My hometown

Hello!
 I'm Makie Uchiyama. I'm from Onoe in Hirakawa city which is near Hirosaki city. Onoe is a town found in the countryside of Japan.
 My hometown is famous for　盛美園(Seibien). It is a house with a beautiful garden and compromises between Japanese and Western styles. In order to see this garden and this house, many tourists visit　盛美園 every year. And morever, It is said that "かりぐらしのアリエッティ", 宮崎駿's animation, was modeled after the garden at 盛美園. I've not wacthed this movie yet, but I've been to 盛美園 once. It was so beautiful !! You should visit there:)

My Hometown

 Hello!

 My hometown is Takatsuki in Osaka, which is somewhere between Osaka City and Kyoto City. I was born in Tonda located in the southwest of Takatsuki.
 Tonda has many temples and Honshouji is one of the most famous temples in Tonda. A friend of mine didn't enter high school because he followed the temple as a priest.
 Making sake or rapeseed oil was flourishing. However, now only two sake breweries are left and residential area spreads.
 I was born and brought up in this city, so I love it.

Although the lesson of English 3B was difficult for me, I was able to speak English positively or I was able to write English essay.
Although speaking in English at first was not completed easily, I could speak English by myself gradually and I can have confidence .
Even if the answer was wrong, it was glad that the teacher encouraged.

 I　thought that the way was used writing a text not only in an English text but in Japanese.

Thank you very much:)

　Good evening everyone. My name is Aya Oshiro. I spend a meaningful time to study with you.Writing a blog in English it is rarely experience. I'm glad I can participate in the blog, but a little time.
　
　
　
 　3B in the classroom of the contents could not keep up so often, I was often regretted. Class 3B were higher levels of English is for me. However, to study in this class has become a good stimulus and motivation to rise. I would like to continue to challenge without fear of the future. And, I want to be a person who will continue the effort.
　
　
 I have a good time to reflect on in lecture.I`m glad to meet everyone. See you again.

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!
