Language challenge October 6th, 2020 Today is the 20th day of my 30 days challenge. It has been a while since I’ve done the challenge last time. Today I read interesting news which is about a Japanese company makes UV lumps that kill Coronavirus. UV lumps have already been used in public places such as trains and hospitals to eliminate viruses. But most of them are not used when people are around because those UV lumps are harmful for people and can damage skin and eyes. However, a Japanese company called Ushio made a new lump; Care222 which can kill viruses and it is much safer for people. 1: what are you thought on the care222? I think it is very helpful equipment to stop spreading corona. I hope Japanese government will introduces the lumps to a lot of public places and improve the status of corona. 2: what would you say the most important medical inventions of the last 100? I would say 3D printed body parts. I believe it is one of latest technologies in the medical field. I have head that 3D priming technology can do bio printing , growing cells from a patient’s stem cell. If we can use those technologies, transplant surgery will be more accessible for everyone and many lives will be saved.

I had a lot of fun in last weekend. I went to San Diego with my boyfriend’s family to celebrate his mom’s birthday. It’s been a while to go on a family trip since corona started to spread out in the US so I was excited for the day trip. First we headed to Coronado beach driving on Coronado bridge. The view from the bridge was pretty, we could see many boats on the sea and it make me feel like I’m on vacation. After we got the beach, we walked to Hotel Del Coronado and hung out at the inside garden and ate gelatos. That was very good place to relax and chill out. I want to stay the hotel next time when we visit Coronado:)

Even though I slept 8 hours last night, when I woke up this morning, I felt tired. I couldn’t focus on my job in the morning but fortunately I didn’t have many orders that I had to process so I could take some time until my brain started working fully. When I’m not busy, it is like torture for me to sit in front of a computer for 8 hours. Today was one of those days so I cleaned up my room thoroughly for a change. After I was done with my work, my boyfriend ,Gavin who is my boyfriend’s nephew and I went to Delamo shopping mall for the first time in a long time. Unfortunately we found out the main mall is temporarily closed after we got there but we were still able to enjoy shopping. *I couldn’t record from here I also got nice gifts for my boyfriend’s mother. Her birthday is coming soon so I’m glad that I could make it to find something perfect for her:)

9/15/20 I’m currently living in California and working for a industrial car company as a trainee. I want to practice speaking English more because I hardly speak English in my job. From today, I will record myself what happened everyday as much as I can. Today was just an ordinary day. I woke up at 7:55 am which was 5 minutes before I have to get started my job. As you can imagine, I’m a very lazy person. Since I started to work from home, I have a breakfast after 11 am and skip a lunch then eat dinner at 7pm. After I got off of work, I went to a thrift shop and looked for nice tops. I end up not buying anything but it was fun. * I could record this part because of limitations. After that I did laundry and ate out with my boyfriend. We had two slices of pizza each other:) I hope tomorrow will be a better day!

Naomi Osaka wins 3rd Grand Slam, highlights racial injustice Today is the 19 th day of my 30-days challenge. I’m writing about Naomi's actions at the Grand slam. She won the 3rd Gland slam 2 days ago. She did a really good job! Before the tournament started, she also posted supportive comments to Black Lives Matter on her SNS accounts. She put a spotlight on the racial injustice by wearing masks with names of Black victims of violence. I respect her actions because it gives us a chance to talk about it and keep thinking about racial injustice. But I was sad when I heard most of her sponsor companies, which are most Japanese companies, didn't comment on those masks. They seem to be afraid to mention it because they might think it has nothing to do with them. One of the companies even said “ it is her personal matter”. I wanted them to show their supportive attitude to her and treat the racial injustice as a big issue.

