This week I learned a Japanese song which is really suitable for children, and I think it is cute. Actually. I would like to learn language through listening songs because it is a better way to learn for me. When I'm listening to the song, I will look at the lyrics and think about the meaning of song. And then I can learn new grammar and words while I'm thinking about the meaning.

I learned lots of new grammar in this week which I think it contains a couple of important grammar points. Such as ～に違いない means certainly or be sure to. It can be used when I want to express my opinions that I intend to inform other people with a sure tone. Therefore, I can stress my point to others in some situation such as argument. Through the study this week, especially after finishing the grammar sheet, I felt I've already learned a large amount of grammar this semester. However, I feel like that I didn't use all of them frequently. So I hope I can use them as much as possible, no matter writing or speaking.

This week, I think coming up our own conversation is helpful to understand and use grammar. I can use vocabulary and grammar that I learned before, as well as I can make up my own story with my casual speaking style. However, I think I still have to make sure I use the correct speech level while talking to different people.

This week I learned the meaning of sports in Japan. The most important thing about the sports is not just to win the game, but also to develop the spirits and behaviors in the life. It's similar to China because Chinese sports are also focus on the substances of sports. Moreover, after I did the robot project, I think it is a good way to be creative and to improve critical thinking. At the same time, I can learn Japanese by creating my own story or sentences with using grammar and vocabulary that I learned before.
アメリカで優先席は必要があると思います。優先席は年上人や妊娠している女や身体障害者などのために、バスとか電車が便利な席であるということです。例えば、赤ちゃんを持っている人がバスに乗ってきたら、すぐに立って席を譲はずです。ここいう人はバスや電車に乗った後に、すぐ座られるように、普通に優先席はドアのそばにあります。だから、アメリカのバスで優先席があるなら、生活は便利になると思います。

The interesting thing to do this week was to make a robot and applied the creative functions to it. Moreover, I learned new kanji and grammar which is sometimes confused me. For example, both うちに and 間に　mean something happens while something happened. However, the meaning is slightly different. うちに　can be negative while　間に can't be.

日本では、若い人だけじゃなくでスポーツが好きが、子供からお年寄りまでスポーツがすきです。それに、日本人はスポーツを見るということは好きです。日本では試合で勝つことが大切だけど、人間として成長することに関係もあるが、同じ大切だと考えられています。日本のスポーツは礼儀と言うことも大切です。柔道とか剣道など、まず「礼に始まり礼に終わる」と言うことは大切です。しかし、アメリカで試合の時、そういうことをしないが、試合の前に相手に挨拶します。
