me and hay fever

Hello everyone!

I am Nozomi who is one of the students of 3b English class.

Unfortunately, this is first time for me to use this blog, so I am still not sure what I need to write…but I think that it is important to write something in English in order to improve my English skill, so I decided to contribute to this blog.

 
When I was on a way to Hirosaki University in this morning, I found that cherry blossoms were coming out one by one. I know that Hirosaki is very famous of the beautiful scenery in this season, however, spring is difficult time for me because I must struggle against Sugi (cedar) pollen.

As I mentioned in today’s class, I have been suffering from hay fever since I moved Hirosaki. Recently, I cannot go out without wearing a mask and my glasses (Usually I am using contact lenses). Wearing a mask is one of the effective methods to soften the symptom of pollen allergy, however, actually I do not like to use a mask. This is because, my glasses are fogged up whenever I am wearing a mask.

During Golden Week, my friends are going to hold ohanami party at Hirosaki park. Of course I intend to attend the party to enjoy delicious food with beautiful cherry blossoms, but I do not want to think what will happen to me when I take off my mask.

Please enjoy your Golden Week❤

My Final Update

   I've finished my final class of IIIB the other day. Every week I had a homework to write two paragraphs including blogs. It was hard but I've been better at writing than before that I've making a lot of mistakes. Red letters decreased which was on my paragraph returned from professor. It made me pleased.
   Almost all the class was following a textbook, but sometimes professor tells us some funny stories, trivia, interesting knowledge, and about him. Everything he tells us is interesting and worth knowing.
   I've learned a lot from this class. I thank you, sir, very much. Goodbye few people who watches this blog, IIIB's members, and professor.

Chaplin's The Great Dictator

  Hello, this is Misaki.
  I'm so sorry to be late!! I had to do this first. I almost forget what I was going to write;;

  Every scene is so funny except the last serious scene --- one of his movie's features. Why was the WW2 happen even though he made such a moving speech to the world?!

  Anyway, I don't want to eat English mustard as cream sauce. Hynkel's speaking style is also interesting. Actually, sometimes he say "Danke schön" , or Thank you in German, but most of his shouting is not German but something like Germanish words. He must have studied about the real dictator's speech.
  I know he is a double role --- the great dictator Hynkel and the barber, but somehow they seemed to be two different persons. Chaplin's performance is amazing... .

  There are a lot of discovering from watching the movie with English subtitles. I feel like watching Chaplin's other movies again in this way!

  Thank you for reading.

Movie

A movie I recently watched is Ted..!
Do you know this movie and what story is?

The main character is the bear doll and he was presented to a boy who has no friends.
When the boy tried to speek to it, suddenly it began to talk by itself...!

And he and his bear became best friend each other.

After the long time, he was already 30 years old with Ted, the bear!

What happed..?
I could not tell you about it here! 

You should watch the movie if you are interested!!

BUT this movie was too funny, that means so bad expression words..... slang.

The Great Dictator

 Hi. This is Chieko.

 In the English class, we watched the movie "The Great Dictator". It is the movie about the terrible war. But Charlie Chaplin's funny action makes the movie fun.

 The model of this movie is World War 2. I found it not only serious but also funny at the same time. I think it could be so because Charlie Chaplin made this movie. I think he is really talented person. Now I want to watch his movie more.

 In this movie, I like this scene the most.

 His speech was about what he really wanted to say through this movie. That was his shout out of his soul. And we should catch his message and think of its meaning.

 Thank you.

The Great Dictator

by Charles Chaplin.
   Did you know its actor was Charles Chaplin and another actor was Charles Chaplin and its producer was Charles Chaplin and its scriptwriter was Charles Chaplin and its director was Charles Chaplin ? I'm choked.
   Speaking of choke, Charles Chaplin shouted to be choked so many times as if he want to. It heard for me "paparappapppatbauuupiquiquipook". Can native really listen to him what he says? I hope not.
   We need to listen to its message behind (or surface). I can't help thinking of justice. I like such a movie , I said I like Aibo too. Don't pretend to be .
   Anyway , it was funny, I enjoyed a lot. Thank you , sir.

Music box

  Hello, this is Misaki.
  I like game musics since several years ago, and recently, I knew there are many arranges of them. I like music box arrange the best.


Anyway, please press this link and listen to it! ↓
nm19806302...VALLIS-NERIA

←This is the thumb nail.

  The tempo of the music is much slower than the original song. So I feel relaxed when I listen to music box arranges.
  The original music was made by Yoshitaka NISHIMURA, and it is arranged by many people. For example, NES or Famicom sounds, MAD video using Kabi-killer --cleaner for removing mold-- commercial's voice, piano, high speed arrange, and so on. These are funny. Of course I like the composer, too.

Who is the composer? 西村宜隆 / Yoshitaka Nishimura

My Small Friends

 Hi. This is Chieko.
 I have some small friends in my house. Do you know this? Aren't they cute?

 I liked Sylvanian Families very much when I was an elementary school student. I gathered so many dolls and lots of furniture. I even named all the dolls. My mother is good at sewing, so she made me doll's cloths and sometimes I also did.

 Since I entered junior high school, I played with them less and less. But last summer, I suddenly felt like seeing them. So I put the furniture and dolls in the doll house and took some pictures, not playing. Maybe I will see them before long. They are my friends how old I get!

I want

   I'm not interested in Prius. I just want a stuffed Draemon. How about you ? He's the best I have ever seen. He's cute when he climbs the window. The ball-like hands !
   Where can I get him................................?   Please tell me ! I do want him. If I got him I'll let him stand by my TV.

