気になったことを綴るだけのブログです

6/30×(朝食パン二枚昼カプチーノバターチキンカレー夜ローストビーフ)

 セカンドセメスターが始まる前に、日記の習慣をつけようと思う。というのも、二月に来てから一ヶ月二ヶ月は真面目に日記をつけていたものの、そこで止まってしまった。そこで、人目につく(つかないが)ブログにすることで、恥ずかしくないような進歩を残そうという心意気である。

 内容は次のとおりである。まず、英語によるその日の日記。次に、適社内定2021上の問題を英語で述べる。最後に、見たTEDの感想とその日覚えたフレーズを三つほど載せる。この量を毎日こなすのはなかなか難しいが、後4ヶ月半悔いのないようにしたい。新しい単語には下線を引く。

 なお、一週間に一冊英語の本を読むことも目標にしたい。これは日曜日に日記に感想を載せることとする。今日は初めの日なので載せない。また、運動をできた日はタイトルの日付の横に○をつける。できなかった場合、×をつける。

 ここにきて成長していることが何もなく、スピーキングも赤子に毛が生えた程度であることを反省し、早寝早起きして私の人生一番勉強する時期としたい。

 Today, I went to the Albatross Center in Otago Peninsula with a friend of mine. Albatross is a bird. They spend almost all of their life on the sea, but when they raise their chird, they come to the land and hatch an egg and feed their child. Children of Albatross cannot fly before they do diet because they are only feeded by their parents. To do diet, parents put their food far from their child and force him walk. This fact is very interesting. And we are not surprised that they are worried about plastic waste because children of Albatross often eat them and it tends to stay inside. One boy who came there with his mother said that we should know where to waste to protect them. But a guide, who is a man, said to him that there are people who can only think about themselves because they are in poverty. This is true, then  the boy told that we should make a robot which collects waste. He was very pure and cute and a guide taught him about human being gently. Some people tend to deny opinions of children and think that the child's plan is impossible, but we should rethink this attitude. Also, his mother made a lot of questions about Albatross so we can learn about them very much. If we had questions or not, we should have asked something to the guide, I regret about it. But I could ask a person whether we can go outside a cafe or not. This is my progress to talk to a person.

    After that, we went to the Meridian Mall and ate butter chicken curry. It was so large and I couldn't eat everything. I should ask them not to put rice next time. However, we can eat new dishes except Macdonald's so that is my second progress. If not, we only ate hamburgers. We talked a lot of things today. Her pricate stories were very funny. Also, she talked about her major, law. She refered to the professor's case that professor invaded in a library he cannot enter, and changed his book with another professor's book... In this case, he is not accused about fraud. I always listened to her story, but I want to speak one useful thing next time I meet her.

Q1 XとYを埋めてください。米国のトランプ大統領と中国のXは29日に大阪市内で会談し、5月から途絶えている貿易協議の再開で合意した。米国は3千億ドル(約33兆円)分の中国製品への追加関税を先送りする。米企業による中国のYへの部品販売も認める方針に転じた。

 X=習近平 Y=HUAWEI

Q2 エンティティー・リストとは何ですか。説明してください。

   Entity List is a list of companies which are possible to effect on world's security and foreign policies made by America. If you are to contract with one of these companies, you should get a permission from a country. Over several thousand companies are on the list, and this list have much effect on them. This is applied not only to American companies, but also MNEs.

Q3 XとYを埋めてください。 29日に閉幕した20カ国・地域首脳会議(G20大阪サミット)は海洋プラスチック(廃プラ)についてX年までにゼロにする目標を導入することで各国が合意した。深刻化する環境への影響にYが共同で取り組む意思を初めて示した

    X=2050 Y=中国?

Waste plastic is very big environmental problem between developed countries and developing countries. They throw away a half amount of all waste plastic in the world, and they have exported them to the southeastern countries because there are not so much space to waste them in their countries. Before this plan was decided in G20, some developed companies tried to reduce plastics because China stopped to accept plastic waste. Also, developing countries will introduce mashines to take apart plastic. But is it realistic?

Q4 WTOとは何ですか。G20で打ち出されたWTOの改革について、説明してください。

World Trade Organization. "The World Trade Organization (WTO) is the only global international organization dealing with the rules of trade between nations. At its heart are the WTO agreements, negotiated and signed by the bulk of the world’s trading nations and ratified in their parliaments. The goal is to ensure that trade flows as smoothly, predictably and freely as possible." (WTO website, 2019)

Before this summit, in 2017 Hamburg summit, they daclared 'anti-protectionism'. But now, trade war between China and America is very intense, and prime minister Abe judged that that word will encourage the war to be worse. So they only artificate 'free, fair and indiscriminate trade'.

Q5 G20ではアメリカよりも中国ペースで事が進みました。その理由を「国家主権を巡る争い」と「米大統領選」から説明してください。

President Donald Trump cannot attack to China and should think about economic effect thank to this summit because he worried about his next presidential election.
