Essay practice: Online Shopping

Posted by: mameta on: September 21, 2011

(Essay practice)

Although it takes time to purchase the goods, I believe online shopping is superior to traditional ways of shopping from afor several reasons.

Firstly, people can order the goods around the clock. Workers sometimes work late at night, and many department stores are closed when they arrived at. Butfinish work. However, online shops are open for all day,day (24/7), hence it is convenient for workers to get thepurchase items.

Secondly, people can purchase goods which they cannot get from nearby stores. Foreign books are usually sold at only at large bookstores. When I lived in xxx, I had to go to large cities to buy foreign books, even if they don’tdidn’t have many kinds of books in English. On the other hand,With online shopping, I can access online book stores like Amazon.co.jp, and I can find what I want to read.

Moreover, online shopping has some merits fromfor the business company. Especiallyonline company selling the goods. It costs less for small companies cost less to advertise their companies through website. Theya website, and they also cut their expense to borrow theexpenses through borrowing space to placedisplay their goods.

In conclusion, shopping using byvia the Internet is more beneficial than the traditional ways even though the time performance is inferior to the traditional ones.

Sprots and character

Posted by: mameta on: September 18, 2011

(Essay Practice)

Some people may look down on losers, then it will lead to discrimination through sports. However, I believe that sports help develop good character for the following reasons.

First, people can foster one’s  independence through sports. They plan the training menu to improve their skill to win the game or competition. Also continuing the training is raising their persistence even if they are outnumbered in the game. I believe independence is beneficial in their daily life.

Second, people can improve communication skills and learn to respect others through sports, especially team sports. To realize their strategy and tactics to win the game, players should talk about the tactics with others. Also, if teammates cannot fully understand how they should move in the game, members explain the situation and advise to correct properly.

Moreover, some players can learn politeness. For example, Kendo is one of the sports which respects good manners. At the Kendo games, players use bamboo swords to hit enemies. It may sound violent, but actually it is not to induce fighting because people learn to respect and are grateful to others through Kendo.

In conclusion, I think sports raise people’s good characteristics like independence, communication, and respect to others. Sports will have a good impact, not only physically but also mentally.

September

Posted by: mameta on: September 3, 2011

Oh, today is September 3rd…. Times fly.

I passed the Eiken test (1st grade) in July. I was very surprised when I received the certificate. Of course I was very glad.

However, I realized one thing…. I applied an English class for the Eiken interview test, just day after the interview test in July.

After thinking about the cancel, I chose to go to the class on schedule. I understood my real skill is too far to pass the test.

The word “I” is too much used….isn’t it?  To avoid using “I” is difficult for now.

Essay practice: Fast Food

Posted by: mameta on: March 1, 2011

Recently, there are many kinds of fast food in Japan. Some people often buy them, and thethem often, while others don’t. I believe thosethe demerits outweigh the merits byfor the following reasons.

Firstly, fast food helps people shorten the time for preparingto prepare the food and having them.eat it. It looks good at a glance because people use the time for other things like work, household.or household chores. However, cooking and/or eating time are important for people to relax, refleshrefresh and have conversationconversations with coworkers and/or family members. ToBy slashing those times the amount of relaxation time are likely to be equal to cut their relax time,is equally reduced, and it often stresses people out more.

Secondly, some fast food utilizes the unhealthy ingredientingredients to curb their costs. For example, shortening is used to cook fried potato. It makes fries crispy. However, this oil contains trans-unsaturated fat acid,fatty acids, which are not good for your health. People have to pay attention what ingredient to bewhat ingredients are used, but it is impossible they vigilanceto be vigilant about all materials. Cooking byfood themselves areis far healthier than buying fast food.

Moreover, buying fast food everyall the time is toa waste of money. The cost of fast food includes the fee of not only ingredients but also labor costs and utility costs. To buyBuying food in supermarkets and cook by themselves arecooking it at home is cheaper than gettingbuying fast food.

In conclusion, fast food is a curse for people in modern society. It deprives people of the relaxedrelaxation time, a healthy body, and money without informing us clearly.

Essay Tips: casual dress code

Posted by: mameta on: February 23, 2011

1. it is important to easily put wear suitable clothes on and off for people in the office. Usually, people wear long sleeves suits when visiting other companies even in the summer. By lowering the temperature of the air conditioner, a lot of CO2 is emitted and it is not eco-friendly. Like officers in offices in Okinawa prefecture, if people can wear short sleeves shirts only as an the official style, they feel comfortable even though the temperature of the air conditioning is set at more than 26℃.

2. having and keeping suits by for the different seasons costs more than those of casual clothes. Suits and shirts are not only expensive but also are often washed need to be cleaned at cleaning shops.

Posted by: mameta on: February 17, 2011

I read an article about the public execution in North Korea. After reading, reading it, I tried to summarize it.
The main point is that the number of public execution executions in North Korea from December 2009 to last November was increased more than tripled than that of the number in 2009. The one One of the reasons is that people feel discontent about the redenomination and its process. Due to the denomination in Nov 2009, many bills turned to be valueless papers, paper, and it undermined the street market economy. Hence Hence, people have to live under harder circumstances than before. The report said the aim of the execution contained executions was to make people fear if they criticized criticizing the regime about denomination.

mini practice: moral education in school

Posted by: mameta on: February 15, 2011

1. moral education
I believe thethat moral education is one of the purposes of education and it should be taught in school.
The reason for the necessity of ethics is that citizens should realizeunderstand and keep their morals to run the healthy society asbe a member.healthy member of society. For example, “Don’t bury juniorbully younger children and challenged people”, “Don’t steal things which are belongedbelong to others”, and so on. A few decades ago, they could understand these thinking ways of thinking through their daily life in a big family and/or regional communities. However, currently the opportunities for children to learn them for children are decreasing because of small families and playing games with friends without talking. Hence, education takes an important role for thinking about moral and right behavior as a person.
