      There are three qualities of excellent friends to help you to keep in good friendship. First, a good friend should be around when you are a difficult situation or happy. For example, a good friend can really help you when you are in a difficult situation such as when your car breaks down. Anybody can show good friendship to friends when they have a good environment, but friends can easily change their mind when someone has a hard situation. A good friend is always consistent even though it is not easy. Second, a good friend supports you. They will not gossip when you are not around. For example, a good friend praises you when you are not around. A good friend is not jealous. A good friend believes in you sincerely. A good friend can give correct advice when you make a mistake. Finally, a good friend always makes you feel comfortable. For example, a good friend does not brag. Moreover, a good friend does not ask too much from you. A good friend can try to keep an excellent friendship when you cannot but only if both people do not change.

The Museum Courtyard

                      The Museum Courtyard

           At the museum courtyard, there is a large piece of place that is cozy and peaceful. First, I sit down on the grass of the museum courtyard. The yellow-green grass looks like a carpet, for it feels so soft and comfortable. The aroma is fresh and natural. Moreover, the air is laden with the scent of grass, so my feeling is a little sleepy. Several squirrels are romping on the grass with some black birds while the wind is breathing. Next, I look at the sky that is a clean and soft beautiful blue like the ocean. Some birds are flying in the sky. They look like fish that are swimming. One black bird does not have a good voice and the bird cracks a noisy sound, so my peace is for broken a few seconds. However, I like the black bird. The sun glints shining, so my feeling feels like taking an air shower. At the middle of courtyard there is a small and suitable road way. Someone gets ready for go by bicycle, and he drinks a can of beverage. He smiles. It just looks like a piece of beautiful courtyard painting. It looks good!  At the outside of the small road, some tiny yellow flowers are blooming. My feeling is pleasant, so it makes me smile. The museum courtyard gives me a comfortable and peaceful feeling when I pass through or stay in this place.

 

Japanese’s Arranged Marriage

Japanese’s Arranged Marriage
       
         Some Japanese needs to choose an arrange marriage for three reasons. . The first reason is an arranged marriage makes parents happy. For example, Japanese parents want to meet good family for their son and daughter because most Japanese parents like to keep the family stock. They want a similar mind, environment, and family custom. Also, Japanese parents want to keep their culture. The second reason is an arranged marriage will have better economic advantages. For example, a man or woman can choose easily their wife or husband’s background before marriage. Some people said it so calculated, but marriage is not a dream. It is reality. An arranged marriage is safe for your family’s economic style. The final reason is an arranged marriage is less chance for a divorce. Many people think that an arranged marriage will be unhappy or a love marriage is happy, but it is not a fact. For example, an arranged marriage can make a fresh love more than a love marriage because they usually meet for a short time. Generally, they meet only a few times or for a few months. Therefore they have a feeling fresh. In conclusion, some Japanese have chosen an arranged marriage for a long time because they want to keep their family custom and their safe marriage life.
