The entrance examination of Caritas junior high school

I glanced at the entrance examination of Caritas junior high school. I was surprised that it is so difficult. Kids who can pass the examination will think about and handle their matter by themselves in the future. Things wrriten in the examination paper is what I want kids to know.

The purpose of the examination is obviously screening of applicants. However, the intension to get good pupils makes good examination papers, good examination papers give kids occasions and incentive to train how to think of matters.

A young man asked me to loan

When I lived in Kokubunji, I was asked to loan by a young man in front of Kokubunji station. He seemed to be an idiot. He said, "I want to go my parent's home. Please loan me some money for train fare."

I answered, "Get a loan from a lender over there. I did so." There are several lenders in front of Kokubunji station. He said "Yes" and left.

Emerging countries advance economic growth by means of development of manufacturing industry. They demand natural resouces, finance and international trade. The cluster of high GDP/C results from global economic growth.

A real estate agent seems like a ramen shop.

A ramen shop which was near my apartment closed on early last March, before about a week from the big earthquake. The shop had been vacant.

It has renovated and opened as a real estate agent today. They renovated it, but they use the counter of the ramen shop as the table to talk business with customers. It is about 4 feet high. A table of a real estate agent is usually about 3 feet high. It is a real estate agent, but it seems like a ramen shop. It's funny. Of course, stools of ramen shop are replaced chairs, though which are too high for a real estate agent.
