Thank you, Jennifer.

Thank you for your comment on my writing.

The way of thinking toward adoption by American citizens shows how the society is open, and dynamic. New human relationships are seemingly being established in this way. What’s more, I think they are attentive to communication among them. All these make me perceive American society’s resiliency in the rapidly changing world. Beside, I notice the nation as a whole keeps oneness. Here exists something important.

Next time I will write something I treasure regarding English learning at this school. Thank you.

Takuma's Thailand

I loved reading your decription of your vacation to Bangkok. I am very interested about your impressions of Thailand. I am planning to go to Thailand this September for vacation. If you have any recommendations about Thailand, I would really appreciate it.

Thank you Isao

I'm so happy to see that so many people are using the Global Communications Blog. Thank you very much for your participation and your wonderful comments.

Thank you, Isao, for your insightful comment about adoption in Japan. Adoption in America has become so trendy, especially with celebrities. I wonder if it will become fashionable in other countries as well?

The amount of focus on respecting the "blood-line" in Japan is very admirable. In America, in my opinion, the family connection is not as tight as in Japan. Family members don't often live close to one another and tend to leave their parents' home at an early age. Many Americans begin to feel their friends or close neighbors are their family members, rather than their "real" family. Perhaps "blood-line" is not such a big deal to Americans.

I wonder what you think about it. I would love to read your comment!

Are we Japanese blood fundamentalists?

I read all the articles carried in ‘Globetrotter, Issue 5.’ It goes without saying that each of them has a lot to learn.

I am going to mention something related to ‘What do you think?’ by Jennifer Yun. (Globetrotter, Issue 5) The subtitle goes like ‘Blood line.’ Adoption by celebrities is a topic. I think adoption has something suggestive of mentality.

Are we Japanese blood fundamentalists?　This is a question to myself.

The followings are some of my observations surrounding adoption.
It seems there is something different between Japanese and Americans. Regarding adoption, Americans are likely to be more positive than we.

For Japanese celebrities, they are possibly not concerned so much about that. Of course, even in the U.S., adoption by celebrities may be something rare. So when it happens to someone well-known and popular, I think it might become a headline.

Generally speaking, Japanese seemingly stick to blood relationship when it comes to families and relatives. In addition, Japanese celebrities and the general public might be losing an interest in raising children who have no blood relationship. This is perhaps a sign that our way of thinking is going away from the spirit of generosity, and self-sacrifice.

Looking at our daily life, I find that the population of Japan is beginning to decrease. This will probably affect the future course of our economy. With this in mind, people are talking much about family with less children. The government is planning some measures. For example, financial aid to people who have babies and young children, or more deregulations on immigrants who have special knowledge and skills.

On the other hand, there are sterile women eager to have their own babies. In most cases, they hit upon going to obstetrician and gynecologist, not adopting someone else’s child.

スクールを探している人へ

　スクール探しは大変で、私自身も相当に回り道をしました。ですから、私のブログを観た方はラッキーです。
１．とにかく？まだ、マネージャを中心に、arrogantさがないことです。あなたも他のスクールで嫌な思いしたことありませんか？私自身も、このスクールのatmosphereが変わったら辞めるでしょう・・・例えばその一端として、質問他のメールは必ず返信されています。
２．この、オンラインスクールの裏テーマは、言語によるthrapyであるそうです。現在、ビジネス中級テキストA,B終了、上級挑戦中。およそ４００回程度も継続できたのもこの辺にあるようです。会話の土台を作っていくには
ultimateに重要です。

My favorite way

Hello everyone!
When I was a student, I didn't like English, but now I enjoy studying English at Gloval Communnications. I like that system very much. Of course it is very good to take a lesson on one-to-one. And also I can take journal proofreading. Sometimes I send my journal. Teacher correct my mistakes and give me some comments and advice. It is wonderful practice for me.
I would like to continne to study English in my own good time.

My experience

I've been studying English for about 6 years at Global Communications. At first, I couldn't speak English at all, but because of their teachers, my English skill has improved dramatically since then.

I like the system that allows me to talk one-on-one with their teachers. I'm shy so if I go to a regular English school, I can never improve my English skill like this.　And also the e-test is really helpful for me. I take the test almost everyday and if I find the words that I don't know, I write them down and review them after the test. It really works. At first, my e-test score was around 400, but now my maximum score is 850.

I really appreciate Global Communications and their teachers. Someday I want to live or stay for a long time in Canada so I keep studying harder at this English school
