2010-01-14T19:32:00.005+09:00

Yesterday was snow day. Morning, much snow covered with all things. All things were white. I thought today, I can't go to KGU. Because of, my bicycle submerges by snow and bus was late. I thought went to KGU by bicycle but snow very hard so I stopped this thinking. Eventually, I went there by bus but bus later. I arrived there take an hour. This day, I had to take a test and turn in a report for professor. This class is USA literature history. I like this class very much. I took a test and turn in a report. I can answer the test well. Lunch time, I went to club room. Then I and my younger student few work. Finish work, I went to second ground. There, my senior student and friend play with snow. Most snow of KGU was melt but there is much snow there. It didn't melt. They made a snowman. They made big snow ball. I also help to make snow ball. Then I slept and tumble over. They laughed me. The snow man completed after an hour. My friend makes a face of snowman. But it was very subtle. It looks human face. Another student watched it and took a picture. They said it great and cute. We ware very funny. Next, we played snowball fight. We play it as if child. And we also played catch snow ball. If somebody falls down snow ball, the person takes a punishment game. I fall down it many times. So I took a punishment game. Punishment game was to be hit a snow ball. It was hard so sore. When we play, kindergartners play with snow. Then our snowman destroyed by two kindergartners. And two boy kindergartners came here and throw a snow ball for me. They watched our punishment game so they imitate it. We played with them. After 3 hours, we were very tired. So we stopped play with snow and went to student's union. I play snow look child after a long separation. It was very exciting.

2010-01-04T01:21:00.000+09:00

This year’s goal is to go overseas as foreign course this summer vacation. Last year, I should go to New Zealand but I couldn’t go there effect of new flu. So I want to go overseas absolutely. I want to go New Zealand or Canada.

Last year, I wrote a report about animal protection. If I go there, I would research this theme. But I could go there, so I researched about this with internet. Now, I introduce my report.

I examined about New Zealander and Japanese consciousness of animal protection. Japan and New Zealand are loves animal country. But is there different side of animal protect? And what is it doing both counties about animal protection? I write about it after this sentence.

Japanese like animals and Japan is country of love pets. Scale of pet industry market goes over one trillion yen now. But there are also many animals send for animal protection center. Animals that were sent for there have two ways. It’s to live with people again or to be killed for death from suffocation. About 100 thousand cats and dogs were killed every year for tax of nation. According to the ministry of the environment, in 1974, about 1.2 million cats and dogs that were killed decreased 340 thousand in 2006. But this figure is not decrease. Popular dog and cat are impossible breeding repeated for pet boom and when spend the boom, people carry them into animal protect center. It’s very vicious circle. The ministry of the environment announced to start business that supports to build and repair of accommodation in 2009. And it suggested measure that microchip implant to pet and find owner. But essential problem doesn’t solve.

Pets don’t be suffocated in Kumamoto after September 2006. Kumamoto’s protection center was put them to sleep by two infections. But pets that is bring them into there, doesn’t decrease.

New Zealand is known as love animal's country. One of two homes in New Zealand has pet and live together. New Zealand separated from continent and moved now south pacific during about 80 million ago to 100 million ago. Since it, there is much rare wildlife there. For example, there are kiwis hat national bird of New Zealand, yellow eyed penguin that lives in Dunedin Otago peninsula, a variety of kinds of birds. Kea, weka, takahe, morepork owl, and tuatara that is living fossil it’s said dinosaur's alive remainder. These animals are threatened with extinction. People takes plan to protect these animals.

Paradise valley Springs in Rotorua is Wild bird Sanctuary for being threatened with extinction birds. Animal protection group run this sanctuary. There is big keeping area and there are birds that couple or be protect by injury. There are also artificial hatching facilities, research facilities and selection of display. People can watch fly of raptorial that was trained with interactive guide. It tallies result training that said Karearea or New Zealand falcon and Peculiar birds of prey to New Zealand. Calorie wildlife protection district was reproduced aboriginal place before human colonize. There are rare animals protects by high technology fence. Kiwi or weka lives into there. Thus, people protect wildlife in New Zealand.

