Fourth essay about 「English
and I」was written by Yutaka Sado. He is one of
famous conductor in Japan. In 2011, he conducted in Berlin Philharmonic
Orchestra. And he will be a musical director in Tonkünstler Orchestra 2015.
Maybe he will be as famous as Seiji Ozawa.
Seiji Ozawa became a musical director in Boston Symphony Orchestra, when he was 38 years old. He was also a musical director in Wiener Staatsoper from 2002 to 2003, from 2009 to 2010.
The tittle of essay is 「Dolce Please」At first, Yutaka Sado wrote a story that he was an university student in Kyoto City University of Arts. Then, he was not good student. And he had a crisis to graduate from university, because his English grade was so bad. But, his English teacher made him pass another examination.
The exam was only that the teacher asked
him ‘did you study English for this exam?’ He answered ‘Yes’ with a feeble
voice. Then, the teacher said to him ‘OK, and you can go back to your home’ he
could not understand the teacher’s saying. And the teacher also said to him ‘But
I have one thing to tell you. It is that I want you to love English like music
someday. And I think that you will need English. If you can understand these
things, it is enough for you. Good Luck for your future’
When I read this story, I felt strong
emotion like him. And later, he had a time to use English soon. Because he
became a pupil of Leonard Bernstein. Now he can talk with many friends and
workmates to use Italy, German, French and English in case by case.
And
he can enjoy using Foreign languages from the day of another exam. Because he
thinks that languages is very important for us to unit between people and
people.
In my case, November 4 was my birthday. Then
many foreign friends congratulate my birthday over 40 countries. Then I tried
to say ‘Thank you’ in their language. It was hard for me to say. But I also
enjoy to use many language like him.
Happy Birthday!
