This book is difficult to read, because there were many words that I don't know. So it takes about 40 minutes to finish reading. But this book is moving story and intersting. First, I thought he is compassionate and this book is a sad story, but it is wrong. He is a strog-minded boy, and this book is moving story. I could learn a positive view of life from this book.

2010-01-08T09:22:00.000+09:00

Frankly speaking, this book is a love story. But I have never read such a love story. This love story is peculiar. Usualy most love story with a happy ending, but this story is not. The characters are Paul and Maria. Paul is poor and Maria is rich. They loved each other, but Maria's mother was against them marriage. I thought although her mother against them marriage, they will get married. But they didn't. What is more, They disliked each other. I was surprised. This book is easy to read and interesting. I want to read love story again!!

Speaking☆Other group idea

2009-12-23T22:26:00.006+09:00

I discussed with Saki, Yui and Shiori. They thought to improve KGU parking. There are no KGU parking area, so many people rent parking area in Kengeki by paying 400yen, but sometimes, KGU students can't rent parking area. KGU students can rent parking privately near KGU, but it cost to rent parking about 8000yen for a month. KGU students can't go to KGU by car. So Saki, Yui and Shiori advised increasing parking area near KGU, but there are no space near KGU. So they advised making sky park. It is unique idea, but I disagree with the idea, because the sky park will cost a great deal. They said "The cost to building a sky park use a part of school expenses, and KGU students who use a sky parking have to pay 5000yen for a month." It is a good idea. If the sky park is built, many KGU students will be able to go to KGU by car. But it takes many hours to building sky park. We can't use sky park soon. Sky parking is good and unique idea, but I disagree with the idea. I was glad to discuss with Saki, Yui and Shiori and hear their idea.

Speaking☆My group's project idea

2009-12-23T18:46:00.006+09:00

We thought to improve student cafeteria at KGU. In our survey, 79percent KGU students want to improve KGU cafeteria. We asked them Why do you want KGU student cafeteria to improve? Then 82 percent students answered because KGU students cafeteria's menu is a few. Then we asked them How menu do you want in KGU student cafeteria? Many boys students answered they want to increase more volumy menu. In the truth, popurer menu with boys students is Katsu rice, Katsu carry and Sutaminadon all of which are volumy menu. Boys students want more volumy menu in KGU student cafeteria. So our idea is increasing volumy menu like a hamburger don and hamburger set meal for boys students. Humburger is volumy food, and there are no humburger menu in KGU student cafeteria. What is more most people like a humburger.
Then many girls students answered they want to increase more healthy menu in KGU student cafeteria. Many girls students are on diet and want to lose their weight. Now there are no healthy menu. Populrer menu by girls students are Tantanmen, Ichizenhayasi and Udon all of which were low calorie food. But girls students want more low calorie food. So our idea is increasing healthy menu like a salad or low calorie set meal. A low calorie set meal which is used Japanese food mainly. For example, a fish set meal and Tohu hunburger set meal and so on.
Then many students want KGU student cafeteria to low the price of menu. The popular menu's price were 400~500yen. If we eat them about three times a week, we must pay 4800~6000yen for a month. It is expensive for student. We asked students What KGU student cafeteria's menu do you eat most frequent? Boys student answered Sutaminadon, Katsu raice and Katsu carry. Girls students answered Ichizenhayashi, Tantanmen and Udon. Katsu rice and Sutaminadon and Ichizenhayashi and Udon are relatively low price. But the price of menu are expensive. When I went to Kumamoto university's student cafeteria, I saw cafeteria's menu. Then I was surprised, because the price of menu were cheap. Kumamoto university's student cafeteria is about 30~50 yen lower than KGU student cafeteria. It is difficult to cost down, but if it can do it, many KGU students will be glad and cafeteria more enlived.
Although we want KGU student cafeteria to improve more, many KGU students like KGU student cafeteria, and often go KGU student cafeteria.

