Family

What is a definition of family?
There are a great variety of lifestyles. For example, traditional nuclear and extended families, unmarried couples, single-parent families, "blended" families, and so on.
In prewar days, there were a lot of extended families. But,Now, nuclear families are most general. It is said that this situation influence a declining number of children. In extended families, there are many people, a grandmother, father, a cosin, sister, brother, and so on. They help each other. So, husband and wife can have many children.
The existence of familis is very thankful. They always help me. In the future, even if I get married, I want to live near my parents and help each other.

A GUN

Yesterday, a man fire a gun at a sport club institution. His name is Magome Masayosi. Then, a woman who is instructor and a man were killed. The man have known each other since they were junior high students.
Surprisingly, Sasebo police station allow Magome to have a gun. Now, we can have a gun if our purpose of the gun is killing harmful animals or sport. It is dangerous that police do not check whether the person who have a gun use it properly or not. But, the action is connected with an invasion of a person's privacy.
I think the measures to deal with this problem are necessary. For example, an institution manage guns.

the best-before period

Recently, the trouble that a store sold food which is over the best-before period is increasing.
They say "I thought it is O.K if customers eat this. "
Now, I have a part time job at a convenience store Seven-eleven.
When I meke "Oden", I put vegetables and meats which are processed into a pot. I have to check the best-before period. But, I always think "If I sell foods that are over the best-before period, customers are sure not to notice. Because, I can bring back these foods to home. Then, I eat them everyday. There are no trouble.
But, new foods are more delicious than these old one. So, I think it is bad to sell old foods. Stores must keep the confidence in customers.
It is most inportant not to make too much foods to decrease foods that connot be sold.
