Thank you so much, Sarah.
It was an enjoyable, tactful class, as always, from the the material based on the article "Social Conformity" and "Japanese Workers Adopt Fake Names for Safety" that you kindly selected on 28 Sep. 2025.
In general, Japanese people are more likely to conform to social norms for some reasons.
This behavior is called "conform pressure", which is often seen in Japanese society.
One of the reason for the bizzare behaivior is Japan's education system and school days.
In a school, teachers and older students are respectable entities, so younger students recognize that they must follow them.
For that reason, the "Social Conformity" is based on the experience.
Anyway, I'm looking forward to taking your next class.

Thank you so much, Sarah.
It was an enjoyable, tactful class, as always, from the the material based on my unfamilier word "PREDICAMENT" that you kindly selected on 21 Sep. 2025.
The "predicament" means a tough or tricky situation, usually one that's unpleasant, confusing, or hard to get out of.
Of course, I have experienced many predicaments in my life. However, I barely made it through them and sometimes compromised.
We should avoid any predicaments as much as possible, but if we unfortunately encounter them, they will be a good experience.
Anyway, I'm looking forward to taking your next class.

Thank you so much, Sarah. It was an enjoyable, tactful class, as always, from the the material based on phrasal verba and a video related to 'Sleep' that you kindly selected on 14 Sep. 2025.
1) sleep in
2) sleep on it
3) sleep like a baby
4) lose sleep over something
5) toss & turn
I knew 1) and 3), but the others were unfamiliar to me. The most difficult phrasal verb is number 3) because it's hard to literally imagine its meaning.
Regarding the video about a man who doesn't sleep at all, I remembered another guy who doesn't sleep at all.
According to medical observation, the man actually took a very short nap while relaxing or taking rest.
For that reason, I doubt the case of Quang namam in Vietnam.
Anyway, I'm looking forward to taking your next class.

Thank you so much, Sarah.
It was an enjoyable, tactful class, as always, from the the material based on the article "POSITIVE FRAMING", "HARASSMENT" that you kindly selected on 7 Sep. 2025.
As I mentioned in class, there is a seniority system in Japanese society. This system means that the more older employees there are, the more they are respected and the higher their salaries increase.
For that reason, senior employees do not sue younger employees because the workplace atmosphere is uncomfortable.
Considering the UK case, I think both younger and older employees need to compromise to get along.
Anyway, I'm looking forward to taking your next class.

Thank you so much, Sarah.
It was an enjoyable, tactful class, as always, from the the material based on the article "Stereotyping in Movies - Word Formation" and "Many U.S. Workers Feel Guilty About Using Paid Leave" that you kindly selected on 4 Sep. 2025.
1. "Stereotyping in Movies - Word Formation"
There are some unfamiliar word formation as below.
- Stereotypes are simple, one-dimensional [portrayals] of people.
- even the [heroic] male lion
- even in [amimated] movies
2. "Many U.S. Workers Feel Guilty About Using Paid Leave"
As I mentioned in the lesson, I was surprised to read the article because U.S. workers are more likely to feel guilty about using paid holidays than Japanese workers.
Based on my experience, workers in Japanese companies rarely use their paid holidays.
Anyway, I'm looking forward to taking your next class.
