☆A HAPPY NEW YEAR☆

Hello everyone! A Happy New Year! How's it going? Recently, I spend the time with my family. So I am going to talk about the New Year holidays.

On January 1st, my family got up early in the morning to see the first sunrise of the year. To get up early in the morning is very tough for me, so it was very hard. However I got up early this year. The time the first sunrise of this year is 7:35. At the same time, I took a picture of the first sunrise.

After that, I and my family went to the Udo Shrine (鵜戸神宮). Do you know it? It is very famous for Miyazaki. Every year a lot of people visit this shrine and throw a small bead (運玉) to the hole. If your small bead is got in the hole, it is said that your wish will come true. So everyone tries many times till getting in. Of course I tried 14 times. However success is only one, so it was very regrettable. Also I drew a fortune slip. The result was "末吉". To be honest, I was not so happy. I began to be worried about this result *haha*.

Next, we went to the Aoshima Shrine (青島神宮). It is rare because it is located on the sea. Can you believe it? It is located on the sea, so we have to cross a bridge. When we cross a bridge, a strong wind blow, so we feel very cold. However it is good location, so it is also popular. I want you to go there by all means.

Last, we went to a shrine near my house. That is to say, we went around three shrines a day. That is called "三社参り" in Japanese. New Year's Day was very full day. Also I was very comfortable because it had been a long time since I had gone with my family.

Have a great year!

My Best Friends

Good evening everyone! How have you been? I am in my hometown, Miyazaki now. I really enjoy spending with my family and my friends. Today is the last day of 2008! So I am going to talk about recent occurrence.

On the morning of December 27th, I went back my hometown by highway bus. My mother picked me up. After that I had lunch with my family and went to a new shopping mall. It is the largest shopping mall in Miyakonojo.

On December 28th, I went out to eat lunch with my family. After that we went to 31 ice cream shop. We ordered ice creams one another. Then after getting back my house, I and my mother took a walk from my house to the second largest shopping center.

On December 30th, an alumnus of my junior high school and an alumna of my high school took place. In the daytime, an alumnae of my high school took place. It was an only girls' lunch. It has been a long time to see almost everyone, so I was very happy to see their face. Almost all of them has not changed but appearance a little bit. They have become very lovely. Since their characters did not change, so I was very happy and felt relieved. At that time, we enjoyed lunch and chatting with them. We chatted about recent occurrence, present life-style, friends, dreams, love and so on. Whenever I spend the time with them, I am always keeping smile, so my friends are very very funny!!! They are my best friends forever.
After that, the evening that day I went to an alumni of junior high school. I had some people who had not seen for a long time since my graduation of junior high school. Some people go to their university one after another now, and others work as a member of society now. I thought that I want to see in some years.

On December 31th, I spent a whole day with my family. That day is the last day of the year! Every year my family eat soba "年越しそば". My mother's handmade soba is very good! So some time I want to learn how to cook it and cook my soba.



Have the last day of the year!

So her mother suggested her to write a letter for the bakery. Lisa tried to write a letter but she left her room. However Corduroy thought that I can write a letter, so Corduroy wrote a letter and he mailed it in post. The next Saturday Lisa had cookies with more sprinkles. That night, Lisa and her mother went to the theater to watch a movie, but they discovered the lights were out. However she felt sleepy, so she could not write a letter. Corduroy wrote a letter in exchange for her. Also Corduroy posted it. Next time, the lights are turned on. Lisa and her mother noticed it. Finally Lisa wrote a letter for the radio station to request the song "Teddy Bear Bop". After few weeks, they could listen to their favorite song, so they were very happy.

I felt that Corduroy was very kind. Lisa and her mother would be helped, thanks to Corduroy. I thought that "Corduroy" is cloth when we often are able to see in winter. I wonder that bear stand for cloth in winter. So I want to search for that origin. This story was very good for me because it was excited in the continuation. I finished reading this story.

