  movie review: †itanic

  Posted: January 14th, 2010, 11:34am PST

  I am just talking about most my favorite movie. It's “Titanic”. Have you ever seen this movie? Of course, you know this wonderful movie. This is an effectively story when in 1991 happened and it was productioned in 1997. Direction is a James Cameron. He has ever productioned “Terminator” in 1991 and　“Aliens”in 1986. So I like him very much. When he production new movie, I always watch it. The so called James Cameron otaku. This movie is a most very grieve love story that I have ever seen of his movie. The main character of this story are Jack Dawson (Leonard Dicaprio) and Rose Dewitt (Kate Wirslet ). Both Jack and Rose is great actor. In this story, they met in luxurious ship and fall in love with each other. By degrees their love is flame up. But their ending of love is not happy. Jack is a very poor but he has great hot heart and he is also brave and manly. He could make Rose happy only few minutes. She also too. Her life became great career through his help. If she did not help by Jack……. If she did not meet with him……her life will be not. I favorite scene is a last scene. In the sea Jack says arose “Hold on just a little bit longer.”I am always moved to tears. I am bowed by grief. But this movie is always making me happy. Please watch “Titanic”!!

  Thanks

  Posted: January 14th, 2010, 11:30am PST

  This semester, I learned many things in this writing class. For example, how to write sentence and how to use paragraph and so on. First, I didn’t know how to write them in to the sentence. I have been studied English. Grammar, Listening, Speaking, Reading, of course Writing. But I couldn’t typing very much.
  
  Typing is very difficult for me. Writing Japanese was even difficult for me and I couldn’t use English very well. But, this semester , I write many many sentence and tried how to write sentence. So, I can became typing first than before and I learn English is good and happy language. Also, I could use computer.
  
  I think that I could get some computer skill in this Writing class. First, I couldn’t use computer very well. But this class, I must made blog and write in it about many things. For example, if I did typing home work, I sent it for Mr. Tomei. It’s not easy for me. But thanks to it, I could use the computer and typing little first better than before. I can enjoy my blog.
  
  This writing class, I could learn about writing and to use computer. English grammar s not easy. But I think, if I write many time, I can get good skill.
  Thank you teacher.

  My best memory

  When I was a child, my family often climbed the mountain on a holiday or long vacation. When I an junior high school, I went to Aso to climb Kuzyu mountain with my family. Then I have already climbed the mountain for two times. But every time we couldn’t climb to the top of the mountain, because we were young and the mountain is a very high mountain. But at last, we could climb kuzyu mountain when I am junior high school. When I stood the top of mountain, I moved by beautiful piece of scenery. I was very tired but I could get very important things.

  Second Language

  Posted: January 14th, 2010, 11:11am PST

  Second language

  In my opinion, American students should have to learn second language. For one thing, now English is very popular language around the world. Of course it is also compulsory subject in Japan, So we can enjoy other country language and help our life. So If American student can study second language, they can broaden their horizon. Also now many country’s people go to America to study English. So, if American student can understand second language, they can help visitor, overseas student, for many times. Also , they can have interest about many other country. I think to learn second language is very important.

  I read a book which name is Dog in school. I have two dogs, so I choose this book and try to read. A dog was standing outside the lift. It had a fluffy coat with black and
  brown markings. It had big, floppy ears.

Sam go for her school and the dog followed her. Sam shut the gate so that the dog could not get in. She said "Good bye." to the dog. Children were studying at their class room, they hear the bark of dog. Everyone upset and they found the dog was outside the window. "There is a dog in the school," the children shouted. A man who is a teacher tried to catch it. The teacher went outside and Mystery ran away. The children helped him to catch it. They chased the dog in the playground. Mystery looked happily. The dog ran from one classroom to another, barking and jumping and wagging its tail. Finally, Mystery ran into a cupboard. A teacher shut the door. When the teacher opened the door quietly, there was a dog which had upset all the paint. It was not black and brown any more. He was red and blue and green and yellow. A head teacher had seen the dog before at the pub, so she took it back. The people at the pub were glad to get their dog back. His true name was "Trouble!" I think that the dog makes some trouble, but it is very cute. The dog which I had was vigor like "Trouble". If you have the time to read. Please read this book.

