She cancelled our meeting again. It drove me nuts. She may be mentally dysfunctional.
What would be the most important to keep marriage life? I think character and sex are the most imoprtant.
Remembering the sounds of foreign languages is so hard that I'm quick to forget the expressions I learned. Hearing and listening are different. Hearing the sounds of the words is not enough. To listen we need to think about the sounds and the words.
To my surprise the older I get, the younger I look. People around me often say so.
There was a big earthquake in Pakistan,and a lot of people were killed there. I think our life has been determined by our luck.
I lost my watch. I'm so depressed that I can do nothing now. I need that watch.
I don't know if she loves me. I wonder why woman's mind is so hard to understand.
Few peopel try to find the meaning of life. But if we think about it, we can't find the answer so easily. I was born by accidental event. Evolution theory may be true. But nobody can say the meaning of our life. If we can't make the meaning of our life by ourselves, we don't have to continue to live. But I think I have to, at least, live for K. Without K, it is no use my living.
I don't know why they speak ill of them. Maybe they don't know the reality. They are only using false imagination.
How many more years can I live, I don't know. But I want to visit as many countries as possible in my life. I can learn new things wherever I go.
To my surprise Chinese also have begun to wear short skirts. It's good but bad, I felt. Sexual attractiveness is very important, but it is their heart that I put more emphasis on.
Girls are stupid and darty. But they can be our best pets.
All of a sudden I had a sharp pain in my stomach. Maybe the mackerel I ate must have disagreed with me. I may have got poisoned by it.
There was a big explosion in India. The Isalm extremist mave caused it. They must be brainwashed. Usuall we can't kill innocent people without being brainwashed.
This tread is DQN, because I say so. I can also become DQN by writing here because this thread is DQN. Why am I writing this nonsense? I am DQN because I write in DQN thread. DQN for the win, or is it win for the DQN?
I've been wondering why Mr. Koizumi is quite popular among Japanese people. LDP got a landslide victorty in the recent election. I think Mr. Koizumi is very cold to weak people. It is easy to guess if we see his divorce case. He got dirvorced when his wife was still pregnant. He should get more money from rich people. The reason why he's got a victory is that rich people support him.
It's a kind of weird to put Mr. and Koizumi toghether. Of course it's just a puppet, but what prime minister or president isn't?
I'm agree with you but this is a global reallity. To win an elections, you need a good campaign, so you need a lot of money. With money (don't ask from) they win but at same time become an inversion.
But, there's not so much better in the Japanese politics to choose.. Just think this: If Koizumi is a "liberal" how will be the right wing??
>>718
With according to your logic, major Japanese are rich and poor person doesn't exist so
much ,thefore Koizumi won the election.
Japan's ratio of middle classes is high because of a severe tax system, and a millionaire
ratio and a poor persons retio are few. In a sense, it is a socialistic state.
However I'm not so rich and living in typical small Japanese house which was called rabbit
hutch by French, I voted LDP.
The reason is that other political parties are too rude.
The political party that leader's like person representing the interests of a group in the
specific Asian countryies cannot be helped even if excluded from people's large majority.
I see many Japanese say that Eureka Seven is a failure. I think it's quite a failure too - it's got very high production values and a young, energetic team working on it, but the plot and characters are hackneyed beyond measure, and as a result the whole show feels tired. I feel kind of sorry for the people behind the series, though. I wonder how they are taking all the criticism.
Surely..bad..dream that......Eureka Seven is a failure.

College teachers say the Japanese goverment structure is the same as 50 years before. Just a temporal system while the country was building up..
It's weird to think the Japan from 69 is the same from now. At that time, College students were so revolutionary and more interested in politics.
Actually I have no one partner who's in that stuff. I've seen in South Korea and Europe the opposite, All students i've met here are more worried thinking about their future "stable" job. So it's said..

It measns that Japan is a very peaceful nation, at least, many people feel so. That's why many young are not interested in politics. But when the nation is so bad, people are very interested in politics so that they try to make their country better.
He was arrested but he might have know it. Birds flu is spreading around the world now. I love traving abroad. I have to be careful.
The quake that hit northern Pakistan elevated the ground by as much as six meters in devastated areas. Anyhow why was he detained?
Quite a few Japanese post messages in English boards. But their toic scores are in general very low. Why? Maybe their listening skills are so poor.

