Goodbye message
I feel time has passed very quickly.I can't believe I have taken the III B class 15 times.
I feel as if I entered Hirosaki University a few days ago...
Through the III B class,I have learned many things.
First,I learned about paragraph writing.
Before entering the University,I could only write a sentense but didn't know paragraph.
So I'm very happy to learn how to make paragraph.In addition,"unity and coherence,supporting details,facts,quotation and statistics" skill is valuable.
By using these skills,my paragraph becomes more meaningful,interesting.
I keep the textbook and use when I need it!
Next,I hed never tried a blog,so it is very exiting for me.
Everyweek I wrote a blog hard,and enjoyed seeing others' blogs.
I think iiib class was very valuable.
Thank you everyone!
Goodbye!!
Good bye

Thank you.
Good-bye

I'll continue on polishing my English skill.
Then,every one...
Have a nice summer!!

Romeo and Juliet
By watching this movie, I can learn that love is great and unbreakable. The scene Juliet stabbed herself to death with sword is forceful and sad. Their loves were not rewarded, but I think they live happily in the other world because they can live together.
By the way, "West Side Story" is similar to "Romeo and Juliet." Please watch it too. You'll be impressed.
Romeo & Juliet
I was interested in Shakespeare's works,so I want to buy the book or the DVD of his works and appreciate it.
Impression of the film
I watched "Romeo and Juliet" for the first time, but this movie was not what I had expected. I heard that it was a tragic movie, but it was not as tragic as I had thought. Almost all of the music which was used in it was cheerful. Thanks to this, the movie's impression became cheerful.
The film I want to see
I want to see "Romeo and Juliet". The reason why is that I wanted to see a movie which I knew but haven't seen. But I wanted to see it truly. Though I knew it is written by Shakespeare,I haven't seen it. So I am looking forward to seeing it.
Free Assignment
It has come to August. In August, the All-Japan High School Baseball Championship Tournament will be held. I like it very much , so I look forward to it every year.
A representitive high school has been chosen one after another , but I want to cheer for the team of Iwate prefecture, which I was born in. This year's representitive high school is a high school attached to a Morioka university. Iwate's team always lose in the first game, so I want them to win somehow in this year.
Romeo and Juliet
Romeo and Juliet
My expectation is diffirent from the reality.
I was absorbed in watching the movie.
The content is very interesting.
I think the writer has very nice talent.
I think that it is very nice to watch famous movies.
I want to watch many famous movies in summer vacation.
Romeo & Juliet
One hatred creates another one. Then the hatred make another ・・・. That is a vicious circle!
I'm anxious for whether I can love anyone I like like that. However, the movie was great. I want to see other movies you chose.
Why not see them in the last 3B class?
Wednesday, July 23, 2008
My feeling of the Romeo & Juliet
It is a pity that Romeo can’t receive the letter from the priest! I think that before starting the plan, the priest had to make sure that Romeo had received the letter. It was his error… I think that the error was the key point of the discovery of the movie, however .
I become interested in the works of the Shakespeare and I’m going to read some of his works in this summer!
Romeo & Juliet
After I watched it. I could'nt return real world for a while.
Because I felt real sympathy with their.
Their love could save the country of future and move people's mind.
I reconfirmed Shakespeare in greatness.
Romeo&Juliet
I was happy to watch Romeo&Juliet and I was moved.
The movie is said to be a masterpiece,so I think I should watch it in order to enlarge my experience.
I hope they can go to Heaven together and live happily.
I think they were great because they carried out their love.They didn't change their mind.
If I were Romeo or Juliet,I couldn't kill myself.I might search for another love... Their power of love was very wonderful,I think.
A quirk of fate was cruelty.If a messenger was a horse or other animals that could run faster than a donkey,Romeo might be able to get the very important message.If Romeo had waited a little more,he might be able to notece thet Juliet was alive!So the end was very sad to me.
I would like to buy the book,Romeo&Juliet.
See you.
Romeo and Juliet
Romeo and Juliet
I learned strength of love. I haven't gone through that love,and I think it is same for most of people all over the world. But I think I want to find a female such as Juliet to Romeo. I think that I want to take care of my girlfriend.
Impression of the movei
I saw this movie. I was very suprised to have though the end by the happy ending that Rmeo and Juliet to was a love story. Neither Romeo nor Juliet understood whether to become a conception that I also died because my important person had died to me why. Certainly, I did not think that it died either threfore though it was painful that an important person died.
My movie
My favorite movie is "hura-girl"
This story is that hura-girl team is composed of laymans in certain country,and the team practice hura-dance. The team parformance last,but the process is hard. If you watch last dance, you will be not able to help crying. The movie give us warmth of human beings. This film move us, because its warmth. You should watch this.
Free topic
I would like to write essay about cycling.
I went cycling from HIROSAKI city to AOMORI city a few months ago. Cycling in fine weather is very pleasant. But, when I was in hill to go to AOMORI, it bigan to rain. Oh no!! Besides it, I realized I lost my way. I thought I die. But, human's vital energies is greatful!! I am here.
In my summer vacation, I'm planing to go HOKKAIDO by my bicycle.
My hobby
My hobby is skiing. I have done it since I was a elemantary school student in my first grade.Ever year, I had gone to skiing school until I was a junior high scool student in my first grade. Thanks to this, I came to be a good skier. When I was 13 years old, I went to HOKKAIDO to ski. Then I was very happy, because quality of snow is very high. HOKKAIDO is colder than AOMORI, so snow is knit more. I want to go to HOKKAIDO again.
My favorite
My favorite musician is SPITZ.
Their sound is clear and great. Especially,word is so great.I think that song is composed of word, so song whose word is bad can't be good song.
I like them for 7 years.One day, they came to AOMORI and performanced when I was a junior high school student in my third grade.Live performance is better than record,so I like them more. probably, I like them until I die.
A quirk of fate
the story "Romeo and Juliet " is known as beutiful love story. But I didn`t know their love came to such an unexpected and a sad ending. I can`t help thinking if the two parties didnI` t stand opposition, If the postman was in time for Romeo` s leaving, If juliet waked up before Romeo died. their love was a playing of future. If it had not been for a quirk of fate, they would be happy. But in spite of the hard situation, they stock to their love. So many people hand a story down from generation to generation.
By the way , I remembered the story like "Romeo and Juliet " It is "Gang of New York " and "SONEZAKI SINJYU" . If you have a time, piease see it.
Impression of the movie
I want to watch the movie again and I will try to read in the original.
Romeo&Juliet
When I watched, I think "Why Romeo&Juliet are passionate!? " Romeo and Juliet loved at first sight each other.Also they decided their wedding!I can't understand their mentality.I want to say that clam down please.And The minister used a donkey to sending a very important message to Romeo.If it was not donkey but horse......I was sad all the more.
In summer vacation,I want to watch a lo of various kind movies!

