BE SAFE & HAVE A GOOD WEEKEND!

Q2 .I agree with his opinion. First of all, everyone(of course including me) is addicted to information from the internet, eventhough we don’t know if it is true or not, because so many different kinds of informationabout one topic, for example. Second of all, nowadays, even “little kids” areusing smartphone and always getting their attention to their smartphone’sscreens, so I think they are communicating with their friends or family isgetting less and less. It is very serious problem because communication is veryimportant in our life, for example, when we want to get a job, we go to a job
interview. But they cannot tell the interviewer what they are thinking and so on.

But what if we get rid of our screens? Just get information from our reality that we are facing in our life, instead. We can get to know more about many interesting things more closely, and morerealistically.And, “We” can be information. For example, we go walk outside and feel the nature where we live, and then if we get some thought or feeling, we can share with our children, friends, family, and so on. That means we can communicate with eachother, by getting distance from screens.

My happiness is quite simple. My happiness is stay safe with my family, friends, and my around people. Safe means not be poverty, not be quarrel, and not be war (I don’t have experience war but I think war is not make happy for normal people.). However, I don’t think be so much richer because I think I can’t solve all problem If I have a lot of money. Speaker said people feel happiness when they stay with natural. Actually, I agree that. For example, when I sit on the beach then see the ocean with my friends, I also feel happy because I think natural things make me feel “Peace”. When I feel “Peace” I also feel happiness.

The speaker believes that "Reality is richer than screens." Do you agree/disagree? Why?

I agree “Reality is richer then screens.” For example when I come o Malaysia, I really miss my friends in Japan. So I always call them by videophone. But when I go back Japan I can see my friends in real. Of cause I was enjoyed to talk with them on screen in Malaysia. However, I feel more fun to talk with my friends in real. My opinion is face to face make more fullfiling time. So that’s why I agree “Reality is richer than screens”.

Along with the
development of the people’s living standard, all of people strive for
happiness. So, how can make people happy? It is natural things. According to
the speaker, I agree with his said your phone is not very natural. Exactly, phone
gives us many conveniences, and we often get lots of information from our phone
but it is not natural. What is natural thing? It should be your experience. For
example, happiness is that you enjoy breakfast with your family every morning
rather than just get some news from your phone.

In my opinion, I
am a student, and I am staying in a strange country where so far from my
homeland. So I hope to have more time talking with my mother and father that is
my happiness. However I can talk with them by video charting. But I hope to talk
with my family members face to face. This is the biggest happiness foe me. The
phone gives us a lot of benefits, but it can not give us happiness. We need experience
more natural things rather than get more information.

In summary, from
my point of view, I think reality is richer than screens. We should get more
chance to enjoy natural things. Your life will be better.

(2)I agree the speakers"Reality is richer than screens." On interne have a lot of information and online search really conveniently and has many benefits.But the internet waold is virtual, between reality and internet have a layer of insulation screen and we can't touch it.the information on the net also have false.For example, a very interesting thing, a group of friends tell you, you all laughing and happy together,Or you also find this interesting thing on the Internet, youself laugh it off, by contrast, which is more better?The answer is obvious.The network is virtual, it can replace part of people's life not whole.It can't instead of the communication of the mind.

I agree with the theory. Babies can acquire knowledges from the outside anytime they want becaue they know nothing how they live, speak, and so on, so they try to learn everything from us, adults. After babies born, we try to speak babies like, hello, or how are you,for example. And then babies try to understand and acquire languages from  adults because babies are not "culture-bound listeners". It doesn't matter what the language comes from. They can discriminate every languages because their brains want babies to get used to ''the world", not only one country. And also , why babies can discriminate every language is that babies are preparing for learning, like linguistics or mathmatics at school or somewhere.  From these reasons, I agree with the theory.

2. Who is better language learner, child or adult?

I think children is much better language learner.  I am learning English as a foreign language for about six years or more. I often memorize english words with a book, watch western movies with japanese subtitles, and listen to western music. but I easily forget the words I memorized. That is because that I dont have any opportunity to use in my life. I use my native language, japanese. And English words have a lot of words that have very similar pronunciations like right and light. It is very difficult to discriminate for me. I  always struggle with the problem. Even if I listen to these to words to discrimante, when it comes to talk with people in english,  I cannot discriminate.

On the other hand, babies can acquire almost everything about languages from everywhere. I have a nephew, he is only 5 years old now.  He is learning English but not at school. His mother teaches him English.

One day, I visited his house, and chatted with his mother.When it comes to talk about English with her, he suddenly came to me, and he spoke some in English, and surprisingly he said some words which he didn't learn from his mother yet. His mother wondered how did he learn the word? I asked him that where did he learn from and he asked that he learnd from me.  he heared me speaking english long time ago.

that is why he could speak the word. I was very surprised because I used the word only one time but he memorized..

from these reasons, I think children is better language learner than adult.

