a hotel throws money at its guests

2012-02-15T15:05:13Z

i can't understand the

because by ordinary the guests pay accommodation fee to a hotel.

i think it very good idea in the following respect.

this campaign made the news and many people can know it.

second as the topic say , this campaigns are beneficial for visitor.

do you have any memorable services from hotels.

not concerning services a hotel with a private beach in bali is vividly retained in my memory.

i loved the views from deck in room to watch the sea and wide open space.

what do you think about services the most remain in a customer's memory?

a bookstore is giving away $1 million in gifts to libraries

2012-02-05T03:16:26Z

base on this title ,

i didn't understand what's happend because i think a bookstore and libraries compete against each other.

i mean . the more people use libraries , the less the book is sold.

i think it is a good idea as far as more and more people go to a libraries and get a chance to meet books.

i hope it makes a difference but at the same time i think that's basically the answer ,

first i wanted to ask the president that why visitors is coming down.

that' because we can read any books at free everywhere over the internet by using device such as ipad Kindle.

in japan , however the electronic book market is still small.

I'm typically not big readers.

I would be better off reading books , but my excuse is that i don't have much time to do.

if i would took those , that's only information-type magazines.

such as surfing and road bike and fashion.

how about you?

bridal show seasons is here

2012-02-02T14:45:03Z

sorry for not introducing myself earlier.

I'm satoru.

I'm looking forward to taking this class and having a good time.

I'm misled into thinking that i added you on skype.

as this news put it , in Japan Spring and autumn with their mild climates are popular seasons for wedding ceremonies too.

and I'm invited to the weeding in April.

that is with the approach of warmer weather.
as said before , i think.....

in japan , more and more pople are putting off marriage until later in life.

what a beatifull day !

and I should go out and play in the sun.

japanese are not Christians , hold a wedding ceremony at church.

excuse me for asking , but are you married?

these days more and more people are having their marriage ceremonies in Christian chruches.

For japanese , wedding ceremonies have nothing to do with religion.

formal dress is be rigueur at weddings.

if it's called a wedding ceremony , around 20-30 thousand yen in celebration money has to be brought.

i wish i were you.

Instead, I rather think you did a wonderful job !

it's nice, but it's also kind of sad.

they will hold them at a shrine , church or any place as long as it's fashionable.

i had to attend more than ten weddings last year, and the number is increasing now that i'm reaching marriageable age.

this must be greatly influenced by the Hollywood movies in which beautiful brides with

a wedding dress often appear.

in June , Bells RIng Nonstop like their sisters in many countries, the girls of japan , also dream of being a June bride.

Lucky days are called Taian and it is common to have happy ceremonies such as weddings on these days.

How much alcohol is too much for you?

Beer is the most popular alcohol among Japanese.

many times we often order a beer at fast.

Beer is so commonly drunk by Japanese people that even though there are many choices of alcoholic drinks available in Japan such as Japanese sake and shouchuu, there is a phrase they often use: "Beer first anyway."

what do you say getting a move on drinking ?

If you still aren't sure, these general guidelines will help - Merlots and Cabernet Sauvignons are good, general red wines and Chardonnays are a reliable choice of white wine.

Speaking of owning a pet , we often see the people who jog or go shopping with his or her pets.

And also there are many shops permitted pets.

in addition an increasing number of animals are suffering from obesity and other lifestyle-related diseases due to lack of exercise as humanbeing do.

i can't understand this is happening.

small dog is becoming popular as a pet.

This means , i think , we can realize a mature society.
Japanese people became wealthy, and more and more people can afford to have a pet.

at the other hand , because of this there are many problems in the country.

