Snowman!! and Shiori!!

2010-01-14T14:11:00.002+09:00

It’s very cold. Yesterday, it was snow day. It was covered with snow yesterday. I think it was long time no see.

When I got up, I opened the curtain. I didn’t think it is snow. When I notice snow, I was very happy, because snow is rare in my hometown and Kyusyu. A lot of places were covered with snow. It was so beautiful.

I took some pictures at school. A few people made snowman. It looks so cute, and I felt fantastic. This is my friend’s Shiori. She and I hang out with snow a little time. The snow was so cool, however, it was very soft. If I had long time, I hang out with snow more time. I wanted to make a big snowman.

I had never play sky. I want to try it. If I have a chance, I try it least one in my life. If you can play sky, please tell me how to do it. I am looking forward to try sky. (170 words)

Shimonoseki

2010-01-13T09:57:00.002+09:00

December 23, I went to Shimonoseki with my family and my grand father. I wanted to go there before, it was first time for me to go there. We went there by car, through expressway. It is very cheaper than any other transport. Expressway’s fee is only 1000yen one way by use ETC. So, my mother set it to go there.

We heard that Karato Ichiba, Shimonoseki, is very nice place by my uncle, so we decided to go there. It took about two hours and half hour. I felt near place from Kumamoto.

At there, we ate a lot of foods. For example, I ate sliced raw globefish, Miso soup of crab, rice porridge of globefish, and so on. These are delicious for me. Especially, I have thought to eat sliced raw globefish, so my dream came true. It was very good taste, then the sushi of globefish is so delicious too. I had never forgot that taste. After we ate lunch, we bought some gift for my grand mother and cousin’s family.

After that, we came back home. But, on the way, we went to Costoco. At that shop, we bought some goods. For example, my mother bought some commodity, and I bought some snacks, which came from overseas. I recommend Lays Potato chips. I ate it when I went to America, after that I like it very much. If you have a chance to go America or Costoco, please give me!! Haha!! (247 words)

Coming of Age Day

2010-01-12T22:06:00.001+09:00

Yesterday was Coming of Age Day. It is one of famous day in Japan. Especially, the day is special day for new adult. Some city had held ceremony of adult yesterday, however my home town Gyokuto had held it at January 4th. The reason why my home town held it early is a lot of people live out of Kumamoto. So, some of them can not come back home town the Coming of Age Day. Thus my home town has held the ceremony in early January.

I got up early the day morning, and I went to beauty salon to make up and dressing Kimono. It was second time for me to wear long-sleeves kimono. First was taking of pictures, and second was the ceremony’s day. However, I changed hair style. It makes change of image.

I was a member of the ceremony’s staff. So I had to go hall where the ceremony held. So I went to the hall about ten o’clock. To wear long-sleeves kimono is very hard for me because a lot of string bind the girl.

This is the picture of ceremony. My classmates are 77people. I think that the number is so few. However, I like this member. Our ceremony was finished homey mood. After that, at there, we held buffet party. Then we watched slide show. It made the ceremony’s stuff. We enjoyed watching the show. It makes us good old. Then we talked each other’s days. I was very glad to see a lot of friends long time no see. I think that the day was Memorial Day for me. (267 words)

HAPPY NEW YEAR

2010-01-01T16:15:00.001+09:00

“★A HAPPY NEW YEAR★”
How do you spend New Year’s days??
I went to my ground parent’s home greeting of New Year. My family and my cousin’s family gather my ground parent’s home every year. At there, we ate Osechi ryouri and Zouni (rice cake boiled with vegetables). I like Zouni very much. I like Osechi too.

This picture’s dish is Osechi. Before, my mother, aunt, and ground mother made Osechi in my ground parent’s home. A lot of dishes were handmade. However, we ordered these near years. Because, to make Osechi is little hard for them, so they ordered it.

Osechi has a lot of hope each dish. For example, Kazunoko (herring roe) is descendant prosperity. Konbu (kelp) is gratified. Ebi (shrimp) is longevity. The other dish has each wish. If you want to know about them, please look at this.

In this year, I want to challenge a lot of things. I want to get some qualifications so I will do my best.

Have a nice year!!! (173 words)

Essays 2-03 b : Most important things

2009-12-16T10:29:00.000+09:00

To learn language is very important things for our life. If we can not understand languages in the same countries, we can not contact each other. Then we cannot do anything. For example, we cannot speak, understand each other’s hart, or communication between other persons and I. It is not only in the same countries, but also overseas. So we learn languages.

