I know that there are many kinds of movies in the world. They always make us happy, surprised, sad, and so on. It is because it is not very difficult for us to read the story lines. In other words, we are able to make out what most of the movies would like to tell to us. I think that I will not be able to enjoy watching a lot of movies if I can not understand the ideas that they want to give to me. Today, I found an interesting movie. However, it is also an exciting movie. It is because the movie made me happy after I watched it on DVD though I was not able to make out most of the ideas that this movie has. So, I am going to introduce the story to you as far as I understand.
Impossible Mission Force is the organization that each of the members acts as a spy in this story. They are called IMF. One of the members is Ethan Hunt who is a main character in this movie. When he was working with his team in order to get a list of CIA members in Prague, all the members except him were killed by someone. After he managed to escape from the crisis, he met Eugene Kittridge who belonged to CIA. However, Kittridge regarded him as a murderer who killed the members of Ethan’s team. So, he started to act so as to look for a traitor in IMF. He made his team. The members are Claire Phelps, who is a woman and escaped from being killed, Franz Krieger, and Luther Stickell. After that, they succeeded in getting a part of the data of CIA members, and Ethan was going to see Max who is a woman in a train by using it. In the train, he was nearly killed by Jim Phelps who is a survivor from that crisis and Franz, but he overcame them and wiped his disgrace. Finally, he watched that video.
Though I was not able to find what is the most important in this movie, it gave the feeling that makes me excited to me. I think that we have to remember that a lot of things can happen to us, so we had better prepare for them. Anyway, this movie is very good, so I would like you to watch it as soon as you can.

Movie review 5 Mask
I think that a mask is a tool is rarely used in our daily life. And I know that the mask is used by some people when they dance, want to keep secrets, and so on. However, I had not been interested in it. And I had not known this movie very much. This movie is named “Mask”. When I saw the picture of the case of it, I thought that it was a little strange, but it made me be interested in this movie. After I watched it on DVD, I thought that I knew the reason why it has been seen for a long time. So, I am going to introduce the story to you.
There is a man who is a bank clerk. His name is Stanley Ipkiss. He is very kind to all people and always unlucky. One day, when he came back from the party that he was asked to take part in by his friend, he found a mask in the river and took it to his home. After he got there, he looked at it for a while and after he put it on, he changed to “the mask man” with an intense tornado. After that, he went on acting up in the night. As a result, he became the enemy of Dorian Tyrell, who is one of the leaders of local mafia, and he was caught by police. However, he escaped from them, and he beat Dorian and he succeeded in saving a woman whose name is Tina Carlyle who Stanley fell in love with. Finally, he threw away the mask in the river where he found it.
I thought that this movie was very funny. However, it gave a very important thing to me. It is not to depend on a strong power. If we can do it, we will grow up more and more. So, I would like you to watch this movie. (323 words / 9827 words)

