Hello!
How are you? Here is a special post to go with our 6th writing assignment (作文6) - your opinions about refugees (難民) and what they need for immigration (移住).
If you want to refresh yourself about the 6th writing assignment, click on this link to check it.
Support & preparation (準備)
If you choose to write about this topic, here is some support for you.
I've chosen this topic as one thing you can do because Japan lets in very few refugees, but because the Japanese population is getting older, greater refugee admission may be one thing the Japanese government will have to look at in the near future to keep up the working population.
Video 1:
Refugees have many problems, and many things they need. Watch this video. It's mostly in English, but with Japanese subtitles (日本語の字幕).
Watch the video as many times as you need to. When you are finished, answer these questions in your notebook about the different parts of the video (you can make notes in English or Japanese).
You do not have to show me these notes - they are for you, to get more of a background about the topic and sense of what the issue is.
日本のメッセージ
1. What did the first woman say about coming to Australia as a refugee?
2. What did the second woman say about communication between the government (政府) and refugees?
シンポジウムから待たヒント
What did Ishii-san say about the two women's refugee stories?
日本にできること
What did Moriya-sensei from Hokkaido Educational University (北海道教育大学) say about the needs of refugees?
長野県松本市の取り組み
What did Takizawa-sensei from Toyo Eiwa Women's University graduate school (東洋英和女学院大学大学院) say about help for refugees in Matsumoto city in Nagano (長野県松本市)?
求められる視点
What did Daniel Alkhal (ダニエル・アルカル ) from the UNHCR (国連難民高等弁務官事務所) say about the three different steps of support refugees need?
Make these notes in your notebook. You can make these notes in Japanese or English.
Video 2:
Now here is another video, but this time with no questions. It's also a TV Tokyo report, about refugees from Burma (Myanmar) who are now living and working in Tokyo as nail artists.
This may also give you some more background about what some refugees who have re-settled in Japan are able to do.
Task
Now look at your notes and write 3-4 paragraphs about what you think of refugees and their needs, especially in coming to Japan.
If you believe that refugees should not come to Japan, give your reasons why.
I know this is a deeper topic than what some of you have done before - so as I say in my blogposts about hikikomori and our 6th writing assignment, I can give some extra points to you for trying for this topic.
Good luck! I look forward to reading your great writing about this issue if you choose to write about it.
Take care!
