WEI post for next class

1 I don’t update my blog so often, or I can’t do it because I don’t have enough time to do it. But I think I have to write more because I have to catch up with the goal I’m late so these days I decided to write 1,000 words blogs and by doing it I’ll keep up with the goal.

2 I think I’ve not got better compared with my first blog.
But I think the words I use are become a little complicated.
I mean, I can use more complicated words compared with the first blog.
Every time I write a blog or post, I do it home.

3. I used to think movie review is useless last semester but this semester you changed the style and teacher modifies the essay if it’s incorrect so my idea against this changed.
I think it’s good work for us to improve our English.
And It takes 1 hour to complete it.

4 I wrote my opinion in my blog last time and I don’ t think this is a writing class because what we are doing in the class is too far from the writing.
We learn how to write essay not just updating our blogs.

5 Up date your blog everyday or you can’t get your credit.

1000 words blog

We have to write 15,000 words in this semester but I've not written enough so, I'll write 1,000 words blog everyday.
First, I don't have any good idea but I'll tell you about what I did today.
First, I went to school by bike from morning as usual, and I took the first period.
The class's name is Human right. It's pretty much difficult for me to understand, maybe almost all of the students who are taking this class can't understand the class or even if they could understand it, It's difficult to understand it.
And the teacher speaks 90 minutes without rest he always give the class like this.
I'm trying to understand what he's speaking but it's difficult, you know.
And other students seems that they feel tired and bored, some of them were sleeping. I think this class's exam must be difficult, I think so.
And second period was Japanese kind of grammar.
This class is also difficult because the topic we take is pretty difficult and today I learned
Chomsky,I don't know the spell is right or not.
Anyway, my Wednesday's class is a little bit more difficult than others.
But I have only two classes on Wednesday so I'm happy but I have a lot of things to do in the spare time, I mean I have to some homework on Wednesday because I have no time to do my home work on other weekday.
Today I had lunch with my friend who took the same class in the second period.
And when we bought a ticket and we were waiting , we found John and other exchange students in the cafeteria so we decided to eat lunch together.
They were studying Japanese especially they were studying kanji so I asked one of them why he's studying kanji in the cafeteria not in the library.
And John told me that he has a kanji test tomorrow and he have to learn thirty three kanji by heart by tomorrow.
And I read his text book and there were a lot of kanji there.
He was in trouble to learn the way to kanji and the shape of it.
He was speaking out all the kanji and I thought learning kanji is difficult for them because English speaking people use only twenty six letters but they have to learn kanji ,katakana and hiragana to live in Japan.
Even I don't know how many words are there in Japanese and How did I learn these languages.
And I and my friend Tomoki taught him kanji I mean we helped him with his homework.
I don't think I wanna learn Japanese even if I'm not Japanese.
Because it's pretty difficult to learn and complicated.

And after lunch I went to one meeting, which was about a studying abroad.
And we did a presentation in front of the stuff.
I think all the presenters looked up the countries or histories or university where we're supposed to go and after finishing the presentation, we asked abut job hunting.
Because we have to do the job hunting immediately after we came back to Japan.
And the stuff told us that he's been to China and Canada in the past and he is supposed to work for food company.
And we got some advice from him.
He recommend us to study SPI while we are studying abroad.
Because it's advantage or useful to learn about it earlier.
So I decided to study SPI and of course English , culture ,history and traditions in
New Zealand.

After that, from night I went to English conversation school as usual today and today's teacher was Taylor, who is from Toronto Canada.
I think Canadian English is easy to listen, understand.
And in the class, he told us that in Canada they learn French as well.
It was what I learned for the first time today.
And I heard they learn French from the elementary school at the third grade to high school and some of them can speak French.
I was so surprised to hear that.

As for the teacher, he's nice and easy to understand i think so, and today as usual I took the class with Ami.
Maybe Tomei knows her.
She's a senior, she's in the fourth grade and she's also in the English American studies. And she's told that she took the exam of the airline company.
Probably she said she passed the exam of Hokkaido's company.
So after I heard that I congratulated her and she looked happy but she told us that she'll have to go to other prefecture I don't remember where it was but she told somewhere.
Today's class were I and Ami, so there were only two students.
But I could a lot because the number of students were a few. So that's why.
And now after I went back from school and I'm writing blog like this.

