This movie was made 25 years ago, but it's no problem. A real good movie has being good movie forever. Thos movie is about a young man who entered tarining school to be navy officer. The training is too hard, beside their lecturer is too scary. If I eanter the school, I will escape within two days. Then he loves a girl who works at factory close to the school.

There are many impressivee scenes. I introduce some impressive scenes. First There was his close friend who is also trainee. When graduation was coming soon,　he despair of never being navy officer and resigned. Then he went to his lover's house and he proposed to he, but she refused. Then he disappointed and committed sucide by hanging himself. I was very surprised it. I was very sorry for him. Second After graduation celemony, He talked with scary lecturer. They hated each other, but they opened out gradually. Then the last scene is very popular. He went to factory to pick up his lover.

The main character was performed by Richrd Gere. He was too yang and cool in this time.

I wathched it in my home. This movie is about a man, his intelligence is like children seven years old. However he brought up his daughter. He worked at Star backs coffee for his daughter. When his daughter was seven, a social worker visited him and she concluded that he has not enough skill to raise his daughter. Then He lost his daughter, she was adopted into institution. Then he fighted for the parental authority with a lowyer.

The main character 'Sam' is too kind and pure man. He always loves his daughter 'Lucy', but the world is not kind for him. He has not enough money to raise her, and enough knowledge to teach manythings to her. Sam said ' Why I can't live with Lucy? I'm her father' I though that No one loves lucy mone than sam. What is the best way for Lucy?

I thought this movie is very very good movie. I was moved and i hope many people try to watch it. I reccomend it!!

Sugestions for successors

2008-01-30T11:23:00.000+09:00

I will suggest for successors. They have to make unique and original blog. Those unique blog make viewer interested. They have to many information with pictures and media. To polish their English skill is important, If they put better skill, they could make better blog. The book review is hard work, because They have to read books in English and they post about the book. However it must be useful for then to enhance English skill. I think the most important thing is Enjoying the blog. They think that blog is a kind of their hobby, not work. Blog is community tool, They can show about their self to their classmates, beside they can watch their classmate's blog and know about their classmate. Then please comment to classmate's blog. It helps them to communicate with classmates well. I will cheer them. Good luck!

Princess Diana was too famous person all over the world as the most beautiful woman in the world and princess of Wales, beside she loved children. She helped many charities. However she died in a car accident in Paris on 31 August 1997. The news made me too surprised. She was too young then, many photographers killed her, because they followed her everyday, every time and everywhere. The accident displayed the problem about photographer all over the world. They rob private time of the person. I thought they have to regulate their work.
When she was nineteen years old, she married prince Charles, and they had two children. She looked happy then, but after a lapse of several years she stopped living with Charlse, and four years later she divorced him, because of his behavior. He often meet other women and he went to anywhere without Diana. I hate Charles.
After divorce she lived with her children and she visited many countries to help people with AIDS and lepers. She appealed to people about landmines. She contributed to world peace.
I knew how she was loved by others, I also loved her of cause.

Final essay

2007-12-12T12:48:00.000+09:00

Introduction
The class is 2nd period in Wednesday, but I arrived at university before 1st period is done and I wait it is done in front of class room. Then I enter the class room as soon as it 's done and I turn on the computer, because I need more much time for typing speed trial. I often delayed to send E-mail to teacher in former semester, so I cared to don't delay in this semester.

We use computers for Writing class. Using computers is getting more important for us, because there are classes which need to use computers and almost all work need computers so computer skills is necessary for our future. I will refer about my computer skills.

Before Writing III
I used to use computer almost every day before writing III, but the purpose was just looking Internet. I didn't have opportunity to use computers for other ways. I learned many techniques about computers, for example how to put pictures, links. those techniques made my blog more interesting.

During Writing III and IV
After I started to receive Writing III, The number of using computers was raised extremely. At first I confused the class, because I was not good at use computers, because I didn't get used to type computers. Therefore I couldn't type quickly and accurately. However I continued assignment of the class, My computer and English skill was progressed slowly.

Spelling
I often fail spelling when I type English sentence. It means that my vocabulary is no good, I have to remember correct spelling. When I use 'Word', I often use 'spell check', It's very convenient system. It find my spelling miss and teach correct spelling. I want to be good at spelling and dont't want use 'spell check' system.

