My favorite comic

My favorite comic is FULL ALCHEMIST. It’s about alchemy. There are two brothers. One of brother doesn’t have his right arm and left leg, so he has an artificial arm and leg. These made of steel. Another brother doesn’t have his body.
His body is armor. So people call them “Full metal alchemist. When I was a junior high school student, I bought the comic. First, I thought the story is difficult.

BR2-12; Gran

I read Gran, because there is a gran the book's cover. She seems to happy. I want to know why she seems to happy. Gran came children's house. They took Gran's things. The children liked Gran and Gran liked the children,. She played with the children. She took the children out. They went in Gran's old car. she took them to the fun park. They wanted to go on everything. They went on the Jumping Castle. Gran also jumped with the children, but she made a hole in the castle. A man yelled "Go home and don't come back." So they went back home. Biff told Mom about the castle. Gran was sad. Then she found magic key. Then new adventure started!

My favorite line is "Oh no!"(Roderick, 2003, p.6-7) In fact, Gran broke a flower vase and an windowpane when she played with the children. I think she is a scatterbrain. She enjoys playing with the children. She doesn't break things on purpose. She just wants to please the children.

They looked at the little house which was Biff's. Biff explained for them that it was magic house. Chip explained magic key. Suddenly, the magic was working. The children got smaller and smaller. It took them to the beach. They played there. They came across with pirates. The children was kidnapped by them. In fact, they wanted a party. Nobody wanted to go, so they took the children. They enjoyed the party. The magic key was glowing. They went back to their house.

I thought, pirates took the children as kidnapping. But they wanted a party. It's so funny! I'm relieved about their sake. They seem terrible, but they're good men!

Essay: 2-02c My language learning experience

Now, I'm going to tell you about my language learning experience. I'm an English major, so we have good chances to learn languages more than high school. First I studied English. Then I studied Spanish and Japanese. Japanese is my mother tongue. It's nature for Japanese to speak and write. I don't think that I learn the language without studying. In addition, I study many kinds of Japanese at school since elementary school. I have studied English since junior high school and studied Spanish for one years. These experiences are my language learning experience history.

I have studied English since elementary school. When I was an elementary school student, ALT sometimes came to our school. They teached alphabet to me. For example, I learned a little conversation and numbers. I learned fundamental English at junior high school. For example, I learned grammar, reading and writing. I also studied English for three years at high school. I studied English to take exam test for university. I wasn't good at English grammar, so I took time to studied grammar. Now I'm an English major. I have studied English for over eight years. It's my favorite language. But, I can't speak English, it's so hard for me. I know speaking and writing is different. If I want to speak English fluently, I have to speak English with foreigner who speak English.

I took Spanish class for one year at KGU. Spanish is similar to English. For example, word order is almost same. In addition, the way of reading is Latin alphabets. Of course it was difficult for me. There are many rules. For example, accent, word form, and more things. Especially, word form was the most difficult rule for me. Spanish has male and female noun and change word forms. I didn't know what was these noun and the word forms. I often made mistakes. But I could study Spanish because I could understand the word order.

I have learned Japanese for twenty years. Japanese is my mother tongue, but I think
it's also studying. In addition, it's one of difficult language for me even though I'm Japanese. I think Chinese character is the most difficult thing in Japanese language. I don't know how many Chinese characters in the world. Maybe we can't remember all of it. I think classical Japanese is also difficult. For example, 'yagate' means 'later', but it means soon in classical Japanese. Many words meanings are very different from nowadays Japanese. The grammar is also very different, and I didn't like classical Japanese. So I studied it very hard when I was a high school student. Gradually, I could understand classical Japanese.

I have learned three languages. There experiences are my language learning experiences's history, and important things. It is developed my English skills and Japanese. I have studied 3 languages, I think Japanese is the most difficult.

I'm Japanese, but there are many things which I don't know the Japanese words. Maybe, I can't realize all Japanese. I have never been to abroad. So I want to go! I want to learn French, it's interesting language for me. By studying many languages, I want to develop my English and Japanese skills. I want to learn more languages!

I read Superdog. This story's the hero of a novel is Floppy which is dog. One family watched TV about "Dog of the Year Show". There were contests with dogs for some competitions. There were many excellent dogs. They have a dog, which name is Floppy. They wanted him to be a dog of the year, but Floppy didn't want to do it. The next day, children went outside to play.

Biff was angry, because he tells not to asleep on his bed. He ran away into the park and inside giant pipe.

This story was so funny, because Floppy could be superdog in the city, but Biff didn't know about it. Floppy couldn't say what happened before. The end of book, Floppy says, "I don't want to be the Dog of the year, and I'm not superdog. I'm just me, I'm just a floppy old dog who wants a bit of peace." (Roderick, 2003, p.32).

