How complicated a relationship is.

2011-05-31T01:24:00.004+09:00

My PC works really slowly... I'm getting stressed out much....

I don't know why a relationship is so complicated.
I was planning a drinking party this Wednesday, but there were some complicated problems...

First, two of the members had a date before, and it did not work out. Because of that, they can't have a same party together.
To solve this problem, I planed one separated to two parts. First one is from 7:00 to 11:00, and Second one is from 11:30 to morning.
This solution is one of the best one, because one of the two has to go back home before a last train, and another can't come before 11:00. I thought I finished planning, but as soon as I began reading a paper, another problem occurred to me.
In a second part members, there were two who had a little bad relationship...
I hope they can overcome it and come to the party...

I thought I could plan it much easier..........................

Studying for Test

I have a test tomorrow. It might be difficult, so I studied for it until just before.
I hope it isn't so difficult...

Long time I haven't updated this blog, and at the end, I was told that I should write whatever I can, even a short one.

Question.
Some people believe that the Earth is being harmed (damaged) by human activity. Others feel that human activity makes the Earth a better place to live. What is your opinion? Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.

My Answer.
In my opinion, the Earth is being harmed by human activity.
First, there are still many countries which haven't been developed yet. Almost all of them hope to be developed and effort to compete with developed countries. If they want to beat developed countries, they must do more efficiently than developed ones even if the way they do harms environment. It means that developing countries sometimes sacrifice environment for their development. For example, when Japan wasn't developed yet, there were many environmental pollution. It was caused by factories which made Japan developed.

Second, developed countries can buy anything including woods from developing countries because developed ones have much money and developing ones need money. As a result, environment of developing countries is destroyed. For example, Japanese has bought many woods from developing countries like Malaysia.

Finally, humans value their selves and their profit most. So if one knows his work is harming environment, he wouldn't stop it because if he stops it, he can't earn money and can't live. He mustn't quit his work, and he would continue to do it. It results in continuing to harm environment.

I think there is only one way to stop harming environment, and it is that we create a law all humans gain completely same things, same quantity. Because if there are any difference, one who gains less or worse do anything to gain more or better, like China caused many environmental pollution in its territory to develop its own economy. Japanese did the same thing too before it became developed. Unless we don't do this, human would continue to harm environment.

Because of the above reasons, the Earth is harmed by human activity.

How crazy!

2011-03-28T00:41:00.002+09:00

Last night, I went to a farewell party of my part time job.
It was really funny party, but I drank pretty too much...
I think we looked really crazy because we talked much loudly and drank in a high pace.

In about two hours, 5 out of the 13 members felt in a sleep. What a light drinker! (Actually I was 1 out of the 5...)

But it was really funny night and I don't want to drink for a while...

Get a new desk!

2011-03-21T01:26:00.001+09:00

Because my friend is supposed to go abroad to intern, he has to clean up his furniture. So I asked him to give me his desk.

Actually, I possess my own desk, but it is too large to use in my room.
I've used it since I was an elementary school student, so to be honest, I don't want to throw it out.

It has really helped me to study and owe what I am to it.
Ummmm.

But thanks to a new desk, my room would look good and I could turn a new leaf.
I really appreciate my desk.

Hard day

2011-03-18T23:02:00.002+09:00

Ummm, I misunderstood the time today's online English lesson began.

Today, I went to my university to use its gym, but it was off to save an electricity.
So I went to my lab and help my colleague a little, and I went back home.
But unfortunately, when I was right in front of the door of my house, I realized I left my house's key at my lab.

My only consolation was my lab wasn't so far from my house.It takes about 20 minutes to go from my house to my lab.
When I arrived at the building my lab located, I realized another unluckiness. To save electricity, the building stopped its elevator just before I arrived. My lab locates on 9th floor! I had to hoof it all the way.

I spent really hard day!

Cold day

2011-03-17T18:50:00.000+09:00

It's really cold today.
I'm at home whole day today, but I feel cold now.

Because of the lack of electric power caused by the earthquake, Japanese government said we nations needed to save it, so I save it too, and it is the reason why I feel cold in a house.

