Lost in space

I was impressed by their family love.
But I want to know why Jupiter2 was able to warp though there was a little fuel.
Can you explain ?

Lost in Space

The movie 'Lost in Space' is very nice. The last scene, the son find that his father loves him, is so emotional. And the acting of Gary Oldman is very fascinating.

Hello!!

Hello!! My name is Daichi Kudo. I couldn't login at Hirosaki university, so I use my father's computer. I am majoring in the global enviramental science.

Hello!!

Hello!! My name is Naoki Tsujishima. I was in the hospital from 7,3 to 7,15, because I broke my left leg.Today, I went to the university after long time.

The movie "Lost in Space" was amusing to me. I had fun. But I couldn`t understand why spiders attacked people. Where did they come from?

Lost in space

It is regrettable, but I couldn't understand this well for my lack of English skill.However, there is only one thing I think it is strange. Since Dr.smith was badly injured, Why he is alive?　It is a mysterｙ.

Lost in space

"Lost in space " was very interesting .
But There were some parts that I were not able to be understood .
First,"Why did they start on a journey to space?"
Second,"What was that yellow creature?"

Please tell me.

My favorite movie

My favorite movie is "Notting Hill".
I think Julia Roberts is best actress !!
This movie is simple and gives us a dream.
Let's watch this movie !!

My favorite movie

This is my favorite movie "Harry Potter". This movie is excited very much. Magic is an identification of courage!

I feel sick. How about you?

Lost In Space

I don't understand the reason why they happened to skip time. What happened? Please tell me the reason.

The problem of learning English

I studyed reading and writing skill in high school. But, there are a few opportunities hearing and speaking English. That may be why it is hard for me to hear and speak English. In addition English grammar and pronunciation are different from Japanese. It is not easy to master English.

I like movies

Do you know this movie? Name is 'sekainotyuusindeaiwosakebu'.

If you have a boyfriend or girlfriend, you must watch this movie!

English

I want to speak English well, but now I can't speak. I have studied English since junior high school. However, I can't speak and listen to English...why?? I must practice English more harder,becouse I want to go to U.S.A to study.

My future

I'm sorry, I',m late. I want to be a physical thepapist. So I study aabout physical therapy now, but it is very hard! Every day I study about it. I must learn ever bones , muscles and nerves!
This is very basical knowledge...

Lost in space

This movie is very exciting! But English is very difficult. I didn't know why they went to space, why they buttled with spider. The little boy was very clever! He made time machine !
I wanted subtitle...

Ｌｏｓｔ ｉｎ ｓｐａｃｅ

It is difficult for me to understand the moive.Because the actors speaking is very eary.But I can understand that this movie is very exciting.

I don't understand that he spider Doctor tried to kill old William..............

The movie's literary genealogy

I forgot to explain why the movie family were the "Robinsons".

Does anyone know about "Robinson Crusoe" by Daniel Defoe? It was published in 1719.

To make a long story short, Robinson Crusoe was followed by Swiss Family Robinson by Johann Wyss. That was followed by the science fiction series Space Family Robinson which was followed by the TV series Lost in Space.

Hollywood has been making a lot of films based on TV shows that baby boomers (e.g. me) remember from when we were young. Bewitched is the latest, but Lost in Space is typical, even to the extent of having members of the original TV cast play cameo roles in the film version.

Lost in space

It was very difficult to understand this movie without a subtitle. And one of the doubt I had in this film is why the spider like Dr.Smith tried to kill himself who came from the past.

"LOST IN SPACE" was exciting and thrilling.
But the people in the movie speaked so quickly that it was difficult for me to understand what they said correctly.
I could not catch the reason why they went to space.
Please tell me.

Please tell me!

I couldn't understand the reason why the spider Doctor tried to kill old William in the future planet. They have lived together for 20 years, haven't they? I got confused.

About the movie in class

What about the movie you saw in class? What didn't you understand? I'm sure there must have been lots of the movie that you didn't understand.

This week's assignment is to ask the rest of the class about the parts of the movie that you didn't understand, and to answer others' questions by writing in comments to their questions on this blog.

