I like this movie! I watched over ten times. I like their voice. The story is an singer of woman become sister to be hidden from gangs. However, sisters spend frugal time. The singer couldn't the life. Then, she was entrusted a conductor of choir. I like their improvement. They are very well to sing by the singer. Sisters' pure hearts make change to her.

They sing songs pleasantly, and their songs make me cheerful.

Unstoppable

This movie is based on a incident in America. When I saw a preview of this movie, I decided to watch this. I like action and horror movies, so I haven't watched many such them. This story is about accident of a freight train. Two rail workers tried to stop the train. The train carry dangerous material, so they should stop the train not to ran off the tracks. When I started to watch this, I thought this wasn't interesting. However, the story become very interesting in the latter half of the movie. Cooperation among the workers are wonderful. I was moved their heart to stop the train. When I heard about real story with Japanese TV program, I was moved moreover. And, that was interesting to find differences between the movie and real story.

AVATAR

I was interested in this movie because this movie was the first movie which can watch with 3D in theaters. Also, I heard that the movie was beautiful, so I decided to go to watch the movie. I went with my friend. I thought that 3D was not clear 3D I thought. I felt movie preview was clearer 3D than main movie. 3D grasses was heavy for me wearing another grasses. The content of the story was little interesting. There were love story and action I like. This movie is opened in 2009. The sales of this movie exceeded sales of Titanic. It takes for two hours and forty two minutes to finish watching this. I thought that is long to watch, but the story is interesting. Therefore, I felt the time is not so long.

“And the Pike family was never hungry again.”

That story was easy to read. I could read smoothly. That story was what a boy tried to help family to get money. But he met a pirate. I don’t write about the result of the story. Please read the book if you want to know about that. That content of story is like a movie, “Home Alone”. The boy in the story is clever. He did wonderful way to escape from the pirate. I can’t do like him even if I’m in the case.

I was interested in Elizabeth I, so I read this book. However, I knew nothing about her. It was good chance to know about detail of her. There were many things I didn’t know. I thought that she was ordinary queen, but that was wrong. She faced many hard scene. Also, I was surprised she was eager to study. She read many books, and she was very clever.

“There it has stayed, pouring out salt to this very day.”

Do you know the reason why the sea is salty? I knew this story, too. However, I didn’t know about the thief detail in the book.

In this book, a thief use and fall the millstone. That is interesting difference.

What I learned in 2013

I learned many things in 2013. Not only studying, I learned what I should do on schedule. There was lots of homework I had last year. That volume was too large, so I wanted to give up. I didn't do my homework in order. I always finished them just before the deadline, so I was irritated with such myself in spring term. I decided to write what I have to do on a paper. Then, I could have any time to spare. However, I was lazy sometimes when I wasn't motivated to study. I noticed that is a best way to write what I should do. When I finished what I have to do, I draw a red line on the list. That makes me refresh. Finishing my homework as much as I can is very important for me, so I tried to finish English Central, blogging, and power words. I finished English Central and power words soon. However, it is important to remember what I studied, I think.

I learned many things in classes. There were many things I didn't know. Especially, I enjoyed class of history of America. I didn't learn detail about it when I was a high school student. I had only images that America won wars and they had many weapons. However, there were other many complicated problem history in America. I thought that is not good to have only images. I should know real information about what I want to know. 

Reading class taught me how to read newspaper in English. I couldn't read news paper's headline last year. I somehow read them, but I didn't real meaning of them. I could have understood the headline's mean since I have taken the reading class. When I could now the real mean, I was happy. I think that class is useful. There were many problem on me in 2013. I want to recover myself next year.

My Favorite Thing

My favorite thing is Walkman. My parents bought the Walkman for me on my birthday. The color is red. I put about one hundred forty music into it. On the instruction manual, the Walkman can have about one thousand music. However, the Walkman is full when I put about one hundred fifty music into it. Therefore, I took over some music from the Walkman, and I made space to put in other music. If I can, I want to put all music I listen to. Usually, I use the Walkman in a train when I go to KGU and when I go home. That is one of my habits. If I forget the Walkman, I become disappointed. Sometimes, I think the sound volume is noisy or not for passengers, so I always listen to music with very small sound volume. My earphone is red, too. I’ll keep using the Walkman until it is broken.

My favorite actress is Milla Jovovich because she is a character which is in series of Bio Hazard. I like to watch movies. Especially, I like Bio Hazard 2. I watch all series in a theater.

If she stop taking the Bio Hazard and someone play the movies as a substitute for her, I won’t watch the movies. She is not just beautiful. She is cool. I didn’t know she was bullied, but she chose the way of actress. She is strong. I was charmed by her strength. Although I watched only series of Bio Hazard and The Three Musketeers, I like her.