Government said today is a crisis of the Fukushima nuclear power plant.
While the workers at it are in a really dangerous environment, they do their best to solve the problem.
I really respect them and I hope they get through the crisis.

Spring vacation

2011-03-17T04:51:00.000+09:00

I've finished my graduation research on February, and now I'm in a spring vacation.
Actually, I was supposed to go snowboarding, but because of an earthquake, the event was canceled.

People who is near the earthquake center is in really bad and sad situation.
I can't do anything but fund-raising, and I hope it's going to help them.

The earth-quake put nuclear power plants in Fukushima into dangerous situation too, and it may have effect on people in a capital area. I live in Tokyo, so I'm worried about it.

I hope this situation calms down soon.

Long time no update.

2010-10-09T22:52:00.001+09:00

These days, I was too busy to update this.
But I will continue this blog.
So I will add dairies sometimes I can.

I work on my graduation research these days.
My graduation research is to create a system, which converts one program into two different mobiles' applications automatically.

I think I have to do my best to accomplish it.

Toefl exam part6.

2010-09-19T22:10:00.002+09:00

Q6.
If you could change one important thing about your hometown, what would you change? Use reasons and specific examples to support your answer.

My answer.
I would change the way of using my hometown's land.
Now it is used for factories. Because there are many large space in my hometown's land, and factories increase the number of employment.
But actually it is not for my hometown.
There are two reasons of it.

First, factories often pollute environment around them.
Waste produced from factories often damages living things around them and sometimes damage people living around them too.
For example, the Minamata disease was caused by the waste from a factory and it produced numerous casualties.

Second, this characteristic doesn't produce specialty.
People living in my hometown only work for companies which have the factories and nothing will produced as a my hometown's specialty.

So I think we would better use my hometown's land for farms.
It would produce my hometown's specialty foods and doesn't pollute environment.
For example, Miyazaki city uses its land for farms, and it produces its specialty foods such as the Miyazaki beef, which is well known in Japan. And pollution hasn't happened these days in Miyazaki city.

Because of the above reasons, I would change the way of using my hometown's land from using for factories to using for farms.

Q5.
A company has announced that it wishes to build a large factory near your community. Discuss the advantages and disadvantages of this new influence on your community. Do you support or oppose the factory? Explain your position.

My answer.

The advantage of it is that leap in employment happens in my community.
And the disadvantage is that it pollutes environment around my community.

I oppose the factory.
Because the pollution of environment around my community makes my life worse.
The factory gives out pollutant and it might damage my health.
For example, some Japanese experienced some diseases such as the Minamata disease, caused by the waste from factories.
So I think the factory may damage us.

Someone argue why I don't consider the advantage.
But nothing is more important than life.
So we should put life first in everything.

Because of the above reasons, I opposed the factory.

It is about programming an application of iPhone.
It is actually interesting for me.(><)

Toefl exam part4.

2010-09-15T00:09:00.000+09:00

Today, I broke my glasses.(><)
What is worse is that this happened while I did my job at a cram school.
So I connected it with a tape and I wore this.
I was so embarrassed.
I really loved it!!!(><)

I work on Toefl exam today too.

Q4.
It has been said, “Not everything that is learned is contained in books.” Compare and contrast knowledge gained from experience with knowledge gained from books. In your opinion, which source is more important? Why?

My Answer.
In my opinion, knowledge gained from experience is better.
There are two reasons for my argument.

First, it is easier to practice knowledge gained from experience, because we experienced practicing the knowledge before.
For example, when I want to play basketball, if I only learn how to dribble from a book, I can't do.
But if I actually manage to dribble once, I can do it next too.

Second, there are many things which are expressed more complicated in a book.
For example, when I learned how to subtract at a math class, I couldn't understand what an explanation about subtraction on a textbook meant.
But when I actually experienced practicing subtraction with some apples, I could understand it easily.

Some people might argue that knowledge gained from experience is less.
But a number of knowledge gained from books is usually about equal to knowledge gained from experience unless you don't read books very much.

Therefore, I think knowledge gained from experience is better.

