PART H_2

Some people find it strange that Japanese people celebrate Christmas. Japanese people seem less likely than Americans to be celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ. Indeed, the Christian population in Japan is said to be less than one percent. Then why is it that we see so many Christmas decorations and hear many Christmas songs during the holiday season? For one, many people in Japan spend their Christmas not with family but with a boyfriend or girlfriend. In a way, Christmas is just another “special occasion” in Japan, a reason to buy gifts or eat special food. In America, however, people spend their time with family on Christmas. To show respect and understanding for other religions, many Americans simply say “Happy Holidays” instead of “Merry Christmas.”

(Please send the mispronounced words and expressions to your student.)

PART E_2

When you go to the movies, do you stay in your seat until the end of the credit roll? Some people watch the whole thing; others don’t at all; and some do, depending on the movie. Personally, I like to watch movies until the very end, unless they are really boring. It’s because after the credit roll, some movies show short sequels, often with images that have a huge impact. Also, the credit roll gives me a chance to appreciate the great number of people involved in making the film, and to bask in the afterglow of the film while listening to the music. Once, I went to see a movie in a certain country. As soon as the movie finished, all people except me left their seats and I was left alone. No one was watching the credit roll, so they turned off the music and pulled the curtains down. Though everyone has a choice in what they like to watch, I couldn’t help thinking, “There is no one in this country who appreciates the afterglow of a movie?”

America is a country where equality between men and women is important. American women officially launched their fight for equal rights in 1848, in Seneca Falls, New York. It wasn’t until 1920 that women in America were granted a legal right to vote in civic elections. The famous Nineteenth Amendment gave them this right. More and more women are joining the labor market in America. These days, roughly 65% of American workers are women. However, on average, male workers in America still make about 22% more money than their female counterparts. It seems that the road to full gender equality in America is a long one.
