Blog #5 Lovely bill


Hi everyone, this is Airi.

 If national holiday hits Saturday, it means that we lost a precious holiday. But it might be changed.
 On July 4, the government, the Democratic Party of Japan announced that they think about a new bill about holiday. Now, it's national holiday hits Sunday, next Monday turn to be a holyday and if the bill passed, we can have another holiday in case of Saturday one.

Wow that's cool isn't it?! Did you think like that? Of course I did. But it includes some problems:  the number of classes will decrease because of increasing holidays and if they set Monday for makeup holiday, Monday will become almost the day of rest. And we can say same thing about companies, so the government think that make Friday for makeup holiday. 

 I think this idea about holiday is good for us. Because many Japanese should have more rest and it will affect good for the tourist industry, then society will become more active! Increasing holidays is good thing for travel or go out somewhere.
 Did you know that news and what do you think?

  1. Hi, this is Asami. Thank you for telling me about this news! Wow, it’s fantastic! We can do lots of things if we have 3 days holiday. However, the problem of decreasing class is hard task to solve it. I wish that we could have a makeup holiday to a day which is not Monday…
