Yesterday , I went to Tokyo Disneyland with my close friends, and it was truly an unforgettable experience. From the moment we entered the park, I felt like I had stepped into a different world full of magic and excitement. We enjoyed many attractions together, took countless photos, and laughed all day long. Even though I still had reports and assignments waiting for me at university, I decided to forget about them for a while and fully enjoy the moment. That short break helped me refresh both my mind and my heart.I am especially grateful that I was able to meet these wonderful friends at university. They are all very kind, cheerful, and cute, and being with them always makes me feel comfortable and happy. We support each other, share our worries, and celebrate small achievements together. Spending time with them reminds me how important friendships are in my life.Traveling with friends has become one of my favorite hobbies. Through traveling, I can see new places, experience different atmospheres, and create precious memories that will stay with me forever. Each trip teaches me something new, not only about the world but also about myself. In the future, I hope to travel with many different people and see many beautiful landscapes around the world. I want to continue making memories, meeting new people, and enjoying every moment of my life to the fullest.

Today in class, we talked about the topic “Can Japanese comedy become part of the tourism industry?” I thought that Japanese comedy can become a tourism resource if people make enough effort. There are some problems with Japanese comedy. For example, many jokes use puns and wordplay, so they are hard for foreign people to understand if they do not know Japanese well. Also, some comedy is based on Japanese news, history, or traditions, so people from other countries may not understand why it is funny. However, I think there are also positive points. Not all Japanese comedy depends on language. Physical comedy, such as funny movements, facial expressions, and actions, can be understood by people from different cultures. This kind of comedy is easier for foreign tourists to enjoy. In addition, if shows use English subtitles or give simple explanations before the performance, foreign audiences can understand the story better. Learning a little about Japanese culture through comedy can also be a fun experience for tourists. Because of these reasons, I think Japanese comedy has the potential to attract foreign visitors. If comedians and theaters think more about foreign audiences and use simple ideas to help them understand, Japanese comedy can become one reason for people to visit Japan.

Could you check my text please? Is “Doing nothing” a modern sin? The last week I had a sick leave bacause of the flu I got. I had different symptoms, such as a sorethroat and nose congestion, I didn’t feel very weak though. But even though I had a legal reason not to work, I went on working from home. Surely not in a usual way, but in a more gentle mode. What I’m trying to say is I couldn’t just lie and do nothing. And I think there a few reasons why. Firstly, I have my own KPI at work, that I finally need to get. Doing nothing now means that later I’ll need to work much harder. The second reason is based on the fact that doing nothing is frowned upon in society and I felt uncomfortable doing nothing even having a sick leave. Surely if I had strong symptoms, such as high body tempreture or headache, I would easily justify my idleness. Or being in a different environment, such as in hospital, definitely wouldn’t give me that uncomfortable feeling. Of course, in the end it’s very personal thing and it’s determined by your character, but it’s hard to deny that there is a taboo of “Doing nothing” and people often feel guilty for unproductive downtime. Thank you!
