Culture through English A: Example of family history・家族史の例え

Hello!

How are you? Today, I have for you a video from a Japanese TV program you may know about family histories. 

On this video, a Canadian man who had a mother who was half-Dutch and half-Japanese has come to Japan to track his family origins. What he has found surprised him greatly. 

Activity/homework
Watch the video. As most of it is in Japanese, it would be no problem to follow it, though the Canadian man speaks English. 



What do you think of this man's story about his family? Watch the video, then free write your views about it. Write as much as you can - but don't worry about spelling or grammar. You do not need to download the video - just watch it here on your computer or smartphone.

When you are finished, upload your document (or a clear picture of your handwritten work on notebook paper) to Manaba. Name your document or picture file like this, with your own name (here is an example):

I hope you find this interesting!