 I agree this theory. I think so we get knowledge from the outside world. An occasion for children, especially they get knowledge from their parents. We can’t create knowledge. Knowledge have to need basis and basis should be from outside world.I think better language learner is children. Actually, I have never studied foreign language when I was child. I started to study English in high school. It is 3 years ago. However, my one of friends, she can speak English very smoothly because she have been studying English when she was baby. So that’s why I think better language learner is children. If you can learn foreign language from you was baby, you can’t forget that knowledge. But I think adult language learner is not bad. Because now, I really happy to study foreign language. Children must be better language learner but I

can feel more happiness to learning than children.

1. I am in favor of this theory. We get all information from outside world. Our brains start blank when we were born. So we need learned walking, eating and speaking from our parents. We imitate sounds of our parents. Along with our growth, we get
more and more knowledge from outside world.

2. According to the video, I think children are better language learner. One reason that it seems that children acquire a second language quicker than adults is because of babies learn a language is imitation of subconscious without stress and benefit. As
well as they have better understanding and receptivity. They have easier to adapting the pronunciation of a language. So they can learn it very well and fast. But adults are different. It is difficult to they learn a second language. Because their pronunciation is settled and imitative ability is very inferior. They always have more difficult to adapting the pronunciation of a foreign language.

All in all, I am certain children learn a language better than adults. However, children whose process of learn a language that is different from adults.

BE SAFE & HAVE A GREAT BREAK.

Along with the development of the society, sexuality is always talked about by people as an exoteric theme. Children’s sexual education has been brought to our attention. This is a very important stage for children.

According to the video and article, I agree with that we need to expose children on sexual education as early as primary school. It is not only protection for them but  also an education for their growth. Children are curious and they want to get information about sexuality. If you do not tell them, they can get it from other place as magazines or other people even internet. Generally, sexual education will help you a lot. You really will know what kind of things you can do or not. If you are schools, you can not tell your children “I don’t want to tell you some things about sex”. Actually, if you are schools, perhaps if you can try prepare for a model with your children; tell them what is it and how to mate with each other, girl and boy. In fact, you should tell them that illegal to them, and then hope they are able to take it seriously and do not happensomething about it. I think that it was very useful to help your children know
everything.

In China, we do not have sexual education in our school. As everyone knows, China is a historic country with lots of old conventions. As a traditional country, of course sexual education will not be selected into the school syllabus. However, sexual education is very important a part of the school syllabus that will improve our knowledge about sexuality.

From my point of view, it is positive for children to accept sexual education in school. But school should pays attention to how to teach children about sexuality that we can not give them much more information at once. We should tell them increasingly.

 Pregnancy rate who are children is getting higher and higher these days, in japan, and another countries. I think that is because we don't learn anything about sexuality thing from children. Adults know about sexuality such as only men has a penis, for example. Even if adults take conversation about sexuality thing, it is not weird or strang. But, on the contrary, what if chldren take conversation about such a thing? We must be think "it is very embarrassing and weird for children totalk such a topic, becasue they are still "children'' ". Usually, asults think that children should not know or learn about sexuality thing because "too early". But, because of  their ignorance of sexuality things,  young age pregnancy is higher and higher these days. but, if children learn about sexuality from primary school, that problem would be solved. It would be both education anf protection from crimes and young pregnancy.

When I was in junior high school(8th grade), we had sex education, but the class was separated by gender. I don' know what boys learned in the class. Welearnd about how our body created, how we get pregnant, how many months take until we born a child, how dangerous to have sex on young age, and how to protect to pregnant from sex.

（1）I agree with this point.The primary school student is in an ignorant age, they need to learn many things and curious for new things,they also have the courage to try them.And the most knowledge is the teacher teach them.

（2）Now teenager's adolescence compared to the past is in advance, so it is necessary to expand sex education for primary school student.Some girls because of the lack of knowledge of menstruation feel scare after menstruation comeing, some of them even cry.We can't wait for problems happened to education children.I remember have a sex education research to thousands of students before,the results showed that only 56% of boys know what is spermatorrhea, only 73% of girls know what is menstruation.It is important to notice that only 12% of the students understand the secondary sex characteristic of adolescence.It is easy to see the lack of sexual knowledge. （3）Because of lack of education, many students to steal taste "forbidden fruit" and the result is early in the pregnancy.Some obstetrics and gynecology doctors said that in recent years holidays the number of students have an abortion are increasing and the characteristics of the present age, the smallest only 14 years old. "Teenager sex in advance is an unavoidable question at present.If we do not pay attention to this problem it will hurt children and their families.

Second question：

In my country i never have sex education as part of the school syllabus.Because china is a very traditional country until now.So people's thought are more conservative, we can't talk about sex with each other without shame including teacher and Education Bureau never have rule about school must teach students the knowledge of sex.As you know,China's education is very nervous,we have a lot of homework and 12 hours of classes a day, pressure is very heavy, If we have this kind class, teacher also must":A lot of China's education is very nervous, homework, 12 hours of classes a day, pressure is very heavy, even if have this kind of class, the teacher also mustn't teach you and prefer to Maths、English、physics and some examination subjects that is why sex education classes will not appear in Chinese school.

