"Would you marry me?"

I do want to marry, of course not now but in the future :=) I do not know why I have such a strong desire of marry. My parents are good relation, they talk every night and often go to shopping together, so I may be effected by them? I do not know the reason accurately... Sometimes, I hear the phrase "I do not get marry forever", then I think that why they think so or they are so strong that they can live alone!!! Nobody know about their future, so I also do not know about my future. Therefore, there is no guarantee that I can get marry :-( However, I believe I can do and become happier!!!

An Election

Do you remember I wrote about an election? Yesterday, a mail had come and I saw I could go to vote!!! when I will be 20 year-old, I will go to vote. It is very rare occurrence, isn't it? June finish up to today, and July will start from tomorrow!!! It is so fast :-C I change my mind and I want to start July fresh mood!!!

FIFA World Cup 2010 #2

Japan played a mutch with Paraguay on July 29th. Both team had never become best 8, so both did hope to win. I was not so interested in the play, I did not watch earnestly. However, I finished what I had to do, I became to watch the mutch. The match was equal, all players did hard. Therefore, I concentrate my attention on watching TV. The rasult was Paraguay won, but all Japan members did their best and the game was almost a drawn match. I will say the members you are the proud of Japan!!! Thank you for dream and moving!!! GOOD JOB :-)))))

Sagamihara Festival

Last year, our badminton circle sold frankfurters in the festival. Our grade members did a first experience at the time, so seniors led us. However, this year we lead juniors(because sagamihara campas members are almost 1st or 2nd grade students, so we 2nd grade students shoulder the responsibility of main part even if seniors also take part in the festival) and I am in charge of sagamiha festival in the circle. Yesterday I took part in an explanatory meeting, the preparation already became!!! I like these festivals so I am looking forward to the days from now ;)

Memory of High School

A high school, which I went to, was very strict. Therefore, when I entered the school, I did not like very much the school. However, I spent at this school, I got politeness, and I could study more (because my class was a special entrance higher-level university, there were a lot of supplementary lessons). Now, I am proud of the school and I do think it was good for me to go to the school :-)

FREEDOM

I bought a book when I watched Alice, the book is not nobel or literature, it is just photos and words book. Before I met the book, I did not know the author Ayumu Takahashi at all and I was not interested in like this books, but once I saw some pages, I really moved his words!!! His words give me power and I will be very positive :-))) Therefore, I decided to buy it soon even if I had never bought such kind of book. I do recommend this book for everyone!!!

Tea and coffee ‘protect against heart disease’

Source of the Article:
“Tea and coffee ‘protect against heart disease’” BBC NEWS 18 June 2010

Who? -----the Netherlands (the Journal of the American Heart Association/ the British Heart Foundation)
What? ----drinking several cups of tea or coffee a day appears to protect against heart disease
When? ----18 June 2010
Where? ---the Netherlands
Why? ------not clear
How? ------a 13-year-long study

Vocabulary:
Abstain (verb): to decide not to do or have 絶つ、控える
Substantially (adv.): mainly 実質的に(は)、おおむね
Simultaneously (adv.): at the same time 同時に
Inflammatory (adj.): causing or involving inflammation 炎症(性)の
Moderation (noun): the quality of being reasonable and not be extreme 節度

Summery:
A 13-year-long study from the Netherlands has found that drinking several cups of tea or coffee a day appears to protect against heart disease. Those who drank more than 6 cups of tea a day cut their risk of heart disease by a third, the study of 40,000 people found. Consuming between 2 to 4 coffees a day was also linked to a reduced risk. But having a cigarette with your coffee could completely cancel any benefits, while drinking lots of tea in front of the TV for hours on end without exercising is unlikely to offer your heart much protection at all. Therefore, not only moderate consuming several cups of tea of drink but also your action for health will serve you from heart disease.