Q3.
Nowadays, food has become easier to prepare. Has this change improved the way people live? Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.

My Answer.
I think this change improve the way people live.
There are two major reasons for my argument.

First, this change makes people more stronger. It means this change gets it easier to get proper nutrition.
For example, when I finish training, I can consume enough protein easily.
And it improve efficiency of training.

Second, thanks to this change, we can spend much time doing other things but preparing food. So we can improve various ability.
For example, thanks to this change, I can spend much time learning. And it improve my knowledge.

Some people argue that some people lose preciousness of food. But actually we need to work to get food as well as preparing food. So we usually feel preciousness of getting food.

Therefore, I think this change improve the way people live.

Q2.
Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Parents are the best teachers. Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.

My Answer.
I agree with this statement because of some reasons.

First, they generally teach us knowledge needed to live.
For example, I was learned a language from my parents in my childhood.
They taught me it every day, and I think no one could do it.
In addition, they taught me a table manner. No one could do it every time I had a dinner too.

Second, generally no one thinks of us more than our parents.
So parents tries to teach us harder than anyone else.
So it is usually the most efficient and effective to learn from our parents.

For example, when I used chopsticks in a wrong way in a school, my teacher of the school scolded a little, but when I did a same thing in my house, my parents scolded much more, and actually it was more effective than that of the teacher in the school.

Some one might argue that teachers of a school usually have more knowledge than parents and it is the reason why teachers of a school are better.
But knowledge which teachers have more than parents is usually specialized things and usually their are not more important than a common sense.

For example, even if I know the way to solve addition, if I don't know a table manner, I can't do business.

So I agree with this statement because of these reasons.

Strategy of TOEFL.

2010-09-09T21:37:00.001+09:00

Today, I learned the strategy of Toefl speaking and writing from my foreign friend.
So I will practice it.

Q1.
People attend college or university for many different reasons (for example, new experiences, career preparation, increased knowledge). Why do you think people attend college or university? Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.

My Answer.
I think people attend college or university for getting knowledge.
So let me explain these reasons.

First, in a college or university, I can learn from professors of what I want to learn. And I can get more knowledge than I get by myself.
For example, when I learned in the mathematics class, I had an question which I couldn't solve by myself. So I asked a professor and then he answered it quickly and understandably. And he taught me what was related with the question too.

Second, I can use the most recent equipments in an area of what I want to learn and practice using them.
For example, in my college, I can attend classes which I can learn how to use the most recent system and I actually use it in. And I actually use it by myself now.

Someone may say that he can learn knowledge by myself, but it is efficient and effective to learn in college by these two reasons.
Therefore, I think people attend college or university for getting knowledge.

Too nervous.

Today, I had the interview exam for the graduate school.
So I was really nervous.(><)
The conclusion will be revealed on September 14th.
I want to know it soon.

In Japan, the Democratic party was thrown into disorder because of the party leadership election.
I can't understand why the candidates who belong to the same party have to be opposed to each other even though there are many problems they have to solve together.

The problem which has gotten the most attention recently is the inordinate appreciation of the yen.
There are various opinions about it.

On the minus side, the items made from Japan will be unsalable.
Because the items made from Japan will be more expensive in other countries, due to this shift.

On the plus side, Japanese can buy the items made from other countries at a more low price.
The items include the campanies.
It is the chance for Japanese taking over other countries' companies.

Anyway, I think it is dangerous to leave this situation because of the export business's crisis.
I think it will plunge the industries into crisis too.
So I hope the government will take some countermeasures without concentrating only to the election.

It was too humid and too hot.
I can't believe it's the end of August already.(><)
Hokkaido, which is the summer retreat of Japan, is hot too.
I can't believe it too.(><)

It is, as you know, the king of the animals, a lion.
It looks so powerful, doesn't it?
To be honest, I could take this picture thanks to the function of my camera.
Because there were too many people taking a closer look at a lion near it to take it from nearby.
So I took it from a distance.

And it is swimming penguins.
In the Asahiyama zoo, we can watch them from a glass-paneled pathway which is in the inside of water they swim in.
So we can watch them in a natural state.

