It was quite hot today, wasn’t it? I hope you are all feeling well.
First, thank you for your lovely blog comments last week. It was a pleasure to read them. It seems that most of you respect your family members! Masashi looks up to all of his family members, Atsushi, Keigo and Rina respect their parents, Marina, Sayoko, Kanako and Yuki Takushima look up to their mothers, Hirokazu and Shinichiro look up to their fathers, Kouhei looks up to his grandparents, Nozomi respects her grandfather and Yuzuru admires his older brother. Many of you also admire people you’ve met at school. For example, Kanae, Saki Takashiba, Yumi, Hiroaki, Yoshie and Emiko admire past teachers, Arisa and Yuki Tanabe look up to their high school seniors, Masato, Koudai and Saki Takashima look up to their club advisors and coaches, and Akira looks up to his old baseball manager. Kenshi and Hiroyuki admire athletes, Yousuke and Eriko respect historical figures, and Toshiaki looks up to people who try hard.
Thanks once again for sharing your opinions!!
Okay, now on to this week’s blog topic. This week I’d like you to tell us what you would do if you won $1 million dollars (or yen).
If I won $1 million dollars, I would take my mum and dad on a trip to Japan. My parents have never been to Japan before, but my dad in particular is very interested in visiting Japan. In fact he wants to come next year. If I had a million dollars, first, I would buy my parents first class plane tickets to Japan. Then, I would take them to all of the places that they want to visit, such as Kyoto, Tokyo, Hiroshima and of course Shimonoseki. We would stay at only the best hotels and eat the most delicious food. And of course I would buy them any souvenirs that they want. If I have any money left over, I’ll put it in a high-interest bank account, or invest in stocks, to save it for a rainy day.
Anyway, enough about me. How about you? What would you do with 1 million dollars/yen?? Please write about 150 words by NEXT TUESDAY (23 June) MIDNIGHT. And don’t forget to leave a comment for the person who wrote before you.
Have a great week,
Kris
Hi, Kris. I also want my parents to go place where they want to go. I think that will be nice. Hmmm, maybe my parents want to go Hawaii. They went to there when they got married.
返信削除If I got $1 million dollars, first, I will donate 10%~20% to UNICEF. And I will take my family on a trip to place where they want to go. I want to go to America or France. I have never been to a foreign country. I will get special soundproof room. It has nice big screen to watch movies. And I will line up my favorite books there. I can read books in perfect circumstances. I really want to get it. If I couldn’t get $1 dollars, I will get it someday in my life. Maybe favorite books are more important than big screen for me.
I can’t get more good idea now. So, that’s all about my idea now. I think there are more important things. But, I feel like I’m forget something. I should think about it . We don’t know when this kinds of things come in future.
Bye bye.
Hi,Keigo.The thing you will donate money to UNICEF is very good.
返信削除If you got $ 1 million dollars, You really should do it.
Personally, If I got 1 million yen, I will take a lot of things.
For example, I will take my parents.
I play soccer since I was young and I have been spent a lot of money by my parents from old days.
So,If I got much money, I want to show devotion to my parents.
Next, I will take my friends.
I want to use much money not only alone but also with my friends and enjoy playing together.
These things will become big memories.
Besides, I will buy many lotteries.
If I will win the first prize in a lottery, I will become a millionaire.
Don't you think that you are good?
However, there is not such a good story.
I think that the thing don't go as one wishes is exactly human life.
So, you should spend the money carefully.
Thank you for reading. Bye-bye.
Hi,kenshi. I think to buy lotteries is very good.
返信削除If I got $1 million dollars, I want to enjoy a lot. It is possible to enjoy a lot when there are $1 million dollars. First, I would take my family on a trip to foreign countries. My family likes trip. I want the family to enjoy trip. Second, I want to buy the big house and a car. My dream is to live in a big house. A big house will be able to be bought if there are one million dollars. And I like a car. My favorite car is a sports car. Ferrari is good. Third, I want to eat a lot of nice meals. There are a lot of nice meals in all over the world and I want to eat all. It is the big enjoyment.
In short, I want to play a lot. But, $1 million dollars is insufficient for me.
Thank you.
Hi, Yuzuru. To travel foreign country is a nice idea. I think I want to go to foreign country someday.
返信削除If I won $1 million, first, I want to give most of money to the poor children, but I don’t donate to UNICEF. You may say “I don’t know what you mean.” I want to go to a poor country, and I want to give them the money directly. We always listen to a thing that many children are dead in a poor country. But I haven’t ever seen a reality with my eyes, and I don’t have real feeling. So, I proceed to the spot, and I want to see a present condition. And I really want to save the only life they have and to see their smiles. I think I can change human life a lot if I can do that thing. Second, I want to save the rest of money because we don’t know what happen just like a present depression.
Thank you for reading.

Your way of using the money is very inteested.

However, if I can get them, I still have ninety million yen.
I want my parents to retire their jobs. (My mother always says to me “I want to retire my job.”)
And I want my parents to travel to many countries, of course with me and my sister.
I’ll save left money after doing them.
Even if I have much money, I want to work after this university and I want to experience many things through my job.
And, today, everyone can’t know what happened (that is “What may happen next, nobody can tell”) so I’ll save money for accident.
Rina,you are very filial poety.
返信削除You treasure your parent forever.
I think very different one million yen and one million dollar.
So, I think one million dollar because dollar is more expensive than yen.I am eighteen that don’t have responsible for right. If I get one million dollar, I don’t say it to anyone. And, I put all money in the bank. And, I will start to study about stock and real estate until I become twenty. I invest in stock or real estate to using one million dollar and it’s interest when I put in the bank. Then, I want to establish practice company to use money that I invest in stock and real estate.
Or, I use fifty hundred dollar to buy moo’s land and mars’s land. Because, I think moon’s and mars’s land price will be rise in the future. But, moon’s and mars’s land price will not happen during I live. And, I want to contribute to fifty hundred dollar to environmentalist groups.
Thank you for your reading.

Thank you for reading.
Hi, Hiroaki.
返信削除I want moterbike. Becouse, it is very convenience.
If I obtain one million dollars, it invests variously.
It is now because there is such a recessional person who is especially gaining money though said that the price of financial products will not go up in the recession.
I think that the one necessary for the investment is management of the risk, the capital, and knowledge.
Therefore, when I get a lot of money, it is invested for my study, and I invest in financial products in the mark.
