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 “Are there any foods that you have for your health
and please explain why do you eat on a daily basis? 自分の健康のために、食べている食品はありますか。なぜそれらを日常的に食べていますか。”. I referred to a question “Are there any foods or drinks that you
try to avoid? Why? Why not?” from an article “Olive Oil May Be Good for Heart Health” 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
“Are there any foods that you have for your health and please explain why
do you eat on a daily basis? 自分の健康のために、食べている食品はありますか。なぜそれらを日常的に食べますか。”.
④Example Answer：
私が日常的によく食べているのは、日本の発酵食品です。
特に納豆が好きなので、いつもスーパーに行ったときは必ず買って、冷蔵庫に常備しています。
納豆を食べると、免疫力が上がり、骨も丈夫になると聞いたことがあるので、日常的に食べています。
健康にもいいですが、私が個人的に思う、納豆の良いところは、お腹が減った時、料理する必要がなく、すぐ食べられる点にあります。
他には、鯖や、鰯などの青魚の缶詰も良く買います。
青魚はDHAやEPAなどの成分が含まれていて、特に血液に良かったり、認知能力の維持に役立つそうです。
鯖の味噌煮の缶詰などは、もう料理されているので、缶を開けて熱々のご飯の上に出のせて食べるのは最高だと思います。
For Intermediate Level Learner
If
you want to write something about another topic, try to do following practice.
(1) I introduce an article “Olive Oil May Be Good
for Heart Health” 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.