Actually, we have 206 bones in our bodies. Our bones are hidden under our skin. We are able to feel how they form or shape. When we were born, our bones also small. The smallest bones are inside our ears. As our bones grow up, we also grow up. In the opposite, do you know the biggest bones? The biggest bones are in our legs. Our hearts are protected by flat bones in the middle of our chests. Our ribs protect our lungs and other squishy parts. In head, we have skull. It covers brain like a helmet.

Bones are hard and strong, but we break them by accidents. However our bones can get well, so our bodies are very mystery.

We look at a lot of stars in summer and in winter. However they are not always the same. We can see some of them in summer, but others are seen in winter. However, there are some stars that we can see both summer and winter. It is the Big Dipper. To look for it, we can use compass. If the Big Dipper is found, a compass points to the north. Moreover, we can see different kinds of the Big Dipper.

The Big Dipper consists of seven stars; Alkaid, Mizar, Alioth, Megrez, Phecda, Merak and Dubhe. Merak and Dubhe are called the pointer stars. They indicate Polaris, the North Star.

There is also a Little Dipper. It also consists of seven stars. We are able to see a Little Dipper and the Big Dipper at the same time.

The Big Dipper was imagined part of a big bear long time ago by people. They called it Ursa Major. Ursa means bear, and major means big. Also the Little Dipper was part of a little bear. minor means little, so they called it Ursa Minor.

If you imagine that, you will be able to find shapes of them. Let's find them!

BR 2-11: FIREFLIES IN THE NIGHT

Hello everyone! Today I am going to introduce the book "FIREFLIES IN THE NIGHT". This book is written about fireflies. I knew the word "Firefly" for the first time. I could learn what I have not known this time. Anyway, do you often see fireflies? If so, where do you see? I seldom see them recently.

A style of this book is an experience of a girl.
It seems that when fireflies rest, they fold their hard front wings on top of their soft back wings. Young fireflies do not have wings. They live in the ground for a year or two. After that their wings grow, they live above grounds or trees.
It seems that fireflies help people. For example, if people walk around the dark jungle paths, fireflies help them because they send out light. Another one is relate to medical. Once upon a time in Cuba, a doctor used a firefly lamp in his operating room. I was very surprised!

I think that any other creature in the world help people to live. It is so nice circulation. This series of this book tells us a lot of information and knowledge, so you can try it! You will be able to get new ideas!

BR 2-10: What Is the World Made Of?

Hello everyone! I read this book. This book is written about a lot of matters of world. Usually I don't often think about what the World is made of, so this title was interesting for me. I am going to introduce this story now.

Do you know three matters on earth? It can be solid, liquid, or gas. All matter, everything on earth, is either solid, liquid, or gas. Some solids are hard, but others are soft. All solid hold their shapes unless we do something to change them. If a lot of toys are liquid or gas, we don't play them. Suppose to you want to drink soon. If water is hard as a block, you cannot drink soon. When we take a bath, water freeze, and we could not take a bath. So, that solid, liquid, and gas are divided is very important for our life and play an important tole.

I think this book tells us how to explain a lot of process on earth in English. Also we are able to learn many words such as small bubble, water vapor, ice cube and so on... It makes use of any scene. Moreover it is very easy to read. I am going to look for other stories from now.

Essays 2-05: Secret of Kumamoto~discovery in downtown~

Hello everyone! How's it going? Recently, it is getting cold and cold, isn't it? Anyway, do you have recommendation spot? Or do you have your favorite scene? I know my recommendation or secret of my hometown, Miyazaki. However, to tell the truth, I am not familiar with Kumamoto, much less secret of Kumamoto. However, one day, when I went to downtown in Kumamoto, I discovered that nobody knows thing as a secret of Kumamoto. I think that it will become a secret of Kumamoto and my recommendation. So today I am going to talk about best scene of Kumamoto Castle from downtown.


