A Website for My Learning English

I often use a website to learn English, "weblio", so I want to introduce this website. Because this website has many numbers of vocabulary and many sample sentences, I use it to professionally translate into English or Japanese and build up my vocabulary. Also, this website has various English phrases and difficult expressions. Not only can English learners use this, but also English translators can use. Weblio is a technical website for learning English. Would you like to use weblio?

About a website for learning English

 I know a good website to improve my English, "iKnow!". Do you know this website? I was told to practice my English on this website by my English teacher when I was a high school student.

 This website is useful for various levels of English learners. It improves our English speaking, listening, writing and reading. And we can use it conveniently by our smartphones when we have only slight time. So if you have time to play a game on your smartphone, use "iKnow!" to practice English.

 I have a habit of watching a program "TED"on Internet every week. It's about presentation of English. On the program various speakers present various topics for about 15minutes. For example, Ziauddin Yousafzai speached about "My doughter, Malala" as you know, she was given the national youth peace prize. Another example, Bill Gates speaked about "Mosquitos, malaria and education."
There are many topics relating sciense, social issues, physical, architecture, and so on. "TED" has many topics and those always arouse my curiousity. The program is good not only for learning English but also making presentation skills up.

     Kendo gives a lot of things. First, I make friends through kendo. In fact, Some friends in Hirosaki University do or did kendo. Second, kendo tells me how important politeness is. And, the difference between kendo and other sports is that the player has to be considerate to even the opponent. Finally, it also tells patientness. So, I think it is important to continue to study, to do kendo and so on. In conclusion, thanks to kendo, I am what I am.

Last Augast, I went to a live concert of Chikuzen Sato with my friends. He is from Aomori and famous for good singer. Indeed, he sang very well at that concert. The place of the concert was small, so we could listen close by him. We were satisfied with the concert. I was able to have a nice time and want to go to his concert once more!!

We were fascinated with creatures that we had never seen. Especially, whale sharks were very wonderful. Whale sharks are the biggest sharks in the world. They were swimming comfortably in a huge aquarium and had strong presences. I would like to go there someday and watch other creatures carefully.

  I like watching the world superb view. I am interested in the World Heritage. So, I introduce the World Heritage which I think to be the most attractive now.
  First, I introduce Rhaetian Railway. Rhaetian Railway is a railway running across Italy and Switzerland. In other words, Rhaetian Railway is an alpine railway running across the Alps. We can see different Alps in the four season by Rhaetian Railway. The scenery to show from there is a superb view.
  Second, I introduce Ha Long Bay in Vietnam. Ha Long Bay means "The place a frying dragon got down on". Ha Long Bay is Vietnamese first-rate beauty spot dotted with islands of 3000. So, Ha Long Bay is sometimes called Magician, Ghost, Turtle and Game fowl because most of the island have a strange shape. Ha Long Bay is mysterious place.
  I like studying the World Heritage for such reasons.

 Hello. I will talk about some memories in New Zealand. When I was a second year student in high school, I went to NZ and did a homestay for ten days. I was uneasy before going because it was my first time going abroad. But my host family was very kind and all the time there was exciting for me, so I had a great time in NZ. People in NZ were very friendly. When I got on a bus, I was talked twice. I was mistaken for a Chinese then. When I lost my way, a kind man talked to me and told me the way. It was really saved.
 All things there are my favorite memories.I want to go NZ again and another foreign country!

Meningits is very dangerous illness. First, it has two main kinds. One is viral meningitis. It is fairly common and usually doesn't cause serious illness. The other is bacterial meningitis. It's not as common, but it's very serious. Second, the treatment of two kind of meningits is different. If you have viral meningitis, you will receive supportive care, such as intravenous fluids to prevent dehydration as well as painkillers. In most case, it resolves on its own with time. On the other hand, if you have bacteria meningitis, you will receive antibiotics intravenously. Finally, the most symptoms are common. For example, fever, headaches, stiff and painful neck, vomiting and seizures. In conclusion, bacterial meningitis makes patients dead without the appropriate treatment though viral meningitis is spontaneous recovery. So, doctor must understand the difference of them.

