Clunker was back with 2 levels up since its start

I began a blog "Green-eyed clunker" as a beginning of the Internet output. At that time my goal was breaking the ice in the cyberspace, I enjoy to read but shied away from writing anything before then. Few people turned their eyes to my entries because I had only boring topics and even those topics I could only describe less than 10 percent of them. Therefore I failed to give any interesting view through my "Green-eyed Clunker" activity. I described myself as "Green-eyed" because I had few opportunity to communicate and I had no choice but saying words to myself, envy of anyone else social enough to widen their world to communicate. Another thing which made my eyes "green" was employment. When I began this blog, I was going to job training program for disabled people. I experienced several kinds of data entry works. Engaging in these works I made an effort to understand further purpose of these data entries, seeking deeper understanding ...

Suspended but still alive

Virtual report - from me at work to me at home

So far, the person I speak English to is myself. So, one feasible way to practice business communication is communicating myself through business communications. For example, I send a report email from home to office. The contents would be: What I should do at work Articles I was interested to enlighten myself but didn't enough time to read at home Corporate philosophy for the day that I especially pay attention to practice  This is feasible way to practice business emails in English, because in my workplace only I well understand English. I believe creating daily practice task will take me further achievement in communicating in English, and sometimes win a job English proficiency is important. 

Me at home communicating with me at work

So far, there is no situation at least at work where I communicate in English. However, we're learning business manners and find out that I haven't even mastered my native language Japanese; I have known I have a lot of words or correct usage of words in business situation. It's no wonder I have a lot to know about and in English. Besides learning and practicing business communications, I believe, is useful to my future career. But how? I communicate myself as well as I've done ever before in learning English. For example I write an email to my email account at work, according to the manner of a business email.

A prepaid card and Magnetic buckles

One day when I rode on a bus, my bus ticked didn't read. I didn't know why. The bus ticket was a prepaid card and recoded the balance magnetically, and if it's put near a magnet the data may be impaired. But where were the magnet? Perhaps it was a magnetic buckle on my bag. A few years ago I had had the same experience, and at that time the pen tablet I'd just bought was suspicious, so since then I had kept bus cards away from the tablet and other magnetic devices. But I hadn't had the idea that a bag could ever be the culprit.
