August 31st

No one might like August 31th. When you were a child, school would start tomorrow and you had plenty of homeworkers. Probably, you had to read a novel for your book report. I was the one, of course. 

Sadly, some children don't like the day because they are bullied at school. They don't want to go to school and some of them try to suicide on the day. 

I don't want to hear those sad news tomorrow. If you see someone is bullied, be brave to save your friends from bullying. I hope every students can go to school tomorrow or at least no one waste their bright future.

300 Packs of Yakisoba

I went to my son's high school festival today. I joined students' fathers group to run Yakisoba stand. We prepared 300 dishes of yakisoba and sold all of them. 

There were many food stands in the festival like takoyaki, udon, sweets and so on. These earnings will use for the students. 

Students, their families and neighbors came to the festival and looked enjoy themselves today.

Yakisoba Fathers

I'm going to take part in a school festival at my son's high school tomorrow. I have to cook yakisoba at a food stand in the festival. The yakisoba stand is run by students' fathers group called Oyaji-no-Kai. I was asked to join the group the other day. 

It will be the first time to go to high school festival in several decades. The students might look forward to being the festival, so I promise that I'll cook delicious yakisoba tomorrow.

Gun Violence

A TV reporter and a cameraman were killed by former their coworker during live broadcasting. About 10,000 people have been killed by gun every year in America. How come they can't ban on guns in the United States? 

The number of the gun murders vary from state to state in America. In California, 866 people were killed by gun, but in Hawaii no one was killed in 2011. I'm not sure what is the difference between the two states, but I hope they can reduce gun tragedies in America.

Driving Accidents

I've watched a shocking TV news about car accident in Nara. Five 19-year-old men and women have died by a single vehicle accident. They were all middle school classmates, the news reporter said. Police said they might drive too fast and they could not drive through a curve properly. 

This kind of car accidents happen so often especially in the holiday season. I can understand how they feel happy at that time. New driving license, new car and old friends. They tend to drive fast despite their poor driving skills. 

You have to think you are carrying your friends' lives while you are driving with them. Please don't waste young lives.

Making a Constitution

In 1787, American early leaders met in Philadelphia to write a new Constitution. Some leaders wanted a strong central government and others did not. The making of American constitution needed a long time discussions. Somehow they could make a completely new constitution. I really admire their efforts to make the new constitution, but except a matter, slavery. 

In Japan, we could not make our own constitution after World War 2, and now there are some problems in it. I think we have to make a new constitution someday.

TOPIC： THE ADVANTAGES AND / OR DISADVANTAGES OF PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION

     

      Public transportation plays important role for modern society. There are some advantages and disadvantages of public transportation. 

      

      An important advantage of public transportation is that it improves traffic conditions. Public transportation reduces the number of private cars on the road, so it prevents road damages and traffic congestion. 

      On the other hand, public transportation has some problems. One of the problems is that it is less accessible than using private cars, especially in small population areas. These areas do not have convenient transportation systems. 

      In Japan, public transportation systems are believed to be safe, but once an accident happens, there will be lots of victims of the accidents, so public transportation still have both advantages and disadvantages.
