BR 2-08: Elephants

"Her mother shows  her all the things she can do it." (2009). p. 13

Elephants live not only Africa but also Asia. They have some difference for example, African elephants are bigger than Asian elephants. Some Asian elephants live in hot, wet rain forests, so they can swim and like it. But in Africa, the elephants can't swimming because it hasn't rained for months. They walk for hours and hours to find food and water. 

I like animals especially I like gorilla because they are strong but they are also very gentle. I like elephants too. I have ridden elephant once. I didn't remember clearly but I watched a picture which I ride it. I would like to go India someday and want to elephant again. I know they have kind heart, so I'm looking forward to ride and touch elephants!!

My favorite flowers

I like flower but I don't know very well. My grandmother grows a lot of flowers in her garden. She takes care of those flowers every day, so it is so beautiful. I often take a picture those flowers with butterflies. I like all of flowers but especially I like sunflower because it is big, beautiful yellow, can make hamster's feed and oil, easy to draw! Sunflower is picturesque flower. Sunflower’s languages of flower are adoration, grand passion brightness and admirer. There are a lot of good mean but on the other hand there is bad meaning. It is fake gold coin. I don’t care that meaning, and I also like sunflower the best! I also like lily of the valley. This flower is big difference to sunflower but I like this smallness and a sense of honesty. Languages of flower are honesty, buck to happiness, return to happiness. I like it very much too!

"Hello? Police? This is 439-3412. I don't know the address. There are two kidnappers here. They have a young girl. Her name's LoisWaldom. W-A-L-D-M-A-N." (2000, p.12)

Marcel and Celine are French mice. They came Los Angeles on holiday and stayed Waldman's house. Than night, two mice heard a noise. It was sound that two kidnappers lead away girl!! They made a request for her parents about two thing. First, don't call police. Second, bring one milion doll. Her father brought that money, but they didn't return his daughter. So two mice rip out kidnapper's guns, and call police. Then police came, Lois could come buck her house.

This story is very interesting for me because two kidnappers couldn't out game mice. I think that we need such a mice in real world. There are many terrible case in around the world. There is no place where we can live without relief. We have to protect ourselves and children from accident or case. But we limitations. So I want animals to protect a person with a weak constitution, too!

Essay 2-01b: Three Languages I Have Learned

I can speak Japanese perfectly because I am native speaker. Now I have chance to learn various languages in this university, and I can speak little English and Germany. I want to tell you my story about learning languages because it is interesting. And I want to know how have everyone learned other languages! Since I was born, I have listened my mother's voice, and learned Japanese. My first word I said was Mom. I don't remember at all but I think everyone call so because she is a greatest person for baby. Then I learned Japanese step by step for my family.

When I entered the elementary school, I started practice Chinese character and Japanese letter. In my school, we have to dictation of Chinese character and read out text book every day, and it was our homework. I didn't like homework but it would really necessary things to build up our ability. Although I didn't like that but I always full marks in the Chinese character tests! It increased self-confidence.

And I have learned calligraphy for ten year. It was good for me to write beautiful letter. I really liked to going to this class. My teacher was  very gentle and funny person and sometimes I tried hard, she gave me ice cream or some snacks. It was the reason that I was looking forward to going to there. Thanks to teacher, I am good at hand writing and could take a licence.

In the middle school, we started to learning English. I couldn't understand this language at all. In fact, I didn't like English. "Why I should learn this language? I am Japanese!!" Always thought  about like that during English class. But I was second grade in junior high school, I had a chance that I can go America to play basketball game. Because of I like to travel, I decided to go there soon. Speak to America, I need to more space, so I'll cut out. Any way, America was awesome. I loved  English and my host family. Then I wanted to learn more. It  was good experience and chance for me.

After came back Japan, I liked English class the best all of any classes. I felt everything was fun! I knew the teachers sad, and could puzzle out test easily. But the most interested things was singing. In our class, we sing a song before the class. We sung "We are the world" and " Hey Jude" and so on. Every month teacher changed the song, so we could know many songs. I enjoyed singing and thought I'm cool because I can sing a song in English!

When I entered the university, we had to chose and learn one language. There were Germany, Spanish, Russian, French. I choose Germany because this language use alphabet, so I thought it was easy to learn. But it was so complexity. Crammer was the most difficult for me. There is a lot of adverb and inflected forms of a words. I'm groaning on the floor in agony during examination time. I won't to keep learning German any more! So I want to challenge Spanish next time.

Eight years passed I have learn English. But I can't speak well and have some blush to speak. I gave up learning Germany, so I have to master English. To learn other languages are very good for us because we can touch other culture and have a wider view. The reason why I didn't like English was didn't know the world. I knew the pleasure to speak non-Japanese. I knew delicious food in other country. I knew big difference lifestyle and personality. I'm really interest in abroad now. So I want to keep learning and want to go around the world.

My favorite sport to watch

I like all of sports, so I like to watch those too. Especially I like basketball the best because I have played it for ten years and I still love this sport. Recently Kumamoto has pro basketball team. This team's name is VOLTERS. It means volcano + water. Kumamoto is famous of mount of Aso and clean water, so it named. I watched Volter's game last weekend on TV. We lose our game and that game was not so good because a player who came to America is good player but he didn't match teammate. Almost of score was he scoring. But it was the first game for this team, so it will be good step by step. I will keep on cheer them and if I have enough time and money, I want to go to watch them!
