A sunset glow

I took the picture when I was a highschool student.
I took it on the way to go shopping. It was very beautiful!! I have never seen such a beautiful sky.

Movie

Pure love movies are in fashion in Japan for some years. This boom was sparked by Winter Sonata, a korean TV drama. Recently, Socrates in Love attracted 6.2million viewers. According to the survey of The Daily Yomiuri, pure love movies hold the top three of box office profits of Japanese movie in 2005. We can see all the rage of pure love movies from these data. One Korean cultural critic says that a savage social atmosphere of late such as terrorism and the Iraq War is the reason behind the boom of pure love movie in Japan. And he says a depression in these years influence too. These things show that the boom of pure love movie in Japan is likely to continue for a while.

Word processor

Word processor are useful, but sometimes handwriting is better than writing by a word processor. First, every time we use a word processor, we can write beautiful and well-balanced characters. Therefore many univercity students use them to write an assignment. Office workers also use them to make a lot of documents. Word processor are necessaries at many schools, offices and so on. On the other hand, characters of word processors occasionally give us serious impression. For example, a letter written by a word processor is not so friendly. Against that, a handwriting letter give us a good impression. Thus, word processor are convenient, however, in some cases we cannot use them to write.

Advertising

Recentry, biased reports which are sent by huge media has been growing up as effective advertising.
Advertising is devided into positive advertising and nagative advertising.
Positive advertising, as you think, emphasize good aspect of the thing or the man.
On the other hand,nagative advertising emphasize bad image to warn people about homicide, marchandise camouflage, corruption case, and so on.
Ofcourse, it is important to listen to werning and prepare for danger.
But the report become heater and heater, stricter and stricter we drive the persons concerned.
For example, in 2005, a news about structural document camouflage case had been overheated, and the accused's wife leaped to death. If the media had not advertised supposition or private things about the accused, she would not sufferd such.
Moreover, especially negative advertising is apt to be creeped in mind of the masses compared to positive advertising.
Because it is advertised as if it is real by news program and news paper, not entertainment program and magazin.
In conclusion, it is important for us to collect reliable information and judge correct thing by myself, not rely on advertising.

Advertising

There is various advertising around us.Advertisements tell us some information in a moment,so they are very characteristic.For example,we get some leaflets with the newspapers in the morning.Most of them have big letters and colorful pictures to tell the information with an impact.An impact is important to impress the information.Some good advertising shows us popular TV stars,unique characters,attractive designs,and so on.We often make our images of the information to see them.Advertising also gives us imagination,so we can enjoy that of characteristics.

Adveryising

Advertisement has both merits and demerits. We can get many information on advertisement. For example, price, the place of origin and so on. But we cannot see quality of goods. Therfore we must ascertain reliability of advertising.

Movies

Movies are produced in many countries. For example, Hollywood is famous for producing movies. Japanese movie is famous,too. Japanese movie has received prize in various film festival. For example, Takeshi Kitano, Hayao Miyazaki are very famous globally. Movies have influenced to our society.

Assignment

I am sorry too late to introduce for practicing English web site.

http://www.srgr.net/

This is the web site of English idiom and daily conversation.
It is very useful for us to learn daily English conversation.
Please come in the web site.

Advertising

Advertising is combined art.
We can know various informations through ads. It's because not only we can read words, but also we can understand what ads is saying. I mean ads have an implied information.
What is the implied information? That isn't words informations but color, illustrations and so on. In other words, the implied information stimulate our imagination. There are good examples about this. Look at picture(1) and (2). You surely know which is the more impressive of the two.
Sentences can convey informations accurately but usually have an only meaning. That is, from one sentence we perceive one restricted information which includes no room to inflate our imagination. So, designers of ads consider how to tell these implied informations. They try to produce fresh designs to draw our attention by using color, illustrations and so on.
In conclusion, advertising is an artwork which consists of whole artistic elements like a tactful phrase, elegant composition, effective color selection, significant illustrations and so on.

assignment

word processor

Owing to word processor, a burden which office worker had before it was made is decreasing. At that time, when editing document, workers was made to type accurately with typewriter. This task was very trouble because one type need power more than word processors. Now, typing with word processor is very easy. Including this, there are several improved point at word processor.when we want to write same sentences, for example, it can copy quickly and easily. This is very good for workers because they can do tasks easily than before. This example shows that office workers can get a lot of free time.

Learning English on the Internet

I'm not going to introduce myself here. I already did that in class, and you can find out more about me from my website, e.g. the FAQs page. Instead I'm going to show you the kind of website you're supposed to find this week, and how to post information about them. You only have to find one website, but I thought I would post one for each of the four language skills.

