Free Assignment - POEM -

“I am”

“Snow” didn’t know how to stop snowing.
But “Rain” knew how easy it is to stop everything.
When your hair fell into tears,
I had to talk with “Snow” to tell him how the things happened.
Then, “Rain” was laughing at everything we did,
And “Wind” was laughing at “Rain".

After a while…

When the air came to be sonorous, music began.
When I listened to the music that existed between silence and noise, I fell in the dept.

There was nothing.
But nothing was everything I wanted.

I was a confused boy like “Snow”, “Rain” and “Wind”.
Now, I am a crazy guy falling into the dept to get nothing.

Blog Assignment

I am researching on the relationships between the ratio of students receiving tentative job offers and the rates of job availability, so I introduce my consideration about them.

Judging from the datas shown in the graph, the rate of job availability in recent is almost 1 time, so all students can find jobs, but in reality many of them become neet or freeters. In fact, students don‘t work hard if they manage to find the job which is different from the one they hope, and they quit their jobs finally or don`t go their workplace from the beginning. Thus, government must work out the ideas for giving students the jobs they hope.

This is the annual change of the mortality rate. According to this graph, the mortality rate of Aomori prefecture is higher than that of national average.

Education in Bolivia

Education System

School leaving age: 13


Literacy rate: 86%

Numbers in tertiary education: 278,763 students



[my opinion]
According to the graph, the compulsory education of Bolivia is until one student becomes 13 years old, on the other hand, that of Japan requires the graduation of junior high school. Not the degree but the age is the essential factor of the education in Bolivia.
In fact, Bolivia is one of the least industrialized countries in the world, however, there are many colleges that are much older than Tokyo university or Kyoto university that are the oldest and most authoritative ones in Japan. But there are not so many students who can enter the colleges. Poverty is one of the biggest reasons for this. It proves that the problem of money can deprive people of the chances to learn and study.

According to this graph,the number of traffic accident and the toll in Chiba prefecture are increasing. I hope that more and more people drive safely and the number decreases.

Assignment

BEATLES

I like BEATLES very much.When I feel down,their somgs always cheer me up.I like "HERE COMES THE SUN" the best.Here is the song's words.

Here comes the sun, do do do do
Here comes the sun, and I say
It's all right
Little darling
It's been a long cold lonely winter
Little darling
It feels like years since it's been here
Here comes the sun, do do do do
Here comes the sun, and I sayIt's all right

links and quotes

This week's assignment is linking and quoting. Here is a link to a PowerPoint presentation of Lincoln's "Gettysburg Address" for you.

Here is the actual address:

Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent a new nation, conceived in liberty and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal. Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation or any nation so conceived and so dedicated can long endure. We are met on a great battlefield of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field as a final resting-place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this. But in a larger sense, we cannot dedicate, we cannot consecrate, we cannot hallow this ground. The brave men, living and dead who struggled here have consecrated it far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living rather to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us--that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion--that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain, that this nation under God shall have a new birth of freedom, and that government of the people, by the people, for the people shall not perish from the earth.

Blog Assignment~my favorite season~

I`m sorry, Mr. philips. Last week I was sick, so I couldn`t join in last class.

My favorite season is summer! Summer has many attractions.

At first, it is getting dark more slowly, so we can go out even at night! And we can enjoy watching fireworks at night. I love small sparklers especially, because its light disappears in seconds and its fragility lets me feel sentimentally.

Secondly, we have long vacation in summer! This year I`m going to go to seas with my friends or...if possible, with new sweetheart.

Third, we don`t need many clothes in summer, so cost for clothes is relatively cheeper than other seasons! This is very good to poor college students like me.

For the three reasons, I love summer!

winter.....

My favorite season is winter. In this season, I am extremely happy and deeply calm, listening to the sound that snow falls onto the ground. But the best reason for this is because my love loves winter very much. She says, “most people might say they hate winter because of its severe cold, but this cold makes me want to stay with my love, next to my love with love…” The word always makes me deeply …fall into loving her. So…,I love winter.

