Describe a memorable conversation you had with someone and explain why it was important to you.
I changed my job two yeas ago.
Before I left my job, I talked with my boss and he said that things people don't want to do make a new task so most of tasks were boring.
The word he said is very important because when I work, I feel bored and my motivation is getting low many times. But I remember the word and then I focus my attintion to the task.
The reason why I can earn money is that I work on the things which other people don't want to do.
Now that,  it is one of my important mind set.
So this is a  memorable conversation.

Discuss an adventurous activity you would like to try in the future.
I would like to try skydiving for two reasons. Firstly, I believe that trying it would make me confront the fear of potentially facing death as I jump from a high altitude. Overcoming this fear would lead to personal growth and a transformative experience. Secondly, I am fascinated by the view from the sky. I anticipate it would be an amazing and breathtaking sight.
So I try skydiving in the future.

【メモ】
高さはfeet ではなくaltitude
自分にとって貴重な経験：transformative experience
きれいな景色はbreathtaking sight
思うはthinkではなく予想であればanticipateやpredict. 期待しているならexpectとか使うようにする。

Describe a book or movie that influenced your way of thinking and explain why it was significant to you.
The book taught me what happiness means in my life. When I read this book, I had just graduated from university and started working as an employee. I found myself without friends around me, unlike when I was a university student, which made me feel lonely. I was confused about what happiness meant to me. I didn't have a girlfriend and I wasn't enjoying my life, while my friends appeared so happy on Instagram. I kept wondering why I wasn't enjoying my life. What was enjoyable for me? To make matters worse, I always compared my life with that of my friends. However, this book taught me that there is no single answer to what happiness is. We all have different senses and values, so comparing myself to others is wrong. Instead, you should seek what makes your own life enjoyable. After embracing this way of thinking, my life changed

【メモ】
what A means in my life. Aが意味するもの。
気づく：I find myself
confuse about : 悩む、wonderもあり。
meant : meanのpast tense
解は一つでないことを強調する表現： no single answer to A
「でも」と言いたいときはbutだけでなくHowever使う。

・Do you think certain types of games are better for children than others?
Yes I do. In my opion, borad games such as chess, reversi are bette for children than other games like video games.
When they play board games, they have to think logically to win.
So the more they play them, the more their skill of solving problems is improving.

・If you had kids, would you try to limit the amount of time they spend gaming ?
If I had kids, I would try to limit the amout of time they spend gaming.
I think playing video games too much has big impact on their development, for example. lack of sleeping time and lack of their concentration of other things.

In my opinion, gyms are not photo studio or movie studio but training place.
If people want to take their photos or movies, they should use personal training.
So, I think it is correct.

Yes, I do and Yes it does.
The rule is  if we are taking photos or movies, they don't include other people.
Because it causes some troubles.

What are your thoughts on Japan falling to its lowest ever position on the EPI?
The result of the EPI is the same as what I thought.
In my opinion, especially english classes, Japanese teaching style is so bad.

Do you think English proficiency in Japan will continue to drop?
I think it will continue to drop.
Because many people misunderstand that getting high score at tests is more important than speking english well in Japan.
It will continue to drop unless we change our thought.

Is there anything you'd like to change about the way English is taught in schools in your country?
Yes, there  is.
I think it is nessecary to assign native english speakers at English classes, because when a japanese teacher is assigned, students can use japanese for example, asking their teacher about what they don't understand.
Being able to use Japanese in English classes robs the students of the oppotunities to practice English.
Continueing this leads to a declining english level of Japan.

What are your thoughts on Joby's first successful test flight in New York?
It's a great thing.
Especiaaly, I was surprised at the quieteness of the aircraft.
This article said the sound of the aircraft is quietter than our conversation.
I unbelievable.

Do you think electric air taxis will become a common sight in the future?
ならない。空の交通ルールを作成することはとても難しく時間がかかる。色々考える必要があるから。例えばどうやって標識を作るのかなど。
また我々がルールを覚えるのに時間がかかる。
I think it will not become a common sight in the future.
It is very difficult to make rules in the sky and it takes long time to make them, because we are nessecary to think about many things before making them, for example, how we develop a traffic sign in the sky.
It also takes a long time for us to learn them.

Were you surprised that the air taxi might only cost as much as a ride-share trip?
うん。驚いた。だってヘリコプターや飛行機は燃料代がすごく高いイメージがあるから。車と比べて。
電気はすごいね。
Yes, I was surprised. Because the cost of a hericopter and a plane is very expensive compared to a car's.
The power of electricity is amazing.