What I got from Romeo & Juliet
I don't know that this love is true love. However, I can understand the power of love. In this story, Romeo and Juliet aren't bound together but their love gives a chance to shorten the distance between the Montagues and the Capulets. These families have hated each other very much, but the grudge comes to an end because of love of the couple.
We were given a chance to think about love from Shakespeare. This is a big question but I'd like to keep thinking of it from now on.
Romeo and Juliet
Romeo and Juuliet.
We watched Romeo and Juliet at the last class.I thought we couldn't watch all the movie, and so I was happy to watch it again.
The story of Romeo and Juliet is that "The first day they met, the second day they got married, and the third day they died."The passion was unbelievable to me.Why couldn't they keep a cool head?Their love was so blind.
The ending was very sad.They loved them each other, but I wonder if they were truly happy.How about do you think?
See you!

final love...............
Very beautiful story that what i can say about this story. But as normal story ending with sad death. I not clearly understand the biggest conflict that happen after Romeo kill Juliet cousin and why exactly the plan that the father had plan so Juliet must pretend death? What ever I like the song that is the important thing. There are so many poem inside the story and I can't understand the real mean of all of it. The end was a little sad I think but that is the fact of this story ending with death of the couple. Moreover I think the problem is the crisis between their family that make them become like that. It is not their fault to fall in love with each other because it is their destiny. I feel sympathy for them.
In conclusion it is a beautiful love story.

