Topic: Many teachers assign
homework to students every day. Do you think that daily homework is
necessary for students? Use specific reasons and details to support
your answer.
=====
I think that daily homework is necessary for students. Since one years ago, I have been learning English through Skype and I do homework almost everyday. Then, I know that it really improves my English skills. Based on my experiences, I guess homework is really important for students.
First is regarding review. Actually, most of the people can't memorize what they have learned only once so I believe that homework is really important to memorize them. Of course, I review what I learn and it's really important part of learning English for me.
Second is regarding custom. About one years ago, I used to learn business skill, coaching and I got many homework. Through this classes, I got the custom of learning by myself and even now I study English spontaneously.
Third is regarding thinking by myself. Actually, through doing my homework, I can get great opportunity of thinking, solving problems by myself. I believe that thinking and solving problems by myself is one of the most important skills to live and I think doing homework brought me the excellent skill.
Through doing homework by myself, I can make great relationship with my English teachers because they always acknowledge my efforts. Then, I determined to keep doing homework and master English with my great English teachers.

I prefer to travel with a companion. When I was a university student, I went on a trip with my friends and I usually travel by myself. Based on my experience, Traveling with a friend is happier than traveling by myself.
First is regarding sharing good things. When I went to Asian countries with my friends, I had many great experiences and I felt really happy about sharing them with my friends. That experience really broadened my outlook and gave us good relationship.
Second is regarding helping each other. When I went to India, I suffered from food poisoning and I had really tough time. If I visited India with my friend, he/she would help me and I could recover soon.
Of course, traveling by myself has some benefits. When I travel alone, I don't need to care someone's opinion and I enjoy freedom. Even though, traveling with a companion is more attractive for me.
These reasons I mentioned above, traveling with a companion is better than traveling by myself. At next trip, I'm going to ask some friends to come with me and I believe that we could have great memories.

Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.
=====
I agree with this opinion. About two years ago, I have been studying English seriously and I can get many benefits thanks to the new technologies such as Skype and Podcasting. Based on my experience, I believe that students can learn more information and learn it more quickly.
First is regarding the Skype. Actually, I get English conversation lessons almost everyday thanks to the new communication software called Skype and it's really helpful for me to improve my English skills. Of course, I don't need to go to English conversation schools so I can save money and time so I can get more lessons.
Second is regarding the Podcasting. Have you ever heard the Podcasting system? The Podcasting is a kind of Internet radio system and I can install latest Podcast programs into my iPhone or I-pod through this system. So I can get many English information and it really improve my English skills. If I can't use this system, I should buy more English CD to study it.
Of course, attending school is a best way of learning something but it's a little difficult for busy people or who doesn't live near the school. And learning something with the new technology such as the Internet could save more money and time.
In Japan, the number of PC users is getting bigger and more than half of the people have their own PC. So I believe that learning with the new technology is more common and many people use it to improve their life.

I think that automobiles have changed people's lives a lot and it was biggest changes among them. Actually, I use a car almost everyday for commute and I usually drive a car at work. Based on my experience, I guess the advancement of car was biggest impact among them.
First is regarding contribution. Thanks to the cars and tracks, we can sent heavy things easily and it expedited the speed of industrialization in my country. Of course, our company sent and get many products through the contribution of them.
Second is regarding commute. Actually, there are many people who commute by car in my town and I guess that long work trip by cars changed our way of working. If we can't use cars for commute, we would not be able to come together at office of factory to work efficiently.
Of course, airplanes changed our lifestyle a lot. But compared to cars, the impact is not bigger because using car is more common for us than using airplane.
Actually, we should change the way of using cars because we have better prevent the global warming. Even though, cars can be most useful vehicle for us and the importance of them would be bigger owing to eco-friendly cars.

