Listening practice

One of you asked me about listening practice on the Internet. I came up immediately with the following URLs, butf if you have more, tell us about it, either in the comments or in the blog itself.

Voice of America, especially for Special English.

(They have Hausa for listening practice, and other languages too.)

BBC and BBC News especially the World Service.

And finally, the largest directory I've found of Internet radio, including all kinds of music as well as all kinds of talk radio (or as they say in British English, "speech radio"): Shoutcast. You can search Shoutcast for almost anything imaginable.

Gaius julius Caesar

I watched movie which title is "Julius Caesar" in this March because I was in a hospital two weeks.
The movie seems to be a play and old.
And there wasn't a caption.
I understood little content...
The name Julius Caesar often appears in the text book on world's history.
(Did you take the course in high school?)
My image about him was a strong conqueror.
In the movie, however, he is descrived as a democratic person who is brave and kind.
Maybe, in the textbook, there are things which aren't written.



I am interested in history.
I watched "Troy", "Gradiateur"(Marcus Aurelius Antoninus appears in beginning!), "Peal Harbor", "King Arthur", and so on.
So, I want to read more books and watch more movies on history.
Do you have some recommends?

In addition, I read all volumes of "The Lord Of The Rings" in Japanese.
And I looked into John Tolkien.
I will start reading it in English★
Um..It will be a long jorney...

***Topic/how do you learn English?***

I would like to look for the way of learning English which is effective and interesting (if possible.)

I have been learning English for 6 years, but I don't think I can speak English well.

I want to have confidence in my ability of speaking English before I graduate this unibersity.

So I want to know everyone's way of study.

Hirosaki University.

This time,I want to introduce my favorite places in Hirosaki university.

First,the 3rd floor of common education building.
Our club usually singing at 310 classroom.
So I always go up the stairs near the teller of a scholarship.
After going up,please turn right and we can see the window across from us.
At this time,the view of this window is nice!:)
Oh,yes,please visit there AFTER SCHOOL.
Brcause the lighting of christmas tree is beautiful!

Second,the student hall.
You can find there on the 1st floor of common education building.
There is also near the terrace.
Oh,I love terrace too!
At terrace and student hall,you can eat,enjoy chat with your friends,and so on.
And our club sometimes practicing at student hall on the weekend.

In addition to this,there are a lot of nice places in our university!!

HIROSAKI UNIVERSITY IN SPRING

The scenery most I like is cherry blossams in Hirosaki university.
Hirosaki is famous for chrry blossams and Castle Hirosaki. I have been there every year. When I just entered Hirosaki university, I saw cherry blossams there. And I became look forward to university life with it.
I like cherry blossams very much. And foreign professor's house which are sorrounded with cherry blossams is very beautiful scenery. It is my favorite place.
Christmas will come soon. So we can see Christmas tree in Hirosaki university. It's make me feel happy. I recomend you to see it from the inside of general education building. Especially the scenery from the second floor is best. I wish the tree will be more tall and cherry blossams will bloom more.

About library

Today,I will wright about library.
When I have no class,I often spend many time in the library.That is the place where is very quiet and there are a lot of books.I often do my homework in the library,because there is good place to concentrate and there are many material.In fact,I use library every time when I have to do a report about grammer.It helps my studying very often.
And,I like reading simply book in there too. As has been mentioned,there is the very quiet place.Moreover,air is conditioned every day.And there are chairs and desks to sit down,to read books and to study.So library is very good place to read books rightly.When I am free,I buy books in seiyou store and to go library to read the books.
In fact,there are many kind of and a number of books.So it is fun to looking them around.

GOOD SIGHT

One of the thing what I like in Hirosaki university is, the sight from the 4th floor at Common Education Building. Sometimes I have to go the 4th floor, because of my class timetable. I used to think "How hard this is to go up the 4th!?". But, one day, I looked down the campus from there, casually...and I feel relief at the sight.
People are walking, talking, standing and eating with smile or serious face.
I like human. So I am in modern society course. I remember.
From then, I am looking forward to seeing from the 4th floor.
In the daytime, sometimes we can see beautiful blue sky nearly than on the ground. After sunset, we now can see pretty decolation lights with Christmas tree. I like the reindeer ornament,very much(*^^*)
Of course, views from other place are also good. For example, the sight from the Faculty of Science and Technology building is very high, so you can see more far.
My relax time is with ordinary schoollife.
How about you to look the view from here?

The class in arts

I had been in the art club for six years and I am interested in arts.
So, I take the class of the world in arts. It is a theme subject.
In the class, we can learn Japanese arts from the ancient Jyoumon to the modern Meiji　and watch many pictures.
Japanese arts are very dynamic and interesting. We can get various imaginations when we watch that. I am moved every time! Especially, I think Jyoumon culture and Edo period are great. About Jyoumon, you can know it at Kamegaoka cultural center in this university.
Not only the history about Japanese arts, but we can also learn the way of looking something.
The professor says, “The right way of watching is very important in arts and in daily life. Let’s watch anything in much detail! Discover something and thinking about that!!”
The professor is very kind and the arts which she painted are wonderful!
I am looking forward the class every week.

place in Hirosaki university

I learn Monday in Hontnyou campus, and learn in Bunkyo campus from Tuesday until Friday. So I'm not familiar with Honntyou campus.I want to introduce Bunkyo campus.

I often bought books in Seikyou store. I bought them to use for my reports and my hobby.
We can buy books at the 5 % off price. Sometimes we can buy more than 3 books at the 15% off price.We can buy every sort of books with Seikyou store.

I want to know the excellence of library in Hirosaki university. There are many collections of books in that library. And, the book which is not there can be borrowed from other universities.I often use the library to read psychological books, medical books and the books of philosophy. To use them we can make good reports.

I often use these place in this year. I suggest you use these places.If you use these places, your university life will be better.