My opinion:
When I saw the news at first time, I was very surprised. It was because to drink tea or coffee is daily act, so I did not image these acts effect to protect against heart disease. Moreover, I was surprised at there are a lot of researchers, and they always study to discover some things. Therefore, I think that I will drink more tea or coffee than barley tea. Of course with exercising!

Question:
Are you interested in for keeping good health? If you say ‘Yes’, what do you do for it? If you say ‘No’, why are you not interested in your health?
Do you drink several cups of tea or coffee a day? How much?

'Smoked' flavour food concerns

'Smoked' flavour food concerns BBC NEWS. 08 January 2010

Who? -----The European Food Safety Authority
What? ----Smoked flavour food may be toxic to humans.
When? ----Not written.
Where? ---European Union
Why? -----EFSA researched.
How? -----

Vocabulary:
Toxic –concerning poison; poisonous
Particle –a very small piece
Vapour –a mass of very small drops of liquid in the air, for example steam
Solvent –a substance, especially liquid, that can dissolve another substance
Deliberately –carefully

Summary:
The authority looked at 11 smoke flavourings commonly used in the European Union. It says several of the flavourings are dangerously close to levels which may cause harm to humans. The European Commission will now establish a list of smoke-flavouring products that are safe for use in food. The smoke flavourings are products which can be added to foods to give them a "smoked" flavour, as an alternative to traditional smoking. EFSA says it "cannot rule out concerns" about a flavouring called Primary Product AM 01, which is obtained from beech wood. The wood particles are burnt under controlled conditions and the hot vapours are dissolved in a solvent. The Panel says the use of the substance "at the intended levels is a safety concern".
Klaus-Dieter Jany, the chair of EFSA's expert panel on flavourings (CEF Panel) said: "The Panel based its conclusions on the limited data which are currently available as well as conservative - or cautious - intake estimates. "The Panel expressed safety concerns for several smoke flavourings where intake levels could be relatively close to the levels which may cause negative health effects. "However, this does not necessarily mean that people consuming these products will be at risk as, in order to be on the safe side, the consumption estimates deliberately over-estimate intake levels." A spokesperson for the Food and Drink Federation which represents smoked food manufacturers said: "We shall be working with FSA and the European Commission in the coming weeks to consider how smoke flavourings may continue to be used safely, noting EFSA's previous statements in respect of smoke flavourings that their safety is relatively high compared to traditional smoking methods."

My opinion:
I was surprised at the article, because the foods change to toxic only being smoked. I thought, whatever we can eat, we can eat them. Although, the article told me the wonder of foods.

Questions:
1. How did you feel from this article?
2. Do you like smoked foods?
3. What kind foods do you like?

Poem of Robert Frost 2

The poem may talk many LIFE forms. We people always live, but in the life there are not only happy events and good things but also many sad things and bad happening... However, life consists of including these bad things. Whatver happens in your life, it is a life. The poem means a lot of messages, so try to read and feel some messages!!!

Stopping By Woods on a Snowy Evening

Whose woods these are I think I know.
His house is in the village though;
He will not see me stopping here
To watch his woods fill up with snow.

My little horse must think it queer
To stop without a farmhouse near
Between the woods and frozen lake
The darkest evening of the year.

He gives his harness bells a shake
To ask if there is some mistake.
The only other sound's the sweep
Of easy wind and downy flake.

The woods are lovely, dark and deep.
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep.

Poem of Robert Frost

I think the poem gives us some messages whose mean is interpreted by each person. During live, we should choose a lot of selections, but the results are not always good. However, if the choice is not good, the select is not wrong. The important thing is after it and your thinking... You do not become frightened for selection :-)

The Road Not Taken

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;

Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,

And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I-
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.

