I Got Fat!!

Hi!Everyone!!
The rest days of this month we come to school has only more 3 days and we are about to finish assignments to do.
We will have a winter vacation.What are you gonna do on the vacation?
Most people will go back to your hometown and welcome new year with your family or your friends or your lover(^з^*)
As for me, I will work at my part-time job until 8 or 9,and welcome new year with my family at home.That is a routine way for New Years Eve.

Anyway, I feel that I got fat these days because of my bad behavior.
When I finished eating supper,I tend to lie down to watch TV or to sleep.
Moreover,after the dinner, sometimes my mother provides me with some sweets. So, I cannot help eating them. I feel a little bit scared of weigh myself on the scale.

But, when I see some sweets, I cannot ignore them...That is my bad point.
In spite of that, next year my 3 friends and I are planning to go to sweet paradise.Most people know it especially female!We can eat various kinds of cakes and foods with 1480 yen.








You should try!!
Thank you★*

Univa!!!



Look at a beautiful Christmas tree above**
Last Saturday,I went to Universal Studios Japan with my friend, Etsuko.
It is probably 4th time to go there with Etsuko.
We went there for the first time when we were 2nd grade of junior high school student.We can go there easily just taking the train!!
We might be a professional guides of Universal Studios.

However,this time was kind of special:we finally got a ticket which is available for one year.It cost 11,500yen.For one day ticket,it costs 5500yen or so.
As you know,one year tickets are nice!!
I want to recommend you to buy it if you like there.
If you get it,you can go there anytime you want to go.

We had a good time.
We decided to go there at least 10 times with the ticket,I am not sure it will carry out.

Buckwheat noodle

Hello!It is getting cold these days.I cannot stand the cold but I have to put up with it for coming my favorite season,spring!!

As you know,Dec 31th is a day called New Year's Eve which is the last day of this year.You would eat Japanese buckwheat called soba in Japanese when the following year comes soon.In my case,this year,I guess I would eat it at my part-time job because I work at soba restaurant,so many many customers will come to eat soba on New Year's Eve.(I am supposed to work on New Year's Eve)The day would be the most busiest day for me...

I want to introduce some dishes which are served at my workplace.I can eat most buckwheat noodles if I pay 150yen.(Their normal price is about from 700 to 800yen)

It's a common soba called zaru-soba.I like it very much!!



This is the one of my favorite soba!It is called kamonanban-soba.
There are duck and leek into the soba.The taste is perfect!!


However,I decided to quit my part-time job on January...
So,I want to try most dishes that I can eat!!

# 3days holiday#

How was your 3days holiday?
It must have been a free holiday because we had no homework!!
I felt strange about that because every weekends,we had to do homework at least one.
So,I would like to write about the holiday.

On Friday,I was so free because my parents went to Hiroshima to help my grandparents.There were only me and our dog at home(my older-brother was also but he always works until late at night)In the afternoon,I went my part-time job and worked for 5 hours.In the evening,I slept for about 3 hours with my dog and
watched "Meangirls" which I rent at TSUTAYA and went to bed.What was an
uninteresting day!But,I enjoyed very much.

On Saturday,Yuji and I went to Kiyomizu temple in Kyoto to see a maple tree.
There were too many people there so it was hard to move.Under the situation,we could see some beautiful maple trees. But,I would recommend you to go to see them a little bit later because they were not perfectly red.But,they were for sure tasteful.
You should go to Kyoto to see a maple tree!

Although it was not that special holiday,I had a very good time.
I hope that winter vacation will come soon!!

Protect the whales off Australia

For today's assignment,from many letters,I picked up the letter entitled "Protect the whales off Australia" written by Craig Stringer.It is a claim about Japanese whaling including Migaloo who is an Australian preferred humpback whale in order to do research him.The plan will start in less than one week and she thinks it should not be done.

Through her logic,she is trying to make readers realize that how Japanese plan is stupid by using numbers of how many whales they are
planing to kill(in this case,she insists 50 humpback whales and 10 fin whales would be killed)and she explains the detailed tragic process of researching whales like their bodies are born and peered.These contents implies that the plan would lead to an extinction of Australian whales and in addition to that,although she does not use her emotion in the letter directly,she is trying to warn Japanese government not to do it for the future.

