japan

I am going to talk about Japanese culture. I like Japan and I like Japanese culture, too. Japanese culture is a peculiarity culture better than other culture, I think. Japan closed the door to foreigners and it made a our original culture. They did not take in other cultures that time. The most interesting culture which I think is Japanese. Japanese is consist of 46 words of hiragana, 46 words of katakana, and a lot of kanji. I do not know how many words kanji exist. And we use romaji. We use different hiragana, katakana, kanji, and romaji for different purposes from day to day. The attractiveness of Japanese is a lot of first person, I think. I often read some books, there are a lot of character of first person. For example, "watashi" is one of the first person. But "watashi" written in hiragana and kanji is different images. And "watashi" written in kanji is different call, "watashi" or "watakushi." The second of the two is used in public mainly, and the first of the two is used by ordinary women and at times men say "watashi". There are the first person call "ore" and "boku". The men use "boku" is felt young more than use "ore". In English, These words, "watashi", "watakushi", "ore", and "boku" is express only "I". I thought that Japanese which express a lot of words is honestly superb because the first person tell a lot of people his images. And Japanese has a lot of onomatopoeia. We use a lot of onomatopoeia on a daily. For example, when it is a lot of humidity, we use "jimejim suru". In addition to this the cat's tearful voice is "nya- nya-", the situation of rain is "za- za-", and we have a lot of onomatopoeia. Japanese onomatopoeia translate English onomatopoeia is a few. We use onomatopoeia without intending to do so. If I have to talk without onomatopoeia, I would be put out it. It is very difficult for us to tell the emotions without onomatopoeia. I think that Japanese is the proud culture. I like a term of respect, wabi sabi and there are a lot of Japanese attractiveness! I want to import this wonderful Japanese.

and

Tennis is the same sport as soccer. I enjoy playing these. Tennis is played outside and soccer is too. Soccer is used a boll and so is tennis. Tennis is as famous as soccer. Both soccer and tennis are famous player in Japan. For example, there are Hidetoshi Nakata, Syunsuke Nakamura and Kazuyoshi Miura in soccer. In tennis, there are Ai Sugiyama, Kimiko Date and Maria Sharapova. It is necessary skill and strategy to play tennis and soccer is either. In case of soccer, they need marvelous cooperation. In tennis, they have to think where they must smash a ball. Tennis and soccer are very similar sport like this.

do

UFO’s do exist. There is some evidence they do exist. First of all, there are many pictures or movies of them. Some people took pictures. Many people actually saw UFO’s silhouette. It was broadcast on TV. They said that UFO’s do really exist! I watched it many times. There are many crop circles. Some people thought that these circle were made by aliens. Second, Space is very large! The earth is one planet in space. There are many planets. In the past, a Martian was the talk of the town. If they do exist, UFO’s do exist too. Water was discovered on the moon. Other living things may do exist there. Third, many people believe that UFO’s do exist. Among of them there is a society for the research of UFO. They insist on existence of UFO. The government doesn’t deny it. In Japan, UFO’s started a boom before. Then there were many productions on the theme of UFO. In this way, UFO is recognized in the world.

get

Problems to get marry in difficult culture.It became a convenience society. For example, it is available to use the Internet, progresses transportations and spread international exchanges. In recent years, it is increasing to international marriages. However there are many problems to marry someone from a different culture. First of all, they grew in different culture. The closest for us is eating hobbies. It is different what they can eat or not eat in their culture. For example, they don’t have to eat pork and drink alcoholic drinks in Islamic culture. If an Islamic woman and American man get married, they would perplex each other. Second, if they speak different language, they have to decide which language spoken in their house. And they have to teach language to their child. Their child goes to school when he grows, so the parents think what school he goes to. Finally, it is important to which country they live in. People want to live in a regular place. For the men, they want to live in mother country. They have to work for their family. If they work in unfamiliar country, they don’t have confidence and they don’t know what they do. The other side, for the women, they want to live in mother country, too. They will give birth to their children someday. Then they want their parents to be by the side. In this way they may be confronted with many difficult problems.

