a cold

Unfortunately, I caught a cold yesterday. I had felt discomfort in my mouth from last Thursday, so I thought that I might catch a cold at that time. When I catch a cold, the process is the same. First of all, I feel a pain in the place between my mouse and my nose. Then, because of this pain, I start to sneeze a lot. After that, because of this snivel, I feel a pain in my throat. Finally, I catch a cold. If it is a worse cold, I sometimes have a fever. Though the cold that I caught yesterday was a worse cold, my condition is getting better today. I think that I caught a cold because I did not have enough time to sleep a lot. So, I would like to take care of my health as carefully as I can. (144 words / 8403 words)

That player is Yasuhito Endou. I wrote the blog which I introduced him to you in. He is a good player, but he has never taken part in the Olympic Games because there are a lot of famous players in his generation. For example, they are Naohiro Takahara, Shunsuke Nakamura, Jyunichi Inamoto, and so on. So, I would like him to take part in it. However, I think that we should not oblige him to do it. To tell the truth, he has caught a certain disease before. It is the hepatitis. Because of this disease, he had not been able to play soccer for a long time. So, I would like him to take care of his health and to decide whether he will take part in the Olympic Games or not. I wish that he will be fully recovered as soon as he can.

My other classes part 3

Though I have studied English for 6 years, I have only done it for entrance examination. I think that I have to study it from a lot of areas more and more. So, I recommend this class. This class is the class to understand English in detail. The students who take part in this class have studied some areas of it since April. For example, they are phonetics, phonology, and so on. I learned how to utter a lot of words that I had remembered in the class of phonetics the other day. I had not always paid attention to the way to do it by the time I learned phonetics in this class. However, I have always paid attention to it since then. I think that it is very valuable for the people who are majoring in English to take part in this class and it can be useful for you. So, I recommend that you should take part in this class as soon as you can. (168 words / 8081 words)

My other classes part 2

I think that it is very important for us to understand the difference of the way to think between Japanese and the people who live in the other countries. However, I do not know what I have to do concretely. So, I decided that I would take part in this class. It is the class of the theory of communicating some different culture. I learned the communication by using languages the other day. For example, most of Japanese tend to use the words such as "maybe", "probably", "might", and so on when they talk to other people. On the other hand, most of American tends to use the words such as "absolutely", "certainly", "surely", and so on when they do it. Therefore, it is said that Japanese has "High Context Culture" and American has "Low Context Culture". I think that it is necessary for me to know a lot of ways to think. So, I would like you to take part in this class and to know different ideas. (169 words / 7913 words)

My other classes part 1

I have a lot of classes in a week. Especially, some of them give me a lot of knowledge. So, I am going to introduce some contents of them to you as I divide them into some of the points. First of all, I would like to introduce the class of British history to you. In this class, I have studied what happened in the last thousands of years. For example, in the first class, I learned the process of the birth of the United Kingdom. Originally, English was not spoken there. There were a lot of Celt at that time and they spoke Celtic. However, a lot of Anglo-Saxon moved to Great Britain in 449. Because of this event, Celt was moved from England by them. Therefore, Celtic is not spoken in England. I was surprised at the fact because I did not know it in detail. I think that it is fun for me to learn what I did not know. So, I would like you to take part in this class, too.

The rainy season

I do not like this season because it makes me sad a little. However, I feel cool a little, so it is easy for me to act. Therefore, I would like to finish my homework as soon as I can. (40 words / 7569 words)

He is "Michi"

I think that Michihiro Yasuda is one of the most popular players in Japan. Though I introduced him to you before, I am going to explain his character to you again in detail because I would like you to know him more and more, and to understand his ideas as a soccer player. I think that the easier way to do them is to view his blogs. They are very unique because a lot of his words on them make us smile. I think that it is fun for him to write his blogs. When you view them, you will want to support him. Anyway, please view them. (108 words / 7529 words) → (http://blog.lirionet.jp/yasuda/)

essay 7 (a movie review)

I have not watched a lot of movies in my life because I do not think that I would like to watch them somehow. I have three reasons why I think so. First, I am not very interested in doing it. I know that a lot of famous actors and actresses appear in a lot of movies every year, and most of their movies are wonderful. However, I prefer watching video dramas to watching some movies. Second, I have not enough time to watch them. I have a lot of things to do every week, so it is difficult for me to do it now. Third, I have not enough money to watch some movies. It is not easy for me to go on doing it. I need a lot of money to buy tickets or rent DVDs. However, I am very interested in a certain movie, so I explain it to you.

The movie is named “HERO”. Originally, it was the video drama that was broadcast 7 years ago. However, it became very popular video drama, and the sequel to it was also broadcast 5 years later. Finally, it became a movie last year. This movie was also seen by a lot of people. Though I had no time to go to see it at that time, I wanted to see it if I have a lot of time to do it. Finally, I was not able to go to the movie theater. So, I saw it on DVD to write this review recently. Then, I am going to explain the points that I am interested in to you.

First, a lot of famous actors in Japan appear in this movie. For example, Takako Matsu, Nene Ootsuka, and Takuya Kimura. Especially, Takuya Kimura is one of the most famous actors in Japan. He appears as Kouhei Kuryuu and plays the lead in this movie. In this movie, he has a major impact on a lot of other people. In a word, he is the most important in this movie.

Second, the story of this movie makes me happy. In this movie, some cases make a big case complex. Then, the feelings of a lot of people are always changing in a lot of different situation. That makes this movie very interesting more and more. I think that it is important for us to receive the message of this movie.

After I saw this movie on DVD, I thought that it was necessary for me to have the belief that I should not give up when I am faced with a lot of difficult situation and go on believing a lot of people who always help me. Though I seldom see a lot of movie, it was very useful for me to see this movie. I think that “HERO” is the best movie for me. If you have enough time to rent this DVD and to see it, I would like you to see it as soon as you can. (500 words / 7421 words)

Mr. penalty kicker




He is Yasuhito Endou. He is often called "Yatto" by his teammate and a lot of his fans. He belongs to Gamba Osaka in J League. He is one of the best players in Japan. His position is midfielder, so his role is to make up a game and to help his team win. Of course, he is able to score by himself. Especially, he is very good at free kick and penalty kick. His technique is very good, so he can do them. I seldom see a goalkeeper who stops the penalty kick that he does. It was decided that he will take part in the Beijing Olympics in 2008 the other day, so I recommend that you should watch this video. (123 words / 6921 words)
