Drawing

Posted: April 15th, 2009, 10:48pm EDT

Recently, I often draw pictures on every time when I am free and to be in classes I always seat back of class room. I can not draw very well, but I am making efforts so hard. I have never taught to drawing piture except art class in my school days, so I have no knowledge and skills for drawing. I want to be able to draw shades and muscles. I am planing to go to school of drawing and oil painting. I have wanted to learn oil painting for a long time. I found the school of them in kamitori street. I will go and I want to go there, so I should make some much more money for it. I should my hair cut to interview for part time job. I wanted to do it today, but I could not. Maybe I will do on Friday or Satureday. I would like to upload my picture on this blog, but I have not scaner. Hmm... :( but It's ok. Bye.

I went to down town on afternoon today to take my bike. I saw many cherry blossoms.

The plan of tomorrow

Posted: January 31st, 2009, 11:43pm EST

Today I went to KGU to turn in my report of English litereture class. I took about 2 days to finish it. It was so hard work. I had never wrote 4000 word report in Japanese, but I know that I should write 60000 word in Japanese for my graduation thesis. I think it will kill me. I have not decide to join my semi class for next year. I am waved to join English litereture class or caltual class, because I like to read book and I am interested in foreign calture. I like both of class teacher. I think they are very interesting. After turning in report, I went to get my speaking class's note book to my speaking class teacher. After that, I went to down town to see alound the mechanical staff. I wanted to buy a chargeable buttely for my controler of Xbox360 and I also wanted earphon. I bought them at Best Denki electolic store. I went back to my house and I had lunch. After lunch, I pleyed video game till at 7. After dinner, I played it again. I like video game very much, but recently I am not interested in it, I do not why. How ever I think that is good for me. Video game makes me waste my time. My friend Takashi has not any kind of video games. The reason why his mother do not allow to buy it, he said, but I think that is very good. I often say to Takashi not to begin playing video games. I think video game seems like kind of a drug.

Dr.Jekyll and Mr. Hyde

Posted: January 31st, 2009, 11:12pm EST

I have to write my blog little more, I think, but I do not have any topic or ideas, so I am going to transrate my English reterature report. I wrote about Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. It was tough work. I wrote 4000 words in Japanese. OK. Let us start. I will divide it in some posts.

This report will introduce and discuss about The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde is written by Robert Louis Stevenson in 1886, and its story is written about dissociative personality disorder. This is very strage for Stevenson, because he almost wrote children literatures. So, this novel still known and loved by many people. In Japan, there are many Japanese trancerated version. There are many main characters. Atterson, he is an attorney. Enfield, friend of Atterson. Ranyon, old friend of Atterson and Dr. Jekyll. Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, the other parsonality of Dr. Jekyll. The star of this novel is Atterson, but the story does not go with his subjective emotion. He seems like a story teller. Atterson follow the strange issues and behavior of Dr. Jekyll, and finally he found the truth of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. The story finish thorough the death of Dr. Jekyll, and explaining of his will. Atterson does nothing about Dr. Jekyll. He does not do any thing like a here or dejective. He act just as a man, just as a story teller. I think that calling Atterson as a story teller is much better.[262]

Posted: January 20th, 2009, 11:03am EST

1. I learnt to write, and make out English lines speedy, and I could get lot of words and idioms through writing. It was tough work and sometime I was bored. However it was also interesting. I enjoyed reading English books and write reviews. I found reading English books is helpful for make English lines. I can learn how to make lines with joy.

2. Through writing blog posts, sometime I was confused that do I write with correct grammar and words. It is so irritating me. I found I can not write what I want to write and I do not have knowledge to check it. I am feeling my grammar skill and vocabulary are very poor. I took TOEIC test in January, the result of it was terrible. I will study grammar and vocabulary more in spring vacation to be able to make good lines and make good score on TOEIC. In addition, I am going to keep writing my blog, even if the class will be over. I also have plans to keep reading English books in spring vacation. I am interested in American literature now, so I will lend and read many English books. My next spring vacation will be full of studies. I will make it. I swear. [211w]

It was so enlightening for me.[169w-total]

Actually, I have like him when I was junior high, I remember before entering high school. Jun Miura had midnight radio program on J-wave on Tuesday. My speaking style, joking style and way of thinking is based on his way of speaking and speaking (May be some of people who I met, have never heard my joking ). He is very interersting.

Fuji Fabric

Posted: January 20th, 2009, 8:34pm EST

I like Fuji Fabric very much. I like this kind of music. I have known Fuji Fabric when I was high school student. Akaki iro no kinmokusei (red-yellow orange osmanthus) was my first listening. I liked it so much. Akaki iro no kinmokusei is in their major's first album and there are many good songs in the album. I have started to playing a guitar, I would like to play and practice those songs. So I am looking for the music score book, however it is already out of publish and I searched the chord of Akaki iro no kinmokusei on the Internet, but I never found it.In addition, it command premium, so the price is getting so high, may be I should cost almost 10000 yen. It is too much cost for me. The first one is Akaki iro no kinmokusei. The second one is Sakura no kisetu (The season for cherry blossom). I hope you like them.[162w]

The witch of west is dead

Posted: January 15th, 2009, 5:34pm EST

I read Nishi no majo ga shinda "The witch of west is dead". by Kaho Nahsiki. I like the author very much, I knew her probably when I was high school student. I knew her work by radio drama, in Ie mori kitan "The tale of house keeper". Ie mori, means house keeer. Kitan is old Japanese word. The word means tale. This is my most favorite one of her works. The world of ie mori kitan has old Japanese mood. There many Japanese creachers and plants. It is so touching. I love it. May be I have read it more than 3 times and I listerned its radio drama more than 20 times. The Radio drama is also very good.

