Good bye

     I learned a lot of things from this class. Before I take the class, I didn’t know about English writing rules. For example, when I write English assignment in hand, I didn’t leave any margin on the both sides, and I didn’t know about paragraph rule. So, at first, there were many mistakes corrected in red ink by teacher in my assignments, but recently, these have decreased. I think this progress was brought by the lessons and writing assignments every week. Although the semester finished, I’ll keep writing English sentences to progress my English skills.

Goodbye!

English 3B class ended yesterday.
We wrote a lot of paragraph and essay. I had trouble writing a good English composition.
I'm a student of education and major in English. So, I have to write "卒論" in English. I took a few special field classes this semester. But to tell the truth, this 3B class was the most useful to the point of writing English composition. I think that having learned in this class will be useful in special field classes in the near future and in writing "卒論".
I was able to learn a lot of things in this class. And I had a little confidence of writing English paragraph and essay.
Thank you, Mr. Philips!
Goodbye everyone!!

Good bye!!!!

My name is Kasai Momona.I enjoy iiiB class.I want to enjoy to write English.
Thank you,Everyone.Goodbye★

GOODBYE!

Today we had the last IIIB class. Wow...half year has passed since I joined this class! I have learned a lot of things: how to write paragraph, essay....  I have to write "卒論" in English so this class has been really useful, and efficient. Now I have more confident to write English paragraph or essay using contrast, comparison, logical division, chronological order and so on.

After all, I could enjoy this class and I'm glad to seeing you. Have a nice spring(? )vacation! Take care. BYE-BYE!! :D

Goodbye

Good evening. I am Asuka Fujiwara.
Today is last day in this semester, so today's class was the final class in our EnglishⅢB class.

I had a lot of anxiety when I had taken a first lecture.
Can I keep up with this class? Can I answer questions in English? They were always in my heart for the first time.
However, in fact, EnglishⅢB was very interesting for me. Words I did not know was a chance I fix in mind. Things I became able to do gave me lots of motivation for me!
I learned many things from these lecture! Thank you for everyone!

When someone find me in this university, please accost easily .Let's take it easy!
See you again!!

Hamlet

    Before I watched that movie, I knew only that Hamlet is the tragedy written by William Shakespeare, and it is one of the most famous tragedies in the world. I was interested in it, but I thought it is difficult for me to understand, so I had never read and watched yet.  

     When I watched that movie, I thought most the characters in that story are pitied. Hamlet is poor, but I think Gertrude who is a Hamlet’s mother and her husband was killed by brother in law, Ophelia whose father killed by Hamlet, and Laertes whose father and sister died are more pitiful person.

     Because this movie is interesting, I’ll try to read and watch other Shakespeare's stories and movie!

Hamlet

 I do not see a movie about tragedy. Because I like happy ending.But Hamlet was good.Was easy to see but black-and-white film.Particularly good actress. I wanted to also look at a movie called «Roma Holiday».
 Want to look at the Hamlet again. I thought also good black-and-white film. Thank you.

Hamlet

Two weeks ago and three weeks ago, we watched a movie. The title of a movie was "Hamlet".

Actually, I do not watch movies made in foreign country very much. So I know only the title of  "Hamlet", and I do not know other things. Is Hamlet a woman? I thought it right first.
There is a few things I felt when I ended watching it.
First, I felt frighting. This movie is not horror movie but I thought it was horrifying. Maybe because of I saw the back of human 's hatred.
And I also felt sad. Hamlet die in the end, and story is contained its sorrow. If it ends happy end, I cannot feel these distress.

This movie was a chance I have interested in foreign movies for me. When I have a free time, I try to watch movie made in foreign country as possible as I can.

Thank you for reading.

Hamlet

I watched tragedy for the first time. I like comedy movies very much and I wouldn't watch tragedy until now. In the end, many people died one after another. Tragedy is very profound and when I finished watching Hamlet, there was something I couldn't understand. There was something I couldn't feel after finishing watching comedy movies. What is tragedy? I can't answer well now. Tragedy is what is not only happy end? I think that it is not easy like that. There is something that give us opportunities to think various things in tragedy. Anyway, I enjoyed watching Hamlet. I want to watch other tragedy movies.

Hamlet

 I've known Hamlet but never read or watched it till I watched it in the class last day. "Hamlet is really tragedy!" This is my first comment. A lot of people died and finally even Hamlet did! " To be or not to be, that is the question" is the most famous word in this story and I think so, too 'cause there are many interpretation of it. As many interpretation say, I also think that line means " to live, or not to live"  If he goes on living, he can accomplishes his father's vengeance. But if he doesn't, he never does. Hamlet is really sincere.  He places his father's revenge priority over his life. If my important person is killed, can I do it? This is difficult question!  "To die, to sleep" is also impressive for me.  he says "To sleep: perchance to dream: ay, there's the rub. For in that sleep of death what dreams may come."  Will I have a dream after the death? What kinds of?  This story left me some big questions. I want to read this story in English!

My Activities Over Break

     This winter vacation is shorter than the past like a high-school or so, but I lived a full time. That is because I met old friends, and we had a good time.