Essay 2-03b

2009-12-22T23:26:00.000+09:00

Learning languages are not easy. I have learned two languages so far. One is English. The other is French. English was spoken by many countries, and in these days of globalization, learning English is important. I study English to the future, and also like studying English. I like French food and interested in French. I will go to French in near the future, so I studied French. Learning French is also important for me. I want to write about my learning languages stories.Before I studied English in elementary school, I didn’t even know the alphabet. I learned alphabet with singing alphabet’s music. I like singing alphabet’s music. So I could learn the alphabet soon. Then I studied a basic grammar and some words. I took English licensing examination two times, when I was in first year of a junior high school student, I was qualified forth of English license. I was very happy. Then I studied English hard to get a forth of English license. Then when I was in third of junior high school student, I could get a third of English license. The more I study English, the more I was interested in English. I enjoyed studying English.

When I was high school student, I studied English. I was belong to English club. I spoke with an international student in English at English club. I was also exchanging letters with some Americans who study Japanese in American high school. I began to study English more through this English club. When I was in second of high school student, I took a semi-second of English license examination. But I couldn’t get a semi-second of English license. I lost confidence in my English. After that when I was in third year of high school, I especially study English hard to take an entrance examination. After the entrance examination, I took English licensing examination again. Although I couldn’t get a semi-second English examination, I took a second of English examination. When I am qualified second of English license, I was glad. Then I studied English actively. I took part in English speech contest. I felt English pronunciation is difficult again, so practiced English speech with a teacher many times. It is good memory.

Now, I study English at KGU everyday. Writing, speaking, reading. I speak English at speaking class. It is interesting. I write English at writing class. Sometimes writing English difficult, but it is good for me. I read an English language newspaper at reading class. Many teachers teach me English kindly, but my English skill is not so well. I have to study English harder.

Second, I want to write about French. When I was in my first year at KGU, I learned French for the first time. French is different from English. Pronunciation, grammar and French words. Studying French was difficult for me. I learned French step by step. I didn’t like studying French at first. But the more I study French, the more I could understand French. So I came to like studying French. Needless to say, I study French all night the day before the exam. But it is good memory.

I have learned two languages so far. Learning language is not easy for me. But the more I study language, the more I like studying language. Now I study only English. But if I have a time, I want to study French again. In these days of globalization, learning language is important, and useful for us.

BR 2-08 "Marty and the magazine Maga"

2009-12-22T16:42:00.000+09:00

This book's picture peculiar compare with others, so I am interested in this book. There are CD shop where Joe and Marty go often after school. One day, when Marty waiting to pay for CD at the checkout counter, he looked Joe lifting a magazine. Marty was very surprised and his heart was going so fast. A shop assistant didn't joe at all. After , Marty paid for CD, they left CD shop and Joe pulled the magazine. Marty said he looked joe lifted a magazine. Joe hoped no one elso saw him and started to look at the magazine. Joe felt a sick. Then Joe's mum came to them by chance and found the magazine. She said "Where did you get that magazine from Joe?" "It's Marty's," said Joe. Marty protected Joe. Then Joe return the magazine to CD shop.
Joe and Marty had been friends since they were small, but Marty thought Joe something had changed now. He is not what he was. Marty met Joe at school and Joe said to Marty "Hi" and Marty said "Hi" back, but he didn't feel like talking to Joe. He felt He was talking to someone he didn't know. Then Joe was no longer Marty's friend.
I hoped Joe and Marty make up, but it didn't. I felt sad. This is sad and painful story, but I sympathized with Marty. I have felt my good friend changed, and she is not what she was. I felt sad and don't want to talk the friend. I think a person continue to be change with growing, and it is good change or bad change. If I and you felt our friend changed bad way, we should say "You are wrong," If there are a close bond of friendship, we will be able to say it and friend will understand. I thought Marty shoud have said Joe "You are wrong, I don't want you to lift!" Although I understand Marty's feelings, Marty should help Joe if they are truth fiends and Marty likes Joe.

Kagoshima

2009-12-20T23:43:00.002+09:00

The alarm went off in many places at 8;00, but nobody would get up. We got up at 8;30 after all. Although we had a good night's rest, we overslept and had to go to eat breakfast in the hurry. Breakfast is Japanese food and delisious, too. We didn't talk so much because we have been difficult to get up since we were child. I thought they were unchange and same when they were child. I was glad.