This is the specialty of the Asahiyama zoo.
Seals swim through this glass-paneled poll and we can watch them from the outside of it.

The feature of Asahiyama zoo is that we can watch the animals in a more natural state.

I encourage you to go to Hokkaido once at least!(^^)

My home is in Hokkaido, and there are many beautiful landscapes.
So I traveled in Hokkaido with my girlfriend after I went to see my parents.

Furano city in Hokkaido is well known for its beautiful landscapes.

I took this picture at the Senbo mountain pass.
It looks so beautiful, isn't it?

And it was taken at the Hill of Shikisai.
Furano city is well known for the beautiful lavender farm too.
But when we went to Furano city, lavenders there have been already died.
So almost all of flower gardens in Furano city have already finished their best time.
But it so happens that it was other flower's best time in the Hill of Shikisai when we went there.
We were so lucky.

And it was taken at the Hill of Shinei.
As soon as we left there, it began to rain.
We were really lucky!(^^)

Next time I'll show pictures which I took at the Asahiyama zoo.

The Spaceman.

2010-08-13T22:58:00.005+09:00

These days, the space is popular in Japan.
It means that many Japanese are interested in Japan.
It is because many things related with the space, such as the Hayabusa which has come back to the earth and Mr.Nogushi who has come back to the Earth, appeared in this year.

Now I'm watching a TV show which features the space.
It says that if human can have a baby in the space shuttle, the baby is very the spaceman.
It is really right.
And it is exactly the evolution as the living things has come to the ground.
I wonder when the spaceman who is from the earth appears.

When I watched the TV program which made a feature that the number of the younger who preferred the sea was decreased, I felt bad because I thought it is nonsense.
But I was too stupid.
Because this change which apparently nonsense appreciably effects on the market related with it and even the market which isn't seemingly related with it.

And after this, I have to make a decision which lab I belong to.

To be honest, I thought this movie wasn't funny very much.
Because I couldn't find the theme which really impressed me or moved me.
And there were some people who felt in the same way.

On the other hand, this movie was very poplar abroad.
It seems that the many scenes of it which shows beautiful Japanese views attracted the foreign people.
It's true that this movie shows such scenes.
And they attract Japanese too.

If you haven't watched it yet, you should do!

The days which the fire works are held on are concentrated on August.
So it is hardly that the fire works are held after August.
Because it is cooler after August.

I can't think of the fire works without thinking of holding a place and crowd.
We can have a good time only when the fire works are just being held.
Before then and after then are just like survival.
We have to make strategic plans to get the good watching place before the fire work is held and escape from the crowd after it ends.

I love Gyudon!

2010-08-08T23:15:00.002+09:00

These days, I eat a gyudon at the Matsuya.
Do you know the Matsuya?
The Matsuya is one of the most favorite gyudon chain restaurants.
The sales point of it is speed and convenience.
So I utilize it when I'm busy.

Other ones of the most favorite gyudon chain restaurants are the Yoshinoya and the Sukiya.
Their names are just like Japanese style, aren't they?
There is the order between them.

The most favorite one is the Sukiya.
The Sukiya is like a family restaurant so much that young ladies and girls can eat a gyudon at it.
Families can utilize it casually too.
And it has various original menus.
They are the reasons why it is so popular.

The second one is the Matsuya.
It sells gyudons in the lowest price of the three.
This gets the Matsuya so popular.

And these two are in a close match.

The Yoshinoya ,which is the oldest gyudon chain restaurant in Japan, is left pretty away.
The Yoshinoya is also as convenience as other two.
But it has no other features which make difference between it and other ones.

The Yoshinoya's gyudon is more good than other's I think, but it's not good enough to make people cost more than other's.

I think the Yoshinoya has to make strong features which other two don't have.

He is great because he can perform any parts of from an odd person to a great person.
And because when he performs, he looks nobody but the person he acts exactly.
Of course, I think you can't believe that he acted an odd person, when he acts a great person, and so is the opposite.

He is so cool.(^^)

Things happens for a reason.

