History of My Dog

I'll introduce about my dog which died few years ago. Recently, I recalled the time it died, so I decide to write about it. My family moved to a village from a city about eleven years ago. We wanted a new family member before we moved, so we decided to have a dog. At first, we discuss kind of dog. For example, we thought corgi, dalmatian, pomeranian, brushwood dog, and miniature dachshund. We haven't had animals, so we decided to have a small dog. Dalmatian has short hair and it is difficult to come off hair. Others are very cute. We finally decided to have a miniature dachshund. It is me that said "I want miniature dachshund". We didn't buy a dog in a pet shop. We called a person who have dogs, and gathered to a place in order to get a dog. Then, we had a dog. It is a female. We decided her name on our way home. That name was "Beru". She was very beautiful, so we named it a name of a character in "Beauty and the Beast". We bought many goods for it. For example, we bought its toilet, bed, receptacle of its food and water, collar and rope to walk with it. At that time we started to have it, I didn't like to dispose of its toilet. Sometimes, I was about to throw up. I can dispose them smoothly now. My habit was walking with my dog everyday. I couldn't do that when it was rain. I enjoyed it. It looked like happy, too. We take it everywhere we went. I wanted to travel with it, but there are few number of hotels dogs can stay. Therefore, I couldn't travel with it. It was very fun when we went to a sea and mountain. When we went to a sea, it swam. I and it swam together. It did a dog paddle. It was scared of sea, but it swam soon. It was snowing when we went to mountain. It was in high spirits. I enjoyed snow with it. It ate snow! I didn't know that snow was delicious. I and it have climbed a mountain together. I don't have much energy to climb the mountain soon, so I climbed it slowly. I put off its collar, so it climbed very soon. I was worried about losing its way, but it came soon when I called its name. When we arrived at top of the mountain, we ate our lunch together. It was clever. It learned our order soon. For example, it learned "sit", "shake", "beg", "hit the deck", "wait". I ordered these sign before I give it foods. When it was about forty years old, my family discuss about puppy. We want it to give births to puppy. I asked my friend who have miniature dachshund. It gave births to three puppy in kotatsu. My father tried to take puppy in kotatsu from Beru, but Beru bit my father's finger to protect puppy. At that time, I felt Beru's love. One was very vigorous. However, other two puppy were died...... One of died puppy was black, and another was brown. Brown one was not perfect body, so it was died soon after it came from its parent. Black one was died because of lack of nutrition. I and my mother tried to let it drink milk, but it finally died. Beru had one puppy. My family decided to grow those two dogs deeply.
We thought of that puppy's name. After few hours, my father named it "Mei". Mei was a Chinese character, "命". That word means "life". We want the puppy to live long life for the puppy's deceased brothers. Beru and Mei grew up healthily.
Beru often threw up from a day. That condition continued for few years. It threw up many times as time went on. I and my mother took it to a animal hospital. It was X-rayed, and a doctor said that it had illness, and that illness wouldn't be cared. It has illness of bowels. I was very surprised and sad. I was told that we should feed foods when I hold and make it standing. I fed foods as I was told, but it threw up again and again. I had to dispose what it threw up. One day, I and Beru played together in our yard. Suddenly, Beru fell down, and it didn't move, couldn't walk. I was afraid of its death. I didn't want to believe that. After few minutes, Beru stood up and walked, but Beru looked very hard. From the day, Beru came to my room which is on second floor in midnight. I thought Beru was hard to walk, but it came to my room everyday from first floor. I took Beru to its house on first floor when it came to my room. I didn't understand the mean of Beru's action at that time. One day, I was sleeping in morning. I heard my father from first floor. "Beru is dead." I heard that word from my bed. I didn't believe. I hoped this is dream. After few minutes, I went to Beru's house. I saw dead body of Beru. Beru opened its eyes and mouth. I couldn't watch the figure for a long time. Strange to say, I didn't shed tears at that time. I wrapped Beru's body with towel. Mei which is Beru's child kept crying and licking Beru's body. I was cried when Beru was cremated. We made a tomb in our yard for Beru.
I wonder Beru was happy or not when Beru spent its time with us. Was Beru happy to have its child? And, I noticed the reason why Beru came to my room everyday in midnight. Beru was hard, and it asked help to me, I think. When I think about that, I shed tears sometimes. It is important to have responsibility to pets. We should prepare ourselves for pet's death. I love Mei now. However, I love you, Beru even now. Thank you for giving me happy times.