After we ate breakfast, we got ready. We made up for an hour. When we left our room, I felt sad. Although I stayed only overnight, I made many memories in this room. This room is comfortable, I like this room.

We decided to go to Kagoshima aquarium last night, so we went to Kagoshima aquarium. Kagoshima aquarium is near the hotel, so we arrived there soon. When we went to an entrance of Kagoshima aquarium, Kagoshima aquarium opened. It was good timing. There was a big shark called Jinbei zame and there were many kinds of fish in a big water plant. Jinbei zame was so big that I was surprised. I looked jinbei zame for a while. I could watch jinbei zame eating fish bait. Contrary to general belief, jinbei zame's fishbait was small, but jinbei zame's mouth was so big. An adult will be able to enter jinbei zame's mouth. To my surprise, jinbei zame that was in a big water plant was a chiled. How big are adult jinbei zame. We were excited and looked at a big water plant for a while. I felt mysterious and thought how wonderful to swim in water for a long time. Then I found a peculiar fish. I said "What's that?" My friend was also surprised and laughted by it and said "Is that a fish? How slender it is!" The creature like a fish was slender and look like a big earthworm. The creature swam oddly. I have never looked such a creature. I was interested in it and wanted to know it's name and This creature is whether fish or not, but I didn't know anything about it. Then we watched many creatures which live in water. I thought there were many creatures that I don't know in the earth. I thought medusan is bautiful for the fast time. They swam in blue water elegantly. A big clib was fearful, but looks delicious. I watched a conger called chinanago. It didn't swim and it was coming up in the sand. It is white and very very slender. I couldn't believe it is a conger. Then I found a model of adult jinbei zame. It was so big that I and friends were surprised. All of us could enter jinbei zame's mouth together easly. We took a picture in jinbei zame's mouth. I want to watch adult jinbei zame in the real. Then we watched a sea turtle's baby. Although a sea turtles are bug, baby was small and cute. I felt pouwer of life. Then I touched a starfish but other friends would not touch a starfish. I took a picture with a starfish. I also touched a sea cucumber. It was black and soft. I was called namako by some people so I felt close to it. Touching a starfish and a sea cucumber was good experience. Thank you a starfish and a sea cucumber. A starfish didn't move at all, so I worried if a starfish was living. It is said "A starfish move very slowly. Although you put a starfish upside down, they can recover. It will took long time to recover." on a sign. "Funny!" everyone said and laughed at it. Then we watched the show of a sea otter. They were so cute and good at swim. A show of a sea otter was interesting. We watched a show of dolphin, too. Many people came to watzh a show of dolphin. Dolphins were so big and they swam fast. Why they understand what human say? They were so clever. A show of dolphin was interesting, too. After a show of dolphin, we went to a souvenir shop. There were many souvenirs of Kagoshima aquarium in souvenir shop. A key ring of dolphin and a sea toter were so cute. We were excited. I bought some key rings. My friends bought many souvenirs in the shop, too.

After we left Kagoshima aquarium, we went to eat lunch. We wanted to eat Kurobuta tonkatsu. So we went to a restaurant that making food of Kagoshima. I ordered a food like a ochazuke which was Kagoshima's food and called Keikadon. I have never eaten and heard, so I worryed if I like it. Other friends ordered a ramen and kurobuta and so on. Every foods were rare food so we were bubbling. Keikadon was delicious and flavor was like a ochazuke. Kurobuta tonkatsu is delisious! I have never eaten such a tonkatsu. This kurobuta tonkatsu have a lot of collagen. We can't eat such a tonkatsu in Kumamoto. Then we ate mango ice cream. We were full and satisfied.

We went sightseeing and bought souvenir. We bought many souvenirs because there are many coted products in Kagoshima. I bought a caramel which taste is a sweet potato. It must be delicious, and a sweet potato pie and a sweet potato talto. I like a sweet potato so I bought many food which tatse is a sweet potato. I bought cookies which shape is Saigou Takamori. Saigou Takamori is from Kagoshima and he is famous as one of people who made Japanese history. We watched his bronze statue in many place of Kagoshima. Saigou Takamori is respected and popular by many people in Kagoshima. My friend bought a clear distilled liquor which called shouchu in Japanese. Kagoshima is famous for shouchu so there were many kinds of shouchu. It is difficult for my friend to decide what kind of shouchu she buy. It took 30 minutes to decide what shouchu she buy. All of us were satisfied with shopping so we returned to Kumamoto. I like Kumamoto but I wanted to stay more in Kagoshima.