and

Japan and America are close country. An interchange of them has continued for several hundred years. We have grown each other through this exchange. The politics, economy and technology have developed, and we become developed countries. Then we build up a particular culture. Especially, I pay attention Education. It is familiar for me. Japanese people study hard to enter a school. But American students don’t have entrance examination because they will enter school to judge their grade, outdoor activity and result of SAT. But it is harder than Japanese school to graduate American school. There is elementary school, junior high school, high school, university, and graduate school in Japan, and American is too. Most Japanese students go to university then they work, but most Americans go to graduate school because family life is more important than study so they don’t cram in knowledge. There is many clubs in America, and Japan is either. These clubs are regional. Brass band and cheer leading team join local events. American education is develop their skill but Japanese education is different from America. They study not for oneself. Americans has aim so they study, but Japanese studies to pass the exam. I think there are many different points of education between America and Japan.

class

Today I had no class so I went to karaoke alone. I had planned it a few days ago. It took a lot of nerve to go to karaoke alone. Today is a weekday so there wrer a few people in the karaoke. It was freed from stress, maybe. I want to go there again.

BR05: The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde

Then the two men looked among the papers under the paperweight and found Henry Jekyll's will, but now Utterson noticed some changes... (p58)

There was a strange man. His name is Hyde. Mr. Utterson who is a lawyer investigated him. Hyde knew Dr. Henry Jekyll. One day Hyde kill a man and a cane he used is the same that Dr. Jekyll used. And the letter written by Hyde and Dr. Jekyll is the same holograph. After that Dr. Jekyll stayed in his room. Mr. Utterson entered the room. There was Hyde and he was died. Hyde and Dr. Jekyll are the same man. He drank a drug and he changed Hyde.

I did not know this book but it is famous story. Dr. Jekyll is a person with a split personality. When I look up this word, I saw a word "a Jekyll and Hyde." I do not believe that he drinks drug and he changes his face, voice and his character. It is interesting.

Lilo and Stitch

A mad scientist made a monster. This monster does only subversive activities. It is called Experiment 626. 626 is a very atrocious alien so it was sent into exile. While it was transported, 626 escaped the transport ship and it went to the earth by spacecraft. There is a girl in Hawaii. Her name is Lilo. She does not have any friends. Her parents died so she lives with her older sister whose name is Nani. Their living is not good so the welfare staff visited there to take Lilo to a welfare facility. But Nani won’t let them do it. The staff member’s name is Kobra. Bubbles said come here again, and left there. At night something fell from the sky. Lilo thought it was a shooting star and she prayed to have a friend. The next day Lilo and Nani got a dog. Lilo chose the monster, 626. Nani told her to change to other dog but Lilo refused. Lilo named 626 “Stitch.” Stitch destroyed a lot of things. At last Nani lost her job. Kobra saw the situation, he said Nami had to find job and bring up the dog. Lilo was interested in a book, “The ugly duckling.” The duck found family at last.
The next day Nani started to find a job and Lilo also started Stitch’s training. But it is not easy. David, who is Nani’s boyfriend, asked them to go surfing. Water is Stitch’s weak point. But Stitch was interested in surfing. Lilo and Nani and David were enjoying it. Stitch felt alienation. After surfing, Kobra said Nani that he will take Lilo tomorrow. Stitch was down in the mouth and saw the ducking family. He does not have a family. He wants his family. Lilo’s treasure is her family’s picture. “Ohana” is the meaning of family. Family is always at their side.
At the night Stitch brought the book of ducking and went somewhere. “I’m lost,” he said. The next day, the mad scientist followed Stitch to catch him and they came to Lilo’s house. Nani was not there because she went to get a job. There was a battle and the house was destroyed. Lilo was caught and rode in a spaceship. Stitch rescued Lilo. The chairwoman saw Stitch who is well-behaved, and she decided to make his place of exile there. Lilo and Nani and Stitch could live together. Stitch got his ohana.
It was the first time to watch this movie even though it is a very famous movie. At the beginning, I felt unwell about Stitch. Stitch does not look like a dog. His figure is very strange. He is an alien. And Stitch is bothersome because he broke everything! I did not want to have Stitch. Stitch is like a dog but he walks on two feet. His guitar playing is good. I did not think so before listening to him play the guitar. Stitch can do a lot of things! I felt envious about it but Stitch broke everything. I don’t know why, but I hold Stitch dear. When Stitch looked depressed, it was cute, I thought. I like the scene which atrocious Stitch amended his conduct to mild Stitch. Stitch had not only overcome his instinct but he got a lot of feelings. He wants his family. The good scene in this movie is Stitch’s development. Another funny point is the man who had ice cream but could not eat it 3 times. I am anxious about him. The scene in which Stitch and a baby exchange candy and the baby’s bottle is very interesting. It was beyond my expectation that I hold Stitch dear. This movie is very interesting. Family is very important.