I'll answer your question though my arbitrary decision and the prejudice are considerably included.
A usual Japanese has been studying English for six years in the junior high school and the high school
though is the lowest after WWⅡ..
The question whether a usual Japanese not good at English conversation is caused yet.
I think that there are three big reasons.
1.English meaning in university/college entrance exam
In the university entrance exam of Japan, English is an indispensable subject regardless of the liberal
arts course or the science course.
However, the grammar, the decipherment, and the composition are main in the content of the examination.
An English dictation is not imposed usually.
The English at entrance exam in Japan is ,in a word, not to measure the ability of communication level,
but one means to measure the ablity of one's brain storage memolability.
The situation might change a little because, hearing will be added to National Center Test for University
Entrance Examination from next time.
2.A lot of sounds that do not exist in Japanese exist in English.
The same sounds such as th, v w, r, and l do not exist in Japanese. Therefore, such a sound is rejected
or falsified by Japanese native's ear and mouth.
"I love you./I rub you "and "Please sit down/Please shit down" .It is very difficult for me to distinguish.
When you come to Japan, and want to eat the hamburger, not to use correct pronouncing English
"Where is McDonald", but to use Japanese style pronouncing "Where is Makudo Narudo" then you will
be able to get the hamburger at the probability of 90% or more.
3.The country where necessity of foreign language conversation doesn't exist in daily life.
In this respect, Japan is a happy country. Land is isolated from the big and strong countries by the sea.
There is no thing embarrassed with daily life even if English is able not to be understood.
If the land is sorrounded directly by big countryies, we have to learn those languages or the crisis of the
living will be caused.
Therefore, the person who doesn't have an English necessity will release the English memory area.in the
brain after exxamination has over, and use the area for more important usage for daily life.