And it’s done pets protects in New Zealand. There is SPCA that group of animal protect and welfare. It assume biggest control under animal protect law in New Zealand. It set up in U.K. in 1824. This group’s purpose is to rescue and find new family for animals that hasn’t place or be misuse. The total number that is protected animal there is about 300. There are dog, cat, horse, sheep, pig, rabbit, hamster, and bird. Disposal rate for new family is 100%. 14,000 animals are adopted for year. And animals don’t be killed there. When treat is impossible and big task for animal, put them to sleep. But family veterinary treat until limitation. And long stay dog over 3 month is left for general home is called “Foster family”. This purpose is to be experience life outside cage and taste the delights of family dog. The money for food and medical bill are bear SPCA during keep the dog.

The SPCA’s administration fund is donation. It are individuality donation and for local company. And it isn’t rare to leave will behind, it isn’t also people choose SPCA as legacy descent place. The person that to take care of animals in facility is volunteer and they also gather fund. Volunteer‘s condition is over 18 years old and to can do volunteer over one year. SPCA’s administration is impossible without volunteer.

Japan and New Zealand is same love animal country but animal protect side is different. Japan is fall behind other country about animal protect. Japan should follow other country and arrange the system of animal protect.

My report is finish. I want to go overseas. I hope it.

Do you know my Language Learnig Story? (Revised version)

2009-12-16T10:25:00.002+09:00

My first learning is Japanese, but I was interested in other language, too, English. English is used all over the world. If I can speak English, I can take communication people all over the world. So I was studying English at KGU. However I studied it first when I was junior high school student. English is most close language. I learned three languages since I elementary school. Now I introduce my language learning story and my dream to learn language.

It was a primary school student that I touched English first. I went to cram school then. And I took the English lesson there. The lesson was interesting. I enjoy learning English then. I learned few word and expression of English. When I became junior high school student, there is an English lesson as class. First class is interesting because, first class was game lesson. Probably the teacher thought that it had wanted us to come to like English. By virtue of him I like English. But the content of the class became difficult as the school year went up. So I gradually hate English. I poor remember grammar, so I hate it. And class was for high schools enter examination. It doesn’t interesting at all.

When I was high school student, I hate English yet. But I like speak English by ALT. ALT was very good teacher. I like to speak English with her. And her class was game class. So I enjoy her class. So I also like English. But I couldn’t understand grammar. I study English very hard to understand it. When I three grade students, my homeroom teacher was English teacher. He was very good teacher. He taught me English grammar with easy. I could understand it. I like English again. I thank him now. I’m studying English technical now.

When I entered KGU, I learned not English but Spanish, because I must chose other language. I wanted to learn to French, but I didn’t choose it. First I thought that it is spoken thirdly in the world. So if I can speak French, I can speak people all over the world when I go another country especially I go to African country. But when I read explanation paper, it was written that Spanish was spoken thirdly in the world. So I decided to learn Spanish. Spanish was very interesting language for me. It was easy to read and grammar was very simple. So I like Spanish very much. But I can’t like teacher. He was too serious for me. And he was little character so it difficult to adapt myself to him. I was also scary him. So I didn’t like him.

Future, I want to study English again because, I am interested in translation. I learned grammar when I was freshman but I can’t understand it enough. Translation requests great English power. So I want to study English grammar again. I also want to learn not only Spanish, but also on other language, and I can talk to people all over the world.

I ever study English much time, but I can use it little now. It is difficult to use second language free. So I want to study English more, and I want to make friends all over the world. It is my language learning story. Thank you for reading it.

42th Music Festival

2009-07-04T00:15:00.000+09:00

Music festival held in Kumamoto prefectural theater on 27th June. This day was after 2 days from my Birthday. Music festival is concert of KGU music club. We call this concert “MF”. Mandolin club which I belong takes part in this concert. My club takes part in this concert every year. But music that we play there is very easy every year. Because fresh mans also plays then every year. Of course I played there last year. But fresh mans didn’t plays then this year. Because fresh mans don’t set base. If they take part in this concert with this state, maybe they are trouble for progress with mandolin. So we decided to don’t take part in concert fresh mans. For that reason, music was more difficult than annual. We played 4 music, “Gozira”, “He is a pirate”, “Summer”, and “Ashitaka Sekki”. Ashitaka Sekki was difficult the best. I practiced this music very hard. Really, I wanted to stop the practice some frequency. But I beard up. I was very tense at playing. So I missed “Gozira” and “He is a pirate”. I regret it very much. But “Summer” and “Ashitaka Sekki” was very nice. I thought 2 music ware the best. My friends came and listened our play. I was very happy. They said that Mandolin club’s play was the best! Many people that listened the Mandolin club’s play, praised us. I enjoyed this concert.
