BR 1-11: Starfish

I read "Starfish". Recently temperature is very hot, it is remember me summer, and I want to go to sea. I like small fishes and starfish, so I choose this book.
In this book, there are various starfish's pictures. Some one is purple, and some are pink color. Some one live deep down in the sea, but some one live in pools by the sea, and they are various shapes. So starfish is many kinds. It is very interesting!!
They have changed their body and habit for live anywhere, so they have various kinds. I was surprised that some of them eat mussels and oysters and clams! These are very hard. I like sea animal’s mysterious things like this.

About my keitai_week11

I use iPhone4. My iPhone4 is covered pink cover. I have used it since last December, maybe. I have about eighty applications. My heavy use applications are mixi, Twitter, Safari, SMS, iPod, Instantgram and weather news. I use my keitai very carefully. It is weak at water. First time, every iPhone or smart phone user have a hard time still use it well, but I didn’t so. From beginning, I could use it well. I can type very fast on touch panel. Many people are surprised me. My keitai’s sore spot is water and battery, but this has various functions by application. You can custom these functions. It is like a small laptop. Its camera is high quality too. I love it very much.

Mr. Bean_Speaking

In Speaking class, we watched movie "Mr. Bean". We made some groups which have three members, and we watched it alternately. Then we had to tell other member the movie's contents. It was so difficult, because Mr. Bean's action is very crazy!

In the morning, alarm clock rang. He dropped it into water to stop. Of course
it stopped ringing. He had to go to dental clinic, and no time! He washed his teeth and change clothes while driving car to dental clinic. He started engine by a brick instead of his foot! He drives by his knee, then he doesn’t grip steering wheel by his hands.

He arrived the dental clinic. While dentist doesn't look at him, he move reclining chair at his direction, and he stick injection dentist's foot accidentally. The dentist fell down, so Mr. Bean did treatment himself!! I was very surprised. This movie is very funny, I want to watch this series.

Essay 1-03a: Mrs. Doubtfire

I watched movie: Mrs. Doubtfire. I rented it from TSUTAYA. I tell you this story. My interest in this movie is about “father love children”.


Daniel is this story’s main character. He is very funny and cheerful man. He has a family, his wife, two girl and one boy. He loves his children very much. He worked as voice actor, but he quit because he and director’s idea was not much. He had repeated like this, so he doesn't have job anytime and he played with his children. His wife’s Miranda is not like this husband, so she is always irritated.


On his son’s 14th birthday, while wife is in company, he invited many children, brought petting zoo and made big sounds. Miranda received call about the ado and she was very angry. She went back home quickly, stop the party and she told Daniel that she want to divorce. The Courts doesn't allow Daniel parent’s right because he doesn’t have job and house for children live. He only allowed meeting his children every Saturday. He couldn't get it, because his children are his all. He loves them and children love him too.


He thought that how to meet his children. One Saturday, when he had dinner with children, Miranda came for them, she show Daniel an advertisement for home helper. He inspired the plan, so that plan is what he will be a home helper, and HER name is ‘Mrs. Doubtfire’. He good at voices, he can spoof woman. He asked Flank special makeup to be women. It succeeded brilliantly, and SHE was greeted by Miranda.


Mrs. Doubtfire did every home thing, serving dinner, bed making, reading books for child and cleaning house. She is very good home helper. One day, a man visits Miranda’s company as a client. He is Stewart, and he is her past boyfriend. Mrs. Doubtfire tried interfered Stewart and Miranda’s relation. And Daniel got new job in television station, as deliver man. His life was smoothly.


Though one day, Mrs. Doubtfire had to go restaurant with the family and Stewart for Miranda’s birthday dinner. The restaurant is Bridge. And Daniel had to dinner his television station’s president, this is one time chance for his success. The restaurant is Bridge too!! That is Friday 7 o’clock too, but he did it. Can you believe it? First he played HER in the family and next he change his clothes and face, he met his president. He alternated the changing. Unfortunately SHE came out HER identity.


He explained his feeling about love for his children in court. He did crazy action which he became Mrs. Doubtfire to meet children everyday, but he has been crazy since when children born. So this action is not special. I think he lover children than Miranda; after all, he didn't any housekeeping, but after he became Mrs. Doubtfire he study hard cooking, sewing and so on. These are all for he keeps an eye on his children. His love is big, I feel.