Reading
Book review is hard assignment for me, because I have to read books written in English. I don't like to read long sentence in English. In previous semester, I rent only too easy books, there are many pictures and short sentences, but in this semester I'm trying to read more difficult book than before I have read. Some books were boring and difficult to read for me, but others are interesting, especially I like books introduce about foreign country. I could finished to read the books and learned many things about foreign countries.

Viewing
I often watch more foreign movies than before. I write movie review after I watched the movie necessary. If the movie was very good for me, I want to write review more long to tell everyone more information and my feeling about the movie. When I watch foreign movie, I watch in English with Japanese subtitle. I hear English actors speak carefully and I compare their English and Japanese subtitle, I can find some interesting things. I can know some words foreigner often use, some words are dirty words. Then I often be impressed about translator, because they translate very well, fore example There are words Japanese can't understand and there are difficult words to translate other language, because the words are peculiar to English. They can translate those difficult words to Japanese . Thanks for them we can watch foreign movies.

Typing
I have to do 'Typing speed trial' first in Writing class every time. I don't like it, because I have to type many and quickly within remit time, if I delay to send e- mail I'm treat as absent. I'm embarrassed every time. I aim 100 words every time, but I can reach 100 words only occasionally. It concern about theme. If Theme of the day is good thing for me, I can type more, but The theme is boring, I can't type many. I want to type many about anything.

After Writing IV
I will continue to read English books and watch foreign movies in English after Writing IV, because those must be useful for me. I have to study English after the class to raise my English skill and for my future. I want to get a job which need English skill.

Conclusion
This class is one of the most troublesome class for me, because I have to post on my blog many, especially book reviews and essays were very troublesome. However I didn't miss deadlines, it was too good. I will never forget this class and connect next stage.
The teacher is foreingner, ofcause he speaks English, so it was difficult to understand what he says, I and my friends talk every time' What he said?'. We were too comfused. However The instractor helped us every time we were comfused. She is too kind, she told us what we have to do. Thanks for her I could hand in assignments everytime. We appreciate for her.
I want totake Beaufait' class after this class.

2007-12-05T11:43:00.000+09:00

TV is necessary for many people all over the world. Some people spend time with watching TV all the day. We can know many information and news. However there are many problems about TV problem, some problem give people ( especially children) bad influence and wrong knowledge. Some people don't go outside and fail their eyesight.

Genres
There are many genres of TV program, news, sports, drama, comedy, etc. I introduce some popular programs in Japan each genres. The best news program is NHK' news, because I can watch it in English. I can learn English and I can know news in Japan. It use current English. The most famous music program in Japan is 'Kouhaku uta gassen' of NHK. It is broadcasted once a year in night of new years eve. It used be very popular, but recently It is not more popular than previous, because there are other popular program in new years eve, for example martial arts program, comedy programs and so on, beside famous musicians don't want to the program, so the rating is getting worse.

Technologies
TV has been developing day by day since TV had appeared first. Original TV was black & white TV. It had only 2 colors and it take time to appear image after turn on the switch, because old TV was included 'Braun tube' it takes time to warm up it. Then TV is changing to thiner and thiner. TV used to use space to put in the room, but it use a small space recently.

TV stations
I introduce some TV stations in Japan. Fuji TV is popular about comedy and animation programs, the popular programs of comedy are Mechaike, Hanetobi, SMAP×SMAP, Waratte-iitomo, and so on. animation programs are Sazaesan, Chibi-maruko chan, One piece. Nihon TV built new studio in Shiodome. Shoten is broadcasted very long years. TBS has troubles about stock and boxing relay. TV asahi is supported by Doraemon, Crayon shinchan and soccer relay. NHK is serious TV station, it prohibit many things in program.

conclusion
I think that TV will be more high tech in the future, because people all over the world need that sincerely, so engineers will respond the request.
There are big problem which is violent scene. There are many violent scene and the scene which person kill someone with gun. Those scene is no good for children, so maker have to consider that, TV station have to regulate those scenes and parents have to overlook their children.
TV is wonderful product, so we have to use it rightly and happily.

The Pursuit of Happyness

2007-11-25T11:18:00.000+09:00

I watched The Pursuit of Happyness in my home yesterday.

It was released in America 2006, directed by Gubriele Moccino. He is young director in Italy. The leading actor was Will Smith, he performed many famous movies. He was nominated for best actor in leading roll of 79th Academy Award. The son of the main character was performed by Jaden Smith. He is real son of Will Smith. They performed in same movie. I thought Jaden must be great actor like his father in the future, because he is already good actor although he is too young.

