My family

2008-11-19T10:31:00.002+09:00

Today I’m going to talk about my family. I have four members in my family, dad, mom, elder sister and me.
First I’m talk about my dad. His name is Keiki. It means cake in Japanese. I don’t think it’s strange, but everyone who heard my dad’s name first time is very surprising. But I like his name. He is a little bit big, he is about 180 tall. He looks like stern, but he is very kind. Maybe the reason is he had two elder sisters. I think my mom is stronger than dad.
And next is my mom. She is small than me. She is so fine and she has power, I think. She is from Kumamoto; she lives in Kurokami when she was young. She has big family and she has two elder brothers and two younger brothers. So this is the reason of her power. And she is good at cooking. I like my mom’s cooking.
And next is my elder sister, she is older than me by two. And she lives in Tokyo now. She will graduate from university next spring. And she will work as an officer in Tokyo from next spring. She is majoring law at university. Since she was young she often said “I want to go Tokyo.” And her dream was come true. I’m respect her and I do like her.
And I have one more family. Her name is Hana-chan. She is our pet. I don’t meet her recently I want to meet her. Next month I will go back to my hometown so I can meet her, I’m so happy. I do hope that next month will come soon. But before the winter vacation we have exam, it is very hard but hung in there. After the exam many happiness will come.

MR-2 School of Rock

2008-11-12T16:06:00.003+09:00

Now I’m going to talk about School of Rock. This movie is about a bandsman who does love rock music. His name is Dewey Finn. One day he had to give up playing in his band, so he lost his job. But fortunately he got another job. It was as a junior high school teacher. But it was for his friend Ned. So he told a lie to the elementary school. Of course, he can’t teach Math, society and science and so on. So he made every lesson every time free time.
　　　On Tuesday they have music class, so he went to music class and he thought they are very good musicians. So he started for a secret project with students. It was to play rock music. At first it was very hard for the students to do rock, but gradually they became absorbed in rock music. But one day a tragedy was happened. Ned’s girlfriend told the truth to the elementary school. She said that he is not Ned and he is not a teacher. The student and principal got a great shock. And the parents of the student got angry. So Dewey had to leave the school. It was the day before of rock music concert. He apologized to the students about his lie. The students were confused but they were not angry, because they trusted him and they liked him. After that he left the school. Next day the students of his class went and took part in the concert. On their way to the concert they met their teacher Dewey. And they started for the concert. Speaking of their concert, it was very good. They gave a good performance. The audience was very excited by their rock. And the principal and their parents were too. And they keep playing rock music now.
　　　I think he taught the students a big thing in their life even if he is not teacher. And I think the students are so pure too. Recently there are many problems in school. But this school’s students are so pure. We have to never forget such a pure hurt. I think it is very good to trust others sometimes. Good things may be happen.
And I’m interested in having teachers watch this movie. I think teachers are influential to students even if it is good or not good. And always it needs a very big responsibility. So the teacher's job is very hard, but I think it is good job.

Once there is an old man, he is very rich. And his name is Pierre. He has three daughters. Their name is Sophie; she is oldest of the three. And next is Marie. And the youngest is Beauty. He gave them everything that they wanted. Sophie and Marie said to him what they want, but Beauty didn’t do that, so he asked her what she wants. And she answered she wanted to rose. The reason is they have a garden in their house but the rose isn’t bloom in there, so she wanted so.
And he started with his white horse for the purpose of find roses. On his way there was thick fog. It was very hard for him to go ahead. And suddenly he can see the castle on his forward. Next day he found the garden of this castle. In there, a beautiful rosebush was bloomed. When he saw it, he remembered the promise of Beauty. So he picked up the one rose. Suddenly the Beast was appearing. The Beast thinks he is thief. And it tried to kill him. He feels very fear. And he told to the Beast that he wanted to give rose to his daughter. And the Beast told him to send his daughter to me, so he will let you. And he went back to his house.
After that he arrived at house, but he couldn’t tell the truth to Beauty. He worried about that for a few weeks. In one night there was a letter on the desk. It was for Beauty from her father. It told her everything. But he couldn’t send her to the Beast, so I will go to there by oneself. It means his death. She feels so sad and shocked. And she decided to go the Beast’s castle. And she met the Beast; they talked for a short time. And he told her that he was so lonely and sad. She said to him to stay with him if he like. And they stay together.
They spend so much time and gradually Beast fell in love to Beauty. And he told his feeling and he proposed marriage to her. But her answer was ‘No’. She loves him but she cannot marry with him. But he tried to propose marriage to her again and again.
Recently Beauty was homesick and she wanted to go back. So Beast gave her a ring. It was a magic ring. It made her go back to her hometown. And she could go back there for two weeks. She was spending the special time with her family. But one night she dreamed the bad dream. It was the Beast lying under the rosebush. So she went back the castle soon. In the castle the Beast was lying under the rosebush. She was very surprised. She said to him not to die she loves him and she kissed him. Suddenly he became a handsome prince. And he told the story of him. The fairy made him to the Beast. But he can return to human because he met a girl who he really loves.

Now I am going to talk about my favorite movie. My favorite movie is 'Kimi ni Yomu Monogatari'. I watched this movie with my sister when I was a high school student. We like this movie so much. This movie moved us to tears. This movie is love story of the man who loved one woman. This movie’s heroin is Ally. She went to small town during her summer vacation. And she met Noah there. He worked in sawmill. They fall in love.
　　　Their love had a heavy barrier. Her mother took her to city. Noah wrote a letter to Ally 365 days. But there letter were not read by Ally. Her mother had all letters.
　After that the WWⅡ was started. And Noah sent troops. Ally was fallen in love with a man who met in hospital. His name is Ron. And they engaged. After a while Noah was return and known about her engage, he was really shocked.
　 She knew that Noah was return in the news paper. So she went to his house to meet him. In there she met him again. This is the first time she met him in seven years. They was really happy to meet again. But she didn’t choose those men. Lastly she chose Noah. She chose love not money. I think this is the good choice. This movie was moved me. I do like this movie.
