Fall Term

For me, this fall term was great term. I've certainly improved my English, and thought toward "race."
In the first half of this term, we learned about culture. It included the problem of perception. It was the problem of perception that was most interesting in the first half of this term. Formerly, I was interested in the problems of perception of human beings. I've read some books about those problems.
However, I had ever thought those problems are related to the problems of culture. Before the classes, I had recognized perception of human beings just as philosophical problems. So, I was very surprised when I got to know the practical problems related to perception. Thanks to the classes, I came to be interested in the problems of perception more and I am going to read books about that in the fall vacation.
In the second half of this term, we learned many thoughts related to race. We have few chance to think deeply about race in our daily life. However, it is obvious that the problems related to race is important because that kind of problems cause many accidents in this modern world. Japan is not exception. Moreover, we are learning at ICU where a lot of people from different countries study together.
Honestly speaking, I couldn't find answer to the question: What is the "race" ?
However, I got many clues for seeking the answer to the question. Using this clue, I want to keep thinking about the question.
In addition to the reading of ELP reader, we have written one essay, and the topic was almost up to us, so we could choose the topics freely. I think that is why I could write my essay more smoothly than the spring one.
I chose "Japanese Government's Information Disclosure in Times of Disaster."
I think it was good timing for me to choose that topic because I was also investigating similar topic in my circle. That combination was another reason why I could write my essay more smoothly than spring.
Although I made a lot of mistakes in my essay, I could improve my skill of writing essay thanks to Mark. Your advices were always useful for me to compose my essay.
I want to improve that skill more and more through the rest of ELP.

Thank you Mark and my dear section BD mates :)