Write your opinion about the topic below.
Topic: Businesses should hire
employees for their entire lives. Do you agree or disagree? Use
specific reasons and examples to support your answer.
=====
I don't agree with this opinion. I always know about bad economy through media because Japan is in recession. Through the knowledge I get, I think it's really difficult that business can hire employees for their entire lives. And here are some special reasons for that.
First is regarding products' life span. Owing to the advancement of new technology, products' life span is getting shorter. For example, In America, one of the most biggest CD stores called Tower Record went bankrupt even many people loved buying CD at the stores about 10 years go. I think it's the example of the difficulty of employment for life.
Second is regarding moral of employees. Actually, employment for life was common in Japan about 15 years ago and I guess the situation would decrease employees' moral and competitive power in the international markets. So I think employment for life could reduce Japanese productivity.
Of course, you would think that stable condition of employees in one company for long is really helpful to stabilize employees' mind but I think the careers and abilities that employees can get through career changes would also stabilize their mind.
Through this recession, many people start to think their career plan to get stable life style and I guess that the number of career changes would increase after this strict situation. And I think it would improve Japanese competitive power in the international markets.

I prefer the living of moving to search of another place. When I was a university student, I was a back-packer so I stayed many place. And I used to live in Tokyo for more than 4 years. Based on my experience, I don't support the living of staying in one place forever. Here are some specific reasons for that.
First is regarding getting knowledge. I think that staying another place is one of the best ways to get many kinds of knowledge such as language, culture, cooking meals and so on. And I believe that it would broaden my outlook.
Second is regarding meeting people. If you move another place, you would meet many people. And it would be your great treasure of your life. Actually, I met many people when I live another place. And those memories always encourage me a lot.
Of course, you would think that moving is a pain but I think you can enjoy it. For me, preparation for moving such as seeking room, choosing furniture for new room are really fun.
Thanks to the Internet, many people can work in their home instead of going their companies' offices. So we should enjoy living another place to broaden our out look and it would bring many valuable things.

Write your opinion about the topic below.
Topic: It has recently been

support or oppose this plan? Why? Use specific reasons and details in
your answer.
=====
I oppose this plan. When I was a high school student, I used to go the high school in my community so I know the cons of this plan. There are some specific reasons for that.
First is regarding easiness of access. My community is in rural area and only we have one local station. Addition to that, train doesn't come frequent. So I think that new school would not be attractive for students.
Second is regarding falling population. In Japan, birth ratio is not enough high and the population is getting smaller. Of course, the number of students is decreasing in my hometown too. So I guess that school would not be able to get enough students.
Of course, I am really interested in how teachers teach students in that school and I want to listen to that system of education. But in this situation, that school would not be able to maintain even though the system of education is good.
The reasons I mentioned above, I don't agree with the opinion. In my opinion, we should teach important things to young people through local activities such as volunteer rather than education at the new high school. And this kind of activities would create better relationship in my community.

Of course, media should provide attractive things to people to sell but media should play a role of enlightening people to create better society.

So we should find good information source to know important things rather than getting famous people gossips. And it would be really helpful to create better society.

I support this plan. Actually, some movie theaters went bankrupt about 3 years ago in our hometown and I have been watching the effect of that. Based on my experience, I think that building a new movie theater is really helpful for our hometown.

Topic: It has recently been
announced that a large shopping center may be built in your
neighborhood. Do you support or oppose this plan? Why? Use specific
reasons and details to support your answer.
=====
I don't support this plan. In our hometown, many stores were on the state of bankruptcy, even most of the stores were near local train station. That's the reason why a large shopping center was built and it really attract customers. Actually, I have been watching that situation for long so I'm oppose to building a large shopping center. And here are some specific reasons for that.
First is regarding special knowledge of shop staff. Most of small stores in our hometown continue more than decades so their staff's knowledge about their goods is excellent. Of course, a large shopping center's staff would learn about their goods but their knowledge would not be able to surpass small shop staff's knowledge.
Second is regarding color of local town. In Japan, some cities could become really attractive by developing their personality and I think that developing the originality of our hometown would be really helpful to attract many people. And I think that building a large store would disrupt it.
Of course, usually big shopping centers offer goods at reasonable prices but compared to local small stores, their supports for their goods are not enough after customers buy.
Not only large shopping centers but also internet shopping websites such as Amazon attract many customers and the sales of local stores are depressed. So we should find good ways to become local stores more attractive.

