Hello, SaraRoseNY, I really enjoy reading your corrections. That's exactly what I wanted to write. Thank you so much. Lately, we learn many serious disasters happening in the world. In Japan big earthquakes occur more often than before. I'm scared a bit.... In addition, we will have terribly hot summer this year. Sorry for such negative ideas I wrote. I hope to see you soon again. Take care Yoko
Teacher SaraRoseNY Thank you for corrections that are helpful to me. As I am not proficient for article usage, number agreements, and word choices yet, your corrections are very useful to me. I always appreciate your kind corrections. As for Kyote, there is a large number of foreign people walking in a disorganized or unruly way everywhere. Even suburb districts of Kyoto, streets and local travel spots teemed with a lot of foreign travelers. I always avoid passing by a central station not to be involved with heavy crowds. While collecting lodging tax, local authority should increase travel guides, more information spots for foreigners, and installing live cameras for popular travel spots so that visitors can check the real-time chaotic situation just before they visit.

In particular, it is extremely dangerous to continue building high-rise buildings despite predictions of a major earthquake. The Tokyo metropolitan government should enact regulations to stop construction of such very tall buildings of many stories. Once a great earthquake hits Tokyo, dire devastations could be occurred and many people would be killed by the mega-trembles. Given the importance of the negative aspects of the "tawamans", more warning for possible dangers is indispensable to stop population concentration in Tokyo. Best regards, 5971mak
Teacher SaraRoseNY Thank you for corrections that are helpful to me. Historically, the Japanese government and citizens have maintained an unique homogenous society while refusing acceptance of foreigners. For example, when Indonesia refugee crisis occurred on around 1990, the individuals escaping from oppression reached about 12000. The Japanese government was reluctantly accepted them because of instruction of the UN on the basis of international treaty for refugees. The government constructed temporary apartments near Tokyo and Osaka to accommodate them, but authority didn’t take actions for them to mingle with local residents. Little by little, the sufferers were alienated from residents and communities. Then, the government has started a project which implements refugee’s resettlement to third countries. As a result of the decision, most of refugees relocate to other countries such as the U.S. The government should be aware of the perspective calculated by the current low birth rate. Immigration policy should be transformed to accepting economic migrants as residents to stop the low birth rate. Although meticulous qualification rules are indispensable, the government should stop to hesitating acceptance of migrants. As for the Japan's imperial family, I think that the system symbolize gender inequality in Japan. One of the chief rules is women should be inferior to men even in current modern society. However, considering the importance of gender equality in a society, the rule should be developed to realize gender equality. Best regards, 5971mak

Teacher SaraRoseNY Thank you for corrections that are helpful to me. Yes, aging society with fewer young generation has become a serious social issue. Thanks to development of medical services with public health insurance system have made Japan have longevity drastically. As a result, more taxpayer's money is spent for elderly medicine and nursing care. On the other hand, the budget for the young has been oppressed by the financial pressure of the elderly. As current condition is already in a crisis, no ultimate solution is found yet. Many young adults feel anxious for their future, resulting delaying the beginning of their families. I hope that the Japanese government should accept more economic migrants while encouraging residents to comply with internationalization. Best regards, 5971mak
Teacher SaraRoseNY Thank you for corrections that are useful to me. Societies have been developed by digitilization so that we can enjoy convenient daily life. Although a simple and easy life may be comfortable, every steps of rituals has meanings and respect to the gods. I think it is lazy to expect simplicity in praying. Best regards, 5971mak
Teacher SaraRoseNY Thank you for corrections that are helpful to me. A congestion tax would discourage the use of private owner cars and encourage the use of public transportation. At the same time, tax revenue would help infrastructure repairs and renovations. Thus, I believe it would also lead to improved atmosphere by reducing exhaust gases. To encourage the use of electric vehicles (EVs), environmentally friendly cars should be exempt from tax. resulting an eco-friendly condition in big cities. Best regards, 5971mak
Teacher SaraRoseNY Thank you for corrections that are helpful to me. Since my elder son goes to university, he had to have laboratory work as a part of practical training while reading scientific papers including English ones. So he needs my support to raise English literacy, then he has challenged conversation skill to adapt the changing circumstances. As a pharmacist who work at a big hospital, foreign patients visit his hospital and demand explanation in English if necessary. My relatives who are young are also interested in English conversation skill. When we have family gathering I explain how to raise English capability and what are necessary to become fluent speaker in English. I am glad that they are eager to learn English. As for "here comes a gaijin - let's run!", I am sorry you and your friends feel annoyed and maybe surprised at such odd responce. I think that those who can not speak English are afraid of communication in English. Many Japanese don't have opportunities to listening English in daily life, so they frequently don't understand what foreigners mention. As a result, when they see gaijin, they escape from foreigners not to be asked in English. Even easy communication like "Hello", "How are you?", and " Do you enjoy travel in Japan", many Japanese may hesitate to use English because of a lack of experience using English. I would like to expand the idea of importance of English communication to my surrounding friends and younger relatives. Best regards, 5971mak
Thank you, as always.
Teacher SaraRoseNY Thank you for corrections that are helpful to me. In general, hospitality industries needs soft and tailored services to satisfy customers' requests. They are not always mentioning what services they want to have, so such circumstances are inappropriate to be managed by computers and robots. Only human can provide adequate suggestions for guests' demands while hearling indistinct words and images. Even if there is a lunguage barrier, human communications are frequently heartwarming and sympathetic. Thus, I believe that Japan also needs economic migrants for nursing and caregiving businesses. I would like to spread the necessity of English conversation skill to my relatives and acquaintances to develop our society for making Japan have diversity. Best regards, 5971mak
