HOMEWORK# ２

1.Death and Funerals

a. Do you have any international friends or a host family? If so, how would you express your condolences to them if a family member died? If not, then how would you express consolences to an American host family if their Grandmother died?

I don't have any international friends or a host family. If I express consolences to them, I can't speak a word to them because they shocked at her death. I express them something, and I think that I express to keep their spirits high. Then, I sit down beside them.

b. Have you ever been to a foreign funeral?

No, I don't have. I have never been to a foreign funeral.


2. The language of Clothes (preparation for next weeks topic)

a.Why are Japanese designer label crazy? Why is what you wear so important?

Because I think that they are fascinated with designer's idea or fashion model. And, me too. They pay a lot of money because they want to buy brand-name goods. When I take the job, I want to buy it one or two.

The wearing clothes in Japan is judged by a person. Japanese clothes have personality. they sometimes judge their character by clothes. So Japanese people care a lot about their personal appearance. When I went to foreign country, their clothes is simple, but I think that their clothes is cool!! I think that Japanese people should learn them.

b.What does “Don’t judge a book by it’s cover.” mean to you?

I think that “Don't judge a book by it's cover.” means “Don't judge a person how they looks.” A little while ago, I talked about judging their character by clothes. I often judge a person by their appearance or clothes. When I choose a book, I surely decide to read a book's plot. I think that I can know the person for the first time by talking with the person.