I had known Nishi no majo ga shinda for a long time ago, and I listened its radio drama program on NHK, may be more than 15 times. I had never read it, but I had loved to read it. Recentry, I do not read any books, also manga books too. I was desirous of reading books. So, I buy it with Dr. Jykel and Mr. Hyde. The story was so good, I liked it so much, however I thought radio drama version is better than original. Nishi no majo ga shinda was picturized last year, I had wanted watch it, but I could not. I will watch it some time soon.[233w-total 2961w]

Seijin shiki

I attend to Seijin shiki today. It was... It was so terrible! There was quite many people inside and out side of hales. I and my high school friend gathered at at KGU on 10:30.

We arrive at hall on 10:45. Then, already many people was there. I was wanted to do not meet my old friend. The fanny thing, my friend also did not want to do so. I had wanted to see people and indoor of the hall, but my friend had not want to go. The square of the hall was so clouded. So we gave up to go into the hall and decided to wait outside untill the end of the ceremony. We talked very much, and I met some of old friends when I was junior high. However today was so cold. We could not hold out till the end.

We dicided to leave the hall on 11:45. We went to eat something, and went into Udon store. We ate niku Udon. We walked around suizenji after meal. I found suizenji is very good town. There is very pellcid river and in the town is so calm. I liked there very much. Today's seijin shiki let me imagined ワンダーフォーゲル(Wandervogel) the song of Quruli.

We went to Tsutaya book store in down town. We read some books and I looked for music score book of Fuji Fablic. It is already out of print. I loved to get it but I think that is impossible may be. I read Yoshitomo Nara's art book and a book about pop art. Some of artisit in the pop art book was so good, but some of them were sucks, I thought. I felt like to painting.

After that we went to PARCO, I looked for music score book again, but there was not. I went back to my house and I began to practice playing guitar. I did it till 6:00. Before dinner, my marernally grand parents. I talked my grand father for the first time in about 5 years, so we could not find words. I would like to visit them. I would like to clime to yaku sugi tree, I have never do that. I would like to see the ocean. I would like to breath and feel the air. I would like to see nature, animals.

Radio Drama

Posted: January 10th, 2009, 10:57pm EST

I turned on my radio after for a long time. I wanted to listen to radio drama on NHK FM at 22:oo. Every Saturday, FMシアター (FM theatre) is casted. I used to listen it when I was junior high school and high school student. After graduate high school, I started to do part time job. I loved to listen it, but I have to work every Saturday night, so I could not listen it. However today I had no part time job and recentry, most of dramas on FM theatre were encore. I had listerned most of them before, so I did not feel like to listen.. Today I had plan to go to fishing with my siniors of my part time job, but I did not to go with, because I was sick. FM theatre is a very good radio program. I love to listen to radio, especialy I love radio drama. Today's one was so-so. I have recorded some dramas which I liked, and I include them in my ipod. I often listen them in a bed before sleep.
OK. It is time to go to bed. I will have medicine and read book and sleep. Have a good night. Oyasmi nasai. [207w]

A Country Between The World

Posted: January 9th, 2009, 11:07pm EST

Do you know スキマの国のポルタ Sukima no kuni no Porta( Porta in a country between the world)? This is a TV program on NHK in Japan. This is the program for a child I think, but I love it. I can watch it whenever. This it the originated by Ryouji Arai. He is a author of children's book. I heard he is very famous in children's book industry. In the story, there is no languages. That way is not unfamiliar I think. The main character Porta looks always happy. He sing every time. The world is full of songs. It makes me fun and happy. It is very colorful and so fun. I think encore held on NHK in morning. You can watch it, if you are lucky. If there are no encore, let me know. I have DVD of it. It recorded all stories of it. I will lend you :) [151w]

MU...SICK

Posted: January 9th, 2009, 10:18pm EST

I love to listen to music, but recently I feel very strange. I like Japanese and other language music, but I do not feel good by listening music for their lyric. I think am tired to be told many feelings thorough the music. I do not listen to rock music and kind of noisy musics. I was loved to Slipknot, but I do not listen it absolutely.

Recently, I often listen to Jazz and instrumental music especially piano music. I am looking for good jazz trio musician and good pianist of contemporary music.

Last year, I watched Kou haku uta gassen (A TV program show held on every on new year's eve. In the program, many Japanese singers divided into red and white to contend with each teams.). That is very rarely issue. I do not like Kou haku uta gassen, because it is very boring. Of course also last year, I did not feel like to do so. But my older sister said want to watch it. My older sister has so strong right in my family. I am so scared. So I watched it with my older sister. I thought, "Oh... this year's Ko haku also boring!! I want to switch or turn off it!!" But, I heard name of Joe Hisaishi just before Ohasi Nozomi sings.