FIRST QUESTION. 1, but firstly i say sex is always a taboo in every society. first the child is been thought sex education at home first. i don`t think sex education is been thought or should be thought in school. so i disagree. cause let me say in primary school the children are not exposed to various adult movies or action (sex freak that is what i called that),Because the kids in primary school know nothing like no sign of "puberty" so they don`t thing about anything. so i disagree sex education should be teach or thought in primary school in my country is not done in primary school. 2.let me say when i was exposed to sex education in my country was in high school because high school puberty has occurred in every child in high school. but unfortunately i was not exposed to mixed school so the rate of sex life for me is 0% cause my school was a single boys high school.but when i was in primary school it was not in my syllabus.talking about sex life or sex education i have no point or view about it , cause i don`t attend mixed school really is hard for me to talk but i think sex life should be expose to teenagers mostly cause they most be convince or deceived by peer group influence. 3. but i think the teenagers should be more educated about this topic SEX cause some of them make like to taste it out.but this subjected when treated in class most student find it interesting to listing to but for me i don`t cause my school most teachers jumped these topic i have just little to say about it.

Maybe cause we where full of boys they thought no mixed gender among us so most times they jumped it.

 My country is accepted marriage from 16 years old who permitted by parents, by low. but, most of japanese girls who got married such a young age often get some negative opinion from elder people, friends or even  their parents. The reason why they have negative opinion about child marriage is that until 20 years old, they are treated as ''teenager", and they don't know how to glow up kids, earn money, live on their own. Although in japan we are accepted young marriage, some people have ne gative thoughts on their mind.

2. What would be the reasons behind the culture of child marriage?

The reason why child marriage is common is that their tradition and culture. And also how their education system creates, and gender-prejudices. And according to the attached article, in Bangladesh, 73 percent of girls get marry until they turn 18 years old, so if a girl don't get marry in child age like 15 or 16, elder people say to girls that they affair to get marry, stuburn, or don't respect their own tradtions, and cultures. It is totally gender discrimination. And also, they believe that child marriage pretect many girls fro sexual violences.

3. Would you agree with ~~~

Yes I agree with the idea. Children didn't finish their education yet. Despite their ignorance of marrige, how to grow up child, and so on, getting marry who is child is very risky. because they got marry and got pregnant in spite of they don't get well educated. And aslo once they got married, their dreams, hopes destroy suddenly because the have to focus on their family. They cannot do what they want. One more thing is that children are only just children. They never knowhow to get along with their husband. so as the wman tell us in TED, first marriage never continue so long.

It means, young girls have to grow their kids on their own. It must be very tiring and hard thing for them. In addition, they don't get well educated, they don't know how to get along with society. these reaons, this kind of marriage never help their living from in poverty.

My Topic is Japanese hospitality culture (Omotenashi in japanese)

I proud of my culture ''omotenashi=hospitality" because when friends of mine from foreign countries came to Japan, they impressed japanese "omotenashi". But japanese Omotenashi still is not known well in overseas, so, by telling about japanese omotenashi, I want many people to know about it, and I want to spread my culture that I proud of.

2 What japanese hospitality make them feel impressive?

 a.I interviwed some friends of mine from overseas about japanese hospitality. and they all said that japanese toilet is very implessive ( I will show you some pictures of toilet. )  

 b. One of friends of mine stayed at "旅館(Ryokan)=Japanese traditional hotel" when he came to japan. And he said that the Ryokan is very famous in tourists from overseas, they called the Ryokan "The hotel which Ninja is exsist". Why the hotel is called like that? I will talk about it.

3. Where japanese hospitality comes from?

a. Japanese people think important this sentence "一期一会(Ichigo Ichie) " it means that treasure every meeting. and I wil talk about the details.

b. Japanese  hospitality can never be attained with manual alone.

Conclusion

Every country have their own hospitality, and I wanted to talk how japanese hospitality is kinda different from other countries.  I hope that I could everyone makes feel interest of my country.

Introduction:There are many people in china and it has the most population in the world,so it must leads many problems,then i want to talk about the problems.

1The history of overpopulation in china. 

2Why overpopulation can leads to so many problems.

3The influence of these problems in our life.

4Some solutions government using for those problems.

5My own points about how to solve the problems.

Conclusion: Although overpopulation cause so many problems,but i think one day we can solve the problems completely in the future.

Introduction:

Along with the development of the people’s living standard, the issue of the haze is more and more seriously. It has been brought to our attention.

Thesis Statement:

Haze is a global problem. Lots of countries are faced with it. There are three major factors would be taken into my opinion that main reason, the harm and preventive
measures.

Body:

Main Idea 1

The first main reason of haze is human factor. We have lots of cars and factories. Their off-gases result in haze. Another reason is climatic factor. The particle suspend in
atmosphere which can not be diffused by wind.

Main Idea 2

The haze looks like very mild but there are many fine particles and poisonous substances that are harmful to human body, environment and traffic.

Main Idea 3

There are some preventive measures in the haze that reduce open the window, wear a mask when go outside, light diet and drink more water.

Conclusion:

The haze is a global problem it is very terrible. If we do not pay more attention to this
problem, probably the Earth will not adapt to people to living. So we must
dispose of haze carefully.