Almost of them are horror and action movies. However, my favorite movies are “Titanic” and “The Poseidon Adventure”. I have watched them more than ten times. When I watched them for the first time, I was moved and cry. I thought that the content of “Titanic” is just sinking of a ship before I watched it. However, there are many love stories in the movie. Also, there are many kinds of love stories. The last scene of the movie was very exciting. I felt worry whether they can escape from the ship or not. Content of “The Poseidon Adventure” is like “Titanic”, but there are different kinds of human stories in the movie. The movie was remade, but I like better the movie than a movie which was remade.

My Favorite Application

My favorite application is “LINE” because I can talk like conversation in the application. We can make groups in it, and we can do conversation in the group. Therefore, we don’t need to forward a letter. The function is very useful for me. We use the function when we want to know about ranges of tests. Also, we can call free. It usually costs us to call friends or relatives. By the way, I have another my favorite application. The title is “Dead Trigger”. The application is a game. That kind is one of FPS, like Call of Duty which is a game of Playstation. The content is shooting zombies. I think there are people who don’t like horror and zombies. I don’t recommend this application to them. However, it is very

interesting. Maybe it is difficult to control. When I’m sleepy and have free time, I do this game. My brother plays, too.

I couldn’t understand the content of the book when I read it for the first time. It was hard for me to remember names of many people. I could understand all of the content when I read it again. There are stories of individual lives in the book. Then, each lives are connected with a trouble. The story is carried out like a domino. I want a movie director to make a movie of this book. If the movie were showed, I would go to a theater to watch the movie absolutely.

After that, I read it many times. When I was young, I didn’t know the book’s author. I knew that’s author is Ryunosuke Akutagawa when I was high school student. I studied about “Rashoumon” in high school. The story is long, but I wasn’t bored to read, and prepare for next class. He wrote about character’s feelings deeply, so it is fun to read it.

I heard that there is a good store selling delicious melon bread. However, I didn’t know the store where it is, and I couldn’t go to some places freely because we should do action in groups. I found the store by chance when we walked. I bought two them soon. When I got them, they were just baked. The melon breads are crushed when I just had them. Taste was very good!

Also, I like cluster amaryllis. The flower means “death” I think, but I like the flower. I think the flower is very beautiful, and the flower has beautiful red color and white color. My grandfather liked the flowers, too. But he passed away. Therefore, I recall him when I see the flower.

The day after Friday is holiday. It is easy for me to spend time on Friday. Sometimes, the biology class is canceled. When the class is canceled, I don’t have any classes on Friday. Therefore, I have three holidays in a week. That is very happy for me because we have to go to KGU on national holiday from this year. Therefore, we don’t have three straight holidays mainly, so I’m happy when the class is canceled.

I like eating them very much, so I have tried to make cream puffs and cakes. However, I haven’t succeeded in making them. For example, I tried to make dough of cream puffs. However, there were scorched things like rice crackers when I baked dough. I’m not good at cooking. There are four people of my family’s birthdays in four months, so I can eat cakes once in a month. That is very happy for me.

My Favorite Season

My favorite season is fall because it is comfortable to spend time. I feel good with blowing wind. It is very hot in summer, also it is very cold in winter. In fall, we have words which are related to fall in Japan. For example, there are words “fall of appetite”, “fall of sports”, and “fall of reading”, etc. We have individual fall. I like “fall of appetite” because almost food is delicious. I don’t like eating fishes, but I can eat saury in fall. Fat of saurys in fall are very delicious, but they have been more expensive than before. Therefore, it is difficult for us to buy them and eat them. However, we absolutely eat them at least once.

Few years ago, my parents bought a baby pillow of capybara for me. Therefore, I was very happy.

The price is about four hundred ninety nine yen. The meals from the set menu at the restaurant are quite. Meals I always order are almost same.

I worked from eight o’ clock to seventeen o’clock. I played with the children, but I don’t have enough energy to play with them for long time. The contents of the job look easy, but it is hard for me. Sometimes, they make quarrel, and I have to ask them why they had problem each other.

Good And Bad Points About Summer

In summer, we can go to somewhere we don’t go in winter. For example, we go to a sea, pools, and falls. Also, we can play with our friends in summer vacation. However, some people become sick when it is very hot. We can’t play or exercise for a long time because of the hot temperature. Students in Japan spend time in summer vacation which is long term, so we can do things we can’t do in school. Also, we can study and learn things we can’t learn in school. For example, I can study for TOEIC. In summer, ice cream is very delicious. I want to eat three ice creams every day.

