A Doctor
I am a doctor. My passion is helping people. In Japan, I was so busy that I couldn’t keep my passion. Then I saw a program on TV about refugee children. It reminded me of my passion, so I joined a volunteer group.
I went to places with serious health problems. I talked with patients there. I worked with staff from the area and other countries.
Communication was often difficult. With good will and hard work, we managed by using English. English helps me to save lives. I have got back my passion. Now I am ’a doctor without borders’ and use ‘a language without borders’.
Manage(d):どうにかやっていく
Get back:取り返す
Refugee:難民
A Former
I am a rice farmer in Niigata. When I was in school, I thought I would never use English. In Early June of last year, I got an e-mail from a man in Dubai. I didn’t know that he wanted. At first, I asked my daughter to help me with the e-mail. In it, he said, “I compared rice from your fields with other rice. Yours has s special taste. I want rice just from your fields to use in my restaurant.” Now my English is better. I use it every week. I read and write e-mails. English is very important to me and to my family business.
Compare(d):比較する

A University Student
I am studying engineering in Japan. I use both English and Japanese, but for different purposes. In my daily life, I talk to other students and professors in Japanese. It is easy and convenient.
In my professional life, I use English. To get the latest information on engineering, I read a lot of research repots by experts around the world. Almost all of these are written in English. In addition, I want people to know about my research. So I sometimes make presentations at international conferences. English is the language of these conferences even in Japan.
In short, the language I use depends on the situation and purpose. I like having choices. How about you?
