• Can only the strong live in the society?

  英検練習と言うよりも完全に作文化している気がする。２８２語。まあ、書く練習が大切かと。　Nowadays the tendency of polarization is getting wider. Now people teach students that, the socially or in the group, weak people should not stand up their identity as those who are stronger. The fault that they cannot result in the good grade is being their fault―it is because of their lack of effort. It can be one direct primary reason, but is it absurd that educator determine the failure is due to the receiver of the study? 　In the society, so-called-winner disdains the so-called-loser that they have feet on clay to some extent. The ‘winner’ is ‘righter’ and more ‘authorized’ than ‘loser’. But the sense of ‘win’ is to be determined in a very narrow sense of virtue and should not be determine the whole existence of such people. Nevertheless, many people are absorbed in the atmosphere with segregation and discrimination without noticing, so that they make people rank as the group of apes. 　Even though many people indicate that people’s value is immeasurable and the point of view is so diverse, they tend to acknowledge tacit rule of ‘ape-deciding-ranking’. Not only have students such an unreasonable ranking system called ‘school caste’ but also does teachers. In schools where they have a multiple relationship, they should understand each other to make their place to live publicly, and to cultivate their humanity and skills mutually. Though some places have such slogan, the actuality is the other way round. 　In that environment, all things that we can do is only complying with the routine order or resetting the relationship and take our skills advantage newly. When that sense is prevalent in the whole place, it may be almost impossible to come right.

• Who enforces the newcomer?

  あんまり精神衛生良くないっぽい。２８９語。Today a strange thing happened; in the meeting, one woman appealed the opposite for the suggestion despite that she is among the member of the suggesting side. That was an incredible fact; I strongly remember that one student in the dormitory opposed the idea of sports festival though he was the member of the committees, which made many other students angry. She is often criticized that she is conceit and lack of sense of gratitude of others, and no sense of cooperate with others. Even some say she is such an arrogant person to precede routine works.In this circumstance, who can make her better? I do not seem to be eligible because they do not trust me enough. Others do not seem to have such an idea. One says that is not good, for the whole department. I may feel some jealousy at her because she has been assigned where I have long wanted. I am not and will not be estimated and evaluated actually and maybe disdained at the distorted senses. Then what I can do now may be the indirect way: I show some straggle with other colleagues and make her notice what she should be and do. In current my situation, such a plot may be meaningless. I may seek other place where I can take myself advantage. The truth that I received unjustly should be remunerated and retaliated tangibly. Even though I do not invoke the skill for this, they, including she, will face the music the result they shall cause. No matter how much I feel uncomfortable at her inappropriate manner at the daily routine, I do not have the opportunity to set her right. Only I pray for the remuneration to unjust.

• A mother who make her son learn English at the age of 3 months

  英作文練習。２７６語。こんな新聞記事があったので。かなり教科書英語的な書き方。　One news paper article came to my attention, said “the mother takes her 3-month-old son to the English lesson.” She mentioned that she had not received her requiring English class to be able to speak in her secondary school. In fact, they are guaranteed only 3 or 4 hours a week, and included grammatical instruction indeed. In this circumstance, it is almost impossible for people to acquire the ability to speak it, without any extra effort outside of classes. Then, it is not the wrong idea that he or she takes his or her child to the English lesson to let them possible to speak or have the motivation for English. However, it is totally nonsense to make the child to participate without learning the society rule in the group or the essential sense to live. 　The tone of the article was also pessimistic; the native teacher read some material to them and the children are only listening what the teacher tells. This situation sounds like that the children are deprived of the any chance to learn anything but the listening English. But the mother does not notice the fact the irony. 　I of course do not intend to let my children go to such English lessons if they do not want to. The image such parents are depicting is only illusion and not based on the actual fact people acquire the foreign language. The language learning requires us to keep practicing or studying patiently and to have good motivation to feel fun. Native teachers are not perfect fit for learners to learn, and lesson institutions are not always suitable for them to reach a goal.

