MOUSE PEACE (´･ω･`)

     I went to some place and ate and ate in winter vacation!

I went to Shimokitazawa with boy friend on December 25th.  I went to there first time.  I can’t know why some young people like Shimokitazawa.  After that, we saw “K-20” in movie theater of Ebina.  I was not interested in this movie, but it was very exciting!

My family went to relationship’s home on January 1 and 2.  I had nothing to do in there, so I ate confectionary that glandmother served us.  After that, I ate many sushi as dinner.

On January 5th, My father and I went to Samukawa shrine (left picture).  I saw new DVD of KAT-TUN (right picture) in father’s car.  Because I was pushed for assignments, I had no time.  We ate stall’s okonomi-yaki, roast chicken, potato and batter as lunch, so we were fullness!  I felt sick after I ate dinner.

I got fat about two kilogram during winter vacation!  I must become thin, or I will be able not to wear swimwear in Hawaii. X-(

     My boyfriend and I will be coming to a day when we have started seeing for half past a year.  We are going to go to see a movie on Chrismas.  A Couple usualy date on Cristmas Eve, why we don’t meet on this day?  Because I eat special food with my mother.  My father works on Decenver 24th, so my mother eat it alone.  I can’t stand.  I like my mother than him!  ha-ha

     On New Year’s Eve, I work part time after I eat soba with my famiry, and I am going to watch “Johnny’s cowntdown concert” on TV.  I go to both related house on New Year’s Day and January 2nd.  I will get some handsels!  January 3rd is my birthday, but I work part time.  May be… my boyfriend gives me a present at night.

     I am looking forward to winter vacation!  But, we must study for examination.  I will spend it with my feeling not clear.

There are single-sex schools and co-educational schools, each has advantages.  In single-sex schools, you have a lot in common with classmate.  You are similar talking topics, value system, and ways of thinking.  You can talk free in class, and concentrate on studying, club activities.  In contrast, you will encounter more minds in co-educational schools.  You will how to talk with the opposite sex and cooperate with them.  These are some of the difference between single-sex schools and co-educational schools.  When we choose a school, we should carefully consider each the merits and demerits.

I would like to introduce about “Seijin-shiki (成人式)”.  Seijin-shiki is the coming-of-age ceremony.  The age of majority in Japan is twenty, so this ceremony is for such new adults.  It is held annually on Coming-of-Age Day in January. The ceremony hold at local and prefectural offices and party among family and friends to celebrate being majority.

They go to the stated hall with men were hakama or suit, women were furisode.  They hear mayor’s congratulatory speech and take many pictures with friends in there.  It seems as if alumni meeting.  After the ceremony, they often gather in groups and go to party or go out drinking.

Recent seijin-shiki have many problem.  Participant decrease, many new adults speak with friends during government speech, some men obstruct speech and act up and so on.  They must know they were full-fledged an adult, but they don’t have consciousness of majority.

Our generation will be coming it the year after next.  I am looking forward to seijin-shiki, because I want to wear furisode!

     Hello!  My name is Rina.  I am student of Kanagawa Prefectural College of Foreign studies.  I live in Hadano , Kanagawa Prefecture.

     I like KAT-TUN.  Do you know KAT-TUN?  This group consists of six boys in Johnny’s bureau. KAT-TUN means member’s initial. (K:Kazuya Kamenashi, A:Jin Akanishi, T:Junnosuke Taguchi, T:Kouki Tanaka, U:Tatsuya Ueda, N:Yuichi Nakamaru)  KAT-TUN is very popular among young girls.  I usually go to their concert once the year.

     Especially, I like Tatsuya Ueda(on the right in picture).  He is good at playing piano, guiter, and boxing.  I yearn him and like rock music, so I bought an electric guitar when I was high school student.  But I have never played instrument, I didn’t practice.  I left the guitar for a year.  Then, I entranced this college.  There is light music club in this school.  I decided to belong to it.  I practiced hard the guitar in Summer vacation.  Last Saturday, We hold school festival.  I played “present / 3B LAB.☆” as “love knot”.  It was very fun to play music with band member!   If I gave up, I could’nt experience such a feeling!  I could make a good memory.  