2010-08-06T23:55:00.000+09:00

Yesterday, I had finished watching Season 1 of Full House at last.
I've watched only one disk of it again and again in a week to increase my English skill.
And of course, to pleasure.
And I have finally finished watching a whole of Season 1.

So I watched a first disk of Season2 today.
There was something changed from a former Season.
First, the opening movie was changed a little.

And they grew a little .
Steph entered a elementary school, Micheal could talk a little, and Jesee cut his regent.
And some new characters appeared.
I really love it!(^^)

And I heard a good phrase in it.
Today's title is it.

I think it is a positive.
This phrase helps us overcoming some difficulties.

Japanese songs.

2010-08-06T02:14:00.002+09:00

This video shows Japanese favorite songs.
And it shows songs along time.
So you can know how the Japanese trend had changed until the year 2003.
And you can know who made a new wave, though some of them were helped by advertisement very much.
Only it is pretty bad that this video shows songs which appeared until 2003, which is 7 years ago.

Individually, it brings back memories very much.

Japanese mystery.

2010-08-06T00:36:00.001+09:00

These days, TV news tell a same news which is about Japanese mystery.
The detail of it is that some Japanese old people who are registered as they live have actually dead for a few years.
The reason why a problem like it happened is that anybody, even their relatives, didn't realize what had happened to the old people.

There are various reasons why they couldn't realize it.
But many of them are apparently because the old parson and his or her relatives drifted apart.

The administration seems to feel to be responsible for this problem and they try to solve it by changing its systems.

But I think it was caused by their relatives.
The relatives, at least their sons or grandchildren, is responsible for their parents or grandparents.
I think this is natural because their sons and grandchildren were cared by them very much and they should return by taking care of their parents or grandparents.

Connection between relatives in Japan has been apart.
I think it is a heavy problem and we Japanese have to think it over much.
And we have to change such a bad thinking on relation between our parents and us.

I was surprised.

2010-08-04T23:56:00.001+09:00

Today, I was surprised at a difference between Japan and countries whose nations speak English.

I learned a word "connive".
It has two means.
One is pretending not to watch any crimes.
Another is helping someone to do crime.

In Japan, adults tell children that these two things are same, and actually they are considered to be almost same.
But in English, They are contained in a same word, and they are completely same.

It seems that they are treated as same in English.

How noisy.

2010-08-03T23:10:00.000+09:00

Today, I studied in my university's library.

And there were girls who whispered to each other as they talked.
When you study in a library, don't you feel other's whispers noisy?

I felt their whispers too noisy.(><)
It was hard for me to be patient with it.

Anyway, as long as the exam ends, I don't need to think of such a small matter.
It is not good to have less reserves in a mind.

Why?

2010-08-02T23:55:00.001+09:00

Now, I'm really in trouble with setting mailing system in my PC.

It didn't work no matter how I did.
I gotta do this many times until it work.
Uhhh.

Today, I was persuaded to study abroad by a classmate who is a graduate student.
According to him, I can learn from grater persons in foreign universities than that of Japan.
And there are many students who have various opinions and senses of values.
So they must have good effect on me.

I will think it over.
Because I've thought about it since before, and actually I've wanted to do it.
And if I hope to do it, I have to increase my English skill much more.

I will get it!

What you really want to do.

2010-08-01T21:19:00.002+09:00

In a commercial on TV, I was impressed with a line.

The line was "Everyone tells with one's own way, so why don't you do what you want."

I thought that I've worried too much about what other said to me.
When I do what I really want, I have to overcome other's criticism.

It may be common knowledge, but I recognized again.

Which do you want?

2010-07-31T23:23:00.000+09:00

Now, I'm watching news on TV.
It is presenting a change of ideas of consumers.
Now, there is not few consumers who want to buy better stuffs though it is little more expensive.

Before, almost all of general consumers tended to buy the cheapest stuffs though it was little worse.

I don't know why.
But I think I gradually tend to buy the first one of the above two more.
Human beings are wonders.

The two most popular robots.

2010-07-30T22:29:00.002+09:00

In Japan, there are many animated cartoons which portray robots.
I think robots are longed for by Japanese.

The most popular one in them is, as you know, the Doraemon.
The Doraemon is exactly for children.

