Plan about spring vacation

  I want to do two things this spring vacation.
  First, I want to watch music live performances, especially, I want to watch a cappella's them. In fact, I'm a member of a cappella circle. I like some kind of music, and I often sing J-pops and rock music. But I like a cappella music the best. I think it is amazing that people sing only human's voice. I cannot go to the live at normal weekend so much, but I can go to it in spring vacation. So, I want to watch live performances as many as possible.
  Second, I want to meet friends when I was high school students. I haven't be able to meet them since I came Hirosaki. I don't meet most of them about a year. So, I want to meet them, and go to amusement areas or eat dinner. I want to talk about something happened for a year.
  I will pass good spring vacation.
  Thank you!

spring vacation*

I am planning to visit Tokyo.

I have a joint alumni association there. I and other members are going to get to know better and find a solution about our future. However, I have some trouble, so I feel a little nervous about the trip.

 First, It's a long time ago of time has passed since, so I can't remember at that time.

However, I knew the efforts of previous members who had similar experiences. So I want to think the same problem and cooperate with them.

 Second, I have a poor sense of direction. I couldn't reach to Hirosaki park from Hirosaki University, last spring.

I hope that I come home safety.

In Tokyo, I will go to Tokyo DisneySea,Asakusa,Sukaitree and Tokyo tower!
I want to enjoy this vacation,so now I have to study for tests!

free topic: miso

 These days, "Washoku", Japanese traditional food was added to UNESCO's intangible cultural heritage list .   Washoku is sure to be watched with interest even more widely in the future.

 Miso is a Japanese seasoning. Miso is important for Washoku.

 My home's miso soup is used homemade miso. The other day, I made miso with some people. It takes time to make miso, but recipe is simple. First, cool steamed soybeans. Next, add water, rice koji, salt. Third, throw the mixture into mincing machine. Finally, stuff it into a barrel. We can eat it in 10 months. I made miso 30kg.  I was very tired.  

 However, homemade miso is worth time. Homemade miso is different in taste as against ready-made miso. I love miso soup used homemade miso. It's very delicious.

The types of miso differ depending on the area and on the home.

I am looking forward to using fully matures miso to Washoku.

Winter vacation

 I went back to my hometown in December 28^th. But I already came to Morioka before that day. I played with my friend in Round1 at that day. We played a lot of sports such as tennis, badminton, soccer and so on throughout the night. I found that I’m good at darts! Playing many sports was very interesting but it was so tired. I’ll never do such a crazy thing in the future…

About weather

 Weather forecasts play an important role in our daily life. We decide a lot of things such as choosing what we wear, washing clothes or not by depending on the weather forecast. According to the Japanese Meteorological Agency, the probability of hitting the forecast is 85%, so we can know the weather beforehand. Thanks to the weather forecast, our life came to be more convenient.

I get angry with a lot of things in evryday life. So, today, I want to write about my anger and complaint. Particularly, in these days, I`m angry with university students. Recently, I was robbed my umbrella twice in this university. I can`t understand why they do such a foolish thing. Some people are adults, but they can`t be considerate. They will rob my umbrella again. So, I don`t buy umbrella. And more, some university students make a noise in public places. I suppose that they think about themselves only and don`t think about other people. They also walk with their friends and stand in somebody`s way. They are talking, so they never notice about it. I `m very angry.

My favorite novelist

I'd like to talk about taking too much of salt.
Aomori Prefecture is the most short lived prefecture..
There are various factors,but above all,regardless of age, taking too much of salt is a very important factor, I think.
Now, the target value of salt intake a day that is recommended for Japanese adults according to 日本人の食事摂取基準 in 2005, is less than 10g in men, and less than 8g in women.
Let's take care of the amount of salt in meal!!

For example, Ai Fukuhara of the table tennis player and Gaku Shibasaki of the soccer player. I have met Ai Fukuhara and my sister talked with her. Actually, Kei Nishikori of the tennis player is graduated from it. On the other hand, there are few people going to the famous university from it. Only four people go to medical department of Hirosaki University from it now. I hope more people go to our university from Aomori Yamada.