My favorite season

My favorite season is Spring.There are several reasons.First,Spring is the beginning of a year,so I set a new goal in Spring,and ezpect that I will be a better person in the end of the year.Whether I realze that goal or not,I expect Spring.Second,the temprature is mild in Spring.Thirdly,I like flowers,especially cherry blossoms.Cherry blossoms come out every Spring.Therefore,I like Spring the best.

My favorite season

I like summer because Koushien is held. Koushien is the National High-School Baseball Tournament. I have played baseball for 9 years. I like baseball very much. So, I am looking forward to watching Koushien every year. Therefore, I like summer the best.

My favorite season

There are four season in Japan, but spring is the season I most like. Because, spring is verry comfortable,and I love cherry blossoms! This is the picture I took in Hirosaki park by my cellphone this year.

I like summer too, but there are many insects! So spring is best!

Spring is the best season.

This is a picture

which I took about two weeks ago in the Hirosaki Park.I like spring the best because I like cherry very much!

Mｙ Favorite Season

Spring is wonderful seaon!!
At first,it's the season of meeting.we meet many people and expand our relation.It's fantastic that we talk with new friends.
Second,the climate is mild.We can live easily and I can play soccer in comfort.I think it's best season to enjoy soccer.
At last,there are many exciting things.We have many holidays,GW.In our town,we can enjoy the cherry blossoms festival.
Therefore,I love this season.

sesame street

Last week,I watched a video "Sesame street" . It was very interesting, and useful for learning English. Therefore I think that if students saw a sesame street in junior school they can learn English more easily.

SESAMI STREET

SESAMI Street was interesting because there were songs which help children to memorize letters and numbers.We have songs like that in Japan but I think Americans' use effective animations.

Sesami Street

We watched 'Sesami Street' on video last week.It was fun to me.Especially,I was interested in ABC song.Big Bird was very pretty.Most of the words are easy,but this video is useful to learn a basic of English.I think it is important to learn a basic.
I want to watch another movie next time.

Sesame Street

We watched Sesame Street on video last week. It was the first time in my life that I watched that video.
At first, I thought it was a TV program like Eigode asobo but it was near to Okasan To Issyo.
I enjoyed this class very much. So I want to watch another video in class someday.

Blog Assignment

Last Thursday, we English-iiib-class watched Sesami-Street movies.
Cartoons are funny and pretty, and stories are constructed easy English. These movies are so pleasant and peaceful, but these are too simple and childish, I think.
If I can, I want chance to watch more exiting movies.

Sesami Street

Sesami Street was TV program which made children learn English easily. I was very interested in abc song. If children listen the song, they will learn alphabet easily. I hope children all over the world watch the program.

SESAME STREET

“Sesame Street” is not only an educational program but also a music program, and because it has the highest quality of marionette play, it would attract many children.
Also, “Sesame Street” is a pioneer in the field of human equality (education of human equality). Black people, handicapped persons, young children play together in the program with respect for each other. It might mean that “people is people, human is human”.
“Sesame Street” has such important meanings, so it would never disappear.

Sesami Street

Last thursday, I watched Sesami Street. I think it is very easy for children to learn number. Many characters appear on the screen and are very interesting. They taught numbers with songs. So, children who watch Sesami Street will feel like studying.
I enjoyed watching Sesami Street very much.

SESAMESTREET

We enjoyed watching SESAMESTREET's videos last week.I recommended it because I hadn't ever watched it's full program.I knew the cute characters,elmo,big bird,and cookie monster etc...Another reason why I selected it was that I wanted to watch their original color.Unfortunately,I can't find elmo this time.It's my regretful point in this time.
I understand that the study in our early age is very effective.Thanks to this,children can learn English happily and surely.I wanted to learn English by this.
By the way,I learn French as a class.I'm coming to be unable to follow the class and I'm looking for some programs by which I can learn French like SESAMESTREET.Please tell me if anyone know.HELP!!