People's longevity is getting longer thanks to the advancement of new technology and hygiene and so on since decades ago. Actually, I used to live with my grandmother and grandfather so I know the reasons for that. Here are some specific reasons of living longer.
First is regarding the advancement of medical technology. My grandfather had a bad health problem about his lung but his disease was really improved when he started to get new treatment. If he couldn't get this treatment, he couldn't live longer.
Second is regarding healthy foods. In Japan, there are many healthy foods to support your health. My grandmother drunk medicated liquor called Youmeishu and it was really helpful for her to maintain her healthy. I think this kinds of food is one factor of lengthen living.
Third is regarding hygiene. My grandmother told that hygiene condition about 50 years ago was really bad and it might cause spreading infectious diseases. Actually hygiene condition was getting improved rapidly and it would prevent spreading diseases. If local government didn't improve hygiene, death rate would not be improved.
Thanks to above reasons, our longevity is getting longer and Japan people would live in aging society in the near future. We should think not only longer longevity but also how to live in that society. And I think that it would create better society.

Write your opinion about the topic below.
Topic: It is better for
children to grow up in the countryside than in a big city. Do you agree

I think that growing up in the countryside is better for children than growing up in a big city. Actually, I grew up in the countryside and I used to live in a big city when I was a university student. Based on my experience, growing up in a countryside is really helpful for children and here are some specific reasons for that.
First is regarding gratitude for eating. In countryside, you can watch agriculture field and know how hard agriculture is. When I was a child, I learned how crops grew and it gave me gratitude for eating. If children grow up near agriculture field, they would appreciate nature.
Second is regarding large space for play. Someone said that even big company such as Apple and Microsoft were just garage companies. Suitable size space for children is really helpful for their creativity. Usually, houses in rural area were larger than houses in a big city because the cost of rent is not high. In large house and yard, children can enjoy creativity plays and it improve them a lot.
Of course, you may think that living in urban area is better for children because they easily can find attractive things but I think that these things tend to be related to commercialism so it may bring children bad effect.
Now I'm singe so I don't have child. In the future, I want to live in the countryside with my family and I will teach my children about gratitude for nature.

Should governments spend more money on improving roads...
Write your opinion about the topic below.
Topic: Should governments
spend more money on improving roads and highways, or should governments
spend more money on improving public transportation (buses, trains,
subways)? Why? Use specific reasons and details to develop your essay.
=====
I think governments should spend more money on improving public transportation. When I was a university students, I went to our university by a train and now I drive a car almost everyday. So I sometimes thought about the pros and the cons of both. Then, I think improving public transportation is better than improving roads and highways.
First is regarding global warming. Public transportation such as buses and trains can bring many people at one time and it's really helpful for reducing gas emission. If many people started to use public transportation, gas emission would be reduced quickly.
Second is regarding reducing deficit of Japanese and local government. Actually, our government spend a lot of money to built redundant roads even though Japanese deficit is getting bigger. If they stopped making roads and highways, they could reduce the expenditure dramatically.
Of course, constructing roads and highways can stimulate economy but in the long term, our government should spend a lot of money to maintain them and it would harm citizen life.
In Japan, new government is reducing constructing roads and highway to spend money for parents who have a child or children and I agree with this opinion. I think now is a great chance to rethink our way of living, especially transportation. Using public transportation to cut gas emission is a gift for our children in the future.

And here are some specific reasons for that.
First is regarding teacher's knowledge. Of course, when I have a question, I usually search the answer by myself and sometimes I can't find it. If I study with a teacher, I can ask the questions and the teacher would clear my thinking. So their knowledge is very helpful for me.
Second is regarding motivation. Most of my English teachers acknowledge my efforts to master English and it always make me happy. Based on my experience, Good teachers always encourage my learning English and it keeps my motivation high.
Third is regarding challenging materials and assignments. Usually, people don't choose challenging materials and assignments to study. But If you study with a teacher, your teacher would recognize your level and gives you challenging materials and assignments and it really improve your knowledge.
Now I study English with my teacher almost everyday and it's really helpful and fun for me. I think students always should have appreciation to teachers and express it by words. It would create great relationship and makes both happy.