A Student for Examination

This year, my younger sister is a student for entrance examination. She had belonged to tennis club and relently she retired from the club. I think she has a big nature, and I respect this point of her, because I could not continu to belong to any sports club. Now, she became to study in earnest. But it is difficult for her to study so hard, because she had concentrated upon tennis and did not study so hard I think... Just about two years ago, I was a student for entrance examination. I studied hard, it was difficult days. Therefore, I see her feelin very much(may be I am the best person who can understand her), so I want to help her (`・ω・´) I hope she would go as she wants to!!!

Convey to Thanks

I live with my family, so I always meet my parents. However, I cannot convey my thanks to parents especially Father. As you know, my faminy consists of five people: four are women and the only one is man. So Father may feel small... However, Father thinks our sisters' and works so hard, I feel them a lot. But I cannot say thank you for him honestly. Can you say your feeling for your father honestly? My father's birthday is July 31, so I am thinking that I will present for him and to convey my feeling ;-) Do you have any advaice??

My Favorite Actors

They are my favorite actors. The upper is Satoshi Tsumabuki, the middle is Keisuke Koide and the lower is Kohtaro Tanaka. They are so cool :-) Do you know about them? I think, Satoshi and Keisuke are famous but Koutaro is not so famous as them. The cause I knew Kohtaro was watching TV drama Sekachu. His smile was so my favorite type!!! Then, I became to like him. I am not an enthusiastic fan for each actor, so I do not act for them. However, when I talk to my ideal person, I introduce them. When I told them, I was said "I thought your type... ;-)". Do you see my ideal person :-)? All of them look like kind, don't them?

Presentation

I am very shy and I do not familiar with speak in front of some people, so I am poor at presentation &-| When I did reallyenglish, some ideas were introduced, so I quote it and I will try to them.

The key to an effective presentation is planning.

First, analyze your audience. How can you make the information useful to them? Anticipate what they want to know. Then, clarify your goal. What do you want your listeners to do at the end of your presentation — do you want them to agree with your opinion, purchase your product, or take some other action? Once you have done these things, you can begin planning what you will say.

Your introduction is the most important part of your presentation. You need to make a powerful first impression. The audience will make instant decisions about you based on your appearance, your words, and the sound of your voice. In fact, some experts say that the impact of a presentation is 10% from what you say, 40% from how it sounds, and 50% from how it looks. Try to find an opening comment that will get their attention and then give them an idea of what your presentation will cover. Be sure to tell your audience why the presentation will be useful for them. Then your audience will give more careful attention to your ideas.

In the body, or main section, of your presentation, talk about your ideas step by step. Be sure to plan examples and explanations for any terms that are unfamiliar to your audience and, at the end of each section, give a short summary of what you just said. Give some thought to the transitions between your ideas. You need to show how the ideas are connected so that your audience can follow your thinking.

The conclusion of your presentation is a time to bring all your ideas together. Remind your listeners of your main point and tell them why they should take action. To end your presentation, choose a story or a quote that they will remember. Then thank them for their attention and answer any questions they have.

Careful planning takes time, but it will make you more confident and effective on the day of your presentation.

I want to be good at presentation, and I want to convey my feelings for others in English more fluently...

The Noticeable Group

I sometimes listen to this song sung by AKB48. The group consists of only girls. At first, I did not like AKB48, because there are many members!!! So I did not commit to memory (mey be almost all people are same as me). But, recently there was an election of popular in this group. It was so surprising, because the result was not as expected. Before the election, a girl whoes name is Atsuko Maeda always took charge of center, but the result was Yuuko Ohshima was the first and Atsuko Maeda was the second. I thought many people were surprised at the result... I am not a fun, but some songs are good, so I listen to their songs. By the way, I like Minami Takahashi ;-)

Animal

Do you like animals? I like animals, especially puppy and kitten :-D They are so cute and shake off my tiredness... I think people who like animals are not bad person. A few month ago, I went to an aquarium with friends of mine. (The members were 4 girls, we are the same junior high school.) All animals were so cute, and the show was very exciting!!! I did not so interested in an aquarium before, but I thought to go to see many animals relaxes me :)

