Health care system for elderly



http://www.breitbart.com/article.php?id=D94QMQP8A&show_article=1&catnum=0

According from the news, the government pay attention to elders in their country by produce and revise an health care system. This will make many people feel more comfortable. I think this system is very important for some people because some elders do not know how to be healthy and some of them do not have much money to see doctors. I think this system will be very useful for them. I hope Thai government may improve this kind of policy because there are many elders in Thailand too. If it happen, I think it can make our country look more livable.

After Japan can go to the second round of the world cup 2010, a coach show his responsibility by resign from the team. I think no one was angry at him. Everyone know that he did his best and he satisfy to his work. This was the first time in many years that Asia team could get in the second round. However, they got the new coach already. He is Italian called Zaccheroni. This man do not want to make Japanese feel disappointed with him. He has to prove his ability by the Asian Cup in Qatar in January 2011. In my opinion, I think Japanese may want to exchange an knowledge about techniques between Europe and Asia. This is a good idea, everyone should find more information from the professional person. I think Zaccheroni may do a good job. He may combine attitudes from Japan and Italy perfectly.

Forgetting how to write in China and Japan

According to the news, some kids forget how to write their own language. Some of them told that they know a meaning and know how to pronounce, but they forget how to write it! An adult think that technologies such as mobile phone and computer are a main cause because they make kids write easier. Japanese letters are quite complex and have many details. Mobile phone can gather the complex letter in only one button. If kids write text in technologies too much, they may forget all of letter writing. I think this is a serious problem because language is a thing that inherit from our ancestors. In my opinion, the solution is writing with hand. Schools should let the students in a young generation to write by their hands. This may help us to save our language to exist forever.

There are many ways to learn Japanese. Nowadays, we can learn Japanese from technologies. When you click the link, you can see many program that can teach you Japanese easier and quicker. This make we know the new way to study Japanese. In my opinion, it is good for some people who want to learn by themselves and some people who do not have enough time to study at a institution. For some people, this way may not suitable for them because they think that the program can not give them enough knowledge. It is depend on person tochoose their own way to study Japanese.

Toyota is a top company to produce an engine. They have done many works since 1867. At that time, there were not many company which could create an effective technology. Nowadays Toyota can sell about million cars worldwide.

From the news, Toyota recall million cars from many countries such as United States, Canada and Mexico. They found that some parts of them did not work. Toyota created many wonderful transportations, but this time they were not cautious enough. I think this will be an important experience for them. This news make me feel that when I do something, I have to pay attention to every part of it,otherwise I have to respond the thing that I did.

Journalists asked Asashoryu about reformation to the national sport. Asashoryu was a Sumo man, but he is out because of a case that he did. He said that the person who comes to reform the sport must be a person who is close to a practice.
According from the news, I think it is important to find a professional person to reform the national sport. That person should has both experience, skills and always steady. Asashoryu is an example about hot-tempere person. The news said that he harmed a man near a nightclub. This made him had to get out of Sumo sport forever. I can know that Japan pay attention to manners very much even in the sport circle. If you want to go to Japan, you should learn some manners before you go.

Explore Tokyo's waterways

Tokyo’s waterways have some tours designed to show how our life is connected to the rivers. An NPO called Enjoy Eco School operates group tours, using specially designed exhaust-free electric boats to cause minimal impact to the environment.

Different tours explore the Kanda-Nihonbashi, Onagi River and Tennozu areas on half- and full-day trips that offer glimpses of turtles, wild birds and other aquatic animals that inhabit the area. You can also learn about the boats that ply the rivers collecting garbage. Part of the cost goes toward supporting the organization’s monthly riverside cleanup gatherings. English tour guides are available on request

We can observe from the news that Japan has a wonderful environment. I think it is because Japanese always campaign to protect the abundance of the environment. I am the one who like to live in a pure surrounding. It is good to protect a nature that we live with. In my opinion, Thailand do not have a strict law about destroying an environment, so some places are not delightful as expected.
