The method to study English

I study English using some method. First, when I want to memorize words, I write, write, and write the words. After that, I ask my friends to check my memory with saying the memorized words. I do it over and over, I might get the words.
Second, when I want to learn grammar, I look for the proverbs which include the grammar that I want to master. Then I think about the proverb’s mean in Japanese deeply and translate the mean into English. And I compare the translated one and the proverb’s mean in English. Finally, I correct the mistaken point, especially, grammar point. After I continued the process many times, I possibly remember how to use the grammar.
Third, when I want to be a good speaker, I try to use English. I can’t learn how to speak without speaking. So I speak a lot in English or I cannot notice to my mistakes.
I think that better thing to study English is to repeat and repeat. It takes so long time. But I can learn little by little. Lastly, I believe that the best thing is NOT to give up. Believing that you can do is stronger than the Excalibur. So we have the strongest weapons in our hearts. Why don’t we use them?

Watch and Clock

Modern people can’t live without knowing the time. Most people think “What time is it now?” for many times in a day. So, almost everyone have watch or clock. Both of them notice us the time exactly if they are accurate ones. And like clocks, watches have various designs. Yet, there are many differences between clocks and watches. Although a clock is put on the decided place, a watch moves with your hand. And you can take off it whenever you want to do. But after you took off, the watch sometimes disappears, while a clock never gets lost. And there is a clear difference. Unlike clock, watch has only small style. However, smallness isn’t useless. In most cases, clock has only one or two functions, on the other hand, watch has more functions, for example, stopwatch, backlight, and showing the date.
In these ways, both of them have many attractive points. Which do you want to choose?

The disease in the tropics invades us!

There are a lot of diseases which frighten us in the world. One of them is malaria. Malaria is the disease in the area where is hot throughout a year. When people caught this illness, he or she has a fever and suffer from it. In the worst, he or she finally dies. Mosquitoes have the virus. Recently, the global warming is getting worse. If it isn’t improved, the tropics spread. And in the same instance, the mosquitoes’ habitat spread too. It means, malaria also spreads in a lot of countries. Japan is one of the countries. I don’t want to be frightened such a situation.

Overweight Problem

In Australia, the number of people with normal BMI is decreasing gradually in both of male and female. On the contrary, the number of people with overweight or obese BMI is increasing. The graph shows that 45% of males were normal in 1995. But in 2004-2005, normal males’ rate was under 40%. On the other hand, obese and overweight males’ ratio increased over 10% collectively.
This is a serious situation. Obese or overweight people are easier to contract various diseases than normal. Especially, physically inactive people of them have the risk of getting diseases, for example, heart disease, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, even cancer. They are life threatening directly. What happens if the situation goes on like this? Such diseases prevent obese or overweight people from having long lives themselves. That means the average life span. This is an acute problem not only in Australia, but also all over the world. Medical service is improving; however, overweight is the personal problem. So there is only a way to keep our health condition better by ourselves. If we neglect our own condition, nobody helps us. The important thing not to get obese and overweight is to consider that we are obese or not. And much better thing is to continue exercises and refrain from sugar. If we don’t take care of ourselves, we get the worst condition and finally die.

Traveling

I have never gone abroad. The farthest place I have been to is Hokkaido. It was the school trip when I was a senior high school student. I went to Sapporo, Otaru, Asahikawa, and Tokachi. I saw the Clock Tower and ate ramen in Sapporo, I ate sushi in Otaru, I went to Asahiyama Zoo in Asahikawa, and I climbed Mt. Tokachidake in Tokachi. I cannot decide the best memorial place. But if a ranking has to be made, Sapporo might be the best. I walked around Sapporo with my four friends as we like. We were very relaxed and laughing throughout that time. It was my special experience whatever is said by anyone. If possible, I want to go to other places with the friends, for example, Okinawa, Nagoya, Tokyo, or foreign countries.

IMPORTANCE OF PLANNING EARLY

This Golden week, my family except me planed to come to Shimonoseki. But, the plan was too all at once and imperfection. Therefore, their hope broke and disappeared.
My mother was saying to me to go back to my hometown. In fact, I didn’t want to do. However, my mother never receipts my opinion. So I had to prepare for going back. Then, I spread my cloths in my room to choose. In other words, my room was in a mess. It was just a starting line of my little hell.
May second, the day before my going back day, my mobile phone rang suddenly. It was my mother.
“Hello, Jico. Have you finished preparing?” My mother said.
“No, I haven’t. But I’m going to finish preparing. Are there any problem?” I replied.
“To tell the truth, your sister wants to go to Shimonoseki and see your room.” At the moment, I couldn’t speak anything.
“W, w, what are you saying? I can’t permit to do such a thing!” I resisted desperately.
“Oh, why is it? Do you know who pays for your apartment rent?” I could say only “It’s you.” I thought I had to think the measure of excuse. In fact I didn’t have to do that. All of hotels around Shimonoseki had no vacancy. If my mother had more perfect plan, I had to show my miserable room. I think they should have told me much earlier.

My Uni. Life

Now, my life is composed by a lot of thing, lesson, friends, circle activity, part time job, cooking, and so on.
Cooking is important to keep our health; however, I don’t do it very much. The reason why is that I have few spare times. Recently, I am busy for part time job. Circle activity is good to communicate with many people, including all of seniors, colleagues, and younger students. I enjoy it by myself every time. I can make friends in it. I like talking with my friends about being nothing. I usually go for a class with some friends. But unfortunately, I’m not good at studying. So I am often helped by them.
I like the present life. It is because I can try to enjoy many things as much as possible. The university life is only once throughout my life. So I want to enjoy the life heartily!
