Thank you so much, Sarah.
It was an enjoyable, tactful class, as always, from the the material based on the article "Italy Fines Shein Over 'Greenwashing' Claims" that you kindly selected on 10 Aug. 2025.
There are some fast fashion brands in Japan, such as UNIQLO, GU, H&M and SHIMAMURA.
I appreciate UNIQLO's clothing, but I don't rate it highly as apparel products, but I highly appreciate it as an underwear manufacturer due to its durability.
I'm not sure such fast fashion companies are doing 'greenwashing' as well as "Shein", but it is getting popular even in Japan.
I have no idea if the Japanese government can punish manufacturers for greenwashing under the current law, but I would not like to purchase their products.
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 "Japanese Teacher Gets in Trouble for Having a Side Job" that you kindly selected on 3 Aug. 2025.
A teacher in a public school in Japan has a good status because public servants are guaranteed stable salaries and never get fired unless they commit a crime. Of course, the teacher's salary was insufficient because he has reached the retirement age of 60. However, he should not have done side hustles to retain his status.
Meanwhile, only a few Japanese companies allow their employees to have side hustles, but they impose strict restrictions on these activities. I would not like to work in a side job to focus on my own job.
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 "UN Court Says Countries Can Sue Over Climate Damage" that you kindly selected on 27 July 2025.
As I mentioned in the lesson, the problem of climate change has remained unresolved for many years.
It would be difficult to resolve it because strict regulations may badly affect our industries.
Meanwhile, it was reported that the Ozone layer, which protects us from harmful rays, has been recovering due to our efforts.
We must continually strike a balance between protecting the environment and carrying out our production activities.
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 "Lottery Dream Turns Nightmare for 47,000 Norwegians Due to Glaring Error" that you kindly selected on 6 July 2025.
Based on what we learned in Norway, we should be suspicious of any message that claims you won the lottery.
Therefore, we should avoid buying luxury products until we receive the lottery reward in cash.
Meanwhile, the company's representative, the CEO, has resigned, but this won't resolve the issue.
However, I suppose that the operator or the engineer who caused in the issue should be blamed for the fault.
Additionally, the company should compensate the victims, for instance by paying 5-10% of the lottery reward.
Anyway, I'm looking forward to taking your next class. |

Thank you so much, Sarah.
As always, it was an enjoyable and tactful class from GRAMMAR that you kindly selected on June 29, 2025. "Verb Patterns: Infinitive or Gerund."
I reviewed the following questions and understood again that gerund (= verb+ing) means you did something but can’t recall it.
1. She tried to open her suitcase, but it was impossible without the key.
2. I’m not surprised you found the film confusing – you didn’t stop talking all the way through!
3. I keep waking up at 3 a.m. I’ve tried to go to bed earlier, but it doesn’t help.
4. I’ll never forget visiting India when I was a child.
5. I don’t remember buying this T-shirt. Maybe somebody gave it to me.
6. We often forget to turn the computer off at night.
7. Before you go to bed, please remember to lock the front door.
8. There was an icy wind, so she stopped to do up her coat.
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 video "Why it was the right decision for Outdoor Boys to quit" that you kindly selected on 8 June 2025.
I agree with YouTuber Luke's decision to prioritize his family over making money.
If I were a YouTuber, I would choose the same desicion, because I wouldn't able to eudure, unknown people know about me and my family through the videos.
As I mentioned in the lesson, Luke should have used digital editing to blur his family's faces, such as the mosaic effect.
A famous Japanese YouTuber never shows his family's faces. This proves his intention to continue working as a YouTuber.
Anyway, I'm looking forward to taking your next class. |

Thank you so much, Sarah. It was an enjoyable, tactful class, as always on 25 May 2025.
I leared the following phrasal verbs. I could imagine the meanings of 1, 2, 4, and 5, but I had difficulty estimating the meaning of 2.
1) Bend the rules
2) Under the radar
3) Get off scot-free
4) Turn a blind eye
5) Take the law into one’s own hands
I created sentences using the phrasal verbs mentioned above.
Some elite people in Japan were sometimes observed to get off scot-free for their misdeeds.
Meanwhile, some authorities turned a blind eye to crimes to avoid criticizing the elite.
Nowadays, it seems that the behavior has decreased due to the development of social media.
Otherwise, the behavior may be under the radar to avoid the complaints from the citizens.
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 listening material "Friends are telling unusual stories about people breaking the law." that you kindly selected on 18 May 2025.
I made a mistake in the third question.
I looked for the reason and found that I couldn't catch the words "plumber" and "call-forwarding".
I knew these words, but when I heard them, I didn't know what they meant.
Anyway, I'm looking forward to taking your next class. |
