     Hello, I'm Akine. My hometown is Hitachi in Ibaraki. I'm going to present there today.
     First,this city is an industrial city. Do you know "Hitachi" of a consumer electronics maker? Yes, my hometown Hitachi is the origin of the name of the maker  "Hitachi." That is why, there are many factories of it in many places. Second,the city fronts on the sea. But, there is also at the foot of mountains. So, we can enjoy eating seafood and delicacies obtained in the mountains. And, there is blessed with nature. Finally, Hitachi is famous for "Sakura festival." Cetainly, cherry blossoms in Hitachi are inferior to them in Hirosaki. But,"Furyumono" that is a special float is so wonderful. Dolls move and dance on this. The festival is worth visiting.
     Plese visit at least once!

My Major(and My Introduction)

 Hello,my name is Fu Urata.
 I think I couldn't  do the last homework, my introduction.Maybe I mistaked the place I should write.  So, at first I want to introduce myself.

 My student number is 14M1017.
 I'm from Misawa in Aomori.I graduated from Hachinohe high school.
 My major is medicine.I belong to track and field,and I'm a runner and a thrower.I want to reach the goal of 100km marathon.
 I like running and eating,but I don't like spicy food.
 I'm no good at English,I will do my best.

 In the second place, I want to talk about my major.

 My major is medicine.
 I have never once been hospitalized until now.In addition, parents are not doctors.However, I thought that I wanted to become a doctor because I watched parents and grandparents.
 My parents and grandparents are farmers.I was ashamed, and I was not able to say that parents were farming families at time of the high school. This is because parents were a doctor and teachers as for most of my friends.However, I have begun to have a pride toward parents being farming families by talking with my brothers.This is because I noticed that it was an occupation that the farmhouse brought up the life of the person and kept.As far as I know,farmers are not going to go to the hospital when it becomes the cultivation period and the harvesttime even if they are hurt and poor physical condition.So, I thought that the life of a person following a command must not be gone and I want to protect them.
 I think medicine is very important and hard subject. however, I can not give up.I want to be a doctor. I intend to try study hard from now on.

 Thank you!!

So listening and speaking English is very fun!

About my major

I tell you about my major
My major is engineering. Engineering is a department which uses science ( math, physics, chemistry, and so on ) to make human`s life better. So, engineers have to study science hard. Engineers may make bad machines ( like  atomic bomb ). So, they also have to learn about ethics. In recent years, they are making machines of wide field. For example, medical machines, nursing machines, cleaning robots, home electronics, robot which have an emotion, and so on. They also make rocket, and satellite. It`s very dreamful. I think this major is not only fun but also useful for humanity.Particularly, this major`s feature is that it can`t exist without human. That`s reason why I like it.

Our Great Class "English ⅢB"! by Michiko

In April I was looking for a class that I could learn how to write down academic English essay, for my graduation thesis and TOEFL test. Fortunately Prof. Philips told me about this class and I could take a writing class finally! Before I went to study abroad, I took an Advanced English ⅢB that Prof. Philips taught, but at that time I couldn’t understand what he said and even the contents. I was just sitting in the class and pretended as if I understood. However, after coming back I could listen to English, understand about the contents of the class and use the knowledge of writing English essay. When I was in NZ I took a writing class as well, but the class was too many students to ask questions in class, so I always went to my teacher after class and asked some questions that I had. The goodness of this English advanced ⅢB class in Hirosaki uni was very small class and it was relatively easy to ask questions rapidly. We leant not only academic skills of writing but some interesting topics such as about linguistics, international problems, and movies. I strongly recommend that students in Hirosaki uni take this English class for their English improving! Thanks to this class, I learnt the difficulties and the importance of English writing. Sincerely thank you so much for Prof. Phillips my classmates. Have a nice summer vacation! Michiko Nara

Lotta Love

When I was a elementary student, I was impressed Mather Theresa. I met a book written by her at library. I couldn not understand well, but I thought just "I want to become a like her!!!"

I love her. She makes peace for poor people and gives love them.

She has a lot of love and never forget saying "Thank you".

I really respect her still now.

 

 

"Let us always meet each other with smile, for the smile is the beginning of love"

 

"If we have no peace, it is because we have forgotten that we belong to each other."

 

"The hunger for love is much more difficult to remove than the hunger for bread."

"Even the rich are hungry for love, for being cared for, for being wanted, for having someone to call their own."

 

 

Don't forget telling love.

Don't be affraid giving love.

Love yourself.

 

Thank you! Love Tsuzura

Wonderful Class ⅢB

I'd like to introduce about my advanced English class ⅢB! This class is quite small class because the student is only three, but the class contents is really deep about writing!!

Actually, I'm not good at writing and I had never studied about formally essay writing. However Prof. John Philips taught us this in order really thoroughly, so I learned to write essay formally a little.

