I'm working as a local staff at the meeting.
The meeting is gone on English only.
Though I'm not good at speaking English, I have to do that to clear my mission.

I find that it is important to express my wish directly when I speak English.
Most Japanese don't like to do that.

This experience make my English more better.
It is a tough job, but I'm enjoying.
I hope to work with a foreign partner in the future.

"There are not any flowers in the park."
"There are no flowers in the park."

Are there any differences between theirs?

Few months ago, I and my partner found the DVDs at a rental DVD store.
Its TV commercial broadcasted in Japan at that time, and we knew at Japanese TV show that Japanese man Masi Oka was casted in it.
"Yatta~!" , he shouted in the commercial.

We had watched 4 stories per week.
Now we have been watching season 2.

One of the attractive points about it I thought is that there are no main characters.
Everyone in the drama has each power, everyone needs the others power to save the earth.

I like "Hiro" and "Matt".
Matt looks like my ex-co-worker! (Of course my ex-co-worker is Japanese.)

We're looking forward to watching season 3.
They are in a rental DVD store now!
But their rental fee is a little expensive because they are just released.

We're thinking how does this story ends!