I WAS SO EXCITED!! Do you know Joe Hisaishi? He is a composer. If you were a Japanese, and you have ever watched Studio Dhibli animation movies which directed Hayao Miyazaki, you have listened and know his great works. Ok. I will put his works on this post. Please listen it. You will say, "Oh I know this tune!!" You will know how greate he is. His tunes are often use on movies. For example, Studio Dhibli's animation movies and Takeshi Kitano's films. His tunes is very effective and those strike the right cord, I think. I think his music makes more better movies. He is not just a bold buddy. [334w-total 1546w]

Interview was so terrible.

I had handed in my resume for internship program. I did my best, but the resume is just only my some profile, I should do my best in interview, and I will do so.

Whole speaking classes in 1 kumi gathered large room on building 14, and talk with people who seated in front of themselves like a interviewing for a company. I had practice with my friend before the test. There were many people who wore mask, it was so funny. Many people also were sick. The A class's student was very good. I would like to speak English like them. I think my score was terrible. I could not speak well. I should had to prepare sooner.

Recently, I can not sleep well because of my coughing. It is very annoying me. I also could not sleep yesterday. I gave medicines by my doctor. An antitussive medicine also in it, my doctor asked me to take them every after meal, but coughing let me wake up, so I can not sleep without it. I have no appetite and I am exhausted. I want to have rest so much, but I have listening makeup class in first period. Fortunately, I have no part time job tomorrow. That is very good, but I am waving to attend Seijin siki ceremony next Monday, and interview for internship held on next Tuesday. I have stack of plans and sicknesses. I am so tired.

Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde

Posted: January 6th, 2009, 12:46am EST

I read "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde". I read it because I should write review of this book in English literature class. This book is very very famous, so unfortunately, I knew the truth of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, maybe many people also knows about that. Dr. Jekyll is a dissociative personality disorder. He has two personality. Dr. Jekyll is a honesty person, and he has fame as a Doctor. Mr Hyde is a quite different person compare to Dr. Jekyll. He is not tall, but young and he is very violence. I have read "The Minds of Billy Milligan" when I was high school student. I do not know the story about "The Minds of Billy Milligan", but I can find Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde is completely fiction novel. In the story, when Dr. Jekyll switch his personality to Mr. Hyde, his size and shapes also mutate.

..... I can not write my mind smoothly. That is very irritating. I should practice writing more.[166w-793w]

My Winter Vacation

Posted: January 6th, 2009, 11:19pm EST

Wow!! I am living now unfortunately... but I am still having sick. Maybe I should go to hospital. Recently I am a sickness.

I would like to tell about my winter vacation.
Winter vacation began. I have thought I should go to hospital in the vacation. The first, I went to dentist. My teeth little hurt. Dentists dug my teeth. That was so hurt. I have never felt that ache, so I was very surprised.

To tell the truth, I do not like new year's day so much, because we have too much time to do anything, but we do not move so. We always stay inside, eat Osechi dishes, watch TV programs (most of the TV programs in new years day are not interesting, so I often play video games in my room.) and sleep. Is that very lazy isn't it? I am a lazy, but I feel that I am wasting my time in new year's day. I hate that feelings.

My father and my younger sister went to grand parents house. My younger sister is very noisy, but she went to grand parent's house, so I could spend quite silent new year's day.
In last year, I had my work so I could not have much rest. I had to write 3 reports, so I did not go there, so in my house, there were three, me, mother and older sister. My older sister came back from Osaka. She is also noisy, but better than young one.

My older sister plays piano when she back to my home. There are one piano and one electronic organ in my house. I used to learn playing piano when I was child, but I gave up when I was elementaly school student. I think I did not interested in music like me at this time. My older and younger sister learnt it junior high I think. After she played, I tried to play it, but ofcourse I could not play well, but I remembered to read music score. I would like to learn playing piano very much now.

I wrote 2 reports in winter vacation. The first was about a movie "Garp" in American literature class. This movie was wrote by John Irving. The star is Robin Williams. This movie was very shocking to me, but in writing the report, I was confused, I took about three days to finish it. The second report was P.E. class report. To tell the truth, I hate this class this class is waste of time. If it was not required class, I never attend it. I sware. Wrting report was not so fun.

I really do not remember, but last winter vacation was much longer than this year. [462-526w]

Essay 2-6 Learning with computer

Posted: December 9th, 2008, 11:39am EST

I often use computer everyday and people also do. I use computer in classes at my university. I often write report, surf Internet, send and receive e-mail, and create and edit my blog post. A computer is very useful tool for us. A computer helps us to get many information for our life.

It is very easy and helpful way use Internet to gather a lot of information, and it is easy to connect and communicate with all over the world. A computer and the Internet have a possibility to expand our world and actions. They have many good points, but it has some bad points and dangers.

It is easy way to gather information on the Internet. That is true, but it is difficult to find a collect information's, because there are a large amount of information. They are included wrong information. So we should have skills to make sure reality of information.

A computer have many soft wares, tools and devices. I often use Microsoft Word, Excel. I rarely use Power Point. Those soft wares are very useful. It is easy to make documents, and to print it out. We have many free charge soft ware and tools on the Internet. We can download that easy and quickly, but we must be careful to download and use them. There is a danger of computer viruses and spy wares.

To study computer is good, but sometime I feel it is boring, because that is a kind of messy. The first, to study with computer, I should sit down in front of a computer when I use a computer. The second, on the Internet, there are a lot of interesting sites and homepages on the Internet unfortunately. They bate and interrupt me, and in many time I lose it. We need a computer to use a computer. The third, to type a keyboard fast is not easy. If someone could not do that, it takes a long time to finish his works.

