Today we had last presentation about each theme and there were interesting stories.
Ms. Misato -Now and Past Technology-
Now everything is here. We can use internet such as twitter. But we shouldn’t depend on machine. Let’s use our heads.
Mr. Mizuho-Job Opportunity-
There are jobs only women or men can. And women have power men cannot do. Most important is work place. Because men or women aren’t associated work place.
Ms. Manami-Women Place-
Women have to raise child and work a lot. Sometimes child in that situation has problem such as drinking, smoking. But it cannot be reason to decide women’s place.
Ms. Kyoka-Job-
Some people work to success. She think work to be in happiness and want to grow up. We cannot buy it.
Ms. Miyabi-Wars-
Many people like peace. Most important is their lives. We have to think first our lives.
Me-TPO-
I talked about TPO of Furisode (Kimono). I just wanted to say that people (especially ADULT) should wear clothes right way. But peole have different thought so let’s carefully think about it.
We have Presentaion about Success.
Miss Aiwa Her idea of success was to believe yourself is important and that idea was based on her real experience. So it was strong story and I could feel that’s right.
She spoke clear voice but a little bit low. Also she tried not to see her text it was great, I thought.
Mr. Kishita He talked about his successful story. He tried to persuade people to be in his team and it succeeded. His voice was just volume.
Ms. Riho Her idea of success is achieving a thing. And she talked to never give up. I had sympathy with her thought and it’s important to appear as a result. She talked easy voice to hear but she should practice more.
Mr. Ryota His thought was different from others. He thought that success is not able to estimate and you cannot understand success until you die…! This words remind me some rock singer’s word. I understood he is a person who goes to his way even if the way he took seemed risky. I wanted him to speak more loud voice.
Ms. Asuka Her success is to live peacefully and only to be rich is not success and just enjoy your life. I love her success and she will do it surely, I thought. Her voice is good and I easily understood.
These are Report of our Presentation.
● Mr. Iku
He lived in Hokkaidoh because of his father’s job. He kept karate but he didn’t have any reasons for doing it.
○ Mr. Mizho
Everyone can change their charactor. When he was child he only played and hardly studied. But he changed myself and did well done in studing.
● Ms. Mariko
She practiced Shuji and learned it harder. Finally she could do it well. Also she learned effort is neccesary.
○ Ms. Shigeta
She is supported by her family. So she want to be a reliable person.
My Comment
I almost forgot this Presentation so I didn’t have enough preparation. I thought my voice was small volume and spoke so quickly. I should improve this point and need more practices.
We had Presentation about Self Improvement.
These are my impressions about them.
★Ms.Chihiro
i) Her Self Improvement is to have confidence.
ii) She spoke as usual and thinking. It is natural speed.
iii) I had some sympathies with her, specially she wants to get over to oversleep.
iv)Voice is good. Her preparation was not enough but she tried to meet her turn in Presentation. It was good job.
I think she had to come this class and prepare more details.
★Ms.Shigeta
i) Her Self Improvement is to have funny ability.
ii) She spoke frequently.
iii) She performed with joy and try not to look her script as possible as she could.
iv) Voice is good.
She look our eyes so I felt friendly. I could feel her passion to talk to anyone.
★Mr.Kishita
i) His Self Improvement is to be smart.
ii) He spoke thinking, I thought.
iii) He was unlikely to use proper words so wants to cultivate his skills. I thought he has high aspiration.
iv) I thought his voice is little small volume.
He used many difficult words so I hardly understood. So I want to him to speak with easy English or more quantity.
★Mr.Ryota
i) His Self Improvement is to be intelligence.
ii) He spoke without looking his script so much.
iii) He wants to be English teacher in future. I felt how firm his will.
iv) His voice is just volume. He had prepare well and I felt afford from his behavior.
It is good to have future myself and learn to various knowledge.
And Me
My Presentation is lack of preparation and practice. I should have said concrete idea. I only told my problems…. So I have to prepare and make speech longer than this time.
I love chololate very much since I was child and often eat them even if it caused me some acne…. Of those, I like meiji’s chocolate the best. So I introduce about some of them.
This is basic meiji’s chocolate and not only delicious but also elegance.
But these days, there are new product!
This is strawberry chocolate and are released for the first time in 2 years. I really want it and it is in my refrigerator always.
It tastes sweet and sour. And bar is also pink! So cute!!
Its taste is matcha! Of course it tastes match, Japanese green tea. It is bitter and adult taste, I thought. This taste may be fresh for foreigner but they’ll like it possibly.
So if you’re curious about them, please try and eat.
“I Need To Be In Love”
The hardest thing I’ve ever done is keep believing
There’s someone in this crazy world for me
The way that people come and go through temporary lives
My chance could come and I might never know
I used to say “No promises, let’s keep it simple”
But freedom only helps you say goodbye
It took a while for me to learn that nothing comes for free
The price I paid is high enough for me
[*] I know I need to be in love
I know I’ve wasted too much time
I know I ask perfection of a quite imperfect world
And fool enough to think that’s what I’ll find
[**] So here I am with pockets full of good intentions
But none of them will comfort me tonight
I’m wide awake at 4 a.m. without a friend in sight
I’m hanging on a hope but I’m all right

When I was in elementary school, my teacher liked them and told about us. At once I also like their music. It was so pop and nostalgic. Happeningly my father loved them and bought their cassette for me. Actually I heard the song after so long but it is timeless, I thought.
“The sun has already brought roses to your cheeks. I’m sure you’ll soon feel stronger.” (P.49)
This story is alike with The Secret Garden, I thought. I was impressed that nature healed their pain. I wanted to drink the goat’s milk. It sounded tasty.
Those days, it’s awful that there were outrageous adults. But Peter’s jealousy was charm and it happened to be good result, it was good job.
Sim, Lesley.(2006).The story of Heidi. LONDON: USBORNE
“My goodness, a unicorn,” cried Jack. “And it’s pink!” (P.37)
After reading, I came to want some unicorns and ride on it. 😉 They were so beautiful. I wandered why Ellie was friend with unicorn and whether unicorns really exsist or not?
I thought that every unicorn must be kind. Rare animals like him mustn’t catch or shut them in, I thought. They should be more loved and freer.

This movie is my favorite one. The title is “THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA.” Andrea(Anne Hathaway) was a writer in the making. She got a job for her dream comes true-an assistant of terrible editor, Miranda. Although a lot of difficulties attacked her, she overcame them and began new life.
I learned from it that it is wrong to betray the friends, colleague and subordinate only for own dreams. If I did so, I would lose many things.
Somehow, Anne is so cute! 😉
