Hi, ladies!!
It is Friday, October 31, 2008, today, and has been cloudy, a bit chilly.
Tomorrow is November 1, the first day of middle autumn. The trees haven’t begun to turn change color yet, and I’m looking for watching beautiful leaves.
I don’t like winter, especially here in Nagoya, because of the cold…But when I was a young girl, I didn’t care about a severe winter at all, and felt comfortable even outside the house. Now I can recall my fine memory.
Well, it’s time to say good bye.
See you, have a good holiday!

Something cruel
HI, ladies!!
It is Thursday, October 30, 2008, today, and another hot day. With such changeable weather, we can't decide what kind of cloths we should wear, can we?
These days we can so easily go beyond space-time, owing to development of high technology such as the Internet, that I am seized by an illusion of permanent human being. Though more than 20 years have already gone by, I can clearly watch a nostalgic video tape of a favorite pop star through the Net, and at the same time, there’s his image in the present situation. Both the young and old same person is blending with each other, and I sometimes get confused…
There is a big difference between now and then, of course, but in a plane screen those image lost their own temperature or smell, and had similar faces. It’s a very odd experience for me.
On the other hand, I can be impressed by forever-young Hiromi Go, and also disappointed at overweight Kenji Sawada, even if the difference is caused by cosmetic surgery. Time does something cruel.
So, see you next, bye!!

New-flu pandemic
Hi, ladies!!
Cosmos, I didn’t know the word ginseng, chosen-ninjin. It seems like the Japanese reading of a Chinese character. By the way, whenever I read an article about China’s famous person in TIME, it is difficult for me to recognize who s/he is in its English reading. Mandarin is harder language than English. China must be our mother country in a sense, but I feel it far away from our home…
The other day I read a terrible article in the newspaper about a crisis of new-flu pandemic, warning us of emergencies near future, or more precisely, this winter. A researcher says that Japanese government or authorities had so little information that he made his own site to provide public with quick reports from overseas.
We need food stocks at least for 2 weeks, he says, when a new flu pandemic occurs in Japan. He also emphasizes that it is important to hold accurate information in common in this serious situation. It will be frightening, but he is quite right, isn’t he?
Well, see you tomorrow, bye!

The hardest time
Hi, ladies!!
It is Tuesday, October 28, 2008, today, and the sky is beautifully clear now.
Plum, I thank you for your uplifting words. I will try the coming STEP test next year, and keep working till then.
I’m also afraid of your absence during the hardest time for essay writing. Even now I feel uneasy without anybody to help me in writing concisely…but it’s alright, I will ask my precious friends after you leave for Sydney in January of 2009. How time flies…
Well, see you later. Bye!

October 27
Hi, ladies!!
It is Monday, October 27, 2008, today, and has been a good weather for the first time in the last few days. But I feel as if it’s still in late summer because of such a high temperature.
Well, I’ll write this after a break.

The North American big ban?
HI, ladies!!
It is Thursday, October 23, 2008, today, and has been raining on and off.
Plum, I was surprised at your beautiful writing. A big thanks for your explaining, and I’d like to try it.
Review the STEP test:
The North American big ban?
A team of scientists is now arguing that the giant mammals of North America went out with a bang---literally. The culprit is believed to have been a comet that collided with earth about 13,000 years ago, triggering an initial wave of heat that swept across the continent, ignited massive fires, and sent clouds of debris into the atmosphere.
Q1. There are materials in the layer that “collectively provide very strong evidence that the layer (of sediment) was produced by this extraterrestrial impact,” he (geologist) states. These materials include unusual forms of carbon as well as high concentrations of iridium, a metal rarely found on earth.
= The existence of a layer of deposits whose chemical composition suggests it did not originate on earth.
Q2. …his team believe that the 1,000-year-long cold spell, known as the Younger Dryas event, was a result of the impact. The team theorizes that the vast Laurentide Ice Sheet, which once covered much of North America, thawed and sent massive quantities of fresh water into the Atlantic Ocean. This water blocked a major current that has been bringing warming tropical waters from the south and thereby triggered the cooling.
=because a huge ice mass melted, which resulted in the release of a large amount of fresh water into the ocean.
Q3. Archaeological evidence shows that the Clovis culture (early Americans) was once found across North America, but that it became fragmented about 13,000 years ago, suggesting a catastrophe paralleling the disappearance of the large mammals.
=the comet impact had as great an effect on the culture of the Clovis people as it did on the large animals that roamed across North America.
…This article reminded me of Azalea’s big smile.
So, see you tomorrow. Bye!