Community

Posted: November 15th, 2008, 5:35am EST

I am not in any clubs and circles in KGU, so I am in very few community. High school friend, university friend and part time job. I will show about the community of my part time job.

My part time job is Internet cafe in Kami tori street. I am in the community about one and half year. The community has members about 30. There are 4 shifts, morning shift, noon shift, night shift and midnight shift. I am in night shift. We have 5 members every shift, and 2 members work 7 pm to 10 pm. Other 3 members work 7 pm to 11 pm.
All of night shift members are 10 people including myself. Most of the members are university students from KGU, Kumamoto university, Kumamoto prefectural university and Kumamoto Lutheran university. The few of them are an adult. They have and do their own work on daytime.

Our shop has 2 level floors. We have 3 people in the store each every hour. 2 of them stay in first floor and 1 of them stay in up stair. Our shop has a lot of computers and comic books and magazines. Our job is to cleaning computers, computer desks which used customers, and rest room. Organizing comic books and magazines and we do payments at counter. Those works are kind of tough, but it is not so tough as noon shift. Sometime I used to in the noon time shift in last year, but it was so hard. In noon time shift, Customers turnover was very often and quick, so we also should do our work very quickly and efficiently. Noon time shift is so hard to me, so I hate it.

In my work, it is important to communicate smoothly for working quickly and efficiently. [298w]

BR 02-3 William Shakespear

Posted: November 10th, 2008, 1:45pm EST

I read William Shakespeare. I chose this book because I am interested in the Shakespeare. He was said the greatest poet in the world, now and then. I think most English people know about him and his play, and even most Japanese people also know some of his play such Romeo and Juliet. Name of my blog is the phrase which came from The Macbeth. I like this phrase, but I have never seen and hear T Macbeth. I would like to see it very much. Last year, I saw The Tempest in an English culture class, but I could not all of that.
A teller of this book is Toby who was friend of William Shakespeare. He was actor. He tells about life of William Shakespeare and about England in 17 century. The book was not bad. [138w]

Posted: November 5th, 2008, 11:17pm EST

I read The children of the new forest. I chose the book because I was interested in the book cover. The story was so-so. The main characters of this book are Edward, Humphrey, Alice and little Edith. Their were Beverley's children. Their father was a king's man. He fought to Cromwell's men for the king and he died. Their mother also killed, and their house of Arnwood was burnt. They had nothing, so their uncle Jacob took care of them as Armitage's children.Jacob told them to taking care of plant, farming, cooking, hunting and many house works. The children were spent happy life, but only Humphrey was thinking want to fight for the king for a long time as his father. After death of Jacob, Humphrey decide to go soldiering.

Movie review 2-01 Mrs. Doubtfire

Posted: November 2nd, 2008, 2:35am EST

I watched Mrs. Doubtfire. I watched it 2 times. First, I watched it with English sound and English subtitle. Most English was good for me, I could understand, I could catch the line of the movie. Second, I watched it with Japanese sound and no subtitle. I enjoyed difference of languages. The movie was so good, the story was so touching. I liked it.

The main characters are Daniel Hillard, Lydia, Miranda, Chris, Natalie, Mrs. Doubtfire and Stuart. The actor of Daniel is Robin Williams. I think he is a very good actor. I like him very much.

In this movie, he played as an actor. Daniel is an actor. Daniel has a funny personality and his children Lydia, Chris and Natalie are crazy for him, on the other hand, he is so messy man, it makes Miranda irritate. Daniel and Miranda were conflicting each other about it for a long time, so they ended up divorcing. In a court, Daniel was determined he could meet his children only every Saturday. It was so hard for him. His children was his life, but he also got a chance, if he get a job and place to live, maybe a court will change the decision, so he got a job carrying can of films in a TV company. One Saturday, he knew Maria looking for house keeper for her children, so he thought up to camouflage be a old English woman and to be a house keeper to be with his deary children.

Daniel began to work as a housekeeper and Mrs. Doubtfire. Mrs. Doubtfire was a very polite woman not messy like Daniel. Her character is just opposite of Daniel's. Anybody did not sensed who she is, in his family. His children and Maria liked her very much. Through to be Mrs. Doubtfire, Daniel touch more his Family especially Natalie. He did not like talk about serious things. Every time he made joke serious problems. He talked with Natalie deeply as Mrs. Doubtfire and he found what was bad for Maria and Daniel. He began to change. He cleaned up his room, learned how to cook and worked his real work harder he was liked by Mr. Lundy a big director of the TV company which Daniel works at. However one day Chris and Lydia found who she is.

On Maria's birthday, Maria and her children, Stuart Maria's old flame and Mrs. Doubtfire went dinner to Maria's favorite restaurant. However Daniel had a dinner meeting with Mr. Lundy on same day, same place. Daniel would like to cancel Maria's birthday dinner, but he could not. Daniel tried to acting to be Daniel and Mrs. Doubtfire, but finally his camouflage was worked out. His working effected bad to the judge of a court; Daniel must be along with supervisor when he meets his children. Daniel objected to the judge but it did not make anything, but finally Maria took care that, and Daniel could meet without any legals. The line what Mrs. Doubtfire said was so touching for me. It let me think about family. I like that scene the best.

Is there love in your family? Bye-bye.

