  It will be more than about two months since I came to study abroad in America. I was concerned about my mental condition before I came here, but I have preserved my mental health. Today, I will introduce how to encourage oneself when I feel down. I am careful of my mental health on a regular basis, so I hardly feel down. It is good intention, but I think that a human thinks deeply about something or thinks back on oneself more than usual when the human is the condition of being spiritless, so I would like to cherish the condition of being spiritless. Then, if I feel down, I make the time that I am alone because I need to think about that when I feel down, and also because I take everything too seriously, it is difficult to preserve my mental health. I think a hobby is very important, especially, artistic things are the most important of all things. I will continue to think of everything in the future.

I am not very well at playing soccer. So I have to practice soccer more. In listening music, I like listening to rock music. My favorite singer is ONE OK ROCK. When I listen to their song, their song give me energy. In reading book, I like reading books. Because when I read book, I relax. Usually I read autobiography. It is difficult. I want to read American book. However, I am bad reading English. So I have to studying English very well. If I have a hard time, I spent to do these things.

 Usually, I don’t feel down but sometimes I don’t feel like doing anything and I just want to lay in my bed. Especially when I practice Baton twirling, I feel down. Because Baton is team sports, so if I drop a baton, it will be collective responsibility and I feel down. I have two ways of encouraging myself. First, I think positive thinking is the best way to encourage myself. I think that I make a series of mistake and I repeat the same mistake, I can learn from mistakes. I heard what “the road to success is paved with failure.” I think so too, if I repeat the mistake and practice, I come to be able to do. Second way is to sleep. So after practice, I back to home as soon as possible and I go to bed. To sleep can relax and make everything forget for me. I always try to raise motivation!!!

When I just feel down and not motivated at all, I have three ways which encourage myself.

First way is listening to my favorite music. My favorite songs are Miwa’s song. She is a Japanese singer. She is cute and her voice is very good. I am encouraged by words of her song, so I often listen to her songs.

Second way is sleeping. I like sleeping. I can sleep everywhere. Sleeping gives me energy and I forget a disgusting thing after sleeping, so when I just feel down, I go to bed instantly.

Third way is worrying. I take a long time to think about my worry and I figure out my answer. I think it is important to hear other people’s opinion but it is not everything. I think it is more important to think about my worry than it and I have to decide myself in the end.

These are my ways which encouraged myself.  

  

Assignment#30

I think, there are many people who worried about mental anguish all over the world. I have experienced that too.

My baseball team’s coaches were very strict so I was fatigued mentally as well as physically. I was under a lot of stress. Physical tiredness can cure by stretch or massage but mental anguish can’t cure. Mental anguish is very important things. I have many ideas that how to cure about stress. First, listen to music. My favorite songs makes me good feeling. I think, Almost people likes music. Second, take a bath. It is become composed. Third, eat a lot that made by mother. I realized that eating a meal perks you up. Finally, to talk with friend is very important thing. Who do you see when you want to reduce stress? I meet my friends.

I often think craping about the past does no good because I cannot do anything about it and it’s no use fretting now. I feel tired of thinking about it. Therefore I don’t feel down long time. As long as I go to a bed, I can forget almost anything which I don’t need to remember. When I was little child, I often cried as soon as I happen something. Then I was exhausted from crying and slept. However when I got up, I forget crying. My solution of when I feel down to sleeping! It is the best solution.

When I feel hard, I often go to a karaoke in Japan. I can feel refresh after singing my favorite songs in a big voice. But, there aren’t a karaoke in America so, when I go back home, I cannot wait to sing a song. Eventually, I think music is so important for me that I cannot live without it.

     I want to live in France because French culture has good points. For example, food, art and fashion. I want to eat French food and I want to go a museum. If I live in France, I would be stimulated and I would have to study French. Language is necessary to live. If I can speak French, I can talk with not only French people but also some people from other countries, so I want to speak French and I want to live in France. However, I think that I cannot live in France forever. After all, there is no place like Japan. Since coming to America, I realize that Japan has a lot of good points. Japanese food is very good. Japan is the safest country. Japan is a convenient country with easy access to public transportation. Japan is a good country. I think that living in other country is a good experience for me but I like japan, so I want to live in Japan.

