Dubois-san gave a presentation about her recent lifestyle in class. Read the presentation and answer the questions.

Lifestyle in Japan

It’s been just a month since I’ve begun studying abroad in Japan. During the first two weeks, there were a lot of things I had to do and also a lot of things I didn’t understand, so every day I was only able to sleep about three or four hours. But now I’ve become used to the Japanese lifestyle, and I’m enjoying everyday life. It’s a little different depending on the day of the week, but every night I usually sleep about seven hours.
I am now living in a university dormitory called the International House. You can get to school from the dormitory by bike in about 10 minutes, so it’s very convenient. My room is on the second floor. It’s a corner room, so there are even two windows. It’s not spacious, but it’s bright and a good room.
There are about 20 foreign exchange students and Japanese students total living in this dormitory. Cooking is my hobby, so I often cook and eat together in the first-floor kitchen with the Japanese students. There is also a lounge that anyone can use on the first floor. I like this lounge’s big sofa, and I often do homework together with other foreign exchange students in this lounge. There is a large television in the lounge, so on the weekends there are also times when everyone plays games together. Every day is truly fun.

1. When did Dubois-san come to Japan?
2. When Dubois-san began studying abroad, roughly how much did she sleep every day? Why was that?

[pp.28-29] 4-1

millimeter, centimeter, meter, kilometer, gram, kilogram, degrees (celsius)

Select the correct one in the brackets. Write the reading of the underlined numbers in hiragana.

e.g., Johnson-san’s height is one meter and 98 centimeters.

1. It is said that the tallest mountain in Japan is Mount Fuji, and it is 3,776 [meters, kilometers].
2. There are roughly 6 [meters, kilometers] from my dormitory to school. It takes about 20 minutes by bike.
3. My older brother is as much as 8 [centimeters, meters] taller than me.
4. I ate a steak called One Pound Steak yesterday. It was a very big, roughly 450 [gram, kilogram] steak.
5. The neighbor’s dog is very big. Even though it’s a dog, I heard it weighs 60 [grams, kilograms].
6. I somewhat like the design of this bag, but it’s more than one [gram, kilogram], and that’s too heavy. It’d be good to have an 800 [gram, kilogram] one…

[pp.29-30] 4-2

Johnson-san presented a problem of his in class. Read the presentation and answer the questions.

Problem: My Height is 6.5!

Today, I’d like to talk about a time I was troubled when I came to Japan. My problem is length and height units. In Japan, you use millimeters, centimeters, meters, and kilometers for length. Also, you use things like grams and kilograms for weight. But in America, things such as inches, feet, yards, and miles are used for length, while ounces and pounds are used for weight. I didn’t consider this difference before coming to Japan, so it took a while getting used to.
The first time I had this problem was when talking about height. I’m tall, so around the time I just came to Japan, I was often asked, “Roughly, what is your height?” When I was asked for the first time, I answered with “I’m 6.5,” but they weren’t able to understand me at all. At that time, I looked it up and found out 6.5 feet is one meter and 98 centimeters, so I now make sure to answer with “About two meters,” but when I talk about length and weight, there are still times even now when it feels difficult.
There was another thing that took time getting used to. That is temperature units. In America, we use Fahrenheit, but in Japan, you use Celsius. 32 degrees Celsius is roughly 90 degrees Fahrenheit. I don’t like hot days, so if I hear “Today should get up to 32 degrees Celsius” in the weather forecast, I always think, “It’d be better if it was 32 degrees Fahrenheit…” That’s because 32 degrees Fahrenheit is 0 degrees Celsius.

1. What kind of things troubled Johnson-san after coming to Japan?
2. When Johnson-san was asked about his height for the first time in Japan, in what unit did he respond?
3. When Johnson-san is asked about his height now, how does he respond?
4. Which does Johnson-san like better, days when it is 32 degrees Celsius or when it is 32 degrees Fahrenheit? Why is that?

Yi-san gave a presentation in class about things she likes doing in winter. Read the presentation and answer the questions.

