[TS] When someone gives a gift in a formal situation, most people in Japan tend to receive a gift in a behaved manner.

<= [SS-1] First, the receiver tries to look surprised by the gift because they don’t want the giver to think it was expected.

[SD-1] In some cases, the receiver often refuses to take the gift until the giver repeatedly asks to take it.

<= [SS-2] Also, people don’t open the gift right away because they’re afraid to look childish.

Studying vs Learning-Sr.2-Nov.21

Studying versus Learning

Just as there is a big difference between hearing and listening, there is a big difference between studying and learning. Hearing is what your ears do. Listening is what your brain does.

With today’s technology, information is easy to find if you just search for it. Of course, it is important to develop your memory, but when you learn, you develop the ability to confirm and explain your knowledge and understanding.

This is also important for learning new languages. You can memorize vocabulary, but if you can’t make a sentence, you can’t communicate. Through learning, you develop your own original thoughts.

Indeed, there is a limit to how much you can remember, but there is no limit how much you can learn.

=> Write what Learning is compared with Studying in four to five sentences.