To begin with this secret of Kumamoto, from where do you often view Kumamoto Castle? Some people may see it from anywhere in downtown, and others may go to Kumamoto Castle directly, I think. I also see it no matter where I am able to view Kumamoto Castle. However, when I stopped watching for the signal of downtown which is crossing Tsuruya and New's to change to green, I discovered best scene of Kumamoto Castle. It is that Kumamoto Castle where we can see from the corner of Tsuruya is very beautiful! It is a point to stand in the front toward Kumamoto Castle.


Next, Kumamoto Castle is different in scenery of every season from the corner of Tsuruya and is beautiful. In spring, we can see it surrounded by cherry blossom. In summer, contrast with the trees of the fresh green and Kumamoto Castle is splendid. In autumn, we feel that colored leaves and Castle seem Japanese style. In winter, when it snows in Kumamoto Castle, we look like scene of the movie. Each of season we are able to feel the revolution of the four seasons.


Finally, this secret will be attractive for people, I think. Suppose you are asked from interviewer, "Please tell me your town." Then you answer the question, "Kumamoto Castle where we can see from the corner of Tsuruya is very beautiful! It is a point to stand in the front toward Kumamoto Castle. Please see it at least once!" Perhaps you will arouse interest. Also it will be your favorite spot where you can feel seasonable variety.


I think that this discovery will not be known a lot of people. I find such a discovery at just a moment. If you go to downtown in Kumamoto, please stand in the corner of Tsuruya toward Kumamoto Castle and gaze at it each season. I am sure that you are able to feel seasonable color and you will want to introduce it as a secret of Kumamoto!

BR 2-09: Why I sneeze, shiver, Hiccup, and YAWN

I read this book. This book was written about reflex actions. Why do we sneeze? Why do we shiver? Why do we hiccup? Why do we yawn? This book solves out these questions. I thought that reflexes are wonderful for me. I had been thought why these reflexes happen. This book tells detail of it.

Our nervous system is made of two parts. One part is nervous. The other is spinal cord. All reflexes work through your nervous system. When we hiccup, we say "HIC!". To begin with this process, a nerves sends a message to your spinal cord, next an air goes in and your throat closes, so we say "HIC!". In order to stop it, a drink of water may make the hiccups go away. When we sneeze, we say "KA-CHOO!" Why? First, dirt goes in mouth or nose, after that brain gets massage and sends it to spinal cord. Spinal cord gets message and sends it to diaphragm and belly muscles. Then muscles contract. Air is forced out of lungs and into nose and mouth, so we sneeze! Shivering and yawning also reflexes. A yawn begins when lungs have too little oxygen in them. With more oxygen in your lungs, you feels a little less sleep.

We have dozens of different reflexes. I have never thought why these reflexes happen, because these phenomenon are usual things. However our body has wonderful system, I think. I want to know about our body systems more.

BR 2-08: Down Comes The RAIN

Hello! How's it going everyone?

Today, I am going to talk about "Rain". Do you know the mechanism which falls down rain? Maybe you would study when you are junior high school days. However this book explains how to make rain, why wet clothes dry, and so on easily. So I am sure that you will review the air mechanism again and learn how to express it in English.

When wet clothes hang on the clothesline, the water in them evaporates. So we get dry clothes. This process is caused from sun. Sun is necessary for our life, I think. Almost all of the water vapor in the air comes from rivers, lakes, and oceans. The water changes from a liquid to a gas. Let's think about another situation! In winter, sometimes you are able to see your breath if it is cold. That is because the water vapor includes. All living thing can see this phenomenon. From this book, I am able to know how much air mechanism is an important and necessary for us. It is very useful for our life.

That is way this book tells us a lot of things or information. Perhaps you will get information that you have not known. Moreover the pictures in this book are very pretty good and funny, so you are able to read easily, you know. Please read it!