Sesami street

I thought that understanding "Sesami street" was very easy, however, it was more difficult than my expection. I can't catch some words. "Sesami street" is made for children but it is difficult for me. I thought that foreign childish videos are very useful for the persons who learn the langrages, like us.

Sesami Street

In thursday,we watched Sesami Street.it was very pretty,interesting,and composed by easy English.We watched three Sesami Street movies;Counting 1 2 3...,Sing Along,and A B C Song.I like Sing Along.Songs sung in it were very very wonderful!Above all,song with finger language was very beautiful song.I was impressed with it!!

Assignment

Yesterday, we watched Sesame Street.
Very cute pictures with very funny somgs were so nice.
In Sesame Street, many characters teach us English merrily.
Probably, children can like to study English thanks to Sesame Street.
I thought that studying merrily is very important.
I want to study merrily.

Sesame Street

I watched Sesame Street after a long. I was used to watch this program in the sub audio channel,so I thought I must watch them in English!
I thought Sesame Street is both interesting and instructive children`s program. Because it helps counting numbers, learning alphabets with song, dance and animation.
I felt there were many things I can learn in this program!

I like Elmo, but he didn`t appear this time, so I am sad a little!><

Continued from previous message.

Third,My golden week was soccer,soccer,and soccer!!!We had an away game in Akita.I woke up at 5:00 AM and we left for Akita at 6:00 AM.It took 3 hours and a half each way for a car!!!I was completely tired of it.The game score(vs Akita) was 2-1!We won!However on the way home(of course for 3 hours and a half)we were realy exhauseted on our car..........
Last,I'd like to write today's review on 'SESAMI STREET'.In japan 'OKAASANTOISSHO' corresponds to 'SESAMI STREET',I guess. In this TV program, instructers teach 'A I U E O......'and'1 2 3 4 5........'to children in front of TV and sing and dance with them. I myself would often be looking forward to watching this program in my childhood.This program can inspire children' writing and listening ability,imagination and creativity to think, speak and act actively for themselves.'SESAMI STREET' have the same effect,I think.Colorful pictures on the program inspire children' eyes,the characters' voice inspire their ears,and their repeat after characters inspire their mouths.Thus both programs can help children develop their ability.I strongly believe that more and more these TV programs for children should be broadcasted instead of meaningless variety show programs because it is children that carry Japan in the future.

May 17,2007.I'm very very sorry for having piled up blog assignments!!!

I'm very very sorry for having piled up blog assignments for a long time!!!From now on, I'll post messages and comments very very frequently because I realize regular practices are very important! So,though long time have passed since IIIB English Class Blog had started, please allow me to join this blog.I'll be really happy if I can join this blog members!Then I'll post my first message with my best effort!
First,I'd like to introduce myself.My name is 'Shoichi Kitano'(handle name is 'shoichi+').I'm from Osaka.Osaka is very big city,as you know,so it is convinient for us to live there.However I'm used to be fed up with noise from cars,people,advertising and so on.I would often feel messy!So it is very confortable for me to live in Hirosaki now!People are kind,air is clear,mountain is wonderful and star is beautiful.I'm strongly thinking that it was right to enter Hirosaki University.Now I belong to medical soccer club.I practice soccer in this club 4 days every week.So my university life is very busy but very enjoyable.I still have a lot of what I want you to know about myself.So please speak to me in class.
Second,this blog will be useful for us if we post a message about our daily life,as NY said in this blog too,and comment at least your previous and latter message.How do you think?

SesameStreet 17,May

Today,we watched SesameStreet.
People who appear SesameStreet was very happy.I feel that everyone likes English and enjoys studying English.
If I had watched SesameStreet when I was a child,I would have become a good English speaker!
I decided that I should remember may original intention and enjoy studying english.So,it is a wonderful prompt for me to watch SesameStreet.

