My Major

  Ladys and Gentlemea, Boys and Girl. I`m Makoto. Recentry I watched English class movie on the internet.

  My major is chemistry.



I studied chemistry at high school too. But what I learn at university is not advance of what I learned at high school. It is completely different from this. For example, at high school, I learn materials separateiy. However, I study how to be composed of materials.

I think that there are teaching in the chemistry. Take some example. it is uincertainty principle. It says that the act of observer affects the target.

Hokuto - my home town

 

 Hey, look at him! What an ugly creature ! Who is him !?

 His name is "Zuu-shii-hokkii". He's a new local character of Hokuto-shi. It's my home town. His motif is a sushi of Hokki (the kind of shellfish). Hokki is one of popular productions of Hokuto.
 

Can you guess what is that mountain on the depths in this picture?

 It's Mt.Hakodate! It's so famous as one of world best 3 night view. I took this picture at near my home. It shows that Hokuto is located next to Hakodate.

 

 This is a cement factory near to my home. It's so big! Only a part of it is on this picture. If you see this factory, you would be so suprised! It's one of biggest cement factory in Japan.

 

This is "a Trappist monastery".  The view with a row of poplar trees is so beautiful, don't you think? This monastery has a farm. The cookie made at the farm is so popular and so yummy! The cookie is called "Trappist cookie". You should try it someday!

My introduction, Hometown and Major

 Hi, I am Kanako Tachibana, and I would be glad to call my name friendly.
You might become aware of there are one more person in class at Fridays 2nd period comparing Wednesday.
It is me :)
Original English IIIB class to me is on Thursday 1st period, but I take Spanish class at that time.
Therefore I changed class.

I am from Sapporo city.
I think that most of you know the name because it is the most famous and the biggest city in Hokkaido.
Sapporo is located in west of Hokkaido and near from the sea.
Look at this map. ( the star shows the location of Sapporo)

Left picture shows the scenery of the center of Sapporo, right one shows around Susukino", which is famous as good drinking area in Japan.  Susukino is one of my favorite spot in Sapporo and I think this area is the best to feel urbanized atmosphere in my hometown.
































You may surprise, most of people in Sapporo uses subways compared to using bus in generally.
There are 3 lines all which go through the center of the city and from edge to edge of Sapporo.
Therefore we rarely worry about going far.
This is the map of subways.  You think its very useful, don't you?





















If you have a chance to come my hometown, I am sure you would not lost your way.
The map will tell you all...

... Did you get it?
The reason I told so is that street in Sapporo are laid out in grit pattern
In addition, the name of the streets also help your preventing lost your way, and its name will show the place where you are such as North 1-West 4 or South 4-West 2.
If you yet lost your way, please call me.



The season when there are the most travelers in Sapporo is winter.
You may have heard the name of "Sapporo snow festival".
Many people participate the snow carving competition and a lot of people around the world come and see those things.
At the same time, great and beautiful illuminations or snowboard competition.

 

Finally I introduce what I am studying.
Most of you might notice already, I major in humanities.
Especially now I am studying is contemporary international society.
The differences from education, as growing up the grade, our options what we want to study are expanding.
Since I was a high school student, my interest is almost about Africa.
That is why I want to be in Pf Philips's seminar no matter what.
After I graduate,  I want to be a member of JOCV and work at some African countries.
My dream is that relationship between Africa and Japan is more better and many Japanese interest in those area more.
For that reason, I want to improve my English skill, and I am needed to study more harder.



I would like to talk more with you.
Thank you.

My Major

My major is Japanese．In China there are so many people learning Japanese. According to a research of the Japan Foundation`s in 2006, China has the second highest number of Japanese-language students with approximately 830,000 . (“Japanese Foundation”,2)¹. As a Japanese learner I feel that just know Japanese it is hard to find a good job in China.

I studied Japanese for about 5years. I began with “あいうえお” at the university and then learned about Japanese grammar, then studied Japanese culture, literature and so on. When I became a graduate student, I learned something more professional. Such as the metalanguage, Japanese education and so on.

When the Japanese major`s students graduate, they can work at a Japan company, or become a translator, or a Japanese teacher.When I graduated from the university, half of my classmates went to study a graduate degree in Japan, and half of them work at a Japan company. And I chose to study a graduate degree at the same university. My dream is become a Japanese teacher in China.

My Hometown

I was born in Hanamaki city, Iwate prefecture. It's in the western area of Iwate.


It's famous for Miyazawa Kenji who was born there and wrote some very famus storys and poems,  and wanko-soba, a kind of noodle.




Miyazawa Kenji was born in 1896. His great works, for example 「I will not give in to the rain」 and 「Night of the Milky Way Railway」,  have been handed down since he died. But he had not been a popular writer before his death. Kusano Sinpei tried to make Miyazawa Kenji's works be known.





 

Wanko-soba is a style to eat soba. An amount of soba you can drink at one time is sereved until you close the top of the bowl. Iwate has two tournaments in Morioka city and in Hanamaki city. But Hanamaki's is larger than Morioka's. The highest score is 254 cups in 5 minutes.













Hanamaki has other great cultures and nature.
You should visit my hometown or live!!!


Please ask me if you are interested in anything about Hanamaki or Iwate.


Thank you for your reading.
Good night.

My hometown, HIrosaki

My hometown, Hirosaki is famous for good apples, beautiful cherry blossoms and nice  Hirosaki castle, you know. Today, I am going to tell you another charm of Hirosaki.

Hirosaki has many European style buildings that were built in Meiji era. People in Hirosaki at the time invited many foreign teachers and missionaries to make Hirosaki university town. Owing to such civilization and enlightenment, western style buildings were built and western culture was spread.

Look at the picture. It is the building for foreign teacher of former Hirosaki High school. Sorry for my miss transration but you have ever seen it, haven't you? It is on the site of Hirosaki University now, so you can visit there after school!
 

 

   This is a picture of United Church of Christ in Japan Hirosaki Church, which is the first Protestant Church in the Tohoku district.

 

 

 

It is former Hirosaki city library in the Ootemon square near the Hirosaki Park.

There are more old buildings in Hirosaki. They are very wonderful and worth to visit. I hope you visit there and enjoy the atmosphere.

I wrote down the URL for you.

My Hometown

Today,I'll talk about my hometown.

My hometown is Hirosaki city.

 Now,most of you live in Hirosaki so you may know anything about this city.

This is a picture of Hirosaki castle. I took and process this picture.

This castle was built about 400 years ago. Hirosaki is a castle town of the Tsugaru clan.

This castle is in the Hirosaki Park.

There are some festivals in the park. You should enjoy these festivals.


Another charateristic  point of this city is a dialect("hougen"in Japanese)

People in Hirosaki speak "Tsugaruben."

For people who came from other region, Tsugaruben seems very difficult to understand.

I hope everyone enjoy the difference.


Thank you for reading. Good night!

There are so many wasabi fields and cultivating them continue from Edo era.
