Thank you so much, Anne.
It was an enjoyable, tactful class, as always, from the the material based on the article "Moving to a Walkable City Better for Health" that you kindly selected on 27 Aug. 2025.
There is a thesis that indicates living in an urban area is healthier than living in a rural area.
The reason is that living in a rural area requires having a vehicle, so there are fewer opportunities to walk.
Meanwhile, urban area, such as Tokyo metropolitan area has advanced public transporation systems, so residents are less likely to own vehicles. Consequently, the step count is higher in urban areas than in rural areas.
Anyway, I'm looking forward to taking your next class.

Thank you so much, Anne.
It was an enjoyable, tactful class, as always, from the the material based on the article "1,000 New 7-Eleven Stores Coming to Japan" that you kindly selected on 19 Aug. 2025.
As I mentioned in the lesson, I don't like the convenience store giant 7-Eleven for the following reasons:
1) Small portion size in its lunch box despite high price
The 7-Eleven lunch box uses a bumpy plastic design to hide its small capacity.
2) Exploitative franchise system
The 7-Eleven owners are likely to owe debts under the franchise system, including not only royalty fees but also additional expenses.
e.g., Unsold lunch boxes must be disposed of by the owner at their expense.
3) Dominant shop opening scheme
The 7-Eleven stores open in a certain area, for example, with new ones opening just 100–200 meters from each other.
Therefore, although the parent company can expect more profit, the profits of each 7-Eleven owner must be divided.
Anyway, I'm looking forward to taking your next class.

Thank you so much, Anne.
It was an enjoyable, tactful class, as always, from the the material based on the article "'Free-Range Parenting' — Is It Good for Kids?" that you kindly selected on 12 Aug. 2025.
As I mentioned in the lesson, I'm partially in agreement with the method of Free-Range Parenting.
In my opinion, free-range parenting is valid for younger children under 10 years old.
Once children reach the age of 10, parents should adopt ordinary and conventional methods for their children.
In some cases, disciplinary parenting may be appropriate.
Anyway, I'm looking forward to taking your next class.

Thank you so much, Anne.
It was an enjoyable, tactful class, as always, from the the material based on the article "Only One Country Produces Enough Food for Itself" that you kindly selected on 8 Aug. 2025.
It was not until I read the article that I first learned that Guyana is the only country to meet 100% self-sufficient.
Meanwhile, Japan's self-sufficiency rate has been quite low. If Japan is banned from importing food, our daily dishes would be very poor.
Based on Japan's history, Japan adopted a policy of national isolation during the Edo period. During this time, they achieved almost 100% self-sufficiency.
It would be possible to achieve 100% self-sufficiency even now, but I agree with the idea of increasing self-sufficiency.
Anyway, I'm looking forward to taking your next class.

It was an enjoyable, tactful class, as always, from the the material based on the article "Homework to Housework: How British Attitudes Have Changed" that you kindly selected on 30 July 2025.
The attitudes of the UK and Japan have changed over the past few decades. I suppose this change is similar to that in Japan.
The education and role of women have drastically improved.
Meanwhile, some critics still complain that certain roles, such as executives, politicians, and professors, are occupied by men.
Anyway, I'm looking forward to taking your next class.

Thank you so much, Anne.
It was an enjoyable, tactful class, as always, from the the material based on the article "American Man Spends Millions Trying to Live Forever" that you kindly selected on 29 July 2025.
This article reminded me of a Hollywood movie, "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button," which was released in 2008.
The story is about a man who is aging backward, with his appearance getting younger the older he gets.
Bryan Johnson has been trying to age backward, but it seems that he cannot achieve his goal at the moment.
Despite his spending a lot of money, it would be difficult to prevent aging. So, I was somewhat relieved by that fact.
However, he leads a very intense lifestyle when it comes to keeping fit. I respect him for that.
Anyway, I'm looking forward to taking your next class.