Winter Fun: Nabe Cuisine
I don’t really like cold seasons. Japan’s winters are also cold, so I don’t really like it. But there is one thing I love doing in Japanese winter. That is eating “nabe cuisine.” I love nabe, so I eat it almost every week in winter. There are also times when I eat it more than five days in a single week.
Nabe is a dish in which you add vegetables and usually meat or fish to the inside of hot broth in a pot and boil it. When making nabe, you use a pot made from clay called a “donabe.” In order to cook nabe cuisine, I also bought a donabe. And I also bought a small stove that I can place on a table.
Once it becomes cold, various kinds of nabe broth begin to sell at the supermarket. I like buying different flavors of broth every week and trying to compare them. Last week, I bought a miso flavor and a kimchi flavor, then made the miso-flavored nabe on Tuesday and the kimchi-flavored one on Friday. I put fish and vegetables in the miso-flavored nabe and chicken and kimchi in the kimchi-flavored one. Both were very delicious. I’m planning on going to a famous nabe cuisine restaurant this weekend with friends. It’s a store that I’m going to for the first time, so I’m really looking forward to it.

b. nabe broth (kimchi flavor)
c. kimchi
d. vegetables

f. fish

Nabe made on Tuesday | Nabe made on Friday

B. Write a circle in the true sentences and an “x” in the untrue sentences.

1. Yi-san loves winter because she can eat nabe cuisine.
2. Yi-san eats nabe more than five days every week in winter.

The below is a Q&A site about Japanese. Brown-san responded to a question written on the site. Read his response and answer the questions.

Shaun
Q. Hot? Hot?
Do the Japanese words “暑い” and “熱い” have the same meaning? Or is there a difference? And how about “寒い” and “冷たい?”

Brown
A. I also remember having this problem when I first learned these words and kanji! “暑い” is a kanji used when the air temperature is high. For example, when writing “today is hot,” you use this kanji. For times other than that, use “熱い.” For example, you use it for things such as coffee, tea, and ramen. Then, there’s also the kanji “厚い” for “atsui.” This kanji has the meaning of thick and you use it like “thick steak” and “thick book.” 
The differences between “寒い” and “冷たい” resemble those of “暑い” and “熱い.” When you mean “the air temperature is low, ” you use “寒い” as in “cold day” or “cold winter.” For other cases, you use “冷たい” like “cold water” or “cold wind.”
And there are also two kanji for “atatakai!” They are “暖かい” and “温かい.” These kanji’s differences are also the same as “暑い” and “熱い,” so you use them like “warm day” or “warm soup.”

A. Select the correct one in the brackets.

1. A: Today is cold, huh?
   B: Yes, it is. We want it to warm up quickly, right?
2. A: Here is your tea. It’s hot, so be careful.
   B: Sorry… but I wanted it cold.
3. A: Isn’t this room a bit too hot?
   B: Is that so? Well then, I’ll shut off the stove.
4. A: The wind outside was chilly and it felt really cold.
   B: Is that so? Do you want to drink something warm then?

B. Ask a classmate the below questions. When answering, let’s explain in an easy to understand way by giving examples like Brown-san.

1. How are “寒い” and “冷たい” different?
2. How many kanji are there for the word “atatakai?” How do you use each of them?
3. How many kanji are there for the word “atsui?” How do you use each of them?

Johnson-san responded to a question written on a Japanese Q&A website. Read his response and answer the questions.

Laura
Q. To, Dō, Fu, Ken?

I studied a phrase called “todōfuken” in a dictionary. This is written as “prefecture” in English. But Okinawa Prefecture, which I traveled to last year, is called “Okinawa-ken.” It is not “Okinawa-todōfuken.” What kinds of times are better to use “todōfuken?”

Johnson
A. “To,” “dō,” “fu,” and “ken” all have the meaning of “prefecture,” but “to,” “dō,” and “fu” are only used for the following four. 

“to” > Tokyo-to | “dō” > Hokkaido
“fu” > Osaka-fu, Kyoto-fu

The ones apart from these four all use “ken.” Therefore, Okinawa, which you went to last year, is “Okinawa-ken.” If you say things such as “Okinawa-fu,” “Okinawa-dō,” and “”Okinawa-fu,” all are incorrect.
The phrase “todōfuken” gets used in sentences such as the ones below, for example.
・How many prefectures (todōfuken) are there in Japan?
・Of all the prefectures (todōfuken) you’ve been to, please tell me the place that was the best.
・How many names of prefectures (todōfuken) do you remember?

Select the correct one inside of the brackets.