Recently, I have a lot of homeworks, and I could not go to bet early :'-( To sleep is very very important for me!!! So I want to sleep without alarm... However, almost all my friends also cannot sleep well, because of homeworks. Therefore, I want to keep going to the end as my friends, I do not lose my friends (As you know, I am a person hates to lose(｀･ω･´)) I do not become sleepy about 1~2 a.m. Is it good? But it is nearly summer vacation, so I want to do my best for all☆

←She is Asami Usuda. She is so cute;-)

Manazashi Sung by Honey L Days

I like this song Manazashi sung by Honey L Days, recently. This song a signature tune for a TV drama Tumbling. My sister watched the drama, and I heard this song by chance. Before I knew this song, I did not this group at all. Therefore, I want to listen to other their songs, too :-)

Part-Time Job

Today, I did part-time job. I take charge kitchen part, today, I made pizza. On Sundays and Saturdays, a lot of guests came to eat. So I made about 45 pizza from 11~15 8-( So I became so tired!!! To work is hard, and I sometimes came to desire to get rid of it. But to work part-time job gives me a lot of feels, and bring up me.

Today Was...

Today, there is a circle activity for the first time in a long time. Therefore, I was full of motivation the day before. But I overslept 8-( I planed to wake up until 10, but I woke up at 11!!! Recently, I did homework until late and I could not sleep well, so I was very tired... But I promised that the clerks of Sagamihara Festival would discuss in this day, so I went to Ichigao. When I walked the way to the gym, I thought that why I went to the gym I did not play badminton (I was late so I did not bring these load like shoes or a racket)... At the same time, I thought I had a sense of responsibility by self :P The discussion was great and I spent good time, I thought it was good to go to Ichigao. Next month, there is no activity :-< So I am sad... However, there is the last meeting of term, so I am looking for it(＾ω＾)

It Was Very Strange Weather...

It was very strange weather yesterday, from morning to noon was hot and sunny, but in evening it would be dark and cold, and finally it would be rain :-(!!! I know it is rainy season but a day before yesterday was hot and good weather, so I doubt it is in the rainy season... The rainy season, I can not be very happy, because it is dark... But after the rainy season, it will be summer. I like summer, because I feel summer (the hot and sunny days) gives me a power ;) It is not good for even me to continue very very hot days. But I am looking forward to coming summer☆

I Watched TRICK :)

June 17th, I went to the theater to watch TRICK!!! As you know, I wanted to watch this movie so I went to Sakuragicho after the 4th class. The people who watched TRICK was so few (may be about 10!!!), and I could chose a good seat. TRICK was so interesting so I recommend it. Do you want to know who came with me? Of course, I went to only one;) To go to watch movie alone is a little adult, isn't it?

FIFA World Cup 2010

Now, FIFA World Cup hold in South Africa. On May 14th, Japan vs. Cameroon, Keisuke Honda (his player's no. is 18) made a gool, after it, all Japanese members defended the point, and WIN!!! Japan is world rank 45th, and Cameroon is that 19th, so may be almost of the Japanese did not think Japan would win. Therefore, the Japanese bust get so excited when Japan made a point!!! Honestly, I was not so interested in FIFA World cup, but I would support JAPAN team. The next game is vs. Holland, Holland is the world rank is 4th, they are very strong team(:-( But Japan won the first game, so Japanese team members will play match with Holland with confidence;)

I Want to Watch Movies

Now, there are 3 movies which I want to watch.
The FIRST is Alice in wonder land , the story may be Alice's story and fantasy. In this movie, Johnny Depp plays strange person. The movie is 3D, so I think this is so exciting movie!!!The SECOND is TRICK, the comic became drama and movie. So the series are so popular, and so interesting (I have read comics and watch the drama:P)!!! So it must be fun, so I want to watch this!!! The LAST is Kokuhaku, this movie bases on the book written by Kanae Minato. This movie is mystery and may be a little fair... But the basic book was sold a lot and my mother is interesting in the movie, so I am also interesting in.


