My mother often asks me, “What is your dream?” It’s her habit. I usually answer, “I haven’t decided yet.” Since I was a child, I have various kinds of dreams which I want to be. As I grew up, it’s hard to decide my dream because it’s not a reality but an ideal. Now, I’m 20 years old. I have to look for my regular job and I must decide which jobs match me. I still haven’t decided about a job. Below are three of my ideal dreams.
The first one is working overseas. This is the best ideal dream for me. When I was in elementary school, I went to Hawaii with my family. At the hotel desk, a Japanese woman was working there. She looked bright and her life seemed to have a sense of fulfillment there. I thought I really wanted to be like her. Now, I’m studying in Canada and I strongly suppose I want to work in foreign countries more than before. I can’t speak English well, so it’s not easy for me, but I have a possibility to do this.
The second one is working as a career woman. I have longed for this work since I was a junior-high school student because my aunt’s job is like this. This work needs a lot of intelligence and a lot of time. If I have this work, I have to sacrifice myself for the work, for example, I can’t meet with my friend or family frequently or it’s hard to have a family. However, I feel pride in this job. All my staff must respect me and I will become a necessary person for the company. Also, if I get this job, my mother may be really happy and she will be very proud of me. I want to be a dutiful person to my parents, so this work is a kind of my filial piety.
The third one is being like my mother. She is a beautician and my house is a beauty salon. When she was 20 years old, I was born. She did housework and her work at the same time. When I heard her life story so far, I really have respected her. It’s not easy to have kids for such a young lady. I can’t do like her. On the other hand, I want to spend my life like her. She looks very happy now though she had a difficult time in her twenties. She really enjoys her life. For example, buying fashionable clothes because she is young, obtaining some qualifications like a massage therapist, and falling in love with a young guy because my parents already divorced. She is getting more active as she gets older and older.
That’s why I have three types of dreams now. Anyway, I really like my mother, so I want her to be happy. I would like to live with her in the future. I don’t want to regret my decision about my future. However, I can challenge anything that I want to do because I’m young now. Therefore, the most important thing is don’t be afraid of failing. I can plan my dreams step by step and not be in a hurry.

Friends I Have Had
by jimin lee
What kinds of friends do you have? In my opinion, a friend is the most important person in our life except family. In addition, what kinds of friends you have are also important because people can change their personality by friends. I think male friends also influence female friends. Some people say men and women can’t be friends but I don’t think so. I have many male friends and I get along with them as friends. So I’d like to divide friends into gender. Of course I have male and female friends. Maybe you also have both, and like them. Sometimes we need female friends and we also need male friends. I think we need both and they make us happy. So I’ll talk about my male and female friends.
First, I have female friends. Actually I have more female friends than male friends, and my best friends are also female, because I went to girls middle and high school. When I need to chat with someone, I usually call them, and chat with them or go to a cafe. We talk about school, a boyfriend, and worries. After chatting, I can feel pleasure. Sometimes girls have some worry that they can’t tell male friends. When I need some advice about it, I tell female friends, and I can solve the problem. I have a friend with whom I have had a friendship for 16 years. As I have some worry, I always tell her. In addition, I go shopping with my female friends and I can refresh myself. However, I don’t like to go shopping with male friends. Actually it’s very uncomfortable to go shopping with male friends, because usually men don’t like to go shopping for a long time. When I go shopping with male friends, they always press me for sitting somewhere. On the other hand, as I go shopping with female friends, I can browse and compare many stores and ask them about clothes. If I ask male friends about clothes, they answer, “Good,” because they just want to go back home. So as I want to do something usually girls like, or I want to talk about girl’s problems, I usually meet female friends.
Second, I also have male friends. If you have male friends, you might know men are so cool. Even though I am a woman, I think women are so sensitive, and we have too much jealousy. If some girls are loved more or have good things like clothes, others are jealous them. However, men are not jealous of women. So as I meet male friends, I don’t need to worry about it. In addition, they are kind to women, and they don’t care about many things. So, sometimes male friends are more comfortable than female friends. I can do whatever I want. Moreover, as I have a boyfriend, I can get advice from male friends. I usually get advice from female friends, but as I have problems about a boyfriend, male friends are better than female friends because men know men. They might understand my boyfriend, but female friends can’t understand him; they just understand me. Moreover, sometimes I need help from men. In this situation, of course I call my male friends. They don’t hesitate, and help me. Sometimes just friends become a boyfriend but it’s not usual, and I think if he is a really nice guy, just friend is better than boyfriend, because we can meet for a long time.
Actually gender is not important. Personality and match with me are the most
important things, even though we need female or male friends in different cases. I have good friends who I can call or meet whenever I want, so I don’t need anything anymore. If you don’t have really good friends, first, make an effort to be a good friend to them. Maybe they will also become good friends. Don’t separate female and male; anyone can be good friends. As you have good friends, you can be happy, like me.