In addition, I could learn the writing style in essay is quite different between Japanese and English. I thought the difference in the composition of the sentences is involved in  writing style difference through this class.

Also Prof. philips told us a lot of interesting talk about movie or African culture or interesting news paper and so on. So I had interested in old American movie, I want to watch these when I have a time!lol

I enjoyed my class! Thank you Prof. philips and my classmates!!

The greatest movie ever for me!:"The Secret Life of Walter Mitty"

Hi guys! Today Iwould like to introduce a greatest movie that I watched in my life! Firstly, can I ask you 3 questions??? 1.Do you feel bored about your life? 2.Do you like travelling? Abd, 3. Do you change your mind in a positive way??? If your 3 answers are "YES!!!",then this movie is exactly for you! What you need the most is "something exciting" isnt it?? I was like that before watching this movie. One of my friends, who likes travelling and adventure like me,strongly recomended this movie to me. There is a lackluster negatives assets manager whose name is Walter and he works in a magagine company. One day,he found there is one more negative,which is for a last magagine cover. And he notices that he needs to find a cameraman who has a last negative, so Walter starts going to many countries to find him and get a last negative. Thanks to this great movie, I could recognised that what I want to do in my life and how I want to live. Anyway, just watchit if you have something unclear in your mind! I'm sure you feel something will be changed!;D "The Secret Life of Walter Mitty"

The characteristic of Japanese weather

Today's topic is weather! So I would like to introduce about Japanese weather to you guys^^! First, the four seasonss that called "四季(shi-ki)" is one of the most unique point of Japanese weather. There are some countries,which have the four seasons like Japan, such as USA, US, New Zealand and so on. However, the distinctive point is that the four seasons in Japan is very clearly distinguished. And 12 months could be divided into 3 months depend on the each season. In spring(March to May) if you come to Japan, you will be surprised at the beautiful cherry blossoms that are frequently seen in spring! But the weather in spring is very easy to change, so the differences of the tempareture is tend to change a lot.

In summer(June to August) it will rain a lot and the humid season will come. Japanese summer is really high humidity, so you would feel more hot than the reality.

In autumn(September to December,heaps of leaves will turn red, yello, and many places will be filled up with them! However the typhoom tends to come in this season and it gives us lots of rain as well.

In winter(December to February) it will snow a lot! Usually it doesn't snow heaps in Tokyo however these years it snows like a north part of Japan due to global warming.

Japan extends north and south so the four clearly different seasons exists. Reference; http://weather-ignorance.jp/02-nihon_2.html "The secret of weather" (Last access 18/07/2014)

Emotion and wether

Do you feel happy when the wether is sunny?
Do you feel sad when the wether is rainy?

According to "connection of wether and emotion" by doctor Ishiyama, human's emotions are affected by the wether.
Probably, you feel tired when wether is ranning. You may do not want to do anything.
Actually, human need a lot of ray of light in our daily life.
The ray of light can give us powerful energy to act and we absolutely need it.

In fact, some of doctors have reserched about depression. They say people who lives snow district feel more stress than not snow district. The worst one of hours of sunlight as Akita prefecture, is the top of  suicide rates. The second ranking from the bottom is Aomori prefecture.
The hours of sunlight has exert a influence on human's emotions and motibation for acttive movement.

 If you feel stress, if you have something bad, please go out and feel the warmth of sunlight.
It might be help you!

WEATHER

Recentry, news reporters speach about typhoon every day in Japan. the typhoon called No.8 and this is said really big typhoon. This had a major infuluence to a lot of area in Japan, especially human and agriculture. For some area, evacuation order are warned.

Now, the Meteorological Agency is reporting another typhoon called No.9 is coming to Japan.

In addtion, unusual weather is increase and this typhoon brought heavy rain to remote place from the place typhoon came. Because of this, I was soaking wet to go to university although the typhoon was in the Shikoku area:(

And the typhoon killed about seven people, this means this typhoon was really strong. Maybe the next typhoon is like this, so we have to pay attention to weather in Japan.

I Like FOODS!

FooooD!!

I'd like to talk about my favorite food! I love kimuchi that Korean traditional food. I eat kimuchi almost everyday at dinner and I can eat two bowl of rice with eating kimuchi!

And, kimuchi is not just spicy and delicious, but also very high nutritional value. Kimuchi is include garlic and chili that are effective against colds etc, and this is fermented food. So it has a lot of nutrition, for example, lactic acid bacteria that good for intestinal and many amino acid, vitamin! Because of this, kimuchi is said good for health! However, eating a lot of kimuchi every day is not so good because it is so spicy and strong stimulation for stomach or other digestive organ:(  In addition, taking in a lot of  lactic acid bacteria is cause of  diarrhea.

But kimuchi is so deliscious!! How about eating kimuchi moderately for health?