I want to live in another country for several years. I have two ideas. First, I would like to live in Bali in Indonesia. My relative lives in Bali. I have been to their house many times, their house is located in an urban area and near the sea. So I want to enjoy the sea from the house’s living room and go to the sea when I want to swim. If I live in a rural area, I can live in nature, but it is boring. If I live in downtown, I will be closer to the shops, but it is noisy and dangerous. So an urban area is the best place for me. The temperature is perfect for a place to live. So I choose Bali. Second, I would like to live in English-speaking countries. Especially America, it  is a good place, because American society highly values freedom and the area is unlimitedly vast. But I love Japan and Japan is the most comfortable for me.

Assignment #29

I don’t think I want to live another country so far. I would like to live in Japan to death. But I think a little I would like to live in America because I feel fun about life in here. If I live in America, I will feel a lot of uneasy about life. I can’t speak English enough and I can’t hear English enough so far. If I live in America, I have to learn so hard English. If I can it, I live in America but I guess I’m busy in Japan so maybe I can’t. So I think I would like to live in Japan so far. I have to study and I have part-time job in Japan. I’m busy now. I have never thought where I live in the future because I think I might live in Japan to date. So I might live in Japan.

It is really sounds great for me. After graduating university, I am going to work as an employee under her in New York. Therefore, I someday would like to live in New York.

Assignment#28

I think in our countries polite is very famous it means good. For example, usually Japanese people can be lineup whenever. Also people to do bowing to each other in various situations, for example when you cross the pedestrian crossing, you met new people, greeting in classes and so on. Even though I am Japanese people, I think Japanese people are very kind for other people. They have a heart of compassion. Also others, some habits at entering the house, you should take off your shoes, and people cede a seat in the bus or train especially the person to be priority people. I think Japanese culture such as these things is very important, so I want to cherish in the future. Also, I would like to absorb the polite in the culture of good in each country. For example, American polite culture is people say “hi” to pass each other, and American language is very casual instead of not complicated, so it is friendly.

Asignment#28

 Japanese has a lot of courtesy called “Keigo”. When we talk to people who are new people or people older than me, we use Keigo all time. Also, as we speak in front of audiences, we use Keigo all time. This is very different from America, but English has courtesy like “Could you ~?” or “Would you like ~?”, too. However, in informal, American use casual expression to talk with a new person or a person older than me. Therefore, I feel that Japanese word is so beautiful but not friendly.

 Another polite behavior is a bow which Japanese say “Ojigi”. This is used, when you want to express appreciation for someone`s action. I think this action is the most famous Japanese etiquette in the world because Japanese soccer player “Yuto Nagatomo” use Ojigi in Italy, when he get a score. Maybe, the most of European people know this act because of him. In Japan, Ojigi is very important to be polite.

Assignment#28

 Japan is a shame culture, so people who is Japanese reflect on own action every day, and also almost all of Japanese mind own manners every day. Today, I will introduce to be polite in my culture. As I said earlier, people who is Japanese respect good manners, so they have lots of polite manners and words. It is so huge that I don’t know all of the politeness, but I am one of Japanese, so I know some politeness. First, we have lots of honorifics, so we have to learn many conversational expression. It is really hard. We have to learn language of my country again before to become a member of society because almost all member of society in Japan hate a solecism. Then, we have to mind own manners, especially in public places, so we have to read the situation in Japan. Japanese people cleave to read the situation.

In conclusion, Japan is a society that values politeness and harmony very much, but I think we also lose own individuality. It is very sad. We should get own individuality on the equality.