Romeo and Juliet
I understood why "Romeo and Juliet is considered to be the origin english literature. I know many stories like this , and Ithink "Romeo and juliet " has an effect on not only literature but also movie , TV drama and so on.
Romeo and Juliet
Performers were good.Their performances were beautiful. The music was also beautiful.I enjoyed them.
I was afraid that I couldn't watch all of Romeo and Juliet. So I want to watch all of this movie.
Romeo and Juliet
I enjoyed it because I like love story.
I realized that love isn't dependent on time or conditions.
Love is forever.
The movie enables me to understand love.
And I can learn English.Hearing English is very difficult for me.
I want to be able to hear english totally.
I want to watch it again.

Romeo&Julieto
Romeo and Juliet
I was fascinated with this movie. so I am eager to watch continuance about this movie.
I could see why this movie is immortal works.
Nothing is the most ardent than difficulty love. I want to fell in love like this movie.
I have never seen such passionate love as that before.
I think Shakespeare as the auther of Romeo and juliet is great person.
Romeo&Juliet
Last week,I watched it.
I think it is very very impressive and wonderful.
The scene Romeo&Juliet met each other was very romantic.I thought they loved each other from the bottom of their heart! However,I feel sad because they can't get married...
Are there any problems that we can't get married only because the relationship between one family and another family is bad even these days?
In addition,the music was beautiful and it involved me in the movie!
I want to watch all!
My impression of Romeo and Juliet
Romeo and Juliet was made several decades ago but this style is used still now. I think that this is the originator of the romantic dramas and movies.
Romeo and Juliet
All performers were good. In paticular, I was impressed by the scene Romeo and Juliet met first. This was a fateful encounter. The music was also good. It matches the scene.
I was afraid that I couldn't watch until the last. So I want to watch all of this movie.
Romeo and Juliet
The music is also beautiful. I think that it represent the feelings and destiny of Romeo and Juliet.
So I want to watch the movie to the last.
Romeo&Juliet
I have a regret that I coundn't watch to the end. Maybe I will watch this movie in summer vacation!!

Romeo and Juliet
This story is so poetic, but I want to understand it.
Sunday, July 13, 2008
romeo... juliet...
For me it was a very wonderful story. The part that I like the most is the poem and music that had been presented in front of the audience at party time in Juliet house. I like the music. It make me feel the beauty of the love.
But something that I feel regrade is I can't understand all what they talk about because there are so many poem that been use in the story skrip. Their dialogue too high for me hahaha. I'm STILL a beginner in English that why I can't catch the meaning.

The movie I want to see
What I Want to See is・・・
- First, "Romeo & Juliet" is too famous and there are nobody who don't know the story. So if we see the movie in English, the knowledge will help us understand the contents. Therefore it is the most suitable.
- Second, (this is the most important for me) I'm not good at listening! So I may be unable to understand the interests of other movies if we see the other movies. I want to listen & understand & enjoy the contents of movies,too.
Therefore I suggest that we should see "Romeo & Juliet" in 3B class!
Casablanca

Beijing The Japan women's 4x100-meter relay team will run in two meets this weekend in Europe in an attempt to qualify for the Beijing Olympics, the Japan Association of Athletic Federations has announced.
The team of Tomoko Ishida, Sakie Nobuoka, Chisato Fukushima and Momoko Takahashi, along with alternate Mayumi Watanabe, are entered in the Primo Nebiolo Memorial meet in Turin, Italy, on Friday, then will compete in Kaunas, Lithuania, on Sunday.
The quartet set a national record of 43.67 seconds at the pre-Olympic meet in Beijing late last month to improve its rank to 17th in the world--just .03 seconds behind Australia for the 16th and final qualifying spot.
The top 16 teams, based on the average of their two best results recorded between Jan. 1, 2007, and July 18 this year, qualify for Beijing.
Japan's other relay teams appear safely through. According to the latest rankings released May 25, the men's 4x100 team is fourth, while in the 4x400 event, the men are 10th and the women 12th.

