Inflation near future

Hi, everyone! 

I agree with you, Cosmos, we can enjoy our lives in various ways every day, and I think you, too.

Plum, I suppose you are really honest person. It appeared that young people vaguely aware of that situation, and they may lose hope not only in academic world, but also in every social world. I hope that my kids would be an independent, free person from any kind of authority as much as possible.

Magnolia, it is nice to go onsen for your pain. My husband used to say that he liked Sanage onsen, and I’d like to go there some day.

Peach, what a coincidence, we also had Sukiyaki tonight, for my older daughter’s birth day. It is one of her favorite meals.

Azalea, I fear inflation near future. I must think about it from now on…

I’m happy to write to all of you.
See you, good night.

Hi, everyone!!!
It is always good to read your messages.

Yesterday I went to work, and taught two classes at Gakusen Uni. Library. I teach only 7 times each semester, which means I teach totally 14 times a year. Definitely the frequency is not enough for the students to improve their English proficiency. Now the advanced class members get gather after my class to do group study. About a month ago one of the students wrote to me and asked whether they could use one of the study rooms at the library for their group study, and the head of the library willingly gave permission to get them to use any room available to them. In fact, once before during the winter holiday, they gathered at the library to do voluntary group study, and thus they are used to doing group study at the library. Nonetheless, they are amazing students. One of them just started an English blog, and other members, it seems, are enjoying writing in her blog.

I also teach at TCLC in Sakae, and the members of the class are going to give an opinion speech on 27th of November, and I invited my class at the library, though with one condition, which is that they should ask questions after each speech. But they are still quite happy about my invitation to the speech presentation at TCLC.

At the moment they are writing their profiles for their English Diary Exhibition at the university festival held on 27th and 28th of this month.

Let me show you their profiles one by one, if possible. Because they are so cute!!!! and so enjoyable to read. This is the first profile:

Hi, everyone.

My name is Marie. I was born and grew up in Toyota, Aichi. I have always lived in Toyota, although I went to a junior college in Nagoya to study visual design. After graduating from the college, I worked at an advertising design office.

When I was 25 years old, I got married, and then had two children, a son and a daughter.

Fifteen years later, I obtained an interior coordinator license and got a nice job at a house builder. I designed the interior of houses including some model houses. At first I enjoyed my work, but several years later it became very hard for me. At that time I worked nearly 10 hours every day, and got very tired and lost my health. So I left the company 6 years ago.

Now, I spent my time doing hobbies, reading books, learning Japanese painting and English. I have been having quiet days.

Isn’t it lovely?
I will talk to you later, my precious friends. Bye for now.