    Hi! In this free topic, I want to talk about Ebola fever. Ebola fever prevails in West Africa, especially Sierra Leone, Guinea, Liberia. Ebola fever first appeared in 1976 in 2 simultaneous outbeaks, one is Sudan, and another is Republic of Congo. The currently outbreaks in West Africa is the largest and most complex Ebola outbreak since Ebola fever was first discovered in 1976. The virus is transmitted to humans from wild animals. It is said that 5500 gorillas died because of Ebola fever in Republic of Congo. Ebola is a grave menace not only humans but also wild animals. I think that Japan avtively cooperate with other countries to prevent the infection of Ebola disease.

Hi! I’d like to introduce about a drug company, Oncolys Biophama Incorporated.

   Oncolys is a medical term that combined “Oncology”, 腫瘍 in Japanese, with “lysis”, 溶かす in Japanese. Oncolys Biophama Incorporated is a drug company that research and develop virus drugs for cancer and serious contagious diseases. It takes responsibility for high needs of the scene of medical treatment, cancer of the liver and the esophagus.

   A peculiarity of Oncolys Biophama Incorporated is to use virus. In Japan, Oncolys is only venture business which has concepts of “development of virus which increase only by cancer cells” and “development of stop increasing virus”.

   Why did they want to use virus to cure cancer cells? Treatment for cancer was mainly to use anticancer drugs. But it was hard to know which patients are suffered from, cancer or anticancer drugs because it acted on both cancer cells and normal cells. It was in the 1990s. Oncolys found a gene therapy when they investigated better ways. When genes don’t work normally, Oncolys put normal genes. Cancer is a genetic abnormal, so it is cured by putting normalize genes. But they had a problem that how they put normalize genes. So they found a way that they use virus to cure cancer.

 

  Oncolys will be paid attention to more and more. Thank you.

 Hello! These days in Hirosaki city, it snows almost every day.We rarely take solar light.So I would like to introduce about Seasonal Affective Disorder.

Free topic:about sleep

  Recent study shows that people who sleep shortly become older than people who sleep longly.
Also, study shows that average time of sleep is associated with cognitive function.
In fact, it is important for us to keep sleep.
Sleep has four part for human`s health.
  First, it means rest.
We can rest our brain and body to sleep.
  Second, it means growth hormone secretion.
While we sleep, we secrete growth hormone.
Growth hormone helps children grow up.
However growth hormone is essential for adults.
If we don`t secrete growth hormone, we get body wastes.
  Third, it means immunity.
While we sleep, we get natural immunity.
  Last, it means elimination of stress substances.
While  we sleep, it helps us regain function of a nerve cell and eliminate causative agent of stress.
  Therefore if we don`t have enough sleep, we`ll have a bad influence.
To conclude, we shoud sleep well.
Thank you.

   Last week, I introduced to "GODZILLA". So I`m going to introduce to "GAMERA".
It is a famous turtle monster. He can breath fire, fly and is so strong. The first film was showed in 1965. It was monochrome film.
   In the Syouwa Era, many monster films, including GAMERA were made for children. So monstors moved comicaly. In the heisei Era, with the development of the filming technology, it is made for not only children, but also adults. The story is more complicated, too.

The number of people who doesn’t go to school increased after 6 years’ absence and reached 120000. According to MEXT, one of the course of those things is disorder of living rhythm, especially sleeping. It's said that a lot of people today exposed to many stress is troubled with some sleep disorders. Insomnia is known as most popular sleep disorders. When you hear the word; insomnia, you can easily imagine what the disease is. However there is a lot of people suffered from hypersomnia. Hypersomnia is one kind of sleep disorder. The disease is that even if the patient have enough time of sleep, they become asleep in the daytime. Especially narcolepsy is serious. Even when they are attending a meeting or taking an important examination, they become asleep. Narcolepsy is serious disease, but it is misunderstood from others because the disease doesn't know much well yet. When having a medical treatment, a narcolepsy is the disease with a high possibility which becomes good. So if we offer more information about narcolepsy, it's possible to reduce a prejudice and a false idea even a little.