• Why do I instruct English?

  何日かぶりに。２７８語。TOEFLならこのくらい？　I do not want to state the word Educate or Teach, rather to instruct, because I am not a full-fledged person who can treat the English education wholly currently. When I become much more matured in the competence as well as the decent notion of English, I may do or be able to express the phrase, I do teach English to the learners. 　Now the current school year has almost passed and the new school year comes before long. The flesh students are named as Intermediate-Advanced course, regardless the fact that they do not have enough enlightenment to keep up with the level we had previously been seeking to the course. The level is diverse; some of them may have very high motivation and hope to enter the English major, while others do not have such a motivation to acquire the competence. It is almost impossible to make them obtain the enlightenment equally. Moreover, there is definitely the risk of the lesson being intruded such an inappropriate behavior.　Then I should require them the reason why they should study English. The primary reason I am feeling now is to extend my width of viewpoint of thinking. I have some kind of specialty of vocabulary so that I can observe the diversity from the difference of words. Also, knowing the difference gives us some tips for accepting others and ourselves. Of course the possibility of working or future will be absolutely expanded. 　The tone of insisting that I always seeking these motivations may influence the learners to study further. My tenure of improving the competence will give me more decent notion. I hope my study will fructify some day.

• Is my inclination that I tend to prior the time for myself to the extra work sin?

  何とか続いている英作文演習。なんかあったらがらがらと崩れていきそうで怖い。２４１語。スピーディーに、客観的に・・・難しい。　Now I am not expected to devote myself into the exam-specialized project, so that I would like to spend the spare time for myself. Two years ago, I made my best effort to do the work, and I would have thought it was not good because I did almost nothing for improve the work. But now, feeling that I will not be assigned any important part, I should do my best for myself to find the new place to live more comfortably. 　Now I am studying English. It is not only for me but also for enforcing the performance of lessons. So when the primary aim for effort will not be fructified, it is not in vain because I can apply it for my current work. 　There may be two different ways to fertilize the work; directly and indirectly. Many people value the direct and vivid results better than indirect ones. It is not bad, rather natural reaction. In my case, nobody predicts that, so either of two cannot be bashed and the sudden performance may surprise others dramatically. 　The situation that I can complete the assigned work shorter hours is absolutely better than spending too much time. Then, the spare time is more precious than anything else; I can take it advantage for both individual and whole organization.　Whenever I fall depressed by segregation-like ill-treatment, I would like to remember this and keep positive to precede further acquisition to me.

• What am I being expected and how should I spend one year?

  英作文練習。どこまでつづけられることやら。２３２語。こんなとこ。　New school year will start before long. For the workplace, the new project to let newcomers acquire the knowledge and enlightenment is strongly required. Then some of the English department will be assigned the special-advanced course, thought I seem to be out of sight.　The affair not having determined completely, I cannot understand what I am treated and how I am expected fully. But I will assuredly be in charge of niche courses, which is not important for whole workplace’s reputation and influence. 　How should I take this situation? In that sense, I will never be regarded as important one for instructing English. The cons are the fact that I will be deprived the opportunity to perform my skill that I have been brushing up for a long time. The pros are undoubtedly, I can secure the time to cultivate myself in order to seize the better opportunity that definitely matches me. 　Though I should stand against the cold glance by others by not assigned such a decent position, I will be able to make them understand how much I can perform the skill and how should I have been treated at the end. 　The current situation that I forfeit the opportunity to instruct the advanced course, by practicing my whole competence, is insulting and incredibly waste of saved-up skill objectively. Nobody notices that and finally recognizes, which make me extremely ridicule.

• Does the skill help us?