I have learning a few languages since I was born. I receive a lot of language’s classes until now. For example, I received Japanese, English and German. I’m learning them still. Then I deepen that knowledge now. In the future, I want to talk a lot of people through English. I will introduce about their content from now on.

First of all, I want to talk a lot of people in the all over the world. English is a common language all over the world. So I want to speak English very well. I want to get a lot of skills in writing, speaking, reading, and listening. So, I want to start to remember words, read newspapers, and watch TVs. I think these are easy ways to learn English. Then I want to get those skills through them. In the future, I want to be a ground staff at air port, cabin attendant or English teacher. I have learned English over ten years, so I want to work use English. Therefore I have a few plans to study English. One of them is to go abroad. We can study English not only study abroad but also trip. I want to go America one more time. I went to there last summer vacation with my friends, and we experienced a lot of things. At there we had some troubles because we couldn’t get through our pronunciation. I felt that it is one of important thing for me to understand and speak English. I started to learn language deliberately at six years of age in the elementary school’s class.

However, it is not first time for us to learn languages, because we can speak mother tongue at the age. Actually, we learn languages before we are born. Mothers talk to them babies to them stomachs. I think that the baby listen that the voice inside. Then the young children hear the conversation of them around adults. When children go to pre-school, they remember a lot of words. It is not only good words but also bad words, such as fool and shit.

At elementary school, I studied Japanese and English. In Japanese, I learned, the Japanese cursive syllabary, block letters in Japanese syllabary and Chinese character. First we learned the Japanese cursive syllabary, and second block letters in Japanese syllabary. After that we learned Chinese character accordingly of age. Flower is the first Chinese character, which I remembered. It is about five years old. My brother taught me the Chinese character. It was difficult for me to remember the Chinese character. When we remember the Chinese character, we have to remember order writing. To keep order writing is most important things to write beautiful Chinese character. Then I learned English from an Assistant Language Teacher. We learn English through some games, and sings. It was very interesting for me to learn English. Other things I commute English conversation class after school once a week. In the class, I learned a lot of words. For example, I learned some words, month, and week etcetera.

When I was a secondary school, I started studying English in earnest. However grammar was the main thing I studied. We learned these to use textbooks. Sometimes, we learn English through some games. I learned these in a high school too. As a freshman, I started to learn English deepen, not only grammar, but also English history.

I learned a second foreign language, German. The reason I choose it was, I heard that German resemble English and Japanese. Actually, German resembles Japanese grammar and English words. But, German is foreign languages for me. However it is interesting for me to study German. If I have chance to learn German again, I want to learn once more time. I have learned Japanese, English and German. . Then if I have a chance and time, I want to learn Korean. Korea is near Japan, so I felt Korea is the nearest country in the all over the world. If I know Korean, I can go there any time. So I want to learn Korean except Japanese, English and German.

I’m learning English profound knowledge now. For example, I learn history of the English language, U.S. literature, writing, speaking, and reading skills etcetera. Until I was a high school, I had never learned exact pronunciation. However, at the university, we can learn it by talk native speakers. We can learn that not only talk, but also hear. Then I discovered a lot of things. For example, I found national expression by everyday conversation. I felt that it is important for us to learn practical English. I can do it now

Thus, I have learned three languages through life and classes. I like Japanese best. But, English is most used by a lot of people all over the word. I felt that it is not easy for us to learn languages, so I think that it is important for us to learn languages step by step. Then it is important for us to continue learn languages by usually life. I want to learn languages now, which I can and I hope I can speak English well in the future. (929 words)

BR 2-12 : BUIRDING THE PYRAMIDS

2009-11-17T21:47:00.000+09:00

I read the book which title is “BUILDING THE PYRAMIDS”. I chose this book because I want to learn about history. Then I found this book, so I chose this one.

There is written about Pyramids. For example, the book shows us about Tombs of the Pharaohs, how to build the Pyramids, how to go up, and so on. I was surprised when I turn first page, because the book drew the mummy of Pharaoh Romesses II on first page. I knew that the Egyptians thought that Pyramids would be a safe place to put the mummies of Pharaohs. When I read it, I thought so to. Because, Pyramids are so big buildings. Then the Pyramids built by many engineers, architects, masons, and artists, so it is very strong.