Free Topic : Abortion

  Hello, I'm Fu. Today, I want to talk about abortion.     Declining birthrate, and aging population are largely taken up recently. So, many people pay attention these problem. However, I think that we should pay more attention to abortion. It decreaseyear by year, but more than 200,000 abortions are carried out in a year according to Ministry of  Health, Labor and Welfare. The abortion is not charged with a crime in current Japan but it means to put an end to a life which is very small but lives surely. If a hundred people die in Tokyo, people all over Japan are surprised. If  a hundred people die in  NY, people all over the world are surprised. However, nobady notices that small lives more than 500 are lost in Japan every day. The woman who had an abortion must spend life with a sense of guilt.We must pay more attention to reality to reduce such a woman and lost life. In addition, I think that it  is necessary to spread right knowledge through sex education. And above all, I hope that harmless small life is not lost. I pray that as many lives as possible are hoped and born there.

About contact lenses

 I'm going to talk about contact lenses.
 There are three main points in which contact lenses are sperior to glasses. First , contact lenses can correct eyesight effectively because there is no distance between eyes and lenses. Second, when you play sports, contact lenses don't disturb your movements. Third, contact lenses don't change your looks. When you are wearing glasses, your eyes look smaller than your actuall size.
 However, contact lenses also have bad points. Contact lenses cover cornea so eyes lack oxygen. As a result, corneal cells decrease and clearness of cornea drops. Contact lenses also have the risk of various infectious disease. Bacteria increas on contact lenses or in lens-cases and cause infectious corneal ulcer and Acanthamoeba Keratitis. These disease have a possibility causing a visual disorder. At worst, the patients go blind.
 In order to reduce these risks, you have to use contact lenses correctly. Before using lenses, you must wash your hands. Then, after using lenses, don't forget to cleanse them. It is also important to keep a lens-case clean. Moreover, you should use glasses sometimes because it is bad for your eyes to use contact lenses for many hours everyday.
 We have no spares for our own eyes. So, let's take good care of them.

Moreover, she gave them her love and considerration. Finally, she declined all dinner party. Even, when she won the Novel prize for peace, because she thought the cost of them should be used for the poor.

caffeine

Do you like coffee, tea or energy drink?
I often drink coffee or energy drink, but I worry about caffeine and caffeinism because they say that these drinks have much amount of caffeine.
So I will talk you about caffeine and caffeinism.
First of all, I will talk about what caffeine is.
Caffeine is one kind of alkaloids, like morphine or cocaine.
Coffee can make you awake because caffeine has an irritant action.
But too much amount of caffeine can cause caffeinism.
The main symptoms of caffeinism are a palpitation, a fretfulness and a hallucination．
There are two types of caffeinism, one is acute and the other is chronic.
If you take too much amount of caffeine in a short term, you can have an acute caffeinism.
Oppositely, if you take a certain amount of caffeine, you can have a chronic caffeinism.
There are nothing to do for caffeinism, so you should avoid to drink too much amount of coffee, tea or energy drink.

  I would like to talk about "Importance of sleep".
  We sleep everyday. Sleeo plays a vital role in good health and well-being throughout your life. Getting enough quality sleep at the right times can help protect your mental health, physical health, quality of life, and safety. Sleep plays an important role in our physical health. For example, sleep is involved in healing and repair of your heart and blood vessels. Ongoing sleep deficiency is linked to an increased risk of heart disease, kidney disease, and high blood pressure. Sleep also supports healthy growth and development. Deep sleep triggers the body to release the hormone that promotes normal growth in children and teens. This hormone also boosts muscle mass and helps repair cells and tissues in children, teens, and adults. Recommended amount of sleep for adults is seven or eight hours a day. In short, sleep is very important for us. After you study, you should get enough sleep.

