BR 2-14:---☆★GALILEO GALILEI★☆---

2010-01-12T20:43:00.007+09:00

When I watched TV the other day, it was broadcast about Galileo Galilei, and this book was chosen because I had had the concern then. Moreover, because I had wanted to know, I thought a terrible old person to be a good chance more than now.

Galileo Galilei was an astronomer and physicist who lived in Italy in the 16th century. He was the first person to use a telescope powerful enough to see many of the planets and stars, and he discovered a lot of important facts about astronomy. Galileo is sometimes called the father of modern science, because he was one of the first people to carry out experiments and to use observation to find out about the world around him. Galileo was born in 1564. After finishing school, he studied medicine at the University of Pisa. However he left after four years to become a meth mastics teacher.

In 1589, Galileo returned to University of Pisa to be a professor of mathematics. Then, in 1592, he moved to the University of Padua and worked there fore the next eighteen years. Throughout this time, Galileo studied astronomy and did a lot of scientific experiments.

Galileo was one of the first scientists to use observation that is, to watch something and see what happens. For almost a thousand years, most scientists had been using the ideas of earlier scientists without question. These scientists usually tried to make whatever they saw fit into those old ideas. By using observation and doing his own experiments, Galileo made a lot of important discoveries in both astronomy and opysics. (294 words)

BR 2-13:---☆★Dogs at Work★☆---

2010-01-12T20:41:00.003+09:00

I am fond of a lot of dogs very much. I love various dogs from a small dog to the large dog. Therefore I keep small dog's Chihuahua and large dog's Labrador now. Both Chihuahua and Labrador are very cute for me. Moreover I would like to know a lot of dogs about everything, so I selected this book at KGU library. I am going to introduce about this book’s content from now on.

I heard that dogs are often called “people’s best friends”. They make good pets because they are loyal, playful and intelligent. There are different breeds of dogs to suit different people/ Some people like small dogs, while other people like large dogs. Some people like dogs with a lot of energy, while other people like quiet dogs. I know the mind very much.

Guide dogs help people who have major sight problem to move around safely. They help these people become more independent and less reliant on other people. The most common breeds of dogs that are used as guide dogs are Labradors and Golden Retrivers. This is because they are calm, loyal and intelligent.

Hospital dogs are dogs that are companions for people who are in hospital or in homes for the elderly. These people do not always get visitors, or sometimes the visitors they do get cannot come everyday. The company of a dog gives these people something to look forward to. Some hospital dogs live in the hospital or home, while others are taken there for regular visits, The dogs may form an attachment with a patient, or with two or three patients.

A lot of different types of dogs are trained as hospital dogs. They are given practice in an environment full of people and noises. The dogs that work best in this environment then start work as hospital dog. I knew the things for the first time, I respected a lot of wise dogs. Dogs are good and nice animals!!!! (389 words)

BR 2-12: ---☆★Life In The AMAZON JUNGLE★☆---

2010-01-12T13:24:00.005+09:00

I would like to learn about Amazon jungle so I selected this book. Moreover I am interested in a lot of animals very much. I am going to talk about what I studied from this book from now on.

It is home to more different species of plants and animals than any other place on Earth over four thousand kinds of trees, three million kinds of insects, five hundred species of mammals, and at least one-third of the world's birds.
Every year scientists discover hundreds of new plants and animals in the Amazon Jungle. No wonder scientists call the Amazon Jungle an amazing treasure trove. I have not known the thing yet.
The Amazon jungle is a tropical rainforest. The temperature stays between twenty and thirty all year round. It rains a lot in tropical rainforests, too. Tropical rainforests all have a huge number of different plants and animals living close together.
The Amazon Jungle changes from the treetops down to the ground. This is because there are four main layers in a tropical rainforest. The trees are so thick at the top of the rainforests that they form a kind of roof, or canopy.