STEP test
HI, ladies!!
Thanks to Alice’s dedicated teaching in English for the last six months, I have got accustomed to read such a long article. But I had barely enough time to check my answers on the STEP test, and made some mistakes.
Review the STEP test:
Synthetic biology: rewriting the genetic code (reading comprehension)
Q1.…the most remarkable discoveries will almost certainly be in the biological sciences. …in the field of synthetic biology. Their aim is to take on the daunting task of designing and building completely new forms of life from basic components.
=develop artificial genetic components that can be used to construct organisms that currently do not exist.
Q2….it is not surprising that these synthetic biologists have come to view living organisms as complex computing machines capable of replicating themselves.
=a change in approach that now emphasizes treating natural life forms in a similar way to machines resulting in the belief that cells can be redesigned for specific purposes.
Q3.such redesigned cells could produce various kinds of chemicals and polymers to make food, plastics, silks, and many other kinds of materials, including some not yet even imaginable.
=scientists have turned to the development of hybrid organisms made up of both natural and synthetic parts.
Q4. Keasling believes that relatively small amounts of yeast and sugar placed in a fermentation tank could produce enough self-replicating synthetic artemisinin to treat all the malaria patients in the world.
=He believed he could produce a substance that is needed as a medicine for sufferers of a stubborn form of malaria.
...We can very often see such questions about genetic issues in the past STEP tests.

Norwegian people
Hi, ladies!!
It is Monday, October 20, 2008, today, and comfortable autumn weather.
Rose, I’ve once heard Jero's song on TV, and also impressed by his beautiful, emotional voice. He can show us fantastic borderless music world, can’t he?
Well, can you tell me the names of Norwegian public figures? Ibsen, Grieg, Amundsen, Gaarder (author of Sophie’s world)…I have known just a few names. Since I became big fan of a-ha, 80’s Norwegian pop singers, again, I have begun researching about their mother nation. In fact, I had completely forgotten that I studied about Norway’s political situation at last year’s summer seminar…! It is probably because I learned only about the social system, not about people’s lives at all at that time. Even now I don’t know how Norwegian people really feel about their nation’s high-quality welfare system or quota system. I can just see their organization.
I got little information about Norway despite my searching on the Net. I’d like to know something deep as well as their magnificent nature and stylish design.
So, see you later, bye!

Changing family names
HI, ladies!!
Today’s topic:
Should women change their family names when they marry?
These days increasing number of women have hesitated to marry, and one of the reasons behind the scene is a situation in which women have to change their own life style as well as their family names. I believe it is important for both women and men to have the right for choosing their family names.
Firstly, for a long time Japanese traditional family system has suppressed over women, and wives have had few rights within their family. Even now, changing their family names means subordination to husband’s family for wives. Now it seems nonsense for modern women.
Secondly, changing their family names undermines women’s personal issues. Whenever they marry, divorce, and re-marry, they have to publicly tell other people such private facts by their new names.
Thirdly, this family system generates discrimination against minority such as foreigners and single mother family. Every family should have equal rights for their own lives.
In conclusion, only women shouldn’t change their family names when they marry. In order to develop a sense of equality for both sexes, it is imperative to recognize the right for a variety of family lives.
…There seems to be some complicated problems in this field.
So, see you next. Have a nice weekend!

Convenience stores
Hi, ladies!!
I envy your friend's former job, tour guide, Alice. It must need high-quality services for customers.
Today’s topic:
The advantages of convenience stores in Japan
There are now a lot of convenience stores all over the country, and they have already contributed to our daily lives in all aspects.
Firstly, those stores have a variety of retail goods for almost 24 hours a day, which allow consumers to get anything they want anytime, anywhere. It is especially helpful for people who are living on their own.
Secondly, because those goods are controlled under high-qualified management system, we can always buy them without concerning about their expiration date.
Thirdly, they also make a contribution to a community as security equipment. By opening during midnight, neighboring people can feel peace of mind and even strangers can get information and goods at a store.
In conclusion, although there may be high energy consumption on convenience stores, it is now imperative for us to use them for our social life.
...Disadvantages are...1. potential for dangerous crime at midnight 2. high energy consumption
3. too much convenience
This is certainly a Japanese business, isn’t this?
So, see you tomorrow. Bye!

Package tour
HI, ladies!!
It is Tuesday, October 14, 2008, today, and has been raining since morning.
It’s cold rain.
Gloriosa, your graphic description and questions about the painter were so fantastic that I found pleasant to imagine them freely. Your way of viewing her works was a kind of professional in that field, wasn’t it?
Today’s topic:
The advantages of package tours in Japan
In Japan package tours have become popular for a long time, and provided travelers with good advantages.
Firstly, they allow us to visit to beautiful places with a reasonable price and convenience. After ordering a travel agency for a favorite tour, we have only to gather a train station or like, and obey a guide’s order.
Second, its shorter tour program is suitable for us, because we Japanese tend to take fewer holidays than other developed countries. We can effectively enjoy a lot of destination despite of our short trip.
Thirdly, it contributes to eco-friendly trip. By touring with other travelers we can save a big amount of energy for transportation.
In conclusion, although it makes us busy to enjoy holidays in package tour, I think it is good and easy way for us to take a trip.
…Disadvantages are… 1. A tight schedule 2. Less freedom 3. Bad traveling companions?
So, see you later. Good bye!