My favorite place

Posted: October 19th, 2008, 2:31pm EDT

Where is your favorite place? Do you have it? I have three favorite places. My favorite places are namikizaka, Hanazono library and Yakushima island. I will introduce about those places. I like quiet place and water very much.

Namikizaka
I would like to introduce Namikizaka avenue. Namikizaka avenue is a part of downtown in Kumamoto city. It is close to my house. The road of it is made of bricks. It looks kind of old and beautiful. Kumamoto city's down town has some main avenues. The typical streets are Kamitori avenue and Shimotori avenue. I like Kamitori so so, but I do not like Shimotori, because it is kind of dirty. On the other hand, Namikizaka avenue is so calm and quiet but the road is narrow so Namikizaka does not have big mall and stores, but It makes me so relax. I would like to walk around there much more.

Hanazono library
I go to Hanazono library sometime. It is in second floor of Hanazono community center. I have been to there since when I was elementary school. I often went to there, but I do not go there very much because I have no much time to read books. Hanazono library is not large as Kumamoto city library, but it is close to my house. I like to reading a book very much. Most of books what I read are lent at Hanazono library. If you could not find books what you would like to read, you can order order the books from Kumamto prefectural library. You can lend 5 books per one person.

Yakushima island
My distaff side grand parents and my mother's brother and many relatives live in Yakushima, they are so kind and interesting. so I often went there in summer by ferry, but I do not go there more 5 years because of conflicting of summer plan. My mother is little busy in summer, my older sister lives in Osaka, my younger sister is busy for school.Yakushima island is a island of Kagoshima prefecture in Japan. I like it very much, because it has many nature and many water places. I like water very much.It has the ocean, river and water fall. We can swim and do fishing, when we went to Yakushima island, we swim the ocean and liver everyday. The ocean is very close to my grand parents house. View of the ocean is so lovely. Especially I like night view. Yakushima's sky is so clear. You can see many shooting stars. If you are lucky, you can see egg laying or hatching of sea turtles on midnight. Yakushima has many kind of species. You can see beautiful nature, animals such as monky and deer. [458w-1186w]

Posted: October 7th, 2008, 11:45am EDT

Fall is my most favorite season.

My favorite fall activities are reading books and biking and eating. I like books, especially i like novels and also I like to read Japanese comic book.

Introduction
I will introduce this site "IUCN Red List of Threatened Species" [www.iucnredlist.org].
I chose this site bucase I like animals, plants and any kind of species, and I think dissappearing and threatening of species is very big issue for all life and the earth, so I would people think seriously this problem.

About IUCN
IUCN is a organization which do campaign and activity for protect threatened species and nature. IUCN is stands for International Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources. IUCN is established in 1945.
Sections of IUCN
IUCN is consisted by 111 government agencies, 874 nongovernmental agencies and 35 agencies. Japan is also member of IUCN. IUCN has 6 commissions of exparts. The biggest one is SSC (Species Survival Commission), WCPA (World Commission on Protected Areas), CEM (Commission on Ecosystem Management), CEC (Commission on Education and Communication), CEESP (Commission on Environmental, Economic & Social Policy) and CEL (Commission on Environmental Law).
The front office of IUCN is in Switzerland. They do action for keeping threaten animals, plants and nature by direct, indirect or making lows.

About website
IUCN Red List of Threatened SpeciesYou can see vivid red and bloody back ground and some pictures of animals on the top page of this site at the first.
You can see some links on this site. You can search animals in "Search" section.

If you link to "Help Save Species", you can donate online. You can credit card for donate.

You can see introduction of IUCN and its some sections at "introduction" section, and you can see many partners of red list and many organizations cooperating with IUCN; at "Partners and Credit" section. You can see lists of Red data books at "Categories and Criteria". You can see a lot of pictures of threatened animals, plants and seaweed were listed in IUCN Red list in 2006 and 2008.
We would see the pictures, those animals which are listed, they have rare or ugly figure, beautiful or vivid color, rare pattern and good quality horn or antler. The because of their extinction are so many. The most reason of aquatic life's extinction is comes from over fishing or water pollution.

I know Red data book and I think this is very good site, but this is not common I think. In this time the problem of environment is very big issue and we much interested in the problem. The disappearing animals and plants is just warning. I think this is turning point. We should recognize much more that we are choking necks of ourselves.[428w - 569w]

Book review 2-01 Elephant Man

Posted: October 1st, 2008, 6:34pm EDT

I read Elephant man, because its book cover is so strange. In the book cover, a man is standing and wear sack on his head, it looks kind of creepy.

The story was interesting. This story is real story. I could not believe that at first, so I searched about Joseph Merrick. I found some photos of Joseph Merrick. Those look so... so poor. In our time, I can feel that is poor because I know many kind of sick are existing in the world. However, if I was living in 19 century, probably I think he is a monster.
I searched Elephant man on You tube, I could found movie trailer of Elephant man, and also found many poor movies, what about people who has anomaly of face or body cause of accident or inborn. Those were very, very poor.[141w]

This day, we had a professor of psychology as a guest. She lectured us about adoption. I did not know that, adoption is common in the U.S. I did not have so much good impression for adoption. My image of adaption was parents leave their kids irresponsibly. However that was wrong. The class was so enlightening.