Write your opinion about the topic below.
Topic: It has recently been
announced that a new restaurant may be built in your neighborhood. Do
you support or oppose this plan? Why? Use specific reasons and details
to support your answer.
=====
I will support this new restaurant because I live in rural area so there are few restaurants near my house. If a new restaurant would be built in my neighborhood, it is very convenient for me. And here are some reasons for that.
First is regarding variety of food. Usually, my mother cooks meals for our family but the variety of dishes is not enough. If that new restaurant would be built near my house, our family would be able to enjoy many kinds of foods.
Second is regarding the cost of taxi. In Japan, drunk driving is illegal and fine is really expensive. So I should use a taxi after drinking party. But If drinking party would be held at that new restaurant, I could save the money of taxi.
Of course, the total cost of eating would be increased, if I use that restaurant fluently.But I would get relaxing time at the restaurant and I don't need to pay money to be relaxed in other ways.
Now we should stand big recession and sometimes it give us gloom. Paying money at restaurants or stores in my neighborhood, it would stimulate local economy and it would improve my hometown situation.

Now we should bear the consequences of recession although sometimes it makes us depressed. One way of stimulating local economy and improving my hometwon situation is by paying money at restaurants or stores in my neighborhood.
Topic: It has recently been
announced that a new restaurant may be built in your neighborhood. Do
you support or oppose this plan? Why? Use specific reasons and details
to support your answer.
=====
I will support this new restaurant because I live in rural area so there are few restaurants near my house. If a new restaurant would be built in my neighborhood, it is very convenient for me. And here are some reasons for that.
First is regarding variety of food. Usually, my mother cooks meals for our family but the variety of dishes is not enough. If that new restaurant would be built near my house, our family would be able to enjoy many kinds of foods.
Second is regarding the cost of taxi. In Japan, drunk driving is illegal and fine is really expensive. So I should use a taxi after drinking party. But If drinking party would be held at that new restaurant, I could save the money of taxi.
Of course, the total cost of eating would be increased, if I use that restaurant fluently.But I would get relaxing time at the restaurant and I don't need to pay money to be relaxed in other ways.
Now we should stand big recession and sometimes it give us gloom. Paying money at restaurants or stores in my neighborhood, it would stimulate local economy and it would improve my hometown situation.

Topic: Some people believe
that university students should be required to attend classes. Others
believe that going to classes should be optional for students. Which
point of view do you agree with? Use specific reasons and details to
explain your answer.
=====
I think that university students should not be required to attend classes. Of course, I had been attending classes when I was a university student and now I learn many things such as English conversation and communication skills through internet or telephone. Based on my experience, I think that university classes should be optional and here are some reasons for that.
First is regarding time and money. If university classes are optional and universities provide online classes, students should not go to the school and they can save time and money of transportation.
Second is regarding easiness to learning. If university students should not attend classes, many businessmen would start learning because they can study something that they want to study after work. And university would get many students.
Of course, attending classes is one of the best way of learning but thanks to advancement of new technology such as personal computer's application Skype, students can learn their major efficiently because Skype has many useful functions such as TV telephone, chat and so on.
Actually, I enjoy English conversation classes through internet almost everyday and it's really helpful for me. The new system of learning and new technology bring us many chances to study.

=====
I prefer to eat at food stand or restaurants. When I was a university students, I should prepare foods by myself. Sometimes I cooked, and others I ate out. Based on my experience, I think eating out is better for me.
First is regarding cooking skills. Actually, I'm not good at cooking and foods which I cooked are not tasty. Of course, I would be able to improve my cooking skills but it takes long time.
Second is regarding time. Eating out is very easy. I don't need to buy ingredients at super market and I don't need to clear up dishes. So I can get enough time for what I want to do.
Of course, eating out is expensive but if ingredients are spoiled in the refrigerator due to my poor cooking skills, the home-cooked foods cost would become expensive too.
In Japan, there are many busy businessmen and they don't have time to cook by themselves. For them, eating out is really useful and it bring them relaxing time.