In the meantime, I'm having a very wonderful time in Australia at the CISH (Comité International des Sciences Historiques) conference. The panel with my paper was very well attended.

One of my favorite moveis is "umizaru".
I'm sure that if you watch this movie, you will not only laugh but also move.
This movie taugh me that faith and friendship were very important.
Why don't you watch this movie???

My favorite movie

My favorite movie is "THE BIG BLUE".
This movie is very beautiful.
The director of this movie is Luc Besson.
I like his movies very much!

Photo

My favorite movie

My favorite movie is Ima,ainiyukimasu. This is sad movie, but it is a heart warms movie. It's sound track is very wonderful and the scenery is really beautiful. Please watch this movie!

My favorite movie

I like 'The Lord Of The Rings' very much. This movie is long and has many characters so at first, it was hard for me to understand the story. But the scale is marvelous and some SFX makes me laugh. Now, I like it !

The Movie I Like

I like this movie, too.
The story is that Forrest Gump, who is a little feeble-minded but is pure-hearted, lives an evenful life.
For example, he became a football player at university,
helped fellow soldiers and was confered a decoration during the Vietnam War, etc.
Once, try seeing this, please.

I don't go to the movies so often. But I like movies very much.
I like adventure movies like "The MUMMY".
It is a very exciting movie.
I also like "Dr.Dolittle". Because I like animals and comedy.

I love the movie 'Drumline'. It is such a high-energy movie, the drumming and the marching are so excellent. The final drum battle is very exciting and it is also my favorite performance in this movie.

I really like movies. The otherday, I went to the cinema and watched "War of the world". But I did not like it too much. I could not understand that story.
One of my favorite movie is "A.I.". The movie really moved me to tears! The early stage of the story is sad, but I think the story has a happy ending.

Addams Family

There are many films I like and one of them is the "Addams Family Values". There's no such good reasons for that , but thinking of reasons I had already seen Addams Family in "Scoobie doo" on TV so the characters were familiar to me. To mention one more reason the actors fit the model of the characters. Especially Angelica Huston fits the role of a mother who seems like a witch.

films: What do you like?

I notice some of the people are putting photos from movies on the blog, and I know that most people like movies. I myself think film is the most important art form of the 20th century, maybe of the 21st century, too.

This week, let's talk about movies on the class blog. What kind of movies do you like? Why? I know many Japanese, especially men, seem to like action movies, maybe because the English is not very difficult. Many Hollywood action movies lose money in the States, so they depend on the Japanese market to make a profit.

My favorite action movie is The Last Action Hero by Arnold Schwarzenegger. It's sort of a satire of action movies.

I mentioned today that one of my favorite directors is Robert Altman. Another of my famous directors is Akira Kurosawa. His movie "The Seven Samurai" was voted one of the top action movies at the Internet Movie Database.

I like Shakespeare on film, too. I think if Shakespeare were alive today he would write for Hollywood. As you can probably guess, I especially like Kurosawa's two Shakespeare movies, "Throne of Blood" (Macbeth) and "Ran" (King Lear).

But enough about my taste in film. What do YOU like? Please include links to sites about the films you like, and if you can find some pictures, put those up for us, too.

And enjoy the end of "Lost in Space"! I'll have an assignment about it up for you next week. (^_^)

Here's the Holocaust Memorial in Paris.

Here's the Holocaust Memorial in New Jersey, with the World Trade Center in the background.

I took all those pictures myself. :-)

English Problem

I have a lot of problems in studying English.
For example,I can't express what I think and write sentences in English well.
Because I am lacking of vocabulary .
So I have to study vocabulary and practice writting sentences.

As Thai is my first language, therefore when I am going to speak in English my problem is I always take time to think in Thai first and then translate into English. This is the reason why my English is not fluently as much as I would like to be. One more thing is about the grammar. I think my grammar is quite poor and this causes my writing not so good as well.

assign ment at 6/2

I have contact with English on stady at the other　English class and listen to English music at my room.The English class is 3A.I like English punk rock music.I listen to the music every day.