BR:2-06 Solar Cooking

I chose "Solar Cooking", because the content is interesting for me. It refers about all over the world. It seemed to very difficult. In fact, it was difficult and interesting. The book says about solar cooking. It doesn't need fire when we cook.

Shimeall cook many dishes, but she doesn't use electricity, gas, charcoal, or wood to cook. A solar cooker is a type of stove that needs only the light from the sun, or sunshine, to cook food. Solar Cookers International wants to help stop the terrible deforestation which is occurring in some countries. The problem of deforestation is due to the demand for trees to use as a fuel.

I recommend this book, because you find the solar cookers is very smart for the future. I didn't know about solar cookers, but it's very great equipment. I could know the splendor. You should try to read this book to expand your outlook.

BR2-05: The Flying Machine

I tell you about The flying Machine in this time. I like this author's books. Nadim and his father took plane. The steward took them through the aero plane. He took them to the controls. Then Nadim would like to be a pilot. They got home. Then magic key began to grow. The magic key took Madam and Anneena back in the time. They met twins who develop flying machine. The flying machine couldn't fly, so they advised them to change the propeller. It seemed to good, but it couldn't stop. Finally, it stopped in the middle of the town. It had crashed into a statue.
I think this twins imply Light brother who were developing flying machine first. I like this story, because the content is comprehensive.

My favorite dessert 2nd

I made a mistake. I uploaded about My favorite dessert, but I wrote about my favorite dessert again. But I upload my favorite dessert again!!
My favorite dessert is pudding. It is sweet and soft. The texture is like jerry, but it's not different. I can't express pudding's texture. Especially, I like 'pu-chin-pudding'. It is cheap but the taste is very good. I'm not sure, but the pudding has two tastes. Maybe, it's soda and strawberry. I think it's for a limited time only. I ate these taste puddings. They were delicious, but I like caramel taste pudding. It is normal taste, and I'm not weary of the taste. I haven't eaten pudding long time. So I want to eat pudding now because of writing about my favorite dessert. I'll buy and eat it today!

Essay: 2-02a My language learning experience

This time, I'm going to tell you about my language learning experience. I'm English major, so I have many times to learn languages more than before. I have studied English, Spanish and Japanese. Japanese is my mother tongue. It's nature for us to speak and write, but we study many kinds of Japanese at school since elementary school. I have studied English since junior high school and studied Spanish for one years. These are my language learning experience history.

I have studied English since elementary school. When I was a elementary school student, ALT sometimes came our school. We learned alphabet, a little conversation and number. I learned fundamental English at junior high school. For example, grammar, reading and writing. Then I also studied English for three years at high school. I studied English to exam university. I'm not good at English grammar, so I took times to studied grammar. Now I'm English major. I have studied English for over eight years. Even though, I can't speak English, it's so hard for me. I know speaking and writing is another way. If I want to speak English, I have to speak English with foreigner.

I took Spanish class for one year at KGU. Spanish is similar to English. For example, word order is almost same. In addition, the way of reading is Latin alphabets. Of course it's difficult. There are many rules. For example, accent, word form, and more things. Especially, word form was the most difficult rule for me. Spanish has male and female noun and change word forms. I didn't know what was these noun and the word forms. I often made mistake. But I could study Spanish because I could understand the word order.

I have learned Japanese for twelve years. I think Chinese character is the most difficult thing in Japanese language. I don't know how many Chinese characters in the world. Maybe we can't remember all of it. I think classical Japanese is also difficult. For example, 'yagate' means later, but it means soon in classical Japanese. Many words meanings are very different from nowadays Japanese. The grammar is also very different, and I didn't like classical Japanese. So I studied it very hard when I was a high school student. Gradually, I could understand classical Japanese.

As you can see, I have learned three languages. There are many my language learning experiences's histoery. There are important things. It is developed my English skills and Japanese. To study many language, I want to develop my English and Japanese skills.

BR2-03:Tigger comes to the forest

This time I read Tigger comes to the forest. I knew only the name, but I hadn’t read it ever. I was interested in it. So I decided to read this book. This book has four chapters, so the story was long a little.

Pooh and Tigger would eat breakfast together. Pooh served honey for Tigger, but Tigger didn’t like honey. Tigger really likes haycorns. Pooh took Tigger to Piglet’s house, because Tigger can try some of Piglet’s haycorns. They arrived Piglet’s house and ate haycorns. But Tigger said, “I don’t like haycorns.” So they went out to find thistles which is Tigger likes. They could find thistles with Eeyore. Surprisingly, Tigger didn’t like thistles again! Next they found something for as a Tigger’s breakfast.

I recommend this book, if you want to know what Tigger likes, you should read this book.

Quickpost: My language learning experience

I’m learning English, and studied Spanish last year. Spanish is similar to English. For example, word order is almost same.

I can learn English to speak exchange students.

