Hey Sam! I'm looking for language partners to practice speaking Japanese too. Let me know if you are interested. My mother tongue is English, so it won't be a problem for us to communicate. 

It is a widely debated thought that whether freedom of speech is necessary for a free society or not. I believe it is essential for creating a diverse and liberal society. In this essay, I will provide some reasons as to why people need freedom of speech.

First, one of the reasons why I believe freedom of speech is necessary for a free society is because people will have an opportunity to change their thought. In that way it can change common sense or an idea of stereotype. For example, we still have many problems such as discriminations of races and LGBTQ. Although some countries are trying to change their society for these groups of people by making new marriage laws or letting companies establish special positions for LGBTQ people as they have been rejected from these positions for a long time, there are still many countries which are grappling with the problems. This is why it is very important that an individual state their issues to get it addressed and possible measures can be taken so that every people in the society can live freely. 

Secondly, freedom of speech is needed is that will contribute a human development in the field of technology and economy. If someone expresses a new idea of the economy and the government enforces it, our society will change significantly. For example, recently there is a problem that robots take many kinds of jobs from people and more and more people lose their job in the US. Most citizens of America thought there were no solutions. However, an Asian American businessman suggested a basic income method instead of a laboring income. This proposal prevents people from being trouble with money and may make the quality of life in America better and free. This is another reason for how much freedom of speech is necessary for the free society.

On the other hand, some believe in expressing themselves in an extremist manner. For example, a famous Japanese novelist killed himself in front of the parliament so that his idea is accepted by the government. As mentioned, there are different ways in which people assert to their opinions, but it is undeniable that these people changed our society.

In conclusion, I believe free speech in necessary for the society for these reasons. It alloes various choice of jobs and ways of leading lives and hence allows to create a free society.

l watched the Disney movie "Cinderella" the day before yesterday.
I had already have watched it in Japanese, but this time I watched it in English with Japanese subtitles.
Without subtitles, I could not understand how the story progressed. 
But I realized that the Japanese subtitles often differed from the actual English content. 
If I watch English movies more, I wonder if I can improve my English. 
I believe that my English will be getting better gradually. 

Could you please check my writing? Thank you.