After lunch, We moved to next class room, and played "Bunko". Bunko is a game with dice. The rule was not so difficult. At first most of us looked not so fun, buy they looked enjoying it gradually. After playing Bunko, we had a time to write own journals.

After school, I and John back to house, and cooked Sushi and Yakitori. After about one hour, John's parents Denis and Jane, his younger sister Rachel, her husband Steven her daughter Stephanie and Jessica, John's brother Will, his wife Jessica. We had dishes what we made and drunk some wine and Japanese sake. I drunk sake too. I got drunk very much. We had great time. [174w - 1154w]

It was music game. Chris had dram and guitar controller. In Japan, we have video games like that, but Rock Band was little different. Rock Band has a vocal player. I surprised that. I enjoyed it.

Awaking in the morning is hard to me, but I made it. John drove me to Starbucks cafe. After a little while, Takashi and Yoko F came there. Our driver was Paul. He was a so nice guy.

Bethel University was so big. We had a ESL class. ESL stands for English as Second Language. Our teacher was Cassie, but she lated little on the day. We learned about Paul Bunyan and something about Mississippi Paddle boat Cruise. We had a lunch at dinning center. American foods have a strong flavor and a much color. Something is good, and something is not good.

After a lunch, we went to ride liver boat. We went to boat pier by American yellow school bus! Seat was so hard! Bus riding was so bumpy and fun. Boat pier was in Mineapilice. We saw many high buildings. I went around in boat pier with Takashi. We talked an old man. He said he was serviceman, and he was in base in Okinawa. We surprised very much. Mississippi river was kind of dirty! but boat cruise was so fun. John said that is boring, but I liked it very much. After school, we went back to Starbucks, John was waiting. We went grocery store. American grocery was so big. We bought some foods. [257w - 762w]

After long flight, we arrived Northwest air port. I met my host man. My host was John F. My host is one person. He was a single. He was a tall man. I introduced myself and shake his hand. We took train to Mall of America because he parked his car at the mall. Train station was so big. It was seemed like subway's but John said this is not subway. During taking a train, I was so quiet. I saw cemetery from inside of train, white and little graves were there. I was curious about that, but I did not ask him. I think then I was still worried about my English. John might thought I am a silent boy.

John's car has a little accident in left side door of it. It could not open by outside, so I got act to open it from inside. John asked me "You can look around the mall of America, but also you can go to house which do you like?" I said I would like to go your house. Because I would like to see the house soon and I was little tired. During taking car, I was surprised anything, how big mall, car speed and width of road. Those were not in Japan. I asked John, have I school today. John said no, but we will have welcome party today.

We went to Como park. John brought cards and Japanese Sho-gi. I knew how to play Sho-gi, but I was not good at it. JOHN BEATEN ME!! After play Sho-gi, we played card game Dai-fu-go. It is Japanese game too. I played it some time, but I forgot rule, so JOHN TAUGHT ME how to play Dai-fu-go. When I got almost how to play, my friend Takashi came there. Takashi's host father was busy, so in first day, his host was Joel and Linda. We played Dai-fu-go. Kailey F joined in the middle of the game. She was a host sister of Ayaka K, and she was our instructor. After the game, we had supper. There were many dishes, but I was not hungry. So I had some fruits and drink.

After supper, we had a lecture of Japanese culture. My group lectured cats cradle. It is called Aya-tori in Japan, but this is not a game witch boys like to play. Actually I DID NOT HOW TO PLAY IT. I have never played in an approve rule, so my group member TAUGHT ME HOW TO PLAY THAT. I was just a student, but I was good student. I mastered how to make a broom. NOW, I AM A MASTER OF BROOM!!

I went to hear lecture presentation at Kumamoto prefectural library in July 12. The lecturer was Natsuki Ikezawa. He is a Japanese novelist. He got Akutagawa prise in 1988. I took listening class test and presentation started at 1:00 PM. I took test to at 1:50 PM, and I went to KPL in hurry. Then, it was about 2:10 PM I got to library. The lecture was scheduled finished at 3:00 PM. I went up to third floor, and went into a site room. There were about 60 men and women in the room. Almost of them were older than me. Probably, they were more than 50 years old. There were very few young people, 2 or 3 with included me. Unfortunately, I forgot my glasses, so I could not see the lecturer. The half of lecture was already finished. The theme of lecture was "What is the world literature". Mr. Natsuki rereaced complete works of world literature, those are chose by Mr. Ikezawa. He talked about that. Finish talking about world literature, he started to read aloud his novel. He read aloud "きみのためのバラ" (Ki-mi no ta-me no bara). It means rose for you. It story is that. A Japanese tourist traveled in Mexico. He always take train or bus to move. One day, he met a Mexican girl in train terminal during waiting next departure. She waited to departure too, and waited her grand mother. They talked few minute got friendly with her. He was mesmerized her brightly smile. Departure time came, they took a train with "see you" in Spanish. The Mexican girl and her grand mother took different truck. The Japanese tourist got out of a train. He looked for the girl, but she did not get out, then She was in a train. He found a rose seller. He bought a single rose. He thought it is enough. He leaped on in a train, and plunge in to the crowd to truck which her take. Lastly, he found her, and send a single rose, with "rose for you" in Spanish. The story is end. I read this book this year. Reading aloud was great.
Finally we got time to get sign of Mr. Natsuki. I got his sign my his novel. So great.