I went to Hirosakikouen for hanami with basketball club member. I was moved by sakura. It was very beautiful!!!
In the evening, Drinking Party(nomikai) started! In nomikai, we must do syussin. Our senior pour in sake for us and we drank a toast! We enjoyed hanami and became closer each other.
I love hanammi!!!

My idea

In my opinion, this blog has to be useful and practical for us, all the English Ⅲ’s classmates.
To improve our active skills of English, it is necessary to use English as many times as possible.
My idea for blog assignment is to have a discussion about something we want to talk about on this blog. All of us must join the discussion from the beginning to the end and express own opinion.
I think it would be interesting. How about you?

Golden Week assignment

Next week is Golden Week, and we will not have class for Constitution Day. Please tell us about your Golden Week activities. First let us know what you plan to do, even if you only plan to sleep in instead of getting up for classes. Then tell us what you actually did, even if it was just sitting around relaxing. If you have some pictures, please put those on the blog for the rest of us to enjoy.

Golden Week in Hirosaki is especially nice because the cherry blossoms are usually out around that time. Of course I have to go back to see my family in Akita, but I will be here for Tuesday and Wednesday. Maybe I will see you around.

Here's a picture I took at the Hirosaki Sakura Matsuri many years ago:

Assignment-1

My name is Daisuke Watabe. I major in medicine.I want to become a international doctor, so I want to speak English fluently.By the way,My hobby is watching movies. I like "American Histry X","Elephant". "American Histry X" is about discrimination,"Elephant" is about the incident which happened in Clumbine High school. These movies are sad to watch,but I like movies which make me think about something. If you interested in these movies,go to rental video shops and try to find these movies.

Assignment2

I think this blog help us not only improve our English but also make friends one another.
I am unaccustomed to using blog now ,but I do my best!!
If we use this blog without constraint, we can become closer and enjoy iiiBclass!!

I also want to enjoy living in Hirosaki.

Assignment2

I think 3Bclassblog is "chat room." Our 3Bclass member can meet only on Thursdays but we can communicate each other and become friends by using this blog.In order to enjoy this blog, for example, we write daily happenings or talk about hobbies or show some photos and so on.

Hello!

assignment-1

My idea is keeping a diary.
In the diary,we write anything that happens in each day. I often hear keeping diary is good to compose our thoughts.
Actually,I have never kept a diary.For my part,I want to use this blog to compose myself in addition to implove our English writing skill.

Assignment

Hello, my name is Masashi Fujita. I live in Toriage in hirosaki.
I am a medical student. In order to become a good family doctor, I will study many things hard.
Some friends call me ma-shi-. Please call me ma-shi- without reserve.

I think a blog is like a diary, so maybe we'd better contribute to this blog every day. Even if we can't do every day, we should contribute to it at least once in three days. As a result, we will be able to improve our English skill.

Hello☆

I am Misaki Kudou. I live in the City of Aomori. I think there are many people who have never come Aomori. So,I want to come to Aomori,to see the Nebuta. (not Neputa!!)

I suggest this blog use to mingle with each other.There are several faculities,so I want to know what subject they learn.
But not only write about study, I think it good to write but also hobbies,things what interested in,and so on.

I think there are many mistakes .I`ll try to brush up my English in this class!!

Hi!

This is Hikalucas.
As I said last week, I’m a quena player and a member of an Andean traditional music band named “LOS CONDOR-LUCAS”. So I love music, and especially, I am interested in Andean traditional music “Folklore” in which quena is usually played.
First, when I was a kid, I usually listened to classical music, but when I was 9 years old I encountered the sounds of quena and got absolutely fascinated with it. After that, I came to want to get and play a quena eagerly, so I began to look for it in almost all the musical instrument shops in my home town. Finally, when I was 10 years old, I got a cheap instrument and started practicing the quena.
I have performed quena in public since I was a junior high school student, and now I am said to be one of the most skilled quena players in Japan by professional musicians who are on friendly terms with me.
I hope to be a professional quena player and I will. If you want to listen to my performance, please come to my concerto 28th April at "Tyusei-no-yakata", and if you want to get more information about it, check up on my web page by clicking the title of this assignment. Thank you, that's all.

