Food Problems in Japan

     One of Japan's biggest problems is the food problem. Japan's food self-sufficiency rate is less than 40%. Japan is aging with a declining birthrate, and the food self-sufficiency rate is expected to decline more and more in the future.

     Currently, Japan imports a large amount of food from overseas. However, on Earth, food shortages have become more serious due to explosive population growth, and it is said that one in 10 people on earth are starving. As a result, other countries will not be able to afford to import food into Japan, and there is a possibility that food shortages will eventually become serious in Japan.

     To solve this problem, it is necessary to reduce food loss and waste. In Japan, food loss and waste have resulted in an annual loss of 100 billion yen. By reducing food loss and waste for each person, the current situation can be greatly improved.

My Travel in Kyoto

 Hi. I'll introduce about my travel. I went to Kyoto when I was Junior high school student. Kyoto used to be the capital of Japan, so there are many historical buildings in Kyoto. For example, Kinkakuji temple, Nijo castle, and so on. Kinkakuji temple was build by Yoshimitsu Ashikaga.　It's original name is called "Rokuon-ji" . This was rebuilt two times in 1694 and 1950. First time, this was burnt down by a war called "Onin no Ran" . Second time, this was burnt down by arson. Kinkakuji temple is made from 3 floors. The second and third floor is covered with gold, so it is called "kinkaku-ji".          Nijo castle was build in 1603 by Ieyasu Tokugawa of the Edo general to protect the kyoto imperial Palace and to seave as a place to stay when the general came to Kyoto.　In 1867, Yoshinobu Tokugawa repatriated the Imperial Government　　　　　 called "Taisei Hokan" .

The princess? and the Pea

     Today I listened to "The princess? and the Pea".   They talked about "The princess? and the Pea". This story was talked by the woman named Pearline. "Pearline" is mean to pearl. This story tells a princess sleeping on peas.  A woman claiming to be a princess visited a man. He was so　surprised, but delighted. He said he needed a heir. "Heir" is　the person who inherits.  He did a test to make sure she was really princess. The test is to go to bet made of peas! He said, "There’s nothing suspicious about that." 　"Suspicious" means shady.

Seahorse

      Today I'll talk about Seahorse. They live shallow seas from the tropics to temperate zones. Little is known, but they are a kind of fish. It doesn't look like a fish at all, does it?　They inhale and prey on small zooplankton and vents, such as fish eggs, small fish and crustaceans. Although their movements are slow, the predation is fast, slowly bringing the proboscis slowly closer to the bait and inhaling momentarily.       Their ecology can be enjoyed in the aquarium.　If the corona passes, please go there.