My most favorite his novel is "骨は珊瑚、眼は真珠" (Ho-ne ha san-go me ha shin-ju). It means Bones are coral, eyes are pearl. This is a short story. It is in a book named same name short stories book. This story is very impressive for me. I read this when I was high school student. I think If I read it I was in junior high, I could not understand it. Its story is very good. Really good, very silent story. There are woman and man. The woman is a wife of the man. The man is dead man. He is in the story, but he is not in the story. No one can see him. He only sees his wife from somewhere, from start to the end. In life, he told his wife to dispare his burned bones in the sea. He did not want to exist a thing. He did not want to stay in other than memorize, but her wife was confuse. It was hard to decide it. In this story, there is allusion of Tempest and Macbeth by Shake spear. Those are very effective.

In any English class, there are often same questions, "What or who is your most favorite books, or musician?" When I am asked it, I always confuse to answer. I like reading books and listening music. Those are my main hobby, so I have read many books, and I have listened to many tunes. I can not decide one. Can you decide it one?? I think it is very difficult question...![641 words-total 7094]

This is a peach beared in my garden. My mother planted seed 3 years ago. This is first bearing. We say "Momo kuri san-nen kaki hachi-nen". It means Peach and chestnuts needs 3 years to bear, and Japanese persimmon needs 8 years to bear. That byword was true I thought. Peach was very small. If I dress more then peach bears more big, my mother said. Peach was not sweet and so hard. I hope bear sweet peach in my garden.[83words- total 6653 ]

Tom's diner

Luka

This week we will take listening class test. I think, I must memorise lyrics of Tom's diner. Tom's diner is a tune of Suzanne Vega. I did not know who songs it, but I searched by You Tube, I found her song Luka. I know the song Luka. I was remembered The first phrase "My name is Luka". That was very impressive. My listening class teacher Mr.P said Suzanne Vega is the origin of rap music, but I do not think so that. I think the origin of rap music is Bob Dylan. His way of singing is seems like rap music.

BR1-07 Tresure Island

Posted: June 29th, 2008, 12:33am EDT

I read traesure Island. It was a kind of adventure. Before read, I thought this story must be such as movie Pirates of the Caribbean, because in book cover there are some pirates. They looks well natured men, but it was wrong. It story was not like Pirates of the Caribbean. Pirates are bad men till the end.
I like a movie series Pirates of the Caribbean. It story is very funny and exciting. Hero pirates are nice guy. But it story is impossible. Pirates exists at this time. They are very dangerous. I hear rarely Japanese fishing crew hold by pirates. It news is very terrible.[107words-total 5739words]

BR1-04 ANIMALS IN DANGER

Posted: June 28th, 2008, 1:48am EDT

I read ANIMALS IN DANGER. I chose it because I like animals and I attracted the book cover. As the book title, The is about animals in danger, domesticated animals and disappeared animals. This book was easy for reading. However it was very interesting and impressing.

I want to ask some people who says with loudly voice "We must protect animals because they are pretty". How many animals disappeared and endangered do you know? How many species disappears do you know? Have you ever read Red data book? Why do you think about it?What do you eat? What do you putting and wearing on?

I think naturally disappearing is system of the earth. The problem is our behavior is helping disappear of animals. Sometime I think, Is mankind can live with wild things? At this time, I do not think so. If we live with wilds, we must back to primitive life I think. We must break with economic system. However we can not do so. We can not stop evolution and development. If we really want to help them, almost of us must be lost in the earth. I think that is the best way. The earth is not belonging everything. Everyone belonging the earth I think.[209words-total 5250words]

Essay1-05 My Language Learning History

Posted: June 17th, 2008, 6:11pm EDT

My native language

I am a Japanese, so my native language is Japanese. I have been studied Japanese since I was born. I entered elementary school when I was 6 years old, I started to study actual Japanese. The early school year of elementary, we read Japanese text book, and write "Japanese Hiragana","Japanese Katakana" and "Japanese Kanji". The texy book of early year of elementary was written in plain Japanese Hiragana and Kanji. We got skills at using, reading and writing Japanese through that. I think the purpose of that is to get used to Japanese more. Growing up senior grade of elementary school, Kanji in Japanese text book become more difficult. I think learning Japanese in elementary school is very important. That is the basic, without basic of Japanese, we can not read and understand examination sentence.

My second language

Elementary school
I have been studied English about 9 years. My first time of learning English was elementary school. I was 6th grade. I attend to teacher's house near my house. She was a Japanese. I attend to learn English with my younger sister once a week. I was urged by my mother at the first, but I thought it was good chance to start learning English. I learned about plane and basic words such as cat, house and more. It was a interesting and funny time.

Junior high school
I entered junior high school. We started study English as a regular class. We studied pronouncing alphabet and grammar of English. My English teacher was a eager teacher, so we learned how to pronounce English by him. I think it is important that practicing pronounce alphabet. A word is assemble of alphabets. I think I can not pronounce any word without pronouncing education.
Learning English in junior high school, we had ALT. ALT stands for Assistant Language Teacher. They are native of English. Some time they joined our classes and introduced him/herself. It was very good experience because I have no chances to meet people from other countries.

High school
High school English was quite different from of that in junior high school. We studied grammar, read long article a solved any problems. The level of problem became more and more high. We did not pronounced word and read English text. For high school English teacher, English was a subject only for university entrance examination. I thought high school English was a kind of duty. It was very dull for me.