KCRW was my favorite radio station when I went to UCLA. It was just the local, community college radio station, but they had some of the best music, and the widest variety, of any station. When they started an African music show I even got to go down to the station and share some of my albums with the DJs. Now I listen to them on the Internet, where they have turned into one of the biggest stations in Internet Radio. I especially enjoy their news and podcasts. The level of their English might be a little above yours, but you might like their music.

A source of easier English for listening might be the ESL podcast site.

You can read English just about anywhere on the Internet, and even many sites that aren't basically English usually have English pages for international visitors. The Japan Times website might be of interest to you, though, since they have lots of information about Japan in English.

Writing English is becoming more and more common on the Internet, since many blogs and news sites allow visitors to leave comments. Of course this blogsite is for you to practice writing, and you are free to start your own blog if you want, but such sites as Japan Today have room for many comments from visitors. Feel free to jump into the arguments and flame away!

There are lots more links about studying English, other languages and linguistics on my languages links page. Feel free to check it out any time.

Free Assignment - POEM -

“I am”

“Snow” didn’t know how to stop snowing.
But “Rain” knew how easy it is to stop everything.
When your hair fell into tears,
I had to talk with “Snow” to tell him how the things happened.
Then, “Rain” was laughing at everything we did,
And “Wind” was laughing at “Rain".

After a while…

When the air came to be sonorous, music began.
When I listened to the music that existed between silence and noise, I fell in the dept.

There was nothing.
But nothing was everything I wanted.

I was a confused boy like “Snow”, “Rain” and “Wind”.
Now, I am a crazy guy falling into the dept to get nothing.

Blog Assignment

I am researching on the relationships between the ratio of students receiving tentative job offers and the rates of job availability, so I introduce my consideration about them.

Judging from the datas shown in the graph, the rate of job availability in recent is almost 1 time, so all students can find jobs, but in reality many of them become neet or freeters. In fact, students don‘t work hard if they manage to find the job which is different from the one they hope, and they quit their jobs finally or don`t go their workplace from the beginning. Thus, government must work out the ideas for giving students the jobs they hope.

This is the annual change of the mortality rate. According to this graph, the mortality rate of Aomori prefecture is higher than that of national average.

Education in Bolivia

Education System

School leaving age: 13


Literacy rate: 86%

Numbers in tertiary education: 278,763 students



[my opinion]
According to the graph, the compulsory education of Bolivia is until one student becomes 13 years old, on the other hand, that of Japan requires the graduation of junior high school. Not the degree but the age is the essential factor of the education in Bolivia.
In fact, Bolivia is one of the least industrialized countries in the world, however, there are many colleges that are much older than Tokyo university or Kyoto university that are the oldest and most authoritative ones in Japan. But there are not so many students who can enter the colleges. Poverty is one of the biggest reasons for this. It proves that the problem of money can deprive people of the chances to learn and study.

According to this graph,the number of traffic accident and the toll in Chiba prefecture are increasing. I hope that more and more people drive safely and the number decreases.

Here comes the sun, do do do do
Here comes the sun, and I say

Little darling
It feels like years since it's been here
Here comes the sun, do do do do
Here comes the sun, and I sayIt's all right

This week's assignment is linking and quoting. Here is a link to a PowerPoint presentation of Lincoln's "Gettysburg Address" for you.

Here is the actual address:

Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent a new nation, conceived in liberty and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal. Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation or any nation so conceived and so dedicated can long endure. We are met on a great battlefield of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field as a final resting-place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this. But in a larger sense, we cannot dedicate, we cannot consecrate, we cannot hallow this ground. The brave men, living and dead who struggled here have consecrated it far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living rather to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us--that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion--that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain, that this nation under God shall have a new birth of freedom, and that government of the people, by the people, for the people shall not perish from the earth.

My favorite season

I'm sorry to be late.

My favorite season is winter, for I like snow.

Snow is white. White is beautiful!!

Also, we can do various things with snow; for example, play yuki-gassen, diving into snow, making kamakura, and making yuki-daruma.

This picture is Hirosaki Castle in winter. There are some yuki-doros in this. Yuki-doro is a figure made of snow. They are also beautiful.

How about going to Hirosaki Park not only in spring but also in winter?

MY FAVORITE SEASON

My favorite season is fall.In fall we can see beautiful flowers,singing birds,confortable breeze,and exquisite moon.These beauties of nature are called `KACHOUHUUGETSU` in Japanese.In fact,nowadays we are too busy to notice these beauties of nature.However if only we look around carefully,lilsten to our surround for a little time,sharpen our sense,and look up to the sky at night,then we could notice these beauties of nature.

I took this photograh in HIROSAKI castle park.If only you look around a little carefully,then you also could find some birds like this.Shall we go to HIROSAKI castle park?

