I think living in Tokyo is good. In Tokyo, the traffic is convenient. As I see it, many trains are serviced. And, many shops are opened, so we can go shopping anytime. Unexpectedly, Tokyo has many parks. The nature in parks bring a person relaxation. I think that is good Side. In the holidays, we can go many places. So we can spend a good time.

In my opinion, smart phones is a very familiar tool. Smart phones possession rate of university students is over 90 percent. Because we can use the Internet in the same way as a computer, contact with friends also became easier. On the other hand, we must take care to waste of time and communication. Function of smart phone progress has been made increasingly. I think it is devoted the time spent in the game to other things. And conversation on the SNS is there is a possibility of lean relationship for invisible face. We should use thought the characteristics of the smart phones.

In my opinion, smart phones are very dangerous plates, because they are too useful. If we use smart phone, we can do all thing more easily than using galapagos cellphone. For example, looking up a place on a map, reading news what attract attention, accessing to SNS, playing amusing game, and so on. We endlessly waste time, because of having smart phones. Did you experience that you playing with it, the hours went quickly? To tell the truth,I have been using it in everything since I bought it. We must be careful. If not, we may lose the chance to study various thing.

in my opinion, the smartphone is very convenient. It is checked that I want to check it immediately. We install favorite applications and listen to music, and how to use varies. In addition, we get the photograph, too. However, a lot of problems about the smartphone are pointed out recently. For example, the use of the smartphone in the neighborhood of priority seat is outstanding. In addition, many people play with a smartphone while walking and am in an accident. It is right how to use smartphone to use the convenient function while being based on such problems.

In my opinion, it is very important to learn a language.I think that It is a chance to pay more attention to the world to learn a language.One's world spreads out by paying more attention to the world.I think that it becomes the strength very much that one's world spreads out in becoming an adult.For example, you can know the world sports through a language as well as the sports of one's country if you like sports.I learned English and was interested in the world.Therefore I learn more languages and want to go to the foreign country.I think that it is pleasant to learn a language some other time.