1. The word “to” is used for [Tokyo, Hokkaido, Osaka].
2. The word “fu” is used for [Tokyo, Hokkaido, Osaka & Kyoto].
3. Saying “Okinawa-ken” is [correct, incorrect].
4. Saying “Okinawa–dō” is [correct, incorrect].
5. The way of asking the question “Which prefecture (todōfuken) do you want to try living in?” is [correct, incorrect].

Foreign exchange students wrote compositions about their travels in Japan. Read each composition and answer the questions.

Wang-san [A Fun Family Trip]
Three years ago in spring, I went to Okinawa for a trip together with my family. At that time, I was still living in China and I went from Shanghai to Okinawa. It took about 3 hours by plane.
While we were in Okinawa, every day was very sunny and really hot. We went to various places by rental car. All of the places we went to were fun but the aquarium called “Churaumi Aquarium” was especially great. Here we were able to do things such as touch and look at fish of various kinds and sizes, as well as see shows. The best part was being able to see a big shark open its big mouth and eat food for lunch.

Brown-san [Memory of Hokkaido]
Two years ago in August when I went to hang out in Hokkaido, I went to an Ainu History Museum located in a town called “Shiraoi.” I was able to study a lot about things such as Ainu culture and history there and it was very interesting. Also, I was able to listen to Ainu songs and play an instrument called the “tonkori.” The tonkori is a traditional Ainu instrument and resembles the shape of a guitar. I like music and I play guitar as a hobby so having played this instrument was the most fun. I didn’t understand the words of the Ainu songs and it was a shame but the voices and rhythm were beautiful so I was very moved (emotionally).

Yi-san [Enjoy Japan Travel by Train]
In the summer of last year, I traveled around various places in Japan by train. First, I headed West from Tokyo and went to Osaka. Then in Osaka, I did things such as tour famous places and eat delicious food. After that, I crossed the bridge between Honshu and Shikoku and went to Tokushima City of Tokushima Prefecture. In Tokushima City, I watched the dance festival in which they dance the “Awaodori,” a traditional dance. This dance appeared to seem easy so I also tried dancing along. But I wasn’t able to dance well at all. I thought, “This is harder than I imagined!”.
After returning to Honshu, I also went to Kyushu. In Kyushu, the shrine called “Dazaifutenmangū” in Fukuoka was the best. That shrine is famous for having a God of Learning so I bought a protection charm in hopes that my grades will improve.

[pp.59-60] 3-4

Yi-san gave a presentation in class about a tour that she’d like to participate in. Read the presentation and answer the questions.

Kyoto Kōyō Bus Tour
Today, I will be presenting the tour I would like to participate in. The tour I want to participate in is a tour called “Kyoto Kōyō Bus Tour.” I found this tour on the Internet. On this tour, participants can go to Kyoto’s famous tourist spots by bus and enjoy the autumn leaves. I heard from a friend who grew up in Kyoto, “It’s better to go in autumn because Kyoto’s autumn leaves are beautiful,” so I thought I’d want to try participating in this tour. I would like to take a lot of pictures of beautiful trees and mountains that have become red and yellow.
The departure spot of this tour is Kyoto Station, and the departure time is 10 o’clock. I heard we will go to a famous temple in the morning. After that, we will eat Kyō-ryōri for lunch. “Kyō-ryōri” is Japanese cuisine that makes use of Japan’s traditions and Kyoto’s culture, and I heard that a lot of vegetables made in Kyoto are used in it. I don’t really like vegetables, but the ones in Kyō-ryōri look beautiful and delicious and I want to try them. 
In the afternoon, we will go to a tourist spot called “Arashiyama.” This place is famous for its beautiful natural scenery. I like to walk in nature, so I want to enjoy the beautiful scenery and delicious air while watching the autumn leaves. After Arashiyama, we will go to a famous castle and return to Kyoto Station around 5 o’clock. 
The price of this tour is 8,100 yen. If you use the train or bus to tour by yourself, you may be able to do it cheaper. However, I don’t think this fee is expensive because it includes the cost of Kyō-ryori, and a tour guide will talk about the history of Kyoto on the bus. In addition, it is difficult to look up the time of trains and buses and transfer, so I think it’s good to join a bus tour. If I could go to Kyoto this fall, I would like to participate in this tour.