We dropped in rest station again. I bought shoronpou again. I love syoronpou. Except for driver, everyone slept in car. When we dropped in rest station second time, driver Riho said "I felt sleep and I want to sleep, too" We were surprised and felt danger so. I bought Minmindaha which is likes a kind of drug to keep awake for Riho. We talked where we travel next time. We are going to travel again.

When we returned to Kumamoto, we were tired but also glad. I thought Kagoshima was good place but also Kumamoto was good place. When I say to my friends good bye, I felt very sad, but we promissed we travel together again.

I had a good time with my best friends for two days. I experienced many things I have never done and watched many things I have never seen and ate many foods I have never eaten. Traveling was good thing. I could make many memoris with best friends. I will never forget this experiences and memories. If I and my friends have free time, I want to travel again!

Travel to Kagoshima from 12/19~20

2009-12-19T18:48:00.001+09:00

I have traveled to Kagoshima with my friends for two days. Akuka, Akane, Eri, Riho are my friends who played volleyball together when I was small. We gethered at Kamikumamoto station at 11;00. Then we went to Kagoshima by car and moved on a superhighway.

It took about 2hours to go to Kagoshima and we enjoyed driving. I like driving on a superhighway because there are some rest stations on the way of a superhighway. There are many delicious local food in rest station. We droped in rest station two times. There were many food which were rare. We were excited and bought many foods.

When I dropped in rest station at the first time, I bought syouronpou which are sold most of rest station and popular by many people. I like syoronpou and I always buy syoronpou when I dropped in rest station. I also bought tenpura in cheese and norimochi. Norimochi is famous for Kagoshima, and it's sauce is very much with mochi and nori. What is more, norimochi is cheap, it is only 80 yen. If you go to Kagoshima's rest station, please buy norimochi!!

When I dropped in rest station second time, I bought a soft ice cream which taste is a sweet potato. If I go to Kagoshima, I decided to eat a soft ice cream which taste is a sweet potato. Sweet potatoes are special product of Kagoshima, so there are soft ice cream which taste is a sweet potato in Kagoshima. I can't easily eat a soft cream which taste is a sweet potato in Kumamoto. When I found a soft ice cream which taste is a sweet potato in Kagoshima's rest station, I was excited and bought it soon. It is delicious, I was satisfied that I came to Kagoshima.

When we arrived at Kagoshima, we got lost. We didn't know where we were and where the hotel which we stay at an inn, so we went to the shrine and asked a man. To my surprise, the hotel is near the shrine. We could found the hotel from the shrine. It took 1 minutes to go to the hotel from the shrine. We were laughed at it.

We arrived hotel at 6;00. When we went in the room, we felt relieved. We drunk a cup of tea. We talked for a short while. Then we were hungry, so we went to eat a dinner. A dinner is Japanese food and looks delicious. We were excited. There were noted product in dinner. Kurobuta, Youkan which taste is sweet, jidori and so on. I thought Kagoshima's taste of food is sweeter than Kumamoto. Kagoshima's syouyu is sweet. We enjoyed dinner. It was good experience.

When we return to our room, two womans were putting a sheet over the futon. We said "Thanks" And two womans said to us "Where did you come from?" We said "We came from Kumamoto," Two womans were surprised and said "Oh really? Your dialect was different from us," I said "Yes, I felt strange because many people's pronunciation is different from me. Did you notice?," A woman said "Yes, of cause. Don't worry. I think your dialect is good," I said "Thank you, I think Kagoshima's dislect is different from Kumamoto but good, too. It is interesting." Then we talked about the difference between Kagoshima and Kumamoto. And we asked a noted place of Kagoshima. They taught us kindly. I could know about Kagoshima, and they could know about Kumamoto, too. It was interesting.

