How to take achive success in Writing IVc

2008-01-30T11:13:00.000+09:00

I think three steps to take achive success in Writing IVc.

First step, next year student must to have typing speed trial skill. Because, this writing class do typing speede trial. If student write over 150 words three times, the student don't have to write next class. Therefore, typing speed skill is very important.

Second step, students have to attendance every week in writing class. Because, most important thing is attendance. If students don't attendance or skip class over three times, the student can't get credit. Most important thing for student to get credit. So, attendance is important.

Third step, students has to promiss hand in homework deadline. If student don't promiss deadline to hand in homework, the student can't follow another students. And, the student may be couldn't get credit.

There are three step, I think necesally to get credit in writing class for next year student.

6th essay Learning with computer

2007-12-21T16:27:00.000+09:00

Learning with computer
Introduction
I introduce this essay. This essay’s topic is “Learning with computer”. I learn with computer a lot of things. For example, I use computer are writing e-mail, send attendance mail, research media, computer class, Typing speed trial, writing essay, writing blog, view blog, comments, review, research job and watch movie and listening music and so on.

Before Writing III
Research media… I often research media what I want to know thing. For example, I research my favorite actor and actress, movie, music and university and so on. I think everyone use computer or internet to research what they want to know things.

Writing e-mail … I use computer when I write e-mail for my host family in Minnesota and in Germany, my English teacher and my friends and so on. I can connect with relationship with my host family. I like computer’s e-mail system. As far as distance from Japan to America and Germany, I can send e-mail as soon as possible.

Computer class…When I was fresh man in Kumamoto Gakuen University, I have to major in computer class. At the class, I learned use computer. For example, how to use excel, e-mail system, power point and internet and so on.

During Writing III and IV
Typing speed trial…We have to typing speed trial. Teacher decided today’s topic, and student written about that things. We need more over 150 words in 5 minutes. It is too difficult for me. But, I did do my best, I could written more over 150 words. After written typing speed trial, we have to send attendance mail add typing speed trial file and comment for our teacher. If written more over 150 words student who don’t need written typing speed trial. Therefore, the student only send attendance mail add comment what will you do on this time for our teacher.

Writing essay… We have to writing essay. This semester we have to written six essays. First essay was written about mega essay. Second essay was written about favorite place. Third essay was written about movie essay. Forth essay was written about community life. Fifth essay was written about TV program. Six essay was written about learning with computer.

For the first time, it is too difficult for me, but now I could better writing blog. I could write bolg more over 100 words and I could know how to add pictures on my page. Therefore, now I like write blog.

View blog… Our class students have own blog on google network. We can see another student blog, if I want to see another students blog. We have to see another student blog and write comment on another student’s blog. For example, we have to write that what is most impress the essay, why do you think, advice for another student how to improve English skill and how to write essay and so on. Everyone’s essay is very good. Therefore, I couldn’t write advice.

Reading book… We have to reading English book and we have to write impression that read the book. In spring semester, we have to read 15 English books. In fall semester, we have to more than 15 English books. I don’t like read book. Therefore, it is too difficult for me that read English book. I really need English-Japanese dictionary. If I didn’t have English-Japanese dictionary, I couldn’t read English book, because I don’t have English vocabulary. I want have more English vocabulary, so I have to need more read English books.

Comments… We have to write comment on another student and our teacher’s blog post. For example, we write on the our teacher’s blog post and another student’s essay on the student’s blog post. Sometime, another student write on my blog’s essay. I like read what is another student writes comment on my blog post.

Review… Spring semester, we write restaurant review. I written “The WATAMI” what Japanese style bar restaurant in all over Japan. The restaurant is very famous in Japan. Why I write “The WATAMI”, because I like the restaurant and my friends has part time job at the restaurant. Another student writes “coffee shop”, “HAMAKATU”, and so on. Fall semester, we write movie review what is “Toy story”. We write “Toy story” about character, story introduce, director, company and when this movie completion and so on. This review has to write more than 350 words. It is little difficult for me. I watched “Toy story 1” and I written “Toy story” review on my blog post.

Skills
Spelling… I could learned many vocabulary’s spelling this class, because I have to typing English vocabulary and have to write essay, review and comment and so on. Therefore, I learn about collect English vocabulary spelling.

