Literary Work (final)

ワイトさん は アメリカ人です。そして、今コロンビア大学の学生です。ワイトさん は 日本の文化が とても 好きですから、去年の春東京へ 行きました。
 
東京 は とても 大きく ないですが、にぎやか でした。浅草寺 は 古くないですが、すでき でした。あそこの 桜 は も 綺麗でした。 多くの人 は お花見に いきました。午後、ワイトさん は 疲れくないです、そして 腹が すきました から、東京チカめし で 食事しました。東京チカラめし は 有名な レストラ でした。あそこの 食べ物 は おいし くないです。


それから、ワイトさん も 東京タワー へ 行きました。東京タワー は 高くないです。冬、東京タワー で ダイヤモンド富士 を 見ます。富士山 は 日本で 一番 有名な山 です、そして 一番 たかいです。


それから、ワイトさん は 秋葉原ガチャポン会館 で 買い物しました。あの店 は 高くないですが、ものは よくないです。

 
Rationales:
 
I wrote the trip story in Tokyo for two reasons. First of all, I wanted to write a tour guide for myself and for anyone who wants to travel there. It is a really amazing place. Secondly, I want to illustrate that Katakana is frequently used by Japanese people even if it is unnecessary to use it. It is more like a fashion than a necessity.
 
Katakana word list:
 
ワイトさん Mr. White
 
アメリカ人   American
 
コロンビア大学   Columbia University
 
東京チカめし   A famous restaurant in Tokyo
 
レストラ Restaurant
 
東京タワー    Tokyo Tower. it is the second-tallest artificial structure in Japan, painted white
and red and international orange to comply with air safety regulations.
 
ダイヤモンド富士 Diamond Fuji (Mountain). "Diamond Fuji" is the name given to the setting sun meeting the the Summit of Mt. Fuji. This spectable is visible from many places in Japan in certain times of a year. The Tokyo Tower is one of the places.

ガチャポン会館   It is a comic store in 秋葉原, which is famous for comics shops and electronics shops.

  1. here is my self promotion to Amy, who is the CEO of Amy Icecream Inc.
    (i think you already know what i did)

    Self Promotion to Amy

    I’m Hajime Tagawa, and I’m majoring in International Business Administration at Ristumeikan University.
    This is my paperbag. These are postcards of different countries. I bought them when I took a trip to each country.
    Although, I’ve visited some countries, but I’ve never been to America, so I didn’t know about Amy’s Ice-cream, but when I watched the DVD program about Amy’s Ice-cream, I was really impressed with your marketing strategies. It’s so unique, creative, and fun. I would love to work for your company, because I’d like to work in a creative workplace to accomplish something special. I’m sure Amy’s Ice-cream is the best company to achieve my goal. That’s why I applied to your company. And also, I am a hard-working, creative man, so I believe I am the perfect candidate for your company. If you hire me, I’ll promise to dedicate myself to your company. In addition to that, I am an eco-friendly man. If your company concentrates on eco-activities, I can contribute your company.
    Today, I’d like to suggest my business idea to Amy’s Ice-cream. I suggest Amy’s Ice-cream to come to Japan and the first store should be located in Osaka, of course Tokyo is the biggest city in Japan but these are already full of stores so I recommend the second biggest city, Osaka, because there are lots of fun, unique and creative people in Osaka. I’m sure they can help implement your creative strategies and show perfect performances.
    Here is one of my business suggestions. Thank you for listening, and I hope you will make a good decision.

    1. Tagawa-san,

      I am so sorry for the late reply. I was too busy with my exams and papers in the past weeks.

      I think you suggestion that the company start from Osaka is great. But you may talk more about your artwork- the postcards, although I am not sure what the paper bag is for... You may talk about why you did this artwork, the process in which you made it. etc. Another piece of advice is to avoid vocabulary such as "I’ll promise to" or "I’m sure they can help..." since you do not really know that the result could be.

      Best,
      Yiyun
