August 25, 2022

By Saki Shimoda

When you were a high school student, what sport club did you try to belong to? Someone would you say they would join in the track team, someone would say they would join in the soccer team. There are two types of clubs: individual and team competitions. I think that not many people want to competition individually. On the other hand, many do not want to compete as a team. why are there so many of these people? Many people think that doing things in a group adds a lot of hassle. However, there are many positive effects of playing a team sport on young people in the long run.

Team sports helps make many friends. It may be tricky, but it also brings good things in its wake. It can make a lot of friends and find someone who fits your needs. Maybe that could become a long-time best friend. In fact, I found many friends and best friends on the club team that I am still close to after 9 years. In addition, you can rejoice and encourage together. The joy gained from working together with teammates is many times greater than the joy gained alone. Furthermore, rivals can do it within the same team, so they can enhance each other.

Next, you can develop cooperative skills. I think that what is important in team sports is not only technical skills but also good rapport. In order to get along with a large number of people, we need to care for each other. Also, if you act individually when you’re working as a team, you know you’re going to get angry. In the situation, the cooperation gained will be very useful in life in society. People often required to live in groups at school and at work. If you have cooperation skills, you can build good relationships.

Finally, people can be active in situations outside of the club as an adult. For example, PTA table tennis and volleyball tournaments or parent-child recreation, etc. even if you don’t want to do these things, it’s hard to avoid this kind of interaction as an adult. if you were a track and field athlete and still quick on your feet as an adult, you might find it useful in many situations, such as sports day. However, as people get older, their feet don’t keep up and they more concerned with not cooking up than with speed. In contrast, many team sports require skills, many of which are ingrained in the body and can be utilized even when you’re no longer young.

To summarize, people can make many friends and find your best friend, foster cooperation, and have ability to use it as an adult. There are a number of positive effects of playing a team sport eventually. The more people involved, the more work you have to do, but the more you can experience many different forms of things you can’t do alone. Lastly, I recommend you to play basketball! It could make your life more enjoyable.

It’s very important for improving academic skills, social skills, and a quality of life. There are some reasons why leaning abacus is important, including academic and social development and improving a quality of life.

Learning abacus can improve academic performance. The abacus has a time limit. Students concentrate on looking at small numbers, decimal points, and commas, and make instantaneous decisions. They also concentrate on listening to the teacher’s voice so as not to miss anything. Concentration is required because if you do not concentrate on your fingertips, you will touch the beads that you should not touch. This helps to improve ability to concentrate. The concentration skills acquired through abacus will enable our children to focus on their classes at school, and once they understand the content of the class, they will naturally enjoy studying and improve their academic skills.

Also, children can improve social skills through learning abacus for after school activity. There are many students who attend abacus classes. There are many opportunities to interact with students who are not in the same grade who you would not normally have the chance to interact with. Children become friends by teaching each other, and they also become good rivals through examinations. They will also be able to pay attention to their surroundings, because if they move not quietly, someone’s abacus board will disturbed, and if they speak or make noise during the reading arithmetic, they will not be able to hear the teacher’s voice reading out loud and will interrupt the practice. By acquiring the skills necessary to interact with others in these ways, social skills can be enhanced.

The development of concentration and social skills through learning abacus for after school activities can greatly improve the quality of children’s future lives. Life can be greatly enriched by having a hobby that we enjoy. Especially if we want to enjoy a good life in your old age, we need to have a hobby that we can get into.

Hobbies that involve cooperation between several people needs communication skills a lot. Social skills also allow us to interact with others through our hobbies.

Some parents may say that there is no need to learn abacus since calculators and computers do the calculations nowadays. However, as mentioned above, learning abacus has many other benefits besides improving calculation skills. They are essential to our lives and provide a satisfying effect.

Early Childhood Education

Early Childhood Education

August 24, 2022

By Nagi Yakushiji

“I started this sport since I was three years old” said Ai Fukuhara, a famous female table tennis player in Japan. Under the influence of her older brother, she started taking special table tennis education. She was really loved all of the Japan as Nakimushi-Aichan(crybaby Ai) and she is also a successful example of early childhood education. In this way, when parents let their children start something early, it could expect several merits, including three aspects of specialty, social skills and future.

First, the children can get specialty skills. There are main three kinds of early education programs: music, sports and language. The earlier children start these activities, the faster to improve their skills. This is caused by the level of brain development. All children’s brain is not developed completely so they can master everything faster than adult. As a result, they would become good at doing the activity. The case of Ai Fukuhara, she started table tennis from her childhood and after twenty years she has taken the silver medal at the London Olympics in 2012.

Second, early childhood education can improve their social skills. Children usually tend to communicate with only family and close-age friends, and they tend to spend most time in same place like home. Early education program gives children the opportunity to meet a lot of people like teacher, senior friends, they can meet even foreign people and to go many kinds of place. These experiences cannot gain only staying at home. Through the relationship with others, the children’s social skill must improve rapidly and it is expected to eliminate prejudice.

