Essay 2-6 Learning with computer

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.

As can be seen, studying with computer have good points and bad points. [347w-840w]

Essay 2-5 Kumamoto! Kumamoto? Kumamoto!!

I live in Kumamoto for 14 years. I moved to Kumamoto when I was six. I do not well about Kumamoto and I do not think I am not being to Kumamoto, but it is OK. I will try to write about it.

Kumamoto is a one of the prefecture of Japan. It is in south of Japan. Summer is very hot and humid. Winter is very cold. Some time, snow falls. I live in Kumamoto city. My house is placed near down town of Kumamoto city. Kumamoto city is capital city of Kumamoto.
In Kumamoto city, there is Kumaomto castle. Kumamoto castle build by Kiyomasa Kato. He was a top of general and master of architect. He is said very good at building of Ishigaki wall. We can into the castle. In the castle, many staffs are displayed, such a Japanese katana sword and Shach hoko. You can go top of the castle and see view of Kumamoto city. In new years day, there are many people come to top of the castle to see rising of the sun. I have been to top of the castle once or twice when I was a child. I remember I cried. I hate high places. If you were lackey, you can see some ninja in the field of the castle.
I like more Kumamoto museum than Kumamoto castle. Kumamoto museum is near the Kumamotocastle. I used to go there many times when I was elementary school. Having school name plate, pupils could enter into the museum for free of charge.

In aso city, there is Mt. Aso. Mt Aso has great caldera. Its caldera is in kind of very big one all over the world. There are field which called Kusa senri in Mt. aso. That is a sightseeing spot I think. I have visited there three or four times. There are many shops, and cow and horses. You can ride horses if you pay charge.

Kumamoto people eat meat of horse. That is very famous. The low meat of horse is called basashi. You can cook horse meat many way. The horse of meat is very good I think. You should try it.

Do you want to go Kumamoto? I hope you like it.

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.

Movie review 2-01 Mrs. Doubtfire


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

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]

Website review 2-01


I will introduce this site "IUCN Red List of Threatened Species" http://www.iucnredlist.org/. This is one of the site of IUCN. IUCN is a organization which do campaign activity for protect threatened species. IUCN is stands for International Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources. IUCN is established in 1945.

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.

IUCN Red List of Threatened Species
You 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. [386w - 1540w]

Essay1-05 My Language Learning History

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]