Movie review 4 Toy Story
When I was a little child, I was interested in a lot of things. For example, they were my future, my dream, and so on. I think that to get interested in many things is one of most important parts that most of us do not have now. When we get a lot of information, we find that some of things that we had thought that we could do in my childhood are impossible or very difficult. We have to know “reality”. However, it is only point of departure. When we know it, what we should do turns so clear. “Toy Story” is one of movies that give the key to us. So, I am going to introduce the story to you.
Woody is a doll which looks like a cowboy. He has a string. If it is pulled, he starts to speak by himself. He has a lot of friends in his owner’s room. His owner is Andy and they are all his toys. For example, they are Mr. Potato Head, Hamm, Slinky, and so on. They can also move by themselves, but Andy does not know that. He cherishes them and Woody is his favorite toy. So, he always plays with Woody.
One day, a new toy came to Andy’s home as a present for his birthday. His name is Buzz Lightyear. He is made for children and has a lot of functions as a toy. The toys except Woody accepted him, but Woody did not do because Andy came to play with him and had been very excited at him. After some days, Woody tried to drop Buzz to under the table in his room. However, Buzz fell on the bushes out of the house by mistake. Because of this accident, Woody disappointed his friends. When Andy went to Pizza Planet restaurant with his family, he tried to take Woody there because he could not find Buzz in his room. Buzz held on to the car that would go to Pizza Planet restaurant and he found Woody. Woody and Buzz managed to arrive there, but they were caught by a bad boy. His name is Sid Phillips. He is a neighbor of Andy and likes to destroy toys and change them into other toys. They tried to escape from his house, but they were not able to do it because Andy’s toys did not believe what Woody said at first. In addition, Buzz knew that he is not a “real” space ranger but a toy for children, so he was depressed. However, Woody accepted him as a friend and told him to return to Andy together. Buzz was motivated by what Woody said and the toys that were changed by Sid helped them to escape from his house, so they were able to reform him and go back to the car that Andy and his family were taking to move to their new house. After that, Andy and his toys had a good time there.
In this movie, there are a lot of toys. So, many children in the world will be excited when they watch them. However, I think that this movie has some message for us. They are what we should do after we know our situation. Buzz could know that it is the most important for toys to be with their owners after he understood that he was not a space ranger. I think that we have to find what each of us is only able to do or what we would like to do for the people who each of us cherishes very much. (601 words / 9504 words)

Movie review 3 Romeo ＋ Juliet
When I was a high school student, I had known the name of the movie of “Romeo and Juliet”. However, I had not known that it was also other movies before my teacher told me the name of this movie. This movie is named “Romeo ＋ Juliet”. Of course, “Romeo ＋ Juliet” has the same plot as “Romeo and Juliet”. But some of the situations are arranged in a modern style. For example, some swords were used in the struggles between Capulet family and Montague family in “Romeo and Juliet”. However, in “Romeo ＋ Juliet”, some guns were used at that time. So, I am going to introduce the story to you.
A boy is worried about one-sided love to Rosaline, but he falls in love with a girl at first at Capulet family’s party. He is Romeo, who is the only son of Montague family. The girl is Juliet, who is the only daughter of Capulet family. He and she are not able to hold the feelings that they love each other, and they get married at once. However, the happy life does not go on. As Montague family and Capulet family have disliked each other, one of them starts to fight. Romeo tries to stop it, but he is not able to do it. As a result, Mercutio, who is a friend of Romeo, is killed by Tybalt who is a cousin of Juliet. It makes Romeo angry, and he kills Tybalt by gun. Because of this event, Romeo and Juliet are separated. Laurence, who is a matchmaker of them, plans to help them. However, his idea is not told to Romeo. Finally, they died.
This story is the very type of the tragedy, but I think that it is difficult to cause it in the real world. If we have strong heart and judge what we should do, it can not happen. What we understand is that to discuss is very important. (325 words / 8903 words)

Movie review 2 School of Rock
Before I watched “School of Rock” on DVD, I had not been interested in the movie. However, I found this movie very interesting after I watched it because I thought that it had some good advice. And I think that the change of feelings of some characters in this movie helps us to understand them, so I am going to introduce some characters and their personalities to you.
First of all, I am going to talk about Dewey. He is a man who loves rock music very much. However, he always thinks about it, so he is not interested in the other things at all. After he became a teacher without thinking deeply, he grew up mentally a little through teaching rock music to his students.
Second, I am going to talk about Rosalie. She is the principal of Horace Green Elementary. She looks like a very rigid woman, but she hopes that she is an adaptable woman. Surprisingly, she also likes rock music very much. Thanks to Dewey, she was able to tell the other people the feelings that she really had for the first time.
Third, I am going to talk about the students who Dewey taught rock music to. They belong to Horace Green Elementary, so they had only thought about studying hard and improving their grades before they met Dewey. They were able to be proud of themselves after they played rock music with Dewey.
After I watched this movie, I learned what we need to live. They is the importance of being absorbed in something, to do our best and so on. You will find some advice for you when you watch this movie again. (280 words / 8373 words)

