Tweet of 春日英語教室　

Driving a small Daihatsu car, Ms. Kasuga is heading for her student's place. She has been visiting them for 8 years. A big sister and little sister are waiting for her. "One day, another my student's mom asked me if I could help her friend's daughters' English." As I wanted to expand my business, I said, "With pleasure." Luckily, their house was in my neighbourhood. So I started teaching them. The girls were 10 and 8 years old. We played games, sang songs or whatever. It was lovely time. My friend, who lived in Canada, helped their English through Skype as well. Ms. Kasuga, whose English has Japanese accents, has nothing problems with making people understood. However, she wanted her students to practice communication with a native English speaker. On every Thursday, Mr. Nishimura in Alberta, Canada,  joined them and enjoyed talking. However, time flies so quickly. The elder sister turned 18 years old and the younger one is 16 years old. They mus...

The following story is about 春日英語教室. She enrolled the English literature course, which was held in the evening. She did not mind attending the evening courses because her junior college was also an evening school. Moreover, she could slightly afford to go to university.  Just after graduating from high school, 18 year old girl whose jobs had been limited. She had worked at a small cafeteria in the college. 15 years later, however, she was a qualified junior high school teacher. So she worked during day time as a part time school teacher.   Nevertheless, it was quite hard for her to continue studying in the evening, which ended up making a living with scholarship (actually it was a student loan) and a three day a week part time job. "I wonder myself how to manage time or money at that time... " She looked back on the days.  Changing the trains twice, it took approximately one and half hours from her place to the university. On the train, it was time to read bo...

This is writing which I'm practicing "feature article (Press Release)" based on my business.  春日英語教室, of which scale is very small. If a wind blew it off, it would be gone away. Its advertisment, however, has been just issued in a famous nationwide magazine, "AERA Kids (see the image)" just came out last week. Wondering what makes an over 45 year old single lady, Ms. Kasuga keep doing this business, it has been a decades since she started. "It is because my students have followed me for such a long time. I think it is amazing.", she said. Looking back on 1999, which was before millennium, Ms. Kasuga was just 30 years old. A company where she worked merged with other company. It was not long before, she had to leave the company. Instead, the company paid retirement payment and whole year salary to the employees. "I was lucky enough to get a chance to learn English in overseas with that money.", she said remembering the days of London....

On borrowing "A Street Cat Named Bob" written by Jame Bowen from my hairstylist, I started reading. I did not stop reading it until over half pages of the book. It was not only interesting but also I found Jame' life has a similarity with my life. I am, however, amazed with James, who has been solving his matters by himself. Of course, he would not do it without Bob. But James attracted Bob, which ended up encouraging him to live or independent.  In my case, actually I do not have kind of Bob in my life. I'll tell you about myself first.  Brought up with 4 sisters, I could describe myself, which I am like Lizzy or Cordelia, who were more independent than other sisters. Yes, I can say that. I do not need properties, heritage or fortune without any efforts of my life. However, life is tough. Even though I tried to be like Lizzy or Cordelia, my life didn't work like them.  I was never strong physically and mentally.  I wanted to be strong. I had frie...

昨日はとんでもない日だった。が、ふとこの本を思い出した。あ〜先生もそうかぁ、「こんなワルは許せない！」なのね。しかし、ワルのことは実際その被害にあった者にしか分からないかも。私はこの本を読んだ時、そう思った。そしてワルについて怒る時間ももったいないし、価値がないかもしれない。しかし、昨日だけはこの本を読み、先生のお気持ちと共有させていただいた。要は今はすっかり忘れてしまっていたワルを数年ぶりに街で偶然見かけたのだった。確かに今は先生のおっしゃる通り「この怒りを半分だけ肯定してみよう」の意味がよくわかる。半分どころか１００％肯定しているかもしれない。ワルがいたから、怒りもあったけれど、それから自分は大きく成長し、何かこれだというものを確信したと思うから。あ〜そういえば、読めなかったニューヨークタームズだって読めて、知識を得、いっぱい他にも本と出会い、いい友達にも巡り合ってるし、仕事関係でも素敵な方と知り合ったし、旅行だって、カナダやアメリカ、カンボジア、台湾、ベルリン、ロンドンへも行った。よく考えたら、いいことがたくさんあった。多分、これからも。 先生、怒りは１００％肯定できるようになります。怒りがパワーとなり、楽園へと導いてくれたから。 https://www.amazon.co.jp/悪の力-集英社新書-姜尚中/dp/4087208036 ＊この本を買った時、サイン会もあり、先生とお話もできました❤️！

It's autumn now!  Long summer was over... It was, however, extremely hot this summer. My air conditioner finally broke down. I've got a new one. I spent a lot of money for that. Anyway, now it's autumn. The most comfortable season came to me. Numbers of people come down to tourism spots such as Kyoto or Kamakura.... But I'm staying at home because of my commitment. It felt boring... not get jealous though. On the way to the workplace, I opened my iBook of my iPad, started reading Jane Aye, in which shared me with her anxiety or concern in the ocean of her wedding with Mr. Rochester. Anyway, I am interested in the guy, Mr. Rochester, who is cool and attractive. Reading the book, as if I had been travelling to north England, only widespread heath can be seen while he wind blows grass, chilly and cold. Now I feel kind of satisfaction without actual traveling. Thank you for the great book!  Maybe next time, I'll read a story of which location is ...
