Beautiful free kicks make us surprised!

In a soccer game, there are some ways to get a lot of goals. One of them is a free kick. It is divided into two kinds of kicks. One is the free kick that a player kicks a ball and the other players are able to get a goal if they manage to touch it. That is what we call an indirect free kick. In other words, the player who kicks a ball first is not able to get a goal. This free kick has a little influence on a game. On the other hand, there is the free kick that is able to have a major influence on it. In brief, the result of it can change into a good game or a bad game whether the player who kicks a ball will be able to succeed in the free kick or not. That is what we call a direct free kick. However, there are few players who are able to succeed in the all direct free kicks in the world. As far as I know, some players are called "great free kickers". So, I am going to introduce them to you in order to check that the fact is true.



First, I am going to talk about an English player. His name is David Robert Joseph Beckham OBE. He belongs to Associazione Calcio Milan s.p.a in Serie A. He plays as a midfielder in the team. To tell the truth, he is not very good at using all the techniques that midfielders usually have. However, he is one of the best players that are able to get a goal by making use of a direct free kick. So, he is looked up to as a great player.



Second, I am going to talk about an Italian player. His name is Alessandro Del Piero. He belongs to Juventus Football Club s.p.a in Serie A. He plays as a forward in the team. Though he is 34 years old, he has been able to get a lot of goals for years because he has some ways to get a goal. They are a direct free kick, a little long shot, and so on. I think that he will be able to go on getting many goals thanks to his techniques.



Third, I am going to talk about a Japanese player. His name is Shunsuke Nakamura. Though I introduced him to you before on my blog, I am going to write about him again. He belongs to Celtic Football Club in Scottish Premier League. He plays as a midfielder in the team. He is very famous for two direct free kicks in which he succeeded in the UEFA Champions League that was held in 2006. Also, he is very good at passing a ball, so he is able to show his techniques to a lot of people in the world more and more. I would like him to play as long as he can because I am very proud of him as a Japanese player. (505 words / 11737 words)

The first article I post in this year

Good morning! Then, I wish you a Happy New Year! If there are the people who read the articles of my blog day after day last year, I think that I would like them to go on doing it. Though I started to write my blog harder from last April, I was not able to do it because I did not think of a lot of ideas that I should introduce to you. I was not also good at doing my homework such as essays. So, it was very hard for me to write something. It is strange for me to be able to keep on doing it because the feeling does not change now. Anyway, I will continue to improve my blog, so I would like you to watch it for a long time. Also, I have three goals in this year except my blog. Therefore, I am going to show them to you.

First, I am going to increase the opportunity of driving a car. I got a driver's license last February. However, I do not often drive. It is because I would not like to do it. Generally speaking, a lot of people who got the license want to go out to drive as soon as they can. It is because they are able to arrive at their destinations earlier than walk or have a ride on my bicycle. And it is important for the people who have the license to be able to make use of cars because they can carry a lot of goods when they go shopping. In spite of some advantages, there is a reason why I do not drive. It is because I am afraid of my causing traffic accidents. Of course, I took all courses in a driving school, passed the test, and received the driver's permit. Though they are true, I do not have the confidence that I can drive a car safely. I think that I have to drive a car again and again in order to improve my ability to do it. So, I would like to use my car without thinking a lot of things.

Second, I am going to go outside to exercise a lot. Though I do not have enough time to do it, I have to move. It is because I know that I have put on weight little by little. I have the time to ride on my bicycle for going to school, but it is not enough. I think that I have to play soccer or baseball on weekends in order to increase the time to exercise.

Third, I am going to study harder to brush up my ability to use English. Of course, I have a lot of things that I have to do in order to finish my homework to get credits. However, I entered this university to get a lot of knowledge and to know how to use them. So, I am going to study more and more and get a better grade on TOEIC.

I think that it is very important for me to fix goals in the beginning of a new year, so I will achieve these goals. (531 words / 11232 words)

3 players will be more popular

I have watched a lot of soccer games on TV in this year. So, I keep in mind a lot of the players. In this year, I had a lot of times to watch the games in Premier League because they were broadcast many times. I think that one of the most famous leagues in the world is Premier League. Of course, there are a lot of famous players in this league. Though I have already introduced some players in the movies of my blog to you, I did not explain them in detail. Instead of them, I am going to show the players in Premier League who will be more famous among a lot of people in the world to you.



First, I am going to introduce a midfielder to you. His name is Francesc Fàbregas Soler. He is usually called "Cesc" by a lot of fans. He is from Spain and belongs to Arsenal Football Club. His position in the games is a central midfielder. He is very good at passing a ball and his view in games is broad. So, Arsenal is able to control a lot of games whenever he plays on the field. And he is 21 years old, so he will be able to play a big part in his team for a long time.



Second, I am going to introduce a forward to you. His name is Fernando José Torres Sanz. I often call him "Torres". He is also from Spain and belongs to Liverpool Football Club. His position in the games is a center forward. He is very strong and quick physically, so he is able to get a lot of goals. Though he is not able to take part in the games in Premier League because of his injury now, I believe that he will be able to get many goals after he returns to the field.



Third, I am going to introduce the other forward to you. His name is Nicolas Sebastian Anelka. I usually call him "Anelka". He is from France and belongs to Chelsea Football Club. To tell the truth, I had thought that he was not a good player because he did not play very well in the last season. However, he had some reasons why he was not able to bring out the best in him. One was the confusion over the difference of team. He became a member of Chelsea halfway through the last season, so it took him a lot of times to get used to this team. The other is the way to play him. He is a forward, but he played as a midfielder in the last season many times. Now, he plays as a forward, so he has got many goals. I am looking forward to his activity very much. (469 words / 10701 words)

Movie review 6 Mission: Impossible

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)
