Other Languages Worth Learning


When I saw this news, I think it is a useful news for employees because it warn an employees to learn and improve their languages skill.


Reference to the July 16 article "Rakuten's all-English edict a bold move, but risky too" I think many people agree with him because learning English of employees is significant for them to get a better job. First, I agree with him about give staff a time to practice English and staff that can not speak it. In the present, not only English that important, but other languages are important too such as Chinese, Japanese or French.



In my opinion, every companies arond the world should give time to employees to develop thier languages skill. It is a good one step for the future

power boat has been sunk by Japanese whalers


I choose this news because I want to show that they should find a real reason that why the protest boat launch a projectiles to the Japanese whalers ship. Otherwise, it can make a problem in the future.


A environment group said that their high-tech protest power boat has been sunk by Japanese whalers. The Sea Shepherd Conservation Society claims Ady Gil Vessel was attacked near the whaling fleet in the Southern ocean. The boat was cut in half, but six crews were rescued. The whalers said that the protest boat had been launching projectiles to their ship, and they tried to tangle propellers on the Japanese ship. Commercial whaling was banned under a treaty in 1986, but the Japanese continue hunt whales just only in the area for research.


In my opinion, it will makes a problem for sure if they cannot find the real reason for this situation, and I think that they will stop a whale hunting because it makes many problem too.

Also my friends told me that Japan wanted to popesses some area of South Korea. And now Japan said sorry about all the bad things that they did.

Detective Conan, a cartoon comes from Japan

Detective Conan is a cartoon that comes from Japan. Detective Conan is one of my favorite cartoons that I have seen. Conan is a kid who was an adult. He was forced to eat a medicine. After that, he became a kid again. But he still has his brilliant brain. So he can solve many difficult cases. I like him because he always uses high technology and he is very intelligence.



This cartoon always shows the possible situation that can happen in our real life.
That's why I'm very like this cartoon. There are many high technologies that he uses such as glasses, shoes, brooch, skateboard, bow tie and belt. But his high technologies are impossible to have in the real world. And that makes children like this cartoon.



I used to watch Conan cartoon all 3 days. Almost clip videos about Conan on http://www.youtube.com/, I have already seen them. I think Conan is very famous, because I saw Conan translate from japanease to many languages. Not only Thai children like Conan cartoon, but my foreigner friends also know and like Conan too.