Problem of study with English

I have studied English for my junior high school.But I can't read,write and speak well now.Sometime I can't understand this English lesson.I want to know what do I do to well my English.

I have a lot of problems with using English.
Especially, I have a small vocabulary.
So I cannot make up compact and clear sentences quickly.
That's why I have little opportunity to speak in class.

Listening.

I am not good at the listening.
So I often listen to favorite western-style music.
I love "Carpenters" because their performance is very nice.
Please listen to them!!

My problem with learning English

I can read English ,but I am poor at listining and writing.
So my English is not practical.

problem

A Problem of lerning English is speaking.
We can speak much less than read.
This is because we didn't lern speaking.
We only lerned reading and easy writing.

The problem of learning English in Japan

In high school in japan, we often study speaking English rather than writing it. That's because we Japanese are good at writing or reading , but we are not good at speaking and listening. Also, it is very different between japanese grammer and English grammer. For example, Jpanese structure is S O V ,S C V, and so on. On the other hand, English structure is S V O, S V C, S V O C・・・.So it is difficult for us to learn English a little.

Learning English

I think although we (including me, of course) , the Japanese,
are good at reading and writing English,
we aren't at speaking and listening it.
That's because the Japanese people traditionally translated
the documents of the West (Euroe and America)
and widened their knowledge.
There, they don't need the skills of speaking and listening and
we come to be afraid of making mistakes(grammer,pronunciation,etc).
So, now, we need to change the stale and passive traditions.
We have to study not only English but also Japanese itself.

I have a lot of problems with English.
Especially, my listening ability is very poor.
So, I cannot catch what they say in English well,
and I cannot answer them in English well.

My English problem is grammar and poor vocabulary. That’s why, I can’t write sentences but simple ones.Whenever I write sentences in English, I need to look up words and usage in a dictionary. So it takes much time...

My problems with English

The weakest point of my English is to use English correctly. My grammar is still bad and it's getting worse these days. So it is difficult for me to correct the grammar of the draft which I wrote for homework by myself. Also I get confused to decide which preposision to use in writing a phrase in English. As it differs from Japanese it's not good enough just to translate from Japanese to English.

My problem of learning English

I have studied English since I entered junior-high.
6 years have passed, But I can't speak English well yet.
I can read and write it a little, but I can't speak it at all!!
Were there some ploblems in my studying English?
English is a language. What is the sense of silent language?
What is the best way to become English speaker?

The next blog assignment

How about posting a message about any problems we have with English. Other students can offer comments about how to overcome those problems. What aspects of English do we have problems learning or studying? How can we learn those aspects more easily?

Let's all help each other overcome our problems with English! (^_^)

(That means everyone should post at least one comment about their weaknesses or problems with English, as well as a blog entry of their own.)

I introduce this site to you.
This site is written in English and Japanese.

Let's link!

For this week's assignment I'd like everyone to find an Internet site useful for learning English and link to it in their blog post. If you're in the page for writing a new message, you will see six buttons above the main message box. The third button from the left, after "bold" and "italic", is for links. Select some text in your text box, then push the "link" button.

For example I am going to link to a site with a list of online English lessons. I can also link to an online dictionary, Voice of America's Special English site, and a list of language related sites in Japan.

Please find some interesting language sites of your own and link to them here.

English

I like TV program on N.H.K.
The name is"Hyakugodehajimeru eikaiwa"
Meaning is "English conversation which you can start with 100 words"
Let's watch it!

I sometimes contact with English on television at night. When brushing my teeth clean and watching television, I sometimes see a television program of English conversation. Native speakers appear on almost all of the programs. Most of the plograms are easy, but I occasionally see difficult one. It is so interesting for me.

Happiness is found along the way, not the end of the road!!

Well, I am a foreign student here, so I use English everyday to communicate with my friends and teachers. Sometimes, my foreign friends who are native English speakers could not understand my English. But I do not care, I just try to use English as much as possible. And Thank God!! My friends are very kind because they try to understand what I say and they help me to correct my English, too. I think my English is improved a lot more than before because of this! Moreover, I have to write reports and present my own research in English (because I am not good at Japanese presentation (^_^;)). In addition, I am a music addicted person. I always listen to the music. Not only while I am reading books, doing homework, doing experiments in laboratory, but also when I am riding a bicycle to any place.