Assignment 1

Hello,I'm Tatsuhiko Tanaka.In this college,I major in medicine,so I want to learn all about medicine.
I am also interested in English,so 3B English class appeals to me very much.Through the class,I want to be able to talk with native speakers and make friends with them,watch American movies without captions and listen American musics without lyrics.
this goal is only step 1.If I reach it,I probably come to want to learn more about English.Finally,I want to be like native speakers!

Assignment 2

I think this blog needs "Making Friends Room".since I am a student of medicine,most of my friends are student of medicine.I'm happy now,but if I can make friends with other faculty students,I think I'm happier than now.I believe many people think just like I do.

Blog assignment I suggest is "Movies Recommendation".In this assignment,you recommend your favorite American movie with an outline.when others get interested in and watch it,they make comments about it.If you don't watch movies,books or musics are also ok.I'm waiting for your comment!

P.S. I'm sorry Mr.philips.To tell the truth,I'm "afraid" of computers.

Blog assignment

I think this blog should be the place we can talk with classmates, because we can`t communicate with each other enough in limited time and space. Through communication in this blog, we can make friends easier.

As for blog assignments, introducing respective aspiration is suitable to us. This will specify our goals.

Friday April 20, 2007 blog assignment

My name is Masahiro Mitsuhashi. I am in the class Economy and Management, Faculty of Humanity.
I was born in Hirosaki, so I am familiar with things about Hirosaki.
I`m going to enjoy my coming four years, so I want a lot of friends!
I`m happy with it if I can make a lot of friends through English 3B class.

nakamura asuka

Hello!I am AsukaNakamura.

The reason why I came to Hirosaki is I want to become a doctor.So,I will study hard.
And I must become a great doctor!

To study English is very important.Nowadays non-native English speaker should use English.I want to comunicate with native English speaker.This class is very useful for me.So,I want to study your fluent English!

I don't know how to use this blog.But I will try my best!

next assignment

I see that most of you have still not posted your self-introductions to the list. Please don't take too long. Not only do blog assignments pile up over time, but they don't help your English unless you do them regularly. Just like regular practice of any other skill, your English will improve if you use it regularly. Remember your written homework assignments and your blog assignment every week! Post to the blog at least once a week. Post messages, not just comments!

This week's assignment will be to tell us how you think we should use the blog, and suggest blog assignments for the class. You can look through the old blog posts from previous classes to get ideas about what kinds of assignments would be good, and you can use your imagination. All suggestions are welcome and some of your suggestions will become actual assignments. Don't forget to comment on other people's suggestions, too. I want to know which ones are popular and which one's aren't. That will help me decide which ones should become blog assignments for the whole class.

Hello, everybody! (^_^)/

Welcome to the IIIB English class blog for the new students of English 3B, spring semester 2007.

We have a lot of work to do in this class, and the blog is not only a way to practice English, it should be fun for you. Please enjoy yourselves here, and don't forget to keep posting messages every week. Look through the previous messages to see how the other students have been doing it.

This first week I'd like everybody here to introduce yourselves to the others. Tell us something about yourself and what you hope to learn in college, especially what you hope to get out of English class and what you would like to do on the blog. This is supposed to be the most fun part of English class, so please use it a lot.

＊My best essay＊

Yesterday, I couldn't contribute to this blog...
It was a kind of error or trouble??

Anyway, this is my last massage for our EnglishⅢＢ class.
I really enjoyed this class and I think I could improve myself in writing.
I'm very glad I could study English with YOU!!
Thank you.

Now, I'll put my best essay.

