role in the work place and at home is gradually increasing.



教師より

It's difficult to a situation where both men and women are totally equal regarding childcare. Newborn babies needed their mothers more than their fathers. It is impossible that the father could be totally responsible for raising the child, but it's less practical. The mother will need time off work to recover anyway. If both parents can get time off it is great, but unfortunately not all families can afford this.