I think Japanese culture is very good. I’m happy that I was born in japan. Because Almost Japanese is very polite. When I met someone, I will bow for their. When someone come to in my house, I will entertain for their. If I was asked someone about road in the town, I will answer seriously. I think Japanese has such as characters. Japanese use honorific word. It is difficult. However, I think people have to use honorific word. However, I thought Americans are very polite when I came to America. I had an image of Americans as scary and strong mind. Most important things to respect for someone. I feel almost Japanese respect older than me. For example, to give up a seat for an elderly person, to bring their bags and to help them. I was taught to respect older than me when I was in child. I like these things. I want to keep these mind.

Assignment#28

I think Japanese culture is very polite. For example bow to everyone, honorific words and Japanese people are considerate. First Japanese people do bow. It is very important manner. For example I met elder, I bow down to elder. We usually used bow. However, another country people doesn’t use use bow. Bow is only japan. Next Japanese people use honorific words. There are three types. For example, sonkeigo, kenjougo, teineigo. Honorific words is used to show respect for the person you are speaking to elder. However I speak in casual talk and friends. We don’t use honorific. I think Japanese honorific is beautiful and difficult. Foreigners say honorific is so difficult because so many words. Finally, Japanese people have considerate. For example maybe Japanese people don’t say “No” because Japanese people is very kind. Compassion is a characteristic of Japanese.　I miss Japanese culture when I came to United State. I love Japanese culture and I think culture is important things.

Assignment#28

I think Japan has many polite cultures. Japanese people usually use polite expressions with a person who outranks one. When I meet a parson for the first time, I use an honorific word. If become good friend with the parson, I don’t use peer language all the time. There is no doubt that I use peer language with my parent, my grandfather and my grandmother. Japanese culture has honorific language and deferential language and polite language. Therefore I think Japanese people watch their language. You can judge people by the way they speak. A way of talking is important in Japan.

I think a parson who can say hello to everyone is polite. In American, I heard “Good morning” “Hello” “Good evening” “Good night” “Good bye”. However there are a lot of greetings which is became a habit in Japan. I say “Itadakimasu” before I eat a meal, and I say “Gochisousama” after a meal. As I have explained, Japan has many customary greetings. Japanese people can make good use of it. I think Japanese people are polite!

assignment#28

     I think to be polite is respecting older people in Japan. Japan is stricter about up- and- down relationships than America. In general, younger people use honorific expression with older people. If younger people speak too casually to older people who are not particularly close to them, it is rude. When I was child, I was said by my father “You watch your language. It is more important other things.” I have been careful for my language since then. In addition, I think Consideration is important, too. For example, when you ride on the train, you sit on a chair and then you find elderly person who is standing. You should stand up and gave your seat to the elderly person. It is polite. To pay attention to the people around you, exchange greeting with around you and talking in polite language. I think these are very important and these are to be polite in Japan.

Assignment#28

In Japan, polite to other people is very important things for example in Japan, we must not speak to casual way of speaking to older person and Japanese people cherishes caring heat. Japanese say “OMOTENASHI”. Japanese people respect for other people. By the way, many Japanese people often bow in an obsequious manner for example, greeting, when I say “Thank you” and when I say “I’m sorry”. It means proof of respect. It is important Japanese culture but Japanese people and American people are different. About 5 years ago, Barack Obama bowed to Emperor. Then, Obama said, “I respected Japanese culture” but many American people were criticized to Obama because American people thinks, it is strange that American top person bowed to other people. I was very surprised and got shock when I heard that news. I did not understand why American people criticized to Obama. I think, there are many different cultures all over the world so around the people should understand other country cultures.

Assignment#28

There are a lot of culture in my country japan. In that I think polite culture is "take off myselt shoes" and "bow". Take off myself shoes is famous Japanese culture, it clean for roomand our house. The shoes remaind put on shoes in the room I think room will be dirty. So it had better take off oneself shoes in the room. However, american house do not have that space and takeoff shoes. Next, I think "bow" is polite culture bacause it is famous Japanese culture too. When I get gleeting someone we "bow" almost time for example, theire are meeting and meet for the first time etc. "Bow"  is famous common sense in Japan and Japanese people bow autmatically anytime. I think these things are polite culture mean.
