If you don’t have much,you don’t have much to think about 多くを持たなければ、いろいろ考えずにすみます |

This article's Q&A worksheet is a little more difficult, but it's a good article from a foreigner's perspective. After living and traveling around Asia, I now find the smaller style homes more comfortable and relaxing than the larger western style houses or apartments. There are so many benefits to a smaller place, some of which are mentioned in this article. | A | 記事 ワークシート |

Giving and receiving – more complicated than in the West 日本での贈答は西洋より複雑ですね |
2014.10.5 AW5p |
This article discusses what many foreigners have thought about and discussed many times. In Japan, when we receive a gift, we're very grateful and happy, but it's a little complicated to figure out what to do next. Maybe many Japanese natives find it a little complicated too. However, no matter what our thoughts are, either being Japanese or a foreigner, we can all appreciate the kindness and care that went into giving a gift to another. Plus, by giving AND receiving, it probably helps out the economy a little more as well! | A | 記事 ワークシート |

While I don't agree with everything the writer says, it's still a good
example of what some foreigners may think about onsens/hot springs. It
also gives me the chance to share my own hot springs experiences
when growing up in Oregon, USA. We had many natural, outdoor hot
springs, only a short drive away from my house. My family would
pack a lunch and drive to the location. From the road, or parking
lot, we would then hike down the forest trail and change into our swimsuits
once we reached the hot springs. The hot springs would usually
flow into a small river/stream, so this created different temperatures
depending on where you sat in the slow moving river. Some of these
hot springs were more popular than others, but all were free and natural.
It was always a great experience! ワークシートあり |

Connections: Parking

2014.1.5 AW5p |
While living in America, I was asked, "Why do you always park
backwards?" Now living in Japan, I feel perfectly at home with
how I park my car. However, this topic has come up many times among
foreigners! This article discusses this topic as well as a few other
things that could be discussed in class. For example, the driving
age in other countries. In my country, each state is in control of
the legal age of when you can start driving. Some states allow one
to start driving, with supervision, at the age of 14! In Oregon,
I was allowed a "Learner's Permit" to start driving with my parents
at the age of 15. ワークシートあり |

Czech Christmas culture:fun, fascinating

2013.12.22 AW5p |
初級者用のページから。 Many countries have interesting Christmas traditions. This article is a great way to show this! What might be normal for one culture, might seem quite different to another. I remember being really surprised to hear that eating chicken for Christmas was popular in Japan! After some research, I learned that KFC helped start this by marketing it in the 1970s. For this reason, and turkey being more difficult to find and cook in many places in Japan, eating chicken for Christmas makes more sense now.. ワークシートあり |