The hotel where we stay is near downtown in Kagoshima. I said "I want to go and see downtown in Kagoshima," Asuka and Akane said "That's a good idea. I want to go to downtown, too," Eri and Riho said "I was tired and want to take a rest. I will stay here," I and Asuka and Akane go to downtown in Kagoshima. Downtown in Kagoshima is smaller than that of Kumamoto and cute. We were excited and enjoyed shopping and sightseeing. I wanted to play at downtown but we had to return to hotel until 11:00 because a hot spring in hotel was be going to close at 11;00 so we returned to hotel at 9;00. When we returned to hotel, we asked some young person where is a convenience store near. Young person taught us kindly, and they said "Where did you came?" I said "We came from Kumamoto," They said "Really? What to do?" I said "To travell" They said "Wow! Please speak something in dialect of Kumamoto," I said "Of cause" and spoke in dealect of Kumamoto, but they didn't understand what I said well and said "It is hard foe me to understand what you said, Kumamoto dialect is deffrent from dialect of Kagoshima but interesting," Isaid "I think so too." We were laughed at it.

After we returned to hotel, Eri and Riho had already taken a hot spring bath and weared Jpanese cloth. We said "Oh cute! Japanese cloth is much you! I want to wear it soon" They said "Thanks, It was good hot spring, You will be relax and recover from the fatigue of your journey," We went to a hot spring soon. The hot spring is not big, but we could be relax and recover from the fatigue of jouney. We enjoyed talking with taking a hot spring bath. After we took a hot spring bath, we went to a convenience store to buy sweets and drinks with a Japanese clothes. It was a cold day and Japanese cloth is thin so we were very cold. Naturally enough, when we arrived a convenience store, a shop assistant looks be surprised. He was glancing us.

After we returned to hotel, we started to party. We ate and drunk a lot. We talked a lot. About when we were child and played volleyball together, our supervisor, our boyfriend, our future and so on. It was interesting. I had a good friends. They are my friends and teammate forever. Then we went to bed at 2;00.

Learning languages are not easy. I have learned two languages so far. One is English. The other is French. I want to write about my learning language stories.

Before I studied English in elementary school, I didn’t even know the alphabet. I learned alphabet with singing alphabet’s music. I like singing alphabet’s music. So I could learn the alphabet soon. Then I studied a basic grammar and some words. The more I study English, the more I was interested in English. I took English licensing examination two times, when I was a junior high school student, I am qualified third grade of English license.

Today, I went for a drive with my friends. We want to see colored leaves, so we went to Takachiho which is famous for the view of colored leaves in Miyazaki.

At first, we bought lunch in Macdnald's drive through. There were too many people to buy lunch smoothly. My friends worked at Macdnald. She was looks busy, I admired her. Then I bought Macpork and a apple pie and a cup of tie. Macdnald is delicious and reasonable, so I often go to Macdnald. I always eat Macpork and think Macpork is the best humburgar. What Macdnald's humburger do you like? Do you often go to Macdnald?

Then we enjoyed talking with eating lunch in my friend's car. When we go to Takachiho, we found "Tsujunkyo". I went to "Tsujunkyo" when I was a 9 years old. "Tsujunkyo" is a big dam it was made from many stones. Taujunkyo was built old years ago and wasn't used now. I wanted to see Tsujunkyo again, so I said "I want to go to Tsujunkyo after a long time, Let's go" Hikari and Ayaka said "I have gone to Tsujunkyo befor, too. I want to go there. Let's go!" Then we went to Tsujunkyo. I and Ayaka bought a sweet potato baked in hot pebbles. It is cold day, so a sweet potato baked in hot pebbles felt very hot and delicious. But the sweet potato which we bought was too big to eat it all soon. We walked to Tsujunkyo with eating a sweet potato baked in hot pebbles. Tsujinkyo was so big and old. I felt Tsujunkyo was smaller than before. I felt long Japanese history from Tsujunkyo. We climbed onto Taujunkyo. It was so high that we were excited and could not see around. There are no fence around Tsujunkyo, so it was very dengerous. We got a thrill from Tsujunkyo. Reft side of this post is a picture which I took from the top of Tsjunkyo. I regret that I can't teach you this thrill. If you are interested in Tsujunkyo, please click this link which have information about Tsujunkyo.