China is an old country. In Chinese ancient society, it is very common phenomenon to the young people get married before they 18 years old. Actually, if you were 18 years old, but you still did not get married. Your parents would be anxious. However it is just in ancient. At current China, we can not accept the young people who get married before 20 to girls and get married before 22 to boys in the city. Because of normal young people who still study in school when they are 16 years old. They are not ready for organize a family, take care of a baby and even they do not have ability to keep a family. If they get married how can they live in this society? They do not have experience to daily life that they will get setback in every thing. Then their family will
be broken. So in my opinion, I can not accept child marriage.

B.What would be the reasons behind the culture of child marriage?

Child marriage is a wrong thing. But it still happens in a lot of areas as in India, Africa, the Middle East and South Asia. These areas are very poverty even some family
have many children. They do not have enough money to bring up their children and
also some parents of child marriage are for boy gives them some money. So they
can but give their daughter to be married with other boy when the girls are
around 16 years old. This phenomenon almost only appears in developing country.

C. Would you agree with the idea?

In my opinion, I will disagree with this idea. I do not think this kind of marriage actually saves the child from living in poverty. Child marriage can not change poverty and every thing. Millions of girls get married before 18 years old by the mind of their parents all around the world every year. Of course their children get married whose patents will save themselves living in poverty. But how can the children living in the society? They do not have ability to earn more money for keep family and even keep their baby. It is only can make them more poverty to get married too early. So there is only one way to change their life, it is make a law to keep the children get married after 18, and then let them accept a well education.

BE SAFE & HAVE A GOOD WEEKEND

a. Actually, I really don’t like Mathematics

because they are too difficult for me. When I was Elementary school. I really didn’t understand what math teacher said and also I really didn’t understand why people should study math. But now I watched this video and I read this article, my mind have been changing. In our life, we not have to use difficult mathematics formulas when we live in the world. We don’t need solve a cubic equation everyday. Because we are not mathematician. However we need solve a little bit mathematics problems for example, how much this price of commodity or which is cheaper this commodity or that commodity. And also video said we can use mathematics which line is better when you go to shopping in supermarket. So I think mathematics can help our life more comfortable. So that’s why important to learn math in school.

b. I use to think mathematics doesn’t connect with language but actually, after read this article, I think there are connections between mathematics and language. In childhood, we learn how to count numbers like language. It is kind of mathematic. So it relationship between mathematic and language in process of how to learn.

c. Actually I don’t know very much about that but in Japan, people have image that is mathematics student smarter than language student. I think mathematics student can get more difficult and logical job than language student. For example a person doing research of famous company. So, probably science graduates contribute more to the country than language graduates. It is true. It happens in my country too, but I think educational syllabus don’t focuses more on science than language. In my case, I really don’t like mathematics, chemistry, and science, so I always choose like languages course or humanities course. But I have never felt mathematics is better than these course for me. I’m really satisfaction about education environment in my country.

B. There are connections between mathmatic and language. Language is very important if you take educations. Wa cannot do anything without language. And, according to the attached article, the language a child speaks affects the rate at which they learn number words, also that hearing number words in naturalistic speech-- is a critical part of number word learning. It means that language provide you really rich cues to number meaning.

C i. Yes it happens in my country because if the government or school give scholarship students who are genius of math or science, they can grow the students who will be contributing their country or even the world because science crate this world..

C ii. Yes we focus more science than languages. Because science can create the world. The world is getting more and more developing by chemistry and science. On the contrary, language can be translated by anything. Even if we are not good at languages, we can communicate.

But science can contribute our own country more and it helps this whole world, perhaps. So my country more focus on science than language.

(C)-I Our country does not have this kind of situation, our country's education policy is the comprehensive development, does not favor the science student or the liberal arts student. Get scholarships are by virtue of the study results, the scholarship of them is almost the same. Science students have the Olympic math competition but language students also can join the composition and speech contest. I think science students and language students must be different.For example, playing digital camera, language students concerned about the effect of what the machine is good and how to shoot out the effect is good, the focus of the whole thing is concerned about the things. Science students would like to analyze the internal structure of the machine, such as the CCD element, in order to its composition, what effect will be achieved, what is the limit. This is the two different ways of thinking. But they can take a good picture. (II)My country educational syllabus does not focuses more on sciences more than language.Science and technology are the first productive forces. Every progress of human society is accompanied by the progress of science and technology. Especially the rapid development of modern science and technology, the development of social productive forces and human civilization has opened up a wider space. The rapid development of science and technology achievements of the Chang'e-1, let the Chinese nation for thousands of years the zodiac and eventually became a real human can finally free to fly in the vast sky; the rapid development of science and technology achievements of the production automation, the liberation of repetitive mechanical labor and large amounts of data to calculate the people's hands, humanity finally can freely enjoy life; the rapid development of science and technology achievements of the modern communication tools, let apart million in people's communication barrier free, human beings can finally free to zero distance communication. But the development of language is the same, one is the communication tool, the two is the thinking tool. Meaning: there is no language, people communicate with each other, each other can not exchange ideas, contact will be interrupted, the community can not carry out the production activities, the society will collapse. Obviously, language is very important for human society. So I think that for a country, science and language are complementary and indispensable, so it is no need to focuse more on science.If have something wrong please forgive me.^-^

