This won't make much sense to about three-quarters of my readership, but I figured I would post it anyway. This is my first ever entry using Japanese. So, enjoy, I guess.
What follows is the letter I am giving to the principal and vice principal tomorrow, about my hair.
-
私の髪について、このお手紙を書かしてもらいました。私はアメリカ人ですので、この文章は間違いがあると思いますが。
私の髪型は教師としては、おかしいかもしれません。しかし、この髪型のおかけで、学生は私に積極的に「どうやってその髪を作ったの」など、たずねてくれます。また、日本語で話しかけてくる学生も「日本語はだめ」と言うと英語で話そうと努力してくれます。
また、私はインターンの面接を二回しましたがその時には、髪について何も言われませんでしたし、日本に来た、３ヶ月たった今髪の事を言われるのは少しおかしいと思います。そして、何より私は自分の髪型が大好きです。
もう一度考えていただけませんでしょうか。
So there is is. I'm to lazy to translate it right now, but it's short, sweet, and will hopefully earn me a few points since it's all in Japanese and I wrote it out by hand, kanji included. I really hope it works. This is my last chance to save my hair.
Wish me luck.
I think it's almost perfect. It's really well-written. If I dare say there's a few mistakes though, they're like below:
勘違い: In this context, it's better to be said like 間違い.
積局的: 積極的; you can input "Sekkyokuteki（せっきょくてき）" at once, and then just convert it into Japanese.
Anyway, there's no doesn't-make-sence part in it. Don't worry.
I assume that you have a hard time with your school now; though if you'll take this time, you'll definitely gain something more than you used to have.
I suppose that this attempt at insisting in Japanese to the principal on a paper is very good idea. They will appreciate your effort. They must.
Good Luck