Movie review 1 Shrek
When I was a little child, I often read some children’s stories. Though I am not able to remember the content of books that I read at that time perfectly, I am able to explain what I think that it is the most important for us to you. “Shrek” is also a work that tells us what we should do. Now, I am going to introduce three characters that I am interested in and their personalities to you.
First of all, I am going to talk about “Shrek”. He is a main character and his action has a great influence on the other characters in this movie. He is usually selfish, so he sometimes makes the other characters a little depressed. However, he always stands up to some difficulties when he and his friends face them.
Second, I am going to talk about “Donkey”. He is the most active character in this movie. He is what is called the part to cheer everyone up. He is talkative and very noisy, but he helps Shrek fight when they face some difficulties.
Third, I am going to talk about “Princess Fiona”. She looks like a delicate woman, but she is able to fight very well. In addition, she is very tough mentally. I think that she and Shrek have the same personality.
Though a lot of characters appear in this movie, Shrek, Donkey, and Princess Fiona have important roles. They tell us the importance of believing friends. I think that this movie is also a work that shows the way to help friends, so we had better watch this on DVD again and again. (272 words / 8093 words)

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)

essay 6 (2028 self introduction)
Hello, my name is Takanori S. I am 39 years old. I have three members in my family. My wife earns our living by working as an office worker. My daughter, who is 10 years old, is a pupil. She often tells me what she did in her school, which class was the most interesting, and what she talked to her friends after she comes home. That is a part of pleasure of a day for me. My son, who is 5 years old, is a kindergartner. He is very active, so I am in trouble by his behavior. However, I think that it is good for him to be interesting in a lot of things, so I only warn him about it a little.
I work as an officer in Kumamoto Prefecture. I usually work for 10 hours, but I work for 12 hours when I am very busy. I think that this job is very challenging as I can help a lot of people who are in trouble in daily life or do not understand some procedure in writing papers. So, I would like to keep doing this job as long as I can.
My hobby is to play with my children at the end of the week. We often go to a park and play baseball, soccer, and tennis there. After we play for a long time, I get very tired. However, my children still hope that they play a lot. When they play happily, they often laugh. That makes me happy.
I worry about some things. First, it costs our family millions to buy a car and a house. So, we have to finish paying it on easy terms. Second, I worry about a cost of education for my children. I and my wife works as hard as we can, but we do not know how long we can work. Also, the business fluctuation in Japan may make our household economy worse. Third, I am afraid of some diseases. For example, cancers, cerebral hemorrhage, and so on. In a word, I would like to live to keep seeing the growth of children as long as I can.
After I graduated from KGU, it passed 17 years. I am married to my wife, and I have two children. I am responsible for a lot of things. However, I think that I should enjoy the rest of my life with my family. So, I would like to take good care of my family and live with thinking a lot of things. (423 words)

