Today we discussed the language of clothes. After listening to the lecture and the meaning of colors in clothing, answer the following questions:
1. Do you judge people according to what they wear? Why?
Yes, I do. I think it is important TPO. T is time, P is place and O is occasion. we observe other people on formal occasions. If they don't wear suitable dress, they are considered have not common sense people.
And, if you have good fasion sense, you are considered as the good sense owner.
2 Do you think Japanese society puts an importance on clothing when judging other people from another country?
No, I don't. But I surprised that they weared T-shirt in spite of 15degrees when I stayed England. And my hostmother said somepeople weared a tank top when it was even winter. If they wear it in japan, they may be called strange person.
3. What colors are you wearing now?
I am wearing a brown dress and black tights. I overslept in this morning. So, I chose these clothes at random. Today's fasion is so-so. I want to be a sharp dresser.
Do they reflect your mood?Next week we will discuss friends, please prepare by answering the following questions:
1. What are some subjects that you will never discuss with a friend?
I always talk about a lot of subject. Recentry, we tall about how to Christmas. Some people say they spend the day with her boy friend. So, I feel envious. We usually talk about ourself. So, we are chummy.
2. Do you have different friends for different parts of your life? If so, how are they different to you? Do you talk about different things? Go to different places? Give me some examples.
Yes, I have. one of my friends work part-time job. I also do. But, she give poket money from her parents. I dan't agree with her system. I asked her why do you give poket money in spite of that you work part-time job. She answeared "My mother saied you have to study at univercity, so you don't have to try to work part-time job. I agree with her mother. But, I think we have to learn how to use money within the limits of our budgets.

I agree with web site. we can call "Honnne to Tatemae". For example, I get a souvenir from neighborhood. But I don't like sweets. American or English people may say that they don't like sweet. But, Japanese don't say that. Because, Japanese is a race that they can't say honesty.
