Goal: Be a highbrow
I’d like to be a highbrow. I need more vocabulary then my essay or report will look better due to abundant vocabulary. If I learn more vocabulary then I can read more books like fictions or novels or newspaper in English. In future, I want to spend time in a foreign country because I want to have tattoos and get a beautiful wife and adorable kids so. I think I can be a highbrow if I learn thousands of vocabularies so in this term, my goal is to be a highbrow.
I chose women’s right as a topic for this time, and three main points are ①existing condition(mainly at home) ②at office and suffrage ③equality(position reverse). Nowadays, I think it’s predominance of women over men. Women are selfish and most of them want their husbands to earn a lot of money and at the same time women want their husbands to do houseworks and child care. Also men think that house work is women’s job and most of them don’t cooperate. Men and women need to understand reciprocally but actually, they can’t. This time I’m out of curiosity about equality so I chose “women’s right” as a topic of my essay.
I want to improve the quality of the outside notebook. Because it was a beginning by the first essay, I did my best and researched it a lot and wrote it. But in the second essay, information has been partial wuthout being researched too much. So I want to make much of quality in this semester.
I chose sports, and three main points are disabled sports, sports for poor people, and possibility of sports.I experienced many sports. Therefore the sports are not only fun and noticed that I could learn various things. It was different in each person to have learned. I want to research the power that sports gave people, and kow following; what are the sports for people?
I would like to practice how to develop the story of my essay and how to summarize it like conclusion. In previous semester, I was not sure about them so it was hard to write an essay. I should increase my English vocabulary to write better one so I’ll try to memorize many words and read many books in English.
By the way, Australia is know as one of multiracial nations. Many people moved there from other various countries. I went there to study abroad 2years ago and I made many friends who had not been born in Australia. I think people who live in Australia know how important to put themselves in someone else’s shoes. In other way, I think people can be discrimed by their race. I would like to look it up. That’s why I chose “race”.
In this semester, I want to improve the ability of expressing my opinions clearly. I think construction is important to do that. So, I will write outlines thoroughly. And I want to build my vocabulary in this semester. I want to learn about collocations and be able to write clear essay.
I chose sports as my topic. 3 main points are the problems of modern Olympic Games, the Paralympic and lifelong sports .
Originally, l like playing and watching sports and l’m interested in Olympic. Also , l’m looking forward to Tokyo Olympic and Paralympic. In addition, I want to work as a volunteer in Tokyo Olympic. However, I don’t know about them very much. So I decided to research them. And I chose lifelong sports as a main point because I have heard that playing sports contribute to health in all generations.
I want to make the next essay better. To do this, I have to write an easy to read essay to readers. I want to write clear conclusions on each of some main topics. In addition, I should start to write with a clear signal for each of my sub topics. It is important to give some concrete examples. Therefore, I will search for my topic in more detail.
I chose education. My three main points are children’s right, poor children must work for their family and leading to the disparity of knowledge among nations. For us living in Japan we feel like having education is a matter of course. However, in my previous essay, I learned that there are many children who can not receive education. Many of them live in developing countries. So, I wandered if there was anything I could do to live in developed countries. Therefore, I want search for educatoin.
Now I have four English class, so I try to do my homework and go to school. At first grade, I did not study hard. As a result, I have very hard time now. Next year I will not have hard time of waste. I want to get not waste but fulfilling time, so I try to do my homework and go to school.
Then I am going to write about “labour”, particular “child labour”. Also, I am going to focus on three points, cause, illegal and ACE. I often hear bad news about labor. Labor has a lot of types, such as white labor and black labor. However, media does not focus on child labor very much, so I did not know that younger children than me work in a bad environment. Therefore, I want to know current circumstances of child labor, so I will write about child labor.
My 1st essay was good about the number of letters and characters. But, the lacking of information about my topic I think. And I didn’t use some graph, for example a pie chart , a band chart, a line graph and so on. I have to quote from some book and specific thesis. If I used them, my essay would be more clearly , simply and deeply.
I chose “tourism” for my topic. Three main points are Japan,France and culture. That’s because Japan is my country, France is the top of tourist place. So I’ll compare with some point of view and want to find differences between Japan and France.And I think tourism has something to do with culture. Especially I’ll focus on Japanese culture.
What I want to improve in 2nd semester:
In 2nd semester, these are two things I want to improve. First is conclusion part. In last essay, I improved conclusion than first essay. But I think it is still bit weak. So, in 2nd semester essay, I want to write more well-organized conclusion including my opinion and idea. Second is style of writing. In last essay, I used same words and phrases over and over. As a result, hole sentence was bit dull. In 2nd semester, I want to use various expressions and phrases to make it more interesting to read.
Topic: Conflicts & Wars
3 main points:①the Korean war ②Conflicts in Africa ③Conflicts in Africa
The reason why I chose this topic:
There are two reasons why I chose this topic. First, there are still many problems caused from after effect of past war. For example, these days Korean Peninsula problems are caused by the Korean war occurred more than 50 years ago. I think study about past war will be effective to understand these days issues. So, I chose this topic. Second, there are still many countries suffer from conflict. Citizens who live there are also having difficulty. But, these days media don’t tell about these problems. So, I decided to research more about it.
