Hi, italki! My name is Kake. I'm an university student in Osaka, Japan. My dream is to study abroad and work internationally. So I need to improve my English more, but, because I'm not rich so much, I was looking for any way of learning English for free. I gonna make the most of this platform with no financial cost. I'm freshman here so I haven't decided yet how to use italki, but writing kind of diary would be main. In addition, I'd like to challenge language exchange online. I can teach Japanese and Japanese culture (but sorry, I'm not very good at anime and video games). I'm from Osaka, so I can also teach Kansai direct like "NANDEYANEN!" I will take IELTS exam in November preparing for student exchange program of my university. But my English definitely fall short of the IELTS 6.5 level. I'm really glad if you correct my sentence or even just reaction. And also, I will help Japanese leaners (people who learn Japanese) because it is the only one thing I can contribute now.

I think a good teacher has good active listening to understand the gaps detected in their students, gives feedback, and most importantly, shares material that the students can study and practice to enhance themselves.

Everyone today should pay a small amount from their income to help people who are suffering great poverty. To what extent do you agree? The wealth gap is increasing today; it is said the richest 1% of the world population own the 50% of the world wealth, while about 7 million people live in poverty. Some say everyone should pay a small amount from their income to support those who in need, but I would rather disagree with this opinion if it means everyone contributes the same amount. It is because poorer people carry heavier responsibility with flat rate taxes. It is unfair that the rich and poor carry the same responsibility regardless of their income levels. People make different amounts of money, and the ability for contribution vary. It is ludicrous to take the small amount from the people living in poverty. Similarly, it is not reasonable to impose the same amount on people earning just above the poverty line as the rich. There is simply no room for them to pay for others. Therefore, asking everyone is unacceptable. On the other hand, if the small amount is meant to change in accordance with the income, the statement could be justifiable. Obviously, people facing financial difficulties should pay nothing. The lower-middle class are encouraged to pay relatively smaller amount. The people considered to earn more than confortable income should make larger commitment. In conclusion, although it is necessary to assist people in escaping from poverty, people should pay different amounts according to their income.

It's rainy heavily today. My new semester has started, and I have a new schedule. Every day after school, I'll hit the gym for at least an hour of exercise. I'm starting today! They have several high-quality treadmills that can be adjusted for a more challenging workout. The tracks on them can tilt up a bit to create a upslope situation, interesting! But anyway, I still prefer jogging in the park. Given the recent weather here, I'll probably spend more time at the gym.