The spelling' Happyness' included main title is incorrect, but it was in purpose. It was based on graffiti in the movie.

The movie is about a man who was a salesman, but he couldn't sell the products so he was too poor. He lived with his wife and son, but his wife left the home and he lost his home. Then he challenged internship of a big company. 20 people participated that and only one person will get a job in the company. He got over many hardships for his son.

It was good movie, I was little impressed by the movie. The bonds of child and parent are beautiful. I recommend it for you!!

Community

2007-11-21T15:25:00.000+09:00

I'm in some communities, but those are not so many because I don't have any part-time jobs now and I don't participate in any teams out of university. I will make futsal team with my friends, but I can't play it now, because I was in traffic accident and I'm hurting. I want to play it as soon as possible.

Photograph club
I entered the club last summer and I became a member of the club.I could make many friends who major in other subject and other grade due to enter the club. I sometimes play and drink with them out of the university, and I often see in accident and talk with someone the member of the club in university. Then I could make many memories, for example I went to travel in summer vacation. I swam in sea, ate BBQ and talked a lot things. the most impressive memory was school festival. We prepared for the festival from August. we made Mikosi, we displayed our works and we made and sold foods in booth. We enjoyed eating some foods and looked many display. Then the ending ceremony of the festival was great, we got two prize, we were very glad and we did 'beer shower' it was too fan . Finally The fire works were shot, there were too beautiful.

Eibei gakka
The English department is the most important community for me, because it is main part of my life now, we are student so our work is studying. I do like members of this department, there are good persons!! When I entered the university I was nervous about campus life and now, I can spend good time in the department comfortably, because I could some friends there. The biggest memory of the department was Kaigaikensh( study abroad program). I had been to Minnesota in America for a month in this summer. We spent together almost every day for a month in abroad, we experienced many newly things there, it was special program. I sincere like this department, but I have some complaints. First there are many home work to do, I'm boring with those home works. Second, canceling of lecture is fewer then other departments. I hope those rising.

Other communities
I often meet former part-time job's member. I could made some friends who are not same age and goes different school. we helped each other in work.
I like meet and drink with friends of high school days. Some friends are living in other prefectures so we can't meet often. Therefore we gather some time when they back to Kumamoto. We talks many things with drink, for example about our current life, our high school days. We can be so happy and warm up when we talk about those memories. I want to hold reunion as soon as possible.

Conclusion
I think belonging many communities is good thing, because I can make many kind of friends and I can learn many things through those activities. I want to enter more communities.

Toy Story

2007-11-08T21:14:00.000+09:00

This animated movie was released in America i995 and it was released in japan 1996. The director is John Lasseter. The producer is pixar animation studio. The studio made many famous animated movies, for example Monsters Inc, Finding Nemo, The Incredibles, Cars, etc. Toy Story was watched many people in theater all over the world, then Toy Story 2 was released in 1999 and Toy Story 3 will be released in 2010. main characters of this movie is toys. It express toy's life, there are many problems, struggles, but I thought those problems apply to a human beings. I have watched the movie sometimes. The first time was my childhood and I watched it again today. I took different impression between this time and my childhood.

The main characters were Woody and Buzz Lightyear, they are Andy's toy. Andy is a cheerful boy, he loves to play with toys. Woody is toy of the cowboy, he was Andy's favorite toy. he lives with other toys. One day Andy's birthday party was held and he got new toy "Buzz Lightyear". Buzz became Andy's favorite toy soon, so Woody envies and hates him. Then Woody and Buzz were picked up by Sid and came to his house. Sid is neighbor of Andy. Sid plays with toys violently and destroys toy, so Andy's toys are afraid of him. Andy tried to escape from there with buzz, but Buzz was depressed very much, because he watched TV commercial of toy "Buzz Lightyear" and he realized that he is only a toy, not Space ranger. Nevertheless Andy cheered Buzz and they cooperated to escape from there. Finally they could escape and came back for Andy.

I thought The main theme of the movie was friend ship. First there was friend ship among Andy's toys, especially I like Slinky dog. He trusts Woody very much . When Woody was suspected that he murdered Buzz, Slinky was believing him till the last. Beside, when Andy showed Buzz's arm from Sid's room to Andy's toys, other toys left in anger soon, but slinky left last very sadly. I was impressed the scene very much.

