Wealth and poverty

hi! I've just finished Scott's class now. Today, we learned about wealth and poverty in his class. I knew there is a big gap between rich country and poor county, but I didn't know the real situation of poor countries. And I was very shocked to take today's class. I learened there are many people who live $1 aday. I can't imagine such life. I was really shocked to know 24,000 people die in a day. I live in a rich country, Japan. I take granted that I can go to school, eat what I want to eat and live safe. I often said "I'm hungry..." even after I finished eatign the meal. But my life isn't normal. As I learned in the class of outside, most of the epople in the world are not rich. And many of them have a problem to live. Not only the gap of wealth and poverty in each country, there is a gap in one country. My chinese friend said there is a big gap between the rich and the poor. Some rich people live very high living in there, but on the other hand there are the people who live very poor and many people can't go to school in the rural area of china. I feel education is very important. I think they want to change their bad situation, but they don't know how to change, because they can't take education. Because of the poor, children can't go to school and because of this, many people cant get a good job, because of this, people can't earn enough money(poor) . it's a very vicious circle. The people who live in rich country have a good education and I think if they work together, we can change something bettter. As a person who live in rich country, I want to do something, but to tell the truth, I don't know what can I do. I feel it's not sure if the money we donate go directly to the poor people. But I want to begin the little thing I can do in my daily life. I'll think what can I do and begin with little thing. i think if many people think about this, world might be change little to the place where more and more people can live peacefully.

what is my goal for IES this semester?

From last Monday, new semester started. I'm worry about it. Because I think it will be very busy and hard. But I want to learn many things in IES class in this semester as well as last year. I want to learn a lot of things positively and I want to be the person who don't afraid the making mistakes. I want to think by myself and have my opinin about things. I'll try to increase my vocabulary and I want to read books faster. I'm not good at doing presentations. So I want to improve my speaking skills.
In this semester, we will use internet a lot. So I want to use internet well.
I think I will have to study hard this semester, so I'll do my best.