3 main points:①the Korean war ②Conflicts in Africa ③Conflicts in middle east
In this semester, I want to improve my compare skill. If I can get this skill, I can express clearly my opinion. And l get many knowledges to get this skill. I studied conflict and peace in the summer vacation. So I chose conflict,war and peace. Three main points is South Sudan’s conflict, food crisis, making a peace.
I would like to improve written expression. In first semester, I felt my expression was poor. I had hard time not to use same word. Especially, I don`t know about conjunction. So I became acutely aware of not having enough vocabulary. If I increase my vocabulary, I will improve my English ability and I can speak English fluently. In this term, I will consult a dictionary whenever there are words I don`t know. Then my expression will get better.
This time, I chose globalization as my topic. My main three points are global company effect, gap problem and hygiene problem. Now, we are living in increasingly globalized world. We can`t live without relationship to other countries. We use many thigs which was made in foreign countries. We can know many things easily. However I think we should know more about its situation to keep up with the times. Then we can become people who get intimate knowledges about world. This is the reason why I chose this topic.
I’d like to brush up my imagination in the second semester. I think it is important to develop the topic or theme. It makes me easier to write an essay. In the first semester,I researched many things on the internet and found out many things but that’s it. I couldn’t think what will happen from the problems. So I’ll improve my imagination.
I chose Globalization as a topic. Three points are ① hegemony ② immigration problems ③ united nation
Globalization change many kind of things. It’s not only good things but also bad things. I think globalization is key word because globalization causes immigration problems as a result it affect political things like election of United States. Therefore I chose Globalization for the essay.
I must choose a topic from the beginning from 2nd semester, so I want to write essays deeper with topics that would be attractive. I want to improve my essay skill too. I will try some ways of expression even everything means the same, because I tend to write similar expressions that I used to do. There were also good points in writing, so I want to keep making an effort.
This time, I chose “Education” as a topic. I heard about current education over the world, especially immigrants don’t accept enough education as we have accepted. I want to research more about that. My three main points are “immigrants” and “income”, “language”. I guess they relative each other, so I will try to write and understand the problem.
For next essay, I would like to write my essay clearly because I couldn’t make my essay with a very good construction in the last time. For this, I’ll try to summarize each paragraph using clear signals and key words. In addition to this, I will collect information from various resources and make a strict selection. Then, I wish that my essay will be easy to understand.
I chose “tourism” as my topic. Because l like traveling and going sightseeing. So I think l want to know about tourist industry. Today, the number of international tourists is increasing. With this in mind, I will research on the problems and influence of local communities and environment.
My three main points are
1.tourism industry of Japan
2.positive and negative impacts of tourism
3.eco-tourism
I try to introduce the problems of tourism.
After I finished second essay, I had to recognize my lack of vocabulary. Because of this, I feel something short of what I wanted to express. So I’d increase the stock of vocabulary by reading as many books as available in English.
I chose People with Disabilities as a topic. The reason is that I was deeply shocked when the massive murder case happened at the facility for people with disabilities in Sagamihara in 2016. When the criminal said people with disabilities only brought unhappiness to the society, the bereaveds who lost their children say their children were precious to them in spite of their children ‘a disabilities. I was so moved by the news that I want to know about the circumstances of people with disabilities.
And three main points are this case, special Olympics and different attitude to people with disabilities.
I think it’s a good occasion for me to get concerned with this matter more seriously.
I want to write more clear content 2nd semester. Because I couldn’t write clear. Too use difficult words. I’ll change difficult words to easy words, and easy to understand an explanation. I want write clear sentence for everyone can understand soon. In addition, I want find enough resources. 1semester is lack of resources.
My topic is “women’s rights”. 3 main points are girls, working women and no voting rights. The reason I chose this topic is that, I feel that women and men are not equal every day. It’s a good meaning or a bad meaning. I think that there are points that women are getting because they are unfair. Generally, I wanted to know what kind of position a woman is from the world view.
In the first semester, I could get a researching skill. I researched a lot of site and I could pick up the best information for me to write essay. But it was very difficult to rewrite passages in the site into my own words. My grammar is not good but I’ll do my best in this semester.
I chose “education” as a topic in this semester. I learned there are a lot of people who can’t go to school and must work in the first semester. So in this time, I want to focus on education problem. Especially,I would like to learn ①the current situation about world of education ②children’s right③solution of this issue. I don’t know about world’s education problem because Japan is far from this. So through this class, I want to understand well.
I’m so sorry about forgetting to write 3main points of my essay in previous reply. They are multiracial nations,discrimination and religion.
I want to learn more vocabulary in this semester. I spent many time to study grammar when I was a high school student, now I want to improve my vocabulary skill and say things in many different ways. Then I want to study for the TOEIC in the next year.
Three main points
1.India
2.History
3.International Organization
When I was a high school student, I saw a document about the mowen’s rights in India. An Indian lady was burned by her husband’s family members because she didn’t give them enough money. I was really shocked when that time, that made me want to know more deeply about the mowen’s rights in each country.