Recently, NBA final is end. I introduce what happens in the games and result.
BOSTON (AP) -- A blizzard of green-and-white confetti was in the forecast,http://www.sportingnews.com/yourturn/viewtopic.php?t=424933
a
shiny trophy was being readied for its trip to the center of the parquet floor
and T-shirts and caps were hurriedly handed out to the rest of the new NBA
champions.
First, though, a final, fitting bow.
OAS_AD('TopRight');
The clock said 4:01 left, and the scoreboard read: Boston 116,
Los Angeles 81.
It was time for Paul Pierce, Kevin Garnett and Ray Allen to
come out -- together.
"I thought, they came in as a group, and I thought
we
should take them out as a group," Celtics coach Doc Rivers said.
The
Big
Three walked off as one, and into history.
With Bill Russell and
John
Havlicek
sitting courtside,
and Red Auerbach
surely lighting up a victory cigar
somewhere, these Celtics returned to
glory like the great Boston teams before
them, dominating the Los Angeles
Lakers 131-92
in Game 6 on Tuesday night.
For Pierce, Garnett and Allen,
this was moment they had
waited for, the one they used to wonder would ever
arrive. But they
sacrificed individual acclaim for team success, and with Rivers
as their
guide, the trio brought Boston back to the top with title No. 17.
"I'll be
forever linked to this city," said Garnett, who toiled for years in
Minnesota. "And
I'm more than grateful for that."
Almost an hour afterward,
Pierce, the
finals MVP who a year ago thought his days in Boston were over,
strolled
back onto the court.
"I didn't want a championship," he yelled to
no one
in particular. "I needed a championship. I ain't going nowhere. I'm
spending
the night."
In the closing minutes, Boston fans sang as if they
were in
a nearby pub, celebrating the first NBA championship won in the city
since
1986. They serenaded the newest champs with "Seven-teen" and taunted Kobe
Bryant and his Lakers, who were buried by a green-and-white
avalanche.
Garnett scored 26 points with 14 rebounds, Allen
scored 26 and Pierce, who
shook off a sprained right knee sustained in Game
1, added 17 for the Celtics, a
24-win team a year ago. Rajon Rondo had 21 points,
eight assists, seven rebounds
and six steals.
Boston built a 23-point
halftime lead and obliterated the
Lakers, who were trying to become the first team to
overcome a 3-1 deficit in
the finals. The 39-point win surpassed the NBA
record for the biggest margin of
victory in a championship clincher; the
Celtics beat the Lakers 129-96 in Game 5
of the 1965 NBA finals.
As the clock ticked down, Pierce doused Rivers with
red Gatorade. Owner Wyc Grousbeck, who named his
group Banner 17 to leave no
doubt about his goal, put an unlit cigar in his
mouth -- a tribute to Auerbach,
the patriarch who had a hand in the
franchise's first 16 titles.
Garnett
dropped to the parquet and kissed the
leprechaun at center court and then found
Russell, the Hall of Famer who taught him the
Celtic way, for a long embrace.
"You know you're a Celtic when other players
come up and congratulate you to
be here," said Garnett, the centerpiece
of a 7-for-1 trade pulled off last
summer by Boston general manager Danny Ainge, a former
Celtics guard. "They
explain the tradition. It's like coming into a frat."
It was Boston's first
title since the passing of Auerbach, and following
the game TD Banknorth Garden,
the "new" Garden, smelled of
one of his stogies. He must have been smiling as
the Celtics denied Lakers coach Phil Jackson
from overtaking him with a 10th
championship.
The Boston-Los Angeles
rivalry, nothing more than
black-and-white footage from the 60s and TV
highlights of players wearing short
shorts in the 80s to young hoops fans,
remains tilted toward the Atlantic Ocean.
The Celtics are 9-2 against the Lakers in the
finals.
Boston missed its
first crack at closing out the series in Game
5, but the Celtics didn't miss on
their second swing, running the Lakers out of the gym.
"Beat L.A.?" More
like "Beaten L.A."
Bryant, the regular-season MVP,
finished with 22 points
on 7-of-22 shooting.
He started 4-of-5 from the