Can you guess why I'm writing this long blog?
the reason is quite clear.
Because I have to write more than 15,000 words this semester that's why.
And I think I've thought about the topic too much ever, so I couldn't write anything.
I decided to 1,000 words blog everyday and I'll reach to the goal more than 15,000.

But this blog's amount of words is usual but it's ok!
Anyway I have to write more or I can't get this semester's writing credit.
however I want it without fail so I'll try to keep writing blog, update almost everyday.

And from now I have one thing to do it do you know what it is?
It's a assignment of the speaking class.
In the class we are doing kind of a role play.
And in our class we have to do the situation.
the situation is emergency and meteorite is coming to the earth and in one day it'll
crash so What will you do in this situation?
i think this kind of problem is a little bit difficult because we don't think about it so much.
But our group member are very creative so we wrote the manuscript and recorded it last week but by the way our group consist of 5members but two of them were absent so we couldn't do well.
And this week we'll do it second time to record but a problem happened again.
Because one member of our groups can't attend the class so, one person has to do the role play for two people.
I sure that this week's recoding of the speaking class will not be interesting. Because the situation is not good.
But we'll do our best!!

Blog

Today I'm going to tell you about blog. It's also one of writing assignments and all the students who take the class have to do it, and I know about it however consider it. We have many classes everyday and we have many kind of homework else.
And we have to update our blogs at least 5 times a week. Don't you think it's too much and we don't have enough time to do it?
We can't spare time for the assignments of writing very well.
Last semester We had to wrote 10,000words on our blog. It was hard and we used to be in trouble because we couldn't find any topics, I mean I didn't know what should we write about.
But I managed to reach the goal and I could write 10,000words but this time ,in this semester we have to over 15,000 words on our blog.
How do you think about this enormous amounts.
I think it's too much and I don't know the purpose of writing so much.
After I wrote my blog, I don't know whether my blog's spell and grammar is correct or not.
And I think if we write blogs at random, we'll remember wrong English.
I don't like to do it and I wanna learn correct English so that's why I think so about blog.

Movie review of School of rock

School of Rock

13107227
Keita Sasaki

I watched this movie and I’ll tell you about it in this review.
First, in this movie one middle-aged man named Dewey who is a little fat and selfish appears.
And he likes Rock music and he wanted money so one day he pretended to be his roommate Ned, who is an excellent teacher . And he became a teacher of a school but other teachers don’t know the fact that he is lying. And the school is a private elementary school.
He gave terrible tuition and it’s not a class. He is crazy about music so he made everything a music class. he decided to play rock music and he and his students aimed for victory of a band competition.
And he assigned all of the students much work as a kind of role. And they practiced music every day but a problem happened. One day it came out that he had been telling a lie. And Dewey applied for the music competition but for the first time they were declined because they are underage.
But Dewey persuaded the committee and he made it.
On that day, they played rock music in front of their parents who had negative thoughts against Dewey.
But after the kids played Rock music, the parents were moved and they acclaimed their performances.
After the audiences called for an encore , the kids played music again.
But they couldn’t take the crown in the music competition but they could grow somewhat compared with before they played music.

Movie

Yesterday I was fairy sleepy but I had to write about the movie review for Honors English Seminar so I went to TUTAYA which is a CD shop and I borrowed one movie whose name is BABEL. And When I was there, I thought I have to borrow the DVD school of rock but I didn't have enough money to borrow two DVDs so I borrowed one of them.
Because the deadline of Honors class was next day so I preceded Honors' assignment.
Sorry, Tomei.
And as for the movie content, was so the casts are luxurious.
The main character is Brad Pitt. He's so cool

My favorite music

Today I went to tower record in the PARCO. Maybe you know where it is and I listened a lot of music there by the time my English Conversation school starts.
I found one singer whose name is Ne-Yo. He' a R&B singer and his song 'closer' is famous. I like this kind of songs ,what is called,R&B.
I think music makes people happy.
I often listen to music home when I'm in low spirit but after listening to music I feel fine.
And my favorite other singers are KARL WOLF, who is from South Africa.
His songs give me power anytime when i listen to them.
And his songs have good tempo.
I recommend you to listen to his song once.
Anyway, my favorite Japanese singer is EXILE.
It's a name of a group.
The group consists of seven people.
Probably I told you about this before but it's ok.
They sing ballade and my favorite song of all is Lovers Again.
It's the best song all of songs and everey time I go to karaoke,I sing this song without fail.
It's a winter song I think.
Please listen to it someday!!