  英作文練習。もうちっと一般論を効果的に入れられればいいのだが・・・267語。こんなもん。　Today we had a meeting, which seemed to take us longer hours. In fact, the meeting itself lasted only 30 minutes, though, I was exempted because I was asked to complete the grading report sheets for graduating 3rd-year students. Actual time which took me was only one hour. Then I felt that such an expertise helps me to be specially treated some extent. 　The way which we cultivate skills can be divided two categories roughly. One is to learn them from the simulating practice or reading books. The other is to learn by doing them. It is not possible to tell which way to acquire is better, but the important thing is that we have the motivation to acquire the skills. 　Some people complain that they should not get such skills because they are easily made to do more assignment than they expected. Actually such people are desired to work to help those who do not have enough skill to complete their work efficiently. But I do not think it is a drawback because of having skills. Rather, we can save the time that we originally expected. Then we can obtain the free time and do what we want to. 　In my case, having sense that I want to monopolize the reputation to be able to do it, I can obtain the skills and apply them for many routine work, which satisfies me so much. Therefore, ideally any of us should brush any skills up by doing or helping work, but my workplace may be doing well in harmony with those who are reluctant to devote themselves.

• Should the rule of an organization be strictly kept?

  英作文練習。２９５語。もっとスピーディーに書けるようになりたい。　Today there was a big meeting, which took us more than 2 or 3 hours. Fortunately I was in charge of day duty, so that I was exempted to attend the whole hours of the meeting. At that moment when I arrived at the staff room, some students were waiting for me, in order to obtain the authority to use the computer room. Though being the custodian of the room, I could not give the permission to them because of the day duty today. I felt some pangs of conscience by refusing to do that. But should I depress myself down at this fact?　In the list of the responsibility of the organization, I do not have the responsibility for the student council. Also, I should not make the exception because such opportunities may make us be perplexed of the routine of whole school. Moreover, I was not asked to do it by the advisor of the council. The exemption without right procedure can cause the turbulence and should not be done easily. 　I am sometimes wondering why no teachers who are in charge of the advisor supervise or stay together with them, despite the fact that there are many of five. Actually it is the correspondence to the students while they are preceding the activity, and it is not a fault if I do something to them, but I do not think it is an appropriate procedure that the supervising them does not exist.　I told the students what they should do along with the right procedure. The preferable way to do now may be to tell the advisors to do more for them. Even though they are in a hurry, I should not distort the rule easily if they are in critical condition.

  久々に更新。次なるお題はこれ。語数：２３９。所要時間：風呂等不可抗力により阻まれたので不明。お題：Do you think outsourcing is good for the Japanese economy?　In my opinion, alphabetically, outsourcing is efficient for many workplaces so that it stimulates Japanese economy to be better. However, the actual situation of outsourcing is a little different. Today many outsourcing workplaces are consisted of mainly dispatch labors: many workers are being paid currently for works with special skill. In the viewpoint of companies which utilize outsourcing on some kind of work can be receive benefit by inexpensive cost of labor, but it is surely transient profit and will cause the decline in whole Japanese economy.　The reason is very simple: now the large late of outsourcing dispatch workers or part-time workers is young people and they don’t have enough opportunity to work. Their authorities are only doing almost same routine even though the clients are different. Some specialties are acquired, but the general enlightenment to live in the society may not be obtained. Then they cannot pass on their knowledge how to work as a professional who can contribute the competence to both the society and the economy.　Nevertheless, actually there are some companies where many full-time workers give the profit to the clients. Currently the cost may be higher than those where part-time workers work, though, we should see the things for a long span. Therefore, the system of outsourcing which both the labors and clients can work with developing―the increase of the standard of work is necessary and good for the Japanese economy.