Essays 2-03 (MR): Mrs. Doubtfire ~eternal love of family~

I watched "Mrs. Doubtfire" for the first time. The main characters are Daniel (father), Miranda (mother), and three children (two girls and a boy). These members are family members. This story is kind of comedy, so it was very interesting and humor. However, there is a sad part in this story for me. I think that this story is not a mere happy ending story. It is a realistic story, I think. Anyway, this story tells us a lot of things with humor. Especially I felt that family love and tie, children's smile from Daniel's humor and the important thing in this story. So I am going to tell you about three points through my feeling.

First, the story tells us family love and love for children from Daniel. The man character, Daniel and the woman character, Miranda are couple. They have three children. Miranda wanted to divorce from Daniel, because Daniel is a selfish person. She couldn't put up with his actions, so Daniel and Miranda separated. Miranda works very hard to support her family. She always thought about her children, but she noticed the important thing for her children. On the other hand, Daniel went to meet his three children as a woman, in other words he disguised as a woman! He pretended to be a house helper! The name is "Mrs. Doubtfire". He really wanted meet his three children every day, so he went there even if he disguised. Mrs. Doubtfire behaved strictly for three children. However it showed real love for children. I think that Daniel needs his three children but children also need the father, Daniel. It is very precious for him and his children to spend every day together. In short, it can be said that "No family no life". I felt that Daniel and his children's attitude show a family love.

Second, Daniel's humor makes his three children smile and happy. He is a very humor person. His humor makes children happy and smile. If Daniel was my father, I would be smile and happy every day. And if my father such as Daniel disappeared from me, I would be sad and not be happy and smile. I think that smile is necessary for human being to live. Smile is a prerogative for only human being. In living thing, only human being make smile. Smile makes people energetic and happy. If smile disappeared in our life, we cannot feel happy and enjoy life. I think that smile supports our life. So Daniel's humor supports almost all of his children's life, I think.

Third, this story tells us the important thing. It is that as for us, nothing has to be perfect. In this story, Daniel and Miranda separated. However three children are Daniel's children and also Miranda's children for Miranda. Now that family doesn't live together, but family love continues ever. This story shows a family love is an eternal love, even if a perfect style of family disappeared. So nothing has to be perfect for us. They have and feel an invisible family tie.

As a conclusion, we need family love and tie, I think. We can't live by myself. Family love and tie support our life, I think. I cannot think my life without family. In my case, I live alone now. My father, mother and my younger sister live together, but only I live by myself now. It is not until living by myself that I noticed the importance of family, so I would love to treat my family treasure. The movie "Mrs. Doubtfire" reminds me of the importance of family.

This "YouTube" is a short movie of "Mrs. Doubtfire".

BR 2-07: Ant Cities

I read this book which is written about ants. How much do you know about ants? Actually I don't know so much about ants. I think that ants are very tiny and move fast. They are good at escaping anywhere.

I am going to talk about content in this story.

Ants are always moving. They are very active. To make their nest, they are always moving. In a nest, there are miles of tunnels and hundreds of rooms. In the rooms of the nest, worker ants do many different kinds of work. For example, some ants bring food from outside into a nest and crack the seeds. Then the ants chew the seeds to get the juices. Other workers store seeds. Moreover ants lays eggs and grow these.

In the nest, there is a Queen ant. The queen is bigger than the other ants. Anyway ants work very well.

This book describes the nest, kind of ants, how to make something.

I think that each of ants have their own work. You think ants cities are very wonderful, isn't it?*haha* There are over 10000 kinds of ants in the world such as Formica ants, Cornfield ants, Carpenter ants, Thief ants, Leaf cutting ants, and Army ants. Maybe that ants work harder than human, I think. To be honest, I don't like ants because the groups of ants are very strangely and not so good. However, I am able to know about ants.

BR 2-06: The PLANETS in Our SOLAR SYSTEM

I read science book this time too. I want to overcome this series.
Now I am going to talk about the planets in our solar system. How do you understand about our planet? Can you answer the names of some of the planets? I am sure that maybe you know all of them. How far is it from Earth to the sun? Is it only the Earth that we can live? So these questions are solved completely by reading this book.