She seems to have proud as Australian from the letter because she mentions that Australian government does not do such a thing which might lead to an extinction rather it keeps protecting from now on.So,one thing that she is an Australian is her authority in this letter.

New law;Fingerprinting

This article"Not so welcome to Japan any longer." is protest against the law which is when foreigners enter Japan,they have to take their fingerprint or photograph to identity whether they are terrorists or not.It will be start by an immigration bureau and the justice ministry in Nov.20.

The writer feels that this law is smug and arrogant, and either dishonest or dangerously deluded because it will invade human right and fingerprinting and photographing do not completely leave who is a terrorist,it is just for establishing identity.

I think the writer seems to be true.Fingerprinting might help prevention of terrorists effectively but if it is applied to all foreigners except for terrorists,they would feel that Japanese are unwelcome to Japan and they might be invade their privacy.Certainly,it has an effect to warn international terrorists to stop entering Japan but it will affect all foreigners who has nothing to do with terrorists.

Response to the two articles

Today's article is about discrimination in Japan.Six people who are from some countries are focused on the survey about which minority groups faces the worst discrimination in Japan and each of them says their own opinion.
Into these responses,I agreed with the opinions of Yuko Furusawa and Aki Yokota.They say handicapped people are discriminated in Japan.I think it true.The expected improvement of it does not happen.

What is the biggest problem of that is getting job as they say.Actually,people who have handicap do not get job which they want to do.The job is limited because they are regarded as people who cannot do everything.However,like Furusawa,I want to say
that government should create chance to get job for them.People are same only just there is an inconvenient parts.

Next,I want to make a response to Mike Dewood who wrote 'Ebb and flow of discrimination.'He says that it depends on the place we live that which groups face discrimination.He lives in Nagasaki and many Japanese hate American there.The fact like kids throw rocks at him must be true because he actually experienced them in Nagasaki.However,he limited such a discrimination as problem only in Nagasaki.It is definitely not correct. Whether which group are most discriminated do not have to do with where you live in.We can see such a situation anywhere in Japan.Although I never seen such a bad situation in Japan,I can trust him because the fact is truth through his own experience. So,Japanese government should take measure of these problems.

Respond to the article 'Four marines investigated for rape'

In this article 'Four marines investigated for rape',it is reported that four marines are suspected of assaulting the woman.Two writers,Manuel Sandoval and Kevin Egan,makes responses to it each.

Manuel Sandoval the writer of 'Don't judge marines too fast',uses her authority that she was once assigned to Tachikawa Air Base.She seems to say from the logic'"you can take the girl out of the bar, but you can't take the bar out of the girl." that all people who work in a bar do such a bad act such as going out with Four men and being raped by them.In this logic,all people who work in a bar are denied but it is not correct.For that part, is is implied that four marines do not have to be punished because the woman had fault.However,they should be strongly punished through the fact by police.

Finally,she insists on whether military in U.S. is needed or not.They should protect their own countries from crimes such as rape as their work.The content has nothing to do with whether the four marines are punished or not,it is to make reader imply that it is dangerous to put military in other country including Japan because as people like the four marines,there are some bad millitaries.However.unless they are punished,military all around the world are needed because they are here to protect their countries and other countries.

Why I am in IES

When I took a first TOEFL test,I miraculously got a good score.I could not believe why I got such a good score.I was very happy to that,but I was so worried about IESa class.I also could not believe why I could be an IESa student because my ability of English is poor.

According to my guess, there are some people who have lived in foreign countries in IESa.They speak English very fluently.After one month passed,I was full of much stress because I thought I could not follow the class of IESa,reading is difficult and I cannot say what I want to in English. But,I worked hard by myself and something in my mind has changed.

One of the reason why I am in IES is to come true my dream.
In fact,my dream is uncertain but I have been interested in air hostess since around junior high school.From the time, I already decided to enter the foreign language university and improve my English skill.When I heard of IES,I had interest in IES soon and signed.


Second,I want to study abroad in 3rd grade.I really want to go to Canada because I have been to Canada and it was really really nice place.I wanna go there again!!It's my big dream and my parents also allow me to go abroad.
I want to improve my English skill for my dream and make foreign friends!!

