Messy room

It is getting colder and colder these days, so I wanted to change my room,
like packing T-shirt in a box and take it away to attic,unpack sweater or coat,,,,


But while I was doing that I sometimes find interesting books or albums and look it,,,,,,when I look at the watch, I realize it is already in mid-night or tree or four hours passed without doing any task.


I even think now that I probably make a big mess in my house,in spite of the fact that I actually try to clean up my house.


If a thief come into my house, I am quite sure that he will be very surprised how messy my house is and escape!

Response

"Don't judge marines fast"

This letter seems he made a bit fool of Japan, because he wonders if U.S military leave Japan, who will protect Japan from the fear of North Korea or China, so he hopes not to give strict punishments to four Navies. It might be true that U.S military contribute lots of things to Japan, but it definitely does not related with this rape accident. He has to respect the victimised girl's mind. His response sounds like U.S can do whatever they want to in Japan including rape or crime because they protect Japan. However it is just their job. Nobody thinks that people who can not protect even a girl are able to protect a country. They should be judged very harshly, probably stricter than normal people

Why I took IES course

The reason I chose Kansai-Gaidai and IES is strongly related with my friend who is now sophomore at this University and in IES. I met her when I was a junior-high school student, and since then we have been always together. We belonged to a same club, we went to a same high school and a same cram school and even now we have a same part-time job.


After I graduated from high-school, I did not go to University directly. A year when I did not go to either a high-school or a University, I always wondered what I had to or could do. To make worse, I had not studied history or classis-Japanese for long time, the universities which I could take entrance examinations were only Kyoto-Gaidai or Kansai-Gaidai, then the friend of mine recommended me to come to Kansai-Gaidai and take IES course.


At first, I was not so willing to come to Kansai-Gaidai, but the course approving both of Universities degrees, Kansai-Gaidai and University in abroad, just for four years was very fascinating for me. However I guessed this course is quite popular, so it must be difficult to be a candidate. That is why I decided to take IES course and study English harder than other student.


By the way, the above picture is my language school friends. (QCE) They are from Switzerland, France, German, Czech Republic, Brazil, Korea and so on. Japanese student was only me, so I could not speak Japanese at all surely.

party! party!

Yesterday, I met some of my high-school friends. We have not met each other for around one and half year. I was a bit nervous when I met them even though there are some girls who I keep meeting around per once a month.


They have been a little bit changed. I think they've got mature. Some of them who go to junior college already got their full-time job and some of them decided to study abroad. When we were high-school students, we wore same uniform and just went to school to read comics behind a desk in a class and to have a chat or do something very stupid. We had never thought about future carefully,but each of my friend do their best to make a their dream come true, now.I'm really proud of them.


But,,,,,, what I regret now is the restaurant which we went didn't have the bottomless dishes and drinking course. It could be horrible if over 10 girls go to pub. (everybody ate and drunk too much) Maybe,I should have invited some boys....

NINTENDO DS

Last weekend,I finally bought Nintendo DS!!!
I ususaaly don't play game,but Nintendo looks so easy to play,so I bought it with EIGOZUKE.(Even though I know that I have a lot of English H.W)

I play it for just 5 or 10 minutes a day,but it's fun! Espesially,when I counldn't get good score in listenning test in Scotto class. Compared with IES,surely Nintendo is by far easier,so it gaves me confidence.If somebody lose motivation to study English,I do recommend EIGOZUKE.

Next time, I want to buy KANKEN. I haven't wrote KANZI for ages,I guess....
If I have to write some Kanzi,I probably need my mobile phone which gives me correct Kanzi all the time.

Loanwords

These days, there are lots of loanwords, such as EAKONN(air conditioner),FUlAWA- ARENNZIMENNTO(flower arrangement) and so on. To distinguish which words are Japanese or not, we had 2 kinds of letters. Hiragana and Katakana. When we use Hiragana, the words are pure Japanese, but when we use Katakana, the words are from other countries. In addition, we, Japanese people, originally write sentence only vertically, though nowadays we write horizontally like Western people do , and　when we use Katakana, we do not write vertically. Young people are used to using loanwords or write horizontally, but most of old people are not. That is why I had thought we have should create new Japanese words instead of using loanword for old people.


However after reading the article, my opinion was a little bit changed. The reason is I remembered that Kanji was also loanwords from China, but Kanji became the essential part of Japanese now. In addition, people say that if we did not accept Kanji, we would not have accepted European culture easily like we did, so using loanwords might help to share the different culture and internationalize all over the world. That is how my opinion was changed after I read this article.


The technology is developing very rapidly everywhere, and so it is good to share the skill to all over the world. Besides, if every people spoke the same language or similar language in terms of using loanwords more and more, it would be very easy to communicate.