--------My interests ~Music~--------
There are a lot of things that interest me, but music is the most at hand and interesting for me. The wind instrument started me on music activity. I have been playing trumpet ever since I was a forth grade of elementary school. At first, I couldn’t make a sound well. But I tried hard and about 1 month later, I learned to make a sound. When I was a high school student, my father got me a trumpet! I was so glad to get it, and this trumpet is one of my precious things. Also I love listening to music and singing. I’m a member of the a cappella club (v.e.l) of Hirosaki University now. And I want to be good singer more. And my favorite singer is aiko. She is Japanese rock singer. She writes very sympathetic words and wonderful rhythms. She is really cute and her voice is lovely. Also I listen a lot of songs. Japanese, Foreign, Pop, Rock, Jazz, Classical, and so on. Like this, music is the one of most important part of my life and it interests me forever.

My last assignment

I couldn't write blog almost.I'm very sorry.
Today,I write my last blog.
I like eating very much♪ Eating give me happiness.
So I write about eating.

Have everyone felt it is happy that you can eat any food?
I always feel happiness when I eat some food.
If we have even money,We can eat some food that we want to eat.There are many people that can't do it.Waste of food in developed country such as Japan,America may promote a famine in a developing country.So,we must not neglect food.
We must notforget a feeling of thanks to producer and cook.In Japan,we say "Itadakimasu."before we take a meal.And we say "Gotisousamadesita."after we take a meal.These words is very valuable.But,Actually,people who don't say these words is increasing.It is regrettable. We should say these words to show feeling of thanks.
Do you take a meal as you take care of nourishment balance?
this is very important for us.Because if we take a meal as we take care of nourishment balance,we could become to be healthy.And,we may become not to catch a cold.
Let's enjoy eating☆

Thank you very much,EnglishⅢB class members and proffesor.

Finally,I introduce shop where can eat sweets♪ This shop is "Pink Bear".We can eat annmitu.This sweets is one of Japanese food.It is very delicious! This shop is in Okeyamati.

Last assigment

I rewrite the paragraph on my hometown.
At first, this paragraph was very bad. The grammar was wrong. However, I love my hometown Hirosaki and I write this for last assignment.

Touring my hometown

In my hometown Hirosaki, you can eat delicious foods and enjoy the events on Tsugaru region. First, there are many good crops. For example, apples which are grown in the Tsugaru plain and corn of the Dake area are famous for their taste. They have natural sweetness because each farmland is suitable for each crops. They grow in good soil. The farmers sell their crops in front of their houses, and you had better get these there. Most of such farmers make vegetables and fruits without agricultural chemicals. So, these are very healthy. And there foods are cheap. You can eat good foods cheaply and safely in Hirosaki. Second, festivals are often held in each season. Especially, the cherry blossom festival in spring and Neputa in summer are famous events. In Hirosaki park. There are many cherry blossom trees and they are so beautiful that I can’t describe that sight. In Neputa, Neputa which are in the shape of a fan and bright pass through Dotemachi street. There are people who pull Neputa, play Japanese music instruments. Many audience sit in the street also. Of course, you can join it and you don’t fail to enjoy it. In addition, there are the colored leaves and chrysanthemum　 festival in fall and the snow festival in winter. You can enjoy Hirosaki’s seasons in festival. Let’s enjoy a festival in the season while you eat good food!!







I took these photos in 2006.

Last blog about My favorite singers

I want to introduce my favorite singer Avril Lavigne and Venessa carlton☆
At first , Avril Lavigne is singer from Canada. she has wanted to become singe from childhood . she decided to go to the U.S, and at there i t is said that she got over many difficulties .
finally, she could be able to be popular singer. My favorite her song is 「Naked 」. her express girl’s　feeling
Nowdays ,She released new song ,「 keep holding on」!! Please listen !! you will enjoy it.
Next singer is Venessa carlton ! she was a ballet dancer before singer. She also did hard experience as a dancer, and she turned her way , she became a singer!!! her song express about herself abstractly. I think this way from her experience as a ballet dancer.
both of them over leap pressures or mess. but like them finally efforts will pay off!!
So Let's get over difficulty and shoot for each dream☆
