It doesn't matter if you don't judge marines too fast or not. The thing is if the four marines actually raped the woman or not. As far as Manuel Sandoval goes, seems like he's just getting away with the fact that the four raped the woman by mentioning if the US military were to leave Japan , everyone in Japan would get in deep trouble dealing with the North Korea problems and the China problems. The point is if some of the military members actually raped or not. He is getting off the track. The fact that he chages the point the article says means in fact he more or less admits the four military did raped the woman ,in a sense.So he's saying the US military helps Japan deal with these problems and plays a significant role so that sex crime like that is acceptable.This is the article .
The way Kevin Egan persuades us is that he refutes Manuel by mentioning having military basis around the world does not mean soliders can have the freedom of what they want. And the freedom includes rape. He doesn't mention it is wrong that the US military plays an important role in Japan but Kevin does not think it's right the US military gets snobby and feels superior over Japan just because the US military helps Japan a lot. This is the article.

The reason why I'm in IES
This is a picture of Montreal.IES is a great chance for me to brush up my English. There's so many reasons why I take part in IES. One of the reasons is that I want to prepare for study abroad in two years. I'm thinking of going to Canada , Montreal where you can speak both English and French. Before entering Kansaigaidai , I was actually thinking of going to university where I can only study French. But I was worried that my English would get worse. So I came to this University and decided to take IES. Now I feel extremely thankful to Kansaigaidai for giving me the opportunity to take IES. Otherwise Im a hundred percent sure that I would be stunned and stressful for the level of what other students' English are.(No trying to be arrogant).I feel just simply happy to be able to study what I've always wanted to do in such a great environment. The environment's always been motivating me .
Also I was incredibly excited about what was going to be like to study English with remarkable teachers. I mean , I'd often go to English conversation school . And it's not that the teachers that taught me English there were bad , which I'm extremely thankful for them being friendly and hanging out with literally every weekend . But thoes what it's called "teachers" are just from English speaking countries.( No offense) Actually the way they'd teach English was a little sloppy . I was skeptically studying in a way. So I was hoping I could have a teacher that doesn't only teach English conversation but also something you can't study there.
Honestly, I'm extremely thankful to you for giving us interesting topics every time. Certainly I want to keep studying in IES. This is the link to a huge music festival in Montreal.

Well.. I got turned down again....give me a break.... What should I do.. I thought I could get the job.. in fact last weekend I waited so long for a call from the drugstorte. To make a long story short... they never gave me a call. I was all...How dare you turn me down.....anyway I'll take the high road. I dont give a shit.
Im goona introduce you to one of my favorite bands called FALL OUT BOY
I guess they made their debut about like three years ago. Their songs are not that heavy but catchy. One of my favorite songs is called " Thanks for the memory". For the record,the guy who is a scary looking guy is going out with Ashlee Simpson. You might think the monkeys suck but the song is cool right ? Whoever watches this should go check their albums. They've got a lot more great songs .

Part time job
I've been looking for a part time job for quite a while . So I looked through a magazine that offers a lot of part time jobs. and then I actually didn't care what kind of job I was goona get. The point was that I wanted to make enough money to go on a trip to Canada this spring. That's what matters. As far as I saw a picture of the store I was gonna work was not that bad. So I called the store and promised I'd go have a job interview last Sunday. On the day , I went over there but the thing was that all the staff were in some kinds of tacky orange caps and green aprons. I was stunned. I seriously never thought I' d wanna work there . To make a long story short ....I canceled the job interview at the last minute. It was the most awkward situation ever.
I'm now thinking of working at a drugstore . An hourly wage is 900 yen. I hope I'll get a job by this month. I gotta work....Actually I went over to Kadoma to have the job interview last night. And I got back home at around 10 pm. Hopefully, I'll get a call from the drugstore soon.

I’m personally very interested in the article. I believe those incredibly difficult issues that we have frequently make us annoying .For me every time I watch some politicians comments in the press , those situations always make me wonder if those politicians actually really understand the loanwords . Considering that people studying English hard like me also sometimes find them difficult to understand, I wonder how ordinary people try to get the meaning of those sentences. I agree with the sentence that quotes “ some people use the loanwords to show off” I think that’s silly they think the loanwords are cooler than the words people use just because not so many people don’t know the meanings of the words. In fact, things like that often happen in a daily life. For example when I was having dinner with my family and watching a TV show. And there was this comedian and said He is “ interi” And then I could get the meaning of the word by shortening a word “ intelligent”. It is obvious that I couldn’t have got it if I hadn’t studied English. My mother and father asked me what the meaning of the word. Fortunately my sister knew the word. It was probably the most awkward situation ever.
It is pretty hard to understand the loanwords. But from young people’s point of view , once you know how to use the loanwords it is so useful to convey a message quickly . Also I personally think it sounds more natural to use the loanwords than to use ordinary formal words. Because sometimes what we usually use in a daily conversation is a little bit formal. In other words those words are uncool. For example if you want to say introvert in Japanese, it would be better for young people to say INDOAHA. Otherwise it would sound too formal.