I knew about how to make the Pyramids. I think that it takes a lot of times to make it. People work hard. At that time, Egyptians had no machinery or iron tools. I think that it was very hard work for them to cut blocks and to drug.

I didn’t know about those things before, so when I read this book, I know about Pyramids. (195 words)

Which is the best??

2009-09-30T16:51:00.000+09:00

First is ice cream or Kakigori. I like ice cream more than Kakigori. The reason why I choose ice cream, I like ice cream very much. Ice cream can eat all of season, but I don't want to eat.

So we can choice ice cream which people's favorite ice cream. Therefore, I like ice cream more than Kakigori.

Next is Rock or Jazz. I like jazz more than rock music, because I was a member of the brass band club when I was a junior high school student. That time, I watched the movie which title is "Swing Girls". When I watched the movie, I thought that jazz is so cool. So, I like jazz. The other hand, rock resembles all of rock music.

And next is a last-minute goal or a game-winning basket in overtime. I think that a last-minute goal is more exciting than a game-winning basket in overtime. The reason why I choose it that soccer is not easy to goal. The other hand, it is easily for player to reach the goal basketball than soccer. It is rare for me to goal last-minute. So, when the player reaches the goal, I am exciting.

Finally, which is more useful about knife or spoon? I think that a spoon is useful than a knife, because spoon can a lot of things. For example, people use spoon to eat soup, rice, ice cream, to rub butter, jam and so on. If we don't have chopstick, we can eat some foods. The other hand, if we have only a knife, we can't eat all of foods. Then it was dangerous. A knife is useful when we want to cut some foods. However, knife used only that time. So, I think that spoon is useful than knife.

Japan and American Comparison about Decorated Lettrs and Emotions

2009-08-10T17:44:00.005+09:00

Coverage of cellular phone is over 80 percent, and a lot of people have cellular phone in Japan. Above all, a lot of people enjoy exchanging mail to use cellular phone. A lot of people inform heart to partner by use some decorated letters and emoticons. Especially emotions which made by combine letter and sign on the keyboard are perform an important role as means to tell heart of sender. However I found that expression of picture writing and emotions are different between Japan and overseas.

Decorated letters and emoticons are used as communication on the internet, such as mail or chat. The shape and expression of emotions are differing per country and area. When describing emotion by emotions, we can watch at that those emotions in Japan such as (^_^) , (>_<) , (*_*) , (‘_’) , (・_・) , (≧_≦). The other hand, we have to watch in profile ninety degree those emotions in America, such as :-s , :-o , :-p , :-D , :+) , ＞:-( . Then eye’s expressions of emotions, Japan are abundant to America, and mouth’s expressions of emotions, America have characteristic. That is to say Japan’s emotions express a lot of eye’s shape, and American express a lot of mouth shape. The reason why Japanese change eye shape of emotions are Japanese avoid plain expression. So, Japanese notice eye which appear honest feeling. The reason why American change mouth shape of emotions is American judges other people’s emotion, when American read feeling. The background of Japan that people are said “When people talk with a person, people talk to see eyes” by parents and teachers. Against the background of America that people are said “When people talk with a person, people talk to see lips”. These are related differ between Japan and America. These backgrounds affect the difference of the emotions. In addition, people use the difference words which use usually on the email and the chat. The expression which use on the email used shortened words to usually use. For example, the expression used shortened words FAQ (=frequently asked question), FYI (=for your information), AFAIK (=as far as I know), BTW (=by the way). In this way, the reason why people use shortened words is people want to tell things and feeling to other person. Japanese use shortened words too. For example, Japanese use JK (=joshi koukousei = school girl), KY (=kuuki yomenai = can not read atmosphere), DD (=daigaku debut- = a university debut), IH (= imi fumei = incomprehensible), FR (= family restaurants). However, Japan has the other reason. It is the fashion of the youth. JK’s mean is not only one, JK has other means. For example JK’s means are “jyoshi koukousei = school girl”, “ jyoudanha kaodakenisiro = make the joke only a face” and “ tuneni kangaeru = always think”. These are difference each groups. In other words, it is used as secret language between friends. Then, American doesn’t use period, comma and question mark on the email and chat to omit work of the letter input as much as possible. These are the result that attached great importance to the speed of an email and the chat. Then an email and chat have the face which emotional nuance is hard to tell. Therefore, people tell feeling to a partner with expression to express strong feelings. For example, there are “This is a v e r y important point”, “This is a *very* important point” and “This is VERY important point”. In this way people can emphasize with some capital letters, space and some stars then it is easy for receiver to understand what people emphasize. There is very plain thing to tell own feeling on the email.

