What do Japanese children feel from their parents? They feel heavy______from their parents.Japanese students work very hard but many are unhappy. They feel heavy pressures from their parents. Most students are always told by their parents to study harder and better so that they can have a wonderful life in the future. Though this may be a good idea for those very bright students, it can have terrible results for many students who are not gifted enough. Many of them have tried very hard at school but have failed in the exams and have their parents lose hope. Such students feel that they are hated by everyone else they meet and they don’t want to go to school any longer. They become dropouts. It is surprising that though most Japanese parents are worried about their children, they do not help them in any way. Many parents feel that they are not able to help their children and that it is the teachers’ work to help their children. To make matters worse, a lot of parents send their children to those schools opening in the evenings and on weekends—they only help the students to pass the exams and never teach them any real sense of the world. Many Japanese schools usually have rules about everything from the students’ hair to their clothes and things in their school bags. Child psychologists now think that such strict rules are harmful to the feelings of the students. Almost 40% of the students said that no one had taught them how to get on with others, how to tell right from wrong and how to show love and care for others, even for their parents.

When writing about an event in a newspaper, time order is important and it’s usually a form of the inverted pyramid (倒金字塔). But if the most important part of the story occurs later in the series of events, be sure to mention this important fact early in the article, in the first, second or third paragraph. Use word economically. If you can say it in five words instead of ten, then five words is all you need. Never use big words because newspapers are written for a twelve-year-old reading level, in order to offer readers all backgrounds and abilities. Big wording is fine for serious writing, but in newspapers big words only confuse readers. Suppose the reader is reading the newspaper for the first time without knowing about a situation before, it is better to provide some background information. If a newspaper article discusses things that are not considered to be common knowledge, background information must be provided. When in doubt, spell it out for readers. Always look up words that you’re unsure of how to spell. A newspaper article full of spelling mistakes has little popularity. Besides, you should always present both sides of it when discussing about an argument. It’s important that the opposite point of view is represented, or readers may mistakenly believe the primary view that’s being discussed is the only view. When using quotations, be sure to catch the speaker’s or writer’s intention. Do not misrepresent a point of view by using quotations out of context or in a manner that the speaker did not intend. Get your quotations correct. If your quotes are wrong, you’re going to hear about it and this is very damaging to a journalist’s popularity within the community. Use a tape recorder if necessary.
