* I will use the World Wide Web.

*I will interview a Japanese researcher of senior care system. She lives in Japan so we will talk by telephone. I will do it at the last time of my research because she knows many things about senior care system and we can talk in Japanese. If I talk to her at the beginning of the research, it will be easy for me to research but it is not a good way to improve my academic research skills.
