I thought when you write own blog you should keep deadline of home works. Because we got many home works from every class, and each of them were very hard to do easy. So you make plan to do them. Especially, when you write essay or mega essay please careful of deadline and words count.

Next you have to include some photos and links. This way made your blog good and easier to read. When you go out or travel somewhere take picture with your sell phone. So if you use sell phone's camera you could search topics easier.

Third step was checking teacher's blog. It was Writing studio blog. It has very important information or attention. If you forget to see this blog you could not do important home works and could not keep deadline. So you have to check before class was started every time and reflect to develop own blog.

Learning with Computers

2007-12-12T11:04:00.000+09:00

I think learning computer is the most important thing in these days. When I gave homework from school most of them are using computer. So we geve oppotunity to learning computer since I was junior high school student. In these days computer are developing very quickly with high technology. I guess the super computers more clever than human brain someday. And the oppocunity of using them increase much more. [69]

TV essay

2007-12-11T09:25:00.000+09:00

Introduction
In these days we are facing at TV every time. It is good amusement item. This history was very long. In nineteen’s the Olympic was held in Tokyo. In this year TV were very increased to watch that in own house. TV was much expensive thing for people who were in nineteen’s. So they didn’t have own one in their house. Then they went to one house to watch TV. In first TV was not cleanly and big bottom to change TV channel. But it has been clearer and compacter more and more. Then it has also remote control. It is developing now.
By the way I want to write about TV’s part with their place.
Body
At house
The first place is at house. In these days the most of people have one TV as one house or some of them two or three TVs in one house. Besides one room has one TV. The part of TV in house is amusement for family. For example we will eat supper at living room, maybe a lot of family watch TV program. I think the panel game show will good communication item. Among own family try to answer that quiz together. So I think their conversation will be increase.
At school
The second place is at school. It case is very popular to use TV for study. In these days there are schools to use DVD or video. When I was elementary school student there were one TV as one class and other special class. We watched video or TV program many times. In junior high school using way was changed. We watched English video with TV. Because of that video was special one. So we can experience special time.
At hospital
The third place is in hospital. This item means not only in hospital also saloon or waiting room. When I had gone to driving school we could watch TV at front desk or at lounge. In these days we can look TV every where. The reason why that TV is increase I guess we can not spend free time usefully and we want to catch right news every where and every when. It case is good tendency. But I think we will be a person who can not speak with other people.
By cell phone
The fourth place is by cell phone. This way is very new one. In these days we have one cell phone as one person. And new call phone has function of watching TV by own cell phone. It is similar to former item. We tend to watch TV program and catch new news. If you want to watch TV by cell phone you would have to think of manner in public rule.
By car navigation
The last place is by car navigation. This way is also similar to former’s item. In these days we watch TV in the car by using car navigation. I often see the car which turns on a TV in the car. I think this is very dangerous. We have to concentrate on driving. The reason why I thought I am

beginner of driving. So I never turn on TV in the car.

Conclusion
I think watching TV is very good amusement and relax way. But I think also much watching is not good way. Because of if you always TV in all day and night long we can not talk with other people I feared. For one person talking and meeting with other rare person is the best way to amuse and relax.

My community life

2007-11-14T11:28:00.001+09:00

Community life

Introduction

The fourth essay's title is Community life. This theme is very abstract and difficult. So I thought about that, then I came accoss three contents.

Classmate...The first contents is Classmates and me. I have a lot of classmates in my class. I always studying and talking and eating lunch with them. We call about ourselves "flecam member". Because of we met in fleshman camp in the first grade. So we could make friends each other. We hold in each bitrhday party every time. And we like eating and drinking. In these day we went to dinner in downtown of Kumamoto. In this summer vacation, some of flecam member have been to America to take part in the home stay program. Especially in case of me, missing for friends and Japan very much. Then I sent e-mail everyday with Zen. She is frecam member. And we got back to Japan, some of them that stayed in Japan held in welcome back party. I felt it is very greatful thing for me and all people to connect with friends.

Family...The second contents is Family and me. I have no brother and sister. So I have three family members. My mother stays at home and she has a lot of hobbies. For example now she likes drawing picture with postcard and send her friends. For this hobby she always search a interesting material. My father lives in Tokyo by himself for work. He got back once every month. He always gave for us a the story which he has met famouse people in Tokyo as souvenir. For me, this experience was always surprised very much. Then my parents are very worrier about me. Of cource I understand their kindness, but I want more trust me.

