Just a few more weeks ...

Greetings everyone! We have just a few weeks left in the school year, so please be sure to give me a Restaurant Review (Essay #7) as soon as possible, and remember, you have to revise it (2nd copy) and send it to me by email so I can post it. A photo should be attached to your mail as a jpg file.

Today we will work on quotations and indirect quotes. You should also check out the new restaurant reviews now posted at Tsurumi Eats!

If you've finished Essay #8, you may submit it now or next week. Sooner is better! Please be sure to follow punctuation rules for quotations.

Below are the opinions of some people in Japan about the U.S. military and how strictly they should be punished for the crimes some of them have committed in recent weeks. Which opinion do you agree with? Or do you have a different opinion? Choose an opinion from those written in the article and explain why you agree, or write your different opinion.

  2. For what purpose do Americans live in Okinawa?
    I think that there will be no qualification for their living in Japan if they cause a raping incident.

  3. Moe Uyehara.
    It's unavoidable that a crime happens, if it is a human.
    but you should judge them in Japan.
    Or you should severe punishmentize the crime of the U.S. Forces.
    In U.S.Forces.

  4. There are many opinions about Okinawa. But I think it is easy. Japanese government should show a strong stance to U.S.A.

  10. The role of military is to defend the people in the country. It is for reason that criminals of military are ought to be punished more strictly than ordinary criminals. Also they are Americans, but they are working in Japan, so they are punished by Japnese military law. In conclusion, I think they sould be punished as equal as Japanese military who commited crime.

  15. I agree Marina Higa's opinion because I think it, too. I think they don't follow the curfew. Some Americans are good persons, but they are a little ferocity. We must think about each other.

  18. The current law of Japan cannot judge the race except the Japanese. It will be necessary to revise the law. So that the law of Japan fits all races in Japan.