A. Why is it important to learn Mathematics in school?

Along with the development of the society, people always focus on studying between our growths. We began to study mathematics from we began to study until now. Why we study mathematics for a long time. There are two reasons. One of which is mathematics is important to our life, and it is everywhere in our life. We need use mathematics in many ways such as if we want build a building that engineer need draw a design drawing and worker must measure data. So they need use mathematics knowledge. And also, merchant need use mathematics to manage financial affairs. Another reason which is any subject is basis of mathematics. Every subject need use
mathematical knowledge such as architecture, medicine and management. It follows that it important to learn mathematics in school.

B. Are there connections between Mathematics and language?

Language is basis of any knowledge whether you want learn any subject, so you must learn language well at first. Only when you learned language well, then you can understand any subject as well as mathematics. If you have nice language ability, you can understand the question of mathematics easier. This is about language. And
more, for mathematics, along with the social development and progress, we need
more and more mathematical linguistics in our life. Many kinds of statistical graph and mathematical symbol convey lots of information to citizens such as the stock quotations, interest with profit and air quality index. So the mathematical linguistics is going to our daily life.

C.

(i)- Does this situation happen in your country?

It does not happen in my country. In China, students learn science or language that they have their own idea. It is adapt for them or they like to they choose science or language.

(ii)- Does the educational syllabus in your country focuses more on sciences than languages?

Our educational syllabus does not focus more on sciences than languages. Our educational syllabus of sciences and languages are different. Sciences students are same to languages students. They must study hardly in their subject. Then they have different college for their different subject. They develop their own subject.

3. Answer the following questions:

Human Body Farm is established for forensic purposes i.e. Police cadets or people who study forensics, medical trainees, etc. However, for some, it is considered as a taboo to keep the dead body decomposed by itself. Infact, in certain culture, a decease should be treated with respect.

What do you think of Human Body Farm? Is it agreeable that it should be established in every country for forensic purposes? Do you think the society in your country will accept or reject it? Why?

I think it should be establised in every country for forensic purposes because it surely connects to solution of crime scenes and medical scenes. And also we haven't thought that we could solve crimes and even if it doesn't connects to solution, at least it should be very helpful for us. And, there's surely many people who are hoping to bring killers to justice. So, It should be admired , esteblised and spread all over the world.

My country don't accept Human body farm. This is becasue Japanese people usually think that dead bodies have to burn as soon as possible. by doing that, they think that they respect dead bodies and they want dead bodies go to heave and rest, and also, they want to help dead bodies from suffering the pain. We usually scatter their dead bodies after their bodies burn, into the sea or somewhere they want to. By doing so, it measn that they ave so much respect for dead bodies.So,it is not good idea to westablish human dead farm. if my country estblish it, japanese peole surely would think that they don't have any respect dead bodies because they littered on the ground!

The body farm neither is from American horror movie nor provide vampire with graveyard of food. It is unique experimental field for research decay of dead body. The dead body is from unclaimed and donative body. Scientists can research the natural decay of human corpses at the body farm and the effects of the rotten corpses on the environment. Such as gregarious insects rise up seed on the corpses. The rotten corpse will release digestive enzyme that can kill plants and influence surrounding vegetation. Forensic anthropologists through view corpse bone to determine the age, gender, race, and body of the deceased.

The deceased is dropped in the wilderness that is can not acceptable to everyone. Because of cultural, religious and regional differences, people’s funeral ideas and traditions are very widely. The ceremony and preparatory work of burial is very important to the ancient Egyptians. Such as the corpse need process antiseptic treatment. Until today, that is very widespread. In my opinion, it is difficult to agreeable that it is established in every country for forensic purposes. We should respect the culture of every country.

In my country, we can not accept the body farm. Because of we have lots of nations that their cultures are different, and their burial is different such as Tibetan. They
have convention of celestial burial that put the dead body in the wild to let the
vultures eat it. As common people, they choose cremation when they die. So we should respect different culture of different country. The body farm does not adapt in
every country around the world.

1.first i say it is agreeable to be kept forensic purpose but. too much like that on the video is bad.because it can lead to polluting the environment.but if they keep it for traniee purpose like for them to know how the decay of human is i think it should be well preserved and kept safe.for me i will say.it is the wrong idea to keep open.cause like a forest like that it can also affect most animals. 2.i think it is also good to keep the forsenic because

The concept of a body farm in general as well as the existing institutions in particular have been used in several crime-related works of popular culture. Notable examples include:

• Patricia Cornwell's novel The Body Farm is based on the University of Tennessee facility, but not on actual events surrounding it. The character of Dr. Thomas Katz was based upon Dr. Bill Bass. In his book, Death's Acre, which has a foreword by Cornwell, Bass and co-author Jon Jefferson describe the experiment he undertook on her behalf. A similar experiment conducted by the fictional Dr. Katz solves the book's mystery.
• Authors Jon Jefferson and Bill Bass have published a number of fictional murder mystery novels based on the body farm at the University of Tennessee in Knoxville under the pseudonym Jefferson Bass. The lead character is based on Bill Bass.
• In the British television series Waking the Dead, forensic pathologist Dr Eve Lockhart has her own body farm. She reappears in a spin-off series The Body Farm.
• it also helps to know how The aim is to gain a better understanding of the decomposition process, permitting the development of techniques for extracting information (such as the timing and circumstances of death) from human remains. Body farm research is particularly forensic anthropology and related disciplines, and has applications in the fields of law enforcement and forensic science

Human trafficking refers to the recruitment, transport, transfer, supply, or obtaining of a person for the purpose of exploitation and utilization.The people of human trafficking always use illegal method such as the threat of violence, coercion, kidnapping, fraud, etc.. 1 People trafficking is illegal. 2 Trafficking families to be discrete, a complete family. 3 Population trafficking is a departure from morality. Chase: In short, human trafficking is a violation of morality and law. The police have to crack down.

The story of Chen shengkuan gives me biggest impact.Because this story happends in china and touches me a lot.In China, thousands of the same example occurred in the countryside every day,hundreds of thousands of children are abducted and lead to family broken up, parents are inconsolable. Although he have a disability,but the father did not give up and finds his son day by day.The father's love is very greatness, although huamn trafficking is rampant, but if their parents do not give up, I believe they can find their children's in a day in the further and human traffickers also will be punished severely.

After I read these stories and I watched this video, I feel so sad. Especially I got big impact from the video. I really don’t want to happen human trafficking in the world but I have never seem that in my life so I think I always live in peace place and I never have experience poverty so I know human trafficking is happen in the world but I thought it is an affair of other people. However I watched this video and I read these stories I think I want to do something for this problem but honestly, I have no idea what I can I do. Why human trafficking continuously happen I n the world because these is “poverty”. We have to work because we have to earn money for our living. I am so lucky because I can take education and I can choose my job what I want but if I have poverty problem, maybe I cannot take education and  I cannot choose my job. So people go to human trafficking by themselves or their parents send children for human trafficking because they have to earn money for living. I was so surprised because there are people who go to human trafficking by themselves. Or their parents send it. It is very sad things and it is unfair. I think education is very important things for poverty. If people can take education impartiality, people can find their job by themselves. If so, nobady go to human trafficking by themselves. However, in human trafficking, there is kidnapping case. Chan Shengkuan’s story have the biggest impact for me. Because there are parents who send children to human trafficking but also there are parents who want to find children because kidnapping for human trafficking. Both of them are very tragedy things. I just can pray that the world became more peaceful.

We can make money by working, of course, but it is much more easier way to make money by human traffcking. because there's so many people who want human as slave, sexual things, or bussiness purposes. And, poor people cannot survive by just working because especially in developing countries, their countries' living costs re very low, it means salary is also low. And, in this very severe world, the difference between rich people and poor people's are much more bigger and bigger each years. that is why poor people is getting hard to survive in this society, by selling their children or family they can make money, and they can be someone's profit.

I felt depress, sad, and angry in this wolrd's socirty. my country japan is totally a developed country, so we can live our life without any convenience. But after I watched the attached video, I realized one thing. This ''Convenience'' is created by poor people who always working for like 24 hours, no rest, and very low salary. I like to do shopping, and I usually buy cheap bags and clothes. but they are made from the poor people. Poor people cannot buy such a things, besides, cannot meet their family, lovers, and friends. I have to think that I am such a happy person because I an study, eat foods whenever I want, can buy anyhting I want, and live with my family.

"Even at work, I am consumed with the thought of my son. I think to myself: ‘How could he have disappeared from the village?’”Chen Shengkuan, searching for his 20-month-old son since the boy's suspected kidnapping in January 2015"

I got most impact from this above story. China is considered as a kidnapping country. I have ever watched this kind of news on tv show in my country, many times. I still somtimes think about this topic, such as what if my future son or daughter kidnapped by someone? If it happens, it would be so hurts, and fell like killing myself. Children don't know how to escape, or even don't know what is or going to happening to them.

and, they are sold to someone, it might be overseas, by some their business. It ca make lots of money, very profitable by someone, but they cannot use children as a thing. they are human as us, they have a right to study, play, or something they want to. they are not toy or something like that. The government have to do something to help the children, and solve the problem.

At today’s society, the human trafficking is almost happening in everywhere around the world. In some areas, there are many people who are very poverty. They usually have more than two children, but they just can raise one to two children. So they only can sell their others children to human traffickers for a little money. Moreover, some people request to use the death penalty for human traffickers and purchaser of the same crime. But some people oppose, it will bring dangerous to victim, the death penalty is not a solution to the problem. However, what are the problems we face? Now, we should think about why human trafficking is more and more serious? Is it because of human traffickers or police and government system? Actually, we all know that human trafficking only happening in common family. If it happens in high level government officials, they will use their large social resources to find back their children. But as a common people, we can not do that. So the human trafficker is be killed or is not be killed, it does not matter. It is important that we can get powerful help from the social resources when we need help.