I’m going to talk about Irritable Bowel Syndrome. Irritable Bowel Syndrome is 過敏性腸症候群 in Japanese. It is called IBS for short. The number of IBS are about twelve million in Japan. I’m also one of them. IBS is roughly divided into three types: diarrhea-predominant, constipation-predominant and with alternating stool pattern or pain-predominant. The young is liable to have IBS. The diarrhea-predominant is common in male and the constipation-predominant is common in female, but I’m diarrhea-predominant. The symptoms of IBS are abdominal pain or discomfort in association with frequent diarrhea or constipation and change in bowel habits. While the cause of IBS is unknown, the psychological fear, the stress and the disorder of life-style are thought to be factors. It is said that nervous people are liable to have IBS by eating and drinking too much, keeping irregular hours and overwork. IBS is hard to cure completely, but medicine can help relieve symptoms enough to prevent patients from interfering with their daily activities. And relieving the causes of stress is effective. When I lived in my parents’ house, the cause of my stress was a commuter train. So after I lived in Hirosaki and I didn’t take a train, my condition improved. I want to lead a stress-free life in Hirosaki.

I would like to talk about beriberi. Do you know about beriberi? Beriberi is one of diseases and it is known as 脚気 in Japanese. Beriberi is cause of short of vitamin B1 and at the worst, patients die. But now, few people suffer from beriberi because recent people get enough nutrients from everyday meals. However, in the past people didn’t know about vitamin, so many people, especially Japanese, suffered from beriberi and died due to unbalanced meals. Japanese people have eaten mainly white rice and haven’t eaten other thing, but white rice don’t contain vitamin B1 so Japanese people tend to suffer from beriberi. On the other hand, foreigners eat mainly bread and bread contain vitamin B1 ,so foreigners haven’t suffered from beriberi.

   From here, I’ll talk about beriberi in Japan.  Before Edo period, people ate mainly unpolished rice,  and unpolished rice contain vitamin B1 ,so few people suffered from beriberi. However, in the Edo period people got rich and ate mainly white rice. So beriberi spread rapidly and at that time, beriberi was called 江戸患い.  After that in Meiji period, Kanehiro Takagi found that the best way of curing beriberi is eating unpolished rice , but Ogai Mori and some doctors criticized this idea and the number of patients who suffer from beriberi was not decrease. Afterward Umetaro Suzuki found Orizanin and this was a concept of vitamin B1. Thanks to his finding, the number of the patients was decrease gradually. However, recently some people eat a lot of junk foods which don’t contain vitamin B1 and tend to suffer from beriberi. So far mentioned, beriberi is closely related to Japanese people and you should be more careful about beriberi.

Free topic : Allergy

I want to explain about Allergy. I’m interested in allergy, because in the world, allergic patients are increasing year by year. Allergies are overreactions of immune system. They react very violently when some environmental substances enter your body. The substances is called Allergens. There are a lot of allergens. As you know, chicken egg, milk products and wheat are very famous. Actually, these three allergens amount to more than half number of allergens.

If allergens enter your body, there are a lot of symptoms. For example, difficulty of breathing, rushing in your skin, blood pressure quick falling and they result in anaphylactic shock. Finally, you may die in the worst case.

You must avoid allergens as much as possible. If you can’t avoid the allergens and cause the allergy symptoms. You must receive first aid as soon as possible. And you have to go hospital in hurry.

 By the way, I want to introduce some strange allergies. For example, the water allergy. The water occupy about 60 percent of the body. But water allergy patients react their own sweat, tear and saliva.  In addition, Color of blue, Plastic, Latex, UV are strange allergens too. I think you can’t believe these true or not. Because, these are very important for our life　and very ordinary.

As you can see, there are a lot of allergies in the world.  And I think we must study immune systems and discover new method of treatment for allergy.