  I read The Evil Genie. I write outline at first. The evil genie is a spirit in the bottle on a tiny island in the middle of the ocean. Biff, Nadim, kipper, and Floppy (a dog) are taken the magic key to the island. Biff pick a bottle sticking out of the sand. And then, they see a sailing boy in the island. He is Kamar who has been missing his father for four years. Biff open the bottle on the boat, then the evil ganie appear with smelling like rotten eggs. He hit them on the boat, and they are all thrown on to the beach. And they see a man, Hassan, who is father of Kamar in the beach. Suddenly the evil ganie appear again, and he control the large bird (very fool face). The large bird grasp the Floppy and he flow off with Floppy. Suddenly the magic keys begin to glow. In the end, they get back a home without Floppy.
  When I finished reading this book, I could not be satisfied with the end of that. Floppy remain disappearing!! I want to know about ending. Is Floppy live or not?? If I pick up the book of sequel, I read it. Please read this book!

  BR-8： The Hare and the Tortoise

  Posted: January 3rd, 2010, 12:58am PST

  This time I will write about the book I read. The title is a “The Hare and the Tortoise ". Do you know this story? I know already it. Because I have read the same story written in Japanese. The story is that the hare which loved running more than anything in the world. The hare's name is a “harry ". Maybe Harry is the fastest hare in history. So Tom Tortoise heard Harry boasting. And He didn't think Harry was so special. Oh.. Tom Tortoise worked with Harry. And Harry was always laughing at Tom. “Take your time!! ". Then Harry said Tom “Let’s have a race to prove that I must be the fastest creature in the world.” Then Tom answered “I will race you, Harry.” And the race started. The race was known to every animal by all the newspapers and television. Harry would think that he would win, but he wanted to win by miles. So he chose a good long course for the race. But Tom didn't seem to be training at all. Harry raced off and disappeared almost at once. Everyone laughed as poor Tom plodded over the line. As soon as he was out of sight, Harry stopped beside a tree to rest. Because he was very tired after all his early morning training. Soon his eyes started closing and he was asleep. Meanwhile, Tom was slowly making his way along the course. Nobody knows Harry sleeping under his tree. Hours passed. The sun was setting and the air was cool. Then Harry woke up. And he felt much better after his nap. In same time, Tom arrived at the Goal!! Tom won!! And Harry lost. Tom didn't even look out of breath. The moral of the story about the hare and the tortoise is that “Slow and steady wins the race.'

  Now, I am studying English as a major subject in my university every day. Do you like English? I like it very much. To speaking, to writing, to listening, is not so easy. Reading and grammar is also difficult for me. But I interested English and many other countries where I don’t know. Also I like talk with other country people in English. I think that to can English is very important for me and you. And since I have entranced this university, I participation Freshman camp in spring and English weekend in autumn. It was important things for me. Now I have a many friends from abroad. For example exchange student. They also teach me about many things. Also last year I learned German as a second language. It was more difficult better than English. And now, I interested in Chinese so I studied it my self.
  
  When I was a little child, my mother often said to me ‘thank you very much’. I think that this is the first words I remembered from English. In elementary school, I learned the Roman alphabet. Then I interested it and English very much. I studied it very hard and I wrote a love letter to a favorite boy written in the Roman alphabet. This is not foreign memory for me. Also, then I learned English by ALT in English class. I liked it. In elementary school, I knew pleasure of English.
  In junior high school, I didn’t like English because I didn’t like the teachers of English class. They were Japanese. I was a shy person so I didn’t talk in English with teacher or friends. But I began listening to English music, I like English again and I wanted to learn English more. So, I began to go to a cramming school　near my house. Grammar and Listening was to difficult for me. But I try hard every time.
  And high school, I choose English class　as an optional course. Then I studied authorized textbook of English. It was very difficult but I try it many times. When I was a freshman, I went to Australia as a school excursion. That was a first time to go abroad for me. In there I learned a lot of things. The most I thought was an important of language. I wanted to speak with my host family about many things. But I was a very shy and I couldn’t speak. That things t was very regrettable. Also when I was a last high school summer, I went to Cambodia to do volunteer from high school. the mother tongue in Cambodia was not English. But If I could English, I could communication with Cambodian and I could learn more and more. And then I decided to study English more in university.
  
  And now I have a dream so I want to go abroad to study language during in this university life. I must try to test to get the chance and I think that it will very difficult. But I want to try it!!

  Recently I am interesting about China very much!!
  
  Because I learned history about Japan and China at the class. It’s a not good history. When I watched movie about it yesterday and last Friday, I feel very sad. I thought that it’s never good history, but very important history for Japan and China. I think that I have never forget the movie and I don’t’ forget it.
  