I learned a lot of things by reading this book. There were many things which I had not known things, however I thought that I was glad to learn it now. I want to recommend this book wanting know the jungle in Amazon by all means. (273 words)

Second, I’m going to talk about my own language learning until now from now on. I have studied some languages since I was a elementary school student. My mother have been a instructor of her own cram school for about fifteen years, so I learned English from early childhood from my mother. To begin with, whether I like it or not, I learned English almost every day. However I turned to like studying English by little and little. In order that I become accustomed to English words as fast as possible, my mother used English every day in my house. For example, when my mother caution me that she want I to take in a bath right away, my mother said to me that “take in a bath at once” and so on. I think the thing now, I’m oblige to my mother for using English almost every day. If I had some my children in the future, I might talk to them in English like my mother now and then. When I was a junior high school student, to study English and using English were very interesting for me more and more. When I became second years student, I was selected as a representative of the speech contest in English. When I was chose the delegate, I was very surprised, in addition, I became very happy feeling.

Therefore I thought that I would like to take business which is related to English in the future, so I majored in Britain and America department in KGU. Moreover I studied not only English but also German when I was a freshman. I felt that to study German and English is by no means easy, however I became to like studying ones very much.

At present, I learned chiefly English and try to study one. In addition, now I’m keeping in mind German and Korean diligently. And in order to be able to use German and Korean as fast as possible, I try to listen these languages on TV and radio. Moreover I work hand to memorize these grammars, words, and so on. Recently, a lot of foreign language’s lecture is broadcasting on TV. For example, Russian, Spanish, German, French, and so on. When I study some foreign language, I make the most of the lectures because the lectures are very intelligible explanation and to learn the lectures from on TV is interesting for me. In addition, the TV starts about eleven o'clock at two channel. If you have a free time someday, why don't you watch the TV?From now onward, I would like to contrive how to study some language more and more.

To learn a lot of foreign language is by no means easy, however I think that we ought to acquire it because we educate some countries language and we have to communicate with a lot of foreigners. And I would like to convey our own culture and foreigners’ culture each other. Accordingly, I determined to try to study language more and more.

2009-12-15T09:26:00.003+09:00

I am fond of a lot of animals very much. Therefore I selected this African animal’s book. I am going to introduce you the things what I learned from this book.
The African grasslands are cloth to the equator, where it’s hot all year. A lot of kinds of plants and animals live in the African grasslands. Food links all living things in this habitat, and together all these links make up a food chain.
Various animals need food for their energy, however the animals are not able to make their own food. Animals get their food from plants or from other animals that eat plants. So animals which live in Africa are called consumers.
Many plant-eating animals have body parts that help them get food. The giraffe uses its long neck to reach the high leaves of the acacia trees. Other animals cannot reach this high.
Elephants are huge animals and need lots of food. They have long trunks that are good for reaching and grabbing food. They also have teeth and strong jaws that are good for crushing plants. They eat grass, flowers, leaves, and bark.
Predators are the third link in the food chain. They are called secondary consumers because they get their food from eating other animals.
Lions prey on animals that are not as fast as them, like wildebeest, zebras and antelopes. They have pointed teeth to grip and tear their prey.
Because I read this book, I could learn a lot of things which I have not ever known things. So I recommend everyone who know about various animals. (273 words)

After I read this book, I think that to help other people and around person is very important for everyone. Moreover I thought that how matter when I am tired, I ought to help around people every time. I am going to introduce you about this book’s story from now on.

I think that we always do unpaid work. Unpaid work is work that people do without getting paid for it. Everybody does these unpaid works. For example, there are to iron clothes, cleaning the kitchen and so on.
Communities could not operate if people did not do unpaid work. A lot of needy people would not get help. This is because communities cannot afford to pay people to do all the jobs that are needed. Even a household could not operate if people did not unpaid work-like vacuuming the carpet.
Home duties are unpaid jobs that are done at own home. Home duties also involve tasks like cleaning the house, washing the car and mowing the lawn. Some households pay someone to do these tasks for them. However, in most households, people do not have enough money to pay other people to do their home duties.
Moreover there are also various volunteers in unpaid work. Volunteers are people who do a job for the satisfaction of helping others. Volunteers do many different types of jobs. Some volunteers read books onto tapes so that people with poor eyesight are able to listen. Some volunteers deliver meals to elder or sick people. Some volunteers help tourists who visit a city during a major event. Volunteers help whenever a community is hit by natural disaster. Volunteers assist in putting out bush fires. They might also help to evacuate people from areas that have been flooded or hit by an earthquake or tunami. Some communities require volunteers more than others. Communities that do not have much money require a great deal of help from volunteers.
Communities with a large number of elderly people might require more help from volunteers than communities with more young people.
Without volunteers, some communities could not operate. (357 words)