However I sometimes sleep in this class these days. I wrote only Washington, George before. It is interesting for me to research a lot of words but this class is very bored for me.

My favorite motto

My favorite motto is that procrastination is the thief of time. It is a proverb. I sometimes exploit these words. I am indecisive character and I am not active. Mainly when I apply a part-time job, I remember the proverb and I apply the work immediately. So I became to set about something. And I became activity a little. I have to make a great point of being on time because I always late for the waiting. It is not good to make them wait. I have to have time on my side. I am always hectic at all times. I do not have to trouble them. I want to be a person who has a sense of responsibility.

Romeo and Juliet

Romeo and Juliet is a very famous story. The story starts from Tybalt and Benvolio’s scuffle. Tybalt is Juliet’s cousin and Benvolio is Romeo’s cousin. They are on very bad terms. Romeo who the only son of the Montagues who fell in love with a girl. His friend whose name is Mercutio and Benvolio took Romeo to the Capulet’s party in an attempt to give encouragement to him. Montague and Capulet is very tense relationship. So if they are found at the party, Capulet may turn them out. Then Romeo met Juliet. He fell in love with Juliet. For some time, Romeo left there but he wanted to see her. And he climbed the wall and met her. Then they swore eternal love to each other. And they decided to get married. Romeo promised to send a messenger to Juliet tomorrow morning. Then Romeo said good night and he left there. Romeo went to the church and met a father. He talked about the marriage. He cooperated with it and he thought that the relationship between Montagues and Capulets would become better. The next day Romeo and Juliet became husband and wife. But it was a bad happening. The Montague and Capulet families can still not stand each other. And Tybalt and Mercutio started abattle using guns. At last Tybalt killed Mercutio. Romeo wanted to love Tybalt but he w as red-hot with anger because Mercutio was killed. He was beside himself with anger and he killed Tybalt. Then he was banished from the town. Juliet knew it and she felt sad. And her father forces her to get married to Paris who is a son of the mayor and he is very popular. Juliet did not want to get married and she consulted with father Lawrence. He had an idea and he gave a medicine bottle to Juliet. If she drinks it, she falls into a state of suspended animation. And everyone think Juliet is dead. Then she goes away with Romeo. The father sent Romeo a letter about this plan. But it couldn’t reach Romeo. Juliet drank the medicine. Romeo thought Juliet had died and he rushed to her. He saw her and he drunk a poison. Juliet awoke and saw Romeo, and then she died.
The beginning of the story, I doubted this movie is really Romeo + Juliet. I had never watched Romeo and Juliet before. But I know the rough story. The term from Romeo and Juliet met to the death is only 4 days. When I heard it, I was very surprised! I could not believe it. To call a spade a spade, this movie is very boring. It doesn’t suit me. When I heard the words of Romeo, I thought he is a poet. Why do they wear aloha shirts? The scene with the fight between Tybalt and Benvolio is as if the conflict is between Mafia families. Juliet’s smile is very cute! I like her. And it is good that Romeo climbed the wall. It is according to the original. And the graveyard is very beautiful! I question sharply the story. At the scene which is divorced from reality, I become want to say it is strange. This movie is mixed the classic and the present strangely, I thought. The image of Romeo and Juliet I had been in my mind is changed due to watch this movie. I want to watch the original.

