I Would Like Some Advice - Riri Matsushima

    Hi Miki,

    I know exactly how you feel because I'm in a similar situation.

    I'm studying English in New Zealand as an international student and there are a lot of students who come from Japan like me. One idea is talking to other students using English, not your own language. I live in a host family's house and an other student lives in a same house as well. We set a simple rule, "Try to talk to each other in English." It's easier than talking to a stranger for a shy person like us. Sometimes we can think about better phrases, words or grammar together. You might reach grammar to other students, which will be good practice too.

   Hope that helps. Good luck!

Both of the students and the sellers seemed to enjoy the market.  I felt this market was one of the interesting cultures for the students and the local people in New Zealand.

The surveillance technology will help us to prevent or solve crime. Also, the picture quality of security cameras is really good these days, so the police can identify criminals more easily and it will help move investigation forward smoothly. Also, not only for prevention or investigation of crime, but for children's safety, the surveillance technology is useful. It means that if a child gets lost, parents or other adults can search for him or her by using the surveillance technology. That technology must help improve safety for children.   However, the surveillance technology can sometimes invade our privacy if it is used wrongly. The abuse of the surveillance technology is dangerous for us, because the abuse of that technology measns that someone can know what we do or recognize our personal information without noticing us. So, we must understand
