Hi, ladies!
Plum’s comment made me so excited. I love the word ‘treasure hunter’…What a fascinating concept it is! I can enjoy an approach to her, Kanno Sugako, if I think of it as a treasure hunt.
I also like ‘adventure’, and when I was a pretty young girl, I used to get absorbed in a lot of adventurous novels, such as Treasure Ireland, Takarajima and Two Years Holiday, Jugo Syonen Hyoryuki. I strongly wanted to be a boy at that time. As I got older, my interests shifted to Who-dun-it, such as Syonen tanteidan, Sherlock Holmes and Lupin.
All of them have a nostalgic taste for me…I’d like to re-read them, especially Holms in English, which was exactly written in the Victorian era.
So, it’s time to close. See you, have a nice weekend!

Dear Cherry and friends,
It is Friday,May 30th, cloudy. I borrowed a book entitled "Jyosei-no-tameno-tetsugaku nyumon" from the Aichi prefectual Library written by Matsuda Sachiko. There I found an interesting comment by Niche. Women should make rebirth three times. First we were born as cammels, which bear the burdens or labour. Second rebirth is to be lions, which fight for the games and do not care the difference of sex. On the third stage, what creature should women be ? Can you guess?
Hi, everyone,
I have long way to go to understand education in the Victorian age..., but I think I am enjoying studying because everything is new to me. Strictly speacking, for example, I am confused with between the usage of 'strict' meaning precise, stringent, stern, othodox.
I'm looking forward to seeing you tomorrow.
Hi, friends,
Plum, thank you for everything. Your lecture is full of knowlege and insight. I can make sure that education has something to do with the economic stablity. I'm also very happy that I can learn more precisely about the history of education in England as I studied a little about it for the summer seminor. I think I am in need to find the women whom I like to study about. Thank you for reading and leading me.
Hi, ladies!!!
How are you doing?
It is a bit cloudy morning, but it should be all right in the afternoon, by that, I mean that we will have pleasant weather in the afternoon.
I would like to express my appreciation to you all for your presence in the tutorial. As usual, we had a delightful time together and I was especially happy to hear that Alice is working as an English teacher after Asahi san at Aichi Uni. It is fascinating, isn’t it, to help each other for career and subsistence as well?
I would like to present one correction in my utterance during my talk made yesterday. I said “euphemism”, intending to draw your attention to the word “euthanasia”. For some reason, it is tremendously easy for me to mix up these words, and sometimes I confuse my audience.
In Holland, euthanasia is legalized, and one of the TV programs I watched in Sydney almost a year ago was about an elderly doctor patient who was at last stage of his disease, cancer. He went to Holland to apply for euthanasia and his application was legally accepted. Then he returned to Australia and start getting ready for his death, by packing his luggage and writing good bye letters to his friends as well as talking to the camera (his future audience) about how he decided to take this particular way of killing himself, and he got aboard the plane for his last journey to Holland with his wife. Eventually he died at a medical institution in Holland, seemingly in a quiet and peaceful way of mercy killing.
Watching this program, if I were him, I would do the same thing, I thought.
I have never been to Holland nor have any knowledge about it no more than general news I sometimes hear/watch on television, but it seems likely that the country respects individuals’ dignity… It is a controversy issue, of course, I am aware of it.
Just remind you of “euthanasia” and “euphemism”. Thank you for reading this message, my lovely friends. Bye for now. Have a brilliant Monday!!!
Hello, friends.
Conglaturations, alice!
Your efforts toward English and research are bearing fruits one after another. Your future will be rosy and hopeful!
I wish I were much younger!
It was too late for me to work as an English teacher, so my working days are numbered. I really enjoy teaching and I'd like to have such opportunities as long as possible.
Dear Plum and Magnolia,
Thank you for sending me hearty congratulations.
I'm touched and honored.
Magnolia, please don't give yourself negative words. You don't deserve such words. I bet learners need experienced teachers like you.
