In another life, would you like to be a man or a woman?（in another life：生まれ変わったら）

What is your strength?


Well, I think I have the power of concentration.
For example, even when I am in a noisy environment such as a place
where so many children are playing with the sound of high-pitched screaming,
I can study without any embarrassment for at least two hours.
All the while, the disturbing noise is not bothering me or can hardly be heard.

Do you think it is healthy to eat three meals a day?
Why or why not?


Well, actually I usually eat two meals a day and occasionally three meals a day.
Even so I don't think I'm in ill health.
But probably it's true that breakfast is important for good health.
Because it's the first meal of the day and we need to take in a minimum amount of energy
to start either brain work or physical work.

INTERVIEW（２６）

Do you agree or disagree with the following statement?
Boys and girls should attend separate schools.
Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.


I disagree with the statement for two reasons.
Firstly, boys and girls should attend the same schools to cultivate the ability to adapt to society,
where men and women always exist and work together.
It's beneficial to learn how to understand, respect and become supportive to each other through formal school education.
Secondly, the presence of the opposite sex helps to maintain a certain level of morals at school.
For example, while taking classes when it's hot, coeducational school boys do not strip to the waist.
Or coeducational school girls do not flip up their own skirts to fan between their legs.