We went to Takachiho after we enjoyed seeing Tsjunkyo. It took about 30 minutes to go to Takachiho from Tsujunkyo. When we arrived at Takachiho, there were many people. There was a big waterfall in Takachiho and people can row a boat under the waterfall by paying money. Many couples rowed a boat and looks happy. We wanted to row a boat, but it was a cold day, so we didn't row a boat. If we go to Takachiho in a hot day again, we will row a boat! There were big nature and the air was clear. We breathed fresh air and felt fresh. We enjoyed seeing a view with walking. We found some rice cake which was grilled by a charcoal fire. I like a rice cake and it looked dericious, so we bought a rice cake. The rice cake was fixed on a skewer and put miso on rice cake! Smell is also good. We wait a rice cake finished baking. I talked a worman who baked a rice cake. I said "Do you buy this rice cake in summer, too?" She said "No, I buy this rice cake only in winter, but I buy other food in summer." I said "Oh! really? How food do you buy in summer?" She said "It is difficult to explain, but it is delisious and famous by many people, too." I said "I want to eat it! I will come here in winter again and eat it!" Then a rice cake have been baked and we ate it with seeing a view of colored leaves. It was delicious. I have never eaten such a rice cake. If you go to Takachiho, please eat it!

After eating a rice cake, we went to a souvenir shop. There were many souvenir goods of a local area in the souvenir shop. Takachiho is in Miyazaki, so there were mango chips and chicken and Higashikokubaru prefecture goods in the shop. Every goods were no in Kumamoto. We bought smoked chicken in the shop. It looks delicious and reasonable. Then we ate it in my friend's car. I don't like a smoked chicken because a smoked chicken was hard. I can good examination because chicken was famous as a noted product.

Then we went to Kumamoto. When we arrived at Kumamoto, we were hangry, so we went to Sushiich, but there were too many people to eat soon. We went to Cocoichi next time. We ate curry and rice.

To Kill a Mockingbird

I watched To Kill a Mockingbird in a class. I haven't known Kill a Mockingbird before then. I heard To Kill a Mockingbird is one of a good literary work in America. To Kill a Mockingbird is read as a textbook, so most of Americans know it.

To Kill a Mockingbird is written about racial discrimination which have done the South. I knew there are racial discrimination in America, but I didn't know how it is. So I was shocked by the movie, When I watched To Kill a Mockingbird. I thought this is a deep story. I could know about racial discrimination a little. But I will not be able to understand about all of racial discrimination forever. The important thing is a feelings we want to understand or know racial discrimination and we must not do like that forever.

190 words

We can know not only racial discrimination but also simple life of the South. This movie has the flavor of the South and interesting.

Please watch To Kill a Mockingbird. This is a movie which we should watch at least a once time in a lifetime.

I have learned two languages so far. One is English. When I was junior high school student, I learned English for the first time. I didn’t know anything about English at the time. Then I have been studying English for 7 years. I have to study English harder. Now I study English at KGU. English is my favorite subject. The other is French. When I was a KGU student, I learned French for the first time. I have never learned French so far. Studying French was difficult for me. Many things was happened while I studied English and French. Learning language is not easy. I want to write about my learning language stories.

First, I want to write about English. First English lesson is learning the alphabet. I didn’t know even the alphabet. I learned alphabet with singing alphabet’s music. I like singing alphabet’s music. So I could learn the alphabet soon. Then I studied a basic grammar and some words. The more I study English, the more I was interested in English. I took English licensing examination two times, when I was a junior high school student, I am qualified third grade of English license.

When I was high school student, I studied English. I was belong to English club. I spoke with an international student in English at English club. When I was in third year of elementary school, I especially study English hard to take an entrance examination. After the entrance examination, I took English licensing examination. When I am qualified second of English license, I was glad. Then I studied English actively. I took part in English speech contest. I felt English pronunciation is difficult again. I practiced English speech with teacher many times. It is good memory.

