Business English class (10)

I learned the importance of regime from the teacher in the last class of Business English class. He said most of us tend to forget what we archived in our life, so it is good idea to write them on your regime and use it when you show what you have done ever.

It was hard to make time to attend the class but I can have good experiences to think about business in different cultures between Japan and other countries.

From news paper:reconstruction bond maturity

 http://www.japantimes.co.jp/text/nn20111020x1.html

 DPJ bends on reconstruction bond maturity
 New Komeito seems OK with tobacco tax hike; LDP opposes

 We would put burden to pay money for the bond on next generation.

Shredder

送信者 around me

I broke a shredder when putting some papars into it. I opened it and found that 2 cogwheels of a gear came off. Things will be broken if I don't deal with them with care.

Typhoon Roke

Many events had to be postponed or canceled because of this typhoon. In my case, The tennis competition was postponed and I stayed at home all day.

This typhoon doesn't look like usual ones, which bring heavy storm and rain. I could even see blue sky. I don't know why we give up many events because of this.

I hope it will be better weather next consecutive holiday.