Ratatouille

Remy is a rat. He has a good nose. So he is a taster for poison because a lot of people　sprinkle poison for rats on the food they put in the garbage. Remy’s father is the boss of　the rats. He was displeased with Remy’s nose, but he makes Remy taste their foods　before eating. Remy and his father can not understand each other. Remy likes to watch　cooking programs. He likes Gusteau who was a chief cook in a very famous restaurant.　He died earlier and his restaurant is a third level class now, but when he was alive, the　restaurant was the very highest class.
One day Remy and his brother trespassed in the kitchen of the house they lived in to　take some spices, but they were discovered by the owner of the house. Then the owner　found all the rats. They ran away but Remy took a cooking book written by Gusteau and　he failed to get out in time and he lost sight of his group. He arrived in Paris. And he　found Gusteau’s restaurant. He snuck into the restaurant and he was found by the　cooks.
There was an odd-job man whose name is Linguini. He cannot cook but he noticed　Remy could cook and he cooperates with Remy to cook. Remy’s dish is very delicious!! His dish became popular. In fact, Linguini is a true son of Gusteau.　Then Linguini got the restaurant and a restaurant critic came there. His name is Ego and he criticized Gusteau’s dishes. He wanted to eat Linguini’s dish. The dish was very delicious and it made him smile. However a health officer found there was a lot of rats and this rumor was spread. So the restaurant was failed but there is a restaurant called Ratatouille and a mouse is the chef.
I had never watched this movie but I know the name of the title. I did not know Remy is a rat! I thought Remy is a person. Gusteau said that anyone can cook! It is very important, I think. It is the theme of the movie. Generally rats can not cook and rats in the kitchen are unsanitary. And there is a female cook in the restaurant. It is very difficult for women to become a cook, the cook said. I thought that Remy looked as if he is enjoying eating foods. I became hungry. It is interesting that a person and a rat cook in a three-legged race. It is bad to steal foods in the restaurant. Linguini believes Remy but Remy betray Linguini’s trust. I like the name “little chef.” This name fits Remy. I am interested in France and I want to try cooking French dishes someday. I want to go to Remy’s restaurant and want to eat his dishes.

They were scolded by their mother, and they went to the party. The party warmed up and spot lights lighted on the boy and the girl suddenly. They went up the small stage and the music played. They had to sing the song. The boy was embarrassed but sang the song. After he finished his part, he was about leave there but the girl sang, too. Her voice was very beautiful and they became happy to singing together.
After one week, the school started. Troy belongs to a basketball club called “Wild Cats” and he is the captain and he is a general favorite. A transfer student come East high school Troy goes to. The girl’s name is Gabriella and she is an honor student who is an expert at science and mathematics and she has won a prize before. Troy knows the girl who sang together on the New Year’s Eve is in the same class then he talks to Gabriella. There are a lot of events in the school at the time. For example, there are basketball final game, contest, and musical. Troy wants to entry the musical audition but Gabriella does not want to do it. Troy and Gabriella watched the audition together and she entries it, but the entry time passed. Still, the pianist played and Troy and Gabriella joined in and sing. The teacher listens in and says come to the second screening.
The next day, the basketball team members know Troy and Gabriella stay in second screening. They are opposed to join the musical. Because of joining the musical, the team was lacing unity. But they know that Troy and Gabriella want to sing soberly. They understand it and cooperate with Troy and Gabriella. At second audition, team member and club member watch the audition Troy and Gabriella sing. At last they won the audition, and Gabriella won the contest. In the game, Troy shoots just before finishing the game and Wild Cats win!
It is the first time to watch a musical movie. I was interested in a musical, but I did not have time to watch musical movies. It is very interesting movie. I like it. Everyone have some secrets can not say. I have some secrets, too. Everyone has oneself imaged. If I do something which is different from my image, my friends amazing and may say that what are you doing? It is weak point about sing in front of others, too. But it is interesting to sing songs. It is very difficult to open own heart. There is hardly any person who does everything grandly. I always worry about what other people think. So I can not lay bare. Everyone has another me. It is good to challenge new things. The music is very nice.

I kept a slovenly way of living for the holiday. I am a night person. I have to correct this living. But it is very difficult for me to correct it. My eating habits is irregularity, too. Last year my friend felt pity for me and she gave me part of her dishes.

blog

Yesterday I had a part time job. A customer left there late time and I had to do a lot of things. I could not clear the table after a meal but cooks did not clear... I was busy so they could help me... I am writing blog.

