What change our life?

Spring term is finishing.
I feel time passed so fast.
I had never spoken English so much.
I had never studied something so much
for myself. Who did expect that
I am in ICU now when I graduated from
high school?
I am made by what I used to be.
When I choose university two years ago,
If I had not chosen Tokyo Metropolitan
University, I would not be in ICU.
In our life, we don’t know what the choice
of changing our life so much is.
Only one choice can change our life.
But however we choose any choice,
If we try to best, the choice isn’t miss choice.
Looking back my life, I feel so strongly.
SO, I want to treasure my time,
And try my best to choose when I have to
choose any choice.
Above all things, I want to make fruitful
summer vacation. (148words)

Agricultural crisis

Now, the farmer is more and more
serious in Japan, because vegetable
are can’t be grown.
Why can’t be grown?
There are three reasons.
increasing depopulation
in the country side is the one reason.
Many people who related to
agriculture are old people.
And there is no successor.
Young people tend to go city,
and get a job which is stability.
Decreasing phosphoric acid
in field is the second reason.
Without enough phosphoric acid,
vegetable can’t be grown.
The environmental problem is
more and more serious is
the last reason.
Especially weather is very
important for farmer.
Rainfall, snowfall,
and the time of daylight is
Very important for vegetable.
Vegetable can’t catch up with
the change of environment.
The production of Japan will be
less and less, though
It have been very little.
Now, we face on agricultural problem.

Animation Types

I talk about animation the other day,
and I realized that we could divide
animation into three kinds by form of story.
First type is that one story continues
next week . In many case, its subject is
growth. Animation which one character aim
at full victory is popular example.
Sometimes, these animation ends early
in order to advance faster than comics.
Second type is that each story is independence
and same ending every week.
For example, Doraemon, Sazaesan and Anpanman,
which have been popular for long time,
belong to this type. These types can continue
forever as long as it has problem,
but if producer want to continue for a long time,
he have to make this devising in order not to
get into a rut. What join above two types is last type.
This type’s stories are conclusion in 1~4 weeks,
and sometimes, the story is unfold.
Detective Conan which is mystery and
Sailor Moon is this type.
What is a common denominator of all type
is interesting. If nobody were interested it,
it couldn’t continue. Type is different,
but all animation is made interesting.
As we grow up, we will not watch it.
So if you have free time and you don’t like
animation, you may be better to watch it.
You can go back to childhood during 30 minutes.

Earthquake

I saw “Emergency Room 24 Hours
(Kyumei Byoto 24zi)” the other day.
This drama show us terror of
earthquake from victim’s such as doctor,
nurse, politician’s point of view.
I felt the terror of earthquake again.
The drama said, the percent of
the earthquake which will register intensity
more than 7 on the Japanese scale
in Tokyo is more than 70 %. That is why, it is no
wonder that we will have earthquake today.
And then, I shocked the size of damage.
For example, if we had the earthquake
6 o’clock in winter, the death toll would
climb more than 12000, because we use
fire and gas, or we don’t come back home.
Transportation isn’t work, and more than
150000 building collapse.
Both damage of man and substances are
very big. If Tokyo suffers this damage,
we need 82 trillion yen to reconstruct Tokyo.
82 trillion yen are as same value as
budget of Japan. So, if Tokyo had earthquake,
Japan would die.
I was a lot of shock from this drama saying.
On the other hand, however, I could know
good nature of human.
Of course this is drama, not real.
However if we had earthquake, we would
do same. ”Every one is victim.”
This word is said by Mr. Shindo,
one character of drama.
When big earthquake happen,
everyone is same. There are many job
in the world, doctor, teacher, politician,
fire fighter and so on. But every body is same.
Everyone may worry about their family,
want to spend better life.
Everyone has same hope,
So, each person can do what he can,
and we can help each other in order
to get over earthquake.
“If I have earthquake…” I don’t want to
think it. However, I have to accept reality.
If I have earthquake, I want to do what I can,
and help others possible. And I
want to be kind more. (318 words)

The importance of preparation for class in university

Almost everyone is told that

the preparation and review for class is

so important, these are keys of increasing

our understanding level in high school.

