HI, ladies!
It is Monday, January 19, 2009, today. I’m also back after skipping this Blog for one week.
Writing essay in English was really harder than before for my almost empty brain, after the long interval of the New Year Holiday. Inspired by instructive suggestions from Azalea and Peach the other day, I’ve managed to keep writing my essay…In addition to it, STEP test will be held on next Sunday, which makes me hasty to some extent. But last Friday I could have a lot of listening subjects with Cosmos, and Alice’s encouragement inspirited us as usual, of course.
Question for STEP:
Is society doing enough to deal with violent crime? (2008.10 STEP test)
(Points-Banning weapons/Stricter punishments/The influence of the media)
Recently we are seriously concerning about the increase of violent crime even in this peaceful Japan. We have to do more effective methods to protect our social life from that.
First, banning weapons that can easily hurt other people is essential to detect violent action. The reason is that we can now get those weapons such as guns or solid knives through the Internet more smoothly than before.
Then, we need to adopt stricter punishments on criminal using of those. It is important for adults to teach younger people who don’t know how harmful they are.
Finally, we must know that the influence of the media is very serious. Through a lot of advertisements, TV programs, and the internet we receive violent messages whether noticing or not.
In order to keep our society safe, urgent protection is needed more and more. We adults must have big responsibility for deterioration of those violent crimes.
…My brain didn’t work well. So, see you next!

Hi, ladies.
It is January 19. It was rather warm. Today when I got home, I received a fax sent by one of my daughter's classmates. It says a mother of my daughter's classmate passed away. At 6:30, my daughter and I went to Aishoden in Horita. She is as old as I. Life is really short.

I don't think society is doing enough to deal with violent crime because of the following two reasons. Firstly remember the case in which a man who gradged his unsettled temporal working suituation killed and injured pedestrians in Akiwabara. He bought specially designed knives with high killing and injury rate. If there were any laws banning selling such weapons, this tragic incident might not happen. Secondly although the influence of media is big, the Japanese government does not take any actions against the violent scean of the program. Laws banning the weapons and regulating the violent scean should be discussed intensively. Stricter punishment for the criminal should come after introducing those regualations. I' sure the government can avoid giving people the thought of killing more through those.
Oh, it is difficult・・
I'd like to make DVD of Delia's cooking as Plum did, or do they sell the DVD? I can watch on TV, but I don't know how to make DVD.
Maybe I should ask the person in charge.