University
I attend to KGU. I am majoring English. My department specialized English speaking, writing and listening. We speak only English in speaking class, we listen and catch English in listening class and write a blog only English. Most of English teachers are people from foreign counties, so sometime I can not catch what they speaks. I must make effort.[475 words-total 3331words]

Essay1-04 My favorite things!!

I would like to introduce my favorite things.

I like music very much. I like any kind of music. I would like to introduce my favorite musicians.

The first is Esbjörn Svensson trio. It called e.s.t. that is a Swedish jazz trio band. It is the hottest to me now. I heard their music first, when I was high school student.The e.s.t members are Esbjörn Svensson (he is middle of the picture), He plays the piano. Magnus Öström(he is right of the picture), he plays drums. Dan Berglund(He is left of the picture) He plays woodbase. They see itself as a popband that plays jazz. Their play makes me sometime exciting and some time relaxing. I have two CD albums of e.s.t. "Vaiticum" and "Tuesday wonder land". "Eighty-Eight Days in My Veins" in Viaticum is my favorite.(↑The movie is not Eighty-Eight Days in My Veins. It is Dodge The Dodo.) Those two are the latest CD of e.s.t. I want more CDs of them.

The next is Suga Shikao. He is a Japanese singer. I like his lyrics and his husky voice. Most of Japanese musician sing such as love songs, broken heart songs and cheer up songs but it is so dull. But he write and sing jealous songs too. This is because I like him. His name "Shikao" is real name. I think "Shikao" is very rare name. "Shikao" written in Japanese Kanji "止戈男". 止 is pronounced "shi", it means stop. 戈 is pronounced "ka", it means weapons. 男 is pronounced "o" it means a man. I believe that he is the man who can stop the war by music. Ha-ha :)

Anyway, I would like to introduce next my favorite thing is...UMA!!
Do you know UMA? I guess you know UFO. It means Unidentified Fling Object. UMA means "Unidentified Mysterious Animal". I guess the most famous UMA is "Loch Ness Monster". It usually called "Nessie". Do you know?

(↑)My best favorite UMA is this one!! Do you know this piture? This is called "winged cat". Winged cat is a cat which have a wings. I like cat very much. This is a cat and still more having wings!! This is very fantastic isn't it?
I like unidentified things very much, for example UFO,USO and UMA. But I do not believe really they exist. The reaseon I like UMA, imagining these is makes me funny and exciting.[407words-total 2491words]

My favorite movie.

Posted: May 26th, 2008, 2:00am EDT

My most favorite movie is "HANA-BI". I watched this movie when I was high school student. "Hanabi" is Japanese. (It means fire works in English.) This movie was directed by Takeshi Kitano in 1998. Do you know him? He is famous among Japanese as a comedian and a movie directer. Recently he shoot a comedy films, but in 90's most of his films were violence movies.

HANA-BI is violence but very silently movie and its story is very sadly. Music is greate. The Director, star and scripwriter was Takeshi Kitano. Its story is escaping from cops and Japanese mafia. Main characterr is a man "Nishi" [actor is Takeshi Kitano] He was a cop but retired because of death colleague. Second main character is Nishi's wife "Miyuki"[actress is Kayoko Kishimoto]. She is sick. Nishi retired his job and he became poor, but he must pay a doctor's bill. So he borrowed money by Japanese mafia many time. One day, her doctor told Nishi, "your wife cannot live longer. You should better to take her outside and pass the rest of her life with her." Nishi decided to travel with his wife but he has a debt. He must pay it or bill collector will chase them but he did not have money, so he committed a robbery bank. He payed debt, but mafias want a rest of money Nishi robbed, so they chase them and cops got a aim of criminal, they also chase him.

OK, I think explaining is enough. Please watch your own if you got a interest of it.

In the last scene of this film, Miyuki says "Arigatou, gomen-ne" (it means nearly Thank you and I'm sorry) I remember in English subtitles of this, that part was translated "Thank you forever"(I do not remember completely) I think this nuance, between Japanese and English is quite different. If you are not Japanese, you should better study Japanese a little before watch this film. [334 words-total 1826 words]

I want! I want to see it!!!

Posted: May 22nd, 2008, 12:47am EDT

Do you know Taro Okamoto? "Geijutu wa bakuhatuda"(It means art is explosion) do you know this phrase? I think most of people know him and that phrase. If some people say "NO" but I think they know "Taiyou no tou"(Tower of The Sun) in Osaka Japan.

He is an artist. I know him but it is very few because when I have an interest for art (it about when I was 15 years old.) he is already dead, he dead in 1996, I know his that famous phrase and Taiyou-no-tou but then, I did not have an interest for him.

Recently I have got interest of him by one of radio program which featured Taro Okamoto. He hate sell his works for an individual. His thinking of art was that."Art should be opened to the public.For example, a work of art in a park, you can see it whenever you want. That is grate." I was impressed this way of thinking.

Do you know this wall painting? This is named "Asu no Shinwa"(it means a myth of tomorrow). It is said that this painting expressing terror of nuclear weapon and also this paint is affected by Pablo Picasso's "Guernika".

This painting is unveiled at Tokyo modern art museum till June 29I want see it very much! I want to go to Tokyo to see it!! Ending unveiling, this will be established at Shibya in Tokyo.[243 words- total 1492words]