How to Get a Boyfriend
By Carrie Yun
Consider the fact that November 11 is Remembrance Day in Canada, and that is Pepero day in Korea, on which Pepero cookies (in Canada, it is called Pocky) are exchanged between lovers. People who are single don’t like this season, from November to December, because when Pepero day is finished, that means that Christmas and New Year’s Day are coming. Nobody wants to spend time with just their friends in these special times. There are many people, especially girls, who want to get their sweetheart, but girls usually think it is too difficult to get a boyfriend because if a boy doesn’t ask for a date first, they don’t want to ask no matter how good he is. However, getting boyfriend is so easy if you follow three major steps.
First of all, before you try to meet a nice boy, it is important how you appear. Boys like a gorgeous lady as girls like a handsome and cute boy. Lose your weight if you think you need to and dress up clearly. In addition, before you go out to meet someone, practice a tender smile although you feel somewhat awkward. If you smile sweetly and dress up stylishly, people will pay attention to your beautiful looks. However, if you make up your face too much, boys will think it would be difficult to ask you. Also, make your own sweet smell instead of a perfume which makes people hesitant to approach to you. Even if you are not prettier than others, you don’t need to get a plastic operation and buy expensive clothes. You need to show your own charm.
Second, just staying home, you will never get a boyfriend. If you have done the first step, you should try to meet and make many friends. Meeting people is not as difficult as you think. These are places that you can meet many people: schools especially in the class, part time jobs, hobby clubs, and online. Class mates or job friends could be people who spend a long time with you. As you are with them, you can have a lot of talk and help each other when it is needed. Taking part in a hobby club is also good for meeting people because there are many people who have the same hobby as you. Make as many friends as you can, and show your great personality and gorgeous appearance. Lots of good boys would fall in love with you. Moreover, even if a friend would not be your sweet heart, he can introduce his good friend to you, like a blind date.
Finally, if you meet the perfect person who you really wanted to meet, things you do when you are with him are very important. Don’t be afraid to ask for a date or phone number before he does. Even though you feel little shy, the man will be very happy if you ask for those first. When you have supper with him, don’t eat too much, but try not to have an unbalanced diet. In addition, you had better listen to his chat than talk continuously and brag about what you have. Let him feel comfortable while he is talking. When you talk, speak kindly and clearly, and you must not say bad words. Sometimes, drinking with him would be a good way if you are stuck for words because drinking helps people feel relaxed. However, don’t forget you should not drink too much if you don’t want to look a heavy drinker.
These three steps are useful suggestions when you want to meet a boyfriend. Before showing your attraction, you should realize you are really a gorgeous person. If you have thought that you are not, there would be one more step that suggests “love yourself first.” From this Christmas, I wish all people of the world would fall in love and love each other. If they do, the world would be full of a rosy color.

How to Get a Boyfriend
By Sanae Fukuda
In Japan, the population is aging and the birthrate declining. The Japanese government tries to counteract the falling birthrate, but I think that young Japanese are not interested in marriage.