  And recently I made a friend came from China. She is a exchange student. But her Japanese is very good. I was very surprised when I heard the words spoken by her. The Japanese is very beautiful. Recently I made a other senior friend. He is also Japanese very good. And the Japanese spoken by him is also very fluent. They can speak Chinese, Japanese and English very much. I respect to them very much and I wish that I want to become like them.
  
  Next….I like Chinese food very much!!!! For example, Chinese big bowl, Gyouza, Chinese steam meat dumpling, Chinese soup, Chinese snack and so on!!!! I feel very very very very happy when I ate them I was very hungry. Last Wednesday I went to Chinese restaurant near my university with my club member.

The staff asked older in Japanese. But when they say older to kitchen staff, they spoke Chinese. And this restaurant cook very first and not expensive. The taste was also good!!!!!!! Now, this restaurant became my favorite restaurant J!! If you have never been to there to eat, please do there. You will also become favorite restaurant sure!!!
  
  At last, recently China becoming the country where have many difficult problem. It’s a vey difficult problem around the words. The problem will not able to solve easy. But, it’s a very important for people living around the words and also Chinese. However I think that now the most painful is a Chinese who is living in Japan. Exchange student is also. When I heard bad news about China, I always sad and think about them. I wish that sometime the problem as a it will nothing for ever.

  Essey 1-02b: My opinion about University life

  Posted: July 8th, 2009, 3:03pm PDT

  There are a lot of kind of people in my university, Kumamoto Gakuen University. They came here who have various purpose and spending.　They are enjoying various things. Also, our university has many places and subject. I am enjoying this university life very much..I have been belonged to club lacrosse, since when I entrance this university. I almost spending with club member. For example, Lunch time, my vacant hours, after school, in holiday so on. There are belongs about 50 people. Now, club is very important for my university life. I can refresh and heal by the club every day.My almost friends belongs club in university. For example, Youth hostel club, baseball team, passing club, volley ball club, culture club and flower arrangement club etc. Everyone can make many friend and enjoy the club activity. Of course, they play many things and study very hard too. If they have same subject people in the club, they can teach each other. It’s good things .There are many clubs in Japanese University. I think, almost student belongs it and enjoying. But, any people not belong. They strive any other things. For example, to study very hard, part –time job for to play, to pay school fees and to live themselves. It’s also good and terrible things. But Japanese University is not so popular better than American University. Also, any other student enjoying their hobby and various lesson.I think that University is very freedom. I have many things that I can to do only now. Of course, to study very hard is natural in university life. Because I pay high money for university by our parent or myself and I should have many things to learn. It’s also important things. But, to enjoy club activity is also great. I can learn many things and we can’t learn tings by study.

I always eat box lunch in there when I go to there as a staff in lunch time. This work is very good and benefit for myself. At afternoon, I had classes of Britain culture. I can learn about many various English culture. Today is about English garden. It’s very beautiful. I enjoyed today’s class because I have interest about English garden since before. I want see the English garden actually in England. Last week, I publish about Germany festival with Yuria Shimizu. If someone guess by teacher, the people must publish about something in next time. Next last classes was Japanese phonetics. This is most favorite class of my many classes. Because teacher is very kind and to learn Japanese phonetics is very interesting. But why I become very sleepy some times. To learn Japanese for foreigner or overseas student is not easy, but if I can the work, I am very happy. Maybe I also learn a lot of things by them. I think that it is very important. After school, I went Kumamoto middle city with my club’s freshman, Miya Nagamine. She came here from Miyazaki since this spring. She lived in apartment near my University. It’s very convenient. Maybe about seven minute from her house to University by bicycle. I’m very envious.

She bought two black school 　bags. She looks like very happy. By last year, I also used this Muzirusi’s school bag. But I broken the bag again and again because I often drop the bag in floor. Whenever I drop the bag, I felt depressed. Eventually I must bought the Muzirusi’s school bag four in year. So, now I using strange black skin bag. It is very good. Not broken. After the shopping in Muzirusi,we walks in city and into many kind of shop. Shopping is make me very happy. I like very much. But now I don’ have many money so I can not buy everything I want to. But we found want to sandal. It’s very cool and simple and very cheap. Size is also good. But we were hesitate to buy or not. Eventually we not bought the sandal. After the time, we went to Macdnald and we talked a lot of things. For example, about class, club activity, club member and love story. We could enjoy the
  Time. Mac is very convenient. Because, food is very cheap and we can go without constraint. I have shop near my house. Mac is good for everyone. At 10:00 we dissolve. I could enjoy the day very much.