Second, there was friend ship between Woody and Buzz. Woody hated Buzz, but it was changed after Buzz realized that he is a toy. Woody told Buzz that toy is better than space ranger, Buzz is better than him. Woody told his true feeling to buzz and Buzz realized importance of toy. They understood each other in the scene.

Third, There was friend ship among Woody, Buzz and Sid's toys. Woody and Buzz were afraid of Sid's toys, because they looks very scary. However they were very kind and good guys against their appearance. They fixed Buzz 's arm and helped Woody and Buzz to escape from Sid's house. Woody and Buzz were came from the other place, but everyone is same toys, so their feelings were same.

I thought that the movie taught me many things about friend ship. It's important to make a friend who trust each other like Slinky, and we have to tell friends our true feelings. Then we have to help anyone be in trouble, but it's not important about race, nationality, job, etc.

The movie was too fun and useful for me.

Each country has original cultures. Of course Japan has many funny culture. I think that ‘Kotatsu’ is great culture of Japan. It’s getting cold day by day, so we need kotatsu. Kotatsu is very important in winter. Almost Japanese like to spend with kotatsu. Sleeping in the kotatsu is too comfortable, but we have to be careful, because we will catch a cold. Then eating ice cream in the kotatsu is good, especially ‘Yukimidaifuku’ is good for it. Kotatsu warm me up and support me.

Appetite

2007-10-17T10:58:00.001+09:00

Fall is season of appetite.

A ‘sanma’is good in fall I like grilled ‘sanma’ with grated radish. It’s tasty, but I don’t like grilled fish, because there are bones. When I was in elementary school I ate grilled fish as a school lunch, the　bone sticked on my throat. After that I don’t like grilled fish, it is scary.

My stomach is small, so I can’t eat so much. Fall is season of not only appetite but also sports. I will do sports hard then I will eat much after sports.

○University

・Kumamoto Gakuen University

First, I introduce KGU Which is private school. It's our university and the most cheerful university in Kumamoto. There are many nature, 'Icho namiki' is beautiful in fall.
It has 4 departments and 11 course. The university has many good equipments, because of them I can study many things comfortably. especially The library is very good, because it's clean, quiet and it has books and computers, so I like to spend time in the library. Then there is a bakery, many kinds of breads are baked there, especially I like 'ham & cheese' , it's tasty.
Clubs are very active in the university. school festival is the biggest event in the university. They prepare too hard for it.

・Kumamoto University
Kumamoto university is only national school in Kumamoto, so many people comes to this university from other prefectures. It's the most intelligent university in Kumamoto. It has seven departments and twenty nine courses, medical department and legal department, pharmacy departments, educational department and so on. Therefore you can choose your best department of all departments and study the subject.
If I study too hard, I can't enter the university forever. I wnt to visit to this university, because the building is very beautiful.

・Other universities
There are eight more universities in Kumamoto. Kumamoto kenritsu university, Kyusyu tokai university, Sojo university, Kyushu health welfare university, Heisei music university, Shokei university, Kumamoto health science university and Kyusyu Lutheran university.
Each universities has many good points. University students of Kumamoto can study those university for there dreams, and spend precious time.

○Politics

・Mayor
The mayor of Kumamoto city is Seishi Koyama. His birthday is 1965 June 10. His height is 178cm, his weight is 67kg. He keeps the weight for fifteen years. His hobby is reading and baseball. He likes to play with his children in a day off (he looks good father). He has a wife and three children. He went to Hokubu junior high school, Seisei high school. He had belonged baseball club. After graduation from high school, he entered Kyushu university. Then he got work at bank first, but he resigned there 5years later, and he became politician.
He has been being mayor of Kumamoto city since December of 2002. I respect him.

・Governor
The governor of Kumamoto prefecture is Yoshiko Shiotani. Her birthday is 1932 April 5. she was born in Saga where is next to Kumamoto. She is second woman governor in japan. She has been being governor of Kumamoto prefecture since January 2000.
Women governor is rare in Japan, therefore I hope she appeal Kumamoto and spread women's right.

・New local row
The new local row of Kumamoto city was started in September 2007. It prohibit to throw away and smoke on the street. This row aims to make comfortable and safety environment as a sightseeing city.
Smoking with walking is too danger and bad for other's health. A cigarette is too hot, and a hand which has a cigarette and height of child are almost same. I think politician have to make more row which isolate smoker and non smoker.
If you break this row, you have to pay a fine.