In Japan, there are many animated cartoons for adults.
And there are some of them which portray robots.

The Gundam and the Evangelion are I think the most popular in them.

The Gundam is popular in a pretty former generation rather than a younger generation.
The Gudam is liked because it is dandy.
People in a pretty former generation are prefer dandy to showiness.
So the Gundam is liked by them.

On the other hand, the Evangelion shows weakness rather than cool or good looking.
It portrays weakness of people's mind skillfully.
And it is very original.
When you watch it for the first time, You may not understand what it mean.
Because there are too small description to notice.
People in a younger generation sympathize its weakness and enjoy detecting its description as if they solved a riddle.

It expresses a difference between these two generations.

Good points of it is a younger generation's people have been able to accept their weakness by them and notice that all of them have their own weakness naturally.

Bad points is it may get someone not making his effort to defeat his weakness.

Though I expressed my opinion of them, actually I don't like either of two much.(^^;)

Moment that we exactly fall asleep.

2010-07-29T23:49:00.000+09:00

is pleasant very much, isn't it?

I think what is the most pleasant when you are in a bed to sleep is not sleeping or lying about idly on a bed, but feeling to be about to fall asleep.

I don't know why dozing away is such a pleasant.

I wonder I'm rather an indoor type than outdoor.

But I want rather to go out to enjoy than to doze in a house now.
Because I spent a whole day studying in university's library today.

The 20th another was under to the exam.

I've gotta get fired up again!!!

Steven Seagal is a too strong fighter.

2010-07-28T23:09:00.004+09:00

Now I'm watching a Steven Seagal's movie on TV.
He is too strong, isn't he?
Villains are knocked flat in an instant as if he sweeps the dust off.

And in this movie, woman who appeared and was pretty beautiful was actually just a man!!!
I was really surprised.
And I was disappointed at my eyes.(><)
Uhhhhhh.

Several days ago, a TV program illustrated about a change of an idol's style in Japan.

These days, the idols who is closer to their fans are more popular, while the idols were just objects yearned by their fans before.

According to the program, the fans recently want to feel getting their idols more famous by them.

Mr.Akimoto, who made one of the most popular idol groups "AKB48", used this change successfully and got it more popular.

It is exactly an example of that there must be a chance of success when some changes occur.

Today's title is a line of the Full House.
It is really nice, isn't it?

I was really impressed by this line.

There is many nice lines in the Full House.
I will introduce them.

He was raised by a family of really stupid wolves.
”こいつはかなり狂ったオオカミの家族に育てられた（ような奴なんだ）。”

She is history.
”彼女のことは忘れなさい。”

Nobody asked me.
”誰も聞かないんだもん。”

I know exactly how you feel.
”君がどんな思いかはよくわかっている。”

I'm dead meat.
”もうだめだ。”

I move into a place with a washing machine on the exact day I run out of clean clothes.
”きれいな服を使い切ったちょうどその日に洗濯機のある家に来れた。”

etc...

I will introduce other ones some other time.(^^)

What do you think?

2010-07-26T23:57:00.001+09:00

Today, I was asked about contents in "The Japan Times".
In it, it was expressed that a number of Japanese students who received natural science doctorates in the United States was much less than other countries such as China, India, South Korea and Taiwan.

I had some opinion and I wanted to tell them.
But I couldn't do because of lack of my vocabulary.
So I will tell it in this blog.

I think many Japanese people are relieved about the present situation which we can get almost all stuffs we want and sure to get knowledge much enough to compete with other countries in Japan.

But this is bad situation.
Because people around the world would think that Japanese students don't have strong will to get knowledge, and they would even thought that Japanese lack ambition.

So we Japanese should consider it.

The fear of the Guerrilla rain.

2010-07-25T21:35:00.003+09:00

These days, TV news warns about an unexpected heavy rain.
It is called "Guerrilla rain".
The reason why it is danger is that it is difficult to expect it and it is badly heavy rain.
So a mudslide is often be warned.

But an apartment I live in is located on comparatively level ground.
So I don't have to care about a mudslide.
In spite of it, why I fear it?

