Why fast food is so popular in the United States

When I was in Japan, I hardly ate fast food. One of reasons is that I don't like fast food very much but more than anything else, the main reason is that there aren't so many fast food restaurants around my home. But in United States, there are too many fast food restaurants. It was one of what surprised me when I came here first. We can find them in airports, schools and even hospitals, like everywhere we go to.
In general, it's said that fast food is not healthy. Yes, of cause it is true. Though most of people know this is true, they love eating fast food. I think the reason is that they are cheap and, I guess, they think that they are delicious. And it's also very easy to get them. Even when they are very busy, they don't need to wait to get them for a long time. Moreover, If they use drive-through, they don't even need to get out of the car.

I, personally, can't believe we eat fast food for dinner. I've heard that they also eat fast food like pizza and hamburger for school lunch in the United States. My sister has eaten school lunch in the United State. She ordered hamburger at that time. Then She told me that there was only a hamburg steak inside. Just hamburg! There was no vegetable like lettuce. I think it's too crazy. We need to have a balanced diet. Especially we have to have vegitables. I couldn't stand that if my every dinner and school lunch were fast food. For people in the United State, however, it's usual, because that is what they have done since they were children and everyone is doing that. And what suprised me most is that there are very long lines for buying fast food even after midnight. I can't understand why they have to eat fast food that late.
The food is very important for us and it's also very important to eat good balanced food for being healthy. Especially for children, keeping eating unhealthy food has a lot of influences for their health. I'm very sure that if children keep eating fast food, they are going to be sick in the future. Fast food is too popular in the United State now. This is very serious problem, I think. We have to think seriously about this problem and solve that.

Analysis of a movie I have seen resently

I saw the movie called of "Tokyo tower". It's a Japanese movie. It was released on January 15th, 2005 in Japan. It's very romantic love story. This movie was made with a novel which has the same name, "Tokyo tower" as a base. The novel was written by a female writer called of Kaori Ekuni. Some of her novel is also used as a base for some movies.

The basic story of this movie is love story for a couple which has an age difference of 20 years between them. Their name are Shiori and Toru. She is 41 years old and he is 21 years old. Indeed, she is married and he is her friend's son.

What I felt at first after seeing this movie is that everything is very beautiful. The picture, music and words... everything is beautiful. Especially, the words amazed me. It is not too much to say that every words main couple said is beautiful. The movie's catch phrase is "The love is not one which does, but one which falls in". It's beautiful, isn't it? They used Norah Jones' music for this movie. That is beautiful. Of cause, the main actress is also beautiful! But I'm just wondering whether it's all right that the movie about adultery is very beautiful.

Actually, there are arguments both for and against this movie. However beautiful this movie may be, this is about adultery. Indeed they have a big age difference between them. Shiori's husband said to Toru,"when you become 40 years old, Shiori is going to be 60 years old. When you are 50 years old, she is going to be 70 years old. But even so, you can still love her!?" It's hard words for Toru, but it's true.

In the end, she decided to get divorced from her husband and live with him, Toru. I don't know whether they can become happy or not. At the last scene, she said to him,"Even if your mind change tomorrow, I love you..." It might be an unrealistic end, but I think it's all right because this is a movie. Movies are usually unrealistic.

What I felt from this movie is it's great to love someone deeply like this. I also think that is very painful..., but I myself want to love someone deeply like this. It's very difficult to find that person, someone special. My friends sometimes say, "You dream too much. It happens in only dramas and movies." But I believe I will meet that person some day.

Life of an average citizen in my contry

I was born in Japan. The economy has grown there. According to that, the life of people is getting rich. I was born and bred in the place called Okayama prefecture. As a consequence, I don't know the life of people who live in a city such as Tokyo.
In Japan, most of adults have their own work. I sometimes hear that Japanese work too much. I think it's true. Some of workers work overtime, at home after coming home and even on weekend. It doesn't mean they like working at all. They just have to do. Some people work for their family and others work for themselves. As a result, some of them are suffered from stress. In reality, people who die because of stress are increasing.
And most of children can go to school and study. Going to junior high school at least is compulsory education. It is said that there has been a decline in the levels of academic attainment in Japan. But I think they are studying a lot.173 Some of them go to cram and others study under a tutor. It also doesn't mean they like studying. They are suffered from stress in the same way as adults. A few years ago, our government adopted a new policy called "education free of pressure". They changed some parts in textbooks and decreased school hours. But in my opinion, it's totally meaningless. They cut important things we have to learn in textbooks. And we've had to take extra lectures on weekend because they decreased school hours. We had to study to pass a exam for entering to university anyway. Nothing changed, after all.
Also it's said most of children aren't interested in politics. It's true but it's not only for children. It's true that the voting rate for electing is decreasing. I often hear that it's said "Nothing change, whoever may be chosen". It might be true. But we shouldn't think the only politicians built up our country. Actually I, however, can understand why they say so. A lot of politicians did something dishonest and were arrested. That makes us feel difficult to trust them.
Japan is one of the developed countries now. Our lives has changed a lot in recent years. We got riches and can live in comfort. I feel that the more convenient their lives become, the more they want convenience. We can live with important people for us such as family and do whatever we want to do. We shouldn't forget these are great things.
