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.

movie

There are a lot of movies which I want to watch in theater. I recommend some movies now. First it is The Avengers and it is very popular in the world. I watched it with my friends when I was in high school and it was very interesting. It is one of the most interesting action movies which I think. I was looking forward to the next film so I am so happy. I want to watch it early so why don’t you go to watch this movie with me?

 

The movie which I introduce next is Strayer’s Chronicle. It is the battle movie. Children are given some special ability by the absolute secrecy organization. This is because they cannot live longer. They were separated into two teams. One team believes future hope while another plan destruction in despair at the future. The former is team Subaru and the latter is team ageha. This movie is about their battle. When I watched it in notice of the movie, I think it was very interesting. I want to watch it with my friends because my girlfriend is not good at watching such action movies.

 

The movie which I introduce last is Umimachi diary. The story is about four sisters who live in Kamakura. I usually don’t watch peaceful movies such this movie but I want to watch it. This is because a lot of beautiful actresses appear in it. They are very famous actresses in Japan. I want to be healed to watch this movie.

Essay1-06: Review of the first episode of a TV drama

TV drama that I will introduce is Harpers Island. The story is survival suspense. It is very easy to watch this TV drama because it is a short story for all 13 episodes. I don’t recommend that a weak person watch this because there are a lot of cruel scenes. I think this drama was very interesting because the last scene was very shocking.

 

The story’s stage is Harpers Island that full of nature and there are few people. One day a miserable accident that killed 6 people happened on this island. The accident was settled because a police named Charlie Milnes shot the criminal named John Wakefield and he was dead. The wife of Charlie was killed by the criminal and the daughter named Abbie has a trauma because she saw her mother’s dead body.

 

Seven years later, because of the criminal’s death, the island had recovered composure. One couple was going to hold a wedding ceremony on this island. The bride and groom are Henry and Trish. Henry had lived in this island when he was child because of his father’s work so he decided to hold the party on this island. Trish is a daughter of the Wellingtons which are a wealthy family. It is very big chance for Henry. They love each other regardless of their family standing and the money but Thomas who is her father is opposed to her marriage. And the ship with two people, their friends and relative departs for Hapers Island. Everyone doesn’t know that the tragedy like seven years ago will be repeated.

 

Watching this drama, it was very interesting and I was not able to expect the real criminal until I watched the last scene. It is interesting that the thinking of a real criminal. I wanted to watch other survival suspense dramas after watching this drama. Please watch this drama if you are interested in such a drama.

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.

There are many artists who I like. I like Maroon 5 the best. They are very cool. The "sugar" is the best song that I think in their songs. The promotion video is very good and the song makes me very happy. They are very popular in the world. My sister likes them, too. She tried to go to the live of Maroon 5 but she could not go because they are so popular. I want to go their live sometime.

There are many their songs in my i-phone and I always listen it.

I want to go to his live sometime with my girlfriend.

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

movie

I often watch DVDs when I have a free time and I watch many kind of movies. For example action, fantasy, romance and horror. My favorite movie is action movie and it makes me exciting. I often go to a rental shop named TSUTAYA in Sannenzaka. I recommend some movie that you borrow in this shop.


I recommend this movie named Interstellar. I watched this movie in movie theater. This movie is about near future. In near future, human has been exposed to the crisis of destruction by death of plant and abnormal weather so astronauts travel a journey that human is survive to look for other planet.


This movie was very powerful and exciting in movie theater's screen and there is a dream of humanity. It can occur in reality so I became afraid. This movie's main character is very courageous. He fought to protect the human being and I want to have the mind like him. I think the planet is unexplained so it is interesting. Everyone in the world are interested in the planet. I want reserchers to reserch about planet.I want to study more.
