Free Writing: Cheer leader in my high school sports

When I was a high school student, I played a cheer leader in my high school sports. The number of my group were about 30 members. It contained both boys and girls. We almost always met together lunch time and decided the role each other. In our community, we had the head leader, who was boy. He was very active boy and made us cheerful and energeic. The color of my team was blue. I like blue, so I was happy.

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".
