Big game!

As you know, I am very interested in soccer games. Especially, I am always excited when I think of J League. Though I think that the best team in J League is Gamba Osaka, there are good teams in this league. Urawa Red Diamonds is one of them and often said "Reds" by a lot of supporters. Reds has some famous players in Japan. For example, they are Naohiro Takahara, Yuki Abe, and so on. So, the ability that they have is the best of all teams in Japan. However, they have put up a bad fight in J League and have number five ranking there today. (107 words / 5171 words)

Book review 2-4

Though it is natural for the people who live in this world never to see the same people as them, the world that some different kinds of living things on the earth exist in may be somewhere. We usually call the living things aliens. However, we would be surprised if the people who look like ourselves came out. When I watched a video drama on TV, I remembered a word. It is "Doppelgänger". Doppelgänger is a word in German. It really looks like me and it is what we call the picture of me. Today, I read a book that gave me the clue to reminding me of the word. I thought that it was a good book for me, so I am going to introduce it to you in order to share my idea.

The name of this book is "Parallel". The main character is Max Holland. One day, he killed a woman by pushing her to the rail when a train comes into the train. Her name is Julie. As a result, she died. After three years passed, her father went to see him. The name of her father is Gerald Fairhead. Max had been worried about having the custom of his killing someone until Fairhead comes to see him. Fairhead told him that there were "parallel worlds" and the other Max Holland lived there. Max was not able to understand them. Fairhead took him and explained the reason why there were different worlds. He told Max that the decisions we made make a difference to a lot of things. Then, they went to another world. Max thought that he was going to kill Fairhead, but he believed what Fairhead said and followed him. They saw another London, and arrived at the house which a woman lived in. After that, Max went to see the other Max, and he came back to her house. Finally, he found that the woman who lived there was the other Julie in the parallel world and Fairhead took him to kill him because she had suffered from the fact that Julie in the real world was killed by him. And he made Fairhead choose what kind of world he wanted to live in.

After I read this book, I thought that it is interesting for me to think about another world. So, I would like you to read this book once. (399 words / 5064 words)

Three subjects I liked

When I was a high school student, I studied a lot of subjects. Of course, I had the subjects that I liked very much or the subjects that I did not like. When I studied favorite subjects, I was very happy because they enabled me to know a lot of information that I had not heard of at that time. There were a lot of teachers who knew more about each subject and understood how to tell students their knowledge effectively in my high school. Thanks to them, I was able to get interested in the subjects. Then, I am going to introduce three subjects that I liked very much to you.

First, I liked English classes. Of course, I also like English now. As I was able to learn English in the classes happily, I decided to major in it.

Second, I liked social studies classes. As they helped me to understand what happened at that time, so I liked it.

Third, I liked PE. Though I was not able to run fast, I liked playing soccer and the other sports. (182 words / 4665 words)

I'm very sleepy...

Though I always stay up late, I know that I have to go to bed earlier. And I may become sick if I go on keeping this condition. I think that I have to do some things in order to make my situation better. If I am able to do them, I will live happily more and more. In my case, it takes me a lot of time to finish assignments in this university. Therefore, I am often said that I need more time than others do. However, I think that the fact can show you what I am able to act with care. Anyway, I am going to explain things that I should do in order to make my situation better to you.

First, I think that what we sleep a lot makes us healthier. I have not a lot of times to sleep at night because I often find what I want to do when I sit up late at that time. However, we have to take a rest so as to keep our body healthy. Of course, I know the fact of this. Also, I know the lack of sleep always makes me tired. So, I am going to finish my assignments by the time that changes a date in order to keep my condition good. And I would like to keep doing it.

Second, I think that what we have three meals a day is very important for us. When I was a high school student, I knew how important that was. After we eat a meal, it becomes our energy. And we are able to act because of it. Especially, it is the best for the people who have lived in Japan for years to eat rice because it is one of the foods that become their energy. It is also important for us to exercise in order not to make the things that we eat fat after we have a meal.

Third, I think it is necessary for us to laugh because we are able to forget the things we are worried about for a while if we do it. You may not think that to laugh connects to what we keep our bodies healthy. However, we can always have the feelings that make us happy a little when we do it. They are able to help us to relax and we can start to act in a light mood. I think that we will go to bed smoothly if we go on laughing regularly. And the custom is able to make my mind and body fresh.

When I was a child, I had gone to bed at 10 or 11. However, I often sit up late at night lately. I think that there are two reasons why I do it. One is what I have a lot of interests. I knew that I am able to have many chances of getting a lot of information when I sit up late. The other is the change of the way to think of midnight. When I became a high school student, I had thought that we must go to bed until midnight, but I think that it is a good time for concentrating on studying now. Though I know them, I have to keep my condition better by using what I think of. (558 words / 4483 words)  

School of Rock is...

I know the name of this movie, but I do not know the content of it. Though I only watched the music video of it, it made me excited. I seldom listen to a kind of rock. (37 words / 3925 words)

Good song!



I like this song very much because this is the song that was used in my favorite TV program. That is "How do you like Wednesday". Originally, this program was only broadcast in Hokkaido Prefecture. However, this program became a very famous program in this prefecture, and the reputation spread to all parts of the country. This program is sold as DVDs now. And this program is loved by a lot of people in Japan. I think that this program is different from the other TV programs in being made by a few members. They are Takayuki Suzui, Tadahisa Fujimura, Masamichi Ureshino, and Yo Oizumi. Especially, Yo Oizumi has appeared on some video dramas, so you may know him well. He is so funny and his behavior or what he says always makes a lot of people laugh. I think that he will appear on TV more and more. Anyway, I would like you to listen to this song!

Book review 2-3

As you know, there are a lot of famous cities in the world. For example, they are London, Rome, Paris, and so on. They have a lot of beautiful landscapes and buildings. Paris is famous for a big street. Rome is famous for a stadium. And London is famous for a clock tower. I think that I would like to travel to one of the cities before I become an old man. However, the United States of America is one of the biggest countries in the world, so I am not able to miss the culture or buildings. Especially, we have to notice the capital of this country. I found a book that explains it to you. It can help you to know a part of the United States of America. So, I am going to introduce it to you.

The name of the book that I am going to introduce is "WASHINGTON D.C.". As this book has a lot of pictures, you will be able to understand the contents of it easily. Then, I am going to explain the contents to you. In Washington D.C., there is the White House that is one of the most famous congresses in the world. The White House has a lot of rooms, so I thought that I would like to see it someday. Also, there are a lot of memorials and monuments in the place. For example, the Lincoln Memorial is one of them. In addition, there are a lot of buildings that we had better go and see at least once in our life. For example, National Museum of Natural History is a very good building, so I think that I want to look over it more and more. After that, there are some entertainments. For example, they are music, basketball, and so on.

Though Washington D.C. is a part of the United States of America, the places that I mentioned a little are worth going. If you can go there, you may be able to find another place that I do not mention. Anyway, I would like you to get interested in Washington D.C. (354 words / 3729 words)