  さて今日は少し遅かったので１つだけ。ローカルピーポーのパトロールって意味あんの？っていうことですね。語数：２３５。お題：Are patrols by local citizens an effective way of reducing crime?　I think it is an effective way to reduce crime in some extent, but is not contribute to it fully. 　First, the primary motivation of crime reflects social problems such as declining the guaranty of life caused by declining the opportunity of employment, and the condition of their living both in private place and in workplace. In current society, we are exposed a lot of stress in order not to digress the ordinal social category, and are very easy to drop out. In such unstable situation, people are more likely to dissipate. So the priority of reducing crime may be a improving everybody’s life comfortably.　Second, a large rate of incidents causes in urban area, where many people hardly know each other. The environment that they are not recognized who they are easily is preferable to commit crimes. Patrols can be a restraint in some level, but whether by police officer or by local people, the deterrent has a limit. 　Nevertheless, I don’t mean such patrols are meaningless. It is very good way to have a relationship and linkage of the people in the community. Given the factor of the crime, the patrols may not be enough deterrent, the attention of each people for the relationship, including reducing crime should possibly rise. Not as a direct power to stop crimes, but as a making good relationship to stop it, such patrols are precious, I believe.

  私は占いが嫌いである。しかしながら、占いは社会で重要な位置を間違いなく占めている。ということで所要時間２５分、２６７語。これはしんどかった。ネタないもん。今度のお題：Does fortunetelling have a role to play in today’s society?　I don’t like fortunetelling and I hope it doesn’t play a role in the society so much, but unfortunately I think it is a good position in the society. Generally, women tend to rely on such fortune to decide what they should do than men, but the number of men who believe in fortune is not that few; sometimes I heard they talk about such luck and unluckiness happen from unknown system that we can’t explain scientifically. 　I don’t deny that something happens accidentally. But such correspondence of the luck and the fortunetelling is merely coincidence and merely many factors are related to cause such happenings. 　Actually, sometimes I advise someone about what he or she should do like a fortunetelling, but my phrases at that time is based on the information I obtained from his or her confession, my experience and the general social sense and rules. Those who don’t have enough social experience both labor and playing will undergo their adversity by not knowing the tacit rules of the society. 　The reason that fortunetelling has a role is the vagueness of what it says. In many things that happen every day, there should be definitely some correspondence to such fortune, which enables us to believe in it more. 　Even if many people rely on the fortune, it is not a problem when they eager to improve themselves to make a better days for them. I hear many people relying on fortune tend to stop making effort and only search for the good words in fortunes broadcasted, published or told by people who don’t know them.

• 英検練習　その５

  今日も冬休みの短時間勤務のアフター１を満喫しながら英作文にいそしむ。教育問題系はやはりそんなにエネルギーは使わないが、それなりの形式にするのにはエネルギーが要る。所要時間２０分弱、語数：２５３。次なるお題：Should there be more emphasis on the science in education today?つまり「理科をもっとやれってことに賛成か？」と。　I think the knowledge of science or math is important, so that students definitely should acquire the knowledge of them in some extent. But I don’t mean the opportunity and the amount of study science should be expanded in schools. Moreover, the term science has various notions: social science, natural science and even human science. In this sense, the learning of science should be connected with many subjects, math, social studies, and even Japanese and English. 　Recently it is said that less students are interested in science, I mean, natural science here, which is a problem. Various technologies such as medical field and welfare field needs the literacy of science. In order to make our society rich and happy, the progress of technologies is indispensable. Then schools and teachers should attract students the pleasure of learning science, not merely improve the contents and times.　In secondary schools, the tendency that each subject is not linked with each other has continued for a long time except few exceptions. So the assignment is how we cooperate to create the linked fields in each subject, I mean, making connection among them. The general study assigned by The Course of Study doesn’t have enough opportunity, especially given the assignment times per week. Then we teachers should sincerely think and exchange ideas how we can teach students things attractively and comprehensively.　Repeatedly, I am affirmative for this question, but I think ‘the emphasis’ here should not stand independently, but should be improved with every subject and learning opportunity.