Because it spoils my laundries which dried outside the house.
It is fatal for me.

Because my clear under pants already ran out and if my cloths dried outside are spoiled, there is no under pants I wear tomorrow.(><)
If it becomes so, I curse heaven.

Even if I say so, it is too hot and I think my laundries will be dry soon.
As long as it doesn't meat with the Guerrilla rain.
I just believe it.

The test is gradually drawing near.

2010-07-23T23:35:00.000+09:00

The biggest test since I entered this university is steadily drawing near with summer.
It is the entrance exam of the graduate school which I often say in my blog.

In my university, because of economizing on electric power, all air conditioners is stopped regularly in a day.
So there is too hot in not only my lab, but also a library of my university.

But I know it cannot be helped.
Because my university has so many computers that it costs too large amount of money as a electricity charge.

But I think there are other ways.
I think there are other costs which can be cut down easier.

How defficult.

2010-07-23T00:20:00.003+09:00

I took this picture at about 7 P.M.
Sunset has became later.
I want to go watching fireworks fast.

Today, I had a English class which I can talk with other classmates and my teacher in English.
I think my English listening skill is increasing little by little.But it is more difficult to increase my English speaking skill than I thought.
Though I have memorized some English words, I can't remember them when I want to use them in my talking.
I think output is more difficult than input.
I can't get some words fast when I talk in English, while I can understand them when they appear in a book I read.

But I have to rouse myself into activity.
I know the saying.
"No pain, no gain."

I'll stick it out!

So hard.

2010-07-22T00:24:00.000+09:00

Today, I met a too difficult question in the guraduate school's entranse exam questioned before.
I spent about three hours to solve the question.
Do you believe it?
There must be something wrong with my head or the question.
It's unbelievable!(><)

It was so hot that I was dying today too.
The highest temperature in today was about 38 degrees.
It's higher than a human's body temperature.
What's happening to it?

It seems that we Japanese is said whoever takes the Prime Minister, its administration is going well.
I don't think so, but the term of the Prime minister of Japan is very short enough to be considered that these days.

And I think it is the causes of it that the Liberal Democratic Party changed the Prime Minister too many times in just a short period and that the first term of the Democratic Party, which Mr.Hatoyama has taken, was too short, because he couldn't deal with the problem about the Futenma.

Because of it, there is little trust in the Democratic Party as well as the case thet the Liberal Democratic Party dissapointed us by changing the Prime Minister too many times in a short period.

While it is bad for a people, it is just a chance for other politic parties.

And at the same time, I ,and I think many people, expect them.

I've wanted to know what phrase I should use when I want to ask someone condition of his work.
And I've gotten the answer.

I should use the phrase "How's your work going?" then.

And today, I've known the phrase "I have to burn the midnight oil."
Do you know the meaning of it?
Because I'm just a English learner, I didn't know.
But I know it now.

It means that I have to stay up late at night to work.
No one but a native speaker can understand it before he has been taught it.

I want to know more phrases like them.(^^)

Don't be afraid of expressing you.

2010-07-18T22:56:00.003+09:00

When I learn speaking English, I'm often told that we have to express us more.
According to my friend who is an Indonesian international student, not only Japanese but also Asian tend not to want to insist their opinion.
And American or Westerner tends to prefer exchanging their opinion.
Moreover, they dislike one who doesn't have his or her opinion.

I think so too.
Because I often accept one's opinion without thinking of it.
It is just my opinion, Japanese may tend to dislike to make their opinion clear and to argue with someone.
For them, not to mention me, it is troublesome.
They may prefer accepting someone's opinion to doing something troublesome like it.
And they may be gradually afraid of expressing them because they don't usually express them very much.

I think we should change our mind if we hope to talk in English.
We should exchange our opinion more.

Oops!

2010-07-17T22:46:00.010+09:00

Today, there was a festival at a square in front of a station which is near the building I do a part-time job in.
Because my camera moved slightly, this view may not look very good.
But there was actually a good view.

As a part-time job, I teach students so that they can understand what they learn in their school smoothly.