Third, early childhood education is useful to the children’s future. Of course, they can play an active role in the field directly, but also the experiences can give good influence on their life indirectly. In the process of early education, the children sometime face any problems like slump and then they would try to solve these problems somehow. This experience helps to improve their problem-solving ability and the power of perseverance. In addition, they can get confidence if the problem is better by themselves. The children who get these acquires tend to study well at school and manage relationship smoothly. Thus, early education is linked to better future.

Nonetheless, some people disagree early childhood education because they think the parents are able to give too pressure to their children. When parents let their children start the education, they spend a lot of money and time for children. Then they tend to desire seriously their children to be good at it. Sometimes it causes excessive education and parents give mental distress or harmful effect for children’s life. However, I am sure there are only countless huge benefits if parents can avoid these problems and practice correct education. For that, parents have to respect children’s self-initiative and value whether children have fun or not.

In conclusion, there are many well-influence points of early childhood education. Good education program let improve skills of special and social and lead very successful life. The children can get large advantage in their life through the program. Thus, I think all parents should practice early education for their children.

What are fun things to do for students who study abroad? If you go to South Korea, there are a lot of interesting things to do. I would like to introduce three types of entertainment that are great for relieving the stress of study abroad. They are going to cafes, shopping and traveling.

There are many shops lined up around the university where I am studying abroad. There are many fashionable cafes in South Korea. And there are many bars around the university. So foreign students go with their friends to talk and drink at cafes and bars. Korean students drink alcohol almost every day. Also there are a lot of people hanging around outside. The atmosphere of the college town is different from those in Japan, so if you go to South Korea to study, you will be able to enjoy a different university life from Japan’s.

If you like South Korea, you can enjoy shopping. South Korea are very concerned with beauty. That’s why Korean cosmetics are attracting worldwide attention. Recently, Korean Cosmetics are very popular in Japan. Fashion is attracting attention as well as cosmetics. Due to the popularity of K-pop, the number of people imitating fashion has increased.

South Korea is smaller than Japan. In other words, it is easier to travel in South Korea than in Japan. In addition, transportation facilities in South Korea are remarkably well developed and transportation costs are very low. Popular domestic travel destinations are Seoul, Busan, and Jeju Island. Foreign students often visit amusement parks. Busan is famous for its sea, so you should go in summer. Jeju Island is a place rich in nature. There is an ocean and mountains. Therefore, playing in the sea in summer and mountain climbing in winter is good.

In fact, the cost of studying abroad is very expensive and we can study languages by not doing study abroad. Thanks to the Internet, we can communicate with people who live in other countries easily and we can study abroad online at our home country. However, there are many effects of studying abroad on student’s future.

Of course, it is possible to acquire language skills without studying abroad and we can get language certified by studying ourselves but by going to abroad, we will get used to listening to a foreign language by listening to it all day. Additionally, we can learn basic conversation from talking with native speakers and if there are students who is the same generation, we can learn trendy words. It is impossible to learn trendy words from a language textbook, so study abroad is the best way to acquire trendy words.

Second, the experience of study abroad become an appealing point when we do job-hunting. I think that there are a few people who have foreign education experience. If you have this experience, you can talk about abilities acquired by studying abroad, something impressive episode, and how good your language skills are. These episodes might be a hot topic when you have an interview at companies. Sometimes, there is a company incentive for people who have an experience of study abroad.

other important effect of studying abroad is we can broaden our knowledge by experienced it. There are many people who have different cultures in foreign country, and it cause you to get a culture shock. I don’t think that having culture shock is but thing because this experience will be good for our personal growth. I have been to Croatia for three weeks and spending time with a local family. Then, I got a culture shock there. Getting a culture shock made me confused and it was difficult to accept a different culture. However, thanks to this experience, I could learn new things I didn’t know before.

Justification for Rating in Art Subjects

Justification for Rating in Art Subjects

August 24, 2022

By Riko Yamamoto

“I am not good at drawing” Some people say that in art subjects. And some people say that teachers should not rate works made by students. Unlike English lessons that we must remember a lot of vocabulary and math lessons that require comprehension, art lessons are very easy because it is a class that relies on our sensibility. Students tend to think that in art classes, they emphasize the skill of drawing and the presence or absence of originality. Thereby some people say that individual’s artistic concept should not be evaluated by others, and that some people are no good at drawing, so it should not be evaluated in art classes. So why is it still being evaluated in art classes? This time I introduce 3 reasons why teachers should give an evaluation in art classes, completeness of the work, knowledge of art, and beauty perspectives.

Giving an evaluation in the art class can improve the perfection of the work that students make. If they are not good at drawing or they who don’t like drawing, they will not try to draw properly when it comes to not evaluated. In a lesson where the students are lazy, there is no reason in giving the lesson. In such a class, students who are not good at drawing and dislike drawing will remain as they are. It is important to give an evaluation in terms of motivating students.

Art classes can be evaluated not only by the works made by the students, but also by the knowledge test. These knowledges are the knowledge about history in art. In other words, by giving an evaluation of art, we can be willing to gain historical knowledge about art. Drawing and making works may have few useful moments in our life, but I think that gaining knowledges about the history of art will bring depth to our future life. When we have to go to a museum for some reason, it is many times more interesting to look at a painting with a historical background than to look at a painting that you don’t understand.