field and seemed intent on
forcing a Game 7. But he missed seven shots in a
row and everywhere he went,
L.A.'s No. 24 ran smack into a wall of Boston
defense as high as the Green
Monster.
"They were definitely the best
defense I've seen the entire
playoffs," Bryant said. "I've seen some pretty
stiff ones and this was right up
there with them. The goal was to win a
championship, it wasn't to win MVP or
anything like that, it was to win a
championship."
With Garnett scoring 17
points and Pierce adding 10,
Boston built a 58-35 halftime lead, and unlike Game
2 when they let the Lakers trim a
24-point lead to two in the fourth quarter
before recovering, the Celtics
never stopped.
They pushed their lead to 31
in the third and a
mind-blowing 43 at one point.
No team had to work harder
for a
championship than these Celtics, who were playing in their record 26th
postseason game
after being pushed to seven by Atlanta and Cleveland before
beating Detroit
in six to win the Eastern Conference title.
They entered
Game 6 slowed
by injuries as Pierce, Kendrick Perkins (shoulder) and Rondo
(ankle) were
less than 100 percent. There was also uncertainty surrounding
Allen, who
stayed behind in Los Angeles following Game 5 after his youngest son
became
ill and was diagnosed with diabetes. The Celtics needed three planes to
get
back from L.A. and didn't get home until late Monday night.
But there
were no excuses, and just as they had while winning 66 games during the
regular
season, the Celtics got a record seven 3-pointers from Allen and
plenty of help
from their bench as P.J. Brown, James Posey, Leon Powe and rookie Glen "Big
Baby" Davis came in and contributed.
It was a group effort by this gang
in
green, which bonded behind Rivers, who borrowed an African word ubuntu
(pronounced
Ooh-BOON-too) and roughly means "I am, because we are" in English,
as the
Celtics' unifying team motto.
Rivers, who never won a title during 13
seasons as a player, was nearly run out of town last season as the proud
Celtics
dropped off the league's radar screen. But he remained confident,
boosted by
encouragement from his father, Grady, a former police lieutenant
who told him to
hang tough.
Grady Rivers died in the season's first
week, and never got to
see his son fulfill his dream.
As the final
seconds ticked off, Rivers
recalled his father.
"My first thought was
what would my dad say," Rivers
said, "and honestly I started laughing
because I thought he would probably say,
if you knew my dad, 'It's about
time. What have you been waiting for?"'
Notes: The Celtics set a finals
record with 18 steals. ... Allen was poked
in the left eye in the second
quarter by Lamar Odom and spent much of the second
quarter getting treatment
in the locker room. ... The Celtics joined Golden
State (1974-75) and
Portland (1976-77) as the only teams to win a championship
after missing the
playoffs the previous year. ... Boston went 48-7 at home,
including 13-1 in
the postseason. ... Jackson is 193-84 in the postseason.
Summer vacation

First, I want to go to the seashore with my friends. It is our annual summer event and a opportunity to meet my friends again.
Second, I will study hard. I want to be good at English, so I will read many English books and practice speaking English.
I hope to make a lot of memories.
Teaching

Have you ever taught something to others? This is very difficult, I think. Since I began to work as a teacher in a cram school, I always feel that. For example, my student is very weak in fractional expressions so I never fail to give a test about them. At the end of a class, I ask whether he can understand this class or not, and he says,"Of course, I can do that". However, he can't solve fractional expressions I give him as a test!
Surely, teaching is very hard but I can grow up through it. Nowadays, I think of the following questions every day. How should I teach that? What ways to solve the problem he can understand easily? This experience is new for me and is very useful in the future. And I think that teaching is an important skill so I want to develop the skill more.
