IF YOU WERE WORKING FOR THE UN, WHICH JOB WOULD LIKE TO DO USING YOUR ENGLISH ABILITIES? WHY?
I would like to work as a public relations officer if I were working for the UN.
The UN hosts periodic events for everyone, regardless of age, sex or nationality. I want to create advertisements which could attract a lot of interest, in Japanese, English and French. Comming up with the design and style be liked by all sounds really fun, cause I am interested in the advertisement so much.

HOMEWORK - Working with Different Cultures
WHAT KIND OF WORK PLACE DO YOU THINK U WILL WORK BEST?
England is the best plase to work for me.
Cause i want to drink my love British ale with my friends or co-workers at a pub after 5. It is surely difficult to do that in Japan that is well-known as working overtime. I really need fun time or to rest everyday. And I think all of Japanese should have more rest, othe countries consistentry point out most Japanese work too much as well.

MENTALITY it is necessary for my partner, but i cannot explain well why it is.
MONEY it does not mean i am not interested in marrying a rich guy. i just want to say that we cannot live without money if here is a big love..

HOMEWORK - Feelings
1.ARE FEELINGS, EMOTIONS AND FACIAL EXPRSSIONS UNIVERSAL ACROSS BORDERS, HAPPY, SAD, ETC..?
These have no borders wheather or not our nationality, native language, rerigion..etc are different, everyone have feelings and emotions. But like when people feel sadness or happiness is not same each people. Thus it is not easy that we tell our own real feelings others and that we understand others' own feelings.
2.TRY TO NAME AS MANY FEELINGS AS POSSIBLE IN JAPANESE. THEN, WRITE THE ENGLISH TRANSLATION.
さみしい ― lonely うれしい ― happy
つかれた ― tired つらい ― bitter
落ち着く ― calm 心地良い ― comfortable
眠たい ― sleepy 腹ペコ ― hungly
不安 ― timid くやしい ― frustrated
3.ARE THERE ANY FEELINGS IN JAPANESE THAT CANNOT BE TRANSLATED INTO ENGLISH?
たいぎい (Hiroshima Dialect)
I think that it cannot be taranslated into English and standard Japanese as well.