For these things,I think I am in IESa class now.
There are many opportunities to speak,write in English and listen in this class.
But,in fact,I cannot say what I want to in English in front of class.
So,I think my strong self-confidence is needed!!I'll keep my effort in order to stay in IESa!!

I would like to introduce some school festivals which most of you would know in Kinki area.In Konan university which is located near Nishinomiya,ORANGE RANGE who is very famous among young people will come to sing a song.

I really wanted to go there!!
In Konan women university, Anna Tsuchiya who is a cool singer and Yuta Hiraoka who is an actor will come!My friend goes there so I might go...
In Hyogo university where my best friend goes,FLOW will come.Probably,not everyone know them(in fact,I don't know well)However, their concert will be exciting one because their songs are passionate.I'll go there.

Also,it is good chance to go to school festivals where your friends attend because you can see them and talk a lot and enjoy eating or stage.
That would become good memory in your life!!

This weekend..

Hello!Did you enjoy somethig this weekend?
In my case, on Saturday,I took TOEFL test.It was third time for me.After it finished,Yuji and I were disappointed because we did not do well.

On Sunday,I went shopping to Umeda with my mother(*∪*)
I have not gone shopping with my mother for a long time maybe since high school student.I do not have to carry my money because my mother pay for everything!!
This time was bithday present for me.
We went to EST and HEP and bought some cloths.My mother looked tired because I took her a lot of places. But,she enjoyd food shopping because she likes going to department underground called "Depachika"in Japanese.She looked happy when shopping.
We went back to home at around 7.I was so satisfied with shopping!!
I thank my mother for buying me nice cloths.

On Monday,I had been worked at my part-time job from 11:30a.m. to 8:00p.m.!!
It was eight and half hours work...too long!!
I had rest time for 1 hours only.My feet hurt because I kept standing up.
But,fortunately I could earn 6800yen only one day(^б^)

I had a good time for three days.

Japanese:A language in a state of flux

The article written by Tomoko Otake seems currect,I think.Now in Japan,people cannot live without gairaigo because they had already forgotten how to express the word in Japanese compared to people in an old time.I think the origin is rapid importation of gairaigo as the author says.

In fact,people especially young generation use katakana when speaking and writing just like me. I suggest that government should consider the linguistic problem with people in foreign countries and take back the original Japanese as soon as possible If they do not do,the most meanings of Japanese would disappear gradually.I think the effective way for it is firstly to change the way of education from elementary school to high school like changing the content of teaching materials.These students learn Japanese language at school in Japan.It is the first step to teach the original Japanese.

And I think reading Japanese old book is good for teaching kanji because many kinds of kanji which are useful and may not know ever are included into it.As I read it,I probably can learn kanji more. I have heard that people who like reading book not magazine know more kinds of kanji than people who rarely read books.I think it is true.

Of course,katakana is useful way for us because it is easy to speak and write.However,people should cherish the existence of kanji and use kanji it is difficult to express though.I also think for Japanese that knowing gairaigo more than Japanese language is kind of shame as Japanese.

Long time no see!!

Hello!Everyone(^∀^*)
How was your long summer vacation??
I am glad to see you!!Most of you would return to your hometown and spend with your family and friends.I wanna know how you spent the summer vacation...Let's talk and talk everyone!!

I had a very good time on my summer vacation.I did a part-time job more than usual and sometimes I met some friends who have not met for a long time. Some of them I met
were friends who have not met for two years.I met them in Canada for the first time and we became good friends. At first,I met them,I did not know What they looked like because of two years term.We continued to talk because there were a lot of things to talk.I was very glad to meet them.

As you know,there are many firework festivals in summer!!I bought new yukata this year which is black with pink-flower.I went "Tenjin-matsuri" and "Kobe festival" and "Ashiya summer festival"!!I enjoyed very much★#But,I hope people would decrease at the time..

I went two days trip to Kyoto with my best friend Etsuko.(I wanna go trip more and more though;)We went Shijo and Sanjyo in Kyoto,and there we ate parfait made by green tea.
Let's have a look of it!It looks delicious,isn't it?..Yeah!It was very very nice taste!!You should go there when you have a chance to go to Kyoto.We stayed at nice hotel and more we went jinrikisha for the first time!It was surprise for me.I thought it is uncomfortable to sit but definitely not,it was very comfortable...
I ate a shaved ice made of soybean flour.We are told the place by driver of jinrikisha called "Gen-chan".It was very very great!Perhaps,I would eat a lot of kinds of sweet food this summer! My weight definitely did increase..



