Are parents the best teachers?
Today, I would like to try to write about following TOELF example.
"Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Parents are the best teachers. Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer."
------------
I disagree with this statement due to 2 reasons.
First, there are many good teachers besides parents. For example, a supervisor of a university might be the best teacher. In my case, my guidance professor was a great researcher. I learned a lot of things from him such as the attitude to work on research, a way of thinking about family, and so on. He is the best teacher of mine. Similarly, other people may think a person who is not their parents the best teacher.
Second, there are many bad parents in this world. For example, much domestic violence happens in Japan. I think it is almost impossible for these parents to be good teachers for their children.
In conclusion, the best teachers depend on each child.

Why people attend college or university
The title of this article is an example question of the writing part of TOEFL iBT test.
Today, I would like try to wirte about this answer in 10 minutes.
------------
In my point of view, there are 2 major reason to attend college or university.
First, a degree is very important to get a good job, especiall in Japan. In Japan, many job offers require a degree in college or university even if the job is no relation with the major of the applicant. For example, a company I applied before was reqruiting various type of jobs, but almost all positions require a degree of college or university except factory works. Therefore, to attend college or university gives students more chance to get a new job. This is the one reason that people attend college or univeristy.
Second, people enjoy college/univeristy life as "holidays in life". In Japan, both of children and adults spend very busy life. Children always take paper tests and think about how to go to a good junior high school, high school, or university. Similary, many people have worken long year without a long vacation after graduate college or university. On the other hand, college/university life gives students much more free time compare to the other life stage. Hence, many students attend college or university because they want to spend more free time and enjoy the campus life.
In conclusion, I stated 2 major reason why people attend college or university in my point of view. The one is a big merit for job hunting for freshman, the other is to take "holidays of life".

Recruitment of Astronauts in Autumn 2021
The day before yesterday, I read an article about "Recruitment of Astronauts" by JAXA. They plan to recruit some astronauts candidates in next autumn, and I'm really excited about the news!
I would like to apply for the selection, so I need improve my English and physical condition. Also, I need to focus on my new job from this Octver because applicants need the recommendation by the institutions they belong to.
Anyway, that was good news! I'm looking forward to challenge the selection, and hopely go to the moon!
No overtime day
Today is a no overtime wednesday and the library in my office was closed, so I left my office around 17:00. Now it's 18:30, and I already have came home.
In my working hours, I studied using a textbook about my new research project. I had expected that the stdy doesn't work , because I hadn't studied mathmatics and physics long time. However, the learning was more smooth than I had expected. I hope to make more progress tomorrow!

Great Monday
I was very energetic today. For example, I studied at the library in my office spontaneously, and I did more housework than usual.
I guess the one of the reason is the first participation for a team meeting. I had been very nervous last week, because I hadn't had sufficient confidence to acomplish my new job. However, I could understand almost the half of the contents of the meeting. Therefore, I could believe that I can do well 3 month later if I study hard from today.
I can do it!! Just do it!! ← This words is most suitable to expressing my today's feeling : )
# 3rd day
Pre-shoot of Wedding ceremony
Today, my wife and I went to Sankeien in Yokohama to take pre-shoot of our wedding ceremony.
We wore Hakama and Shiromuku (Peel White Kimono) , and the preparation started 7:00 AM, so we had woken up very early morning today.
Our photo session was 1 hour from 9:00 AM. It was very fun! A photographer took our pictures in various situation and background. We so much enjoyed to be taken.
We'll get our picture until next Saturday, and finish our opening movie and a profile movie.
That's why today was a great day! Have a good night!