We live on a planet. Our planet is called Earth. In our solar system, the nine planets exist. These are Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto. We need a telescope to see Neptune and Pluto.
Asteroids are big chunks of rock. It goes around the sun. Comets are collections of ice, gas, and dust. Meteoroids are bits of rock and metal. A shooting star is a meteoroid.
Earth is a middle-sized planet. Mercury, Venus, Mars and Pluto are smaller than Earth. Pluto is the smallest planet all of the nine planets. However, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune are larger than Earth. Jupiter is the biggest of all the planets. Over 1000 Earths could fit inside Jupiter.
We people can't live on Mercury or Venus. We would burn up. Contrary to the former, we can't live on Neptune or Pluto, because we would freeze. Jupiter and Saturn are very cold. The planet that we can live on is only Earth!!!

I think that Earth is a precious planet for us to live. I can't believe that Earth disappears. I can enjoy and study our solar system with reading this book. The good points of this book are two. First is that there are many pictures and diagram, so we can image easily. Second is that we can know the words about our solar system. Is it like a kind of TOEFL test isn't it??? So I recommend you to read it!

This book "How Mountains are made" is written about process of being made mountains. It is a kind of geography.

By the way, Mt. Everest is a younger mountain, and it is still being pushed up higher. Millions of years from now, there will not be mountains. It will be like a desert.

I think that it is good chance to learn a lot of science in English. And it is written in easy English, so everyone can understand this content and you can enjoy it! A lot of pictures in this book are pretty and this book includes many pictures. So try it!

Essays 2-02: My Favorite place ~The Kirishima Mountains~

This time I am going to talk about my favorite place. My favorite place is the Kirishima Mountains in Miyazaki prefecture and Kagoshima prefecture. Have you ever heard "Mt. Kirishima"? Some people may know it, and others may not know it, I think. Well, do you know "Kuro-Kirishima"? This was named "Kuro-Kirishima" after the Kirishima Mountains. The Kirishima Mountains are located in the prefectural border of Miyazaki and Kagoshima. The Kirishima Mountains which I see from my house on a fine day are very very beautiful. Moreover, in the Kirishima Mountains, scenery changes every season, and there is fascination of every season. That is the reason why I love it, so now I will explain about three favorite points.

First favorite point is a fascination of the Kirishima Mountains. This place has seasonal phase. Spring has the cherry blossom and young leaves in the mountains. When I was a high school days, I went there for school outing mountain climbing every year. Every time we climb, we enjoyed climbing and seeing beautiful scene. Trees or leaves turn in fresh green mountains in summer. Autumn, the leaves turn in autumn. In winter, the mountains colored snow white. It is a beautiful shine. I would like you to see change of scene each season. Especially, I recommend you to see fall season. You can feel fresh air in cool climate, so you will be able to relax.

Second favorite point is a lot of wild animals. There are many kinds of wild animals in a plain. I would often go to the Kirishima Mountains for leisure. Every time we saw wild deer, rabbits, raccoon dogs, foxes and unusual birds. In a plain park wild parents and child deer often showed up. When we approached them, they didn't run away from us. So I was surprised them. I think that they are not scared human.

Third favorite point is a lot of sightseeing. The Kirishima Mountains have not only seasonal scene but also many active places. Of course we can climb the mountains but there is a walking course. It is an exclusive for walking. My family would often use this course. Moreover we can enjoy skating in winter. There is located in a plain. A lot of people visit there for spending leisure time. There are also camping place. Family or any groups often use this place. After that we have a chance to take a hot spring. It is very special view from open-air bath.

I suggest you to go there at least once. I would like you to experience these giant natures and relax yourself. I'm sure you will also like these places. I hardly have time to go there by car with my family now. However I am going to go there in this winter vacation to refresh. I want to discover new good places next time and relax myself!! I love the Kirishima Mountains.