I went to Universal Studios Japan with Yuko. It is maybe seven times to go there.So, I know almost the ways.I should buy one-year passport because it costs 5800 yen per a day...
We rode all of most famous rides because of less people than usual. We rode spider man twice.Most impressed thing is roller coaster made last year or so. We can choose one of the five songs including "Dream Come True"'s song.We both rode it for the first time, so I was very excited before we rode it. But, actually it was so scary for me. After we took off, I spilled out a little tear from my eyes.haha However, it was so fun!!I wanna go there more and more.
Thank you Yuko(≧з≦)/

Although I did not go to many places,I really enjoyed this summer with many people!!
I thank them for making nice memories with me☆
I need to study English more because I did not use English this summer.
I'll do my best this semester.

Hey!How is your summer vacation going? Summer vacation already started two days ago for me.Some of you may have test for ending of 1st semester,but I fortunately do not have any test.I am so happy♪I cheer you up to succeed in your test

1st semester was very very hard for me.However,I could experience new things that I have ever done such as doing presentation, shooting with camera and writing essay.They were completely new for me.As I experienced them,I could learn a lot of things.So,now I feel satisfied with them,they were too hard though.

Yesterday,I went to school to attend supplementary lecuture of linguistic class.I felt a little sad when I saw the vacant classroom where we studied together.You will go back to your hometown ,some of you not though..I always go back to my house after school.So,you can meet your friends. I am also going to meet friends who have not met for a long time.I am looking forward to seeing them!
I took this picture when I was chatting with Yuko.She also put the same picture on her blog.We chat every 5th period on Friday at the top of the stairs.You can find us this time.We talk about lot of things like love and love and love...hehe(^^) I like this time,because I can tell Yuko everything I want to talk about. I feel like being released from stress.We will continue to chatting, no defenitely do!!

Get drunk...

Hi!!How was this weekends?
I just had a part-time job on Saturday from 11a.m. to 2p.m, and on Sunday I feel relaxed at home until at night,sleeping,eating,watching TV and then sleeping again(^б^;)haha So,I have nothing to write on my blog though,I have one thing to ask you...

Do you like drinking?I think you all like it.I like drinking of course!But can you drink alcohol too much?In my case,I seem that I cannot drink too much.The reason is after drinking,my face becomes red and then I have a headache and finally I sleep...even though I drink only one can of sour.My mother always says I am a weak of alcohol when I drink.But I do not want to believe it.

I drunk one can of lemon sour at home during dinner on Saturday.I drunk it 「fast」 without chatting with my parents.As soon as I finished drinking,my face became quite red like an apple and I had a headache a little.I was convinced that I got drunk...However,I found one thing by having been said by my mother.It is that I do not get drunk if I drink alcohol slowly chatting with someone.

Actually,when I drink with my friends chatting with them,my face does not become red and there is no headache!I will be careful with it because to become red face is embarrasing for me...my friends say it is cute though.

I heard from my friend that to become red face shows that the liver is healthy.Did you know that??

2007年6月28日木曜日

That's my treasure!

These days,we are too busy as you feel.But!!Soon,summer vacation will come♪Do you have any big plan for this summer?

Anyway,I would like to talk about my high school's festival!!

In my high school,every June,school festival called 'Narukousai'is held.3rd grade make a play and we compete with plays of other classes.Our class made a play focused on a movie"Dear frankie".Does anyone know the movie?It is a domestic drama.It is difficult for me to explain the story in English....but you can see
this website to get some information about it.

I was a role of set not an actress.We prepared for the action until after school.We,as a back role, made T-shirts below↓This is one of my precious things in my school life!!
Our class got a first pride!!!As soon as we heard the news,we were so pleased jumping.That is the best memory in my high school life★+。

I'm sorry I could not go to school festival in this year....but surely our junior would perform nice plays,I hope.

My first part-time job!!

