I agree with her
I think it is good to learn English as much as early.
Recently, government focuse on early English education.
I think it is great to promote English education for children, but how to introduce English education in elementary school is main problem.
In Japan, English is not necessary for our daily life. We don't have to speak English except English class. The level of grammar can catch up, if student start to study English at junior high school. However, pronuciation, fluency and accuracy will not master easily.
Teacher's speaking level is important. As article mentioned, there are few teacher who have English teaching certification at elementary school.
Moreover English level is less.
I think it is good to speak with native speaker because they can do task more practically.
At first step, it is important to feel them that "Speaking English is fun!!".
Then, they may think "I want to speak more !".
The feeling promote English education, I think.
Clearly, Japanese English level is low than other country in Asia.
For example, In Korea, almost children go abroad to study English. It becomes a social phenomenon. It shows how focuse English education in Korea.
English is no more foreign language and English is lingua franca.
That is why we should promote our English level or we will be left behind by the global movement.

Japan Times article
Do you agree or disagree with the author (who is Japanese).
I agree with the author.
In the past, Japanese men are bigotry and arrogant, so women tended to follow them.
However, it changed and now, Japanese women are more poweful than men, I think.
For example, "Oniyome"(a devil wife) is getting increase. It means women have real power at home. That is because men become be likely women and women tend to be likely men.
Perhaps,this merriage life also connect with out of love of men.
They can't describe happy marriage life and they give up love relationship.
Then, if it is decreasing number of marriage couple, low birth date phenomenon become more serious problem for us.
Love relationship is not easy in fact, it is always complicated.
That is why it is more intresting than jobs and hobbies.
I think Japanese men have to change their mind right away. Then they should think about love more seriously.

Class #10 Table Manners
Have you ever eaten in a foreign restaurant?
Yes, I have.
Where?
In England and Korea.
What did you eat?
In England, I ate English breakfast at hotel. In Korea, I ate Bibinnba and Kimuchi etc.
Did you make any mistakes?
In England, they use fork and knife, so it is quite difficult for me to use them at first.
However, basic table manner is almost same as Japan, I think.
In case of Korea, they use silver chopsticks and spoon.
When I ate lunch box, there were rice crackers. I thought these eat for dessert but actually it is eaten for mixing spicy and sweet flavors! Almost of all Korean food is quite hot for Japanese, so rice crackers are useful for us.