Now, I study English at KGU everyday. Writing, speaking, reading. I speak English at speaking class. It is interesting. I write English at writing class. Sometimes writing English difficult, but it is good for me. I read an English language newspaper at reading class. Many teachers teach me English kindly. But my English skill is not so well. I have to study English harder.

Second, I want to write about French. When I was in my first year at KGU, I learned French for the first time. French is different from English. Pronunciation, grammar and French words. Studying French was difficult for me. I learned French step by step. I didn’t like studying French at first. But the more I study French, the more I could understand French. So I came to like studying French. Needless to say, I study French all night the day before the exam. But it is good memory.

I have learned two languages so far. Learning language is not easy for me. But the more I study language, the more I like studying language. Now I study only English. But if I have a time, I want to study French again. In these days of globalization, learning language is important, and useful for us.

I will talk about Boom. In those days of recession, many people need laughing, and we often laugh by watching a comedy program. Many comedians appear on TV everyday so it is difficult for us to remenber them. Now comedy is boom in Japan.

Many comedians compete each other in entertainment world everyday. Most of comedians are funny and set the audience laughing with their jokes. They make us happy, but some comedians who plaied on active role in the entertainment world temporarily is called a single shot person. Single shot person is called "ippatuya" in Japanese. I wish they appear on TV again.

Which comedian do you like? I like Culeam sityu because they are from Kumamoto and they are smart and their talk is interesting. I think this is the best season for Hannya and ordrea. Hannya's joke is interesting. And Kanada is a nice guy so he is a popular with young people. My friend Chisako she likes Kanada very much. Kanada have come to Mitsui grean land which is in Arao, and Chisako and Hikari went to Mitsui grean land to see Kanada. They left thier home at early morning, but there were many people who come to grean land to see Kanada. ordrea is olso interesting comedians. Especially Kasuga is an unique character, so Kasuga is also popular with young people. I like Kasuga because he is a cool guy. He doesn't have sideburns now but if he has long sideburns, he will become cooler guy. I wish hannya and ordrea survive in entertainment world.

In those days of recession, many people need laughing. comedian set the audience laughing with thir jokes. I wish comedy boom continue forever.

2009-10-10T17:39:00.000+09:00

I will talk about Kana Miura. She is KGU student and 20 years old. Her birthday is 6.16 and type of blood is A but she looks B type. I met Kana at KGU. First I didn't talk with Kana, but I and Kana have made a good friend all too soon. Her personality is cool and a little reticent person. Her personality is different from my personality, but I like her and we get along with each other. Sometimes she said funny thing like a joke and I often laugh at the joke. Kana is interesting.

Now I will talk about Kana's family. There are 5 people in her family. She is oldest daughter. Her father is a teacher. He teaches about personal computer. I said "I envy you because she can be taught about personal computer when you trouble with personal computer. Although I often use a personal conmuter I don't use my computer well, so If I have a father like yours I will not worry about personal computer" Kana said "You are wrong. I don't be taught about personal cpmputer by my father because I have a quarrel with my father" Then her father's hobby is playing tennis. It is very cool, but Kana have never played tennis. Kana's father is cool.

Her mother is a care worker. She works hard everyday and she is a hard worker. Her hobby is flower arrangement. It is very good hobby. Kana make flower arrangement sometimes, too. Kana made flower arrangement for her mother. I saw it, and it was very cute and hot warming. I want to flower arrangement. Kana's mother is also good person.

She has two younger sister. One of them likes painting a picture, and she is good at painting a picture. Her dream is being a painter. Kana says "My sister is a Otaku." I have met Kana's sister and I thought she looks like a painter! Kana's sister don't resemble to Kana at all and also looks like a kind person. Kana's sister go to college to study about paint in this spring. If she become a painter, I want her to paint my portrait.

Other younger sister is belong to wind instrument music club. She plays the flute. She is good at playing the flute. I have never played the flute, but I want to play the flute. The woman who plays the flute is beautiful and cute. I want Kana's sister to teach me how to play the flute. I have met Kana's sister, she resembles to Kana very well, but she is a kind different from Kana.

Every Kana's family have each hobby and enjoy it. Kana's family is interesting and I like them.

