| << In my country, Japan, there are large number of young
people have interests to foreign countries especially English speaking countries
like United States, Canada, U.K, Australia and so on and in fact many of
them study abroad.
I think most of them having motive to studying abroad go
to English speaking country as I say, and there are two reasons for their strong