Reading in English
HI, ladies!!
It is Thursday, October 9, 2008, today.
Cosmos, your spoken English version was so wonderful that I could get the outline of your writing easier than mine! In fact, it took much time for me to write this kind of writing properly, and I’d like to write and speak in English smoothly like you.
Rose, you had a fantastic experience with Japanese kyogen. Do you like it? Since I have never got a chance of watching kyogen, I envy you.
These days I’m getting used to reading a long English sentence thanks to many Victorian materials. Before finishing them, I felt nervous while reading in English. It was a big fear that I had to read to the end of the thick copies…Now I can feel there is almost nothing to fear in reading, because I have only to go forward along with English. It’s fantastic development for me. Thank you.
So, see you tomorrow. Good bye!!

The sizes of animals
HI, ladies!!
Cosmos, it's interesting theory that the sizes of animals that live in a small island become medium, isn’t it? If so, English people are medium as well as Japanese. By the way, isn’t it related to their personality?
Sunflower, thank you for sharing Delia’s sentences. Your listening is wonderful! I couldn’t watch the DVD Plum lent me due to my player’s difficulty, but I was able to enjoy the program’s atmosphere. I could not help laughing as she talks that putting a timer on is good because we are sometimes absent-minded! That’s a likely story. I’d like to watch it anyhow.
Alice, I’m glad to hear that you are producing our site on the Net. But I’m afraid it may make you busier…I appreciate your all services.

Young men who refuse to go out
HI, ladies!! It is Tuesday, October 7, 2008.
Today’s topic:
Modern phenomenon: Why do young men shun society?
Recently, the number of young men who refuse to go out has been increasing in Japan. I think the reason is the following three points.
Firstly, a declining birthrate means this patrilineal society has more families with only one son in whom they place all their hopes. Parents tend to welcome anything he wants and comply with his demand.
Secondly, boys grow up without male role models because their fathers work all the time. Many sons have had mother-oriented nuclear family in modern Japan.
Thirdly, Japan’s “culture of shame” makes people fear how they are perceived if they have a problem fitting in. Thus, parents hesitate to go out their son freely, and son himself can be involved in computer games in his own room.
In consequence of this Japanese family problem, they have no ability to communicate with others. In order to save them, I believe it is imperative for parents to change their biased view on their son, and let them become independent from their family.
… interesting, isn’t it? I made it from an article in the Japan times.
So, see you later, good bye.

Discrimination against women
Hi, ladies!!
Yesterday I was also impressed with your energetic tutorial, Plum. And with your wonderful each comments, my precious friends. In fact, I didn’t recognize the meaning of Victorian study before starting this tutorial. But while reading a lot of materials, I could find that every time, everywhere, there has been a history of discrimination against women. Whether flattered or undermined as a mother or a woman by the government, we should look through their plot…

One of the sexiest artists
Hi, ladies!!
Today, I'd like to talk about my ideal man, again, and so please skip this if you have no interest.
I think Morten Harket, a lead singer of a-ha, is one of the sexiest artists around the world. His charm appears in some figures. Firstly, his incredible voice. He can sing in from a vigorous baritone to an amazing falsetto. I recommend their wonderful tunes such as “Hunting high and low” or “Stay on these roads,” their biggest hits. Secondly, his beautiful looks. This is my taste, of course, but many women will agree with my opinion. (He currently looks like Ryan O’Neill or Richard Gere very much.) Thirdly, his calm and modest appearance. In spite of his big popularity in pop music scene for these 20 years, he still seems just like a shy boy from Norway…
Well, are you getting interested in him? If so, you can enjoy him in youtube.
Thanks to their fantastic music, I’ve had very happy, pleasant time these days.
Thank you for reading. See you next, bye!!

The Victorian study
HI, ladies!!
How are you?? It is Friday, October 3, 2008, today.
While preparing for the Victorian study at the day after tomorrow, I wonder how religion had influenced on the ideal of womanhood in the Victorian age.
Because I think religious impact might be one of the most important causes for opponents for higher women’s education. I have little knowledge of Christianity, and am interested in some interpretation of Bible, such as Adam and Eve issue. I’m looking forward to seeing all of you.
Well, I’ll go back to my housework. Bye, bye!

Fantastic encounter
HI, ladies!!
It is Thursday, October 2, 2008, today, and we’ve enjoyed clear, blue sky all day.
I’d like to talk about my fantastic encounter on the Net. It seems I’ve just fallen in love, AGAIN, with the living legendary artists from Norway. They were the one of the most popular pop song groups in the late 1980’s, when a lot of video-music beautiful collaboration were in vogue. They had explosive sales because of their catchy melody, cool style and edgy videos.