I disagree with this opinion. Actually, I was a member of volleyball club when I was a university student and I spent a lot of time at our university library. Based on my experience, I think universities should spend more money for their university libraries. Here are some reasons for that.
First it regarding cost of books. University libraries should have many kinds of books and most of them are very expert. Compared to normal books, technical books are really expensive. In addition to that, libraries should buy new books to keep up with new technologies.
Second is regarding environment for study. Our university has big library and my friends and I spent a lot of time at there. That place was really comfortable for me and it encouraged my study. If university provide great space to their students, it keep their motivation highly and students would encourage each other at the library.
Of course, sports activities are very important for university students. But most of them think sports as hobbies and they would pay the cost of sports club because it's not expensive.
Sometimes, I go to library to study English and it's very clean and it has many kinds of books. Great library is really helpful for people live here to study and it would help creating our great society.

I prefer to live in a big town. Actually, now I live in a small hometown and I had been living in a big town when I was university students so I know the pros and cons of them.
First is regarding meeting people. About 2 years ago, I used to go to a big town every week to study English and there were many people who like studying English. And studying with them really encouraged me to learn English. If I live in a big town, I would be able to attend English classes a lot.
Second is regarding activities. In Tokyo, there are many active places and those attract many people. When I was a university student, I used to go attractive places often and it was really fun for me.
Of course, someone would think that houses in a big city are usually small because the cost for rents in urban area is really high. But I don't mind about that because I got used to live in a small house easily when I started to live in Tokyo.
These days, thanks to the advancement of new technology, the society changing speed is very rapidly. So I think that living in a big city is really helpful for me to catch up with the new time.

I agree this opinion. In Japan. most of families have more than one television and there are many funny and interesting television programs. I think it prevent having conversation among family and friends and here are some examples of them.
First is regarding family. I usually eat dinner with my parents and we watch television programs at that time. Most of the time, we don't talk and we watch the screen seriously. If there are not television, we would talk more.
Second is regarding friends. In Japan, many young people spend a lot of time to watch TV programs and I think it reduce the time to have conversations with their friends. Actually, one of my friends always enjoy TV after he finish his work.
Of course, Television programs could give us good conversational kicking-off points. But I think there are more important topics to talk around our real life and having conversations about it would broaden our outlook.
Some NPO started to spread the idea that to have non-electricity hours during the Earth Day. I think this idea is great opportunity to rethink about relationship between communication and television.

=====
If I could change one important thing about my hometown, I will start free movie theater that operated our local government. And I believe that it would activate local economy and provide new way of learning through great movies. I think it's best way and there are many reason to support my idea.
First is regarding local economy. In Japan, there are many huge store in suburb area and it really attract people so most of people don't come to shopping to my home town. If movie theater provide great movies at free, many people would come to watch and buy something near movie theater. Then, my home town would be more active than before.
Second is regarding education. There are many really life-enriching movies in the world. But we usually don't watch these movies because mass media always provide us a lot of commercial movies. And they prevent great encounter with good movies. If this theater provide life-enriching movies, my hometown's people would get great knowledge of our life.
Of course, free movie theater is really expensive but if the old movie theater that went bankrupt would be used, the cost could become lower. And I believe that our local economy activity would compensate this cost soon.
In my hometown there are many stores in bankruptcy even if near our local station. On the other hand, there are some really lively town that could change themselves to become attractive in Japan. So I believe that each town should find their best way to show their originality to attract many people.

If movie theaters provide great movies for free, many people would come to watch and buy something near the movie theaters. Then, probably my hometown would be more active than before.
Second is regarding education. There are many life-inspiring movies in the world. But we usually don't watch these movies because mass media always provide us a lot of commercial movies. Thus, they prevent great encounter with good movies. If this theater provide life-inspiring movies, my hometown's people would get great knowledge on how to live our lives.
Of course, free movie theater is really expensive
but if the old movie theater that went bankrupt about three years ago would be used, the cost
could become lower. And I believe that our local economic activity would
compensate this cost soon.
In my hometown, even stores near local train stations are in a state of bankruptcy. There are some towns which adapt to change easily and try to become more attractive and progressive. So I believe that each town should find their best way to show their originality to attract many people.

