Hi,I'm Riko.
I love trip so I really enjoyed your blog. You took nice photographs.It made me feel like going on a trip.
I also looked your biography and knew that you can speak many languages.If I can speak many languages,how enjoyable it is to trip abroad! That's because I can communicate with local people in common language. I'm Japanese and learning English and German.I try hard to be able to speak these languages like you.
Now,how about tripping to Japan?

Role model

My role model is Mr.Hotta who was an English teacher in my high school. He had taught English for ten years in my high school and also taught kendo. That's because he has been played kendo since his youth.What the point of contact between he and I is he was an adviser of kendo club which I belonged to.

There are a lot of reasons why I respect him. Now, I'm going to show you two of these reasons.
First, he is a good kendo player and adviser. He was old enough to play with us,so he often came to watch how we practice well and gave each of us good advice.His advice hits the mark which enables us to improve our weak point. I think we couldn't have greatly improved in kendo without his support.
Second,he has adventurous spirit regardress of his age. We have regural occasions to visit his house to talk flankly with him. When we visited, I was very surprised to hear that he had a round-the-world trip for three month. What moved him to do it was his eagerness to see out side of Japan and to communicate with people all over the world. I want to be active like him and experience many things.

For these reasons,I chose him as my role model.
I'm happy if you give me some comments for this blog.

About education problem

According to Yomiuri newspapers,40 percent of parents who have children going to elementary or junior high school think the new system that permits their children to go to school only 5 days in a week is not good.
This is a big problem, becaus about half parents don't agree with the gorvenmental policy on education.The gorvenment take emphasis on giving children much time which enable
them to think deeply about their life and started the system. But the Board of Education have no systematic education plan which can realize the gorvenment's aim. So most of children spend free time to do game at home or to go to private lesson school.

When I read this article,I coud nuderstand the feelings of the parents.I'm afraid of failing in children's memory and culculation ability and so on.
The gorvenment shoud make complete plan which enable children to think about how they will be able to live full of life in long run.Education is very important.I think We shoud think much about it.
By the way,what do you think about education? Please tell me your opinion.

Hi!!

Hello,Thank you for inviting my page.
My mane is Riko.

I think no one knows who I am except for my English teacher.
So, I 'm gradually going to introduce myself every time I write blog.

It is the first time for me to have my own page because I'm not good at using computers.
I'm looking forward to make friends through the blog.
It is interesting to contact someone who I don't know well.
