Busy Monday

Yesterday, I was really busy. I had five classes. Actually, I had six classes on Monday, the class was canceled in the fifth period. However, I had a class in the sixth period, so I could not go home...

The first class was psychology. It is not my major, but I like it so much. Psychology is the study that we learn about human feeling by studying scientifically. I had not thought human's feeling can be understood by science, but now, I know we can do it in some of the case. It is so interesting.

The second period was American Literature. I watched the movie whose title was "The Great Gastby". I have read the book before. It was a sad story. It is a good story as a American literature, but Gatsby was too pure and poor. I prefer happy end story to it.

I had a Intercultural Communication Theory in the third period. It is important class for me, because how to communicate with foreign people is necessary skill when I go abroad. I learned about Culture shock at that time. We will face to it when we experience more cross culture. However, I know it is not bad effect. I want to overcome it, and adapt to life of Canada.

The fourth period was English linguistic. It is one of the most difficult subjects. However, I like it . It let me to notice what I have never thought. I learned semantics yesterday. The word have deep meanings so I will write this blog more seriously. I have to pick up the words that much with what I want to say.

The Last class is Japanese language teacher's seminar. I have taken the class since spring semester. I studied about phonetics. How difficult to understand Japanese language pronunciation!! Do I have to explain to the students?? I need more efforts.

Finally, I went to exchanged student dometory after school because the welcome party was held there. There were many people, and we could enjoy eating, talking, listening to music, and so on.
I could talked to many new friends. They have wonderful skills each of them. I want to know them more!!

Yesterday was busy day. However, I could enjoy at the party. I went home at ten o'clock, but in fact I wanted to stay there longer. Most of my friends stayed there more time and kept enjoying. Next time, I will enjoy more.

Let's study about our earth!! ~WE2-01~

How much knowledge about the earth do you have? There are many wonderful things on the earth, for example, countries, animals, archaeological creature, nature, and of course human beings! Most of people don't care that where they are, how they live, and so on. We have too less knowledge about the earth. I want to introduce this web site "National Geographic Kids". If you see this site, you can discover what you didn't know. There are many good points to learn in this web site.

First of all, you can check your geographic skill. You can know where the country is and many trivia about the country through the game. I recommend you one game, "Geo Spy". You many be know many countries name, but do you know where they are? You should click the right place of the country in this game. If you chose wrong place, this game give us the answer, so you can learn about it easily. Besides, this site has a lot of games. More games you try, more knowledge you can get. Besides, you can see many archaeological things on it. You will be moved by the wonderful landscape even if you are not interested in the history.

Second, you can watch many animals on this site for example, penguins, dolphins, lions, pandas and so on. Of course, there are many pictures, movies, games about animals. There are particular explanations. I moved because these wonderful animals live somewhere on the earth. I have never seem wild elephants, cheetah, and so on. Do you know that elephants sometimes hug by wrapping their trunks together as greeting and affection? Also, there are some animals I've never heard. If you like animals, I recommend this relatives site, here. And then, some of strange plants, like a Venus flytrap, are on it. I have heard about it but I didn't think it is a such interesting plants.

Third, you will know about many human beings and cultures, politics, history and so on. How do the foreign people live in daily life? And then, how do the other countries people think about Japan? You can know about both of them. Therefore, we can reconfirm our own country and learn other countries. It is important for me because even if you have many knowledge about others, it is no meaning when you don't know about yours. After that, you should check the other contries. Each contry has each good individualities. All of the people live hard.

You know, you can get many kind of knowledge in this site. There are many fantastic things on the earth. After I see this site, I try to care about the earth. Although the earth is the planet that I have live, I was too unconcern for it until now. We have to cherish our planet because many living things, are on it. Therefore, we should know about it more and find what we can do fir the earth. That is why I recommend to study about the earth.

"The last lecture"

This time, I want to introduce "The last lecture". I heard about this class through TV news. Many people look this class by You Tube. Actually, I was impressed by this teacher's story.

He is RandyPausch. He is a professor of Carnegie Mellon University. He taught his students computer science. However, he was pronounced on death by doctor. This last lecture is his last lecture. He assumed to know he would die. His life had been left only from three month to six month at that lecture. However, he had never make people feel sad. He never express his sadness. Now, he has been died.

He talked about how to realize own dreams through his life. When you hear the "lecture", you may feel boring. However, this lecture is fantastic!! I was given courage to face many difficulties. He always achieved his dream by himself. His talking teachnic was also great. I could laugh sometimes and I listened closely.

It is difficult to have your way. However, if we didn't anything, it would not come true. To challenge is so imprortant. Don't be afraid. Just do it. Maybe, he want to say such a thing. At first, I couldn't feel that his life was a little. He was pwerful, and his lecture was really fantastic. If you face big problem now, you should check this movie. You will be given some courage. His lecture was written on the book. Therefore, you can read it. That is long lecture a little bit, but it is worth to watch.

Babe~Pig in the City~ BR2-06

This time, I read "Babe ~ Pig in the City~. Of course, everyone knows Babe ~ the sheep pig~. This book is the second one. This is story after Babe became the true sheep pig. I have read the first one before, and I like it very much. That is the reason why I read this book.

Babe lived in the farm happily. He became a great sheep pig, and his friends are good for him. However, it didn't continue for a long time. Babe wasn't always carefully. One day, he went near the well with his muster. And than, Babe fell down into the well with his muster!! Babe fell on the Mr. Hoggett's head and Mr. Hoggett got hurts. He couldn't work for a while. His wife worked hard instead of him, but it was not enough. Two man who were banker came to the farm, and demanded the money that they borrowed in the past. They had to sell their important pig, Babe, for the farm. Mrs Hoggett, who was the wife of the farmer, made her mind to go to the city with Babe in order to save the pig.

The wife and Babe went to the city for the first time. They didn't know anything. They could take the plane, but when they through the gate, it was happened. The drug finder dog find the pig and he called the detectives. They misunderstood, and they thought the woman had the drug. You know, it was not true. They made released soon, but they couldn't ride the next plane. They had to stay the city for two days. They could fine the hotel where they could stay with. However, they made separated because of the animals that stayed in the hotel. The animals were frosty and mean. They told Babe that nobody helps him in the city. Babe was sad because he couldn't meet his muster and know what he should do.

Most of animals were not kind, but Babe was always kind to everyone. He helps the life of dogs which try to kill Babe, so every animals accept the pig. Babe wanted to meet his muster, so many animals try yo find her. There are many things happened, they finally find hotel Babe stayed at first. The party held at that time, but the many animals entered the party. Every people confused and panicked. They try to catch Babe, so Mrs Hoggett couldn't see her pig. Babe also tried to run toward the Boss's wife. Finally they could meet again.As the result, the animals that stayed at the hotel moved to the farm, and the farmer could repayed their money.

Babe was still kind and friendly pig. He always think about the other persons at first. If it was dangerous, he could faced it. He had never run away. That is why Babe has been loved by many people, I think. To do somethings for other people is not easy, but we should try it. The small things is OK. When it is collected many, it become the big power.
