Blog Writing Assignment #2: How is English important for your job or future?

      Today, globalization is going on. In Japan, some companies started to use English as their official language. And many brilliant foreign people come to Japan to get a job. Furthermore, few years after, English education is going to start from elementary school, in the third grade. It will make today's children much better English speaker than us.   So I think that in the future, when we work as a member of a major company, we will have to use English in so many situation. For example, in our own office as official language, at meetings, negotiations with foreign correspondents. I heard that it is so difficult to find a job which doesn't need English today.  

      So, I must study English hard now to get a better job after graduation. After that, now I'm not going to continue to study English if I don't have to use English for my job. Because unfortunately, I don't so interested in English, and I think I will have had skills for everyday conversation in English when I graduate from university.  However, in the future, probably I will have to use English for my work. Then, I will have to study English more. 
      Still, my immediate goal for English is that I don't have a difficulty to travel foreign country where people speak English. Now I think that I don't want to go anywhere I can't understand what people say or people can't understand what I say. That is one of the reason why I don't want to go abroad. So if I can use english well, The world will become close to me. 

Blog Writing Assignment #1 Changing your hometown

 I live in a certain city in Osaka. I think my hometown is good city to live in. Because my hometown is very convenient and comfortable. For example, there is a large relaxing park which has many trees and  grounds for playing tennis, baseball, etc. In the river near my house, there are many kind of animals, fishes and insects. And watching them makes me relaxed. There are many supermarkets and other shops near my house and around the city. Also, there are some train stations and many bus stops, and my hometown is near a big city. So we can go to a big city by train or bus easily. My hometown is very convenient to buy something or go somewhere, and has some relaxing places.
 But, there is a lot of traffic too. So, at night, around my house is still noisy. However there is a large park, there are too many houses or buildings in my hometown. It makes the city's scene worse.
 I think it is true that convenience is very important to live comfortably, but if  in my hometown, there were fewer houses and more trees or glass , and traffic is lighter and quieter, my hometown would be more comfortable city.