Human trafficking is the global second major criminal industry. I think the government should pay more attention to this problem and give rigorous hit to human traffickers.

Introduction

Today, Transgender is very known in different countries, like China, Nigeria, Japan, Thailand etc..

The word transgender is an umbrella word which is made up of a male or a female. And, we have our own problems about transgender in each countries. Today we are going to look some various aspect like the society, heredity, and the solution or support  of Transgender in each countries.

Body

How is our countries’ Transgender going on now?

China : My  country don’t have many transgender but we have a very famous transgender and she is a dancer and lecturer. She has own reality show and encourage many youngers to work hard.So, Most of them are like normal people without discrimination.

Japan: There is surely transgender in my country , but  not so famous or popular, compare to other countries like Thailand. I focus on in terms of workplace. And, according to the questionnaire about LGBT &wokplace emvironment,  Transgender people exist every kind of work places. But in the questionair, so many of them answerd negative opinions. That is because of my country don’t have specific support or positive law in japan.

Thailand: Nowadays in my country ‘Transgender’ it’s very  famous and still getting higher number of that. Because in my country they’re except transgender and support all of them, there’re contest , challenge , reality shows etc. maybe because of this that why make the number of them more high and higher.   

Nigeria:I will be speaking about the society aspect of transgender.in my country we dont have much on transgender issues. There are different aspect of it in the society like the segregation in the labour market. And also the indiscrimination among women in the society. like are paid less for work. So today transgender has been since and know in many countries but  in Africa it can be less than 0% of it. Transgender also have a symbol and flag to be known or seen.

Is there any specific  support of Transgender in each countries?

China: My country don’t have any support of Transgender from government.

Japan: My country don’t have any specific support from the government officially, but some companies have support for it. The company “IBM” have the support called IBM partner program. If you’re transgender and get the job there, and when you want to marry with the same gender person, the company helps you about insurance, and so on. The reason why the company is helping these people is  that they want to get rid of the discrimination about transgender.

Thailand: My country most of people , company , and society  support them and in the same time some of transgender they’re can choose a gender on their ID card and in Thailand we’re treat them  nicely like a normal and they can have a same equality same with other people .  

Nigeria: My county don’t have any support . 

Conclusion: What can we divide to the causes of this issue is 4 major factors which is biological causes, however, environment causes, psychology causes, and cultural causes. We have different situation, problem, it depends on our society. The environment most indiscriminate this act of transgender. For some culture is a taboo for a male to wear dress and behave like a female. But in the same time in other country they are except and support it because they’re give them the same equality and also the transgender make many the reputation to their country.

We are nearing our end of October 2015 intake.

Only eight of us in the class and I am really glad to have you as my students. Eight weeks; too short of time for me to get to know each of you. Nonetheless, I hope you had a great time.

Sometimes. the lessons were too dry that you will fall to sleep. Few times I caught the glimpse of Risa, Miko, Ding Yuen Chen and Godwin closed their eyes for awhile, hoping to get more sleep in the air-conditioned classroom. 

Other times, the class will be filled with positive energy that I could barely control each of you. Every one wants to talk and participate. Well, that was good.

Okay, I'll go round the table. Here are my observation throughout the eight weeks.

Jason.

It is good to see you have improved a lot ever since. You were in my Level 3 and Level 4 class. You used to stutter a lot when it comes to presentation. Yet this time around, you are much more calm and composed. Your individual presentation was good and well-prepared. However, there is one thing I noticed about you. You depend too much on your mobile phone. Every time we did exercises and practices in class, you will tend to check meanings all the time (though I know sometimes you were chatting with your friends via mobile phone. Gotcha!) Haaa and one more thing, please be punctual. If you join the BA programme next year, do not come late to class. It is not ethical. Okay, not going to say much, my advice; be punctual and try not to depend too much on your mobile ya. Hope you could strive your best for the final exam. Well-done.

Miko

You are a very bright student. Your individual presentation was excellent. The slides were well-organized and you seemed to be well-prepared (though I saw your hands were a little bit shaky due to nervousness Lol). Your padlet reviews were equally good too. I can see you have a lot of ideas. However, I wish to hear you speak out your mind more. Sometimes, I could read from your face that you wanted to comment on the topics we discussed in class yet hesitated to do so. Most probably you are a little shy but you could always try. I do hope your short stay in Malaysia could somehow increase your self-confidence in pouring out your ideas and points. Anyway, who cares if the ideas are crazy. That is why we called it ideas. Great ideas can turn to great reality tho!