Accourding to the statistic by Unated Nations(UN), Japanese people seem not to be happy compared to other countries such as Denmark, Norway,Switzerland and so on.

The USA is ranked in 17, and the second nig GDP country, China is ranked in 93 like the low happiness level of Japan. It is a very controversial report though, his report would help us to think about "What happiness is" exactly.

My favorite song!

Hello, every one! I want to share with you about my favorite song!

I like Michael Joseph Jackson. He was an American singer-songwriter, actor, dancer, businessman, and philanthropist. And also, he was called the King of the pop, his contributions to music, dance, and fashion, along with his publicized personal life, made him a global figure in popular culture for over four decades.
I impressed his song which I had  haerd his songs. The song is "cry". This is really beautiful song. The people tie thier hands and turn to the same direstion in this music video. Their faces are full of hope. There are many various generations people, children, teenagers, adlts and old people. In addition, there are different races people. Black, white and yellow-sikinned races. No matter of age and race, people become a one. The human-chain is very beautiful.
Moreover, the lyrics is wonderful, too.

You can change the world (I can't do it by myself)

You can touch the sky (Gonna take somebody's help)

You're the chosen one (I'm gonna need some kind of sign)

If we all cry at the same time tonight

 

We can guess that "cry" means "shout" in this song. We cannot change the world by myself. His song teach us many important thing. He is still telling it, even he died. We are the same, we are the one and we are freinds!

 

Sherlock Holmes

Hi,guys!
I have loved the novels "Sherlock Holmes series" written by Arthur Conan Doyle since I was in primary school. So I have many this novels in my room. I respect Holmes's deep and keen insight, and also like his cool wise saying. I recommend you this web site that you can read the all sereis in Japanese and English! In this web site, I would like to reommend you this wise saying at "The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, The Adventure of the Beryl Coronet".

It is an old maxim of mine that when you have excluded the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth. Now, I knew that it was not you who had brought it down, so there only remained your niece and the maids. But if it were the maids, why should your son allow himself to be accused in their place? There could be no possible reason. As he loved his cousin, however, there was an excellent explanation why he should retain her secret –the more so as the secret was a disgraceful one. When I remembered that you had seen her at that window, and how she had fainted on seeing the coronet again, my conjecture became a certainty.

The purpose of "Life" By Michiko

Hello, guys! Today I would like to introduce a one of my favorite movies that moved me so much!

My dream is becoming a great Japanese Language Teacher in oversea, and I would like to experience as much things as I can. So the message showed exactly what I want to say as a purpose of life, this is why I was really surprised and impressed by this movie. If you are wondering about what you want to do in your future, I strongly recommend you watch it! Just in 2hours, you can find something wonderful that could change your life! Michiko Nara

Young people traveling the world

I found this article searching the web, and recommended it to my son, who's also in college. It seems many young people are traveling the world, and learning from their experiences. I myself took off from college in the middle, and made my decision to study African history. One of my seminar students took off in the middle of college and travelled around Asia for a year. When he got back he knew what he wanted to do with his life. I recommend you to try the same. It's a lot cheaper than you think, especially if you work while you're traveling.

In the summer of 2012, at age 24, I left home to travel the world. In just over a year, I backpacked through South America, South Asia, Western Europe, and the western United States. I hiked the Inca Trail, skied the Alps, hitchhiked through Patagonia, and trekked through the Himalayas. I worked at hostels, stayed at a Buddhist monastery, and gardened at an English women’s retreat center in exchange for meals and a place to sleep. And while I learned many things on the trip, what was most surprising was how many people my age were traveling just like me.

Summer Plants ~Sunflower🌻and Garden balsam~

The flower reminds me of summer is exactly "Sunflower".  The color and image are all suit summer, I think.

Hearing the word "Summer" makes us think of sun, and I think the figure of sunflower resembles sun! So I feel summer in sunflower.

Also when I was a elementary school student, my homework in summer vacation is to grow sunflower! In addition, in Japan the word sunflower is a summer season word in haiku.

I love the picture that growing straight and high to sun.

Next plant is garden balsam. This plant is relatively famous in Japan. The characteristic of this plant is blow their seeds off when they get ripe. I think this is really cute! Flowering period of this is from June to September. So garden balsam suits summer, too.

Going to sea or eating ice cream is good in summer, however enjoy wathing summer plants is also wonderful!!

When I was in Finland, I had 4 fost families. My 4th fost family love growing flowers. So, I could learn some flowers names in Finnish. In particular, I could find very interesting name's flower!

This is called "Japanin Kello" in Finnish. It means Japanese clock in English.
I asked them the reason of the name, but unfortunately they did not know it.

These flowers are decorated in front of a entrance on house, especially in summer. This is a summer plants for them. Many houses hold it, and decorates own house by like these beautiful summer plants!