Write your opinion about the topic below.
Topic: A company has announced that it wishes to build a large factory near your community. Discuss the advantages and disadvantages of this new influence on your community. Do you support or oppose the factory? Explain your position.
=====
I support this plan. Of course, I know there are many pros and cons but I think the advantage of this plan is lager than disadvantage of that. Because my family has small factory in my community and I used to work there so I know many pros about building factory.
First is regarding local economy. the factory that planed to build would create many jobs in the future and it would stimulate local economy. Actually my family company's factory employs many people and the salary from that company support their life even though that factory is not big.
Second is about commute time. In Japan, many people spend a lot of time to go to their work place and it reduce the time that they can spend with their family. If the factory would be built in our community, the employees don't need spend a lot of time to go their work space and they could improve the relationship with their family thanks to the factory near their home.
Of course, this factory may cause pollution and damage environment. But even if the land that planned to built the factory would used for agriculture, some chemical substances that used for agriculture may cause pollution also. I think that development of new technology could prevent any contamination of that factory.
In my home town, many shops and companies went bankrupt because they were out of step with the times. I think building factory would stimulate local economy and activity of local economy would create better future.

Write your opinion about the topic below.
Topic: It has been said, “Not everything that is learned is
contained in books.” Compare and contrast knowledge gained from experience with
knowledge gained from books. In your opinion, which sources more important?
Why?
[Corrected one]
For me, knowledge gained from experience is more valuable than knowledge gained from books. Of course, I like reading books and I think it's one of the best ways of learning something. Since two years ago, I have been studying English seriously and it teaches me the importance of real experience.
First is regarding memorizing. Actually, I read many books to improve my English grammar but talking with native English speakers is the best way for me to learn English language construction. Real experience of English conversation always give me strong impression and it helps me memorize.
Second is regarding practicality. One of my native English friends said that the English in Japanese text book is too old fashioned and it's not natural. Even if the book was published just recently, the knowledge from books is not practical compared to real experience.
Of course, reading books is very efficient way of learning. Actually I can get many information by only reading books and usually the cost of books is not expensive. But I think that we should use the knowledge gained from reading books to understand it deeply and this real experience would improve my way of studying.
With reasons mentioned above, I prefer real experience. Thanks to new technology, I can get good knowledge gained from experience through the Internet. Almost everyday I talk with native English speakers by computer application called Skype so I think that I would be able to get more chance of getting the knowledge from real experience. Then I could improve my English more smoothly.

Write your opinion about the topic below.
Topic: Nowadays, food has become easier to prepare. Has this change
improved the way people live? Use specific reasons and examples to support your
answer.
=====
I don't agree with this opinion. I think making foods by ourselves bring us many happiness. When I was university student, I had been bought easy-prepared foods such as instant noodle and now I eat hand-made foods almost everyday because my mother cooks meals for my family. So I know the pros of hand-made foods and cons of instant foods.
First, hand-made foods are healthier than easy-prepared foods. Usually instant foods has many chemical substances to prevent food spoiling and taking these kind of things everyday may cause health problem. I realized that my health condition was improved when I quit eating instant food very often.
Second it regarding communication among family. In my case, home-made foods bring our family many conversations. Usually our family talk about ingredients or how to cook during eating and it improves our family relationship.
Of course, cooking by ourselves takes longer time than preparation of instant foods but the cost of easy-to-prepare foods are usually higher. So I think we don't need to work longer to earn for expensive foods by eating home-made foods.
With reasons mentioned above, I prefer home-made foods. In Japan, many people think dietary education is really important for their children. I think that showing how to cook meals teaches importance of foods and appreciation of eating to their children.

