The United Nations...

Hi everyone,

Today, I will answer the following questions;


If you were working for the UN, which job would like to do using your English abilities? Why?


I would like to work as a translator if I were working for the UN.

Because I am interested in foreign languages and learning English and Korean!
Also, I would not be bored if I could use many languages even in my work place.
If what I like becomes my work and earn money, I would lead a happy life!

The UN needs translators to be able to understand at least three languages,
and translate them into another languages quickly in both speaking and writing.
That is going to be so hard, because I could not tell the truth if I do not have enough knowledge
of many fields. But with more practice, I could be a good translator and help people who cannot understand each other.

Personal Spaces

1. You’re talking to a co-worker. How close do you stand?

It depends on the person, but I would stand 1 or 2 m away.

2. You’re talking to a friend. Do you touch each other?

I am sure to touch if she or he is one of my best friends to show my interest or friendliness.

3. Look at the diagram of a waiting. Where do you sit when you enter?

I probably prefer sitting at the corner.

4. You’re in a crowded elevator. Where do you look?

I would drop my eyes to avoid being looked from others or look at the numbers.
I might stop talking if I talk with someone.

5. You’re standing in line. How close do you stand to the person in front?

I would keep the proper distance, that is 1 or 2 metres away.

6. You get on the bus. There is an empty row of seats at the back, and an empty seat close by. Where do you sit?

I really prefer sitting at the back of the bus especially window seat!

7. You’re in a library and there’s an empty seat beside you. Do you want to stop someone sitting there? If so, how?

Yes! I would put my bags on the seat or say 'My friend is coming.' to stop someone sitting there.

8. You’re going to the beach. Do you like to see lots of people or very few?

I prefer seeing very few people because I think that is more comfortable to swim. I do not like any places that is too crowded.

9. When you’re talking to someone, do you look them in the eye?

Yes, I try to look people in the eye. That leads us to be polite and involved in the speaker.

10. You’re on a train. Do you talk to the other passengers?

No, I would not talk with someone if I do not have any problems.

The best country to work

I have heard once that some Northern Europe have good social security, that help people live more comfortable.

Finland must be one of the countries, especially for working.
This is because that their working hours is not so long and if you work more than 6 hours, you have to take a break at least once. I think that it is a good idea to work efficiently.
Also, their summer vacations are usually for about 4 week!
People seem to have differnt sense against working from Japanese people.

I think that Japanese people are working too hard ,so we might follow the working style of Finland :)

An Ideal Partner in My Life


Hi everyone,


I am so excited to write about my perfect man today!! Let's begin!



Personality: I hope that my ideal partner has an attractive personality such as gentle, considerate, sincere and humorous.

love: What determine whether he is just a friend or future partner is love toward me. Of course, the deepr, the better :)

looks: Nothing can be better than a good looking guy, including his height, figure and so on.

Sense of value: I think it is more comfortable to have same or similar sense of value than having opposite one. I hope that he has a few same hobbies as me, sense of the of money, and of course he must be the Carp fan!! :D

Live with his parents: It is a realistic matter, but I would like to start our new life just with him.

Birthplace: I would love to be with whose birthplace is not Hiroshima. The cultural differnces like dialects and foods must be interesting!

Blood type: I may be in good with A type or O type!! Though I know well that it has scientific evidence;;

Occupation and salary: He does not need to be a millionaire, but I really do not want to have some trouble about money! Also, I hope that he is not a workaholic but has a talent for any field.

Future plan: This is mainly about children. It goes without saying that he loves children and is conident about what we are going to experience.

Academic background: I do not like a too foolish man!!

Age: While some people do not care the gap of ages, I do care about it realistically. The same age as me or a little older than me might me best.

Car: I would be so happy that he has a TOYOTA car!!