I contact with English on watching American movie. I can’t understand the story unless I read the Japanese subtitles, but I can hear some words. That makes me happy. In theater, we can read Japanese subtitles, but on TV, we are not given Japanese if you want to hear actor’s real voice in English. I don’t like dubbing voice in Japanese so I often watch movies in English. I hope it improves my English skill.

I take 3 classes about English.
They are "English IIIA", "EnglishIIIB", and "ComunicationIA."
So I have contact with English in "comunicationIA" class except EnglishIIIB. I want to get either elementary school teacher's license or English teacher's. The class is necessary to get a English teacher's license.

And, I used to play "online game."
At the place, there are not only Japanese but also many foreignors. I talked with Amercan, British, Korean, Chinese, Germany, and so on in English. I thought English is a widely-used language. 　I don't play the game now, but I can say it was a good experience in terms of English.

I usually don’t contact with English except class.
But these days, I intend to read some books written in English.
Because I think my ability of English is poor, and I like reading novels.
And when I can use the Internet at my apartment, I will write in this blog more often.

I have a friend in Canada and Singapore so I write letters to them. Also I like to watch foreign films and I try not to see the Japaneses subtitles. Recently I began to watch the abc news. When I first saw that program I couldn't understand what the newscasters were saying, but it's becoming easier to listen little by little. Nothing can be done without practice!

I have contact with English on the Internet in my room on Sunday.
I like the foreign musics. Sometimes I access my favorite artist's web site.
On the web, all things (biography, lyrics, faq,etc) are written in English, of course.
So, I willy-nilly have to contact with English if I'd like to see those things.
Although the lyrics of the songs are written in English,
they are often hard to grasp.
Therefore, I listen to the music not to undestand the lyrics
but to get used to English, and how to speak and pronounce it.
That is impossible only when listening to the Japanese ones, I think.

Where is English?

Let's all post where and when we have contact with English outside of class! Class is not the only place to learn English these days, so I think we should share with each other our contact with English, whether in letters, on the Internet, on television, etc.

What do you do over the next week to learn English outside of class? One hour and a half once a week is not enough to learn English, so this is the place to share with others how you practice English (listening, reading, writing or speaking) elsewhere.

My dog

Hello, everyone.
Today, I will talk about my dog.
My family keeps a dog.
The dog is female and brown spotted white dog.
She is small and lives indoor.
We love her very much. Especially, my father cherishes her.
I live in Hirosaki alone, so I miss her very much.
I will go home to see her on this summer vacation.
She always sleeps recently because she is a little old.
So I worry about her health.
If there is anybody that likes dogs, shall we talk about dogs?

Do you like Ekiben?

Whenever I ride a limited express, I am looking forward to eat Ekiben. Even Ekiben fair excite me.
My favorite Ekiben is one that I ate on Tsugaru express when I came to Hirosaki for the entrance exam. I forgot the name but it is oshizushi which is a kind of sushi with salmon or something, probably made in Hachinohe and awarded the prime minister prize. It was too big for me but delicious!
Another favorite is one of Hamamatsu, Shizuoka prefecture. It was hitsumabusi which is rice mixed with eel. Hamamatsu is famous for eel and Lake Hamana.
Enjoying trip makes Ekiben delicious. I would like to go to many places and eat many other delicious Ekiben.

Today I went to a book shop to buy a book about TOEFL and I found that TOEFL was much more difficult than I thought. I wanted to take the test in June, but it seems impossible to get a high score in a month. So I'll try next time. The worst problem about the test was that I can't write an essay in a short time. And also my verbal skills are too poor. The lack of vocabulary are killing me.

Hello!

Hello everyone! My name is Nagaya Kaneko. I'm from Akita.
My major is education; I'm only student of this major in this class.
So I don't have friends in this class. Please get along with me.
I had edited my blog since I was a high school student.
I want to show it, but I don't fix it long long time. So next time...