Work place... I work in backery in shopping mall near my house. I have worked there for two years. Four cashers work in this backery. The longest worker is very speedy and efficient. Then she is very funny.When I worried about backery system she helped me. Second longer worker is me. The third longer worker got married and she has two children. But she can not look the age. She look like middle twenties. So she has been experienced a lot of jobs. And her phrase and action are very kind. I have not been met long time with her, I respect her very much. Some time a comsumer complain. I don 't like this time and I want to parry it well. Like this experience also only work place one. This work place is taught me a lot of important things.

My summer time

2007-07-06T19:51:00.000+09:00

This summer, I am very international; because of I am going to abroad. My destination is Minnesota in the USA. This time is my first time to go foreign country.

Minnesota is lies to the North of USA. It is near by Canada. So I think temperatures there are not so hot. But I researched about that with computer and asked my host family. There has hot day usually. I think that I have to prepare cold wears, but don't have to bring them. And I often send g-mail with my host family each other. They are very kind and get accustomed to invent to overseas student. They invented them twice before. This is encouraging me. Then my host families are very active! They invented me to go lake, hiking, Dog Park and so on.

There is dog and cat in them house. I don't have pet in my house. So I want to get along with them. My host families said 「Reji (that is their dog's name) is very big! So you will surprise!」 This is very exited me. They send me some pictures with g-mail. Of course host families’ pictures I look. And I look Reji's face in the picture. He is very hairy black hair! And look like big! But in the g-mail, 「Reji is bigger than corgi.」 ...Corgi is not so big in Japan. I think Reji is smaller than I think.

I am looking forward to meeting them. I found that the day I will go there is very soon. <259>

There is many private room in there. Most of all look like a maze. Building itself is very strange outside. In entrance, we entered with go through gate of look like a tunnel. Then we climb up big stair. Where is very popular, so when we you go there must reserve.
The room which I was guided is very good mood! Because light is black light and white color brighten vividly. And order system is also peculiar. To call to restaurant staff, and ask them. After a while, staff bring dish for our room.

Menu system is not free food or drink. So we have to select what we want to eat. I ordered "Mentaiko egg roll" and fried chicken. Former is very delicious and latter is hearty dish.
Drink has many menu. non-alcohol drink "red ~" which I ordered. This is beautiful color and delicious.

Next my recommendate restaurant is J cafe. Where is in entrance of Shimotori.
We get down to the basement. The cafe is a dime room and modern music sound. There are sofa, counter and kotatsu seats. Lunch menu is very reasonable price, and many drink also delicious!!
I recommended two restaurant and cafe in this time. Both of them, very good!

Welcom to the deep blue

2007-06-13T14:56:00.000+09:00

I introduce this movie. The name is Deep Blue. I was recommended it by my mother. This film is not drama. Genre is documentary. Main scene is sea. The sea has many creatures.

I don't like watch movies very. So I don't watch famous movies still now. For example 「TITANIC」、「PIRATES OF CARIBBEAN」　and so on. This movie is not so famous. But I think it is best movie.

Stories took in this film, dolphin and whale which draw a bead on a shoal of sardines. And many sea birds took an offensive and defensive battle. I was inpressed the scene. that is a child of sea lion which was attacked by killer whale. The killer whale is very ferocious. And I was surprised at creatures in the deep sea. There are deep-sea fishes, strange luminous body things. the cuttlefish or shellfish.

And we can see a lot of crabs on the sea beach. In lay eggs time, many crabs ride on the land. Then, the best part is penguin. They shoot to the surface on the sea. It look like bird. Really, penguins jumping.

I like aquqrium. I have been to Kaiyukan in Osaka for many times. There is very big water tank and big two sharks. And I went to Churaumi aquarium in Okinawa for 3 years ago. There is built in good place near the sea. In April, I went to Umino nakamichi in Fukuoka.

So I recommed it very much. Please watch it once! 　＜253＞

My favorite season

2007-06-13T10:59:00.000+09:00

I like spring. Because I like cherry blossoms. In spring, and first grade, we are Japanese always looking cherry blossoms with special lunch box, tea and some dessert. A Japanese cherry blossom is very beautiful and gorgeous. And temperature is so good. Not hot, and not cold. Second, I like summer, too. Kumamoto’s summer is very very hot. But summer has many interesting thing. For example, go to sea. I bought swim suits in last summer. It is so cute. But I wear it at once, so I want to go to sea or pool many times in this summer. Then I like Japanese summer festival. In there, Hanabi and many food shop in road. I wear Yukata. This event is excited me. But I don’t like rainy days. In this rainy season, so less rainy compare every that. So I am afraid less water <145>.