August 30th, 2020 Today is the 18th day of my 30-days challenge. I'm thinking of writing about if athletes and celebrities are Overpaid. What athletes and celebrities do is worth the money they get? I would say, what they do is worth the money that they got. For athletes, the people who become athletes are handful and they can entertain a lot of people by incredible skills or impressive performances that ordinary people can't mimic. Also, their jobs are not stable rather it's risky in the long run. For those reason, I think the money they get is reasonable and worth it. Athletes and celebrities are not good role models? I want to say it completely depends of athletes and celebrities. Some of them might abuse their fame and do illegal things. As a result, people who do the same bad things might think we can also be forgiven because those athletes were doing same shits. But a lot of athletes and celebrities are giving good impacts and great opportunities to know new things like world affairs , environmental problems and so on. I think their hard works that make our place better are admired and appreciated by people. Thank you for reading my note to the end. Please feel free to leave your comments and correct my errors.

August 27th, 2020 Today is the 18th day of my 30 days challenge. Today, I want to write about Animals in Medical Research. Do you think animals should be used for medical research? I know it is always a controversial topic. In the ideal world, the value of lives should be equal and we should not waste animal's lives for any reason. But, it is true that humans were able to prolong their life to develop medical technologies by sacrificing a lot of animals in medical tests. Recently I'm realizing how important it is to have high quality medical practices especially since we are experiencing this pandemic right now. It's too hard to conclude my opinion , but I think we should always remember and appreciate that there are many animals which have died for human benefits.

August 25th, 2020 This is the 17th day of my 30-days challenge. From today, I would like to stating my opinion to topics. Today, I'm writing about Age Restrictions on Social Media. Age restrictions should be placed on social media sites? I would say, I agree to restrict information on social media depends on age. There are so much information on social media that it difficult for even adults to judge whether the information is reliable or not. Also, social media can be taken advantage of for advertisements or promotions easily. If you don't have enough knowledges to handle a lot of information, you might get wrong information and it might get you bad influence in your real life. I think age restriction on social media can protect young people not to ruin their life. Age restrictions prevent cyber bullying? Personally, I think age have nothing to do with cyber bullying. Stating your opinion on social media is much easier than saying it in person. There is no doubt that opinions turn to clitics and abusive gradually, which are the most element of cyber bullying. In my opinion, we need to make a reasonable legal means in order to stop cyber bullying more than age restriction. The time that children spend on social networking sites should be supervised by parents? Physically speaking, spending a long time on social networking is not good for their health. Loss of Eyesight and Impaired motor skills would occur to children. On the other hand, using social networking in education is becoming more popular nowadays so it might be challenging to find a good balance of on/off social networking. If I become a parent, I try to make good use of social networking while protecting children's health. Thank you for reading my note to the end.

August 12th, 2020 Today is the 16th day of my 30-days challenge. I have been getting lazy since I started working from home. I have to clock in my time card before 8 pm to get job started ,but I usually sleep until 7:55 am. As you expect, I have no time to eat breakfast before I start working so I am hungry and not forcasing on my task completely. I had wanted to change my bad habit and today finally I broke my bad habit! I woke up at 7:00 am and made breakfast for me and my boyfriend. I try to keep up doing it as long as I can:) Today, I want to write about sustainable clothes. Recently I started being interesting in sustainable clothes. I often spend my spare time browsing instagram's stories and recently I noticed that there are so many adds of clothes brands in my stories. One time, I swiped up the add and went to the clothes store’s website because it was mytaste. The price of clothes was much expensive that would be, so I was wondering it was made by a famous bland, but it turned out they were producing sustainable fusion. I have heard of the word before ,but I had no idea what the sustainable fusion is. According to the website, they only use natural and organically sourced materials and take care of all processes of making clothes so that they can ensure their products are produced ethically. I thought their business model was kind of opposite to fast fusion such as H&M and Forever 21. They are aware that they will never be as cheap as fast fashion brands , but I think it is worth it to spend money on the sustainable clothes because they choose eco- friendly materials for their clothes , pay the fair wage to farmers or dressmakers and make them by hand carefully. I agreed with the policy of the company and also liked the style of the clothes , so I decided to buy 2 pieces of different color tops!! I've decided to try to make good choices to the environment as much as I can from now on:) Thank you for reading my note to the end. Please feel free to leave your comments and correct my errors.