As above I found that there is difference about the email between Japan and America. There is difference of the emotions style. These are difference of culture to direction of emotions and pay attention to the eye or lips. These have own mean and background of culture. Then people sometimes use shortened words in the email, and people devise it to make much of speed. There is not the difference of the border to make much of speed. As a result, people tell feelings and thought to a partner and people tell to be early only by some letters without using some sounds, the emotions and the shortened words were made. I think that these will be used not only Japan and America but also all over the world in future.

Essay 1-03b: Treasure

2009-07-09T10:50:00.007+09:00

We watched the movie whose title is Lilo and Stitch. I thought that this movie has various hearts. I think that heart is very important for us to live. When I watched the movie, I learned a few things. One is about guardianship. And, other is about traditional culture. This movie thought me having heart is important.

People have a lot of heart in own mind. For example, people have a family love, brotherly, friendly and so on. Then the movie has a guardianship. The purposes of the guardianships are saving family and Lilo’s future in this movie. Lilo’s sister, Nani, had to find a job to save family. I think that working is very important for us to live. If we don’t have work, we couldn’t get money, and we couldn’t live. So Nani have to get work to Lilo’s future.

Actually, I saw the woman who can't live with her daughter in the TV. She has to spend massive life with her husband. She was remarriage with her new husband, so her daughter didn't know new husband. Then the daughter lived in the institution. She was very sad to live not with her daughter. She wants to live with her daughter. I think that a lot of people who can't live with them children want to live together. However, condition is very severe.

If I have a child in the future, I want to teach about having heart is most important thngs. For example, we should have kinds and feelings to friends, parents, sibling, teachers and so on. Then the relationship is important for us to live. I am going to teach these things. So, I will cherish myrelationships.

Next is traditional culture. We have many cultures in our life. For example, we have foods cultures, clothes culture and house culture and so on. It is different each country in the earth. When I watched the movie, I learned Hawaii's traditional culture. Hawaii's cultures are dancing fula, Hawaiian music, Hawaiian juice and so on. These cultures are interested for me.

But, I have a pride of Japanese culture. I think that Japanese cultures are peculiar. For example, Japanese culture has Bon odori, Ennka,, and sushi and so on. These take root in our life. If we went to go abroad, we can experience about different culture. To experience different culture is important for us. We can know wide world.

This movie taught me a lot of things. These are important things to live. I think that even a child can understand this movie, so this movie taught them about hearts. Then, to know different culture is to learn own culture. We have to treasure them.(447 words)

2009-06-25T12:03:00.000+09:00

We watched the movie which title is Lilo and Stitch. I thought that this movie has various hearts. I think that heart is very important for us to live. When I watched the movie, I learned a few things. One is about guardianship. And, other is about traditional culture. This movie thought me having heart is important.

People have a lot of heart in own mind. For example, people have a family love, brotherly, friendly and so on. Then the movie has a guardianship. The purposes of the guardianships are saving family and Lilo’s future in this movie. Lilo’s sister, Nani, had to find a job to save family. I think that working is very important for us to live. If we don’t have work, we couldn’t get money, and we couldn’t live. So Nani have to get work to Lilo’s future.

Next is traditional culture. We have many cultures in our life. For example, we have foods cultures, clothes culture and house culture and so on. It is different each country in the earth. When I watched the movie, I learned Hawaii's traditional culture. Hawaii's cultures are dancing fula, Hawaiian music, Hawaiian juice and so on. These cultures are interested for me.

But, I have a pride of Japanese culture. I think that Japanese cultures are peculiar. For example, Japanese culture has Bon odori, Ennka,, and sushi and so on. These take root in our life. If we went to go abroad, we can experience about different culture. To experience different culture is important for us. We can know wide world.

This movie taught me a lot of things. These are important things to live. I think that this movie can understand even child, so this movie taught them about hearts. And, to know different culture is to learn own culture. We have to treasure them. (390 words)
