alcohol is widespread. However, alcohol has a great variety
of benefits. I drink one glass of wine at dinner every
evening. It helps me tremendously in many ways. For
example, a good wine is a good appetizer . I always enjoly
the meal with it. Another positive aspect of alcohol is its
tranquilizing effect. Thanks to the dinner wine, I have a
good sleep every night.

Japan's political stance is often criticized as "indecisive."
That may be true. Things look quite unclear in Japanese
politics. However, I disagree. Pokitical leaders deal with
delicate issues day and night. Therefore, in many cases.
they just can't be very clear. That's part of their job. In
other words, they must make unclear statements due to the
nature of the job. In my opinion, We are a little too critical
about politics and politicians. What do you think? Do you
agree with me?

One of my best friends was extremely diligent. He studied

him crazy. For some reason, he was very nice to me. He
helped me with my homework all the time. His intelligence
was well beyond my own. One day , he suddenly transferrd

back to school after a couple of days because we, her
students, were on the last stage of preparation for our