A. Let’s summarize information about the tour that Yi-san presented. Circle the one correct item from a~c in #2 and all the items from a~h in #5.

1. Tour name
2. Tour length
   a. day trip
   b. one night, two days
   c. two nights, three days
3. Departure time and place
4. Fees/fares
5. Things included in the tour
   a. eating breakfast
   b. eating lunch
   c. eating dinner
   d. seeing autumn leaves at Arashiyama
   e. seeing autumn leaves at a famous temple
   f. seeing autumn leaves at a famous castle
   g. listening to the tour guide’s advice (lit., the tour guide’s words)
   h. transferring from bus to train
6. Reason why Yi-san wants to participate in the tour

B. Write a circle for true and an “x” for false.

1. Yi-san had asked a friend who was raised in Kyoto to recommend this tour to her.
2. Yi-san would like to eat Kyō-ryōri again because the one she ate before was delicious.
3. Arashiyama is known for the beauty of its scenery.
4. This tour returns and ends at the departure place.
5. Yi-san thinks you can travel cheaper if you participate in a tour than if you use the trains and buses by yourself for sightseeing.

[pp.71-74] 3-2

Foreign exchange students wrote about recommended places that they often go to in the shopping district. Read the sentences in 1~4 and answer the questions.

1. Yi-san [Korean Cuisine is Delicious!]
   My recommended store is a Korean restaurant called Seoul House. I go to Seoul House one or two times a month. The recommended menu here is bulgogi and bibimbap. Among my friends, there are some who cannot eat spicy things and don’t really like Korean food, but those friends too say that Seoul House’s bibimbap is the best.
   Seoul House is near the shopping district mailbox. Exit from the north exit of the station and turn right at the corner with the mailbox. Go a little bit further, and then it’s on your left. On the opposite side of the street as well, there is a Korean cuisine restaurant called “Seoul Town,” so please don’t get it wrong. Seoul Town’s cuisine is also delicious, but Seoul House’s prices are a little bit cheaper, and the menu is bigger, so I recommend it.
2. Wang-san [Place to Find Manga You Want to Read]
   My favorite store in the shopping district is a manga cafe called Comic Room. There are many beloved manga that I think I would like to read countless times at Comic Room, so I usually go there once or twice a week and read manga. Usually I only drink beverages, but when I’m hungry, there are also times when I eat things like ramen and curry. When I went last week, I ate miso ramen while reading a cooking manga.
   Comic Room is close to the bus stop, so if you go by bus, it’s convenient. Once you get off the bus, head towards the bank and walk. The comic room is on the second floor of the building on the opposite side of the street from the bank. The store’s name is written in Katakana on the second-floor window, but it’s a little bit hard to find, so be cautious.
3. Dubois-san [My Oasis]
   I go to the shopping district almost every weekend. There are many interesting stores, but the one that I recommend most is the shopping district shrine. There are a lot of trees at this shrine, and even on hot summer days, it’s cooler than other places. Everyone speaks quietly in the shrine, so even though there are a lot of people, it’s always quiet. I love to take a walk while talking with friends in this shrine. And at times such as those when I’m feeling tired or I want to think about something, I go to this shrine alone. When I walk around the shrine by myself, no matter what kind of tough things there are, I always have a feeling that “I’ll do my best tomorrow too.”
   This shrine is at the end of the shopping district. If you go by train, exit out of the station’s North exit and walk straight until the end of the shopping district. If you go by bus, after getting off, go until the intersection with the mailbox and turn left at that corner.
4. Brown-san [Place Where You Can Enjoy Matcha and Paintings]
   My top recommendation is a cafe called Tea Time. I often do things like drink matcha lattes and eat matcha cake at this cafe. There’s a variety of paintings decorated on the wall of this store, and it’s like a small art museum. New paintings are put on display every month, so while I wait for my matcha latte to come, I make it a rule to look at the paintings on the walls. I like anime, and I often draw anime character paintings, but in the future, I also want to draw artistic paintings like those decorated in this cafe.
   Tea Time is near the station. After exiting the North exit, go straight and enter left into the narrow street between the greengrocer and police box. Go a little further, and Tea Time will be on your left. But if you look at it from the outside, it seems like a typical home kind of store, so it may be a little bit hard to find. There is a store selling tea leaves called “Tea Leaves” next to the cafe, so if you find that store, enter the store to its right.
