Education

I agree with her opinion.

1. Japanese is changeed by young people these days. therefore, the adult can not even reading and writing kanji. I think it is caused by school education. The gaverment decreased lesson for children. So, the teacher should give more homework for children.

2. In my opinion, the people study English very harder. So, they may that neglect to learn native language. I think it is good, the people study harder native language before they study English.

3.I think If the children start to study English in elementary school, they are confuse. It may that they do not like English.

man and woman

I agree with auther.
because, these days, I think effeminate men increase very much.
In Japan, it is called by soushokukei danshi. Such as men is fond of many girls. but I do not like taht. I hope the man is gentle and reliable character.
On the other hand, recently, the possitibly women increase. So, they think that they are not going to get marry in the future. I think it is not so bad idea. but, It is caused by an aging society.