One of the problems with pets is There are many abandoned dogs and cats.

it goes without saying that This is due to the irresponsibility of the owners who abandon their pets too easily.

but mass media is accountable for this situation too.

that's because only the good side had been reported.

i mean the good side are widely communicated , and we cannot hear most of the bad side.

the social network for businesspeople

2011-11-28T13:37:13Z

subject : the social network for businesspeople

teacher : Ruben , Lawrence

Social networking services are currently gaining a growing number of users in Japan.
and I sometimes draw on it to contact with my old friends , too.
So i'm interested in this topic.

in japan the most popular SNS is mixi , which is domestic sites.

first , I've never known Linkin befor reading this topic.and knowing it , i found it interesting. Because there are so many sites such as facebook , mixi and so on.so it's very difficult to find the sites that is suited to their popose, i think.

Once I read somewhere:
SNS is affected the economy on several fronts and one of the biggest influences is to change the development cycle.
even so , companies have created products, but in future user do it you really wanted by themselves .
thanks to the SNS , we can easily come together to exchange ideas and provide everything to other people.

As you say , It's better to find a job in which the knowledge you acquired in college can be useful , i think too.

One reason that -

I have been without a girlfriend for 1 years.
i'm getting used life without a girlfriend.
and now i

I'll do OK without a girlfriend.

it's better to find a job in which the knowledge you acquired in college can be useful.

I think this article is written about the mecca for lovers.

so i found it fascinating.

it is interesting to read that in Ivanovo there are far more woman than men.

in almost all areas of the world there are far more woman than men,

so average female life expectancy is slightly longer than that for males.

but in Ivanovo it diffenrent circumstances.

the green economy

2011-09-06T10:13:27Z

subject : the green economy

teacher :

Summary

based on this title ,

i think this article is written about what the green economy is and the effect of it.

until this point it was a period when we enthuse about computer technology .

the green economy is here to stay.

the green economy results in improved human well-being and social equity, while significantly reducing environmental risks and ecological scarcities.

the green economy is one whose growth in income and employment is driven by public and private investments that reduce carbon emissions and pollution, enhance energy and resource efficiency, and prevent the loss of biodiversity and ecosystem services.

These investments need to be catalyzed and supported by targeted public expenditure, policy reforms and regulation changes. This development path should maintain, enhance and, where necessary, rebuild natural capital as a critical economic asset and source of public benefits, especially for poor people whose livelihoods and security depend strongly on nature.

nuclear energy plant

THINK-OVER

Examples could be saving energy.

those who lives in japanese are suffering from a major power shortfall because of stopped nuclear energy plant.

This summer, we are trying hard to save electricity.

i'll take another example,

i separate recyclable from nonrecyclable trash.

THE OTHER THING

recently i renewed a car , and i have a nice drive every weekend.

Let's say(sayだけでも可) , yesterday i went surfing by my car.

it takes 2hours to get there.

we prevent depletion of natural resources such as oil and stop global warming.

it's tough to sacrifice everything convenient to our life such as car.

the important thing i think is to find the way to coexist.

subject : tokyo is the world's most expensive city

teacher :

Summary

based on this title ,

i think this article is written about the result of questionnaire which is more gained support from people.

to buy a house guarantees us living in good part.

but thinking in case of declines of house prices , we can't think of it as good investment.

the other hand, renting can be cheaper.

but renter never gains money from his or her investment.

THINK-OVER

a first idea i read this article is japanese don't define buying a home as financial investments.

that's the deference attitude between america and japan.

(how about fin？）

i think that it's better to rent a home than to buy it.

because i think owing a home has a greater risks.

i come up with mainly two risks.

first risk.

because of company transfer , we can't decide whether we live one place for a long time.

if we changed the other place to live ,we wouldn't know whether we could find renter or not.

second risk.

in many cases we will use home lone when we buy a house.

then , there is risks of restructuring or decrease (decline ,drop ) in come at this Japanese economy's condition.cycle road race

tokyo is the world's most expensive city

2011-08-01T14:04:52Z

subject : tokyo is the world's most expensive city

teacher : winnie

Summary

based on this title ,

i think this article is written about why tokyo is the world's most expensive city.