Parents are the best teachers.
Write your opinion about the topic below.
Topic: Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Parents are the best teachers. Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.
Points: Habit / Way of thinking / Education / Experience / Stability of mind / Friend
=====
I agree with this opinion because I am influenced from my parents not only habits but also the way of thinking. Regarding my friends, they look like that their parents were their first teachers. Actually I have a lot of similarity with my parents and I think there are many reasons of that.
First, parents habits easily become children's common sense. Usually children spend most of time in their house so there is no wonder that they emulate their parents' behavior and it would become their part of life. Actually, my family and I enjoy drinking beer almost everyday and have similar taste of foods.
Second is about communication. I think every children learn something through the conversation with their parents and it would create children's way of thinking. For example, my sister's attitude of mind is similar to my father's and I think a lot of communication of them would make her way of thinking.
Of course, children's friends could become big imposing teachers for them. But I guess this impact is not strong compared to their parents because the amount of communication is smaller than parents' one.
With the reasons mentioned above, parents are the best teachers for their children. Pro golf player Ryo Ishikawa who is one of the best golf players in Japan is really famous and his father teaches him on how to play golf even though his father is neither professional of playing nor professional of teaching golf. This family always teaches me the ideal relationship of family.

That way is just dividing the distance from screen by the number two and this number is suitable size of screen.
It's interesting !!!
In Japan, digital broadcast is going to start after a few months so I should memorize it :)

Reasons of learning at univesity
Write your opinion about the topic below.
Topic: People attend college or university for many different reasons (for example, new experiences, career preparation, increased knowledge). Why do you think people attend college or university? Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.
Points: new experiences / career preparation / increased knowledge / expertise / intellectual curiosity
=====
About ten years ago, I have been studying management in university. At the time, I told with my friends about the reasons of learning our major and I knew that each people had each reason. Actually it was good opportunity for me to rethink how I would study and work in the future.
Of course, most of them had been studying for their job hunting. Getting special knowledge and skills at university would be really helpful for their work in the future. In Japan, many companies need someone who study at university and graduation of university is one of the requirements of getting good job.
Some of my friends learned their major to increase their knowledge of what they wanted to study. They really enjoyed learning and school life but most of them work for the companies don't related their majors. In my opinion, universities should provide some special classes to help students to connect what they want to learn and their job in the future.
About me, I should took over my family company at that time so I took management as my major. For working my family company, I should become a expertise of management. Thus I could keep motivation highly at university.
Above reasons, I think there were many reasons to study majors at university and each person had each reason. So I want to suggest that university should provide some orientation for students to clarify their reasons of learning their majors. I guess that class would keep students motivation highly and create better future.

Southern island called Ko Tao and whale shark
Southern island called Ko Tao and whale shark
I was really interested in scuba diving but it is a little expensive for me in Japan. So I learned how to scuba in Thailand because it is very reasonable!!
Southern island called Ko Tao is really famous for great diving spots and I really enjoy watching so many fishes.
At first, I planed that I would get only license called Open Water License but I changed my mind. Yes, I got advanced license, too.
When I was learning how to take pictures under the water to get this license, fortunately I could meet whale shark !!
I could swim with whale shark about 5 minutes and it was impressive experience for me!!
Thanks to this excellent encounter, I really like scuba diving now !!
Yes, I will go many places to encounter many kinds of fishes :)

Thai massage general course in Bangkok
Thai massage general course in Bangkok
One of the main purpose of this travel was learning Thai traditional massage in English to get certification. So I attended Thai Massage General Course and I studied massage about 30 hours in 5days.
General Thai Massage Course For 30 Hours
(I'm sorry... shake camera.)
Of course, it's first time for me learning something in English abroad so I felt a little nervous...
But even though I couldn't understand what teachers and friends said fully, I could enjoy this course and cross-cultural communication a lot !!
Through this course, I leaned many things not only Thai massage....
First, there are many English in the world. When I told one of my friends who is Singaporean, I couldn't understand what he said....orz So I really felt that I should talk many people to improve my English communication skills.
Second, learning something in English is really fun !!! Not only increase knowledge of what I want to learn but also I could improve my English and communication skills at same times !!
If I didn't meet this website called Smart.fm, I could not attend English course so I really think that learning English and this website are changing my life...
Someday I want to go back to Thailand to go out with my friends and teachers !!!
To be continued....