essay 5 (the worst day in my life)
Though I do not often go out and I can not go on running in the park all day long now, but I used to be able to do them. Some of my classmates in elementary school were very vigorous, so it also made me active at that time. However, I think that children tend to act without caring about what will happen if they try to do something dangerous for them. It is natural for them to do that because they are interested in a lot of things, but I think that children should know whether their behavior are right or wrong as many as they can.
One usual evening in nine years ago, I and my younger sister felt bored because we had nothing to do anything. After a few times passed, my younger sister suggested to me that we should play tag to kill time in my house. Then, I agreed to her proposal, and we began to do it at once. When we had enjoyed playing tag for a while, the incident happened. When I was running, my toes caught on the keyboard of feet in my house. The next moment I felt an acute pain in my toes. I was not able to stand up, and I lay quietly. As I was sleepy, I went to bed early in the night.
On the following day, I went to a hospital with my mother. After I was examined, a doctor told me that I broke my toe and it would take me three weeks to recover from my break. I was very shocked at this news. Because I did not think that my toe was broken owing to such trivial incident. Because of this injury, I could not go to my grandparents’ home.
I had kept having my toe in a plaster cast for 14 days. When I walked somewhere in my house, I tapped the floor with my plaster cast. I felt loud when I did. I thought that it was very troublesome for me to do something with a plaster cast while I lived with it. So, I was very happy when I recovered from a break in a bone. Also, I thought that I did not want to break my bone.
I was ten years old at that time, but I was very young mentally. So, I think that I broke my toe. Especially, I had not enough skill of judging a lot of situation. I think that I should distinguish the time when I should move from the time when I should not. When I can get this skill, my daily life will be better. (443 words)
One usual evening in nine years ago, I and my younger sister felt bored because we had nothing to do anything. After a few times passed, my younger sister suggested to me that we should play tag to kill time in my house. Then, I agreed to her proposal, and we began to do it at once. When we had enjoyed playing tag for a while, the incident happened. When I was running, my toes caught on the keyboard of feet in my house. The next moment I felt an acute pain in my toes. I was not able to stand up, and I lay quietly. As I was sleepy, I went to bed early in the night.

essay 4 (a memorable day in my life)
I think that the most memorable day for me is the day when I went to my grandparents’ house by train for myself. When I was 8 years old, I had thought that it was very difficult for me to go out to somewhere for myself. Because I had feared that I lost my way or had a traffic accident. So, I rarely went out. And I had always visited there with my family when I would like to see my grandparents as soon as possible. But, my parents had thought that I should be the person who tried to be willing to act. Then, my parents suggested to me that I should do something for myself.
It was the trip to grandparents’ house. Finally, I made up my mind that I went there. In that day, I was not all that tensed up. After I rode on my car, I arrived at the Kumamoto Station. Then, I rode on the train that was named “Tsubame”.
In this train, I spent a lot of time keeping sitting down. I sometimes ate some candies that I received from the person who had worked as servers and drank something cold to drink. Also, as one of the passengers who rode on the same car spoke to me, it was very short for me to spend the time I had rode on the train. Then, I arrived at Minamata Station, and I could see my grandparents.
I thought that my grandparents looked anxious when I got off at the platform, but they met me with smiles. Though I was a little tired from the train trip, the smiles made me forget the tiredness temporarily. Then I rode on my grandfather's car, and I and grandparents went to their home.
I still remember that I did it. I think that it is very important for me to act for myself. Because it links to growth as a person. And the memory makes me rise mentally. Therefore, I think that I would like to experience a lot of things. (344 words)

essay 3 (My favorite animal)
I think that some of animals make us relax and they sometimes encourage us to live cheerfully. Especially, the people who have animal as a pet may know why I have the idea. In my case, I think that dogs are the best of all the animals. Basically, I like cats, birds, monkeys, and fishes. However, I regard dog as the best animal if they live with us. I have three reasons why I think that.
First, I think that dogs are always cute. For example, when I walk with a dog on holiday morning or afternoon, it walks with I walking quickly. The movement of it looks like a toy, so the faster it walks, the cuter it looks. Also, when it eats some food, it is only absorbed in eating them. I think that the situation is very heartwarming, so that makes me smile and please. A lot of movements that dogs act without intention are very attractive.
Second, I think that dogs are very clever. For example, when a suspicious character breaks into the house that a family has a dog, it barks as noisy as possible. Generally speaking, it is said that a dog tells us how dangerous the situation is.
Third, I think that dogs are very important in our daily life. For example, some of dogs help the people with visual impairment to live alone. I think that it is necessary that they spend a lot of times acting freely. So, the ability of dogs should be valued widely.
My grandparents of my mother used to have a dog. It was called “John”. I had cherished it, but it died of disease. I think that we should love dogs and we have to take care of them until they dies. Therefore, I think that I like dogs very much. (305 words)