Blog Assignment~my favorite season~

I`m sorry, Mr. philips. Last week I was sick, so I couldn`t join in last class.

My favorite season is summer! Summer has many attractions.

At first, it is getting dark more slowly, so we can go out even at night! And we can enjoy watching fireworks at night. I love small sparklers especially, because its light disappears in seconds and its fragility lets me feel sentimentally.

Secondly, we have long vacation in summer! This year I`m going to go to seas with my friends or...if possible, with new sweetheart.

Third, we don`t need many clothes in summer, so cost for clothes is relatively cheeper than other seasons! This is very good to poor college students like me.

For the three reasons, I love summer!

winter.....

My favorite season is winter. In this season, I am extremely happy and deeply calm, listening to the sound that snow falls onto the ground. But the best reason for this is because my love loves winter very much. She says, “most people might say they hate winter because of its severe cold, but this cold makes me want to stay with my love, next to my love with love…” The word always makes me deeply …fall into loving her. So…,I love winter.

My favorite season

My favorite season is Spring.There are several reasons.First,Spring is the beginning of a year,so I set a new goal in Spring,and ezpect that I will be a better person in the end of the year.Whether I realze that goal or not,I expect Spring.Second,the temprature is mild in Spring.Thirdly,I like flowers,especially cherry blossoms.Cherry blossoms come out every Spring.Therefore,I like Spring the best.

My favorite season

I like summer because Koushien is held. Koushien is the National High-School Baseball Tournament. I have played baseball for 9 years. I like baseball very much. So, I am looking forward to watching Koushien every year. Therefore, I like summer the best.

sesame street

Last week,I watched a video "Sesame street" . It was very interesting, and useful for learning English. Therefore I think that if students saw a sesame street in junior school they can learn English more easily.

SESAMI STREET

SESAMI Street was interesting because there were songs which help children to memorize letters and numbers.We have songs like that in Japan but I think Americans' use effective animations.

Sesami Street

We watched 'Sesami Street' on video last week.It was fun to me.Especially,I was interested in ABC song.Big Bird was very pretty.Most of the words are easy,but this video is useful to learn a basic of English.I think it is important to learn a basic.
I want to watch another movie next time.

Sesame Street

We watched Sesame Street on video last week. It was the first time in my life that I watched that video.
At first, I thought it was a TV program like Eigode asobo but it was near to Okasan To Issyo.
I enjoyed this class very much. So I want to watch another video in class someday.

Blog Assignment

Last Thursday, we English-iiib-class watched Sesami-Street movies.
Cartoons are funny and pretty, and stories are constructed easy English. These movies are so pleasant and peaceful, but these are too simple and childish, I think.
If I can, I want chance to watch more exiting movies.

Sesami Street

Sesami Street was TV program which made children learn English easily. I was very interested in abc song. If children listen the song, they will learn alphabet easily. I hope children all over the world watch the program.

SESAME STREET

“Sesame Street” is not only an educational program but also a music program, and because it has the highest quality of marionette play, it would attract many children.
Also, “Sesame Street” is a pioneer in the field of human equality (education of human equality). Black people, handicapped persons, young children play together in the program with respect for each other. It might mean that “people is people, human is human”.
“Sesame Street” has such important meanings, so it would never disappear.

Sesami Street

Last thursday, I watched Sesami Street. I think it is very easy for children to learn number. Many characters appear on the screen and are very interesting. They taught numbers with songs. So, children who watch Sesami Street will feel like studying.
I enjoyed watching Sesami Street very much.

SESAMESTREET

We enjoyed watching SESAMESTREET's videos last week.I recommended it because I hadn't ever watched it's full program.I knew the cute characters,elmo,big bird,and cookie monster etc...Another reason why I selected it was that I wanted to watch their original color.Unfortunately,I can't find elmo this time.It's my regretful point in this time.
I understand that the study in our early age is very effective.Thanks to this,children can learn English happily and surely.I wanted to learn English by this.
By the way,I learn French as a class.I'm coming to be unable to follow the class and I'm looking for some programs by which I can learn French like SESAMESTREET.Please tell me if anyone know.HELP!!

Sesami street

I thought that understanding "Sesami street" was very easy, however, it was more difficult than my expection. I can't catch some words. "Sesami street" is made for children but it is difficult for me. I thought that foreign childish videos are very useful for the persons who learn the langrages, like us.

Sesami Street

In thursday,we watched Sesami Street.it was very pretty,interesting,and composed by easy English.We watched three Sesami Street movies;Counting 1 2 3...,Sing Along,and A B C Song.I like Sing Along.Songs sung in it were very very wonderful!Above all,song with finger language was very beautiful song.I was impressed with it!!