  I researched an apple because I like it. An apple is a very high nutritious fruit. It includes the abundant dietary fiber, vitamin C and mineral. Dietary fiber prevents constipation, obesity, diabetes and arteriosclerosis, in Japanese, 便秘, 肥満, 糖尿病and 動脈硬化. Vitamin C promotes taking in mineral such as iron, calcium and so on. Also, it is useful to heal wounds. Mineral constitutes bio-tissues and maintains functions of the body. Furthermore, an apple includes apple polyphenol and it restrains fat from accumulating. Because an apple has good ingredients for our health, there is a proverb, “An apple a day keeps the doctor away”. Through this research, I think an apple is a good fruit. We usually eat it without thinking how it effects on our body, but actually it is useful for us to maintain our healthy life. An apple is delicious too. It is said an apple the color arrived well is delicious. So eating it is killing two birds with one stone. Let’s eat apples!

   My uncle underwent the surgery of kidney cancer in October last year. And, the surgery was successful. So, I explain the kidney cancer.  

  Do you know the tissue of kidney? Kidney is consisted of renal parenchyma and renal pelvis. Renal parenchyma make the urine. And the urine made in renal parenchyma is collected in the renal pelvis. After that the urine is sent to the bladder, passing through the ureter for excretion.

   Then, do you know the symptoms of kidney cancer? First is hematuria which can be seen with the naked eye. Next is pain in the waist, back and flank. If the ureter was clogged with blood or the cancer has spread to the surrounding, this pain can be caused. These pains are similar to the ureteral stones and these will be disappear or happening suddenly. Furthermore, sometimes urination pain and frequent urination occurs.

   When the ureter is clogged with cancer, urine accumulates in the kidneys- this is called hydronephrosis-. If this continues for a long time, kidneys may not function- this is called non-functional kidney-. Usually,people have two kidneys,so even if one of the kidney isn’t functioning, the other kidney will compensate for the function. Therefore, the symptoms such as short urine and swollen body don’t occur so many like renal failure.

   These days, ultrasound check which is called echocardiography in general is made wide. So while there is no special symptoms, the number of kidney cancer which is discovered in such screening has been increasing. In addition, when the thorough examination is made for the water nephropathy, kidney cancer is sometimes found. My hope is that the number of people who is suffering from cancer will be decreasing by early detection.

Thank you.

 Today I'll introduce a work, “Ryusei Wagon”. This is a novel written by Kiyoshi Shigematsu. The hero is a 38 years old man and he meet his father of the 38 years old time in the past. He struggle to change his future with his father in the story.

 I read this novel when I was 17 years old and it gave me a strong impression. This novel expresses what is “Father”. Most of the men will became father, so I recommend you to read it.

 And this work is made into a drama. The broadcast was started a week ago, and I watch it, too. Hidetoshi Nishijima and Teruyuki Kagawa play the mainly parts as parent and child and they are  too hot!

 Tonight the second story is going to broadcasted, so definitely I’ll watch it…!

My winter vacation

 I changed the layout of my room after 6 years absence on the winter vacation.

 It took a lot of time, but I feel the room is so comfortable to do anything. So I can do something -reading books, studying, listening to the music and so on- leisurely. It gave me a difference atmosphere.

 I will spend much more time in my room after this. I want to do anything what I can do on the day and have good time every day.

Kyougi karuta

 Hello! I'm Yuka. I know this is out of the blue, do you know "kyougi karuta"? I play it in this university. It is Japanese sport. We play it on tatami and wear jersey and T-shirt. We use the cards which is called "hyakuninnissyu" in Japanese. It is very interesting for me. Some of you think that kyougi karuta is grace, but it is quite different. We have to keep having emotional strength. In addition to, we engage our brain while we play it. It is very hard, so I'm very happy when I win the game. I want you to see or play once. I hope that you are interested in it.

My winter vacation

This winter vacation was all great!!....except 31 December. 