This Monday,I started to do a part-time job at buckwheat ( soba) reataurant.The reason why I decided to work there is that just it is a little near from my house and I wanted to try to take order and serve dishes,that's it!(^∀^)

In fact,I do part-time job for the first time.So,when I arrived at the office,I did not know what to do at all.But,coworkers are very very kind to me.I was taught many things to memorize by one woman who has worked there for 5 years.She was all perfect!!

Because that day was little customer,I was told to memorize all the menu as much as possible, and the way of taking order or serving dishes or teas were taught by her. Sometimes she was serious but she was kind showing smile.However surprisingly customers started to increase.I acutually practiced what I learned before.Inside my head was confusing.
I was sorry for having taken wrong order once...5 hours past very soon!

At last,I was taught about how to clean and then my first work finished all!!My body was completely tired but the work was so fun★
I have part-time job on Saturday and Sunday.I hope I do not mistake order and I'll do my best!

Thank you for reading.See ya(≧ε≦/)

"Baby hatch"

Today,I will talk about an issue called "Baby hatch" which perhaps you have ever heard of.

A "Baby hatch"is a place where mothers bring their unwanted baby just for they cannot raise their baby by themselves and instead of real mathers carer take care of their children with compassion. In Japan it is known as "stork's cradle"or "baby post".It is usually in a hospital or a social center and it is made by kind of small box with a door and a sensor.When the sensor alerts the carers,they can come soon and take care of the babies.

On May 17,2007 in Japan,in Kumamoto a three-year boy was abandoned by his father and Jikei hospital found the boy and started to take care of the boy.It is the time to put "Baby hatch" in Jikei hospital. The news expanded to all over Japan and is now discussed.

People will have two different ideas:"Baby hatch" is a good way or a bad way.

Here is
one letter written by Krishna Haksar. She mentions "Baby hatch"is a bad way.First of all,she says about separating children regardless of age.The children feel severe sadness and actually the incident traumatize them even though the children are infant.She had worked with children and families for more than 20 years.Through this exprience,she emphasizes a relationship between children and their parents and mentions that for unwanted children and their parents,"Baby hatch"is not a good solution but government support like when such a problem is identified, to follow prenatal care strongly is needed. She also mentions that as such a system is adopted,abandonment of children will continue in Japan because Japanese people are far more sensitive and compassionate than people in othe coutry.

Here is
the other letter written by Name Withheld.This letter argues against the former opinion. She persuades the readers in a way of using fuctual experience of pregnant of junior high school student.She and her
boyfriend finally ended up abandoning the baby in the temple. She says that if there is a facility like "Baby hatch",they will choose to leave their child there because it is the safe place on medical care.She wants to mention that this facility can help unwanted baby's life.

My opinion:
I agree with the former's opinion.

That is why if I were the child who was abandoned by my parents,I would be really shocked mentally.I would surely think that I am an unwanted child."Baby hatch" is a good way for unwanted children,but the sadness of loss of their parents will increase.As the children grow up,another problems will happen. When they knew that they are abandoned by their parents,their suffering will not end until they become adults and more they will come to blame their parents like "Why did you separat us?".

I also agree with the latter opinion about one point.Making a facility similar to "Baby hatch"is good for unwanted child and their future.However,I think there is a thing people should think-before having babies ,both mother and father have to recognize each other about having their baby and have to have a confidence of raising babies unitl they become adult and think that they really want babies.Recently,people especially young people get pregnant without thinking about it carefully and on certain news,some of them killed their babies because they did not have a confidence of rasing them or because of a problem of money.

If people think that, unwanted child will decrease and of course,a facility such as "Baby hatch" doen not need.I hope that unwanted children decrease.

**Kobe Luminarie**

Hello(^^)/Today,I'll introduce Luminarie which is one of the famous event in Kobe. The picture below is one of them taken in 2006.

It is held in the middle of December at around the East amusement park in kobe and about five million people visit there every year.Have you seen this before?I have been to see it once when I was elementary school student.I remember clearly that it was so beautiful★At the beginning,we walk into the tunnel made of lot of bulbs and finally we arrive at a circle of lights you can see it with the photo above. I felt as if I entered a different world when I was walking the road.

