June 30th

It's June 30th today. Six months has passed this year. I've been busy for work, so l couldn't study English much. But I could listen to English audiobooks. That was good. 

Next six months, I'll make some time for building vocabulary and continue to enjoy audiobooks.

JAL Pilot Arrested

A LAJ copilot was arrested because he drank too much and hit a police officer in Kanazawa. He and other pilot had been drinking together. He was supporst to board a JAL plane next morning, but he couldn't. He had been in a police office, so the flight was canceled. 

He mustn't drink alcohol before flight in 12 hours. He broke the regulation. It was too dangerous. Airline companies have to keep safe operation. They have to supervise pilots strictly.

EU Official Language

English is probably the most common language in the world. But the status won't last in the European Union due to Brexit. 

When the U.K. complete withdraw from EU, no country use English as the official first language in the EU. French and German will be the official language in the EU. English will become one of working languages in the union.

Great Confusion

The U.K. takes representative democracy. They has parliamentary cabinet system. Their important issues should discus in their cabinet and parliament. But they have decided to leave the European Union by referendum. Referendum? 

After the referendum, many people in the U.K. regret the result especially younger people. The majority of younger people were for stay the E.U. They said that they didn't want to decided their future by elderly people. Elderly people voted to leave the E.U. 

It's obvious it was the PM's failure. How come Mr. Cameron decided to conduct the referendum for such an important issue? He should've imagine today's result. If he could've think this result, he wouldn't conduct the voting. It was too much dangerous gamble.

Happy Twenties Birthday

My family celebrated my son's late twenties birthday today. His birthday was February 2nd, but my son was busy for work then, so we had to wait to celebrate it until today. 

We went to a sushi restaurant without conveyer belts. There we had many dishes like sashimi, boiled fish and of course sushi. We were happy together tonight.

For Eiken

I got my Eiken 1st grade exam result. I checked it on the web. My score was 1886 of 2550. I failed it. Of course I knew it. 

I think I'll take the next test. I'll learn vocabulary a little and read books and articles in English as much as I can. I declared like that again and again, but...

UK Referendum

UK voters chose to leave EU by referendum. I thought UK would stay in European Union, so I was really astonished by the result. 

About 52% people voted leaving EU. The news has shook the world including Japanese markets. Stock prices has declined by 1,200 yen for the first time in 14 years and Yen has soared to 99 yen per dollar for the first time in 2 years. 

I'm not sure how this referendum will influence our daily lives. But it's obvious that the result will change the world.
