PART C_2

America is truly a melting pot of the world’s ethnic groups. Roughly 80% of Americans are considered “white,” 13% are African American, and 4.5% are “Asian.” The rest are natives of Alaska, Hawaii, or another Pacific island. About 15% of the population come from Spanish-speaking countries. These people come from places like Spain, Mexico, and Central or South America. In fact, most people in America have immigrant backgrounds. A typical “white” person in America might be part British, part German, and even part Italian. To be “American,” then, is to be a mixture of ethnic groups.

Question:
First, read the following passage about “melting pot” and “salad bowl.” Then, based on your understanding of the concepts, describe how Japan is doing as far as the issue of immigration is concerned.

The USA has traditionally been referred to as a typical case of a “melting pot.” Generations of immigrants have melted together. They have abandoned their cultures to get assimilated into mainstream society. Today, however, cultural diversity is considered a positive thing globally, and people of different cultures try to live in harmony in much of the world. This model of racial integration is called a “salad bowl.” In a bowl of salad, the lettuce, tomatoes, and carrots come together, but they do not lose their unique features.

PART B_2

Hi, Emma. What’s New Year’s Eve like in the Philippines?
Well, New Year’s Eve here is quite the celebration!
We usually wear red because we believe it’s an auspicious color
and we cook tons of food.
We also prepare twelve fruits for good luck.
We’re very superstitious.
How about in Mexico?

Oh, I see. We usually eat twelve grapes in sixty seconds.
They say that if you successfully eat them before midnight all your twelve wishes will come true and you’ll have good luck throughout the new year.
Oh wow, I would like to try that as well.

Feel free to do it! Just be careful, you might choke.
Yes, thank you.
Oh, you know what, on the news, there was this man who was a skeptic
and said all new year’s rituals are irrational.
He also criticized people who believed 7 is a lucky number and
13 is an unlucky number.

Well, to each one’s own. There’s no harm in trying rituals or believing something as long as we don’t let them consume us.
Exactly. We must also work hard, have faith, and be good to others.

Yes. I think those are important factors that create good luck. I am looking forward to turning over a new leaf this year.

You will read aloud the passage below. Please repeat after me. I will check your pronunciation and intonation.
(Please send the mispronounced words and expressions to your student.)

PART C_2

In Japan, if you do something wrong, your parents might lock you out of the house. You might have the experience of being told, “Get out of the house!” In the States, however, you are forbidden to leave the house. We call this “being grounded.” This cultural difference suggests a deeply embedded concept of what a “house” represents. Locking children out suggests that home is a place where they want to be, a place of safety and solace. The outside world is a dangerous place where children must face their punishment for breaking the rules. By contrast, forbidding a child to go outside suggests that being confined to the house is distressing. A difference in culture is a difference in perspective.

Read the following description of the difference between “house” and “home” and tell an opinion about your ideal house and home.

——————————–
When you talk about a house, you mean a physical building that is made of bricks, cement, and all the other raw materials. But the moment you call it “home,” the meaning changes. By “home,” we mean a place where you live with your families and loved ones. “Home” represents comfort and safety.

The meaning of both words is very clear. All you have to do is just pay a little attention to it. A home is a place where you feel special and it has some value to you. Also, “home” is the location where you feel you belong. But a house is just a building and it has no meaning to you. Well, that’s the difference between “home” and “house.”

● My ideal house:
● My ideal home:
