At 8 am this morning, I took a bus to the hospital in the next city to mine again. There, I had another wisdom tooth pulled at last. Before the treatment, the doctor said that the dizziness (or simply a strange feeling) that I had suffered from about a month ago wasn't related to this kind of treatment, therefore it could have been from the stressful experiences I had to endure (certainly, at that time I had to endure the very, very hot summer days and also the typhoon).
After that, I got some medicines from a pharmacy near the hospital (I had to wait for mine for about two hours). In addition, I had to struggle with the heat. However, that doesn't mean it hurts. It just had heat. It is too difficult (sensitive?) to tell you because I don't have such precise words to describe this. Anyway, I couldn't feel that I would be able to have a delicious lunch. So I googled when the coming bus would arrive at the bus stop, and found it would be after about an hour and a half.
Therefore, I went to the bookstore to enjoy shopping. I bought some books such as Gabriel Garcia Marquez's "Chronicle of a Death Foretold". On the bus to go back to my town, I read one of them "English Hierarchy". That tells me how a trial to do English-only lectures (there, basically they don't allow using Japanese) for bringing up so-called "global people" in various situations such as at universities (in this book, that is called "EMI [English Medium Instruction]") can afford them traumatic memories/experiences, which lead them to lose their self-esteem and also even make their identities confused.
Through those EMI, they should face how their skills are not good enough to follow those lectures. And this book tells us for young students it can bring a so-called identity crisis, and also hurt their pride so deeply. Also, they can't bring their "Japanese" skills up. Therefore, the result shows their serious lack of pride and identity.
It is a very great book, therefore I want to share this one with other friends as a sort of presentation someday. TBH, I have never had any confidence in my English skills. Certainly, some friends praise my English as "great", but about this, I shouldn't try to look down on someone else from this "hierarchy". How can we bring our self-esteem steadily, eventually with pleasure? Or, that's just a daydream?