     Please give me a comment and advice about this blog!

     When teachers want to know the result of a quiz quickly, he(she) sometimes tells　students to swap their paper each other’s.  This way of　paper swapping is common in many schools, but there are proponents and opponents with regard of this problem.

     Proponents are teachers mostly.  They think that is the quickest way to check studens’ result.  Teachers can save time too.  Proponents also say this practice stimulate students.

     On the other hand, opponents think students’ privacy have to protect.  Some students don’t want classmate to know one’s result. 

     Like this, this problem has proponents and opponents.  We should be careful in deciding which stance to choose.     

     Recent parents say should have cell phone for own child.  That may be true, but my opinion is different.  I disagree children have their own cell phones for three reasons.

     Firstly, children lose free.  Of course it is very safety, but I think theyalways are restrain by their parents.  Secondly,  children communicate ability decline.  If they usually talk on the phone or e-mail, they may be not able to speak directly well, understand person’s feeling.  What a sad things!  Thirdly, children get harmful information.  It bring many problem.  For example,  juvenile delinquency, schoolgirl prostitution, cyber bullying, and age of children’s first sex lower.

     These are the reasons why I disagree children have their own cell phones.        

     Station and train made me annoy.  There are many things and many kinds of people.  A crowded train every morning, a man hit me, a bad breath man and so on.  Especially, train’s time!  I take three trains to go to school, so I am pushed for time everyday.  I usually run in the station and school zone.  The train’s door close when I take just before, I want to cry.  I have to wait about ten minutes!  It is important for me even a ten minutes.

     I do something to relieve stress.  I sleep many times, because I want to escape from reality,  I eat delicious food,  I meet a boy friend (but sometimes he makes me annoy by contraries…),  and I lie in the house all day long in Sunday.  I need thinking time. Why I study English?  Why I go to school?  If I can sleep all the time…  If summer vacation continue eternally…  Oh!  I am not mental illness!  ha-ha :-P             

     Human brains have the ability to learn.  Then, dose a dog have this ability too?  To answer this question, Pavlov performed an interesting experiment to use his dog.

     This experiment, a bell was rung whenever food was put before the dog.  Pavlov continued it several weeks.  One day, after several weeks a bell was rung, food was not before the dog.

     A ball was rung, but the dog began to salivate.  When a bell was rung, the dog thought dinner time.

     The results showed a dog have the ability to learn clearly.  

I seldom listen to Western music. I listened to only “t.A.T.u” in western music when I was a junior high school student. I introduce this song. Do you remember them? They are Russian, so their song have a manner of singing I think. Let’s listen!

Not gonna get us
They are not gonna get us
Not gonna get us
Not gonna get us
They are not gonna get us
They are not gonna get us
Not gonna get us

They are not gonna get us
Not gonna get us

Starting from here, lets make a promise
you and me, let’s just be honest
We are gonna run, nothing can stop us
Even the night, that falls all around us

Soon there’ll be laughter and voices
And the clouds over the mountains
We’ll run away on roads that are empty
Lights from the airfield shining above you

Nothing can stop us, no no I love you
They are not gonna get us
They are not gonna get us
Nothing can stop us, no no I love you
They are not gonna get us
They are not gonna get us

They are not gonna get us (x5)

We’ll run away, to everything simple
Night will come down our guardian angel
We rush ahead the crossroads are empty
Our spirits rise they are not gonna get us

My love for you always forever
Just you and me all else is nothing
Not going back – not going back there
they don’t understand
they don’t understand us

Not gonna get us
Not gonna get us
Not gonna get us

They are not gonna get us
Not gonna get us

Nothing can stop us, no no I love you
They are not gonna get us
They are not gonna get us
Nothing can stop us, no no I love you
They are not gonna get us
They are not gonna get us
They are not gonna get us
Not gonna get us
Not gonna get us
