BR1-14: The olympic games

[Every four years since 1896, except during times of war, the best sportsmen and sportswomen in the world have met together for the Olympic Games.](p.1)

The Olympic game is the greatest sports meeting in the world. The first Olympians were gods. The Greeks who lived 3,000 years ago told stories about the competitions between the gods on the mountain of Olympus in northern Greece. The history of the Olympic Games is very long. I am looking forward to watch it on TV every day. My father said me “you go to see the Olympic game before you are dead. It will be amazing experience for you.” So I want to go to see the Olympic game some time.

 

There are many sports in the Olympic. I like to see the track and field because I was a member of the track and field team at junior high school. Usain Bolt’s run made everyone in the world very exciting and amazed. He updated the own new world record. He run is the fastest in the world and his enemy is not exist so I want to see his rival in next Olympic game. In old days, it was held in Tokyo and my father saw it. I want to meet the best player in the world. Among the Olympic game hold, the country is very lively I want people in the world to know about Japanese culture and good points of Japan.

BR1-13: The cinema

[A visit to the cinema was something really special to look forward to.](p.1)

Today it is possible to buy and see the videos and watch a film everywhere. Everyone in the world liked to watch the movie since a very long time ago. Thanks for advancement of technology, we can watch the film with 3D and Blu-ray. We can see the movie in a more high-quality if I watch it in Blu-ray. 3D film is very powerful so we can enjoy the film at home. These days there are a lot of 3D films. After a long time I want to see the 3D films in cinema. Mickey Mouse, Tom and Jerry, Popeye, Bugs Bunny. All these famous cartoon characters began their lives as simple pictures on paper. These animations are very famous in the world so the animations inventor is very good. Disney movies are loved by many people in the world. I loved it since I was child. I want to make something to be loved by many people in near future and I want to see more movies at movie theater. Unfortunately the opportunities that we see the movie at the movie theater was reduced but I like to see the movie in the theater so I go to see the movie there.

BR1-12: Night Hunt

[When those young animals grow up, they must learn how to live in the wild delta of the Okavango.](p.4)

One young serval cat is ready to begin this education. He’s going out on one of his first independent experiences. Serval cats hunt for food alone, and in the dark of night.

The wild animals have to live on their own when they were born. It is very difficult for human to live on their own so they are very courage. We cannot live without someone’s help. There are a lot of enemies for wild animals so they also must fight them. There is no enemy for human so we can grow in safe. We must emulate animal of such a point.

I was a member of the Japanese archery club when I was in a high school so I hope to be able to hunt the animal. But the reality is not sweet. If I have a bow, I would caught by the police.

I wanted to live by hunting in old age so I want to live the country that we do not get caught even if we hunt.

BR1-11: Water Power

[What can we do to stop wasting water?](p.24)

Without water, no human, animal, or plant could survive. We have long used water for washing, growing food, and raising animals. Water has also been used as a means of transportation, as a source of recreation, and as a household tool. But too much water can be a bad and dangerous thing.

Water is very important for us and it is necessary resource to live. We had said that don’t too use water since we were children. If we do not so, our future will be not exist.

These days there are many accidents in the sea and about the water. The nature is important and dangerous for us. Accident that the children drown in the sea and river will rise. We have to think the water is dangerous. Tohoku earthquake had deprived many lives. We have no way to do is to natural disasters. We must be careful from the usual.

BR1-10: Australia and New Zealand

[Playing (and watching) sport is a very omportant part of life in both countries.](p.26)

Water sports are especially popular; in Australia seventy-five percent of the population lives not more than eighty kilometres from the coast, and in New Zealand nowhere is more than 125 kilometres from the sea so almost everyone learns to swim, and surfing and sailing are also popular.

My hometown is Amakusa that in Kumamoto. Amakusa is the island that surrounded by the sea so I like to swim in the sea since I was child. I am interested in foreign culture. I want to surf in the sea and do the barbecue. It is comfortable to spend because the weather is warm.

My parents went to Australia in the honeymoon. It seemed that they are very happy. The koala was very pretty in the zoo and the dish was very delicious. They said that surfing was very difficult for them but the fishing is very interesting. Australia and New Zealand have no four seasons different from the Japan. The people in Australia spend Christmas Day at the beach. I think that culture of other countries is very interesting. Reading this book, I want to study other country’s culture and the habit.

BR1-09: I, ROBOT

[No human had left the Earth and traveled into space. And space stations did not exist.](p.5)
 

Reading this book, it was very interesting. Machine is necessary thing for human. They can do things that human cannot do and the machine is not tired different from human. So they are very necessary things for the company and factory. Human life will become easy to move living for machine’s development. But the communication is not necessary. Human can communication others in animals. It is unique point for human. If the communication is lost, the human characteristic is eliminated. It is very lonely thing. The machine’s developments give us good things and bad things.

There are many movies about the machine. I recommend some movies about the machine. First, it is A.I. that Steven Spielberg directed. This movie is the stage the near future advanced global warming. Watching movie I felt human selfishness and it is not unrelated for them. I was able to learn the importance of love from this movie. Please watch this movie. 

Second it is Pacific Rim. This is the story of the robot which riding human fight to giant organisms emerges from the Pacific Ocean. The action is very cool and interesting. You must want to ride on the robot. When you want to courage, please look at this movie.

BR1-08: Our green future

[What would happen if we continued using the Earth's natural resources as if there were no tomorrow?](p.7)

Today Earth's resources have continued to decline by air pollution and global warming. We cannot continue to live without nature. There is the problem that waste of Mt.Fuji and reactor problem. There are many problems in Japan.

