①Aim of Practice
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 “Would you like to build a home someday? If so,
where and what kind of house do you want to build? あなたは自分の家を建てたいですか。もしそうなら、どこに、どのような家を建てたいですか。”. I referred to a question “Would you like to build a home someday?
Why? Why not?” from an article “Why People Choose to Live in Tiny Homes” 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
“Would you like to build a home someday? If so, where and what kind of
house do you want to build? あなたは自分の家を建てたいですか。もしそうなら、どこに、どのような家を建てたいですか。”.
④Example Answer：
将来、経済的に余裕があれば、是非自分の家を建てたいと思います。
自分は東京出身ですが、東京は、土地が高く、自然もそれほど多くないので、静岡県あたりに家を建てたいです。
二階建ての家で、一階にも、二階にも風呂場とトイレ、キッチンがある家が良いと思います。
それなら、誰か友達が遊びに来た時、長期で滞在できて快適だからです。
庭では畑を耕して、いろいろな野菜を栽培して漬物なども作りたいです。バーベキューができるスペースも作りたいです。
煙が出るので難しいかもしれませんが、隣の家と距離があって、迷惑にならないなら、自分で陶芸をして、つくった皿や茶碗などを焼くための窯も作れたら最高だと思います。
静岡県あたりが良いだろうと思った理由は、海が近いので、もし、釣りなどの趣味を始めた場合に、便利だろうと思ったからです。
やはり、将来は田舎に住みたいと思います。
For Intermediate Level Learner
If
you want to write something about another topic, try to do following practice.
(1) I introduce an article “Why People Choose to
Live in Tiny Homes” 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.
