English Letters and Japanese Letters






The first English book my mother bought for me was “Alice in Wonderland” and it shown me some significant differences between English book and Japanese book: The novels in Japanese normally start from the top of right side pages and go down, then proceed to the left. Besides, there is almost no space between the letters before punctuation marks. When I was a child and didn’t know how to read English at all, such words in the English book looked like the accumulation of bricks.