  何ですらすらと言葉が沸いてこないのかな。むずいわ。語数:２４９。所要時間：２５分。こんなの１分で考えられる自信なんて(以下略お題: Does Japan pay enough attention to domestic issues like the homeless?　In my opinion, Japanese government pays such attention to the problems in the surface, but doesn’t treat these issues sincerely. This is the difference of ideology so that I can’t say clearly what way is more appropriate, but Japanese authority wants to foster the rich, so that big companies or institutes can hire more employee to reduce such social problems. But in fact, like the bankruptcy of Lehman Brothers and insolvency of Subprime loan, we definitely need the financial and social aid to the poor people. 　The incident of Akihabara is frequently said that the system of employment was the one reason, though I don’t mean I justify this incident. The unsteadiness of life likely makes many people focus such misconducts, because of lack of reserves in their mind. 　The exchanging opinions throughout the Internet has also a problem. Some posted opinions are so biased and sometimes they are not indicated the truth. So people seem to pay attention to the problems at a glance, in fact they tend to tell the selfish opinion making use of anonymity. 　The trends are not good for Japan to be good society. In order to solve these problems, I want to say that Japanese government should aid for the poor prior to the rich, in both financially and socially, I mean, the participant opportunity increasing, and that many people should have a decent literacy to receive and show their ideas. Anyway the weakness of human relationship may make the problem more serious.

  所要時間２０分。何とか出来そうなトピックでもこれだ。でも１次試験のエッセイの練習にもなるのはいい。次なるお題は「人口減はヤバイよね？」２４３語。当然ながらエッセイの語(Around 200 wordsと言いながら詰めて書けば２６０語くらいまで書ける)の数も意識している。でも、やっぱりきついです。何でこんなのうかんの？信じらんないよ・・・お題：Is the declining population the biggest problem facing Japanese society?　I definitely agree with this question. Absolutely it is not convenient for us just because the density of population in each area will decline. The problem lies on the sharp declining of young people and increasing the rate of elderly people. 　Now we are facing the crisis that the population for labors is dramatically decreasing and the rate of people over 65 years old are increasing. Clearly, the total production of many things, both quantity and quality of material and service will be reduced. On the other hand, the needs for such production will increase without doubt. Then the phenomenon that the benefit from insurance and welfare is reduced, does absolutely occur. People who worked to improve the Japanese society a quarter or a half century ago get their reward reduced. 　Such tendency impose Japanese society much heavier financial burden. Tax revenue will drastically decrease so that the budget for social welfare for older people and poorer people will decrease too. And many people or politicians think the only solution for secure the enough tax is increasing the rate of consumption tax, which is definitely regressive tax to torment the people who need such welfare.　I don’t know the innovative way to solve this problem, but at least, Japan politics must focus to the people who cannot work properly more, and improve the birthrate by changing the society for youth to get married easier, in the point of both financial and social status.

But in some reasons their interests may be eliminated in the society lies on the media.First, the news reported to the public tends to be complicated and unclear, so that many busy people don’t have enough time to know them fully. Some media even broadcast the political topics or economical affair prejudicially. So people are sometimes confused by the difference between the actuality and the announcement reported. This is one problem we should think sincerely.Second, the infiltration of information seems to make us be absorbed in obtaining much information typically from Internet. The vast amount of information prevents us from understanding which idea is right or true. It requires us much energy in mind. So, to avoid being embarrassed by thinking seriously about such political or social problems, we likely to opt for easier kind of information: entertainment. But while we are enjoying sharing entertainment such as music or movies, the condition of society is getting worse and worse. We know that current participation system to the politics is not fair, thinking the high rate of wasted vote in election and the actuality that voices of weak people in society are likely to be ignored. But, I think many people can spare the time to know the reality of current politics through the newspaper, news program and can share the information and ideas. Therefore, we should make effort to have the opportunity to think about the society to change current society system or politics better.偏る:prejudicially、浸透:infiltration