blommberg businessweek said that japan is the wold's most expensive city , compared the price of food and basic goods and services in cities all over the world.

for example , it cost $21 to eat a quick lunch.

and a movie ticket is nearly $24.

think-over

i checked the city where we need much money to live on the internet.

it listed tokyo in japan, oslo in norway, nagoya in japan, stanbanger in norway　in descending according to price.

it was much surprised for me who living in japan to know it.

when i think about it carefully ,

to be sure , Things may be expensive in Japan.

but the one thing that i want to tell is there is a very broad price range in tokyo.

i mean , if you get a low price on food , you can do.

so , tokyo is not always an inconvenient place to live.

Instead, because you can choose everything at wide range of prices , you'll be a happy to live tokyo.

if i gave advice to traveler in japan ,

the best way to find something less expensive than guidebook says is to follow the college students.

if you do it , you are sure to find good and not expensive Japanese style pubs.

A problem has come up , and i don't fix it yet.

so Tomorrow's going to be a long day.

it's difficult to hear your voice.

the apprentice

2011-07-27T14:21:02Z

subject : the apprentice

teacher : noel , kisse

summary

based on this title ,

i think this article is written about internship program.

but after reading this article , i know the apprentice is a show on TV , so what i think of article is wrong.

the apprentice is a reality television show that originated in the United States on NBC.

and then , it has been produced in other country.

the show depicted 16 contestants competing in an elimination-style competition.

the winning contestant would have the opportunity to get money or to work for his companies.

means

apprentice:a young person who works for an employer for a fixed period of time in order to learn the particular skills needed in their job

contestant:a person who takes part in a contest

think-over

i had never seen the apprentice before reading this article , a while ago i saw it in youtube.

but Unfortunately,i didn't understand what they say.

so when i improve my english skill , i try it again.

checking "the apprentice" on the internet , i know there are many TV programs like this all over the world.

but in japan we don't have it.

that because it reflected by the Japanese character to get around competitions.

for instance , recently schools introduce a more relaxed education policy.

A specific example is we don't rank in marathon at school.

speaking of competition TV show,

the Lost is famous in japan.

subject: english in a month

teacher : kerryanne

Summary

based on this title , i don't have any idea of article.

because i don't understand the relationship between english and sports which is this article theme.

fabio capello is trying to comunicate in english.

so he publicly state that i will speak english in a month.

i don't know the meaning of two parts.

first ,- .

last ,-.

i understand each word is used in this sentence.

dose this sentence mean that the Italian coach is getting really good at teaching soccer?

think-over

speaking of soccer ,

japan defeated the united states in the woman's world cup final.

i am unhappy with watching the game on live TV.

because at the day of the game i had a job , i slept.

i love to play sports, but i dont really like to wach them.

there is exceptions such as world cup and the Olympic games.

Whenever the Olympic Games are held, i cheer with my friend with drinking.

i watch sports on special occasions such as wold cup and the Olympic Games.

as they say , Nothing is impossible to a willing heart.

so i think he believe himself more strongly.

at a time , i think it's very difficult to believe oneself.

There aren't any perfect people.

Nobody has no experience with failure.

that make someone feel vulnerable every once in a while.

"keeping cool or (i) can't complain " experssing your state of health and happiness.

"keeping out of trouble" telling how you have been doing.

i think the best way to comunicate with other people is to talk face to face in same language.

so it's difficult to comunicate with them through translator.

i didn't understand "twisting things" means.

twist means "to bend or turn sth into a particular shape" .

stock phrase

Are you involved in any type of sport?
i try to ride load bike , golf and soccer.

i think this article is written about how you teach rural farmers by using cell phone .

as you know , mobile phones are used extensively for any case like business, medical care , agriculture.

among them , this article is written about use of mobile phone to lives in rural areas.

mobile phone has numerous function like call , check on the internet , see graphics.

concretely speaking,

first , someone make videos to help people in developing countries improve their lives.

then people in rural areas download it and see it with mobile phone.