This event was held,at first,in December,1995 to memorialize victims of a strong earthquake called "Hanshin-awaji daishinsai"which happened on January 17th, 1995. It has been held since then every December.It was designed by Valerio Festi,an artdirecter in Italy,and Hirokazu Imaoka,a producer in Japan.There is one theme each year such as "Fascination of the sky"theme in 2006. "Luminarie"means illumination using small bulbs in Italian.

Please go to official site of Luminarie if you wanna see other details or you wanna watch former pieces in 2005 and 2004 etc.

What I was surprise at is that using too many lights for it(I did not know how many lights are used)They say that the charge for electricity of it is about ten million yen.That's so surprising!!

Finally,I'll show you a beautiful illumination!!Enjoy watching★+゜

That's so nice,isn't it?If you wanna watch other images,you can use YouTube to see them taken by the visitors!!

I do not remember the first visit at all because I went there when I was 3!!My friend and I had a great time there. I wanna go there again as soon as possible!!

Next,this is my high school's blog-Naruo high school.My high school is very old and has many traditional events such as school festival I like the best!I wore symple school uniform and loose socks.There are many precious memories of high school(^∀^*)

Finally,I'll introduce YouTube which I knew through IESa class.There are lot of categories in it such as video and music.You can enjoy watching them!!

♡My lovely dog♡


Today,I want to introduce my lovely dog on the left side!Her name is 'marron' and she is 3 years and 1 months old.She is so cute and I love her so much!


The reason why her name is 'marron' is that her hair color is brown like chestnut(marron) and she entered members of my family in autumn when it is the best season to get and cook chestnuts, you know.

She has a very big eyes and wonderful thick tail which you cannot see with this photo ,though. If I say her character,I can say just 'She is a dog who nestless up to us and sometimes selfish.'She always sits on someone's knees of my family, especially my father's and sleep there.When she did bad things and we scolded her,she someimes resists it.

She likes eating our foods but her foods such as potatos,some kinds of cheese and pumpkins and so on.She also likes walking outside.I take her for a walk on weekends in the river near my house.That's fun for me!!

I think she knows about us very well and loves us by showing love to us every day.My family and I,of course,love her so much.

Thank you for reading(^∀^*)/...

Commercial for Pizza Hut

Today,I'll talk about one Japanese commercial which you might have watched before on TV and which you feel hungry if you see it.

Take a moment and wacth it:



Target Audience:

This commercial is directed at all people in Japan,but especially people who are hungry and who love pizza. If they see this,they might immediately order a pizza calling this company.

People evaluate the price of pizza or variation in pizza perhaps where it is located comparing with other pizza's company such as Domino Pizza and Pizza-La,and they find good or bad point.In this case,there are a lot of competition between them.

This commercial is also directed at younger people.That is because older people pay attention to their health.They contains a lot of calories and additive into them.So,to careful of eating too much pizza is important,even younger people.

Authority:

This commercial uses a ordinary family.In this way,people who watch it can feel intimate by using a ordinary family.

The biggest authority of this commercial is the name of the company'Pizza Hut' which is one of the famous pizza's company in the world.You can see the letter'Pizza Hut' at the end of this ad with rhythm.It is easy for people to remember something by using some rhythm such as 'Pizza Hut♪'
People must be interested in this commercial!


Emotion:

This commercial make people feel hungry and make people say ' I want to eat it'. Showing the image to the audience like eating, playing games is effective way to feel someting like 'I want to eat it'or 'I want this game'.

The more a new kind of pizza is made,the more ads are made at the company.
In this case,the idea that people can eat up to the edge of pizza deliciously because there is a sausage into the edge. The way like this surely attract the audience.

Logic/Information:

You can see that the pizza is new dish on the menu and more it is possible to eat up to the edge.You see that there are many kinds of vegetable on the pizza.

Though some people might not agree, if you order a pizza at Pizza Hat,the deliverer brings it to the house soon by bike.

Evaluation:

I think this ad is very good,because by using a ordinary family,I can feel intimate.And also I can feel that there is a original menu in Pizza Hut.

But, I think putting the details of pizza like how much calorie included in the pizza and how big it is and how much it is,is better.

All thing considered,on a scale of 1-10, I would rate this commercial 8.

I gave it an 8 because this ad must surely attract people who are hungry and who love pizza.