Grammar… I learn about grammar in this class. I couldn’t write long grammar, but I gradually write essay, review and comment. I could write a little bit long grammar than before. I think another student learn about English grammar too.

5th essay TV
Introduction
5th essay is about TV. I’ll introduce about Technologies, TV Company, Animation, Movie and screen size. I compare between Japan and America. Sometime, I compare between Japan’s TV screen size and British’s TV screen size.
Technologies
Japan has very high quality TV technologies Company. For example, SONY company, Panasonic company, Viera company, Sanyo company, Aquos company and so on. Especially, Japanese likes Sony company and Panasonic company, because, there company are very high quality. Japan has three type of TV. There are Aquos TV and “Chi-deji” TV (Japanese called) and analog TV. Between 2011, we have to change analog TV to “Chi-deji” TV.
America has good quality technologies. But, I think Japan has more high quality technologies.
TV Company
Fuji television is the most poplar TV Company in Japan. They have a lot of poplar TV programs. For example, drama is “Garireo” and animations are “one-piece”, “Chibi-Maruko chan”, “Sazae-san” and variety TV program is “Waratte-iitomo” and so on. Fuji TV has a character.
Japan television is some poplar TV programs. For example, animation is “Meitantei-Konann” and variety TV program is “Sekai Marumie TV” and so on.
TBS is the second poplar TV Company in Japan. They have poplar TV programs. They are “FNS music festival”, “K-1”, “Gakkou-he-ikou” and “Pitannko-kann-kann” and so on. I like TBS TV company the most.
Television Asahi has some poplar TV programs. They are “music station”, “News station”. And, This Company has very poplar animation. That is “Doraemon”. “Doraemon” is the most famous animation in Japan.
NHK is governmental TV Company. So, This Company has many News TV programs. Therefore, children don’t like this TV channel. But, another NHK’s channel has a lot of animation TV program. Adult likes NHK’s News TV programs. And, NHK has most famous music TV program in New Year’s Eve. The program name is “red and white music festival”. Almost Japanese watch this TV program.
Animation
In Japan have a lot of famous animation. For example, they are “Sazae-san”, “Chibi-Maruko chan”, “Doraemon” and “one-piece” and so on. A lot of animation made in Japan, they are very popular all of the world.
In America has a lot of animation. For example, it is Disney animation and so on. All of the world people like Disney animation.
Movie
In Japan have a lot of movies. In Japan, there are some movies Company. There are “Sho-chiku” movie Company, “Touhou” movie Company and so on. Most famous Japanese movie is “last samurai”.
In America has a lot of movies. And, America’s movie is very high quality and big. America have very popular movie place where is Hollywood.
Screen size
America’s TV size is very big. Japan’s TV has small TV screen size and middle TV screen size and big TV screen size. In British, low income people have big TV screen size. Usually income people have middle TV screen size. High income people (rich people) have very small TV screen size or haven’t TV. Why low income people have big TV screen size, because, low income people like soccer game. Therefore, the people want to watch soccer game on big screen size TV.
Conclusion
I think, Japan have most high quality and high technologies. And, Japan have very famous TV program around the world. I think, if people have not TV, people can not live. TV is necessary thing. [556 words]

I introduce my favorite restaurant "Za Watami". There is Japanese bar. I often go to there with my friends. The places where "Kamito-ri" and "Shimoto-ri". "Za Watami" where we can feel relaxed. There have a lot of private room and some counter. There's lighting little bit dark. By grace of lighting little bit dark, we can relax and chatting with my friends long time.

There's stuff is very kind to customer. They greeted customer with open arms by saying " Welcome to Za Watami". They receive our order. Then, they get down on the floor. And, they listening to our order with smilling. We go out of there when there's stuff called us by saying " How was foods tast?" and " How was our restaurant?". Then, we chatting with there's stuff.

Now, there hold " early summer fair". Maybe, I'll go to there on this weekend. So, I want to try to eat it!!

I recommend menu are fried cheese ball, "Za Watami" salad, fried gristle, samon sushi, jiaozi and pibimpap. Food is very delicious and reasonable price. I hope that add "Tonsoku"[

I recommend drink menu are cassis orange, cassis grapefruit and kahlua milk. If you come in " Za Watami" before stuff deel coupon in front of there. You should get it!! Because, you can drink free first drink.
