Diary in English ♡September 4th and 5th

September 4th

Today I looked up what tax procedures I have to do before I move to the UK about tax. It was difficult for me, but I made a call to a the tax office and I understood it.

Then I went for dinner with one of my friends. He is an elementary school's teacher. His talk  What he told me about elementary school's education made me surprised me. Recently, many parents have became more sensitive about their children's injuries. The school he works for prohibited group warm-ups. It is common for us to do group warm-ups in a school sports meeting in Japan. I also joined a human pyramid when I was an elementary school student. Certainly group warm-ups is are dangerous sometimes, but I think it is wiredweird to forbid their them doing all activities that included some the possibility of injuryies.


September 5th

Today I went out with my family. I'm going to leave Japan in a few days and my mother and little sister hadve a day off so we went out together. We went to Tsuruhashi. It's famous for Korean barbeque because it's a Korean town. We had lunch at a Korean restaurant. We ordered Korean barbeque and it tasted great! Then we went to a spa and enjoyed a hot stoned bath. We were allowed to read comics and magazines at a the hot stoned bath. We had a good sweat. Then we enjoyed the hot springs. I was satisfied with my relaxing day with my family.

Tax is so confusing for me too haha. In England as well schools are becoming more safety-concious. I hope you have a good time in the U.K. :) Make sure you buy an umbrella because it is always raining there!

CET 4 translation 2 the red color in China

I will greatly appreciate each any advice you can offer me. Good one!

According to the Chinese culture, the color of red is a symbol of good luck, longevity and happiness. Red can be found in every corner as when the Spring Festival or other pleasant enjoyable (pleasant isn't wrong but sounds a bit strange in this context) festivals come. BesidesAlso, red envelopes are usually used as the container when people want to give their families or close friends some cash as a presents. The other reason why red is so popular in China is that people regard red is as related to the Chinese Revolution and the Community Party. However, red doesn't signify good luck and happiness all the time: it is offensive to write down the names of Chinese people in red ink because the dead's names were often wrote written in red in the past.

Overall very well written and so interesting! :)
