Dear Mr. Ｅ．,
Thank you for your information on the number
of units that your daughter is taking in
the German school.
On the 11th grade, she takes 34 units in
total. The guide-line from Japanese Educational
Office(Monbu-Kagaku-sho) is "around
30 units for each year", so I think
there's no problem for us to take her into
our 12th grade. Please do not worry about
it.
We all hope that she will enjoy the last
part of the school year.
Sincerely,
OYAMA, Kazutomo（Mr.)

Dear Oyama-sensei,
Thank you for your positive feedback, which
has relieved us very much.
We are very close to our decision to send
our daughter to your school and my daughter
would like to visit the school, when we go
to Japan in 3 weeks.
The main purpose of our stay in Japan is
for our son to take the entrance examination
at several schools. We will be in Japan from
30th of
June to 13th or 18th of July (the period
of stay depends on the outcome of the exam).
My daughter would take the exam at your school
on 12th of July, but other days she has in
principle nothing special to do. Then an
idea has come up to us ; maybe she will be
able to attend the class(es) of your school
already in July (as 'experiencing period'
basis = Taiken Nyuugaku). It would be a great
opportunity for her to see the curriculum
in Japanese school. By doing so, she will
be able to prepare herself for the new school
life far better.
Maybe she can attend different types of classes
(literary class and math/scientific class,
and 3rd grade and 2nd grade, if she feels
necessary) and identify which class fits
her best. In that respect, it would be nice,
if she could join each type of class for
2 - 3 days each.
Could you please be so kind to investigate
the possibility of my daughter's attending
the class(es) in July and let me know your
suggestion ?
Thank you very much in advance for your kind
supports to her.
Best regards,
Ｓ．Ｅ．

Dear Mr. Ｅ．,
I think it is a good idea, however, we will
be facing at the end-term examination.
July 1(Tue.): school holiday--- There's
TAIIKUSAI on June 30.
July 8-12(Tue.-Sat.): End-term examination
It means there's rarely possibility to attend
regular lessons for her, even though she
can attend the classes on July 2, 3 and 4.
Is it OK for her one or two days only to
experience
the classes, and in which our students are
a little bit tired and beginning to prepare
for the examination?
Let me recommend her to attend the English-Course and the Math/Scientific-Course
of the 3rd grade, because I think these are the best choices for your daughter. Literary-Course
is arranged mainly for the students who are coping the faculties of Literature,
Law & Politics, Economics, etc. of Private Colleges and Vocational
Schools (Senmon gakko), so I am afraid it is boring some for her.
At any rate, please choose one or two days
for her to attend the classes, if she want,
and contact us before your departure. We
are happy to see her enjoying in our school,
of course.
Sincerely,
OYAMA, Kazutomo (Mr.)

Dear Oyama-Sensei,
Thank you for your feedback to the wish of
my daughter. Yesterday my Daughter wrote
a reply message to you; please find it below.
Best regards

---------------- Reply Message of M．Ｅ．---------------
Dear Oyama-Sensei,
Thank you for your e-mail and your suggestion
for visiting Junshin-Joshi-Gakuen High School
for a couple of days.
I would like to attend all the these courses
on July 2nd, 3rd, and 4th of July, in order
to see the atomosphere of the school and
the levels of each class. I prefer to attend
a science course (3rd grade) with lectures
of maths III, chemistry II, and chemical
experiment, English course (3rd grade) with
oral III and world history and literary course
(3rd
grade) with world history. If it is difficult
to organise 3-day visit, I would visit science-
and English courses on 2 days. Please advise
based on the lecture schedule.
If it is possible, I would like to visit
the school once again the week after for
discussing with you or other teacher(s) in
charge about the detailed curriculum and
also about the entrance examination at niversities
(how I can prepare for it during summer holidays,
which university fits well to me, etc.).
Thank you very much in advance for your kind
support to me.
Looking forwards to seeing you soon in Tokyo.

Dear M．-san,
I am happy to read a message form you directly,
which I hand it to Principal to make him
happy (^o^)\.
There's a teachers-meeting yesterday, and
your 3-days visit was accepted.
But, please give us a few weeks to set
up
a special schedule for you, because we should
check the lecture schedule.
The sudents here are preparing for TAIIKU-SAI,
Sports Festival, which is held on June 30.
What date will you arrive in Tokyo? It
is nice if you can come to TOKYO-TAIIKUKAN
in Sendagaya, in which TAIIKU-SAI is held
10:00a.m.-3:00p.m.
> If it is possible, I would like to visit

Why not....., Hmm......, You don't need to
be in a hurry. It is the most important
for you to watch
your health and settle down your life in
Germany. Please take good care of yourself
and your
family.
Looking forward to seeing you soon,
OYAMA, Kazutomo (Mr.)