At the night on that day, I wanted to watch "Gakituka" on TV. There are four TVs, so I thought that I can watch what I want to see. However I was too optimistic.... All TVs fell the under the control of my family! 

One is mother's, one is grandma's and both watched "kouhaku". Then, one is father's, for some reasons he watched "Load of the long ". Last one is in my sister's room, usually I can watch something there, but sadly she is examiner!!!, so she was studying in her room. That's why I couldn't .... I wish there would be more TV.....

About another movie

  My recommended movie is "Gake no ue no Ponyo". It is a Japanese animated film written and directed by Hayao Miyazaki of Studio Ghibli. The heroin of this movie is a goldfish named Ponyo. She meets a five-year-old human boy, Sosuke. They get over various difficulties. Also, Ponyo wants to become a human girl. I think one of the highlight of this movie is if she becomes a human girl. Miyazaki used the hand-drawn animation in this movie.  He preferred to draw the sea and waves himself, so he stayed in a port town of the Seto Inland Sea for several months. Therefore the sea is drawn very beautifully. If you haven't watch this movie, you should watch it.
  Thank you.

Another movie

Hello! I`m Kojiro Inoue.
I will introduce my favorite movie. The other day in this blog, I said that Back To The Future by Steven Spilberg is one of my favorite movies.So today I will show another of them.That is Spider-Man.This movie is very famous,so nobody needs my explanation of its outline.It is based on Marvel Comics' superhero character.He is very cool and strong.This movie is a simple morality play, but  his personality makes it appealing.

The movie I recommend

   I recomend you the movie "Godzilla", especially the first. You may feel it`s infantile. But I don`t think so.
First, Japan uses special effect in monster film, in Japanese "tokusastu". It is so unique, so we be proud of this.
   Second, it has a very important term. The opportunity to make it is the accident of an H-bomb test. This movie includes the term of pacifism, too.
   The first movie is monochrome, but I think it the best. Hollywood remake respects it. If you are free, you should see them.

Another movie

 I'd like you to watch  a movie, "A clock work orange". A clock work orange describes that the boys who do wrong are reduced. The boys use violence, rape,murder and robbery. One day, Leader of the boys  were arrest. So, The boys broke up and remaining members were reborn. Finally, the leader was betrayed and went to ruin.
 I am attracted the satirical expression, so I want you to watch this movie, too!
Thank you.

My favorite movie ''The Pianist''

 I want to recommend ''the pianist''. It describes persecution of Judea in World War II. A lot of Jewish suffered persecution. They were forced physical labor and scared their death and severe starvation. One pianist man fight them and survive in this age. He was excellent pianist but he became not to play the piano. He was helped by a lot of friends. But they died one after another. He survive by himself. One day he hided in the broken building and discovered canned food. He tried to open it, just then he was discovered by a enemy soldier. He thought he will catch and die. But the soldier ask him to play the piano for him and pianist played. The soldier moved and pass over him. Futher more, the soldier helped pianist by giving some foods and so on. Before long, the war ended and people who persecut Jewish caught and killed. Pianist discovered his lifesaver. But he couldn't do anything for him...This is very tragedy story.

Another Movie

     My favorite movie is the Lord of the Rings.  This movie is one of the most famous movies around the world.  This story is about one ring that has power.  If a man get it, he can conquer the world.  So nine men go to the enemy territory. 
     When I was a junior high school student, I watched it for the first time.  Then, I was very excited.  And I wanted to watch next one.  From today, I have watched it many time.  It is very interesting movie. So, why don't you watch it?

About another movie

My favorite movie is Ocean's 13. Many movies made in Hollywood have scenes with explosion, but Ocean's 13 doesn't have scenes like them. There are only  the talk about crime and serious matches of table games and negotiation. I don't know more stylish and cool movie than Ocean's 13! With the dangerous atmosphere of Las Vegas, the great guys look like real gangs.

