Blog #4 Summer time system

Hi,  I'm Juri.

What a hot night today!!!! It disturbs my sleep:( I don't like summer because I am sensitive to heat!

  By the way, have you ever thought about summer time system?? Of course, you  have heard it at least one.Summer time system is the part of year when we advance our clocks by one hour. More than 70 countries introduce it. Also in Japan, some coporations introduce it. This change helps to keep the hours of daylight coodinated with the time that people are active. The first time I heard the idea, I thought it was a very nice idea because it helped us save electricity!To my surprise, however, about 70% people disagree in Japan. Why?The reason is a lot....
>We can't expect summer time system to save electricity because a peak of energy's consumption is same as summer time.
>Overtime work just keeps on increasing.
>Japanese sunsets are earlier than fotreign countries',
  so it doesn't go with Japanese lifestyle.
>It is hard for some people in delicate health to change their lifestyle.

What do you think?



How about your country, Ms.MacGregor? Please tell me:)

Blog#3: My favorite book

   Hi, I'm Yuri. I read "Tenku No Hachi" last week. This book was written by Keigo Higashino and it was written about thirteen years ago. But, the content of the book is mainly about nuclear power generation and an atomic reactor, so it contains a lot of information about that which we have to know. A lot of technical terms is used in this book, but there are a lot of thrilling scenes in this book, so I think you can read it at one go! In addition, Keigo Higashino wrote any other books and I want you to read those books, "Dying Eye" and "Genya". These are very interesting! Please read these books by all means:)

Blog#2 Shopping

 Hi! I'm Saho. Going Shopping is one of my hobbies.
 The other day, I went to Ikebukuro to go shopping. I bought a pair of shoes.




 I was very happy to buy it because I had looked for red shoes for a long time. I bought it at Sunshine. I often went there, but these days, I often go to LUMINE because it was redecorated, and now, there are a lot of shops I like. My favorite shops are PLAZA, MAJESTIC LEGON, PAGEBOY, and archieve. Also, LUMINE is near my place of part-time job. So I go there before my part-time job.

 Where do you often go shopping? Please let me know:-)

Blog#1: My favorite restaurant

Hi, my name is Yuri.

   I'm going to introduce my favorite restaurant to you. My favorite restaurant is "salvatore" . "Salvatore" is an Italian restaurant in Tamaplaza. There are various kinds of food, for example, salad, pizza, pasta, ...and so on. And, at that restaurant you can eat as much as you like all you want for 1500 yen! I like margherita pizza in particular.

                                                         It's simple pizza, but so delicious:)

Please go there by all means!