But many people may not do such in practice.

The reason is that if we don’t do such, it isn’t

at a loss so much, and it is a problem only ourselves.

So, we think it as not so much importance.

But in university, especially ICU, isn’t applied

such as in high school. If we don’t prepare for class,

we are trouble for others sometimes.

For example, if I am presenter, I make others

waste valuable time. Or, if I join in discussion,

I can’t comment about the topic. In university,

we are given more chance of presentation and

discussion by teachers in university than in high school.

So, we have to prepare for class more in university

than in high school. (147 words)

Ziburi movies

I'm sure you know “Spirited Away
(Sen to Chihiro no kamikakusi).”
This is very famous movie in Japan,
and also it is known to many people
in the world. It is won the gold prize
in Berlin international movie award.
This movie is one of the studio ziburi’s
movies. I have felt any movies made by
studio ziburi are so good vaguely.
My family seems to have felt, too.
Yesterday, we could have chance to
talk about ziburi movies,
because there were TV program
about ziburi’s movies.

So, there are 3 reasons that
we feel good. First, any movies have
something to appeal behind the story.
Except some movies, many movies
don’t show the problem directly.
They don’t treat serious subject
directly. But they have something
to appeal. After seeing these movies,
we can think about something.
It is the one element of good movie.
Second, the music is attractive.
Even if we close our eyes,
the music of these movies brings
me the image of the scene.
What music is accommodated to
the scene is one of the elements.
Finally, there are many conflicts in
making one movie, and talk each
other until they are satisfied.
In the TV program, one people
whose job is making catch copy
said”I am going to be neurosis.”
It is element of good movie that
there are so many efforts
in making one movie.
Of course, whether feeling good
movie depends on each sense,
but I want to recommend others
these movies having these elements.

Supporter Of Soccer And Baseball

Many people like to watch game
of sports. Especially, baseball and
soccer are popular in Japan.
I like these, too.
Also, I watch these two or three
times once a yare, too.
Every time went to stadium,
I realize they are different each other.
Of course, their rule is different.
However, it isn’t only different in rule.
The most different is their supporter.
There are many young people
(age of 10-30) and few old people
in soccer stadium. So few people
drink alcohol or eat side dish of sake.
Everyone support soccer player
during 2 set of 45 minute,
standing in front of the seat.
To supporter of soccer,
there are many old people in
Baseball Park. In Rule of base ball,
each team have 9 attack chance
and 9 defense chance (of course
it has an exception) . So we
support mainly attack chance.
In time of defense of supporting
team, we enjoy drinking alcohol
or juice and eating dinner or side
dish of sake, watching attack
chance of enemy’s team.
Of course, both are sports
supporter. So they have same points.
One of example is that we complain
about miss play or not good play.
And, if favorite team was win, we
would be very please at win,
if favorite team was lost, we would
be disappoint at lose. Some people
very angry and throw the megaphone
into the stadium. This is the second
example. However the most same
point is probably that the most same
point is that we enjoy watching very much.

The class in ICU

The class in ICU

The classes in ICU are so unique.
The reasons are as follow.
First, the way of classes is unique.
I had only lecture in class
when I was freshman in previous university.
I didn’t have chance to discuss.
To my hearing, many universities
take the same style of my previous university.
Many friends haven’t been discussed in
classes except seminar.
Discussion in class is unique point.
Second, the way of evaluation is unique.
Many schools evaluate student by score
of exam or report or both, though
teachers say” we evaluate you by
not only score of exam, but also attendance.”
Third, assignment is unique.
Many students in other university don’t
have such amount of assignment.
I don’t think it is a lot, but my friends
in high school or the previous university
friends are surprised
at my amount of homework.
These unique classes are brought
by the eager teachers.
To evaluate students by exam is so easy
for teacher, because teachers can teach
arbitrary, and evaluate only by score.
If teachers aren’t eager,
we don’t take these unique classes.
These classes bring us chance to learn
the way of thinking.
So, if teachers aren’t eager,
we can’t have chance to learn
the way of thinking.
That is why I’m happy that
I can have chance to take classes in ICU.
