Read “Living in Tokyo” by Sam Johnson.
“Living in Tokyo”
My name is Sam Johnson. I'm a citizen of New Zealand, but I live in
Tokyo. I came here two years ago from Auckland. In Japan, there were many
opportunities for New Zealanders to teach English and business. I have a
business degree from the University of Auckland. I teach English for
international business at a large Japanese university in Tokyo. I really like
my job. My students work hard. I usually teach 20 hours a week. I also plan
lessons and grade tests. I don't work during the summer. I usually go back to
New Zealand to visit my family in Auckland. I also like to travel in Asia. I
went to Thailand last year.
There were many problems for me in Japan at first. I was always lonely
because my family and friends were in New Zealand. The Japanese language was
hard for me. The winters here are cold and cloudy. In my first year here, there
was a lot of snow. In Auckland, the winters are cool, not cold. Also, Tokyo is
always crowded. The population of Tokyo is about 13 million people. There are
just too many people. I don't like to take the trains in Tokyo in the summer.
They're very hot!
After two years, I have several close Japanese friends. I also know many
people in my neighborhood. The people in the local markets are very friendly.
Now I feel welcome. I can speak Japanese fairly well, but my listening is still
weak. I can read some signs in train stations and menus in restaurants. I still
don't like Japanese winters and summers, but spring and fall are beautiful. I
travel all over Japan. I often go to Kyoto, the old capital. I have one really
close Japanese friend. His name is Aki. He is a lawyer for a big company. We go
hiking in the mountains on weekends. He is helping me to read and understand
Japanese. I feel much better about living in Japan now. I want to live here for
a long time.

Dear Sam,
1st Paragraph: Introduction in two or three sentences. State the main point
clearly.
I’m glad to hear that you’re enjoying your life here in
Japan and want to spend some more years. So, I’d like to give you a piece of
advice that may make your staying even more exciting and memorable. I recommend you to travel to
Hokkaido.
2nd
Paragraph: Write your advice in three to five
sentences.
As
you know, Hokkaido is the northernmost island. It is a big island in our scale
but there aren’t so many people or businesses in most part of the island.
Therefore, the nature is well preserved,
such as mountains, lakes, forests, sea shores and wild animals. <= In winter, it is cold and icy but
you can enjoy skiing in the world class ski resorts. In summer, you can travel
anywhere by train, bus, bike or even hitch-hiking. There are a lot to see in
any part of the island.
3rd Paragraph: Write another advice in three to five sentences.
Also,
they offer excellent local tastes
such as ramen noodles and seafood. <=
Ramen noodles in Sapporo, the capital of the prefecture, are so popular that
almost all the visitors there try it. Its unique miso-based soup is usually
thick and rich. There is a popular place called Ramen Yokocho where numbers of
ramen restaurants offer different types and tastes of ramen noodles. Also, you
can easily imagine how fresh the seafood there is. The most popular seafood
there is salmon. There are several kinds of salmon dishes and they are all
good. But I would suggest you should try Ishikari-nabe. It’s a hotpot dish made
with salmon and vegetables in miso based soup. It’s not only tasty but also
keeps you warm even in the severe winter there.
Last Paragraph: Conclude your email to encourage and cheer him up in two or
three sentences.
Sam,
I believe Hokkaido offers most
memorable experiences for you. It may even remind you the sceneries and
nature of your country. I hope a trip to Hokkaido will make your life in Japan
even more enjoyable.
Best
regards,
TK