Today, I've taught for a whole day with hearing a sound of the festival.
Oops!
On such a day that it was such sunny and there was a festival, what did I do in a room which even sunlight couldn't reach?
I was really disappointed by me.

A moment ago, I heard that the smart phone called "IS01" would be put on sale by the KDDI from a cm on TV.

IS01

The KDDI is one of the largest cellphone companies in Japan.

And I've used the KDDI's cellphone.
Actually, I wanted to use the iPhone.
But the iPhone is sold by another cellphone company.
So if I change my cellphone to the iPhone, I have to cancel my current contract which really helps me.
Because of this, I've wanted for the au to put a smart phone on sale since the iPhone was released.

So the news made me happy!

I will check it soon!(^^)

How can we connect?

2010-07-17T01:23:00.009+09:00

Today, I had a interesting lesson in my university.
A topic of it was about the Internet.

Do you know how the Internet connect us?
The Internet different from the Telephone Line.
When we call by phone, we connect a line with a top, and the top connect our line each other.In a word, all lines are converged on the top, and we have to connect our line with another's through the top.

On the other hand, the Internet has lines which extends as if a cobweb did.
And we can connect our line with a extension of it when we use the Internet.
So the lines are not converged on one place.

To be precise, lines of the Internet are hierarchically converged by providers.
First, providers individually converge end user's lines.
Next, they are converged on a higher provider.
It is just like below.

It continues, and at the end, they are converged on ten highest provider called "tier 1."
They are the largest companies of a provider in the world.
Almost all of them are American's.

Generally, lower providers pay higher providers to connect lines with theirs.
And tier 1 are in habit of not paying each other to connect lines.
So they haven't payed and only gotten money from lowers.
It seems that this system has been criticized by countries which don't have tier 1 .

I think this system is arrogant.
But in fact, lower need them, though lower isn't necessarily needed by them.
It is possible to be enough reasons why they can be such a arrogant.

The countries which have only lower providers have to get sites like the google or the twitter which is strong enough to be needed by tier 1.

You can get more information about this from links below.

Sad story.

2010-07-15T23:42:00.003+09:00

It was very sunny today.

And I could watch a great view from my lab as I said in a yesterday's blog.

I can't believe now is the rainy season.

But I heard from news that it has been a severe rainy day in Kyusyu.

I heard that a sediment disaster happened there too.

I hope that damage more than this doesn't occur.

Today, I had my lab's seminar.

In my lab, there is a man who can't talk respectably with anyone but a computer.

Because of my major, there are quite a few people like him in my course.

It is very sad.

I think it might become a interesting drama in TV, if the leading role of the drama were not played by the man like him but like Hiro Mizushima.(^^)

Anyway, I hope he can change him himself some day.

When life gives you lemons, make lemonade.

Now I'm very busy.
Because, I have to study for an entrance examination of the graduate school in August.
My major is The Information Technology.
So I have to practice writing a programing too.

Actually, I was comparatively weak in writing programing.
But, now I'm more familiar with it than before.
There was a story about this.

Now, I belong to the lab which places a emphasis on writing programing and doesn't do on calculating.
Actually, I wanted to belong to another lab which places a emphasis on calculating, but I couldn't because of my bad grade.
So, to tell the truth, I didn't want to belong to the lab I belong to now.

But, by my belonging to the lab, it was possible for me to become familiar with writing programing, and this proves to be useful in studying writing programing.

This is exact "When life gives you lemons, make lemonade."

Now I'm starting my blog in English for the first time.
I'm still not good at writing English and I may make mistakes in my blog.
So please read it with your broad mind.(^^;)
And if you find some mistakes, please write it in a comment!

From June, I've studied English harder than before. I wanna tell why.
Because I got a miserable score in Toefl iBT.
It is too difficult, and my English skill was too low.
And it determined me to study harder.
From then, I've watched English movies and dramas.

In them, I especially like "Full House".
As you know, it is an English comedy drama.
And I love Michelle.
She is really cute baby.
Of course, I love others all.
And I especially love Michelle.(^^)
Now I've watched by 8 stories in Season 1.

I wanna watch next soon.