Another movie

   Hello, I'm Akine.
   I want to introduce my favorite movie, "Dear・Doctor." This movie describes an unlicensed doctor. Of course, an unlicensed doctor is not admitted. But the unlicensed docter in this movie is needed by villagers, because there aren't any doctors except him in the village. So, there is a doctorless village. Though the villagers didn't know that he is an unlicensed doctor, one day, they know the truth in a happening. He didn't have a medical license. However, he examined carefully and he was so kind for them. And, actually, he saved many people's lives.
   I understand unlicensed doctor shouldn't be accepted. But, I thought about good doctor in the true sense of the word.
  Please see this movie once. Thank you.

About Another Movie

about another movie

     My favorite movie is  "Mononoke-hime," It is an animated film created by a Japanese famous animation studio,"Studio Ghibli." What I like about this film is that it makes me think about what it is to "live." Ashitaka, the hero of this movie, comes across the conflicts between a group of industrial people and a forest tribe including Mononoke-hime, the heroine. He tries to promote reconciliation between them. I think this film will give you something to think about what it is to live.

About another movie

About my winter vacation

I'll talk about my winter vacation. At first, I went to Tochigi. It was not snow in Tochigi. Next, I met my friends who lives in Tokyo. And, I and friends played and talked about a lot of things.

My winter vacation was very boring. I couldn`t  go to my home town and my friends went to their home town. So, I couldn`t play with them. I had to spend my winter vacation alone. I read books, cleaned my room, watched TV, and so on. I wanted to ski. I wanted to eat "osechi". But I have little money. I wanted to meet my old friends, but my parents didn`t allow me to go back to my home town. I couldn`t enjoy my winter vacation. So, next year, I will try to enjoy as much as possible.

There are 3 or 4 vacations in Japan. In my high school, there are 4 vacations, or the spring vacation, the summer vacation, the autumn vacation and the winter vacation. The autumn vacation is very short! It is only four days. The high school students prepared for a school festival in the four days, so we all had to go to school in the autumn vacation. I often went out with my friends in the other three vacations, especially in the spring and summer vacation. I sometimes traveled. I went to Tokyo Disney Resort for graduation travel in the spring vacation two years ago. It was very happy time, so I want to go to TDR in next vacation. I live by myself now, therefore I have to return to my family home in the vacation.

About my winter vacation?

I spent my winter vacation as a work holic. Winter is the season that senior high school students become more sensitive and irritated. Only I could do was teaching several subjects and talking about my experience of success and fail, so I worked hard like a slave to help them with cheerful words, as someone who taught me do. Eventually I couldn't lest any long, though I don't regret it. That's why I added the quotation mark on this title.

TThank you for your reading.

About vacation

 Hi everyone.
 I am going to explane my thinking about vacation in Japan.
 First, The vacation in japan is different from it in Europe. The vacation in Japan is shorter than it in Europe. There are two big vacation in Japan, summer and winter vacation. Summer vacation of students is 1 - 2 months and it of adults is about a week. This is so short! Some country in Europe has 2 - 3 months in their summer vacation. Winter vacation in Japan is NEW YEAR's vacation and about two week in students and a week in adults. Futhermore, Students in Japan have one more vacation, spring vacation. In Japan, students have a lot of vacation but adults is not so much vacation.
 Second, We use two big vacation to return our hometown. Obon is a term in summer to return hometown and hold service for a departed soul. Shougatsu is a term in winter to congratulate a new year with a relative in their hometown. To return hometown is important for us.
 The vacation in Japan is interesting!
 Thank you.

About vacation

   Hello, happy new year! Today, I'm going to talk about the event of my winter vacation.

   The biggest event in winter was traveling to Tokyo with friends. The thing which deserves special mention is that I went there with my car. Though I'm still an inexperienced driver, I decided to use the Metropolitan Expressway in Tokyo. Moreover, there was a large number of cars because new year's sale was held at the beginning day of the year. Also, I didn't have a car navigation system, so I had to use application installed in my cell phone. Of course, we enjoyed activity in Tokyo and I was very tired. Finally, it took 15 hours to get home because I was too sleepy to drive and it was very snowy. If I get next opportunity to travel, I want to use public transportations.

