Fall term

Fall term will be over very soon.
It was faster to pass fall term than spring term.
I had never been to use English so much.
In fall term, there are so much English I have to read.
I worked hard to annotate texts.
Whenever I read one text, I always check vocabulary
I didn’t know, and write summary in margin.
As a result, I can catch up with my class mate.
I fancy that I always had ELP reader.
However in this term, I not only study but also
do other many things.
I met with my friend, joined in a certain project,
and did part time job.
I can lead a full time.
I hope I will also be able to lead a full time next term.

Is ICU strange?

Generally speaking, there is little funny
in Japanese university. Many Japanese students
hardly study in university, though they study
so hard in taking entrance examinations.
They dedicate their school life to the group activity
Or part time job in stead of studying in university.
This climate contradict the primary aim,
But they think it is natural for them not to study.
So, I talk my school life to my friend, they always
said to me “It’s very hard. Your school life is
disgusting, aren’t you?” But I don’t think so rather
I feel them so pity.
Education of university gives us may chances.
We can acquire the way of thinking for their studying,
while we study by only memory in high school.
It is said that “college thinking in ELP reader.
The way of thinking makes our life so rich.
So, I could choose good choice that I enterd ICU.
Though I have to study hard, because I can
Spread my chances. (162 words)

First, the color is out standing color such as yellow.
This is for person who is weak eye sight. They can’t
Distinguish shape crealy, but they can distinguish

It is attached along the street.
These block help blind person decide whether go and stop.
Third, its surface is uneven in order to feel
surface in their stick.

you think only tenji block exist.
But with some knowledge, you find many mistakes, or
not working well. For example, the color is blown,
it is attached mistaking one for other,
it is flat, or there are bicycle on the tenji block.
Now, we claim that the world gradually become
barrier free, but it isn’t true.
The world of barrier free start in where everyone

Media is also to blame

Recently, it takes too much time to broad
about the Kameda on the TV.
Perhaps I can’t spend a day without seeing it.
I didn’t see the much Daiki Kameda versus
Daisuke Naito which many people regard as problem.
But I can imagine the game would be terrible,
because the performance of the Kameda went
to excess, I always thought.
However, is it true that the Kameda was only to blame?
I don’t think so.
Media is also to blame as well as the Kameda.
Media fell all over the Kameda, because they can
get audience rating, bring effect of economy.
This issue results from Media.
I know it cost much money to play sports.
But, can't we enjoy sports itself? (122 words)

Prejudice For Black

Now we are studying about race.
Then I have what I remember.
Why we were taught by elementary school teacher,
“Black people aren’t scary. They are gentle in fact.
So, we must not have prejudice for black people.”
It was taught when the assemble which
foreigner talked about their own country was held.
Among foreigner have white people as well as black people.
But probably teacher didn’t say about white people.
From our elementary school student view,
black people is foreigner as same as white people.
It is only difference in skin color.
They speak awkward Japanese and fluent foreign country language.
And they come in contact with us gently.
Nevertheless, why adult taught child only about black people?
I wonder the adult doesn’t recognize that these taught bring
prejudice for black people.
Perhaps, the education about foreigner now isn’t as same as
10 years ago.
However, if it continues,
prejudice for black people in Japan will exist all the time

Now, in Japan, the grave in urban is so popular.
So you can’t buy it easily, even though you want.
It is heard that there are a person who wait for
getting her father’s grave for three years.
However, I have a question.
Is it really important to buy grave?
There is my grand father’s grave in Nagano.
I don’t intend to say it isn’t important.
But, what will it do after our die?
Perhaps, someone will hold a memorial service
and it won’t be long future.
If so, I want my born to sprinkle on the sea or mountain.
In fact, it is the new and more and more popular way.
My family also wants to.
I think it is the best because I don’t worry about
the future of my born.
I don’t want to worry about the future of my born.

The habit of talking

Do you have habit when talking?
For example, I play with straw or case of straw
when I talk with friends in fast food.
It sometimes brings impression to listener
that I’m not interested in speaker’s talk.
And I often start conversation without subject
when talking in Japanese.
It sometimes leads misunderstanding.
I asked this question some of my friends recently.
One of them said that he stare at listener for a long time.
It is not bad habit, we have learned from a child
that we should talk with looking listener’s eyes.
But, it sometimes brings uncomfortable feelings.
These habits are done unconsciously,
because it is habit. (124 words)
