    Teacher Ellie_P Yes, I strike up a conversation with the driver. When helping the driver whose vehicle gets stuck, it is common that I work while chatting something to kill the stressfull time. Therefore, as a result,I unintentionally strike up a conversation with the drivers for around 5 to 10 minutes until the car gets unstuck. In particular, in this week, a severe cold wave hit northern part of Japan including Kanazawa, resulting blizzards in these twodays. Weather forecast gave warning not to go out except for essential reasons. Snow piled up around 20cm on roads and residents have to shovel to remove snow in front of their houses. In this situation, staying at home is a safe way while having delicious sea food dishes. Since outside is very freezing, fish also have to be fat to survive. Residents know how to enjoy in chilly winter in Kanazawa. Thank you for corrections that are helpful to me. Best regards, 5971mak

    Teacher Ellie_P I agree that obsession for playing video games may devastate player's daily life. My younger son is one of the users who are obsessed watching YouTube videos on smartphone screen. He always bring his smartphone day and night to watch videos. I also nagged him to limit the time to continue focusing on the screen. I repeatedly explained him the negative influences of smartphone addiction such as not only eye problem but also difficulty doing daily rutines and assignments. Recently, he purchased a container with time locking system in which he can leave his smartphone. He seems to try treating himself with his addiction. Long term nurture is helpful for him to be independent and restrain from his obsession. Thank you for corrections that are helpful to me. Best regards, 5971mak

    Thank you for your kind words of comfort. He was one year old when we got him. We are going to bury him in our garden, though we are leaving this house in three years. When we move to Iwate, we will not be able to bring his body, but I have lots of his feathers because I've collected his fallen ones.

    Teacher Ellie_P Thank you for having an interest in Kanazawa. Generally, residents in my city are healthy thanks to a lot of delicious sea food. As a result of sea food paradice, they usually eat fish instead of meat. While living here, I regurally eat healthy ingredients such as sea food and vegetables without realizing it. There are a lot of fresh sea food at community super market everyday with reasonable prices. The thing that I should pay attentionto is the amount of salt intake that is a chief culprit of hypertention and stroke. Since Japanese cuisine abuse salt to make dishes delicious, low salt cooking has become popular nowadays as Japanese society ages. Currently, many citizens aspire to be in good health in their old age and prefer putting healthy aging in practice to be productive. I am also active to having low-carb diet with healthy dishes like sea food and vegetables. Occasionally, sweets and oily dishes are insurmountable to indulging myself in eating them a lot. Before having these unhealthy dishes, I regurally make it custom that I eat one pint of tomato can before these high calorie items so that I can avoid taking too much calories. I have two sons and would like to be in good health until they are independent. Thank you for corrections that are helpful to me. Best regards, 5971mak

    It has rained a lot this winter in my city. It's strange that it rains instead of snowing in winter.

    I like having guests, but it's hard to cook for them and clean up rooms after they have left.

    Teacher Ellie_P I agree with the threat of jealousy from others. I always teach my sons to be decent and humble. When they unintentionally are forced to mention their advantages and achievements, I instilled that they should explain why they tried and how they make efforts a lot so that they can prevent being conceited. I believe that jealousy is the thing that we should be cautious about. Thank you for corrections that are helpful to me. Best regards, 5971mak