My favorite dessert

I like sweets very much! I like cake, ice cream, crepe, custard pudding, and jelly. I like desserts very much! I always eat chocolates. My favorite chocolate is tirol chocolate. Among other things the best tirol chocolate which I think is kinako mochi chocolate. I always have this chocolate every day. I like Japanese sweets very much. I like zenzai. I do not like ground tea taste, but I like it now. When I eat sweets, I feel happy. I like a parfait very much. I always have gummi candy every day. I always eat on the way to leave the house and go back the home. When something is in my mouth, I feel at rest. Sweet is my important foods.

My favorite clothing

I like casual clothing. I always choose the clothes which wear the day in the morning, so I do not have a lot of time to choose the clothing. In summer, I like to wear T shirt and short pants. I like to wear one piece, too. I do not have to think what clothing I will wear. It is useful for me to wear one piece. I do not like to be thickly clothed. So in winter, I wear light clothes. I do not like a duffel coat. And I do not like a parka. I like a cardigan better than a parka. And I like short pants. I like pants better than skirt. I like clothes very much.

My favorite vacation memory

When the last summer vacation, I went to Kyoto and Osaka. I went shopping with my friend in Osaka and Kyoto. I went to Arashi mountain and Togetsu bridge. It was very hot day in Kyoto. There are very beautiful places. I ate Japanese dessert. It was very delicious! I saw some girls who are studying in Kyoto to be a geisha. They ate a dessert, too. I bought many things. I took many photos. And we went to some temples and shrines. The garden was very beautiful. And when I pulled out omikuji, it had 'Daikichi' written on it. I had very good time there. I went there by a night bus. I do not like it. I do not want to ride it.

My favorite elementary school memory

When I was a elementary school student, I belonged to a badminton club. Before I belonged to the club, I took ballet lessons. But my friends belonged to the badminton club so I belonged to it on the way to the fourth-year student. It was very interesting to play the badminton. But I did not like the teacher, so I went on gradually decreasing to go to the club. And I went to my friend's house when the time to the club. I ate a griddle cake there. When I participated in a badminton game, I and my friend were outplayed. Then my friend cried bitterly because she was very vexed to lose the game. I was vexed, too.

My favorite high school memory

I went to the Luther Gakuin high school before. When I was a first-year student in the high school, I went to Australia in a school trip. I had been there for about 2 weeks. I went to Perth, and there is very beautiful city! I like there. I stayed in my host family’s home. They are very kind me and they have a cat and a dog. I like animals very much so I often played with them. I went to many beautiful places. I went shopping with my friends. I lived to the full in Australia. I want to go to Australia again. And I want to meet my host family again. When I meet them again, I want to say thank you.

My favorite clubs/circle

I like to play tennis. So I belonged to a tennis club when I was a junior high school student. My position was a forward. A forward player can smash a ball. When I succeed in the smash, I feel very good! It is very interesting. I do not play tennis these days, so I want to play it with my friends someday. My junior high school friends are live in outside the prefecture now, so it is difficult to gather together. I do not belong to any circle or clubs now because I feel tired of join circle. When I was a high school student, I did not belong to any clubs, too. But I played tennis with my friends from time to tome.

My favorite drink

I like juice. But I always drink a barley tea. When I go to a restaurant, I order ginger ale or a cola. I like these juices. I could not drink a coffee, but I can drink it now. When I worked at a restaurant, the owner gave me a coffee every time so I can drink it. I also could not drink a black tea. I like sweet drink. My favorite drink is Dr Pepper. Do you know it? In America, many people may know this drink, but in Japan, most people do not know it, I think. Cola is more famous than Dr Pepper in Japan. I often buy it at PLAZA. Some people do not like the flavor but I like this flavor very much.

My favorite music

I like music very much. I always listen to music every day. These days I think that I may like a minor singer. KOKIA and Daichi Miura are not famous singers, I think. I like Japanese pop. I do not listen foreign music. I like BoA too. Daichi Miura and BoA released a duet song before. I went to the live, but I could not see the duet live. On the next day, they could see the duet. My favorite song is "Arigatou" sung by KOKIA. This song is known by some people, I think. It was link up with a TV. If some people listen to the song, they may know it. I like the words of the song.

