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

PART E_2

In Japan, if you do something wrong, your parents 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.

Hi Eric,

Sorry that I haven’t replied to you sooner. I just got assigned to a big project this week. I worked three hours of overtime yesterday and still had to get up at six this morning. You’d think that after ten years of working in Tokyo, I’d be used to this lifestyle, right? But guess what, I’m not! But I have something to look forward to now. There’s this cute girl who just started working with us, but I’ll tell you more about her some other time. Anyway, enough about me.

How are you doing? You know, I think I’ll have a little more time next week. So hopefully I’ll be able to meet you for a coffee or something. When will you be available next week? Please let me know.

Cheers,

Tom
