Happy graduation

Tomorrow my daughter will be graduated from a junior high school.
I'm glad, she is the youngest child of me. I've finished the obligation of my children's compulsory education. Also I'm glad she has grown up to be a person of firm character.
Next week she will take an entrance examination of high school. I'm hardly anxious about it. The number of applicant of the school she wants to go is lower than the fixed number. If she won't catch a cold or have anything unexpected trouble, she would do well.
Perhaps the examiners are nervous about forbiding the examinees to bring their cell phones. Recently the topic of social cheating by cell phone and "Q&A website" is popular. I think if a school authority wants to avoid such a social cheating, they must prepare some examination wears like the clothes you ware at a medical check.
It should be great bother to both examiner and examinee.

By the way I borrowed an interesting book. "J-literature" by Robert Cambell. Though I've never seen the TV program, this book is based the TV program.
Ｉ've heard it is on air in early morning.
You can read various Japanese literature, classic and modern, in Japanese and in English.
I recommend this book. Read this book, and you can enjoy the kind summary and explanation.
I decided to watch the TV program as early as I can.

　明日　娘が中学を卒業します。
　とても嬉しいです。一番下の子なのでこれで私の子どもに必修教育を受けさせる義務は終わりです。それにしっかり者に育ったので嬉しいです。
　来週　高校入試です。ぜんぜん心配していません。娘が行きたい高校は定員割れです。かぜをひくとか何か予期せぬことが起きないかぎりうまくやるでしょう。
　おそらく関係者は携帯電話の持ち込みを用心しているでしょう。最近、携帯電話と質問ウエブサイトを使ったカンニングが話題です。もし、学校側がそうしたカンニングを避けたいなら、人間ドッグのときみたいな検査服が必要だと思います。検査する側もされる側も面倒ですが。

ところでおもしろい本を借りました。『Ｊブンガク』　ロバート・キャンベル編　です。私は見たことはありませんが、テレビ番組から生まれた本です。早朝やっているとか。
この本で、古典、現代のさまざまな日本文学読めます、日本語と英語で。
おすすめです。読むと親切な要約と解説がのっています。
なるべく早くそのテレビ番組を見ようと思います。