My favorite junior high memory

When I was a junior high school student, I belonged to a tennis club. The club member is almost the same member when I belonged to a badminton club in the elementary school. The tennis club was very interesting. I went to the club every after school. I was not good tennis player, but I practiced very much. When we were exercising together, we skipped the exercise together and we exercised while playing. On holiday, I sometimes played with the club member. We are very close friends. Of course, I also meet the friends the present time. When we retired the tennis club, we went to a restaurant to retire party. I want to play the tennis with my club member someday.

my favorite animal

I like animal very much. I have 2 dogs with my family. The dogs are mongrel and miniature dachshund. I like them very much. I play with them everyday. However the most favorite animal is not dogs. I like cats the best. I had some cats before, but I do not have them now. I want to have a cat because a live alone by oneself person can not have a pet. I live with my family now, but I may not live with my family in the future. But in my house, there is a dog so it is difficult for a cat to live with the dog. I want to sleep with them. And I want to play with them. It is very interesting.

my favorite season

I like autumn and I do not like summer because I do not like hot. I like spring but I like autumn better than spring. When I was a high school student, I always went to home by bicycle. Then I like the time to go home in autumn. The wind is cool and I like the air. Autumn is not hot and not cold. I like the peculiar to that atmosphere very much. I like the smell of autumn. In autumn, it is not hot and cold, it is good for me. I like to watch many people in autumn. They walk fast because it becomes cold. I like the seasonal change autumn to winter. I am looking forward to come the season every year.

I held out to not sleep but When a performer played the piano, I became sleepy. At last I slept when the chorus. When the interval, we drank a juice and talked. The performance had started before we knew it. So we wemt to 3rd floor and sat down the hindmost seats because it was hard to come back the seat in the middle of the concert. We could see the stage but it was looked very small. It was very interesting as if there was a special seat. After all we slept. After finished the concert, we went to the town and we ate because I was very hungry. Then we went to karaoke. There was very small room. After I came home, I am preparing the trip.

One day, he studied for English test. He consulted a word “Aquarius” by chance. He was impressed the mean. After that he wanted to know a lot of English words. He became understand English grammar thanks to teacher. He continued to study when he was a high school student. He wanted to study more; he decided to go to university. At the beginng of university life, he couldn’t become familiar with this university. The premises were much bigger than high school. He was at a loss. However, He gradually used to spend time in KGU. We enjoy spending time in KGU. Anyway, some students are going to go foreign countries. We heard that almost students will go to Minnesota. We were at a loss whether to go or not. But, our English skills are not enough to communicate other people. So, we decided to go home stay next year. We would like to demonstrate our English skills in society in the future! Teachers of KGU are very nice teachers, because they teach me very gently and intelligible. Classes are very difficult for us. But thanks to the teacher, we can understand the content. And, the teacher turns the boring class into the amazing class, so we can take the class without we are not bored. Moreover native speaker are in KGU, so we can learn native pronunciation. We like to speak to foreign people, so we are interested in speak to the teacher.
And, there are a lot of circles in the university. You may find a circle which you are interested in. If you join a circle, you will have a lot of friends. For example, you will have ahead of you, behind of you, and same grade friends. And you will have not only same faculty and department, not only different faculty friends. They learn different subject, it may be good stimulus. And you will have good time there. Kumamoto Gakuen University has good facilities. There are a lot of people who KGU has big buildings and their rooms are so wide. So, professors often use mike. There is a good place that we like in KGU. It is school library. There are so many books that we cannot count. School library is quiet and we can calm down. We often use it because we have to finish my assignments.
Thirdly, a students’ dining hall is large. And the lunch is very cheap and delicious! All Dishes are handmade, we like these. We have eaten dishes of these shops since Kozue was high school student, so she ate almost menu. You should eat there. However there are a lot of people, so you may not sit and eat there. There is a lot of menu and you will not enough these lunch. There is a convenience store. It is LAWSON. There are a lot of people, too and there is crowded when the lunch time, so you need to pay attention. If you always buy at the LAWSON, you will be saved a lot of points of LAWSON.

In a particular occasion, there are displayed a lot of kimono to ware on a coming of age celebration and a graduation ceremony. There is a bakery in the university. There are a lot of people when the lunch time, too. This bakery has broadcasted on TV before, I heard. There is cheap and delicious. And there are a lot of breads so you may be irresolute which buy.