My favorite dish

My favorite dish is cooked rice. I like it very much! When I eat it, I always eat too much. But it is so delicious, so it is inevitable for me to do it. I think cooked rice is in this season of food. There are many kinds of cooked rice. For example, rice with Japanese chestnut, rice steamed in stock with vegetables, rice with chicken and more cooked rice. I hadn't eaten cooked rice long time. Then I ate cooked rice last week, and I was overeating again. It was so good, I was satisfied with it. So I'm afraid that I'm cautious about overeating. I want to eat it again and again! It doesn't get tired to me.

My favorite dessert

My favorite dessert is soft cream! Especially, the taste is vanilla. I want to eat getting full of cream in the corn. Many soft creams’s corn doesn't have taste. So if I can't eat the corn with cream, the taste is flat. I like waffle corn, because waffle corn has little taste. The cost is higher than normal corn. But if I can choose normal corn or waffle corn, I'll choose waffle corn. I like soft cream in these days. The reason is in school. At School's cafeteria sells soft cream in this year. And I always go to school's cafeteria. After eating, I sometimes buy soft cream. The cost is 100 yen. It is so cheap and delicious.

My favorite movie

My favorite movie is Princess Mononoke. It is written and directed by Hayao Miyazaki of Studio Ghibli. The content is very difficult. When I was 7 years old, my father bought the video. I remember the weird. There are many monster, it is called Mononoke by everyone. The Mononoke was weird for the 7 years old. They are wolf, boar and etc, but the size are very big! They are bigger than human, but I feel realistic the movie. I think the movie imply enviroment problem. One woman destroy forest to develop her town, so mononoke get angry with that. Now this thing happens all over the world. Because of it, global warming is a big problem for earth. It is reason why I like Prinncess Mononoke. The movie tell us about human's greed and ugly. I think people wants to many things. The result is today's global warming. But if we didn't do that, today's high technology is not in this world. Living together is needing today's world.

My favorite sport to watch

My favorite sport to watch is baseball! I think baseball is the most exciting game. I have watched baseball at Fukuoka dome two times. I went to there about 14 years ago, so the dorm's name is Fukuoka dome. Now the name is Yahoo! dome. I remember the game was so excited. I often watch baseball game at TV. I like "Giants", so I watch the team's game. Their throwing ball is very fast. Generally, our throwing speed is 100 km/h, but professional player's throwing speed is 140-150km/h. This is general speed among professional player. I'm sure that if I watch baseball game at dorm, I'm more excited! I want to go dome to watch the game during I am student. I like pitcher Darvish, his belonging team is "Nihon-ham". If I watch the game, I go to inter league play Giants vs Nihon-ham. Every summer, there is a Koshien games.

My favorite season

My favorite season is summer, because the season is not cold. I can wear light clothes. I like air conditioner's and fan's wind . It makes me happy. Especially, when I take bath after, the breeze from an electric fan makes so good. In adittion, we can play sports more actively. I play a catch with my friends in school. I think summer is sports season. On the contrary, I don't like winter, because the season is uncomfortable for me to spend in my daily. In addition, the season makes me shiver. Instead of it, when I feel hot, I can use uchiwa in summer. In fact, I like the season's atmospher, and I can wear many kinds of clothes. I like summer season's smell. I think the season's smell is grass. When I find the smell at first, I can find that there is coming summer. It is happy moment for me.

Wiriting Test

Developing Awareness
I could develop my awareness of the languages through blog, because I often wrote my blog in English. I needed to think my blog’s writing in English, so I was always in difficulty to write it.

To write my blog everyday, I knew the rules, so I could develop my awareness of the languages as a natural result.

Facing Challenges
Using technology was difficult for me, because there were some trouble things. But I could develop my technology skills.

I like movie "Spirited Away". This movie showed about nine years ago. I went to a movie with my family. Actually, I have been movie three times. I went to movie "Doraemon", "Spirited Away", and "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire". I have watched only three movies at theater. So "Spirited Away" is impressed by me.

They towards the tunnel. They arrived like town. Chihiro feel the atmospher is strange. She wants to go back home, but her parents eat foods and they became pig. Then strange creature is coming, so Chihiro went back, but she couldn't. The way has become a deep river. When I was elementary student, I felt weird. The strange creature like shadow.

feeling of summer

In summer, there are many mosquitoes. Many people are bitten by mosquitoes, but there are some people who are bitten by mosquitoes high or low frequency of biting. I wondered this condition, so I searched about it. There are some theories. For example, blood type of O is bitten by mosquitoes high frequency of biting, because the taste like flower's nectar. But think scientifically, this information is not from a reliable. Other theory is density of carbon dioxide and person's temperature is high, mosquitoes swarm to the person. That is a person who has a rapid metabolism are bitten by mosquitoes high frequency of biting, so when you do a exercise or drink alcohol after mosquitoes swarm to you. When you are bitten by mosquitoes, don't hit it from up! You had better hit it from side, because if you hit it from up, it squeezes a secretion of itchy. I know blood type of O is bitten by mosquitoes high frequency of biting, but I didn't know the reason. When mosquito bits me, the mark remain on my body long time. I need to apply ointment to a mosquito bit. Mesquite appear while summer, so I can feel the season, but I don't like mosquitoes.