Ice Cream

I ate an ice cream. That name was "Gatsun to Budou". I bought it in a convenience store in a university. I forgot the price. I'm sorry.... That taste is grape. Some grapes are in the ice. I should take a picture of the content, but I didn't take. The taste of this was not so delicious for me. I think that ice cream was too sweet. I like better "Gatsun to Mikan" than this ice cream. "Gatsun to Mikan" is an ice cream like "Gatsun to Budou". That ice cream is like frozen ice of content of orange can. That ice cream is very delicious. I recommend you eating it in summer. That taste is moderate sweet. I usually buy them in a store, "Kosumosu". That store's ice creams are more inexpensive than other stores, I think. But some Kosumosu stores don't sell them. Please be careful about it.

Dish of Horse

My mother made a dish of horse. People in Kumamoto usually eat meat of horse. Eating meat of horse is one of cultures in Kumamoto. Usually, we eat raw meat of horse. If you eat fried them, they have some strange smell. I recommend you eating them as raw. I don't know how to cook them with heat. My neighbor gave us a meat block of horse. That was sinew. Sinew is hard, so it is difficult to eat as raw. My mother simmered them for a long time. Then, she brought a dish to a table. That dish was below picture. The taste was salty-sweet. It was delicious. I could eat much rice with them as if I could eat couple of rice bowl. There isn't so many recipes of horse meat. If you want to cook them, please go to the website.

Possibly you can find your favorite recipes. It doesn't costs to buy them in Kumamoto because meat which is sold in Kumamoto are most inexpensive of other prefecture, I think. Also, you can buy them on Internet.

They are not cleaned rice, so we have to clean rice with special machine. That bags of rices are very heavy, so my father and my brother carry these bags in a car. They can carry by themselves, but I can't carry by myself. Finally, we can eat rices after they clean rices. The rices are very delicious! A reason I like rices is this rice. When I cook rice, I put many water than when we cook other rice. After the rice is cooked, the rice has gloss. If you like hard rice, you don't have to put many water. I like these rices.

Essay 2-03b: Learning with Computers

You use computers to learn many things. You should do our homework with computer.  By using computers, we can develop and improve our job skills. Also, you can learn many things in the Internet. There are many merits to use computers. On the other hand, there are some problems.

You do your homework with computers. For example, you have homework to write fifteen thousand words in our blog, get individual points in English Central, and write reports. Not only these homework, you have other homework to do with computers. In Reading class, you have to make news quiz, homework of headline with a computer. Blogging is not easy homework. I always find something to write in my blog in order to write fifteen thousand. Some students have to write many report to get units, so they write their report with computers.

By using computers, you can learn the way we use computers, and develop job skills. In many work place, people use computers. I think it is important to use computers smoothly. You can improve the skills by doing our homework and studying by ourselves. For example, you use Word, Excel to make our homework. When you use them, you can practice how to use them. To type fast, we have to type without watching keyboard of computer. I'm not good at type numbers, so I'm practicing typing numbers and words. If you have time, please try blind touch.

I make presentations in some class's homework. Thinking layout of presentations is important. I have helped my father's making presentations. Then, I thought it is important to make layout to be understood easily. Not just make a presentation. I think there will be chances to announce, so I should prepare information before making one.

We can connect to Internet with computers. The world in Internet is very wonderful. We can study many things with it. We can study English, Math, Society, and so on. When I did part time job, I studied Math with Internet because I have already dumped texts of Math when I was a high school student. In addition, we can watch movies to study or to enjoy them easily. I watch movies in youtube. I watch part of movies, American musician's songs, and listen to healing musics. I recommend you studying somethings with listening to healing musics. I can concentrate to my homework or something to do. I can study enjoying movies, so I'm not bored. I think it is important to study enjoying. You can communicate with many people in Internet. You can chat with not only Japanese, but also with many foreign people. That makes your chat skill and language skills well, I think. If you have chance, you can use skype, but be careful not to write your private information. Even if you think that is alright, someone may use the information badly.

There are many good points of computer, but there are bad points, too. When you use computer for a long time, your eye become tired. Also, your eyesight become bad like me. If you kept sitting on a same place, I think you would have shoulder ache and back ache. I had hand ache when I use computers for very very long time. That was my real experience. I wrote it is easy to type faster, but don't type long time. Computer is a consumer electronics, so we need to pay electricity charges. It doesn't cost much money if you use notebook computer little long time, I think.

It is very fun to study and learn many things with computers. I always turn on my computer when I'm in my house. However, the computer become hotter than first you use, so you have to give rests for the computer. I heard that turning on a computer for a long time doesn't cost much than turning on a computer many times, but I think that it isn't good to keep turning on computers when you don't use them.

Computer is very useful for learning many things, but using too much is not good for us. I recommend you deciding time to use it, or you will have to buy glasses. However, deciding the time is difficult for me because it is very fun to use computers. I try to limit using computers. There are many information in Internet, so we should judge that information is right or false. It is depend on us that we use computers well or not.
