Things to do in order to be a good manager In my view, there are three essential points to be a good manager. It is not to micromanage, to set clear expectation, and to secure time to talk with each worker. The first one is to avoid micromanagement. While qualities of works by every worker is critical, the micromanagement causes wasting time and ends up to some jobs not be done. For example, in my former workplace, my director micromanaged workers. we were forced to report him everything and got instruction every time on a tiny portion of the works. Due to his management style, we didn't deliver all the job until the deadlines. The second one is to set a clear expectation for each employee in advance. Since it is impossible for a manager to monitor all individual subordinates always during work, a manager should decide expectations and clearly show them to each subordinate. It helps each to understand his/her goal before starting the job and control his/her daily works. For instance, in my office, managers talk with each worker to set clear goals and expectations in advance. The final one is to secure regulary talking time with each employee. In addition to setting clear goals and expectations, making regulary talk with each person is very important. Managers should support workers through regular meetings to make sure that workers do not lose the sight of the goals and expectations. In my company, we have a proper time to talk with managers at least once a week. If we misunderstand our priorities to achieve our goals, our managers support us to modify the priorities or reduce the workload. In conclusion, I think managers should avoid micromanagement, share clear expectations with each worker, and encure time to talk with each worker.

Internet as an educational tool I agree with the idea that the Internet is a valuable tool for education. There are a couple of reasons for this. Firstly, we can take various kinds of lessons through the Internet. For example, we can learn English from a native speaker around the world via Internet voice call service such as Skype. Also, we can take many lectures from famous professors for free through podcast services. Another reason is that we can quickly get the information by searching on the Internet. There is a lot of information on the Internet these days. Simple search brings up millions of hit. For instance, I got the information about the history of Tokyo when a foreign friend asked me about it. For these reasons, I agree with the idea that the Internet is a valuable tool for education.

Casino is good for a city? I agree with the proposal to build a new casino in my city. There is a couple of reasons for this. Firstly, a casino contributes to the local economy. A casino can create various kinds of new jobs, especially for a younger generation. Also, city hall can gain a certain ratio of revenues that the casino generates by tax and as a result, the city hall can use more money for public purposes. In fact, Osaka city is very keen to welcome a casino for economic revitalization. Another reason is that a casino can attract more tourists from other countries. For instance, Singapore has attracted a lot of foreign tourists by accepting casios and related integrated resort facilities. While Singapore is a very small country, a huge amount of foreigners visited the city. For these reasons, I agree with the proposal to build a new casino.

Self-Introduction has written in short minutes. Please note that I wrote this article in the short period and Grammarly collected it. Hi, I'm Atsu. I study English for a long time, but I still can not use English well. I work at a U.S. company's branch in Tokyo. My priority is improving English at the limited time. High-level staffs sometimes come to my office, and they are willing to communicate with local employees, but I hesitate to talk to them about many things due to my poor English skills. Generally, my colleagues have experiences to work or study in English speaking countries, but I was born in Japan and grew up in Japan entire life, and I've never lived in other counties. That is my big complex. Thus, I definitely would like to improve Engish in H2 in 2018. Appolozise for very long self-introduction. If you have any suggestions for students like me, I appreciate your feedback.