Asry Haaa..Asry, you started off good but somehow along the way, I do not know what went wrong, you started to miss classes. Do you have any problem? or you are not interested in my class? or is English too difficult for you? I wish I could help you more. My advice to you, please consider to improve your English as it is Lingua Franca. If you could speak and write English well, you can land a good job in the future. This could change your life and family's. I am so sorry that I have to barred you from the exam. This is because in IEP, if you missed 3 sessions, you will not be given the certificate. Plus, you have already missed your Individual Presentation and Group Discussion. There goes your 40%. Sorry. But you might have to repeat Level 4 next intake (January 2016)

Megumi First and foremost, I like your smile. Very cute. Megumi that I know for the past 8 weeks is a bit blurred yet hard working. I like the effort you have throughout the intake. Sometimes, I know you struggled a lot when it comes to getting your ideas checked (most probably due to lack of vocabulary) yet you never give up and always try your best to speak out your mind. It is a really good sign. Your listening skill is good too. Many times you could answer quite well listening practices we did in class whilst everyone seemed have answered wrongly. Keep up the good job, Megumi. Hope whatever you have learned in class will be of good for you in the near future. Risa Risa-chan. I like your bun (hair)! Overall, you did well in both presentations. Like Miko, you have a lot of ideas and always like to participate in class activities. It is nice to see whenever I asked for a volunteer to read a text, you are among those who will raise your hand. Although sometimes you are a little sleepy in class, it is funny to see you struggling to stay awake and follow the lessons. lol. I wish you all the best in your undertakings. Make sure you always 'top up' your vocabulary bank via extra readings. Maryam Like Jason, I could see your self-confidence in using English as a medium of communication has improved. You were calm and collected during the individual presentation compared to the last intake. The thing I like about you is that, you like to participate in class activities and the fact that you never give up to try Level 4 again. However, my worry is that do not forget to use English when you are back to your hometown. Krabi is one of the tourist attractions in Thailand. Surely you have many opportunities to practice your English. Just remember, language equals to skill. If you do not use it often, it will slowly fade away. 

Ding Yuechen I would say you and Jason are twins. Always together even late to class (please do not be late anymore. Not in your university course in the future) You are a moderate user of English. Just that you are way to shy to speak up. I guess you need to brush up on your self-confidence so you could speak louder and clearer. Do not be afraid of making mistake when you speak. Well, people including me, do make mistakes whenever we speak because speaking comes straight from your mind. Hence, we are prone to stutter or slip of tongue. Often, you have the ideas, but you tend to speak softly hence people could not grasp what you were saying. Whenever you do your presentation, I wish I have the sound amplifier so I could make your voice louder. lol. One more, please not depend too much on the mobile phone for meanings. Try to guess the meanings based on the context of the sentence (I caught you play with your phones few times too). Sometimes, the meaning that you have in your mobile dictionary are direct translation and might completely wrong when applied to tyhe sentence. Anyway, always practice speaking English with your friends. You could spare an hour a day to read out loud to improve your pronunciation and voice tone. With hard work, anything is possible.

Godwin Your English proficiency is exceptionally good. Your individual presentation was good and well-prepared. You do like to participate plus contribute a lot of great ideas to the class. However, I wish you could give your friends a chance to speak up too. lol. The thing with your friends is, they know you can present well, hence will choose you to present. Next time, my advice is let them do the talking so they won't bully you. lol And one more thing, be punctual. I would say, when it comes to punctuality, you, Jason and Ding Yuechen are triplets of different mothers. Anyhow, it is good to have you in class with your antics. You enlightened the class atmosphere hence made it lively. Even when you sit there at the back silently, you can still make us laugh and smile. I wish you all the best in your future undertakings. Keep up the good job.

-------------

Group presentation. Honestly, both groups did well in the presentation last Monday. I amactually very happy to see each of you wrk hard for your session. I can see the effort throughout your presentation. Both topics are equally interesting. I bet your friends have learned a lot from both presentations. However, there are few things I would like to highlight abt it. 1) Megumi, Risa and Jason: Well done. It was an excellent job. I like your presentation very much. Very informative and well-prepared. The slides and flow of ideas were well-connected. Only when it comes to the explanation, I think you need to provide a more concrete examples. Your topic was about education and disability children. Some of your friends might be new to the issue. So, they might find it quite dry. You may want to include audiovisual like videos, pictures. Overall, should give a pat at your back. Good job! 2) Godwin, Maryam, Miko and Ding Yuechen: I like your topic a lot. In fact, everyone did enjoy your presentation. The topic really interest people as questions kept on pouring over to your group. However, I personally would say that your presentation was pretty much a hassle. It seemed to be last minute work as I barely can see team work between each of you. Turn-taking was not there. At one point, everyone seemed to be talking at the same time. Ding Yuechen, you should make your voice louder. Miko and Maryam's were okay. Godwin, being emotional was not good as it was just a knowledge-sharing session. The topic was on transgendered, but there you were talking about gender discrimination which was totally misleading. Though gender discrimination does contribute to the ongoing issue of LGBT, but the highlight should be on Transgendered in Nigeria, not the segregation of gender. Everyone, it was a good try tho. Do not feel upset with my comments nor dwell in it for a long time. This long list is the observation I did throughout the entire 8 weeks. After all, we are all human. And being human, life is a life-long learning. Even I myself, being a teacher, I constantly learn from my students. 

Cheer up guys! You are still young and have great days ahead of you. I believe, there is always a room for improvement for all of us. We could be a better person day by day. 

The question is, are you ready? :)
