Business English class (9)
It was the 9th of Business English class on Friday.
We practiced sale talks to sell our company's product.
In a chat, The teacher told us about Franklin planner.
He had used one for over 10 years.
Franklin Covey provides not only stationary goods but also computer software and web services. These products and services seemed to relate to Stephen R. Covey's "The 7 habits of highly effective people."

Word counter on Opera browser
To improve reading comprehension in English, Reading paragraphs quickly is important.
According to Wikipedia, the average American adult reads prose text at 250 to 300 words per minute.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Words_per_minute#Reading_and_comprehension
When I read articles in English on web site, I want word counter to know the number of words in the articles.
It will be better if it works on my favorite Opera browser.
I tried to find a way to count words on the browser.
Word counter
http://extendopera.org/userjs/content/word-counter
I installed it and It works fine but it is just for counting words in text area.
I want to count words that are not only in text areas but also in plain text.

1. Press Ctrl-F12 to show Preference dialog and click "Search" tab.
2. Click "Add" and the dialog to register a search engine.

6. Click "Ok"
If you want to count the number of word, select words with the mouse pointer, move the pointer on the selection and click the right button of the mouse. Then choose "Word counter." in the "Search With" item. The number of words and characters are displayed at the below of the browser.

Kurukuma
I bought a bunch of Kurukuma flower on 22th September. I didn't know what kind of flower those were before my wife taught me.
As my wife said, Kurukuma is one of favorable flower for decoration of Buddhist altars(or Butudan in Japanese) in Equinoctial week (or Higan in Japanese.) it is a kind of Ginger.
I feel as if I am learning about flowers from my ignorance about flowers.

Map shows future
I was stuck in a traffic jam near the sport park. it might be caused by a junior school's sport meeting.
Student's parents bring their children to the park and the road around the park was jammed.
Since the meeting might be planed since months ago, If information about the event were published on the net, Could I have a chance to expect a jam caused by it?
I mean, if I query time and place to search engines with map, Could they give maps that show locations of the events with accurate time?
Then I tried to search my living city name and the time "October 2010" in Japanese, which was "2010年10月", using google maps.
It showed the list of events and the map having markers pointing the place of the events. These locations had good accurate but some these date time was not expected.
For example, April 2010 ("2010年4月"), July 10th 2010("2010年7月10日") and so on.
And I also tried to search using Bing but the result is not what I expect.
As concerned about Google Maps, There are rooms to improve analyzing date information more accurately.
If search engines with map could understand not only where the events occur but also when they occur, we might get more useful information for our lives.

Steve Jobs's presentation
One of my colleagues introduced us a book about presentation techniques of Steve Jobs.
I watched some his presentations because I had never seen it.
His speech is so clear and slow that audiences who are not native English speaker can catch what he says. He looks he doesn't look any memos.

To learn about different culture, we can
o read books,
o ask people who've done business before
o watch movies or TV, TV is prefer to movie because TV-CM gives us a lot of cultual information.
To overcome barriers to written communication, we should
o use precious words what I mean
o use specific term
o avoid slang, idiom, jargon
o keep sentences shorter and simpler
o break sentences into paragraphs
o use transitional words
The teacher gave us questions over talking his story.
I did group work with the staff of class.

Round trip of Exhibition
I went to 3 exhibitions with my wife.
One of them was of works by Osamu Tezuka, who was one of the famous manga artists and also animator.
Then, we went to an exhibition of Okinawan manga artist's works.
At last we went to an exhibition of Egyptian Mummies.
Three of them had a common that they were related to death and alive.
Dr. Tezuka left a lot of works like "Black Jack" and "Hinotori", whose theme was life.
Many Okinawan manga artists took tragedies of the World War 2 as theme of their work the way Dr. Tezuka did.
And mummies are symbol of eternal life.
It was just the memorial day of end of the WW2 at that time.
These exhibitions allowed me to think of worth of life.
Japanese translation is following.
妻(つま) と 3つ の 展示会(てんじかい) に 行きました。
1つ は 手塚(てづか)治虫(おさむ) の 作品展(さくひんてん)でした。彼(かれ) は 有名(ゆうめい)な 漫画家(まんがか) であり、アニメーター でも ありました。
その後(あと)、沖縄(おきなわ)の 漫画家の 作品展に行(ゆ)きました。
最後(さいご)に エジプト の ミイラ展 に 行きました。
この 3つ は、死(し) と 生(せい) に 関連(かんれん) するという 共通点(きょうつうてん) をもっています。
手塚治虫は、「ブラックジャック」や「火(ひ)の鳥(とり)」のような 命(いのち) をテーマにした 作品 を 残(のこ)しました。
多(おお)く の 沖縄の 漫画家は、手塚治虫 と 同様(どうよう)に、第二次世界大戦(だいにじせかいたいせん) の 惨劇(さんげき) を テーマにしました。
そして、ミイラ は 永遠(えいえん) の 命 の シンボル です。

In the barbar
When I went to the barbar I often go,
there was a small boy with his young parents next to me.
He started to cry loudly and I felt as if he never stop crying.
I was a bit irritated but I couldn't do nothing but putting up with it.
Young parents may want to have their child's hair cut hoping his hair style becomes cool.
I guess I had have my hair cut by my mother when I was his age.

Squalls
Squalls repeatedly occured.
It seemed to be caused by a tropical low pressure.
I was going to play tennis but I couldn't do because the tennis courts were dipped with water of squalls.
Japanese translation is following.
スコール が 繰(く)り返(かえ)し 起(お)こりました。
熱帯(ねったい)低気圧(ていきあつ) が原因(げんいん) の ようです。
私(わたし) は テニス を する つもりでした が、テニスコート が スコール の 雨(あめ) に 浸(つ)かって できませんでした。

Banana and honey
Three bananas fell from the banana stand.
One of bananas was peeled a lot and wouldn't keep itself until tomorrow.
Then I tried to put honey on the banana and have it.
It was sweeter than plain banana.
Japanese is following.
3ぼん の バナナ が バナナスタンドから おちました。
いっぽん の バナナ が おおきく むけたので、 あしたまで もたなそうです。
バナナ に はちみつ を つけて たべて みました。
ふつう の ばなな より あまかったです。

Step counter
I don't walk for long distance on week day.
I wish I could do walking after work.
I bought a step counter which function is only counting steps.
I put it on my trousers. It shows about 150 now, at 1 pm.
