However, they result in losing opportunities to make Japanese friends because </span> <span style="font-family:Calibri;">they are busy with par-time job and unaccustomed studying. It makes</span> <span style="font-family:Calibri;"> them</span><span style="font-family:Calibri;"> harder to get in circles and it also </span> <span style="font-family:Calibri;">makes them </span><span style="font-family:Calibri;">have </span> <span style="font-family:Calibri;">fewer</span><span style="font-family:Calibri;"> opportunities to get involved with Japanese students.
