Good day! My name is Teacher Benjane, and I'm excited to help you learn English. :)
My teaching style in English is fun, engaging, and easy to understand. Whether you're just starting to learn the English language, or looking to improve your skills. I'm here to support you every step of the way.
Let's make learning English enjoyable together! Book a class with me, and let's start this exciting journey.
Thank you so much, Benjane.
It was an enjoyable, tactful class, as always, from the the material based on the article "Japan's free high school policy may provoke exodus from public schools" that you kindly selected on 22 June 2025.
As a Tokyo resident, I support the idea of the Tokyo municipality providing financial aid and support to public and private high schools.
Some of private schools in Tokyo prioritize profits over education. So, if Tokyo provides aid, private schools may raise tuition to maintain their profits.
Thus, I'm concerned that our paid taxes will be used to fund the profits of greedy private schools.
To avoid this worst case, Tokyo municipality should establish a strict rule regarding financial support to the private schools.
Anyway, I'm looking forward to taking your next class.

Thank you so much, Benjane.
It was an enjoyable, tactful class, as always, from the the material based on the YouTube video "France's National Assembly adopts bill to legalise assisted dying on first reading" that you kindly selected on 4 June 2025.
As I mentioned in class, "assisted dying" as euthanasia is illegal in Japan for now. The other day, a medical doctor who assisted in euthanasia was found guilty.
In my opinion, I think the Japanese government should consider amending the current law to legalize it.
However, there will be crimes that exploit euthanasia. Therefore, strict criteria should be implemented when revising the law.
Anyway, I'm looking forward to taking your next class.

Thank you so much, Benjane.
It was an enjoyable, tactful class, as always, from the the material based on the article "30% in US Use Astrology, Tarot or Fortune Tellers" that you kindly selected on 2 June 2025.
As I mentioned in class, this article reminds me of a distinctive stamp shop in Setagaya ward in Tokyo.
The shop sells handmade stamps, and the owner reads fortunes of the customer.
However, I do not trust the shop owner at all, because one of my acquaintances failed in his business and passed away due to lifestyle disease, despite being told his business would succeed.
Anyway, I'm looking forward to taking your next class.

Thank you so much, Benjane.
It was an enjoyable, tactful class, as always, from the the material based on the article "100 Men vs 1 Gorilla: Experts Join Viral Debat" that you kindly selected on 23 May 2025.
As I mentioned in the lesson, I estimate 100 men will win the fight due to the preponderance without any weapons.
However, most of the men would be severely wounded, and some may lose their lives.
It would be impossible for 100 men to attack the gorilla simultaneously.
I suppose fewer than 100 men will be able to defeat the gorilla.
Anyway, I'm looking forward to taking your next class.

Thank you so much, Benjane.
It was an enjoyable, tactful class, as always, from the the material based on the article "Japanese Couples Skip Marriage Over Surname Law" that you kindly selected on 17 May 2025.
As I mentioned in the lesson, no one around me chooses common-law marriage.
So, I assume that the ratio of people who have been in common-law marriages in Japan is low.
Meanwhile, I doubt Japan's surname law reduces the number of marriages because there are many other factors that can impede marriage.
The first is the low salary of men of marriageable age.
Second, most of Japanese men are not popular among women of marriageable age.
Anyway, I'm looking forward to taking your next class.

Thank you so much, Benjane.
It was an enjoyable, tactful class, as always, from the the material based on the article "Debate Better: How to Avoid 'Ad Hominem' Arguments" that you kindly selected on 7 May 2025.
It was not until I read the article that I knew about the 'Ad Hominem'.
When I worked at our previous company, one of my supervisors did the 'Ad Hominem'.
However, it had a negative and adverse effect on me because I felt very sad.
No one would be motivated with this terrible method.
Today, this behavior can be considered authority harassment, and the people who did it would be punished in Japan.
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 "Blood and Cuts: Germany's Finger Wrestling Competition" that you kindly selected on 4 May 2025.
It was not until I realized the Germany's Finger Wrestling is different from what I thought that I read the article.
The conventional finger wrestling, I thought, is to hold the opponent's thumb with my thumb for certain seconds.
However, the German finger wrestling is a kind of tug-of-war with your middle finger.
There is a small risk of injury. The athlete may lean back and fall out of the chair. This is probably the most likely 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 "The Truth Behind the Bite in Apple's Logo" that you kindly selected on 29 April 2025.
I realized that false rumors that derive from employees are more likely to be spread. So I decided that I should not disclose any information about our company.
Meanwhile, I could not expect the value of Apple computer to increase so much. Sometimes I think I should have bought as much Apple Inc. stock as I could.
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 "Is It Time for Divorce?" that you kindly selected on 18 April 2025.
I looked for the statistics data of divorce in the world.
The divorce rate in Japan is 1.7, the value is in the middle of the world.
The value in the US is 2.5 which was less than I thought, because I heard that the rate of US is very high due to their culture, behavior and characteristic.
I was a bit surprised that divorce is not allowed in the Philippines and annulment is an alternative way instead.
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 "Less Deep Sleep May Raise Risk of Alzheimer's" that you kindly selected on 6 April 2025.
After reading it, I agreed with the hypothesis.
I did not mention in the lesson, but I suppose fact that Alzheimer's will be common in Japan in the near future due to the aging society.
So the Japanese government should warn that the nation should have sufficient sleep hours.
In addition, do light exercise, communicate with other people to keep our brains active.
As I mentioned in the lesson, if I have to choose one of these recommended behaviors, I would choose getting enough sleep based on Super Cintirarian's experience.
Anyway, I'm looking forward to taking your next class.

