Education

1. Do you think Japan should give more students options to study more languages (other than English) in Junior and Senior High School?

I don't think so. Before that, we should learn more natural English. In junior and high school, we just learn English for passing exams.

2. Read this interesting opinion from the Mainichi newspaper. Do you agree with the author? Is being fluent in English a waste of time?

I agree with the aouthor. "If the purpose of the government's action plan is only to make people fluent in English -- which, by the way, is a difficult thing to do -- it is of no use at all. " I really think so. If we don't have a special aim, our english won't improve. I also think teaches are confusing is a problem. English education is important for us especially to use English for future job. However, if the teachers will teach wrong English, it's not good. So I think we need native English speakers for the education system.

Yeah, I also think we have to learn natural English. But I feel Japanese should study other foreign languages, too.

I agree with you. I think junior and senior highschool students are enough to study just English. But, I wanted to try to studied more foreign languages.
