I have soooo bad condition...
In this semester, I took ten subjects. There are some English class, such as business English, Mass Media English, Honor's seminer English. I will go to Canada to study, so I have to be using to speaking these words. I chose the some classes whose teacher is native speaker, so I hope my listening skill is improved, The class that I especially like is translation class. I have not translate, and don't know about it well. However, translation is one of general job for our department. This is why I took this class. This week, I have a assginment in this class, but it was the first translation for me. It wasn't easy, but I could really enjoy it during the class.
This semester is not easy for me, because I have to improve my skill until I go to Canada. I have not enough. I will do my best!!

Exchange students also wore Hakama and Kimono. and they looked cool!
After that, I went alumnae meeting, Junior high school's, and see many old friends. Some of them lived in other city, so we can't see them so often. However, I was confused whether I go or not at the first time, because I had been to that school for only one year. I thought most of people didn't know me. But a few people who I know recommend to go there, so I made my mind. It was right decision!! I had a great time there. Of course there were many people who I didn't know, but they became my new friends!! I ate, drunk and chatted a lot.

I took them at dometory, and went my house by train. One of exchange student rode train for the first time in Japan. I taought how to buy the ticket, and got on the train. After we arrived my home, we went supermarcket near my house, and bought some foods for dinner. My mother already had cookced some food, but they cooked food that was tradition in thier country. There were many foods on the table, and we could enjoyed many kinds of countrys' food. They were delicious!!
After that, we watched TV, Kouhaku, and enjoyed Japanese songs. They knew some Japanese singer, and liked them. Before the midnight, we ate toshikoshi-soba. Other counrty doesn't have this culture. It is only Japanese habits!! They were interested in the soba, and we stay together at night and did count down!!
In New Years day, we ate Osechi, and watched TV. I explained some foods, and they liked them. After that, we went to Youme-town and bought some Good Luck Bag. There were many good clothes. We sutisfyed and went dometory.

Learning Many Things
First, I often use it for my studies. When I write a report, I use Microsoft Word. I have many report every weekend, so I have to it as early as possible. Typing in the computer is faster than when I write on my hands. What's more, I can correct my writing easily if I use the computer. In the case of hand writing, I have to erase my sentences and I have to write same things again. It is waste of time. I can say writing reports with Word is efficient. I use the computer not only when I write reports. I make my blog. It is one of my school assignments in order to improve my writing English skill. Now, I can write English without hesitation. Therefore, I want to say I use the computer for my studies. I learned how to use well Word, and make blog. I mean I can study effectively with using the computer.
Second, I use it for research. I have to research in order to write a good reports. I use the Internet when I research somethings. It is so useful that I research what I don't know. I can get many information with it easily and the information will be much enough to write a report. This is the reason why I use the Internet when I research somethings. However, there are too much information. Some of them is not true. We have to be careful to get information with the Internet. It is not good for you that you use the information without knowing whether it is true or not. You have to judge you can believe it or not. Therefor I can say, the Internet is so useful to get information what you don't know, but you have to judge whether you can say that is true, or not.
Third, I use it for my entertainments. I like to use Facebook. Do you know Facebook? It is social network service site made in America. It is used also in Japan since May, 2008. I can connect with the people who live in other countries. I have many friends such as American, Canadian, British, Sweden, and so on, on the Facebook. I can chat with them, send e-mail join the community. I often upload my photos and share with them. I communicate with many people in English, so it is good training for me. I can learn English with enjoying when I use Facebook with computer.
Fourth, there are many useful applications in the computer. I can practice my typing with Justhome, it is one of software. The practice is a kind of game, so I am not tired of it. I use it and improve my typing speed. After I am used to typing in English, I often use Power Words. It is the game to increase my vocabulary. I is separated by level, so I can start appropriate level. I can check the words that I couldn't answer because records are input in the computer. I can memorised the words smoothly. I mean I can train my typing and vocabulary skill with computer.
Finally, I often spend my free time with computer. I look for interesting video by You-Tube, listen to music, and so on. Sometimes, I learn how to use Excel with the computer because it is basic tool in the computer. I will use it in the future.
You have already know, the computer is so useful. It is connected with our daily life. We have to know how to use it, and know good way to use. It is sometime difficult to use, but there are many good points to learn with the comoputer. Using the computer, we can work effectively, get many informations, enjoy keping touch with oversea's friends, practice typing, and learn about basic skill about computer. It is nessesary to be able to use computer in the future, so it is good idea to be used to using the computer since now. We can learn many things through the computer. For this reason, I learn with the computer.

Christmas will come soon
First, Chrismas Red is color of apples. Christmas is Christ's birthday. When Christ was born, many apples ripened. That is the reason why red is one of Christmas color. Holly fruits is also origin of Christmas Red. Second, Christmas Green is color of the fir tree. Fir tree is regarded as tree of hope and has been cherished by people for a long time. It means color of the fir tree is special color for the people. Finally, Christmas White is color of snow. Of course everyone know it!!
However, Christmas color is not only three. We musn't forget one more clor, gold!! Everyone decolate a gold star on the top of the tree, right? That's why gold is also important color for the ancient people. Gold is the color of star , "Betsurehem", that appeared when Christ was born. The star is simble of nobleness, importance, and so on.
Therefore, I have to correct my saying. Christmas colors are red, green, white, and gold!! I could know about Christms more than before. And, I made the Christmas Arrengement. Of course, I used Chistmas colors!