• What I should do when new course of study applies in 2013

  ちょっと書いてみる。２００～２５０語なんて無理なのかな。　I do think definitely the amount of quantity of English I should use in the classes should rise. But I do not think all of the classes should be taught in English. Grammatical items, the way they should know about the translation of the sentences, and the orders and requirements to the students in daily lessens are sometimes beyond their understanding. The idea that when we improve the amount of inputs of English, students’ level will rise efficiently is totally wrong, because many students may drop out in the process of high school English lessons which are so less times in the weeks’ timetable. 　I am sometimes told by students that I should increase the explanations in Japanese because they can’t understand when the input of oral English increases. Current English textbooks prevent us to teach in natural method, which requires tacitly the translation-oriented students’ understanding. When the lessons are only focused in Grammar, it may be much easier to apply the communication based English for the lessons, because it’s easy to practice for students and make learning materials for us. 　Some high school English teachers are making effort to improve their English ability. Today the most prestigious criteria to measure the English skills of Japanese learners are inevitably TOEIC, which many teachers want to improve. The training of listening makes us get accustomed to the phrases of it and eager to use ones. And the speed of speaking is much faster than one in the model listening CD though we feel like to convey the explanation in this speed of English. Therefore the priority comes to the knowledge of students’ level of understanding English at the difficulty of vocabulary and speed. The training for us is different from understanding the students’ capacity. The problem lies on not acknowledging that applying their level should be in advance than the teachers’ actual English handling level.　Third, media and authorities point the idea of using English in the classes. However, are they ignoring the actuality so much? The tone of reporting makes people who are not familiar with the condition of schools become offensive the environment of English learning at the point of teachers’ competence simply. Entrance examination and proficiency tests are major concern of students. They want have enough preparation for it through the programs in schools. So the alternatives comparing with past should be that they increase the opportunity to learn English or change the system of exams. 　Before the theme of course of study published the other day is applied, I should learn both actual competence of myself and how to pass my experience of learning to the new learners. I should not forget the latter especially.

• 検定はモチベーションにならないだろうか？

  秋休みを利用して英検にチャレンジしてみる。要は過去問を制限時間つきで解く。メモを取らない分不利かもしれない。結果は１１３点中７４点。語彙はとれないが、長文は２６点中２１点。あれほど手の届きそうになかったと思っていた英検１級が割と射程圏内に入ったことと理解する。ある人は、英検だのTOEICだのに傾倒する英語教育は病的だという。英語教育というカテゴリを広域から眺めると正論だろう。だが、検定学習をモチベーションにして、更なる学習を進めるという気になる可能性もあるということを一つ考えたい。自分の実感として。この間、多少なりとも英語学習をやってきているが、かの人が言う英語学習成果ははっきりとは分かりづらいものである、と感じる。文章が書けるようになった、洋画が見れるようになった、というのは実感であり、客観視されない。本来はそれでも良いのだろうが、世の中がそうならない実態にある。数値で評価されるもの、級で評価されるものにこだわることがそんなに駄目なのだろうかと思う。

• 児童英会話スクールと教材と

  　最近、うちに電話が来なくなったようである。例の教材買え、という電話販売である。近所の知人さんはそれに負けたかどうかは知らないが、２歳の娘に対して５０万の投資をしたようである。　子ども用の英会話教材の相場はそのくらいするらしい。基礎英語で十分だと思うが、購入の動機は、「自分(＝親)が話せないのは習わなかったからだ」と思わせることらしい。ついナンセンスも過ぎたところで吹き出してしまった。　うちの近隣でも大手英会話スクールが子ども向けの教室を開講しているが、実際、習う側のやる気と学習頻度が追いつかなければよほどの才能保持者でない限り習得は無理だろう。何せ、週１回の習い事でできるようになるわけがない。週５にする時間や費用も通常は無い。　早期に習わせた方が後期(ここで言うのは３０、４０を過ぎたという話だが、それも怪しいところである)に習うよりも習得がしやすい(脳が柔らかい)のかもしれないが、実際のところそれに見合った予備知識や人生経験、母語能力がなければ無駄に金が流れていくとしか思えない。インターナショナルスクールへの通学など覚悟を決めた環境づくりに行けなければ、あまり幼少からやらせるのもどうかと思う。本人がやりたいのであれば別だが。