     I have a good relationship with them, because we used to be members of the student’s association in a same junior-high school. Although we went on to different high-school, we get to together every winter. But last winter, we could not meet because of preparing for entrance examinations. So, it had been two years since I saw them last. Before that, I felt a little nervous, however the conversation grew more lively. Going bowling, eating lunch together, and after that going Karaoke, it is usual plan for us. I really enjoyed all that time. Especially, when they sang, I listened to the singing with rapt attention, and I wanted to listen more. I have good friends, so I want to keep that event.

About My Activities During Over Break

I backed my hometown : Ozora town. And I went to shopping with my parents. When I went to Kitami, I went to a new bookstore called "Coachand-Four".

It is the very large and complex store which is in the Hokkaido, and it sells books, stationery, and CDs. Moreover, Coachand-Four has a cafe  in the store like misterDonut, or Doutor Coffee. I dropped in there about a hour, but it is too short to look all of store. It is very very large ! If you go to Hokkaido, you should drop in there.

I went back to hometown, Sapporo city. I went shopping with my mother many times and I had her buy a lot of clothes. I met elementary school friends, went to Sapporo station and ate delicious rice porridge with talking about love. I also went an alumni association of high school. We ate grilled meat with drinking alcohol. They didn't change at all and the conversation became lively. I spent a pleasant time. I passed with my family on New Year's Eve. I ate a lot of dishes, sushi and two buckwheat noodles eaten on New Year's Eve. I was very happy to be able to eat a delicious food with my family. It was a very short break, but I had a lot of fun!

My active over break

I returned home at the end of the year and spent good time with my family.
In the moment seeing the old year out and the New Year in, I watched TV program.I ate ozoni, rice cake ,and many sweeets.And I watched Hakone Ekiden in this yaer.

Especially,the thing I enjoyed was party.This party is celebrating adviser's 60 th birthday.This party was going to be held last year.But it is impossible because of earthqauake.So,this party was held another time.I met adviser after a long separation.He was vigorous.I met many people-friends and senior-. I enjoyed talking with friends and senior. I was glad to be fine them.


This homecoming is very fruitful for me.And I'm lookig forward to meeting them again.

About my activities over break

I visited my native place from December 30th to Janualy 2nd.
When I got on a train to go back to Aomori, I was surprised because there is a senior of a circle I belong to in same train. He got off a train just before I get off, but I was pleased to see him then.
During my stay in home, I made myself at home. I watched TV, ate various food that cannot eat very much when I am in a school dormitory, and talked with my families about my school life. They were very fun.
In Janualy 1st, I went shopping with my mother and my senior brother. We went to "Ito Yokado", "UNICLO", "Super Drug Asahi", and "XEBIO". I was able to meet my friend of my high school life when I was in "UNICLO", and talked with him a few minutes. He will be a policeman in Februaly in this year, so we might seldom be able to meet each other. That is exactly why I will root for him! Also, I met another senior in my college life in "Ito Yokado". He was doing a part-time job. He was a last person I expect to see, and I was really surprised.

In afternoon on Janualy 2nd, I went back to a school dormitory because I was a being on duty of dormitory's key. But I slept about at 5:00 in this day. I think it is a reason I was tired.
Janualy 3rd and 4th, I was in Hirosaki. The fact of the matter is I wanted to stay my house a little longer. For all that winter vacation was end, so I do a mental revolution and keep at it!!

Thank you for reading.

My activity during vacation

Thanks for over eating , I gained a couple of kilograms ha ha ha :\ I was very happy to see my dog LOVE. She is really fine for her age (She is 13 years old!)  I've missed her already! I visited my grandfather with my mother on 29,30th.　He is now 77 years old but fine too!　And there, I could see my cousin. On 31th, I spent all day in my home on watching TV, eating mochi and soba, reading books, playing with LOVE, talking with my family and so on. On 2nd Junually, I visited and worshipped at the Hokkaido Shrine with my sister and then went shopping to buy  really cheaper clothes and other things. I could buy a lot of things :D  On 3rd,  I met my boyfriend and at night left Sapporo 'cause my part-time job  the next day:\ It was really short vacation but I had a good time! HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

My Activity over Break

In this break, I returned to Akita and I went to see a high school friend. He is one of my best friends regardless of sex. This time we enjoyed Akita foods at Mugendo:a restaurant in front of Akita station. We ate standard Akita foods. For example, Kiritanpo and Inaniwa-udon. But we found obscure Akita food!

It is Fried-Hatahata. Hatahata is famous fish of Akita. Akita people sometimes eat grilled-one. But I have never heard of Fried-one. It was used a hatahata whole. So, it had large volume and it looked beautiful. We enjoyed real taste of hatahata. With lemon, we also enjoyed different flavor.
Thanks to the Fried-Hatahata, we could rediscover the good thing about Akita.
Whether you are Akita people or not, I recommend you to enjoy Akita food:)

My Favorite Movie

     I love to watch movies, so I watched several kinds of movie. There are action movies, horror movies, science fiction films, animated films, a thriller…so many types of movie I like, but my favorite movie is a comedy film.

     Do you know “Home Alone”? It is kind of old movie I think, but it is still popular in Japan, which sometime appear on television. Its story is a little boy stays at home alone repulse thieves with several gimmicks. It gave me great satisfaction to see them beaten thoroughly. Maybe I saw 3 times this movie, but I am not tired of it. If you did not see this movie, I think you should!
