I go to the Akita International University.
In this university, students have to do internship.

When we do internship, we earn 2 credits by experiencing the real job.

I have heared that the system of internship in Japan is slightly different from
America or Western countries' system.

There are many web site for introducing internship oppotunities to Japanese students.

Some of this university students go to some companies to experience internship about two weeks this summer vacation.

I hope that I can do internship when I am in China.

I use this textbook in a first year composition class.

I have a lot of language use problems when I write essaies.

This book includes tones of good exapmles and guides. After reading one essay about some topic, I read a guide to write an essay.

Now I am writing a reflection essay. My topic is about time management.

Until tomorrow, I have to rewrite the 1st draft because I wrote too much specific my experiences in the 1st draft.

I will read this textbook and think about my 2nd draft. Maybe I need to put general stories about time management.

Gender is another category that is not important in Japanese culture now. Historically, Japanese society has valued men more than women and considered men more rational, competent, and entitled to various social advantages. I think that the conditions of women have changed a lot.

In the 1800s, women were not allowed to own property, or enter politics. Japan had experienced the dramatic events such as Meiji Restoration and WWⅡ. The people under the emperor worship were exposed to the United States democracy. After the war, the country became a democratic nation. Gradually, our point of view is changing. There are some examples. Family structure has changed from large scale to small scale. Paternal rights have weakened. Human moral has crumbled. Women have started to get jobs. Some young people postpone their marriages. People get a job for wealthy life.

The Japanese elderly have a financial issue. They are worried about public sentiment. They hesitate to express their feelings to the family. Unlike the western culture, Japanese single seniors have difficulties when they date. The elderly also need human relationships not only with family members but also with community members. Without self-encouragement, they can’t start a new career or hobby. To improve self-esteems for both young and old people, Japan should educate people to respect others’ feelings in a different way.

(The history of Ouwa city, n.d.)


Last Thursday, I gave a presentation in Speech communication class.
I spoke these contents.

Good afternoon. My name is Chika Matsukura.
I am mixed twins. since I grew up with him,
I am interested in “The Mental Differences between Men and Women.”
So today, I have been invited to talk to you about it.
First, I will talk about
I. The development of male and female roles historically,
II. The function of male and female sex hormones
III. The influence of culture on the human body
And finally, I conclude my presentation.

So let’s move on to my first part that is
the development of male and female roles.
As you see this picture, men and women had different kinds of jobs historically.
Mainly, women had child rearing jobs.
On the other hand, men had a job that the job was to get food.
Therefore, men and women developed their mental thoughts differently.

This brings me to the second part which is
the function of male and female sex hormones.
According to Oxford Advanced Learner’s dictionary 2000,
hormone is a chemical substance produced in the body or
in a plant that encourages growth or influences how the cells
and tissues function.
However, male sex hormones and female sex hormones are different.
For example, male sex hormones encourage a person to be muscular.
Female sex hormones encourage a person to be calm.
Therefore, both brains and sex hormones influence males
and females action and thinking differently

My next example is the amount of male and female sex hormones.
This picture is the amount of male and female sex hormones.
The above numbers represent ages.
The vertical numbers represent the amount.
This is a male sex hormone. This one is a female sex hormone.
As you can see, men product much sex hormones more than women.
Therefore, men think about sex more than women.

Let’s now go on to consider the influence of culture on the human body.
In fact, cultures limit the natural function of sex hormones.
Since men did not have so much child-rearing jobs so that men had extra time.
They developed cultures such as politics, studies, economics, and religions.
Religions and economic system created marriage styles.
To tell the truth, men need a number of women to leave their next generation.
So the marriage system is against men’s body nature.

I would like to sum up by saying men and women developed from the same human seed, but men and women act and think differently because of human body natures. Thank you for listening my presentation.

Today I read this e-mail mazagine.

Terror Hit London Three explosions one after another took place in London's underground system and one hit a double-decker bus Thursday morning. At least 33 were killed and hundreds were injured, Scotland Yard said.

I got socked because the terrorists killed many people who lived their lives usually.

Education is very important when people bring up their children.

It is historical wonderful human culture.

Education influence individual personality.

I want to know why the terrorist believed their action was right.

Today, I gave the 3rd presentation in speech communication class.

The title was the mental differences between men and women.

I paid attention the language using, especially transition using.

After finishing my presention, I could find some tasks such as

keeping eye contact with audience and

speaking louder.

I think that I should have spoken louder.

I have found improvements for the next presentation, so that
I want to develop my next presentation by reviewing this presentation.

Yesterday, My friend invited me his apartment
and we had a party^-^

Three Taiwanese students cooked and served us very delicious Taiwan dishes!

I was very happy.

I could learn the Chinese words.

I live in Akita in Japan.

I would like to introduce what Akita is like.

And you can also see Akita from these web site!

I had a tea ceremony and flower arrangement gathering.

I think traditional culture has taken over differently.
