A few days ago, I read a newspaper article pointing out that the designated institutions offering senior high school students who aim at entering universities the tests to measure their English capabilities have yet to determine their exact plans of implementation. This is a serious concern for both the students and their teachers.
I know to some extent how the Eiken exams（STEP Tests） will change especially for the sake of senior high schoolers, but today I recognized for the first time that the TOFFL iBT Test would also change its test style as of August 1, 2019, which is only two months ahead（press release May 27th, 2019）!
Very confusing!
I really sympathize with the students who may suffer from the confusions possibly arisen by these changes when they consider their tactics to be successful in their entrance screenings for universities.

No.32 Teachers also seem to be confused. 投稿者:まさ・ふくプロ 投稿日:2019年05月31日 (金) 14時16分 |
Exactly, and teachers also seem to be very confused. One of my old student, who is now a famous private high school teacher, is tackling this issue but is very angry because it is not clear who this system-reform is for.
The government has thrown a ball to schools and their students without any detailed instructions, which is annoying those involved.
Moreover, one important problem to be taken into account is who will judge students' long English compositions, if introduced in a test. Who will decide the line between good and bad about each sentence or about the whole composition. How??

I may not have to tell you here again what happened in Kawasaki yesterday morning, but I am pretty sure that many of you feel strong anger about this attack.
Many foreign media report this incident and they say that mass killing attack is very rare in Japan, which is known as a very safe country with low crime rate.
And an expression which one of the reporters used in a video report impressed me, which is, "Japan is not immune to this kind of attack".
Right. Not immune. We are completely used to a low-crime-rate society. It can also be said peaceful means not immune to crimes.
But even if we were immune, it might be very difficult to stop mass killing attack especially attacking children.
What we can do now is just trying not to produce crazy adults without any morality nor any respect for life.

No.30 various opinions 投稿者:林 投稿日:2019年05月30日 (木) 23時52分 |
Regarding this, there are a variety of opinions post online.
One of them is:
If you want to die, go ahead.
But you never have a right to take any life with you!
This kind of opinion is not good.
However, I understand many people have the same feelings as this, if they do not say or write in public.

No.43 That is a difficult issue. 投稿者:ボディーミルク 投稿日:2019年06月03日 (月) 00時18分 |
I saw this problem being discussed on TV.
Regarding the opininons,
1. You may well think "if you want to die, go alone"
2. It is wrong to think like that.
we cannnot say which is correct, I also understand many people think like No1.

It's getting hotter during the day, but is still cool in the morning and the evening. Plus, there're not many mosquitos and flies around yet.
I love strolling in my gardens, picking strawberries, peas, different kinds of leafy vegetables that make great salad.
If you ask someone out on one May afternoon and say "Nice breeze, isn't it",
that means "I love you".
It's a May magic.

Do you have many mosquitos in your area in summer?To be honest, I hate them. If there is a sign of one hiding somewhere in my room, I keep fighting until I am sure it has died. Nowadays there are nice mosquito-killing sprays. Only one push and they will fall down soon. They are wonderful inventions for me.

Thank you for your comment🙃
We have many mosquitos like any other place in Japan, and so many "gnats"(Buyo or Buto in Japanese), that are super annoying and irritating.
They're tiny, fly-looking insect, and fly so fast in formation, bite you on the eyelids, the lips…then it'll swell up badly.
But one and the only good thing about gnats is that they can only live in clean habitats.

One of the highest compliments I ever had.

But I might as well use the line by the time I die…
The magic can happen if you do something with a pure and sincere heart.

I know what you mean. A variety of things related with ourselves are set or connected without our knowing it. We sometimes even suspect that they (especially the company known for G) are intentionally making the service very complicated.

No.10 New era always comes with the huge drop of stock prices. 投稿者:ボディーミルク 投稿日:2019年05月14日 (火) 02時45分 [ 返信] -- Impressed a lot! : (6) |
Do economists remember how most of them predicted on the stock market after the new era started? "Japan will see steady growth for a certain period of time supported by the strong US economy." "Chinese economy was not so bad as estimated." Wrong Wrong Wrong!!!
Japanese investers have not been able to enjoy, not even only one day, NIKKEI rising. What they have seen this month is 6 consecutive days' fall.
Now economists or experts on economy, how would you explain this situation in turn??

One day late in 2018, I was talking with my femail friends at a cafe in Suidobashi about a variety of topics, and when the topic came to be on fashion, one of the ladies said, "..., and they put everything under their pants or skirts..."
I had not noticed the change. Until recently, and for a long time, people had worn shirts or sweats with their lowerparts outside the bottoms when they dressed informally.
Trends had completely changed while i didn't know it.
Young girls pushed everything under their skirts and pants, even sweaters!!
Amazing! But I still have a question..Is that cool?

Even in the midst of some prospect of the world growth rate becoming dull because of BREXIT and Chinese economy,etc., the market doesn't seem to be so pessimistic about the future. The US is enjoying almost every day the rise of NY DOW, which has become about 10 times as high as that in the late 1980s. NIKKEI is also growing in a steady manner and it may reach the highest point of the last 20 years after the Bubble disappeared.
We should be happy and welcome this situation.
But.........

But....not all investers are trying to get profit by buying stocks first and then selling. Among them are doing in the opposite direction, Selling first and then Buying back, that is, you can get profit if stocks' prices go down. I am the very invester that is doing this.
