It was really long long ago that I updated my space and it was both surprising and inspiring to get the comments from you,who are always paying attention to what I read with great interests.Words just failed me.Anyway,thank you thank you very much.

 

The other day,when I was taking a rest I was greeted by one of the students I taught 1 year ago."Sensei,sensei!" she said."Why don't you keep teaching us at the advanced course?"For I previously told them I would possibly be in charge of the intensive reading of advanced Japanese.I was deeply moved by their attitude toward studying.Every time when the lesson was about to end,I would ask them not to forget reciting the text along with many new words.At the very begining,they were actually reluctant and seemingly upset.

 

I told them one day you would appreciate this kind of efforts by yourself and was eventually to be grateful for me.The girl told she had benefited a lot from that.Once as a student studying Japanese language,I understand what the value of reciting is.When I was,almost all the time,free,I would try to remember as many sentences along with many new words as I could.Never had I been boring about learning foreign languages.In stead,I took great pleasure doing all these kind of things,which was the making of me as a teacher majored in Japanese.

 

It was not because I was fond of talking before others that I turned to be a teacher.As for myself,I did not expect this.I remember I was asked whether I was interested in being a teacher after the master course.I responded to my tutor clearly frankly,without any hesitation.I was not considering this.There was nothing to do with a lie.That was all true.However,in the end,when I was about to graduate from the center,I naturally accepted the offer of being a teacher in this university.

 

Students nowadays vary a lot from students during the time I was a university student.We did not have a mobile phone.Nor did we have that many options for entetainment such as gameboy or PS2.Living in the campus largely meant studying in the campus.We spent almot all the time in the classroom.Even the number of students who had boyfriends or girlfriends remained minority.For most of us could not afford it.It was undoubtedly simple.

 

Looking back on those days,I deeply thank for this kind of simplicity.The world becomes really simple when we concentrate only on things that really matter.We will never be lost if we all have a big picture of everyday life.