I can fly

If I can become an animal, I become a bird. I can fly on plane, but I can't fly myself. I want to see world from the sky. I think that birds think "there are many things, and crowd. People seem to very busy." I wonder when the weather is rain, where are they go. When the weather is rain, we can stay inside like home. But they can't. They can stay in tree. But they can't avoid rain perfectly. If I can become a bird, there are many troubling things.

Western Philosophy

Today I had western philosophy's test. Western philosophy's content is logical formulate. The teacher said "Philosophy is a kind of wonder or refusal to take things for granted. The first class, the teacher told us, "Caesar invaded Gaul. Thrush's eggs are blue. Two and three make five." This sentences mean declarative sentences. Next, "Polly, put the kettle on." This sentence is an imperative sentence. "O to be in England, now that April's there." This sentence is desire. Who is Sylvia? This sentence is an interrogative sentence. "If Eclipse wins the Derby, then I shall be rich." I can't understand what this sentences meaning, but teacher told, these are proposition. We can make sure of the truth of the matter. I thought, I can't understand the meaning, so I can't make sure of the truth of the matter! For example, this is a question. Snow is white. True or false? This answer is 'Snow is white' is true, if and only if snow is white. I get still worse. I can't catch up with the class. And also I am afraid that there is a possibility of losting credit. Maybe I will not take the class next semester.

History of Mandinka

Hello, everyone! I'm Daisuke. I want introduce about our country "Mandinka". Then I will talk about history of Mandinka.

Mandinka locates at sky, because it is very hot on the ground. Long time ago, Mandinkan people were affected by the heat, so they avoided from the heat place. To avoid the heat place, they wanted to go sky, but they couldn't. One day, people found a wounded beautiful pegasus, so people helped him. In fact, the pegasus was prince. Then he took Mandibnkan people to his country in return for their help. The prince pegassus said to live in a sky. People were very pleased. Then people decided to live in pegasus's country. As you know, Mandinka's history is closely related to pegasus.

Now country Mandinka is peace. When people lived on the ground, there were many wars, because of shortage of foods and water. People took territory by force to get foods and water. Many people died for wars. Time passed, they thought that "the war is vain". They needed to help each other. They thought that there should be no more wars. After that, they stopped war and started to share their foods and water.

There were some tragedy occurrences, and some interesting occurrences. Now they live in peaceful country with pegasus. People are satisfied with their lives. They pray their counry and all over world'speace.

I needed to make an guidance plan. It was assignment as a report. It was most difficult assignment for me. I made guidance plan, but there were many mistake. When I taught about "respect for personality", I didn't know how to go on with the plan. I found

JOY!

I played a catch with my friends at this week's tuesday. The weather was cloudy. The temperture was low so it was good condition to play a catch. Yuta, yusuke, Otis and I went to ground to play it. We hadn't played a catch long time. We did exercise to stretch. I was in a sweat only to do exercise. Then we started to play it. Yuta was pitcher when he was a junior high school student. His throwing ball is fast. I'm afraid to catch his ball. His pitching form is side-throwing so it is difficult for me to catch his ball. To throw from side, we can't see the ball's course. It is difficult for batter to see the ball. Yusuke belonged baseball club when he was junior high school. Now he belongs to baseball club at Kawashiri. He goes to Kawashiri to practice baseball. He is tall so the pitching form is big! His pitching form looks like Yu Darvish. I'm envious him. When Otis was Kumamoto Gakuen's foreign student, we often played a catch with him afterschool. He didn't play a catch but he has quick reflexes. He could play a catch. Rainy season is coming now. We want to play but we can't. I'm looking forward to end the rainy season.

We ordered 'nomi-hodai', but to do it, we had to order at least 2 foods. We ate a lot before, so to order some foods, it was too hard for us. So we ordered some foods. It makes us tired. But we spent good time. Then we went to friend's house. 14 people went to friend's house. His house is so large, so it didn't meke his house narrow. We talked a lot. It was so fun!

Now my friend who was Kumamoto Gakuen University's foreign country student. He comes from Australia. He has stayed in Kumamoto for two weeks. He will leave here in July 9. When he was a Kumamoto Gakuen University foreign student, I often hang out with him. His Japanese is very good. He speaks Kumamoto-ben, he says "Because I am Kumamoto-jin!". He doesn't speak English when he talks with me. So I often forget that he is Australian. Now, he wants to entrance graduate school. He wants to learn method of translation.