When you ask your wife too much, your marriage life will be broken.
Sound should have meanings when we can speak a language freely. But many people can understand foreign languages only when they have translated sound into some words. But it is for this reason that people can't understand the language when it is spoken by native speakers. You should practice more so that you can understand the language by its sound.
Only beauty cannot last our relationship. After all the character is also important.
I have to go through a lot of hardship many more years. When it gets cold, I don't feel like taking a shower, rather I want to go to bed early. So I don't take a shower for three days.
She always forget returning videos. So she tries watch all videos she rented on the last day. She has to watch more than three videos,and goes to the rental video shop to return the videos before 12 am at midnight. I feel she is stupid.
I put a cold compress on my back because I had a pain there. I often go to chiropractic these days. I'vw got old.
A fire broke out. I couldn't say. I had to put medicine, gaze, disinfectant, bandage, tweezers in the emergency kit. The typhoon caused extensitive damage to this area.
Today I wanna get sleep early, but it's that late already.
I don't feel like reading the long messages which somebody wrote. Long sentences are not good if I want to have somebody read my message, I learned.
I wonder why there are some people who can kill others. Killing others is so tough. But some can do it. They are nuts in the head. If they are normal, it's unbelievable.
I wanna live like him. He lives so freely. He is never bound to the normal rule of our society. Normal people always live paying attention to or being afraid of others or others eyes. I also wanna live feely, but I can't. I'm too weak. I wanna be stronger. I wanna be a different person.
I've begun to feel motherly love for them. I've got old.
If you want to know whether you can get along with your girlfriend for a long time and can marry her, you should have a big fight with her. If you give vent to your pent-up feelings and you can be reconciled with her, she may be a best girl for you. You are made for each other. I've found that I can be on the same wavelength as her.
I can speak English almost freely. I have no difficulty making myself understood in English when I talk with native speaker of English. A lot of expressions come to mind quickly. But when it comes to writing, I feel it's so hard. Good expressions don't come to mind. I have to wait for a long time until I can find good words to express what I want to say. Speaking skills are a little different from writing skills, maybe. But listening is still so difficult that it's very hard to understand 100 % of English movies or something like that. Maybe adults lose listening abilities to the extent that they can never distinguish some sound. Maybe we should start to learn English before we are 10, if we want to understand 100% of English movies or news. I'm too late. It's no use crying over spilt milk. This proverb touches me to the core.
Even housing loans or mortgage loans are difficult. The more haste, the less speed means that if you want to accomplish something so quickly, you have to be cool and check your plan carefuly. Otherwise you often make mistakes, and after all it will take a longer time to achieve your goal.
I want to buy a codo. But the problem is money. I don't want to pay housing loans for many years. But if I don't buy a codo now, after I retire from work, I have to continue to pay the rent for an apartment until I die. But I can't get so much pension. If so I have to rent a cheap and poor apartment. I don't like it. After all it might be better to buy a condo now. I'm in two minds.
It's been found that the condominiums or hotels that anj architect Anneha woul collapse with an earthquake with an intensity of five-plus on the Japanese scale. It means that Anneha put a lot of people in an extemely dangerous position. I wonder if he has conscience. But I think there must be a lot of other buildings that the earthquake resistance data have been falsified by architects.
All of a sudden she began to take interest in dancing. She looked at the websites about dancing. I feel sorry for her. She can't wear the clothes which shows her body too much.
Spare the rod and spoil the child. If you really love your child,
you have to make him more independent, trave alone. So if you permit
him to depend on you too much, your son will be spoiled and can't
be a strong ault.
Many a little makes a mickle.
Even if you practice speaking English only about ten minutes every day, you will be able to speak English well in ten years. So if you do something every day without giving up, there is a strong possibility that you can achieve great success.
I can't achieve my goal. Because I haven't set my goal in life. But I don't like aiming too high. If I aim high, my enthusiasm for achiving the goal will gradually cool down. But the biggest problem would be that I can't have the enthusiasm for setting a goal in life. If you run after two hares, you will catch neither. First catch your hare, then cook him.
The Japanese government will permit US beef to be imported early next week. Importing US beef was banned two years ago as soon as some persons died of the mad cow disease after eating beef. In a sense Japanese people are timid. So they never want to eat foods which endanger their life. But US government has forced Japanese government to permit the imports of US beef. The reason may be that US cattle industry is in red, so they need to find the markets. So Japanese politicians have sold Japan to US for money. Thinking that way may be going too far. I ought to have a moderate view. But eating in moderation is much more important for me now.
I wonder if extraterrestrial beings exist. But if there are beings in outer space, what would become of us? If they try to invade the earth, we won't be abld to defend ourselves. Because if they can come to the eath far away from their own planet, their techology must be far more advanced than ours. So we will lose the war, and the ETs will govern our earth. We may become slaves.
Discretion is the better part of valor. He that fights and runs away lives to fight another day.
I learned how important it it to say the consonants very strongly in English. Japanease are apt to pronounce the voweles clearly. But Americans pronounce consanants clearly. But the consonants are like breath sound. Japanese are poor at pronouncing this voiceless sound. Because they move quickly from the consonants to the vowels. English in many cases begin with breath (sound) and ends with breath (sound). Japanease should acquire this skill.
The gratitude, the creation of culture, to have a world-wide view is important. We aim to train them to be able to thank others and to have a practical attitude towards life. It was founded about 60 years ago as a cram school. Others and I are one. The child is father of the man. As the twig is bent, so grows the tree. We don't forget or are highly influenced by that what we learned in our childhood.
I'd like to train them to be internationalized and broad-minded so that they can make contributions to society.
I have a dream that one day I will be able to speak Chinese like my native language. When I heard Martin King's speech, I was so impressed that I tried to imitate his voice and expression. Why does his speech speak so much to the heart? It came from the bottom of his heart. I like his deeply moving speech.
The number of pedophiles has been increasing in Japan recently. In the past few months, five elementary students were killed by pedophiles. Today a sixth grader girl of an elementary school was stabbed to death with a knife by a cram school teacher. It's impossible to believe that there are quite a few people that can kill little children so cruelly. The characteristics of this murder is in that cruelty. One six year old girl was stabbed in her chest many times. Another had their tooth pulled out with a pair of pliers. Why could they do such curel things to little girls? They may have failed to control their sexual desire. The frightening era has come. But what would be the real reason for causing such crimes?
Large explosions occurred in the fuel depot in London. The radical Shiite demonstrated against Japanese SDF troops staying longer in Iraq, demanding the withdrawal of all foreign troops from Iraq. A cram school teacher stabbed a 12 year old girl to death, because he was poked fun at by the girl.
Chinese women are so warm-hearted and treasure friendship, that is, set a high value on friendship. I wanna win their friendship. I should know that Rome was not built in a day.
Nought venture, nought win. Even if it is dangerous to get, unless you try, you can't obtain anything.
In Japan death penalty is permitted. Butsome people are against death penalty. I'm for death penalty. But I think reall bad people can't be good people. So it's more important to protect good innocent people than protecting the right of bad people.
I'm gonna put up your introduction cards on the bluttinboard. We're gonna make a new building with seven floors. Please take the Shinkansen, Nozomi No.74. It will leave Shin Osaka at ten ten and will get to N at 11:02.
He jumpped down from the third floor after drinking a detergent.
At last I've realized that I have to study English again from the beginning by listening to CDs which was recorded by native speakers of English. I've been able to learn English by looking at the words, but I haven't learned English sound. That's why I've been able to understand English movies or news. But it takes a long time to fisnish listening to an English CD stopping the CD and repeating the sentences which were said by a native speaker of English. I'm so worried about whether I can continue this method even thouhg it's very important to learn practical English.
We are likely to have a heavy snowfall tomorrow again. If it snows heavily, it's dangerous to go to work by car, but it's very troublesome to go to work by train. I have to change trains three times to get to work. So I'm in two minds as to how to get to work. Also we have an year-end party tomorrow night after work. Tomorrow will be a hard day for me.
The retail price of kerosene in Japan has hit a record 18 year high dut to growing demand caused by the recent cold weather. Government affiliated oil information center says the average retail price including consumption tax for 18 liters kerosene was one thousand two hundred sixty three yen.