Dear Oyama-Sensei,
Thank you for your support to my daughter.
Below please find the second e-mail message
from her.
------------ E Mail of Ｍ．Ｅ．---------------
Dear Oyama-sensei,
Thank you for your e-mail message.
Concerning the 3-day lecture schedule for
me, thank you very much for your kind efforts
for setting up the special schedule for me.
It would be highly appreciated, if you
could
send it to me before our departure from Germany
on 28th of June.
We will arrive in Tokyo on June 29th '03,
therefore I can come and see the "Taiiku-Sai".
Please send me the map of the "Tokyo-Taiikukan",
so that I can reach it without any problem.
I have one Question about the clothes during
my visit at the school. What kinds of clothes
should I wear?
For example:
- blouses/shirts ; can I wear polo shirt
during my 3 day visit (and at sport festival)
? Or should I wear blouses ? How about
the
color ? Can I wear colored shirts/blouses
during the short visit ? Or is it advisable
to wear white shirts/blouses ?
- Trousers or skirts ; can I wear trousers
(no jeans) ? Or shall I wear skirt ? How
about color ?
- Hair style : is there anything I should
take care of the hair style ?
- Bags
Concerning the entrance examination at the
university, I have only a few month ahead
to prepare for it. Thus, I would like to
make the best use of my visit in July. I
do not have so much information/data about
the entrance exam as well as universities
in Japan themselves. Thus, I would like
to
have the discussion on this issue in July,
as the first step. It would also be appreciated,
if I could
get some materials for preparing for the
exam (e.g., how to write the short essays).
I hope I do not bother you so much with my
requests/wishes.
I'm looking forwards to seeing from you soon
in June 30th.

Dear Ｍ．-san,
Are you all right to prepare for the trip
to Japan?
Here is our lesson plan for you. As you
will
attend the classes to experience and know
the atomosphere of the school, you don't
have to attend all of the lessons on the
plan. These lessons are available for you,
then you choose the lessons that you want
to attend, I mean. You can make free time,
of course.
Time table of the school is printed in the
broches which I gave your father last month,
but there's a slight change.
8:15 - 8:25 Short Home Room
8:25 - 9:10 1-jikanme
9:20 - 10:05 2-jikanme
10:15 - 11:00 3-jikanme
11:15 - 12:00 4-jikanme
12:10 - 12:55 5-jikanme
12:55 - 13:40 Lunch & Rest
13:45 - 14:30 6-jikanme
14:40 - 15:25 7-jikanme
15:30 - 13:45 Seisou(Cleaning rooms)
Clothes: Do you have school uiforms in German
schools? If so, the uniforms are best atire.
If not, white blouses and the skirts(Semi-formal,
grey, black or navy color) are recommended.
Hair style: Why don't you send me your current
photo by E-mail attachment? Then, I will
know
exactly you should/shouldn't do
with your
hair style.
Preparing for the entrance Examination, especially
how to write short essays: Here's a message
from Mr. T. N., the chief teacher of English
Division, who has experience a JSL teacher
in Austlaria and Singapore.
---------------------------------------------------------
In order for you to start preparing for essay
writing in Japanese,
you should start it as soon as possible,
although you cannot do
much at this moment. Here is a couple of
things that you should do
while you are in Japan in June and July. Please
purchase a book
called "Nihon-go no Sakubun Gijutsu" by Katsuichi
Honda published
from Asahi Bunko while you are visiting Japan
in June and July,
and read it from Chapter 1 to 4 again and
again by the end of August.
Another thing that you can do is to buy Asahi
newspaper while you
are in Japan and summerize the section called
"Tensei Jingo".
I suggest that you do it at least 10 summaries.
If you have any questions, you can ask me
when you are at Junshin.
I look forward to seeing you soon.
---------------------------------------------------------
TAIIKU-SAI: We welcome you and your family
to the sport festival, of course. Tokyo-Taiikukan
is in front of the JR-station of "Sendagatya",
you can see it from the exit.
I am afraid this mail is too heavy for your
father's mail account to accept (^-^;).
Have a nice trip to Japan!

Dear Mr. Ｅ．,
Could you receive E-mail which I sent to

I hope you can read and understand the lesson
plan(draft) that was attached it. If your
daughter want to attend the classes from
3-jikanme on July 2(Wed.), it is OK that
you bring her here by 10:00a.m.
There's another information. We have some
examination for the domestic-transfered students
on July 9(Wed.). If your daughter does't
mind, we would like to ask her to take the
examination (writing essey & interviews,
only) on the day, because of our convenience.
Please discuss about it with her.

Dear Oyama-Sensei,
Thank you for your e-mail messages to my
daughter and myself.
Yes, I could open and read the lesson schedule
for my daughter.
With regard to the visit on 2nd of July,
I would bring my daughter to you (if I should
bring her to somebody else, please advise)
around 8:15, since she would like to join
the lesson from the beginning.
The entrance exam on 9th of July is OK for
us.
Please tell my daughter when we should come
on 9th during her visit in the first week
of July. It would also be appreciated, when
you could give her the application document
(Nyuugaku-Gansho) in advance.
Thank you again in advance for your kind
support to my daughter.
Looking forward to seeing you soon in Japan.

Dear Oyama-Sensei,
Thank you for you e-mail and lesson schedule
for me. I would like to participate in all
the proposed lessons except for physical
education (since I will not bring the sport
wears with me).
As we don't have any uniform in my school,
I would wear white blouses and black semi-formal
skirt, when I visit the school on 2nd through
4th July.
With regard to the preparetion for the exam,
I would follow the suggestion of N.-Sensei.
I might also meet him during my stay. Please
send my best regards to him.
Concering the hair style, I cannot send you
my photo, since we have no scanner and our
camera is not digital. I don't think, however,
it requires changes, because my hair style
is moderate.
-Not coloured/bleached
-No permanent treatment
-Length: a little bit longer than my shoulder
-Usually I make my hair in pony-tail.
I'm looking forwards to seeing you during
my visit.
