Hi.
Could you correct my English?


An Evidence of Poverty?

Several days ago, one of Japanese TV news programs said that some American people were proposing hanging out laundry to dry in the sun. At first I didn’t understand what the point because most Japanese people hang out the clothes except people who don’t have a balcony or a yard to hang things.
The news reader continued that hanging laundry is an evidence of poverty in the US, so some people protest against hanging the washing out to dry; they don’t like their town to seem to be poor.
I was shocked to hear this. We’ve been hanging the laundry out. We believe that using a dryer is a waste of electricity. Nobody protest against what we do. We have a drying tumbler, and we use it when it’s not fine.
So then, when American people come to Japan, most of us seem to be poverty people to you? Do I seem to be very poor?

Thank you.

Hello, I may not understand English very well and I may lack words but I will try to understand you.

If you have questions about my post or Japanese customs, don't hesitate to ask.