First, the most important thing is that we have to find a good partner. Therefore, I will tell about how to get a good boyfriend. If you refer to this essay, you may find a good boyfriend.
The first thing is that when and where you have opportunities that you can find a boyfriend. First of all, you have to go to many places where there are many men, such as cafés, parties, shops, or part time jobs. You will be able to choose a good man among many men. Especially, at part time jobs it is easy to get a boyfriend because we have to cooperate with each other, so we will talk a lot. Then you will feel that he is nice if he helps you, or he is kind.
The next thing is getting close to him. First, you may already have information about him, such as his name or where he always stays. Next, you have to research about him, such as profile, hobby, and what kinds of girls he likes. You can ask his friends, or you look at him very carefully, such as his behavior, his meal, his stuff, or what kinds of talk topics he talks. Third, you have to make the most of that information, so you will be able to find common topics, and then you have to sit closely and talk with him a lot. However, if you only talk about topics that he likes a lot of time, he will be scared of you.
Even though you don’t talk with him, you can do many things such as send e-mail, go into his view, and study about how you look beautiful that is how to make up, or lose weight. Finally, you have to ask him out. When you date, you have to make up, but don’t make up too much. You also wear clothes which are pretty and cute. You can go to his favorite place or your favorite place. After you finish the date, you have to e-mail and say thanks for your kindness, enjoyed my time and so on. If he was not nice on this date, you don’t need to send e-mail.
The most important thing is that you have to say your mind. I recommend you have to meet with him, and then you have to say exact words which are like “I love you.” You also can wait for the time that he says to you, “I love you.” Either one is okay!
Christmas is coming soon, so if you don’t have a boyfriend, you had better find one. Then, you can enjoy Christmas. I hope that everyone can have a good Christmas. After you enjoy Christmas with your boyfriend for several years, you have to think about marriage. If you guys really love each other, you want to marry to him. Then, you have kids if you like kids.

Christmas is less than two months away so many girls want to get a boyfriend for a happy Christmas. People hope to be with someone they love during Christmas, like family, friends or boyfriend. Usually young people want to be with their boyfriend. However some people don’t want to be with them because some people may cool off love for their boyfriend or some people want to be with their family or friends. In addition, some people are sick of their boyfriend. Maybe they want to know how to lose a boyfriend so now I’ll provide information about it. Actually it’s very easy, if you follow these steps.
First of all, lie to him. The most important thing of a relationship is reliance so if you always lie to him, and he knows it, he can’t believe you anymore.

How to Make Up after Arguing
by Gayane Ambaryan
We are not always perfect. We can’t be patient and control our emotions. Sometimes arguments just happen. It’s always hard to understand why they start and find ways to make up. Some people can do that easier, maybe just after arguing, but others need more time to cool off because of pride issues. So it depends on a person. What do you have to do if you’ve argued with your friend, or someone close to you? What should you undertake in situations like that? Maybe just call and apologize or do something else. We’ll find out it in this essay.
First of all, calm down and take a deep breath. Relax. It’s not so easy and sometimes takes a little time. After you calmed down, think about what led up to this argument and the reasons behind your reaction. If you did something wrong, make sure to point to your mistakes. In a different situation could your reaction be different? Give the other person time to cool off; he /she needs time to think over the situation too.
After you analyzed the incident, try to do something to fix the situation. First, call him/her up and try to talk it out and point to your mistakes. It’s always hard to find words in such situations but you can find some for sure. Be sure to ask the other person how he/she feels. If the person is still angry, ask what you can do to make it up. Be patient, control your emotions and don’t argue again, and try to find ways to fix the problem.
Then you can suggest a meeting and try to apologize. It may be the best way to make up and fix the situation. Sometimes it’s best to apologize as soon as you make a mistake, but there are times when you need to wait until you and the other person are no longer angry or in the middle of the argument. Only you are able to evaluate the situation. However, the sooner you apologize, the better. If you are apologizing, make sure to take responsibility for what you did wrong.
So, we tried to find the ways how to make up after arguing: analyzing the situation, calling up and talking and/or maybe trying to meet and apologize. It all depends on your personality and can take a long time, sometimes a few months or maybe longer. Be patient and always careful with your words. After apologizing for something, try to do your best never to do it again.