I tended to absent this class. I got a serious cold second times in Hirosaki!
I was weak, like a slime in "Dragon Quest". But now I'm so healthy!
So I study English seriously and I'd like to get skills of speaking English.
And I want to study abroad someday. I want to be a teacher of developing country in the future.

Thank you for reading my introduction. I hope to see more of you:D

P.S. Mr.Philips, I'm sorry I couldn't answer your question at today's class.
I understood about "paragraph". But I was too nervous. I'll do my best next class!!!

Let's get a discussion going!

Hi, class! (@_@)/~~~~

This week's assignment is to get discussions going. Let's try to make out messages this week ones that interest the other students enough to get them to post comments, and let's look for messages that interest us enough to induce us to post comments on them.

I would also like to ask students to go back to their blogger profiles, to make sure that I can identify them when it comes time to grade their work on the blog. Some of you I won't even be able to identify. Look at my profile, where I entered some details about myself, my likes, dislikes, etc. and try to tell us more about yourself through your profile.

By the way, some of you have your own blogs, which is very nice. I'm not requiring it for this class, but if some of the private blogs are better than the class blog I may switch to requiring personal blogs for all students next semester. I'll have to think about that. Tell me what you think about the idea, as a comment here.

My English In the Future

In the future, I want to speak English well
and make it one of my practical skills,which include medicine.
So I plan to study, speak and write it hard.
Now incidentally, in six years later, I am going to stay and work
in Aomori.
Therefore, I should undestand not only English
but alsoTsugaru dialect. It'll definitly be my weak point!
While I am a student, I want to come in contact with its
culture and tradition.

I want to ...

I want to work as a member of Medecins Sans Frontiers for some year in the future.To be able to communicate in English is one of a condition, so I want to speak English fluently, and catch what people say in English.

I really want to be good at speaking English!!

I like studying English, but I'm not good at speaking English. One day,when I was asked about the route by an American, I felt tense and I didn't tell it well. I was very annoyed. From now on, probably, it will become very important to comunicate with people anytime, needless to say, in medical field. So I really want to be good at speaking English and I shoud study English hard. I do my best!

My purpose of learning English

The new medical treatment method and a new curative medicine always come from overseas.
Therefore I study English, in order to know the newest medicine.
For reading a paper, it is necessary to get used to a medicine word.

Herro everyone

Herro everyone. My name is Atsushi okitsu, and I am 19 years old. I had had the days of an entrance exam rejectee for one years, and managed to enter the medical department of this university. My favorite foods are pizza, razania, icecream , and so on. And my favorite sports are skiing, baseball, and table-tennis. But now I belong to tennis club, and I am really enjoying it, too. I have no brothers or sisters, and my family members are only my parents and me. Our family have moved ten times since I was born, and now our hometown is Tokyo. My principle is NEVER GIVE UP. Thank you.

dream

I study Engish because I like hip-hop music.
I want to go N.Y in order to listen to hip-hop music and go to clubs.
So I'd like to be able to speak frequentry.

weekly archives

I've changed the archive settings on the blog to list blogs weekly. I'm hoping this will make it easier for me to be sure that everyone is writing a blog entry each week.

Introduction

Hello, everyone!
I'm sorry for having been late for introducing me to you.
I like the computers, but they probably dislike me, I think.
Now, my name is Yoshihiro Tomioka. I major in medicine.
I have not yet decided what course I am going to do in the future.
I'm from Ashikaga city, Tochigi prefecture. Ashikaga city is famous
for Ashikagagakkou, which is the oldest shool in Japan, and
for Mitsuo Aida's birthplace.
I like listenig to the foreign (not Japanese) music, reading the novels
of Haruki Murakami and a monthly music magazine, the CROSS BEAT.
I belog to the ski club. There are other three members of the club in this class.
They are very reliable.
By the way, I would like to make this class fruitful and beneficial.
So let's study hard and enjoy it!

My dream

I want to become good at English because I want to get knowledge from literature written in English. As a medical student, I think I should read a medical journal. In the future, I must do it. English is difficult for me, but I want to overcome it.