Wish upon a star

             Looking up at the stars can help you to sophisticate your several ideas. In today's world, there are too many electrical devices around us and we often be controlled our lifestyles. In result, we lose a poetic sense and forget to dream. Then, why don't you go out and look up on the stars? By making you be far away from the world and think about your glorious future, like a blight stars, you can improve your ideas.

    I belonged to chorus club in my school, when I was high school student, so I'd like to introduce chorus. First, each person's vocalization is important in chorus. For good vocalization, loss of strength of the upper part of our body is necessary. Then, for this, we should stand steadily, streighten our back, look up a little, so in short, we should have good posture. Second, the balance of sound of the chorus is the most important. We should listen each other carefully, and  we should not to retire and stick out from whole sound. Please try to sing with paying attention this points from now on.

Hi, I love Japanese animations, so I'll talk about one of my favorite animations, "GUILTY CROWN." I like it for three reasons. First, I sympathize the animation's hero, Shu Oma. He represents the human's weakness, ignominiousness and growth. He is full of humanity. Second, I love two opening songs, "My Dearest" by supercell and "The Everlasting GUILTY CROWN" by EGOIST. They excite me, so I listen to them to increase my motivation. Third, the establishment is great. I'm attracted to it, so I can pleasurably see it to the end. Therefore, GUILTY CROWN is a wonderful animation. Please see it!

Hello everyone. Today I would like to talk about my dream. My dream is to be a doctor and I want to be a specialist of headache, especially migraine.

Do you have proper understanding of headache? Do you have heard the word ”migraine”? I’ll explain simply. Many headaches are caused by tension when a person is nervous, stressed, or tired. Headaches also commonly result from sustained tightening of the muscles of the head and neck. Eyestrain is another common cause of headaches.

A migraine headache is a recurrent, severe headache. Migraine are characterized by throbbing pain that frequently occurs on one side of the head. This pain lasts from 4 to 72 hours. In some individuals, migraines are brought about by eating certain foods such as chocolate, cheese, and wine. Migraines may become worse by movement or physical activity. They are typically accompanied by nausea, vomiting, and sensitivity to light and sound. Although a cure is not known, there are treatments for stopping a migraine once it has started. In Japan, about one in ten people have migraines and four fifths of patients are women.

I have been suffering from migraine since I was junior high school student. So I am interested in headache treatments. I think it’s important not only to deal with migraines when they occur, but also to prevent them during daily life. In the future, I want to do research on cure and prevention of headaches. In addition, I’m aiming to be a doctor who can understand the suffering of patients by using my headache experience.

In order to make my dream come true, I have to acquire broad range of knowledge and specialized skills. Although it is not easy to be a good doctor, I want to try my best to study at this university.

Thank you for hearing.

About Friendship

I'll tell you about "friendships". I am always troubled with my friendship since my school days. You could not imagine there is a  person who think that thing if you were in schools, but I did so. As soon as he or she can be possible, they are tend to make friends with others. That is a reason that I could not figure out it. To begin with, in common, we could communicate with others who met in the first time? I don't think so, because I think that I am worried about being rude, or bored. In fact, I want to improve myself, so I'll activete myself.

 Hi today I will talk about my trip to Hakata. Hakata is placed in Kyushu, a south part of Japan. I went to Hakata with my friends by Sinkansen this summer.

 Our main purpose of this travel was to get omamori at Dazaifu-Temmangu for one of our friends,who are studying hard to enter a medical school. Coming back from Hakata, we sent it to her with messages. She was really pleased. And I hope everything around her goes well. 

We also enjoyed eating in Hakata. We ate many delicious sweets, tasty motsu-babe, and so on. Motsu-nabe is a famous food in Hakata. It was my first time to eat it. I liked it. 

 Through our trip, I was always happy because I could talk a lot with my friends all day. The friends and I have been friends since we were junior high school students. Although we now live far away each other, we can easily contact with by cellphones. I'm looking froward to see them again this winter at Seijin-shiki.