I like spring

   Every year when snow melted, a smell comes with a spring bleeze. It is a nostalgic smell. I don't know why, but it's nostalgic though I feel it every year. It reminds me of my childhood without any distress, worry, and bother. It can even make me cry. At that time I was just myself and really happy but now I feel I'm acting someone except for me.
   Spring is a beginning season in Japan, so there must be an ambition and a hardship. It might be a sad memory but I think I like to think of it. Strong sunlight and melting snow exists together, the impressive season.

Math

            __
We let √-1 = i. This number is never exist in this world, we call it "an imaginary numer"(虚数). We call the numbers equal the real numbers (実数) plus the imaginary numbers the complex numbers (複素数). But, they should exist in another world where we can never imagin.

For example, have a look at this graph.

 

Where are the solutions? The imaginary axis should be somewhere, then y=f(x) and them meet somewhere we can never imagin. I think there is a ghost world.

 

π = C/d  (C:the circumference of a circle, d:a diameter)

 

e =  lim  (1+x)^1/x

      x→0

 

e^iπ + 1 = 0

 

This is the most beautiful formula in math.

This rules real world and fantastic world.

My favorite season

I like spring and autumn. Because the temperature is neither good nor bad. In fact, I like fashion. In spring or autumn, I can wear in various combinations.

In summer, I don't want to wear many layers of clothes, so I wear only a T-shirt. I don't like this style. In winter, I wear a coat. Outer is really expensive, so I don't have many. So I can't wear many layers of clothes.

In spring or autumn, because of the temperature is proper, I can wear many variation of clothes. T-shirts, shirts, parkas, jacket, and so on! I really enjoy fashion!

My Favorite Season

 Hello. This is Chieko.
 Today, I'm going to tell you about my favorite season.

 My favorite season is.....winter! Why? In winter, snow falls in Aomori. I like the view of outside covered with white snow. Everything turns into white and is shining in the sunlight. It is really beautiful so I feel relaxed and delighted.

　Also, in winter, I used to ski when I was an elementary school student. I have not skied for long time, but I know it is very fun to skiing. So I want to go skiing before long whether I can ski well or not. Maybe I will fall down soon.

 Lastly, this is the most important point. In January, my birthday comes!! So every year, I'm looking forward to becoming winter!

My favorite season

  Hello, this is Misaki.

  My favorite season is the beginning of summer. Actually, I didn't like this season before I came to Hirosaki. In Shizuoka, I can't concentrate because of my running nose. Yes, I am a hay fever sufferer. I love masks. In Hirosaki, however, I wasn't embarrassed with it. Moreover, I enjoyed seeing cherry-blossoms at Hirosakijo-catsle. It was amazing that cherry blossoms are blooming in the end of April.

  I also enjoyed walking along Dotemachi shopping street. My hometown has shopping streets, too, but they are more rural, so I like Hirosaki's better.

  And I want to stay at home in winter!! I'm also not good at walking on the snowy roads. So I like the beginning of summer in Hirosaki.

TRUE MUSIC

   This is called HONDA MUSIC !
And this is a true music, just listen. I wish you like it.
   This music is made by Honda 3.5 liter V12 engine made to win at formula one world championship 1991. And this car is driven by Ayrton Senna the fastest formula one driver ever he makes this music more sensual. I hope your something reacts.
   What can I say.....This is beyond description ! This high-pitched sound comes from Honda's passion and the world's greatest technology that the other makers couldn't make. This is one reason that Honda was called MUSIC and Ferrari or Porsche was called just sound.
   You can feel it sensual if you get used to listen to engine sounds. Maybe hard task but I want you to like cars !

   Goodbye             Shun
 

My Favorite Music

 Hello. It's me, Chieko. Now, I'm going to tell you about my favorite music.
 I often want to listen to orchestra music. They makes me relaxed and feeling comfortable.

 This music is "Carnival of the animals" composed by Charles Camille Saint-Saens. This is made by 14 parts and their themes are animals. For example, hens and cocks, elephant, kangaroos, and so on. Especially, I like "Fossils." I like xylophone's pretty sound of the first part.
 When I listen to this music, I feel delighted and happy. If you have never listened to it, please listen!
 Thank you.

Bohemian Rhapsody

  Good evening, this is Misaki.

  My favorite music is Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen.
I like this song because I can enjoy three music styles at once. It means, this song includes three parts. Ballad, opera, and rock music.

Anyway, please listen to it!

  Each part of this song were used in some Japanese TV program, so you may have heard it. Didn't you think they were three different songs?
  The drummer, Roger Taylor sang a very high note at [4:08]. Please check his high-pitched voice; "♪For me～～～～～～!!!♪"

  Thank you.

BGM haha

I love these bgm. These are video game's bgm. I never listen to this without feeling sad.
Roxas who is Sora's nobody should have spent false summer vacation for recovering Sora's memories. And he lost precious friends. In the end, Roxas and Sora were combined. And, Sora woke up, Roxas disappered. He sleeps in Sora.

For many reasons, Roxas is a really sad character. This bgm is Roxas theme.



In fact, there is an origin of Roxas in Sora's heart. He is Ventus. He isn't a nobody, but a human. Roxas's face is exactly like Ventus's. (There are many deep reasons.)
He is a sad character, too.
This is Ventus theme. I love this, too.

My favorite movie

  Sorry to be late. This is Misaki.

  My uncles like watching movies, so I used to watch several movies until I came to Hirosaki. I wondering which movie should I introduce.

  I like many film directors, but the best person is Charles Chaplin. First of all, most of his movies are interesting. When you want to laugh, just watch them. Maybe most university students can understand what they say if you listen to their talk and sometimes see subtitles. And I also know some jokes are not used in Japanese (only in English?). He always plays in words.
  Somehow, his movies make me cry. He tells us impressive stories. "Modern times" and "The Great Dictator" have funny part and emotional part. Maybe other movies by him have those two parts.
