Teacher Ellie_P In my case, when my kids were infants, I was afraid that my kids might bother other customers. Therefore, I always talked with restaurants' staff in advance if my children can acompany with me. Occasionally, some fancy restaurants didn't accept my reservation. However, most of restaurants tried arranging to prepare seats for my kids where the staff choiced seats at the corner or near TV in their restaurants. These places are helpful to prevent patrons from hearing children's noisy voice. Their thoughtful care frequently made my family feel happy. Thank you for corrections that are helpful to me.

Teacher Ellie_P Yes, a lack of taxi driver has happened in some areas such as big cities and tourist spots. The clear thing is that their income is clearly lower than the average income of Japanese workers. Before the pandemic, the age distribution of the drivers were around 60 years who prefer relatively loose work tasks. During the pandemic, due to the drastic decrease of taxi demand, a significant number of the drivers quitted their jobs, resulting in decrease the number of taxi supply. Now people are taking back former lives with going out as before. However, despite the lack of taxi supply, their wages don't elevate because of economic stagnation of Japan in these two decades yet. Taxi drivers profession doesn't attract to the young because of the low income. Under such circumstance, if ride-sharing service started their business, taxi drivers income may dwindle furthermore. However, considering dearth of taxi in big cities and tourist spots, ride-shareing service can be acceptable to satisfy consumer's demand. Thank you for corrections that are helpful to me.

Teacher Ellie_P It is still not clear why the pilot of the Japan coast guard airplane trespassed into the runway without a permission from the control tower. Currently, he is under treatment in intensive care unit and is anticipated to be saved. After he will bounce back his serious condition, he will be investigated what happened at that time. Although the rescue is said to be a miracle, we should not forget five crews died at the accident. The authority should reveal the exchange of the words between the pilot and the control center so that this accident should be a seed to raise the safety of the plane. As for the first meeting? It is usually held to raise a spirit of collaboration in companies, or to strengthen friendship of companies in businesses. In case of the first meeting of a company, the president of a company hold the office party and invite subordinates. The objective is to raise a good and peaceful atmosphere in the office. However, apart from the objective, in actual situation, employees flatter their superiors and the president to make a good impression. Since patriarchy is still common in Japan, there is difficulty creating open minded mood among participants. Contrary, most participants compete to get a good impression from the bosses. In-company New Year's office party is usually held during the first week of January like Jan 3,4, or 5. The second case of a New Year's party is for companies presidents in businesses. Participants are usually company presidents. Usually, leaders of business society in each region hold the party to strengthen communication in their societies. The leaders expect that more companies raise competitiveness while maintaining friendly relationship among companies. The New Year's party of business societies is usually held middle of January like the 3rd Saturday. Before the Covid-19 pandemic, these two types of the New Year's office party were common and these were thought to be indispensable to galvanize business activities. However, through the challenges during the pandemic, employee's mind became altered to prioritize their personal lives because remote work is possible to practice in many situations. In my view, although the office party will be held, the atmosphere to obligate employees taking part in it becomes weaker than before. I believe that the difficult time changed people's idea regarding the balance between personal life and work. Thank you for corrections that are helpful to me.

Teacher Ellie_P Thank you again for good thoughts. While the number of victims are elevating, emergency rescue teams have been saving lives from the rubble. Currently, the Japanese government concentrate putting all emergency authorities such as the police, coast guard, fire fighters, and the army to save lives, who are tackling to remove devastated houses from the buried. Their dedication worth receiving respect from citizens. As for nature nearby my residence, I am surrounded by the small mountain and hill. There were forest area around my house, so my family regularly goes to the greenery spaces. Nature is good for me to relieve my daily stress. I regularly have a fun time to visit the forest.

She has chosen the high school herself. Thank you for your prayer!
Teacher Ellie_P Thank you for being so considerate that you pay attention to Japan. Everybody are surprised at sudden subsequent airplane crash at Tokyo Haneda airport. No one can imagine such tragedy happened on just the next day of the serious earthquake. According to TV news broadcast, a jumbo airplane were going to land on runway with 367 passengers. At the same time, a Japan coast guard middle size airplane, which were planned to transport emergency aids for the victims of the earthquake to our prefecture, were entering on the same runway. Airport control center instructed the coast guard airplane to stop at a stop-line before the runway. Despite the instruction, the official airplane entered in the runway, then the jumbo airplane hit the airplane. Flight recorder replicated that pilot of the official airplane may misunderstand the instruction unfortunately. As a result of these two disasters, there is any more happy atmosphere of the New Year in Japan. These incidents remind citizens of the thing that Japan is a land of disasters. More countermeasures to prevent natural disasters and human errors are necessary to stop such crucial dangers. Best regards, 5971mak
