    I wouldn't say anything, especially if you dont know the person. You could trigger road rage. Maybe the person is carrying a gun and is unstable. Just be nice to people, even when they are not nice to you. You never know what's going on with the other person.

    My script for debate lesson

    This is my script about Japanese high school students working part time jobs.
    My side is "Negative".Can you check and correct my English?



    We think high school students shouldn’t work a part time job. Our first point is time.
    A survey conduc<font color="#ce0000">t</font>ed by National Institution for Youth Education said that about half of high school students who have <font color="#ce0000" style="background-color: yellow;">the</font> experience of part-time jobs have zero study time at home.  <font color="#ce0000" style="background-color: yellow;">W</font>ithout part-time work experience, <strike>zero is less than 30%</strike>.<font color="#ce0000" style="background-color: yellow;">less than 30% have zero home study time. </font> If they <strike>do</strike><font color="#ce0000" style="background-color: yellow;"> work a</font> part-time job, they will lose study time clearly.
    Our second point is risk. There is<font color="#ce0000" style="background-color: yellow;"> a</font> serious problem that high school students who work<font color="#ce0000" style="background-color: yellow;"> a</font> part time job take an over-the-top prank photo of them<font color="#ce0000" style="background-color: yellow;">selves</font> <strike>that</strike> while working and give the photo to SNS, especially Twitter. For example,<font color="#ce0000" style="background-color: yellow;"> a</font> school girl who worked at Pizza-la entered the refrigerator, took photo<font color="#ce0000" style="background-color: yellow;">s</font> and gave them to Twitter. Because high school students are still children, there is the risk of <font color="#ce0000" style="background-color: yellow;">making inappropriate posts while at work and negatively representing </font><strike>giving disadvantage to</strike> the company.
     In conclusion, it is most important for high school students to study. In addition, <strike>working is still early for high school students.</strike><font color="#ce0000" style="background-color: yellow;"> high school students are too young to have jobs.</font> So, high school students should do other things such as study and club activities rather than work part time jobs.

    In northern Ohio (USA) it seems that most older people do not pronounce the t, while younger people do.

    Non-binary pronoun in German/other languages

    In the US people who consider themselves non-binary (neither male nor female) sometimes use the word they for themselves in 3rd person singular.  Is there an equivalent pronoun in German?  Other languages?  


    Example sentences:   Chris rode the bus into town. Then they went shopping.   ("They" refers to Chris)

    graphs about the nubmer of emplyment (Could you help me correct my writing)

    The Task: The graphs below show the numbers of male and female workers in 1975 and 1995 in several employment sectors of the Republic of Freedonia.

    The graphs reveal a difference of numbers of employees in a company between in 1975 and in 1995.
                                           (difference in numbers)
    Firstly, the figure of the women workers were fewer than the ones of men regardless of what sectors they

                       (in 1975 the number  of women workers was less than the number of men workers regardless of what sector they were in)


    were in in 1975. The situation was different from that in 1995. They were two departments that more female

                               (different than that of 1995)                                    (there were two departments with more female workers)


    workers worked for in 1995. 


    Secondly, the numbers of male staff rarely changed. It was strange that almost every sector happened like this.

                                                                                                   (that this was true in almost every sector)

    Only the people of public sector (defence) decreased a little bit and the number of Finance department increased about 100.     Are you talking about men here?      (Only the number of men)

    Moreover, the Freedonia added the women enormously in most of sectors, especially Finance and

                  Omit "the" with Freedonia,        instead of "added the women enormously " use "added an enormous number of women"


    Communications. But Public sector(non - defence) and Manufacturing still unchanged.

                                     However, the public sector and manufacturing were unchanged



    We can see more women engaging in working than before. The society maybe accept the women developing the

                                                  engaging in work                                    Maybe society is accepting women developing their careers

    career of their jobs instead of just taking care of their family at home. In addition, the men need to try harder. Because staying unchangeable is a walk back.

    try harder, because staying unchangeable is a step backwards

    A funny restaurant

    The last summer, I stumbled upon an excellent beef soup restaurant in my neighborhood. This type of peculiar (peculiar means odd.  Better to say  this particular type of soup, unless you do mean the soup is odd)beef soup is called Seolleongtang in Korean, which is a greatly loved traditional Korean dish for more than 500 years. When I ate a spoonful of soup, I knew right away that the chef was extraordinary. That was definitely the best Seolleongtang I've ever had in my entire life.

    And while having a conversation with the chef, I found a funny fact about his family. He told me that his daughter was raising a hen as a pet. He said that she bought a few fertile chicken eggs and an incubator one day, and that after a while just one out of them succeeded to hatch, which became her pet now.(successfully hatched and became her pet)
    I was even able to see her pet hen in the flesh, because the chef's daughter walked into a restaurant with her hen in her arms, just like holding a baby dog. Indeed, the hen looked so neat and well taken care of that it was obviously a pet, not a livestock. That unusual scene was quite shocking at first, but soon I found the whole situation so hilarious. That was an extraordinary restaurant in many ways.
