       Recently, prices are getting high, and we are suffered from rise in prices. I think pricese keep going up. We need more money in the future, therefore we should save money, but how? There are several ways to save money. What we can is, reducing expences for electricity, heating, and water, changing eating habits, and being responsible with our money.

        First, you can reduce expences for electricity, heating, and water. This is the easy way to economise. You should turn off the light, and unplug outlets when you don’t use it. Don’t open the fridge so long. You can economise on electric power in those ways. You should take a shower shorter, and stop the shower when you wash your body for the water expenses. This is also for the heating expenses. These are the main ways to reduce the expenses, but there is a lot of ways to reduce electricity, heating, and water expenses, so you should try to find what you can. Reducing those expenses can save only a little money, but keep doing is important. One year later, you can save a lot of money by doing this.

　　　Other way to save money is changing eating habits. Don’t go to eat often. I know it’s troublesome to make meals, but you can save money. Furthermore, eating in has many advantages such as good for your health. I recommend you to eat rice. Rice is filling, and not so expensive. Eat rice and something. Next, you need to find nice supermarket. Compare some supermarkets and find the cheapest supermarket. You also need to know when is a discount day. You can get food cheaply. Moreover, if you eat in, you can save gas because you don’t need to drive. You can save a lot of money in those ways.

      Last thing is being responsible with your money. This is the most important. You’d better decide how much you use money per one day. You should buy a money box with lock and save 100yen or more everyday. You can save 36500yen one year later. Save coins as much as you can everyday. Don’t buy what you don’t need. You should think that you really need it or not before you buy something. For example, I often buy too much food, and it goes bad. Everytime, I thought I shouldn’t have bought so much. Don’t be rude with your money.

      Saving money is hard. We like  shopping, want to go to eat, want to do something, but not to run out of money, you have to manage the budget. Only one day makes nothing. Constant efforts make a large sum of money. Now, prices of gas, cigarette, wheat, and so on getting high. I suggest you to save money for the future.

　　　Smoking in public is getting harder. Now, smoking in public is stricter than before. Public perception of tabacco and smoking has changed over the past 10 years from being socially expectable to being problematic in several ways including: ① little regulation ② improved laws ③ being completely outlawed. Let’s think from 10 years ago to now.

       10 years ago, there was a little regulation of tabacco. For example, people could smoke in restaurants, on streets, everywhere. Moreover, tabacco tax was cheap. The price of a pack of cigarette was about half of the present tabacco. It was easy to smoke in public, and to get cigarette. At that time, there was like a heaven for smokers.

       5 years ago, improved laws became having some limitations on smoking. For instance, in Nagoya, people could not smoke on some streets anymore. The price was also changed. It became higher and higher. Some smokers quitted smoking because of the cost. 10 years ago, non-smokers felt small, but this time, the stuation started to change.

       Currently, smoking became almost completely outlawed. Some restaurants don’t have smoking areas, and people can’t smoke on streets in urban areas. Some companies made a rule that workers can’t smoke when they are in conpanies even though they were in smoking areas, while they are taking a break. Furthermore, taspo has been introduced recently. It is like an ID to buy cigarette from vending machine. Because of those things, it is difficult to smoke in public and to buy cigarette.

       Smokers are suffering from laws and the cost today. Laws are stricter, and the cost is more expensive than befoer. The government intends to get rid of smokers. In the future, laws will definitely become more improved, and the cost will be over 600yen. How can smokers smoke and take a break in the public in this severe stuation?

There is a lot of important things to get good grades like paticipation , homework, but attendance is the most important thing to get good grades. First of all, about participation, the best way to understand the class is participate in your class. Sleeping in the class is like an absence. If you don’t listen to your professor,  you can’t understand the lesson. You would fall behind. You also would not to able to do well on your test, because you don’t understand the lesson. Therefore, you need to participate in your class. Next, you should do your homework. Doing your homework is doing review of the last lesson, or doing preparation for the next lesson. It’s important to understand the lesson. Finally, about an attendance. It’s the most important. An absence is out of question to get good grades. If you are absent your class, you can’t participate in it, or you can’t do your homework. You can’t even learn new things that you were suppose to learn in the class, so only one absence can be dangerous. You don’t know the last lesson, and next lesson is of course an applied question so you  might not understand the next lesson. I’v experienced this and even now. You may think only one absence is ok,but it kills you. If you want to get good grades, don’t absent your class.

 My friends in my hometown came to see me.  I didn’t know they came to Osaka untill the morning that they came. They called me and said ” We are in Osaka now, and will visit you. “.  They don’t know the way of Osaka, so I went to meet them. After meeting them, they came to my house. They wanted to do something specal, but we had no idea what to do, so we went to Round1 as usual. Next day, we went to Tennnouji, and ate Kushikatu. After I saw them off, I took a nap. I hadn’t been in a bed, so I was very sleepy. I was woken up by my frinds in Osaka. I planned to go somewhere with them by motorcycle.  We went to Isejinngu. It’s a temple in Mie. We left Osaka at 4:00a.m. , and we arrived Isajinngu. We ate a lot of delicious foods, and slept by a river. My golden week was fun. I had a good time.
