We each have our own preferred way of learning as a result of our cultural and educational back？grounds and our personalities. Experts have identi？fied different learning styles.
Visual Learners usually enjoy reading and prefer to see an image of the words they are learn？ing. Auditory Learners on the other hand prefer to learn by listening. They enjoy conversations and talking to others.
Some people like to learn by using their hands to touch objects？ while others like to move around and need frequent breaks from sitting at a desk.
There are Analytical Learners meaning they enjoy understanding how the language works. They love studying grammar rules and like to focus on de？tails whereas Global Learners are more interested in communicating their ideas and are not worried about whether what they say is grammatically correct.
In spoken English the Japanese tend to be Re？flective Learners. They think carefully before they speak to ensure their message is accurate. They do not make so many mistakes but their communication is slower. European learners tend to be Impulsive Learners. They speak more fluently and worry about how well they are communicating rather than how many mistakes they are making.
So to do well in a language？ you should identi- fy your style. and try to find a class that will teach you the way you want to learn. For example if you are a Reflective Learner you may not do so well in a purely conversational class and as an Auditory Learner you probably don't want to do so much reading. In fact if you are an Auditory Learner you are probably not enjoying yourself right now!

Employment in Japan
Recruiting season: who, when and where
Every autumn, when recruitment of new graduates and school leavers begins, major cities in Japan are flooded with students hunting for a job. Wearing suits for the first time, they run from one interview to another. The season is crucial for many students as their whole lives may be determined during this period.
Permanency in employment in Japan
In Japan, lifetime employment is commonly practiced by large companies. While people working in small companies and those working for subcontractors do not in general enjoy the advantages conferred (赐予) by the large companies, there is a general expectation that employees will in fact remain more or less permanently in the same job.
How new employees are used in a company
Unlike in many Western countries where companies employ people whose skills can be effective immediately, Japanese companies select applicants with potential who can be trained to become suitable employees. For this reason, recruiting employees is an important exercise for companies, as they invest a lot of time and money in training new staff. This is basically tree both for factory workers and for professionals. Professionals who have studied subjects which are of immediate use in the workplace, such as industrial engineers, are very often placed in factories and transferred from one section to another. By gaining experience in several different areas and by working in close contact with workers, the engineers are believed, in the long run, to become more effective members of the company. Workers too feel more involved by working with professionals and by being allowed to voice their opinions. Loyalty is believed to be cultivated in this type of egalitarian(平等主义的)working environment.
The salary structure
Because of this system of training employees to be all-rounders (全才), mobility between companies is low. Wages are set according to educational background or initial field of employment, ordinary graduates being employed in administration, engineers in engineering and design departments and so on. Beth promotions and wage increases tend to be tied to seniority, though some differences may arise later on as a result of ability and business performance. Wages are paid monthly, and the net sum, after the deduction of tax, is usually paid directly into a bank account. As well as salary, a bonus is usually paid twice a year. This is a custom that dates back to the time when employers gave special allowances so that employees could properly celebrate bon, a Buddhist festival held in mid-July in Tokyo, but on other dates in other regions. The festival is held to appease (安抚) the souls of ancestors. The second bonus is distributed at New Year. Recently, bonuses have also been offered as a way of allowing workers a share in the profits that their hard work has gained.
Women and Japanese companies
Many female graduates complain that they are not given equal training and equal opportunity in comparison to male graduates. Japanese companies generally believe that female employees will eventually leave to get married and have children.
It is also true that, as well as the still-existing belief among women themselves that nothing should stand in the way of child-rearing, the extended hours of work often do not allow women to continue their careers after marriage.
The recruitment strategy of foreign firms
Disappointed career-minded female graduates often opt to work for foreign firms. Since most male graduates prefer to join Japanese firms with their guaranteed security, foreign firms are often keen to employ female graduates as their potential tends to be greater than that of male applicants. Why men sometimes resign from Japanese companies Some men, however, do leave their compa

M: Nana is the most popular comic series because Japanese people can sympathize with this love story. Why Japanese people love comics is probably because riley do not show much of what they think or feel. So, they project their thoughts and feelings in comics.

M: The most famous part in Japan is Tokyo, the center of modern culture in Japan and all Japanese trends are born there.
W: What is the most important festival in Japan and why does it become so significant for the Japanese？
M: In Japan, the most important festival is the New Year's Holidays. Japanese people visit a shrine on New Year's day to pray for health and good future. Also, family gets together and many children receive money. Also, people clean the house before the New Year and eat toshikoshi soba for long life. And on New Year's day people eat osechi ryori, which is very special and delicious. I like New Year very much.
W: If I want to skiing, where should I go？
M: I think Nagano(长野) is the best place to ski in Japan. The reason is because the Winter Olympics were held in Nagano in 1998. The snow there is very soft and beautiful.
W: What kind of food do you like besides Japanese food？ Like American food, Chinese food？
M: Recently, young Japanese people eat with their friends at fast food restaurants like McDonalds or Yoshinoya. There are not many university students eating meals at home. I think that I am the same as those students. Also, Japanese like Italian, Chinese, and Korean food. But I like Japanese food the best because foreign food is too strong for me.
W: What do you think about Junlehiro Koizumi？ Is he handsome or look old？
M: I think Prime Minister Koizumi is a progressive person rather than a traditional one. He is active and has made good diplomacy, but his idea of tax increase is not good. I think capitalism is going to do big damage to poor people. Koizmni's capitalism is just like that of President George Bush. Is Koizumi handsome？ Well, I think he looks not all that bad.