"Yes" or "No"
In the movie, there is an important line, “Do you want to win the war, or not?” The Assistant to the President said that winning the war is the real righteousness. However it isn’t true because not all problems are solved through winning. The defected nation will be regarded as an evil country. Economic sanctions will be a serious problem. What’s worse, many people will die. Even if they win the war, the world will not be at peace. It means winning is not right. On the other hand, there is no meaning that all of the problems are solved when they withdraw from the war. America will lose trust and be able to only bow before the authority of Iraq insurgents. Although the war already has continued for a long time, it will be a hopeless war if any issues will be not solved.
What we hope is not winning or losing. We can’t answer clearly, “Yes” or “No”. The student named Ted wavered whether he should do something to change the world or not. Actually we will never make mistakes when we do nothing. However, is it right? No one can judge it. We can’t choose both Yes and No. That’s why the war doesn’t finish. People should be interested in it more, and face this serious problem.

About Halifax
At first, I have to explain Canada because Halifax is in Canada, you know. The capital in Canada is Ottawa. Canada has many big cities. The biggest city is Toronto. The area is more than 9 million square km It is thirty times larger than Japan’s area. However, population is not so much. I is about 32 million because it is too cold to live northern place. In Toronto, there are one-sixth people live. The geology of Canada is interesting. Canada occupies the half of north in the New Continent. There are United States in South and West side of Canada. In the east side, there is Atlantic Ocean. Besides, there is Arctic Ocean in the north.
Canada has constitutional monarchy and federation is held under the parliamentary. The national chief of state is Queen Elizabeth II, but substantial prime minister is chosen as election. Actually, he does Canadian politics. I already said, Canada is so large country, so each states are given autonomy We can say Canadian government is municipality vs federation.
Canadian people speak English and French as official languages. It is set in 1982.
In Quebec, Ontario, New Brunswick states, they speak French. . Many races people live in Canada. English is 28%, French is 23%, the other Europeans 15%. Besides, there are many Asians, Arabs, Africans, and so on.And what important is Canada has chosen as the country which give good effect to all over the world. I mean Canada is friendly country and many people love Canada.
Next, I will talk about Canadian Culture. Canada don’t have their own culture, but the culture is interesting. It was made by mixing many cultures. I said many races people live in Canada. That’s why Canadian culture is fusion of various cultures. I have to introduce important literature. It is Anne of Green GablesJapanese title is 赤毛のアン.
Do you know it? It is so famous all over the world. Canada is stage of it.
Well, Canada has many heritage there are five cultural heritages and six natural heritages. Besides, two heritages are shared with the United States. I list the heritages, so please check them on your print.
Then, I want to talk about Halifax. Halifax is state capital in Novascoacia State. It was set on April 1st 1996 as Halifax Regional Municipality. Halifax’s Motto is Wealth from the sea. Yes, Halifax is port city. It is not big, but there are many nature and beautiful sea. However, there is so cold place. The temperature has amount to
Halifax is famous for Victim of Titanic, .Maritime Museum of the Atlantic, Halifax Citadel National Historic Site, and Saint Mary’s University. I want to introduce a few things.
First Saint Mary’s university is so great university. There are many students from all over the world. 14.4% students are exchange students. The area is not so large compare with other university in Canada, but there are many useful systems in the university. For example, we can go to the gym through the tonal without going gout side from dormitory. Even if it is winter, we don’t need pass outside. Modern equipments are used in this university.
And then, I want to introduce Halifax Citadel National Historic Site. Halifax is one of the first city that English people arrived in 1749. After that, England and French fought to get the religion. This place was important place for the English-French war.
I mean this is so important structure in these days. It is one of traditional things in Halifax. People can’t build the building that is higher than Citadel. That show many people save the structure.
Most of people don't know about Halifax. I want to interested in there because Halifax is so good city. There are many historical things and mordan structure stay there together. I am glad to be able to study there. It is not easy, I know, but I want to enjoy there!!

About Iraq War ~MR~

I want to explain about the story. First, there were three situations. One is in the presidential aide's room. Presidential aide and a woman who was a journalist are talked about new policy of the war. Presidential aide said it is important for America to win. She had some doubts to him, so continued the interview. Next is field in Afghanistan. Two students go there and fight in the dangerous place. They had big dream and tried the country. However, they couldn't achieve it, because they were killed by the enemy. Third situation was professor's office. The professor , who was the teacher of two student fighting in other place, called his lazy bt clever students and talked to him how to live.
After watching this movie, we have to think wether what is right or not. It was really difficult and serious. People always feel fear because of terror. I think we don't have to turn away the big problems. I hope the terrible war finish as soon as possible.