An article about Rejection therapy we read was interesting. It is funny way to motivate myself for doing something. But If I’ll try that I have to chose appropriate place. And If my friends who is really shy say me to try this therapy, I recommend them other way. Becouse It might be hurt them becouse of heavy rejection.
See you next time!

It was an enjoyable, tactful class, as always, from the the material based on the article "Some people with ADHD thrive in periods of stress, new study shows" that you kindly selected on 23 March 2025.
It was not until I read the article that patients with ADHD can perform better under high pressure.
In general, high stress can impair performance.
However, this is a great discovery because people with ADHD can take advantage of being exposed to stress.
So, companies can hire people with ADHD as long as they understand the nature of ADHD.
Anyway, I'm looking forward to taking your next class.

I worked as a cashier at a video rental shop about ten years ago.
When I started to be hired there It just started to install self checkout machine. It seems like new and helpful for staff and employers but after installing it this rental shop closed. People who likes movies prefer Netflix rather than rental DVD. According to the article we studied today, Self checkout machine is expensive. Rental shop bought them but closed a few years later. It is difficult to decide which way is good New technology or old way.
See you next time!

It was an enjoyable, tactful class, as always, from the the material based on the article "What happens when you send cancer into space? | BBC News" that you kindly selected on 15 March 2025.
As I mentioned in the lesson, I agree with the idea of experiments for benefit for humans in space, such as this experiment, cancer in space.
In general, the exploration of space is not necessary unless the Earth gets degraded enough to live on. Human will be determined to leave the earth in the far future.
So we should pursue human benefit so far.
To be fair, experiments in the space costs a log, but there is a way to create a zero-gravity environment even on Earth.
If the experiment does not require long duration, it can be done with a low budget.
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 "Greece legalizes same-sex marriage" that you kindly selected on 2 March 2025.
The current Japanese law does not allow same-sex marriage. Meanwhile, the same-sex marriage movement has become popular even in Japan lately.
As I mentioned in the lesson, I don't agree with same-sex marriage for the following reasons.
- There are many issues that should be prioritized over marriage, such as the disparity between urban and rural areas.
- Same-sex marriage won't contribute to improve the low birth rate and the aging society.
Anyway, I'm looking forward to taking your next class.

It was an enjoyable, tactful class, as always, from the material based on the article "Woman Thrives 2 Months After Pig Organ Transplant" that you kindly selected on 6 Feb. 2025.
As I mentioned in the lesson, one of my colleagues took liver transplant from his brother as a donor.
The operation was successful and he has been working well since the operation. Despite advances in medical technology, even today it would be very difficult to find a donor.
So I agree with organ transplantation from animals. If this method is safely established, human life can be prolonged.
The only backlash will be that animal rights activists may criticize it.
Anyway, I'm looking forward to taking your next class.

It was an enjoyable, tactful class, as always, from the material based on the article "The Art of Accepting 'No': Rejection Therapy" that you kindly selected on 25 Jan. 2025.
As I mentioned in the lesson, I hesitated to ask someone because of my personality in our office, as if I did not want to bother them.
However, nowadays I try to ask my colleague for tasks in order to pursue the effectiveness of our work.
Meanwhile, the therapy in the article may have strong side effects as mentioned in the article, so I don't agree with it.
I suppose receiving a lot of rejection can cause collateral damage to us mentally, it discourages us more.
Anyway, I'm looking forward to taking your next class.