My vacation

  A happy new year!
  I went home and ate grilled meat, Chinese noodles, and so on in Akita. I was looking forward to eating them. So I was happy.
  And I went to a department store to buy clothes and shoes with my friends. I met them after a long. So I enjoyed the shopping. I want to go shopping some other time.
  I enjoyed this vacation. I'm looking forward to be next spring vacation.
  Thank you!

About vacation

 I think there are two vacatons in Japan. They are summer and winter vacation. We can enjoy festivals, fireworks, going swimming in the sea and so on in summer vacation. It is also important to come hometown and visit to a grave in the Buddhist Festival of the Dead, in Japanese 'obon'. In winter vacation, we can enjoy skiing, making a snowman and so on. In new year holidays, I can get mamy money, what is called 'otoshidama'. But I like summer vacation more than winter one because it is cold and snowy in many days in winter. However, I like vacation since I can do what I want to do. I wish vacations increase.

About winter vacation

 I went to the rock festival, called "COUNTDOWN JAPAN14/15" with my friend. It was held from December 28^th to December 31^st , and we went there all day. More than 170 bands sang there. For example, Gen Hoshino, indigo la end, Base Ball Bear, and so on. And I saw the old year out listening SAKANAMON’s song. I was very tired, but so happy! I want to go a lot of rock festival this year!

My vacation*

 I understand the way of maintaining the way I am through my winter vacation.

 I desired vacation, however this winter vacation was very short for me to do something new.

So I spent this vacation to clean my room, do housework, study for myself, and go shopping for new year. 

I was busy, but I spent smoothly this vacation, because I had a plan in advance.

 The student who is preparing himself for examinations has to study harder, shuts in my room, and may suffer from the stress. It was my past self too.  I had had difficulty keeping up with my tight study schedule last year. I could not have gotten my priorities right.

Now, I can think what I want to do steady, and put into practice than I was compared to 1 year ago.  

 I appreciate this vacation because I realize my own growth. So this vacation becomed special for me.

In my case, I enjoyed playing with my frinds during summer vacation. It was so fun. But I couldn't go to sea, so I want to go there next summer vacation!


   In winter, there are a lot of events in Japan. For example, Christmas day and New year! I took part in a christmas party with my friends on 24th December. We made a cake and ate delicious dinner! Further, I celebrated a new year with my family. Japanese usually celebrate a new year with family.


   I love vacation because I can enjoy! Of course, I do my assignment during vacation. Please enjoy your vacation too!

   Thank you.

About vacation

      Hello, I'm Akine. Today, I'm going to talk about my vacation.
      In a year, we have three big vacation, summer, winter, and spring. FIrst, I want to write about my summer vacation in 2014. I worked at a part-time job in a confectionery almost every day. So I couldn't return to my family house though I could have many valuable experiences. Second, I'm my hometown for the winter vacation. Although I was busy in the summer, I stay as long as I can. I went the alumni association of  my high school and I spend many times with my familiy. Finally, I want to write about my plan for the spring vacation. Now, I'm planning to take some trips. If I can do so, I want to go abroad. I think we should make good use of our vacation by working hard and playing hard.

my vacation

Hi, I'm junna!

I tell you about my winter vacation.

I held a Christmas party in my house on December 25.

Four of my freinds took part in it.

I made quiche and salad. My friend, Nao made pumpkin soup.

They are suitable for Christmas dinner!

We have watched four movies since it was nine p.m.

They all were very interesting!

The next day, I went to the Mt.Yogoshi to ski with club member.

I haven't played ski for eight years, so I forgot how to ski.

I slipped again and again,but my senior and friend helped me hardly.

Thanks to them, I enjoyed skiing.

I hope to do such a thing next year.

Thank you for reading!
