BEATLES

I like BEATLES very much.When I feel down,their somgs always cheer me up.I like "HERE COMES THE SUN" the best.Here is the song's words.

Here comes the sun, do do do do
Here comes the sun, and I say
It's all right
Little darling
It's been a long cold lonely winter
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

According to this statistics,you can know that the Great Kanto Earthquake was a terrible earthquake.At least 105,000 people had died,and there were tens of thousands of casualties.Although scientists believe that a major earthquake strikes Tokyo every 70 years, it has been more than 80 years since the Great Kanto Earthquake.On September 1, 1923, the ground shuddered for six minutes, leveling buildings, derailing trains, and snapping water mains.If an earthquake like this strikes Tokyo, what a hell will we change?Will we survive?

Here is a link to a practical essay about this for you.


And I give you the quotation from the beginning part of the essay.

The Local and the Global share a close mutual relationship of change and exchange in an intercultural way. Using the example of the Bolivian charango, the intercultural dynamics and development of a string instrument will be outlined in terms of its structure. The complex process of cultural transformation and adoption is investigated and described under the general viewpoints of acculturation during the colonial period and mental syncretism as well as of modern transculturation processes under globalization.

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.

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