Second I will talk about Kana's university life. She comes to school by bike. It takes about 20 minutes. She comes to school by bus on a rainy day. Her house is near to school, but Kana always say "My house is far from KGU, so it is hard for me to go to school" and I always say "Kana! You are wrong! Listen to me! It takes an hour or an hour and half minutes to go to KGU! My house is farer than yours"

Kana is belongs to club which is called Viva. Viva research on Beverly Hills, and Kane is interested in Beverly Hills. Viva active on every Wednesday, and she takes part in club activity every week. She likes her club and enjoy club activity. I think Viva is a mysterious club. If I have a free time, I want to take part in Viva's club activity.

She warks as a secretary assistance at KGU, so she always works and busy. She has to take part in events on the school, and help management. A chief secretary is cool guy, so I envy her.

Kana is a cool and cute. She enjoy her school life and I will get along with her forever. I am glad to become a friend with Kana.

My group member is Kana, Chisako, and Haruna. We named our group "no-man". All of us have no boy friend, so we named like that. I'm glad to give a presentation with this member. We try to give a good presentation, and we want to give a presentation about student's cafeteria. We likes KGU's cafeteria, and often eat there, but we think if there were more menu, we could more enjoy our school life.

I think sky diving is more danjerous, because bungee jumping is known where people landed. So bungee jumping can put cushioning on the ground, but sky diving is not known where people landed. Sky diving use a parachute, but it is not safe. I saw some people who dead in parachute accident. For the reasons I think Skaydiving is more dangerous.

2
I think winter sports is better, because many people fat in winter, so we can lose weight by playing sports. What is more, winter is cold, but we can become warmer. Playing sports is also good for our body, but, sometimes danjerous. Many people become dehydration every year in summer. We may lose our lives. For the reasons I think winter sports is better.

3
I think a boy for my first child is better, because a man must be a steady to have family to keep. Generally speaking, many oldest son or oldest daughter is more steady than second son and second daughter. For the reasons I think a boy for my first child is better.

4
I think using mixi and facebook is better, because we can learn with enjoy by them. Texting is also ok, but mixi and facebook is more interesting than texting. We must like studying. For the reason I think using mixi and facebook is better.

plan to fallow Light’s advice to make more comments on my friend's blog (Light,2009.07.08), because that will help me studying English more. Chisako also had a good idea to "I must devise my blog's layout" (Chisako. 2009.07.08), because I will enjoy put my blog by that.Yumi suggested to paste a lot of pictures (Yumi, 2009. 07. 08). It makes me enjoy. What is more, reader is interested in my blog. I also agree with Yurina's opinion I should write more words(Yurina, 2009.07.07). My blog was also written by short English words. I often write blog, but I can't write a long English sentence. I will try to write a long English sentence at the second semester. Aya is good idea "I must include some links and informations"(Aya, 2009.07.29) I think I should have pasted some links on my blog. If there were links on my blog, some people think "What is this?", and may read my blog. I can make my blog more interesting.

I want to go there, and watch a good night view." My friend said "OK! Let's go from now on" Then we went to Inasa mountain. It took about an hour to go to Inasa mountain by car. It is a little far, but we enjoyed going for a drive. The ascent to the Inasa mountain's top was very steep. To our regret, it rained. What is worse, it was blowing a gale, but there were many people at lookout point. A night of view was very beautiful. I have never seen such a night view. It was a moving sight. I took some pictures but I could not do it well, so this picture is not so beautiful. I regret that I can't show you beautiful night view. If you go to Nagasaki, please go to Inasa mountain.

I watched many Hamakatsu and Lingerhut while we going for a drive. Most of them were located in same place. I said "Why are most of Hamakatsu and Lingerhut in same place?" My friend said "It is proper that many Hamakatsu and Lingerhut in Nagasaki ,because Hamakatsu and Lingerhut originated in Nagasaki. What is more, them top management is same person!" I was surprised!! I think most of people in Kumamoto don't know about it. Do you know about it?

After we arrived my friend's house, we ate sushi. We talked a lot. It was interesting. Then we were tired, so we went to bed soon.
