XI. Read and answer
There are now more than two dozen Japanese companies in the northwest of England. Many Japanese families now live there. Kimiko Wood came to Britain as a bride six years ago. “There is much more freedom for women here,” she says. “It is sometimes difficult for Japanese women to adjust,” she says. For Kimiko the change has been difficult. She came to Britain and after a while she discovers that they can have the same kind of freedom in Japan! In Japan it is unusual to see husbands helping with their wives, helping in the house, or baby sitting.
Kimiko’s husband, John, a shipping engineer, happily helps with the children. John says that Japanese husbands will soon adapt in Britain, and seem to relax more with their families. Education is one thing that worries Kimiko. In Japan children go to school six days a week and work much harder than English children. Another complaint is that shops don’t have many clothes for small women!