The criteria for art classes are also whether we understand the perspective of beauty, and if we understand them well, the evaluation will be good. For example, being able to understand the properties of shapes, colors, materials, light, and the effects they have on emotions is useful even after graduating from school and becoming a member of society. (About learning evaluation) Evaluations should be made in art classes that encourage people to learn about such emotionally influential beauty perspectives.

Some students say that in art classes, individuality should be valued and teachers should not rate it. Certainly, it is not nice to be given a bad rating for our work. However, in art classes, the degree of perfection of a work is not the only evaluation. As mentioned above, it is also evaluated by the degree of understanding such as historical background and beauty perspectives. Of course, it is evaluated by the degree of perfection of the work, but if we are not good at making it, we can supplement the evaluation by the result of the knowledge test. Isn’t it easier to get a better evaluation than other subjects because I can be evaluated and supplemented from various points of view?

In conclusion, there are many advantages to evaluate in an art class. Art classes have different evaluation perspectives then other classes. Whether it works good or bad depends on the person. However, the ability to create works, the understanding of the history of art, and the perspective of beauty that are cultivated in art classes are very important in future life, and I think that they will be acquired more by being evaluated.

Effects of Keeping a Pet on Family

Effects of Keeping a Pet on Family

August 24, 2022

By Tomoka Izumi

Do you know the positive effects of keeping a pet? Especially good if you have a family pet. Some families may think it is difficult to take care of a pet if they have one. And some families may think that having a pet won’t change anything. But There are many effects of keeping a pet in the family.

The first positive effect is that families heal when they have pets. Family includes both adults and children. And each may have their own stresses at school or work. However, having a pet in the family may reduce that stress. Pets heal us just by looking at them. And interaction with pets has a positive effect.

The second positive effect is that pets become playmates for children. I think pets make good child playmates in families with children. I think it’s a good idea to have a pet, especially if you have an only child in the family. Children who are only children may feel lonely because there are no children their own age at home. I am sure the family would be happy to have a playmate for such a child. And since the pet grows up with the child, the child will feel like he or she has a real sibling.

The third positive effect is that it brings us closer together than we would ever be as a family. When you have a pet, the whole family must take care of it. Families need to make sure their pets are fed properly, and they need to take care of their toilets. Also, pets sometimes need to be bathed and taken to the hospital. If a family gets a dog, they need to take it for a walk. Those are hard work, and the family needs to work together. I think doing something together as a family brings families closer together. And the whole family gathers around the pet. When petting or playing with pets, I think it brings the family closer to each other. I think that would naturally bring the family closer together. I also got closer to my parents when I got a cat. I used to have trouble knowing what to talk about with my parents, but now we always talk about a cat.

To summarize, if a family has a pet, there are a lot of positive effects. Would you like to keep a pet for your family?

Ways for Study Abroad Students to Overcome Culture Shock

Ways for Study Abroad Students to Overcome Culture Shock

August 24, 2022

By Hina Inoue

In today’s globalized world, it became common for students to experience studying abroad. Study abroad is a great opportunity for students to broaden their thinking. However, there are times when students fail to understand cultural differences and they experience culture shock. How can students overcome culture shock in foreign countries?

Culture shock is the feeling of severe anxiety when someone is placed in an environment that is very different from the familiar one. They become impatient because they cannot understand what is happening around them. They also feel alienated and blocked out, which can affect their interpersonal relationships. Culture shock can become stressful and lead to long-term negative feelings. Students who study abroad are exposed to many cultural differences. If their culture shock is too great, they may need to give up studying abroad and leave for their home countries.

The first solution to overcoming culture shock is to accept culture shock as a natural consequence of study abroad. Study abroad students¥ are foreigners, and it is natural to feel uncomfortable with the host culture. Culture shock is a stage in the process of adapting to a new culture. Therefore, there is no need to be overly anxious about culture shock. By doing so, the culture that made you feel uncomfortable in a foreign country will become familiar to you before you know it. Eventually, you will be willing to experience and accept the new culture. It is also important to realize that you do not need to accept all the differences. Everything you see is new and shocking, but you don’t have to agree with them. By recognizing that it is natural to experience culture shock and that you don’t need to like everything about the host culture, the stress will be relieved.

The second way to overcome culture shock is to talk to friends and family. Conversation with family members and friends from the same country will relieve the stress of culture shock. This is because even in the midst of a confusing situation in a different culture, people who share the same culture can be a source of comfort. During study abroad, a place where people can vent these anxieties will become a mental refuge for them. It is reassuring to know someone understands your feeling that you are feeling uncomfortable. Talking honestly about your feelings with family and friends can help change the difficult situation.

Culture shock is part of study abroad. But knowing it is possible to overcome culture shock can help students complete their study abroad programs. They can overcome culture shock by understanding that it is natural to experience culture shock and by sharing the feelings of discomfort with friends. Experiencing new cultures makes people anxious, but they also help people grow. Enjoy coping with different cultures by knowing solutions.
