The Aging Population with a Declining Birthrate Issue in Japan２ Next, I want to explain “Why the aging population with a declining birthrate issue have happened in Japan? Therefore, I want to show the problems with the aging population with a declining birthrate.” To begin I explain why the aging population with a declining birthrate issue have happened in Japan. It has two reason. First, death of rate is fall, and the average lifespan improved. According to the Japanese government (2016), “In Japan, living environment, and nutritional condition have improved.” Therefore, “medical technology progress and so on. From these things, babies and infants, young person of death rate are greatly fall.” From these things, we can know people’s life time is increasing. Second, declining birth rate cause decline in young population. According to Japanese government (2014) “The number of births are declining tend after first baby boom, and second baby boom.” From these things, Japan’s declining birth rate is serious.The issue is difficult to solve, because the issue has many causes.

The Aging Population with a Declining Birthrate Issue in Japan Have you ever thought about “the aging population with a declining birthrate? “The ratio of 65 and over has raised, for the first time it exceeded 27 percent.” (Japanese government, 2016) I want to show three main points. First, I will write about “What is the aging population with a declining birthrate? Therefore, show the population by age groups.” Next, I will write about “Why the aging population with a declining birthrate issue have happened in Japan?” Last, I want to write about “What is the solution to solve the issue?” I want to explain three main points. First, I want to explain, what is the aging population with a declining birthrate issue, and the current situation. Begin with, the aging population with a declining birthrate means that elderly people are increasing, and children are decreasing. Next, I want to show the population by age groups. According to the Japanese government (2016), “population of children under 15 years of age are 1578, 0000 people. It is decline 16, 5000 people”. “The ratio is 12.4 percent, so it is lowest level.” From these means declining birth rate. In addition, according to the Japanese government (2016), “population of 65 years old and over are 3459, 1000 people, It is increase 72, 3000 people compared with the previous”. “Therefore, the ratio of 65 years old and over is 27.3 percent. It reached a record high in 2016.” Besides, “population of 75 years old and over is 1690, 8000 people, it is increase 58, 6000 people, and it continue to be more than population of population under 15 years of age last year.” From these things the population of elderly people is increase. These imply Japan is super aging society.

July 5, 2017 It was sunny and cloudy yesterday. The heavy rain in observation history in Kyushu region. Buildings and roads were damaged. By the way I went to school. Yesterday's English class is speaking. I learned religious issues of clothing. I can understand disagree opinion but people should respect them culture. I think that people should not only contradict but also people should respect others opinion.

June 24, 2017 It was sunny yesterday, but I did not go out. I studied Economic, English and Chinese. Yesterday was very busy day. I was very tired, so I went to bed early last night. I would like to write why I study these subjects. First, I study Englsh for TOEIC test ,and English class. My English class's teacher gives students a lot of homework. I sometimes spend a whole day finishing my homework! In addition, she is a hard marker, so I can learn many things from her. I appreciate of her. Second, I study Chinese for passing HSK Grade six. I can speak Chinese but I am not good at writting. It's because, maybe I don't use simplified Chinese character, so I cannot remenber it. My mother's native language is Chinese, so she teaches me Chinese difficult pronunciation, and difficult Chinese character. All my familly can speak Chinese, so I speak Chinese with my parents, and grand parents. While, I always talk in Japanese with my sibling at home. Third, I study economic for term examination. I think microeconomics is difficult to understand. Everyday is busy mow, but Summer vacation is coming up soon:)

Burdock is Black but It is Not Dirty I impressed three parts from the article “Book is behind bullying of mixed-race children” when I read it. I will write my impression three parts. First, “The burdock is black and dirty because he did not wash his body properly; the daikon is white and beautiful because he did.” I impressed this part which is portrayed in “Ninjin-san ga Akai Wake”. It is because I surprised people can realize this is absurd but it is popular book. I think burdock is originally black so burdock is not dirty. Saying likely this, many children may think having dark skin is dirty. Second, “I hate my light brown skin, I hate the burdock, I’m dirty and I want to be like the white radish!” I impressed this part where little boy said it Because, I think it is painful for him to sensitive about his skin. I can understand from this passage, some people still have a prejudice to black. Third, “Yes, we are all clean, and they all sing and dance together. Black is beautiful, white is beautiful, red is beautiful-all the color in the world are equally beautiful!” I impressed this part which writes on this article because I think this idea is good. In the future, many foreigner come to Japan so children should understand this idea. People tend to judge others appearances but this passage shows color of skin is not concern. I write most impression three part of the article. The burdock is not dirty, so children should not think black skin is dirty, and they should respect each other of different skin colors.