However, I do not have time to watch, so I cannot go to the theater...:'-( But time is the thing I make, isn't it? Therefore, I find free time and I want to go!!! Watching movie refreshes me;)

I Look Like...

Who looks like me? I have been said "You resemble OOO!" There are three persons who enter the OOO. The first is Masami Nagasawa. I was said "You resemble Masami Nagasawa!" by my aunt and a friend of mine. When I heard the phrase, I was so surprised and so grad:-)))))))) It is because, as you know, I like her very much!!! But at the same time, I did disagree with them!!! I had never thought that I look like her, I am not so cute...:-/ All my family thought same thing like me! So it is very very grad, but I do not agree with even a little...The second is Yui Aragaki, from a girl and some friends of mine were persuaded it. She is also cute and her style is very good, so I do not conform with her... I wonder she looks like me? Which part looks the same?? I also do not agree the opinion|:-|The last is Erena Mizusawa, from some friends of mine(the friends are same IE class!). Do you know her? She is eighteen-tear-old, and the only person who is young than me. She is not so famous, but the start she was known is when she played a heroin in Koizora drama. The friends said she and I alike around mouth:-X I did not think so, any linger I thought she was far from my face. So, when I was said that I look like her, I was so surprised!!!

Have you ever been said "You look like OOO!"? It may be unexpected person;) I want to know who is the resemble person for my friends...!?

Hair Gaves Us the Image

Hair gives the person's image for other persons, so I think it is important. Therefore, I will introduce these pictures. Of course, she is Masami Nagasawa (,I like her very much:)), she is an actress, so there are many chances she changes hair. Long hair, Short hair and there is the top front hair or not... Each type of hair looks good on her, but each image is not the same. Now I let hair grow, because of a coming-of-age ceremony next year, so I cannot cut and change hair. So I am thinking I will dye my hair or not. I have never dyed my hair, so it is a little risky but I want to a little... So it is interesting to change hair!!!

The First Driving

Today, June 13th, I drove at the first time. As you know, I finally got a car license on June 9th, but it was only start line... My father often drive and may like driving, so Father said "You should drive! If you do not drive, you will forget how to drive, and you cannot be going to drive.". And he made me drive tonight. I did not want to drive very much, because I do not hav a sense of (because I learned many add lessons:-<) and my family car is so big!!! So I was afraid of driving the car. Of course, I could not drive well, a few cars behaved badly for me, and I did not drive smoothly. But I am a person who do not like lose, so I did think I will drive a lot time and I want to be a smart driver!!! When I have free time, I drive, and I want to drive smoothly(｀・ω・´)!!!

Feel the Wind

I like a breeze, especially at this time. Present wind is so pleasant and fresh. It makes me relax and health. I feel the season from wind, each window has each smell, so I enjoy be exposed to the wind and the sound of wind;) If you did not feel so, it is good for you to feel wind more carefully, I think.

Fortune-Telling

There are a lot of fortune-telling for example a constellation divination, the tarot, dream divination, palmistry and so on. Do you believe in fortune-telling? Fortune-telling means 占い in Japanese. If I am asked the question, I cannot say Yes! or No... I like fortune-telling and I see a lot of them, but almost of them are not right I think(:-( However, it is so interesting, so I went to Chukagai with a friend of mine, and we had our palm read last year. Then, I was said many thing by a palmist, the result was not so bad (may be good!!!), I thought it was so mysterious. I think fortune-telling is a way or a hint to do or to decided for future. If you know some good fortune-telling, I want to know it, so please tell me!!!!!

