What I think about blogging

My blog was made from the university for the first time. I didn’t like writing about myself on the net well. But I can make my own blog which seems to be me.
I can see other’s diaries on blog and know people all over the world. At first, I didn’t like it but gradually became happy. I can make my blog which I like and add many things.
We can know many people and things on blog and also comment a post which we are interested in. It’s hard for me to post every day but I should post many or like every day.

We depends our cell phone. We must use these with great care. We should not perpetrate a crime and be not to be perpetrated a crime.

5th Essays: My Three Languages

I’ll show you about my language learning history. It’s about three languages, Japanese, English and German. I’m Japanese, so I always use Japanese. Next, I learned English for the first time when I was in a nursery school. Then, I learned German when I was fresh person.

The first, I learned how to read and write in a nursery school. Then, we have had Japanese classes since junior high school students. We learn reading, speaking, writing and listening and I think mainly reading and writing. In reading, we read our textbooks. In writing, we practice kanji and learn the contents of stories and literary works. Then, we learn grammar of modern Japanese and classic. We must understand and use correct Japanese.

The second, I spoke English in a nursery school because a teacher who could speak English was there, so I took a class. I was so fun and used English which was taught at home. And I started to learn English when I was in the fourth grader because my friends learned English. I went till a second grader at junior high school. English which I learned by junior high school was also reading and writing, mainly. We read our textbooks and learned grammar and vocabulary. English which I learned in a senior high school could learn speaking and listening than ever. Also, we learned more grammar and vocabulary. At first, I started to study English because it was a new subject and my friends learned. But this experience was good for me. I was very interested in English and wanted to go abroad and communicate with English. I took Eiken, learned English from a Canadian and went to English conversation classes. I still study English in university. In university, I can study writing, reading, speaking and listening. I’m lack of listening ability and I must study it more. Reading can learn things which don’t learn yet and we can have opportunity of speaking. I want to go America or Australia as first as possible I can because I have never been abroad. I’d like to work with English in the future.

The third, I decided to learn German in university because it’s used in many fields. I could learn reading and grammar. German had many words which be similar to English and I had easy to memorize words. We learned German with cassette tapes and listened to correct German. It is right for me to learn German because German words are in other classes. Though I don’t study German now, I think to have another look at it.

As I have said, I have ever studied three subjects. Japanese is my mother tongue and I always use Japanese. Japanese has kanji, hiragana and katakana, and it seemed to be difficult for other country’s people. English is so important in modern society and a common language in the world. It will be useful us in this society. German is useful in my classes. I go abroad and want to study English more.

Good and Bad points

Using the computer has good points and bad points. I tell you two good points and two bad points.

At first, good points of using the computer are that we can know much information in an instant and communicate with people around the world. The computer supports our lives.

Next, bad points of it are that we may be implicated in a crime, and our ability and eyesight may be fail .We must remember about these.

We always use the computer though it has good and bad points. The computer is essential for everyday life. But we must be careful. We must use the computer well.

4th Essays: "i, ROBOT"




My recommending movie is “I ROBOT”. In this movie, robots had three rules and lived with human. A robot had a problem. The three rules was the key. A leading actor of this one was Will Smith. This movie was powerful and interesting.

The establishment was in Chicago in 2025. One of five people used a domestic helper robot. Car ran with automatic drive and parking areas were saving spaces because cars were put away with standing. Computer give- and- take didn’t use a keyboard and mouse. People communicated by an audio system and computer had an audio response system. This one expressed the near future and I was so excited this life and things. How will real 17 years later be? It may be something in this movies.

Robots for domestic use spread as human’s partner. One after another, new robot appeared and was about to greet new robot society. That time, Dr. Alfred Lanning was killed. A suspect was the latest NS- 5 model robot “sonny”. But robot will not injure a parson. Del Sooner in Chicago police and psychologist Dr. Susan Calvin pursued the mystery. …..It was “special” robot which wasn’t programmed the three laws.

Robot had “the three laws”.
1. Robot must not harm a parson
2. Robot must obey an order which was given by human
3. Robot must defend itself as far as robot wasn’t against the 1 and 2 laws
Robots were programmed this one and shared with human. Nothing must get into some troubles. But…
 
Will Smith was so cool and muscular. It was also excellent a figure who was ridding a
car in this movie. I like both his cool figure and smile. His smile was cute and I was cured.
He had many works. For example, “I AM REGEND” ”MIB” “The Legend of Bagger Vance” and so on. I don’t watch movies, videos and DVD well because a videocassette recorder was broken now. But I don’t plan to buy new one now. His works look so interesting and want to watch them some day. He is one of the famous actors in the world.

In this movie, many robots appeared like cockroaches and I was surprised at the scene. They were expressionless faces and had all same faces. They stood in the room. And they had three laws. Will Smith has many works and they are great hits. I think that he is cool than anything else. Please watch his works.
