Learning computers

Computers are indispensable for us. Many people use computers at school, working place, home, and many places. Some company need computers license for work, so computers is very important for us. However, I can’t use computers well. I want computers license and I want to touch type.
Before Writing iii & IV
Sometimes I used my computers. I didn’t use to learn English my computer. So, I didn’t have my blogs and mail address. I used some homepages ‘Yahoo’ and ‘Google’. It is very useful. I often check some national or international news, show business news, sport, and so on. I could get a lot of information easily with computers. It was enough for me. I could understand about Japan. Actually, I was interested in show business news only. If my computers don’t use then, it is not problem. I don’t like computers so much.
During Writing iii & IV
I have to take this class in sophomore, so I had my mail address and my blogs. This is good for me. To write my blogs in English is interesting for me. However, I can’t write sentence in English well. Even if I don’t understand those, it is good for me. I can use a computer a little by the class. My teacher and assistants tell us how to use a computer. They are kind. I can’t type very fast, so I often practice typing. My teacher told us typing game. It is interesting. I have to read many books this class and I have to write about the book on my blog. I’m studying a lot of books this class. Maybe I can watch my favorite books as movie, so I look for this with computer. Computer is very useful.
After Writing iii & IV
When I finish this class, I often use my computer. I think so, because computer is very important for me. If my computer breaks, I have in trouble!!! I can’t live without my computers.

Book review 2-15

I read American life. When I went to America, I don't know about America, I have in trouble many times. I always think "Why!?"
I learned American dream in America. My host parents said "American dream is house, car, and so on." American dream is written in this book.
There are 50 states in America. Alaska is the largest state.
American eat dinner early time. Most American s eat dinner in 6 p.m.
Americans can get driver license when they are 16. Also, when they are 15, they can drive with their parents. Maybe it is like practice. I think so. This book is interesting.

Commercial message

What is good commercial? I think that it doesn’t have a great influence on children, we can understand easily and it makes me happy. On the other hand, what is bad commercial? It has a great influence on children, we can’t understand. It is not interesting.
Reason
Many children watch on TV in recently years, because they who play in park or somewhere are less than before. So many children watch various commercial. If children watch commercial such as violence, smoking or alcohol every time, they are interesting in it. To make a commercial we need attention. Foe example, commercial of smoking or alcohol need some big sign. All company is putting in commercial “Don’t smoking until 20 years old.” or “Don’t drink until 20 years old.” Its sign is very important.
I request them to make easy commercial, because it I don’t understand bout products by commercial, I don’t want to buy the product. I think that most people have same thinking. Also, I want to writ this in big letters for old people. We often don’t notice important phrases or word. I think that writing commercial in big letters is important. Those sometimes don’t have in trouble.
Commercial of interest is important. I think so, because it sometimes makes us happy. Also, we can talk about interesting commercials in school or anywhere. We think that “I want to buy this!!” or “I want to try this!!” However, if the commercial is not interesting, I don’t watch this or I don’t want to buy product. Do you think so?
Conclusion
Watching many good commercial sometimes is good for children. It doesn’t have a great influence on children. Putting attention in commercial children might think “alcohol and smoking is bad for children.” Writing in big letters is good for everyone. If I have in trouble about this, it doesn’t big problem. Because, writing in big letters is not wrong. Commercial of interest is important. We are interesting in the product by the commercial.

I read "Johnny English". Mr. Bean is famous actor, I think so. He acts Secret Service agent "Johnny English".
He often gets the wrong man or is in the wrong place. Now, suddenly, he's English's Number One Agent (but only because of one of his mistakes!). And his first job? Security for the Queen's crown. Then he wants to be King of England! Johnny’s job is not going to be easy. Can he do it?
I don't think so, because he is strange man. However, this is movie. So maybe the project is success!!

Community Life

Community life
Community life is important for us. I think that we live in community life, so we can grow up our mental and so on. There are communities in college, part- time job, family and various places.
College
Most my friends are same age as me, so I can talk anything easily. A always don’t have to attentive to their. For example, when I went to my first class in my college, there are not my friends then. Because this is my first time!! I don’t know everyone. But if they are same age as you, you can talk easily, can’t you? I think so. Kumamoto is very small, so they might know about my other friends. You can find similarity between you and them. I think that you can enjoy your conversation.
Part- time job
I’m going to my part- time job, but I attentive to my co- workers. They are older than me. But I think I can grow up various things. For example, there is ‘honorific’ in Japan. If I can’t use honorific, people think that it is rude. I think I have to respect to older people. Also, older people are long to live in community life, so I can talk about my future, my human relations and love affair. Moreover they might treat you something. It is good, isn’t it? I have to attentive to older people, but I can experience various things.
Family
Family is very important for our community life. Because I think the basis of community is learn by our family. If the children can’t learn about community, they can’t live well. Most parents want to bring up their children, nice boy and nice girl. I think if they can’t communication to their family, they have something in trouble. I think that the education of children is important.
Conclusion
I think that there are communities in various places. People can grow up in community life.

Culture

When I went to America, I experienced American culture. First, American takes a bath in the morning. But Japanese take a bath in the evening, so when I took a bath in the evening, my host family asked me “Why!?” I wanted to ask too “Why do you take a bath in the morning!?” It is different culture between Japan and American. Next, I found that American is very friendly, because even if they don’t know each other, they can speak easy. For example, When I went to super market with my host family, I talked about American sweets.

My favorite place

My favorite Place
My favorite place is my house. There are my room, my family and my pet in my house. There is not the place that I can relax anywhere.
My room
My room is comfortable. It is some larger than my family, because my sister and brother had used the room with me. Now, I’m using the room alone. I like listening music, reading book and watching DVD. There are favorite CDs, books and DVDs in my room, so I can listen to music, reading book and watching DVDs anytime. I like sleeping, so I especially like my bed in my room. I can always do a favorite thing.
My family
My family is nice and they know anything about me, because they have lived with me for 20 years. We often go to somewhere together. If I have a trouble that I can’t say my mother and my father, I talk about this to my sister, my cousin or my aunt. They sometimes don’t hear me seriously. They often say some jokes, but they try to give me a boost.
My pet
My pet is very cute and interesting. He is a mongrel dog, so he is very strong. Maybe he is 13 years old this year. If he was a human, he would be about one hundred years. His body is beige, but his paw is white and short. So he can’t go up and down the stairs well. It is cute and it is interesting that I find that he goes up and down the stairs hard. He makes me happy.
Conclusion
As you can see, my house is my best position. When I am in my room, I can refresh and relax that I do some favorite thing. When I am with my family in my house, I can stay unaffected myself and I can see my tearful face in their presence. They are more experienced than me, I can ask easily. I take a load off my mind. When I take care of my pet, I relaxed in a smile. My pet is not smart, however his action is funny. The place that I can cheer up is my house!!