Don’t you think that it is essential for us to wear various clothes!? I think really that a lot of clothes are very important for me. Therefore I selected this book because I would like to learn about the clothes and these clothes’ culture. I am going to introduce this book’s content and speak my opinions about its substance from now on.

Today, various clothes are made in a lot of different clothes and styles. They are also made from lots of different materials. Most people own a lot of clothes. Each day, they choose what to wear, I think that to select our own clothes is one of my pleasure for me. Clothes have some functions for our health. These functions are cover our bodies and protect us from the weather, and so on. They are able to also make us feel good about the way that we look. Sometimes, our clothes tell other people something about us, such as the work we do. Moreover they may also tell other people what religion we are. For instance, turban stands for the people who belongs to Islam and are Indian, and so on.
People have been wearing some clothes for many thousands of years, however you know that the clothes which people wore long times ago were different from the clothes which we were today. By the way, clothes worn in France in the eighteenth century.
There were no clothes shops, factories or farms in the primitive age, so people made clothes from animal skins, which helped to keep them warm and protect them from scratches and insect bits.
Today, few people make their own fabrics or clothes. Clothes are made from natural and synthetic materials.
Fashion means the kinds of clothes that are popular at one time. Today, fashion is still
changing step by step. I think that we ought to enjoy selecting and wearing various
clothes every time. (334 words)

Over the last one hundred years, the Earth’s temperature went up about one degree by German physicist. In the next one hundred years, it may go up by as much as six degrees. I know that there temperature rises are able to make big changes to the Earth’s environment. It can make the weather more extreme. That means that that there could be a lot of hot, dry weather, followed by heavy rain and storms. Moreover it could also kill a lot of plants and animals.
I heard from this book that many scientists believe these environmental changes come from greenhouse gases which are mostly made by humans. By the way, the greenhouse gases are made when people burn fuel for energy.

After I read this book, I thought that we ought to take action not to develop global warming, make greenhouse gases and so on. For that reason, I thought I should be careful these things from now on. The things are to save on lights, nature and water and whenever people drive our own cars, we are using energy that comes from oil, so I try not to use a car when I go until nearly. I determined to decrease burden of the Earth and cut corners water, resources and so on then. I learned a lot of important things from this book’s content. ( 289 words)

There are over three thousand big sheep there, moreover a lot of people help with the sheep’s work. The number of these people is about fifty people working. When I knew that thing, I was very surprised because I didn’t think that what about fifty people exist there until I read this book. Some dogs on the sheep houses have a lot of work to help the farmers get all the sheep together, too. According to this book, this is called mustering.

The shearers shear the sheep inside the shearing shed. It is very hard work, however a good shearer is able to shear two hundred sheep in a day. When I knew the thing, I was unbelievable. By the way, first they always check the wool to see if it is clean. Then they put the wool into a big sack. At large, it is called a bale. That’s news to me.

---☆★Liro And Stitch（part 2)★☆---

2009-07-01T10:26:00.004+09:00

I watched the DVD whose title is “Liro And Stitch” the other day. I will introduce you the “Liro And Stitch” DVD’s story from now on. And I will talk about my feeling. When I watched this movie, I learned various things.