Nature is not necessary for us but it will be sometimes very dangerous thing. For example it is Tohoku earthquake. A lot of people were killed by this earthquake. It is continued reconstruction now. I think this earthquake is happened by global change. We have to treat the Earth more carefully. The resources are not infinity so we must do for the Earth. Everyone has to think we must do for the Earth. I had participated in clean-up activities of the region. While talking to my neighbors and I pulled weeds. It was the experience that is interesting and precious. I think I want to increase such opportunities. We can enjoy talking to neighbors and clean the region.155

BR1-07: Star wars the clone wars

[Now that dream seemed closer than ever](p.47)

 I like this series of movie very much. I was interested in planet since I was child. This movie makes me exiting. I think everyone wants to know about planet. I want you to read this book.

There are many jedi who can use the Force. The Force is a strange energy in all things and they do not use guns, they fight with lightsabers. Their fight is very exciting and cool. My friend recommends me in high school. He has a game of this story and we were playing this game after school. This story was made in old days but it is popular in the world. This story’s main character is Anakin skywalker who is very strong and kind. I want to be this person sometime.

If I go to the planet, I will go on a trip in the planet with my friend. There are many stories written by the planet but I want you to watch this movie.

BR1-06: The Wizard of Oz

[Nothing much. I just visited the Land of Oz.](p.59)

Reading this book, this story is very interesting. There is a Scarecrow which has no brain, Lumberjack which has no heart and a cowardly lion in this story. They start a journey to look for an insufficient thing to them. They found their insufficient thing on their journey but they are things which they have the beginning.

It is difficult to look for the lacking thing in themselves. I think I want to look for these things like them. Everyone thought such a thing.

This story is very famous all over the world. I read the book when I was a child. I want to be a wizard and I want to do something for my family and friends. I don't know the lacking thing for me now so I can't look for it. I want to know more about the world. I think I can understand the thing that I need when I do such a thing.

BR1-05: X-MEN 2

[Storm was onme of Professor X's mutant team called the X-Men.](p.8) I like this action movie series very much. I often watch DVDs on my holiday. I especially like a action movies. These movies make me so exciting and this movie is one of them. There are many mutants around the world. They are people with special powers. There are a lot of different kinds of special power. For example Professor X can read minds and also use his power over people's minds. Logan, he is sometimes called Wolverine, he is very strong. Metal claws come out of his hands and he has metal through his body. Some mutants do a good thing for human, and the others do a bad thing. Their goal is coexist with human. Reading this book, I want a special power like them. If I am mutant, I will do a lot of good things for human and I want to make many friends of human and mutant. There are many series of this movie and I want to watch other story of this movie. I want you to watch this movie.

BR1-04: Romeo and Juliet

[Oh,Romeo,Romeo!Why do you have to Romeo?.](p22.)

This phrase is very famous so I think everyone knows it. This story is tragedy written by William Shakespeare who is England playwright. I am studying about this book in the other class so I chose this book.

Reading this book, I was sad and especially the last scene was shocking. Romeo think Juliet was dead and he was died in her grave by drinking poison. Juliet was awakened from suspended animation after he died has committed suicide by the dagger of Romeo.

This story was very difficult for me to read. I think Romeo and Juliet should have fled from each other's house. If I am in their position, I will do such a thing but such a thing was to not to be absolutely in this era so I think they are poor. I was relieved to be born in this day. Reading this book, I think my girlfriend is very important.

BR1-03: spider-man2

[I love her. But she doesn't know-she can never know. She can't be part of my life.](p.6)





This story's main character is Peter Parker who is spider-man. He has a girlfriend named MJ. She doesn't know what he is a spider-man. Her dream is an actress and her house is next to Parker's house.





Parker love her since he was a child. He protects MJ and New York from danger every day. I think that he is very cool because he is protecting the town from danger while doing reporter's work. I want to be a person like him. I would like to be a strong person and I want to protect my girlfriend.





This movie is one of the movies that I recommend. I like a action movie so I like this series. I watched the movie in the movie theater and I was very moved so I want you to watch this movie and this series. I think that you would like to be spider-man.

BR1-02: Deep blue

[Many cultures have such a close relationship with the sea it becomes part of their social identity](p.8)

I like this sentense because I find out that a sea was very important things for human from the past. My hometown is Amakusa in Kumamoto. Amakusa is the island encircled by the sea so the sea is very important resources. I like the sea since I was child. I play at the sea with my father in free time. I dug some shellfishes and I went fishing. I picked up some garbages in the sea and I was commended at the school. The sea is the important resource for the world and we have to be doing importantly.

I am interested in the deep sea. This place is not elucidated conversantly. There are many unique creatures in the deep sea. There was a shark of 20 meters named megalodon before. There are many facinating creatures other. I want to know about the deep sea and I want you to know it more.

BR1-01: Mount Fuji

[quote] (p. ##)


There is a national geographic photographer named Karen Kasmauski. She talks about why she thinks Mount Fuji is such an important mountain for Japanese people. She feels that it may be viewed from almost anywhere around it. Another reason for Fuji's importance in Japanese culture is that some people feel that Mount Fuji is a goddess.

I think Mount Fuji is important for Japanese people like this author. There are a lot of tourist spots around Mount Fuji. It is known from foreign countries as a Japanese symbol. I have seen it when I was in a high school trip. It was very big and beautiful. I would like to climb the mountain sometime. I want Mount Fuji to be popular all over the world and the tourist who comes to Japan become more. Mount Fuji is drawn by many painters. Many children know Mount Fuji. I would like to be importantly as a Japanese symbol.
