The problem in Japan that I think is "few opportunities to use English". I believe that English is a necessary skill to communicate with foreign people. I think that speaking English leads to communication with people in various fields smoothly, which will lead to enriching my life. I am working on studying English from the first grade of primary school, but still speaking English fluently is difficult. Many Japanese also have English education at school, but few people can speak English fluently. While I spend a lot of time, it is a pity that I can only learn English inefficiently. I think that it was because there was no opportunity to use English as a cause. Actually, when I went to study abroad in Malaysia, I improved English skills a little by actively talking. Not through even speak Japanese, if you can not talk only in English, I think up is natural and English ability to adapt to its environment. In Malaysia, some people did not have the opportunity to speak English until entering the university because the area where they were raised was the Chinese language, but at university it is necessary to communicate not only with Chinese but also with English Because there was not, there was a person who improved. Currently, I am trying to communicate with my friends in Malaysia through LINE and improve the English ability. In this way, I think that abilities of nature and English will go up if you have foreign friends. In order to communicate more smoothly, you learn with nature. However, in Japan, there is almost no opportunity to contact with overseas people. Without the opportunity to use English, I think that there is nothing to really learn if studying English in class. So many elementary school students have the question "Why do I have to study English?" In terms of work, there are so many companies that markets overseas, English skills are important. I think that it is difficult to set where to motivate studying English until after the opportunity to actually use English comes from work. I hope to have more opportunities to use English before I get to work.

The part that I agree with is that many Japanese children hesitate or fear failure when advocating their opinion. What I can not agree with is trying to leave the solution to the school. I think that it is commonplace for children who are inexperienced compared to adults to become timid when they do something. For example, children are innocent and do not jump into the river for defenseless. When they jump into the river, they observe the flow of the river from the surface and see if they can do for themselves. Ability to detect danger, ability to judge whether it exceeds your abilities is very important in early childhood. If you lack the ability to perceive danger, you will drown in the river. You should have experience in your childhood. I think that is not something you can learn by school education alone. If you experience more things, you will be able to express yourself with nature and confidence. In other words, I think experience lacking in Japanese children is experience. I feel that education that is enthusiastic in Japan is left to education at school for anything. Is it really all I need? If you rely on education at school, the amount of work done by the teacher at school will be so much that the time to "watch over" children will decrease. If time spent watching children decreases, children will have less time to work freely and will grow to adults with very narrow vision. Even adults will find it difficult to insist on their own opinion if the view is narrow and the number of adults whose opinions are biased is large. In addition, problems arising from bias of such opinions can develop not only to weak self-assertiveness but also to bullying problems. I think that what is important is not to leave the school. I would like to have many things experienced in the local community, not at school. Because outside is dangerous, some people may think that they should learn at a safe school. That is different. In recent years in Japan, community involvement is very thin, adult men are recognized as "suspicious people" simply by talking to elementary school students under school and "Hello". Adult men become indifferent to their children because they do not want to be thought of as suspicious individuals. Children who are not interested in adults are targeted by genuine suspicious individuals. There are many suspicious people, so it is not dangerous outside. If the area is impressed with children, outside is the perfect place to gain experience.