While I watch this movie, I laughed many time. This is very fun, I felt Daniel’s love as father and I touched. If you haven’t watched this even, I want to see you too!

Fu*k Joke

Today, recorded history was a record in June. Temperatures exceed 39 degrees in Saitama Prefecture. Now is still in June!

And this year, after the nuclear accident in Fukushima, world atmosphere is "saving on electricity" especially in Japan. JR seems have begun to save power in earnest. The contents are reducing number of driving, turning off the light in train and a weak cooling. It is good for environment. Though I afraid it very much, remember last summer. There were not the big atmosphere of saving on electricity like this, but many people were killed by temperature too high.

This year, electricity shortage will kill people too, I think. What is what we can do for this problem? Why our leader and government is silly though citizen was praised by the world? It is miserable. Fu*k joke!

It is because, mobile phone is very useful to contact with friends and now is Internet society, so everyone have mobile phone. Second, we asked "Do you have sub mobile phone?". 36 percent people answered yes. We are surprised at this high point. I have a sub mobile phone but Yukino and Hruka doesn't have, so this result in this group and our survey's result are just about same. Third question is “Have you ever broken mobile phone?". People who answered yes are 45 percent! It is about half, so we think this number is high. The most common cause is dropping into water, so you have to be careful too!

We provide four answers: normal, slide, smart phone and water proof. Just hulf of people answered 'normal', next is 'slide’ and next 'water proof' and last is 'smart phone'.

Eighth question is "What is your mobile phone wallpaper?". We found that 46 percent of people set Purikura on their mobile phone wallpaper. Students like taking Purikura with their friends. By setting Purikura on the wallpaper, they can remember their memory.

Ninth question is “Which Social Network Service do you use the best?”. More than half of people use mixi, next is other, next is Twitter and last is Facebook. In the world, Facebook is the most favorite though most people is supporting mixi in our colledge.

If you like taking photos, I recommend you "Instantgram". We can take nice photos. This works in some filters. That is to say, it makes photo vividly, darkly, brightly and so on. It can make focus too. I love this.

"iPosca" is scrawling app. You can change color and pen's thickness. "Kirei camera" makes photo beautiful brightness in a matter of seconds. These are attractive isn't it?

Using The Computer_week 10

I almost everyday use computer, I use in my house or college library or building 14. I want to have my note PC. I’ve liked using computer since childhood and I’m good at use Word, Power Point and Internet. Though I can’t do blind touch and very speedy typing, so this homework is not good. I think Japanese students’ skill of using computer is poorer than other advanced nations. Some my Japanese friends too, but American exchange students isn’t like that. Why? We had had “PC class” since elementary school. I can’t understand that some people afraid to use computer. Computer is our friend in almost cases, I think. My house’s OS is Windows Vista and 7. If I have my note PC, I want to have Mac PC. At building 14, we can use Mac PC always! I like them and it is comfortable.

BR 1-08: The Story of Toilets, Telephones and other useful inventions

The reason of that I chose this book is I want to read non-fiction contents. This book shows some useful invention's process of birth. There are many things what I didn't know.
First is the story of toilets. Early toilets were only a hole in the ground. Then ancient Roman had public toilets, but medieval towns were being built and everyone had forgotten the Roman public toilets. They had chamber pots instead, but it is not clean. So Kings and queens had to introduce toilet laws. Compared to this time, current toilets have many functions, for example sound eraser, washlet, toilet seat warmer, automatic washer and so on. This advance is very big, I am very surprised.
Second is about telephones. Do you know Alexander Graham Bell, don’t you? He is the telephone’s father. In this book, his childhood episode is introduced. One day his voice boomed out from his telephone trial product, namely he succeeded after several attempts. Today, a lot of people have own mobile phone. It is wireless and it can send pictures too.
In addition to this, this book introduces invention of frozen food, soccer nets and safety razor and so on. When I finished reading this book, I think today is very convenient world! We can drive, up to stars by elevator, and go to space too! Knowing around inventions’ history is very interesting.