To Write with a Brush ~Calligraphy~

I do not like my pen characters very much, but I like Shodo (Shodo is to write with a brush) and I like my brush characters! I had taken shodo lesson from a kindergarten to a junior high school student. I won a lot of prizes which are related to shodo :-) So I am proud of my shodo skill. When I do shodo, I concentrate and I write with my heart. There is black inc smell and peculiar atmosphere, I like it very much and I feel easy;) Now, I do not have a chance to use a brush, so I do not write with a brush:'-( It is so sad thing... But when I get a time, I will Shodo! It makes me so relax.

My Favorite Book

My favorite novel is Shinrei Tantei YAKUMO written by Manabu Kaminaga. The hero named Yakumo, who can see ghost by his light eye which is red. And he solve problems with the light eye. He is a so difficult person, but exchange between he and his surrounding people is very enjoyable, so I can read the book so first:-)

If you have a little interest, you should read YAKUMO. I recommend it plenty of confidence:-))))))))

My Favorite Comics

Today, I will introduce my favorite comics.

My favorite comic is Kimini Todoke drawn by Karuho Shiina. This comic, the stage is high school. The heroin named Sawako Kuronuma is so bashful, and she gives a bad impression. But one day, she meets the hero Shota Kazehaya, and he changes her impression a good impression. Many characters appear in this comic. They heap up the heroin and hero, and the story. The comic is so pure, so if you read, you can feel a student and will be happy. An addition, I like Aoi Hutari drawn by Karuho Shiina. This comic is also pure and interesting. Her picture is so cute, the point is also my recommend reason.

If you have time, it is good to read them:-D

A Driving Licence

Today, finally I get a driving licence!!! Do you remember the article I wrote the driving school? I started the school from February, but many problems happened, so I could not get the licence during spring vacation. While I went to the driving school, I was so busy, because I do homework, work part-time job, take part in the circle activity and go to driving school. But from today, I am released from the situation! Therefore, the licence is so special for me. Therefore, I will try to drive when I am free;)

Communication Types

There are many people and they always concern in people who are close to each other, especially. For example, people talk with friends, play baseball with teammates, and help to pass heavy stuff and so on every day. According to Uemura, the reason why people communicate with others consists of 8 desires, survival, co-operation, personal, social, practical, economic, information and play (2). Therefore, communication is necessary and very important in life. Then, communication can be divided into three types, intrapersonal communication, interpersonal communication and small group communication.

The first category is intrapersonal communication. This type is done by only one person. Many people think this communication is not in communication category, but this is one of communication style. According to Nobe, the purpose of intrapersonal communication is to think, reason, analyze and reflect (2). For instance, people wish persuade Dad to give money and wish a class to be finished earlier in heart are including in this type. These acts are ’monologue’. This type is free, so people can do this type of communication wherever and whenever they want to. This communication is a core for other communications.

The second communication is interpersonal communication. This type is done between two persons. The main style of this communication is conversation. Therefore, first impression, and nonverbal communication like facial expression, posture, gesture, tone of voice, touching, spacing and systematic use of time are important. There is a difference between men and women in face-to-face conversation. According to Ikeguchi and Yashiro, men are interested in information; women are interested in interaction (32). For example, while women talk about personal problems, men talk about impersonal information like sports, cars, computers, or hobbies. Therefore, when a girl and a boy are talking, an inconsistency may happen.

The final category is small group communication. Small group communication consists of three persons to ten persons. The common purpose of this communication is to share information, generate ideas, and solve problems and help. In this communication, people can share a specified place and talk with each other directly. According to Kume, who is a Rikkyo University teacher, this communication is influenced by each country’s culture (73). For example, in Japan people consider politeness important, so the Japanese often use polite expression. On the other hand, in North American people consider friendly important, so the North American speak friendly for everyone. Therefore, this communication indicates each peculiar culture.

In conclusion, there are three type of communication. First is intrapersonal communication which is by the self. Second is interpersonal communication which is between two persons. Finally is small group communication which is from three to ten persons inclusive. Each communication has a characteristic and is acted daily, so people should know each characteristic and use each merit. People communicate well, and get a good stimulus and wide field of views.