The Causes of Illiteracy
by Sanae
There are many people who don’t have literacy in the world. For example, Benin has the highest illiteracy. Illiteracy is at 39.8%; next to Benin is Senegal at 41.0%. By way of comparison, Canada’s illiteracy is 8.0%, and Japan's is 0.3%. I think this problem isn’t only in these countries where people don’t have literacy, but also all over the world. Therefore, we have to help these countries. If we go there and teach, that is very difficult for us, but we can raise money or think about this problem, and then we look for cure for this problem. Some countries’ people don’t have opportunities to study. In fact, there are a lot of causes of illiteracy.
One of the reasons is that they suffer from poverty. First, they don’t have a job. Even if they have a job, they can’t earn enough money. Therefore, some families think that children are labor force, especially boys. Employers also think that because kids’ wage is cheaper than adults', they can hire them. Girls marry young because in some countries, if a daughter marries, the girl’s family can get money from the husband or husband’s family. Therefore, their parents think that girls don’t need to go to school. Girls have to do house works instead. Some girls also have a baby when they are young, so they don’t have time to they go to school. In addition, they can’t buy school supplies. They can’t even eat enough food.
The next reason is war. First, a war makes poverty. Next, children can’t go to school safely. Third, some people think that the most important thing is to win the war, so they also think children are military strength. In my opinion, if they fight in the war, they will lose their dream because they can’t see their good future. Therefore, they think they don’t need to study.
The biggest reason is government systems. First, the government doesn’t make much of education. If there are some schools, these are only in cities, so children who live in the countryside have to walk a lot. That is very difficult and dangerous for children, especially grade 1 to 4.
The most important thing is that the education system must change. First, a government has to make a law that obliges citizens to study until middle school. Second, the government especially has to solve the problem for children who live in the countryside. For example, make transportation or send a teacher who can get money more than a city teacher.
Finally, everyone who lives in poverty has to change their thinking, especially parents. I hope that every child can study and have a dream because children have great possibilities and a great future. We have to support them and give them a great future.

The Impact of Earthquakes
By Satomi Yanagi
In recent years, earthquakes have happened in Japan more than any other country, including China, Australia and so on. If earthquakes happen, people can’t avoid them. Because the destructive power is terrible, unfortunately, nature, structures and people suffer from earthquakes.
About two years ago, in China, a big earthquake happened. The most impressive scene was the mountain range that totally disappeared. The cliffs slid down and the trees were broken after that. It was terrible. We couldn’t see the beautiful mountain like before. We could only see rocks and earth. Many people got buried under the earth and died. In the case of Sumatra, a big wave called “Tsunami” came after the earthquake. People ran trying to escape that. However the speed of a tsunami was faster than they had imagined. Unfortunately the tsunami took away houses, cars, and human lives.
Second of all, structures are damaged from earthquakes. On January 17th, 1995, the Hanshin Awaji earthquake happened in Kansai region. During the earthquake, the air was very dry; as a result, fires happened in many places. Fire trucks tried to go there; however, roads were covered with debris. Moreover, many media vehicles disturbed fire trucks and people who ran away. Even if houses weren’t burned, they were seriously damaged. The roofs fell down, and furniture was destroyed.
The influence of earthquakes on people’s minds is the most important problem. People who lost their houses have to live at evacuation sites. At evacuation sites, they can’t sleep well because a lot of people live there so it is noisy and unsanitary; moreover, they don’t have enough space to take in a lot of casualties. After they live at there, someone goes to makeshift housing. Unfortunately, the majority of them to go there are elders. They have to live by themselves without enough money. In addition, dying alone becomes a social problem. Sometimes, they aren’t found until few weeks after they die.
Earthquakes take away everything. Even if people are saved, they might lose their family, house, or precious items. In Japan, houses which can change the power of earthquakes into heat energy have been invented. However the power of earthquakes is incalculable. If a big earthquake happens, we have no way to avoid it.

The Benefits of Learning English
By Ryuka Sagawa
My parents can’t speak English. My mother said, “A foreigner came to my salon the
other day, but I can’t communicate with him.” She couldn’t understand what he said. Some people can speak English very well, and others can’t understand it. Nowadays, many young people have been learning English since they were in junior high school. English is one of the most important means of communication in our life.
First, English is the international language in the world. In Japan, English is a compulsory subject. All junior-high school students must study English at school. In addition, some kids learn English at cram school from early childhood. If you know some English words, you can communicate with most people all over the world.
Second, if you have a high skill of English, you can work all over the world. Some big companies have a foreign business. It’s a big chance for you to rise to managerial posts. However, this work needs English skill. If you have high qualifications, you may choose as a delegate of the company to go abroad. It’s your success at work.
Third, English helps you to make a lot of friends in various countries. Recently, many students went to some foreign countries and studied there. They make friends in various countries at the university. The friends show you their world view. Your friends tell you about some cultures of their own countries and you also tell them about that. Making friends is good for you to know various cultures and traditions. It’s the biggest benefit of learning English.
Consequently, English leads you to a new way that you have never seen before. Though it’s not easy to learn English, you may get many chances to broaden your horizons.