BR 2-14: Volcanoes

Volcanoes may become disaster in the future. I learned many things about volcanoes from this book. And I knew volcanoes are fearful. Magma's temperature from volcanoes is about two thousand degrees. I can't believe this! That is too hot. I haven't see real magma. I saw picture of magma in the book, but I can't image that real magma's high degree. I was surprised with the way ancient people were killed by volcanoes. That was very cruel way. There is a picture how they were died in a volcano's disaster. Although volcanoes make land, they break land. I heard that Mt. Fuji will bomb. I don't know that is fact. If that is real, we have to know what we should do in the disaster.

BR 2-13: Egyptians

Egyptians have very long history from ancient era. I'm interested in ancient Egypt, so I read this book. I know little about ancient Egypt's culture, habit, and king. When I finished to read, I was moved of tomb of kings. There are many treasures in the tombs. They are very beautiful. I thought that is strange "eyes"are drawn in tombs. I want to know the reason and mean. It is hard to make a pyramid. Not only make figure of pyramid, they had to make mammy and decorate inside pyramid. Ancient Egyptians were loyal to their king, but there were people who didn't like their king. I want to know how they feel when they make their king's tomb. I was surprised that there are many Egyptian gods. I like an Egyptian god of sun. It is cool. Also, I'm interested in ancient Egyptian letters. The letters are called "hieroglyph". It looks pictures, but ancient Egyptians read and wrote the letters. That is mysterious.

Pictures in the book is wonderful. I read the book about three times because the dogs in the book are so cute. Dogs have their greeting. I learned many greetings of dog from the book. When is the dog angry, when is the dog happy? You can know from this book. Dogs give about six birth to baby. The number is larger than human. I imaged that all dogs are pet. However, that thinking is wrong. There are dogs which is had in warm house. On the other hand, there are dogs which live in very severe environment. Dogs have many interesting points. Please read this book if you are interested in this book.

2013 Years

Happy New Year :D  I wanted to write this article when two thousand thirteen years finished, but I was in Sasebo when two thousand fourteen years came. I couldn't write this article at that time. What do you think about 2013 years? I'll write about myself in 2013 and 2014 years.
-2013-
I am sophomore last year. What did I do last year? Not especially I didn't. Contents of classes told me a thing. That is finishing my thing to do as much as soon. Last year, many homework were given to me. I wasn't motivated at that time, so I couldn't do my homework on schedule. I had a homework, "English Central". That website is very useful, I think. The website include practicing pronunciation, remembering vocabulary, and making our listening skill well. I wanted to study English with it, but I wasn't motivated gradually. I was eager to my hobby, so I had priority to the hobby. That was not good. I knew, but I couldn't endure to do the hobbies in Spring term. I wanted to recover previous myself. On examinations, there were much worry in my heart because I didn't study as much as I was satisfied. Therefore, the result of them were not good. I was very shocked, and I felt really sorry about that. I couldn't do things to do first. I couldn't won myself in last year(2012). I had many reports. Sometimes, I wanted to cry because many home work's deadline were soon. I wanted "time" more. I wanted to make one day has twenty eight hours. That is impossible........

In summer vacation, I had a part time job which is caring of schoolchildren outside of school time. That was very hard for me. Children's strength were amazing. They were always moving. I played tag and soccer with them. That was very hard, but I enjoyed. Not only enjoy playing with them, I had to watch children not to do dangerous things. Sometimes, they quarreled. It was difficult to stop their quarrel. I had to ask the reason why they quarreled and let them say "I'm sorry". That work was most difficult. Other works were easy and I could enjoy. If you are interested in the part time job, I recommend you.

In fall term, I decided to finish my homework as soon as possible. I started doing English Central to earn eighty thousand points. At first, I didn't do that, so I had to get ninety thousand points. I tried not to regret like myself in spring term. I could finish it soon. I have other typing homework. I have to write fifteen paragraph about "my favorite". I like to write about it, but I didn't come up with idea, my favorite. What is my favorite? I thought again and again. I have to write two typing homework. Also, I have to write book review. If I don't do that, I can't get a unit. I'm upset now. I was going to finish my homework soon, but I couldn't...... That reason was clear. My will was weak.

Last year, myself was very bad. In order to recover myself, I have to focus what I have to do. Write lists what I should do, and finish the one of lists gradually.

My New Skill

Recently, I can wake up in time I thought I would wake up. For example, I woke up eight o'clock because I thought I would wake up eight o'clock. I don't need an alarm clock. However, I am nervous to wake up without an alarm clock, so I prepare it before I go to bed. Maybe, I think that my habit of loving become good. I sleep for about six hours everyday, so my body remember six hours, I think. I slept at four a.m. before, and I have woken up at six o'clock. That was very bad habit. I knew that, but I couldn't stop the habit. I learned that it is important to make distinction. I decided to make good habit in this term. Sleeping is wonderful! I could know importance of sleeping. My favorite sleeping style is sleeping with my dog. That is very comfortable in winter.