Thank you so much, Anne.
It was an enjoyable, tactful class, as always, from the the material based on the article "Most US Teens See College as Key to Life Goals" that you kindly selected on 24 July 2025.
Not only in the US, but also in Japan, teens acknowledge that a diploma from college or university is key to achieving life goals.
In addition, which college or university you graduate from is crucial in Japan because the number of children is smaller than the enrollment capacity all colleges or universities in Japan today.
For instance, there are nearly 1.7-1.8 million children in my generation, but my eldest daughter's generation has a population of about 07-0.8 million, which is only about half or one-third of my generation.
However, the grade and level of colleges and universities in Japan is more likely to be judged by thedeviation value/ variation from cram schools than the quality of research, education, or academic level. The fact sounds ridiculous to employees who work at the forefront of the field.
Anyway, I'm looking forward to taking your next class.

Thank you so much, Anne. We had a great conversation on 10 July, 2025.
During the lesson, we shared information about our company policies and differences each other. It was interesting.
The question of whether an ex-employee who once worked can work again in the same company is especially interesting.
Anyway, I'm looking forward to taking your next class.

Thank you so much, Anne.
It was an enjoyable, tactful class, as always, from the the material based on the article "One in Four US Adults Over 50 Expect to Never Retire" that you kindly selected on 8 July 2025.
Most Japanese people worry about their retirement budget as well as the US, because despite inflation, their salaries have been retained. Therefore, I expect that most of them will want to continue working at the same company.
However, not all companies can afford to hire senior employees, so only a few competent ones can continue working.
For this reason, I'd like to improve my skills so that I can be hired again.
Anyway, I'm looking forward to taking your next class.

It was an enjoyable, tactful class, as always, from the the material based on the article "Half of Japan's Elementary Students Have Used ChatGPT" that you kindly selected on 24 June 2025.
I recommend that students use AI technologies such as ChatGPT if they meet the following criteria:
1) First, learn AI literacy.
2) Never use it for homework and treatise.
3) Do not copy and paste the results.
Anyway, I'm looking forward to taking your next class.

Thank you so much, Anne.
It was a pleasant conversation about the "Difference between current and past junior high school students" on April 8, 2025.
As I mentioned in the lesson, when I was a junior high school student, there were some male students whose appearance was bizarre, such as unusual hairstyles and uniforms. At first glance, it was easy to see that they were juvenile delinquents.
On the other hand, the current male students seem to be smart when I attended the entrance ceremony of the public junior high school in Tokyo, no exceptions.
So, I really felt that time has changed.
Anyway, I'm looking forward to taking your next class.

It was an enjoyable, tactful class, as always, from the the material based on the article "Why Your Brain Loves Sugar (Even When You're Full)" that you kindly selected on 25 March 2025.
I tried to eat as much cake as I could in a restaurant at a fixed price.
However, I stopped eating them before I was full because my brain sends a signal to stop.
So we cannot eat sweets that are high in sugar, such as cakes, puddings, and candy, until we are full.
Sugar is a certain substance that can affect our brain.
As I mentioned in the lesson, sugar substitutes like "aspartame", "sucralose" are useful to prevent diabetes. However, having too much of them is a risk.
Anyway, I'm looking forward to taking your next class.

It was an enjoyable, tactful class, as always, from the the material based on the article "No-Buy List - A Money-Saving Trend for 2025" that you kindly selected on 18 Feb. 2025.
I have my No-Buy list in mind, and not actual paper list.
For instance, y No-Buy list includes a condominium, a car, a motorcycle, eating out, health/life insurance, jewelry, etc.
Today, these products are considered luxury items that only wealthy people can own.
In addition, I have alternative product list in mind. For example, chicken instead of beef, cheap SIM card provider by MVNO instead of three major cellerphone career, 2 or 3 generation before instead of current iPhone and so on.
I would like to enjoy my frugal lifestyle with these lists under Infulation.
Anyway, I'm looking forward to taking your next class.
