Shirasawa ARW

We discussed 3 topics in 23,April.

Firstly, the topic we talked about is what is good discussion and what is bad discussion.
We should do a lot of things in good discussion, for example to choose a leader who manages discussion (like asking others and summarizing idea of the group, which help us understand well) and a recorder and to express other information or reasons follow our opinion when we tell others our opinion.

Secondly, we talked about that Japan should start teaching English from the beginning of elementary school every day.
There are many disagreement of this opinion because it is important to master mother tongue before we study other languages and there are no good teacher who can teach English well in elementary schools. But I agree with this opinion because linguists said that earlier we study foreign languages, better we study them and we should be accustomed to speak, write, listen to foreign languages before we start to study them hard in junior high school.

Finally, we discussed the age of adult should be 18 in Japan.
I remember there is no good reason to change or keep the age of adult in Japan. Deciding the age of adult is difficult because there is no standard to distinguish between children and adults.
