SEIZENSETSU OR SEIAKUSETSU?
Do you think humans are born
good or evil? An ancient Chinese
thinker, Mencius (Moushi) believed in
the goodness of human nature, while
Xunzi (Junshi) said humans were born
evil, so they should be disciplined. I’m
sure many more people have come to
believe in the goodwill of humans,
thanks to the heartwarming “Tiger
Mask” movement. I have believed that
most people are good-natured for
many years. I’ll tell you why.
It was about 20 years ago, when
cell phones were not so popular. I did
not have one, so I often used
telephone booths. One day I was
driving with my friend on an express
way and entered the service area to
buy some souvenirs. I didn’t find
anything good, so I gave up shopping
and began to drive again. When I tried
to pay at the toll gate, I found my
wallet was not in my bag. My friend
paid for the toll, but I was in a state of
panic. When I came home, I searched
in my car only to find I had really lost
my wallet.
I wondered. I didn’t buy anything
at the service area, so I couldn’t have
taken out my wallet then. When did I
open my handbag? Suddenly I
remembered I had opened it in the
telephone booth. I didn’t think I had
left it there, but I called the service
area. The clerk said, “I’ve got a wallet
in lost property, but now it is in the
police station.” I phoned the police

and managed to get back my wallet
safely, although I had to go through a
lot of procedures.
Some years later, I had a similar
experience. How careless I am! I went
shopping in the department store and
when I came back home, I found I had
lost my handbag, which should have
been in my car. I was sure I had it
when I got into my car in the car park,
because if I hadn’t had my bag, I
would not have had my car key with
me. I wondered if I might have
dropped it when I closed the door of
the car. I went back to the car park
and looked around there. A car park
attendant came up to me and said,
“Are you looking for something?” I
replied, “Yes, I may have dropped my
bag around here.” He asked me to
describe it, and finally I got back my
bag. I offered him a finder’s reward,
but he wouldn’t accept it.
I always thought lost property
could not be returned. So when I had
the first experience at the service area,
I thought it was a rare case, a kind of
miracle. However, I had got back my
lost handbag again, and I felt
ashamed that I had not believed in the
goodness of people. Almost all people
are good-natured! Now I can tell you,
“Don’t worry, if you lose something. It
will return to you,” though you should
not be as careless as I. (503 words)

KARYO WEEKLY
WE HAVE COME SO FAR
Karyo Weekly has been published
since April, 2003, so it is almost eight
years old. During the first three years
after birth, only 50 copies were
printed every week. Since April, 2006,
however, every one of you has been
receiving a copy so that you can take
it home and read.
Some of you don’t like this,
because they find Karyo Weekly too
difficult. However, on January 20, I
listened to a speech that tells us why it
is important to keep on reading Karyo
Weekly. It is with great pleasure that I
share with you in our No. 300 issue
the following lovely speech presented
by our senior student Yuho Shiokawa.
–By Wiseman Plumfield
GRADUATION SPEECH
Time has gone so fast. I just
cannot believe that our lovely Karyo
school life is coming to an end. It was
difficult for me to think of just one
topic for today’s speech, because
there are so many memories that I
can’t count them all. But, I really want
to thank Karyo for giving me a lot of
opportunities to use English.
I can say that all of my English
skills in grammar, vocabulary,
listening and reading absolutely
improved compared with when I was a
first-year student. Though there ar6
3-64e many reasons for this, one
of them is Karyo Weekly.
Everyone, can you imagine how

many articles you have read so far?
Look at this!! This is how many we
have read. I looked through some of
the articles, and I remembered my
dear school days. There are some
people who are no longer at Karyo:
Brett, Meen, Heidie, Chris, Sarah, Ms.
Hashimoto, and Mr. Yoshihiko Yamada,
for example. We met many English
teachers, ALTs and exchange students.
I guess this wouldn’t have happened if
I were not a student at Karyo. To tell
the truth, when I was a first-year
student, I thought it was too difficult
for me to read one article every week.
Of course, now I don’t think so. I can
read smoothly. In addition to
improving our English, the contents of
Karyo Weekly are interesting and
fascinating. For example, we get to
read ALTs’ travel stories, advice on
how to study English, exchange
students’ stories, and Mr. Kataoka’s
family series.
Are there any books that tell you
such stories? I think there is no other
English book like Karyo Weekly. So,
let’s read the last few articles, and
please also look back at the articles we
have read so far.
I’m going to keep on studying
English at university. Because of Karyo,
I love English, and I’d like to study it
more and more. Karyo is the first step
of my English life. We have just one
month left, but let’s enjoy our last
school days with English!!!

A LETTER TO MYSELF
IN THE FUTURE
Are you still playing the violin?
I strongly hope that you are when
you read this letter. Do you remember
your history of playing the violin?
When you were three years old,
you took a small violin called ‘1/16
violin’ for the first time. You had to
practice the violin with your mother
every day, and you were always
scolded. You thought, “Mom is a scary
demon!” and you said, “My hands will
fall off!” while you played the violin.
You didn’t play the violin well at first,
but it has grown on you. When you
were nine years old, you entered your
first contest: The Contest for Students
in Yamaguchi. It was at that contest
that you got first prize and started
thinking, “I want to do my best in the
future!” Then you participated in
contests every year, sometimes going
on to national conventions. When you
became a high school student, you got
busier than ever. You had to not only
play the violin but also study. You were
always sleepy. Do you remember that
you sometimes slept on the floor,
leaving your violin, made in Italy in
1654, thrown on the floor? The floor
was comfortable and cold in the
summer, but it was too cold in the
winter. Either way, you hurt your back
the next day…
You have various memories of
playing the violin. You were
sometimes lazy, not letting your

FREE
mother see you practice, but there
were more times that you did your
best and practiced violin. I hope you
will continue playing the violin until
you die and do not waste all of your
hard work!
Can I carry on? I think you should
open your mind widely. When you
were just a girl in the spring of life,
you were a little selfish. Sometimes
your expectations were too high for
you to succeed. Do you remember
how high your ideals were? For
example, when you were sixteen, your
ideal boyfriend had to be gentle, clever,
compatible with you, taller than you, a
little cool, funny, play sports, play the
piano, a good mood maker… Do you
think that this person exists on the
earth? I was told, “That person never
exists!” or “If you have too high
expectations, you will never marry!” I
appreciate these opinions.
I think having high ideals is
important but if they are too high, you
can’t feel a sense of achievement. But,
on the other hand, too high ideals may
be just good for you… You idled and
changed into a sloth during long
vacations every year when you were a
student. You also need to repay your
parents, who have spent a lot more
money on you than on your four
brothers and sisters. So, you’d better
stop sleeping on the floor and try not
to catch cold. You may want to earn a
lot of money.
