On Parting Love

True love endures, if not, then it was never true. <unknown>

A parting entails an occasional courage to a romantic. Nevertheless, do not regret the result. Since you had no other choice but to part from the woman, there was no more than true love at any rate. It is only postponed in future; true love must ever be there. Take, the love you hold so far to your children. It will never cease yet after the parting. So now pay the price of discipline; you shall carry on. You took how you live. Cherish another love; I do with all my body and soul to see if I have one. Winners never quit, quitters never win, they say. ao

VOICE: DO YOU TEAL?

The issue of taxonomy is a controversy in the pedagogical field of English education. Although the English Education is the most prevailing (administrative) term in Japan, there are many other accepted terms such as TESOL, TEFL, TESL, ESL, ESOL. Among them, the most general term seems to be TESOL. This preference attributes to the choice of "Speaker of Other Language." However, as a decidedly non-native speaker of English, I don't quite understand why people regard "Other" acceptable and "Second" non-acceptable, since both have left the nuance of alienation by English-centrism. In my opinion, the European people's choice of the term is much fairer and smarter than the American's; they prefer to use "Additional." This sounds nice to us, although very much unfamiliar yet, when the additional reminds us of learners' (even teachers') first language. So why not use Teaching English as an Additional Language ("TEAL").