First of all, I will introduce you about “Liro And Stitch” DVD’s story. Girl Lillo who lived in Hawaiian Kauai Island lost parents, and Lilo lived with her older sister Nani. What decided to keep a dog for Lilo without the friend, however Lilo selected Stitch which was trial product number 626 by the gene experiment of the Dr. jumper not a dog. Although Stitch that it was made destruction as a purpose by the gene experiment of the Dr. jumper, Stitch became Lilo’s family, in other words, “Ohana”, Lilo taught consideration and gentleness and Stitch was happy and lived as "a good child" in Hawaii. However, because when I made Stitch for trial product 626, a Dr. jumper was taken by Milky Way Federales, and molecule energy of Stitch was not supplied well, Stitch caused a internal circuit accident and turns back to "a bad child" going on the rampage. What could save Stitch had only Lilo, David, a jumper, love and the courage of "Ohana" all the members. Ultimately owing to everything of being around Stitch, Stitch came back "a good child" without hindrance.

Second I will talk about my feeling in my real life from now on. I thought that even if there is not Stitch with a true Liro family, Stitch is able to live with Liro family, everyone trusts each other and they lead a nice life over help together such as real family. Therefore Stitch was admitted to be one of Liro’s family members and Stitch could become “Ohana”.

Next, I thought that it’s important for everyone to keep various Hawaiian cultures in this DVD. For example everyone gather one place, they dance each other merrily and they see dancing over eat dinner outside at night.

In my real life, we, that is to say, Japanese cherish various Japanese cultures, too. For instance, enka, in other words, sad and melancholic, tea ceremony, sumo, the Bon dancing and so on. I felt we ought to continue trying to remember to treasure our own a lot of cultures.

I watched this DVD about “Liro And Stitch”, I felt that my family and my friends are very precious for me. I learned a lot of things from this DVD. I reconfirmed that what we have consideration for everything and everyone is important thing. (430 words)

---☆★The Bookstore Ghost★☆---

2009-06-21T23:16:00.005+09:00

I thought that this book’s illustration is very pretty and I seemed funny story when I found this book at a glance. I will introduce you this book’s story from now on.
First of all, if I explained about this story without any trouble, I would say that there was an old man. The old man opens his ghost book shop, because he likes some ghost. However some mice are scaring away the customers. He tells a black cat of his pet to catch the mice, but the cat has other plans. After all, a ghost bookstore get in good with a lot of customers.

What’s more, I introduce this book’s story from now on.
There was an old man who liked reading the ghost books, eating a lot of cheese and keep cats. The old man always tried to do that he thought it. Especially he liked the three things. First of all he did his best to will buy a bookstore. He sold only ghost books.
Next he thought that it was important for him to need a friend who he get a cat then. So he bought a black cat.
The man and his pet’s black cat ate cheese for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
They lived above the bookstore. However there were some mice in their house, too.
Although one day a woman came in the bookstore to buy a book, she found some mice, screamed and she run away of the store. Since the day, nobody would like to come to the store. At that, the man told his cat to catch the mice. On the contrary, the cat liked mice so the cat and the mice played together. When he looked the situation, he hated it and he thought that someday he will have to close this bookstore down. Therefore he gave three days to catch the mice.
As a result, owing to the black cat and mice, his store was busier than before. And he likes not only his cat but also some mice, because he knew the things.

After I read this book, I thought that this book’s story concludes happily. I felt a man’s cat is clever then. And some mice are also wise. But however wise they are, I don’t like a cat and some mice. (385 words)

His father helped George to put on his arm bands. The father planned him to get accustomed to water as quickly as possible. For instance, the father taught him to stand in the shallow water, jump up and down walk backwards and forwards, and so on. Next the father taught to kick with long, straight legs as hard as George could. His father showed Geroge how to put his face underwater. That is to say, father taught to take a deep breath and duck. George learnt to push and glide on his front. He held onto a float and stood by the side of the pool. Then he pushed off with his feet and glided though the water. The boy practiced a lot of things. For example, he pushed off from the side on his back, and so on.

Each time George went to the pool, he practiced his new skills. And Gerorge tried to paddle without any arm bands. Soon he was able to use his arms to pool through the water. In the end, George tried hard and soon he could swim across the pool side without using the float.
