My favorite season

      My favorite season

  Jessica 

     When it comes to my favorite season, I would say “summer” without hesitation. I have three points to give.
     The first point is connected to the summer holiday. In the southern part of China, students would get a 2-month holiday in summer. As lucky as I am a student in the southern part of China, and I could get this wonderful holiday.
      During the holiday, I could go on a trip to relax myself. I had been to Beijing, Nanjing and other wonderful places. During the trip, you can not only relax yourself, but also meet with new guys to see what the real world is.  You could be smarter than before. And grow up as a man.
      What’s more, during the summer holiday, we can share the family time together, as well. Because of the hot weather, my mother and my father could also get a holiday to rest. So we kids could get together with them to talk more and to do things together to get much closer. Except holiday, everyone is so busy in my family. Mother and father are busy with work and my brother and I are busy with school. Our house seems like a hotel, we entered and ate and then slept and got out to work or school. Day by day, we just do the same thing. It’s so awful, isn’t it? However because of the summer holiday, we could change it. Moreover, I could go to see my cousins who don’t live nearby. And we sleep together to say some secret words. That’s our kids’ world. So, you see, because of the summer holiday, we can have so much fun. So I like it and like the summer best.
      The second point is connected to food. As we all know that summer is so hot that we need to relieve it. You may come up with the idea of using air-conditioner. But as far as I am concerned, I prefer the food. Such as ice cream, watermelon, peach and strawberry and so on. Although with the help of the advanced technology, nowadays you can have the access to that food easily in four seasons, the taste is best in summer. So I like summer best!
      Last but not least point is connected to process. As we all know, spring is a season with hope. You plan for the whole year in spring, just like planting a seed. And in summer, you spare no effort to take care of your seed. You push yourself so hard, with sweat streaming down your back. But it is meaningful for yourself, for your life. Because you can imagine that in autumn you would get a good harvest. You keep holding on to your future success. Nothing but only the process is the most charming one. Just wait and see your achievement. It’s like a test for all of us. You should wait , and you should working hard! So I like this process, and I like summer best!
       Summer is beautiful, charming and delicious. You should keep holding on with your courage. Believe it or not, summer is my favorite season. I like it best!

My golden week

                      My  golden week
                           Jessica
      When it comes to "Golden  Week ",most of us will smile and look forward to a wonderful vocation,including me.However ,things got changed this year .Why  ? Because I didn't go on a vocation as usual .Instead,I became a volunteer to guide for the tourists from all over the world,in Hiro-saki Park.

         From a tourist to a guide, it made a big change.It was the first time for me to be a guide ,especially for the languages, for I should act in Japanese,Chinese,and English!!!It was so challenging that it made me excited. On 
 29th of April, we had a brief information meeting about Hiro-saki Park and the beautiful cherry blossoms.And then I did some search for further information.On 3rd of May, the early morning, I  ran into a Chinese tourist,coming from the Yan Tai City, Shan Dong Province,China. It made me feel excited to see Chinese here.And then ,I just guided him through Hiro-saki Park in Chinese.It seemed that speaking in Chinese is more comfortable for me to make it not only clear but also interesting!When I spoke in Japanese ,I just felt that I was a machine not having feelings ,for I'm just not able to find the proper way to introduce things.That made me feel sad. And the first day was so hard.Not only from my confusion ,but also for the bad weather.It rained for a while and then stopped.And then it rained for a while and then stopped...What's more,there was so strong a wind that day. I felt a little sick that day.Ah...

           However,things get changed.On 4th of May , I met with a very excellent guide named Sao  Sato. He is a guide  who had worked for Hiro-saki P ark for over 8 years.He has a very beautiful booklet that  containing  all the information clearly and vividly.There are many tourists  make appointments  with him before they come here. He is so popular among tourists.I followed  him when he did the guide work .He was so excellent! The main point of his introduction was not only to tell tourists how beautiful it is, but also to tell them the reasons why they are so beautiful and special .If I were a tourist ,I would prefer him as my guide.

            I  learnt a lot  from him and other excellent guides,and then ,I tried to guide the Japanese people totally by myself . It was  hard  for the first time .But  when it turned to twice ,three times ,it worked in a right way .That made me excited!!!


            On 5th of May ,the last day for our guide .I did a good job and they gave me praise.

           This special journey ,I met a lot of people ,who not only expanded my experience of life and work ,but also understood some inner things,such as spirit ,love and human sympathy and so on.I was so grateful that I could be a guide .I received a lot from people around me ,and they were all my heroes to guide me in my life . I like this feeling .Trying to give ,not always demanding for yourselves.The world is ours. We should do something to make people feel happy and in turn we ourselves would be happy,as well.

            This golden week,I learnt a lot though it was so tiring.I felt so happy ! What's more ,I just experienced the whole process of  the cherry blossom blossoming .From a bud to a flower ,it was so amazing!!! It changed every day and night, like our life...No one knows what it will be in the future ,we just walked through the life tunnel,some day we may die ,like the cherry blossom's flowers to be fallen and scattered about.But we showed the beauty of ourselves to the world,to ourselves.Then that's enough.We don't have to regret .That's  the best statement,for life, for  ourselves.

            The golden week was gone ,but the experience remained, forever!

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.
