I’ll write about my favorite movie. The movie is “THE SCHOOL OF ROCK”. The movie showed in 2003.
A guitarist Dewey Finn is fired by members of his own band, because he is egoistic and not cooperative. In addition, he is ejected from his house by his roommate. His life becomes to be boring. He has no job, dream and wish.
Dewey finds some new job. One day, he succeeds in getting a job. Accidentally, he pretends to be a substitute teacher of an elementary school. He begins to work at the school. But he doesn’t have teaching license, so his teaching is disreputable to all students. Dewey feels bored, and he comes up with teaching rock music and how to play instruments. At first children oppose Dewey’s doing, but gradually they become to be crazy about rock music. Dewey and students get a precious pleasure.
Parents of the students object against Dewey’s teaching, but Dewey and student continue the pleasing class in secret. They make a band. The name is “THE SCHOOL OF ROCK”. Students become to be good at playing instruments. They decide to take part in a contest of band. Dewey leads them.
The day of contest come. Dewey and students go to the place where contest take place secretly to other teachers and parents. They show wonderful playing. They are smiling. They enjoying genuinely. They win the contest. In fact parents of students come to there, but they become to be assured that and rock music and Dewey give children a precious pleasure and hope. Dewey shared joy of win with students and their parents. Dewey get so many friends and precious days.
I learned precious things from this movie. I think that keeping having pure heart and passion like Dewey is important. Such heart can make some precious pleasure and hope. I recommend you this movie with confidence.

In summer season, I want to hear some scary story of ghost. I don’t like scary story, but my instinct want to hear it. I have never seen ghost, but I believe the existence of ghost. After I hear some scary story, I don’t want to walk alone at night. I live near a big river. I have heard that ghosts are apt to gather at the watersides, so I think that many ghosts exist near my home. It’s so horrible!!
Incidentally, I think that Japanese horror movies are the most horrible of world’s horror movie. Especially, I like “Juon”.

DISASTER!
People have been interested in disasters. We are excited and frightened by them. There are many kinds of disasters in the world and some of them were not predictable several years ago, but now computers and many scientific machines can help to give warnings of possible disasters.
A volcano is one of disasters. If erupting, it will blow the cloud of ash in a large area. Sometimes mountains carry away lava. It is dangerous so people are in the panic if lava flows near residential areas. We often classify lava into three types and they are hard one, watery soft one, and those of middle hardness. Hard lava tends to comes out from a global mountain, and watery soft lava tends to come out from a flat mountain, and lava of middle hardness tends to comes out from a mountain of middle height. Therefore we can predict what kinds of lava come out to check the form of the mountain.
A flood is also one of disasters. If a flood happens, many inhabitants die of swallowed in a muddy stream. An infectious disease also causes death because people have to spend in a dirty state for days.
Disasters are very dangerous and they kill many people every year. All we can do is escaping. Even if predicting, we can never control them.

RAINFORESTS
There are rain forests around the equator. The area is hot all the year round and usually between 20 degrees Celsius and 28 degrees Celsius every day. The weather is always wet and most rain forests have more than 200 mm of rain in a month.
Rain forests are important because more that half the species of plants and animals of the Earth live in the rain forests. Moreover the people of the rain forests have always used plants to make medicines and we can recover from some diseases by having the medicines. There are rubber trees there and rubbers are made of the trees.
More than fifty million people live in the rain forests of the world and most of them don’t hurt the forest that they live in. They eat the fruits that grow on the forest trees, but they don’t cut them down. They kill some animals to eat, but they don’t destroy the species.
We shall never know about some animals which live in the rain forests because every year about a thousand different species disappear for ever. Many animals are in danger of extinction because we are destroying the rain forests. To take care of the animals are certainly important, but not to contact with the animals and the forests may be more important for us.
