I
think one of important things to improve writing is to write a lot. Thus, I
think it is better for us to have co-learning online.
First,
I will give you a question. “If you start your own businesses, What kind of business do you want to
start and why?” もし、商売を始めるなら、どんな商売をしたいですか。また、なぜですか。” I referred to a question “Have you ever thought about starting your
own business? Please explain your answer” from an
article “Hello Kitty's 92-Year-Old Founder Gives
Company to Grandson” in DMM Eikaiwa. I have partially
changed this question for our writing practice.
Try
to come up with appropriate logical structure (I think this part is the most important)
and write your answer. If you like, share your writing on the comment section
in Reddit, Facebook or YouTube. I will correct it in natural Japanese.
②Instruction of Practice: What will we do?
1, Try to think of appropriate structure of writing
to answer the given question.
2, Write your answer with appropriate expressions.
3, If you like, share your writing on the comment
section in Reddit, Facebook or YouTube.
If
you have difficulty to use Kanji, only using Hiragana and Katakana is also OK.
This is just practice so don’t hesitate and just try. If you also have
difficulty to read Kanji, use this web site put Kanji and push “ひらがな”.
③Question
“If
you start your own businesses, What kind of business do you want to start and
why?” もし、商売を始めるなら、どんな商売をしたいですか。また、なぜですか。
④Example Answer：
自分が商売を始めるなら、日本語を教えるオンライン学校を経営したいです。
（始めるShort Formなら means “if”.）
理由としては、色々な国の人とコミュニケーションをとる事に興味があり、日本語を教えるのが好きだからです。
（ーするSF 事に興味があるmeans interested in doing smt.）
自分自身も、今まで、色々な英語の学校に通って、たくさんの人と仲良くなったり、良い先生に出会えたりしたので、みんなで勉強できる場所を作ることは、非常に有意義だと思います。
（出会えたTa formり しましたLong Form）
（出会えたTa formり したSF pastので、）
ただ、現在は、世界的にコロナウィルスが蔓延しているので、オンラインでの学校を経営した方が無難だろうと思います。
（-したSF past 方が無難だろう it
could be better to do）

For Intermediate Level Learner
If
you want to write something about another topic, try to do following practice.
(1) I introduce an article “Hello Kitty's
92-Year-Old Founder Gives Company to Grandson” from DMM Eikaiwa. DMM Eikaiwa is a web site for Japanese
people learning English. I try to apply this web site to Japanese writing
activity.
To
understand topic, read the introduced article in DMM Eikaiwa. News Article
sometimes has Japanese Translation but sometimes does not have Japanese
Translation. This is not reading practice so if you cannot understand Japanese
translation, it is OK to just read English sentences to understand the topic.

(2)
Under the news article in DMM Eikaiwa, you can find out “Questions”, “Discussion”
and “Further Discussion”. We do not use “Questions”. This is because “Questions”
is made up of easy questions and it seems to be designed for reading activity. Thus,
please choose one question from “Discussion” or “Further Discussion” for your
writing.
(3)
Try to write your answer sentences and if you like, share on the comment in
Reddit. Facebook or Reddit. To make sure which question you chose, it is better
to write the question that you referred to in “Discussion” or “Further
Discussion”
⑤Question and Comment
If
you have some questions about topic or some Japanese expressions to write question
and answer, ask me in the comment section on Reddit, Facebook or YouTube. If
you ask me something in English, I will respond in English. If Japanese, I will
respond in Japanese. That might be good practice in writing. Although I cannot
respond to all (Especially, off topic) because I have limitation of time, I try
to comment.
⑥Practice
Now, your turn. Try to write answers
and share your writings in the comment section on Reddit, Facebook or YouTube.