You've become the ninth grader this year. I think this year must be the most important year in your life. What I want to suggest to you is that you should set a goal of this school year. Otherwise you will waste a lot of time. You don't have to take the entrance exams to enter a high school. So there is a strong possibility that you will neglect your studies.
The TSE suspended the trading of all stocks, as the turnover neared the limit of the system's processing capability. The main reason is that Prosecutors in Tokyo and the Securities and Exchange Surveillance Commission have begun to expand their investigation of the internet firm.
Livedoor. They suspect that Livedoor falsified financial data in 2004.
The Tokyo District Public Prosecutors Office suspects that Livedoor misled the stock market in 2004 over one of its many merger-and-acquisition deals in order to boost the share price of an advertising subsidiary.
U.S. beef imports have been banned again due to the discovery that beef shipped from the country contained spine parts, which are designated as risk material for mad cow disease,

I could never find the type of woman that I really want. They always start seeing me as only a friend.
The Internet service Livedoor group bought other companies. Its president Takafumi Horie was briefed by executives that their buyout method could violate the law. Prosecutors continue to question Mr Horie on suspicion of violating the securities and exchange law. He has resigned from his management post since the arrest.

I'm too tired today. I have nothing to write.
January 21 history was made. A 30-minute listening test was taken. It was the first time that the unified university entrance exams, prepared by National Center for University Entrance Examinations, had included listening comprehension. This will mark a new age in teaching English in Japanese schools. More practical language learning will take place, rather than simply exam-oriented English. The listening test will change the way of teaching of Japanese teachers of English who used to depend on translation method. This will be a great step for Japanese English education." The recording of the small, hand-held Integrated Circuit (IC) players was slow at first, and it picked up speed and difficulty gradually to test a wide range of listening abilities.
Until now many high-school teachers have seen their main goal as helping students get into good universities by passing entrance exams. Without a listening test, teaching listening skills has largely remained off the curricula of high-school English classes. The most powerful way to change teaching methods is to change the examinations.
Listening passages were contextualized. Students could not just apply grammatical rules but needed to be familiar with how language is used practically to convey a variety of meanings in context.
The listening part will be a better indicator of high-level students than reading and grammar-vocabulary questions of the test because it involves higher level contextualizing skills in addition to reading, grammar and vocabulary. If the National Center shares this data with the public it should persuade high-school teachers to really cultivate students who can use English.
Many people have different opinons as to the best way to improve one's Enlighs skill. Accroding to the news written in Mainichi News Paper, the government will enforce elementary schools to teach English at least once a week as a regular subject. There are pros and cons about this decision. But I think Japanese are shy and too much sensitive to others' eyes. For this Japanese can't speak English well or they can't try speaking English.
The only way to learn a language is if you're really interested in it. It's a waste of time if you are not motivated enough.
'Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe;
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe.
'Beware the Jabberwock, my son!
The jaws that bite, the claws that catch!
Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun
The frumious Bandersnatch!'
He took his vorpal sword in hand:
Long time the manxome foe he sought--
So rested he by the Tumtum tree,
And stood awhile in thought.
And as in uffish thought he stood,
The Jabberwock, with eyes of flame,
Came whiffling through the tulgey wood,
And burbled as it came!
One, two! One, two! And through and through
The vorpal blade went snicker-snack!
He left it dead, and with its head
He went galumphing back.
'And hast thou slain the Jabberwock?
Come to my arms, my beamish boy!
O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!'
He chortled in his joy.
'Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe;
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe.
When we can learn something good, it always involves pain.
I have a sever pain in my throat. I might have caught a cold.
I've had a sore throat for the firt time in five years. It's hard. I can't talk well. It consumes a lot of energy. I used up all my energy.
The pain still remains. I went to see a an otolaryngologist. I wanna get over this cold as soon as possible.
I got over the bad cold one week after I came down with it. It was so hard. I had to go to the hosptial twice, because the mdecine the doctor gave me didn't work at all at first. I had a heavy headache and a high fever.
To my surprise that thread was gone. I didn't post there for a while. It was gone before I copied the messages. Orz.
Nothing comes to mind. I feel sad because of that. I want K to develop her character. He gave me too much work. I have to be cautious.
