Romeo and Juliet

2009-01-30T17:00:00.003+09:00

I watched a movie. The name of movie is “Romeo and Juliet”. Romeo side and Juliet side were opposed to each other, but Romeo loved Juliet very much, and Juliet did too. Juliet was forced to get married to another man by her father. Of course she didn’t want to marry except for Romeo. So, Juliet consulted a priest about her personal affairs. Romeo was banished from the city because he killed a person although it was revenge. Juliet couldn’t go to Romeo by herself, so she was given a chemical which made her look like she was dead for several days from the priest. Her family held a funeral ceremony, because they assumed that she was dead. A friend of Romeo’s who didn’t know the fact told Romeo that Juliet was dead. Romeo was really shocked and went to Juliet. He found Juliet who was dead in a church, so Romeo drank poison he got in a certain shop. After he drinking it she woke up, and he found it, but it was too late to do anything. He was killed by poison, and Juliet shot herself to death. Both families who knew the incidents were reconciled each other.
The main character was Romeo and Juliet. This is title of this movie. They were rich each other, but their family were not friendly. Romeo was a sun of the Montague family and bravery man. He loved Juliet with all his heart. Juliet was a daughter of Capulet family and also loved Romeo. They had a reliable man. It was a priest. He was so kind and took Romeo and Juliet’s side. At the result, Romeo and Juliet could marry.
Romeo was very cool and Juliet was very beautiful. I thought this story was happy story and it will end happily, but my thinking was different. This story was very painful and doleful story. I was surprised, but it was very good story. When I watched last scene, I closed my eyes in spite of myself. I thought a priest is very good man. I have never watched such as this movie. So, it was very interesting movie for me.

Mission: Impossible

2009-01-29T23:43:00.002+09:00

I watched a movie. The name of movie is Mission: Impossible. Main character in this movie is Ethan Hunt. Tom Cruise performed as Ethan Hunt. He was very cool and a member of spy group. His group had a bright head and they could do how difficult things. Ethan Hunt also has nice brain and he penetrated betrayal his partner.
This story was Ethan Hunt worked with his partner as spy everyday. They trespassed others land, but Ethan’s partner were killed other people at their work. And Ethan felt bitter very much. However, in fact, some partner didn’t death. Claire Phelps also is a person of them. So, he worked with her again.

I watched this movie in my house with my grandmother and my sister. This movie was very difficult for me and I couldn’t understand easy, because this story was about spy and action film. I like action films, but I don’t like difficult film. So, I watched hard and I could understand somehow. It was more interesting movie than I had expected. I thought Tom Cruise was cool again. I thought Claire Phelps is good woman. So, I felt regrettable. And I don’t like Jim Phelps, because he betrayed many people. I don’t like betrayer. But Finally, Ethan Hunt was safe. It was good finale. This movie was very exciting movie.

My electronic dictionary

2009-01-28T22:00:00.003+09:00

I lost my electric dictionary on last week. When I went to back home, I found that it weren’t in my bag. I was very shocked. I can’t buy new electronic dictionary, because it is very expensive for me and my electronic dictionary may back. So, I use paper dictionary when I want to look up some words. My father bought me the electronic dictionary. We went to many stores to look for good one. My friend looked for my dictionary with me, but we couldn’t it yet. So, I’m very sad. I hope that my electronic dictionary will find.

He jumped into the river to help him, but it wasn’t person and it was garbage. He was depressed, because he has a series of misfortune recently, but he found a mask by the garbage. At the moment he put on the mask another day, his face became green and he looked another man. He usually lives with his dog in his house and only whiles he changes another Stanly, he could act positively. For example, he didn’t lose an argument with a landlady. And he tried many things for Tina

He helped Stanley when he was arrested and he was into a prison. The dog was bravery. Maybe, my dog is not so bravery. Tina was bad woman at first, but she told a truth. It was good that Stanley and Tina could safe finally. I want to watch Mask2.

I read a book. The book's name is "Watch Your Step Mr. Rabbit!" This book is interesting for me, because the action of main character in this story was very funny. This story is very short. There were many pictures, but there were few wards. So, I can read this book too easy. Mr. Rabbit is main character in this book. He was reading newspaper, but he didn't get the length his foot. So, he set foot in a road paved with concrete before concrete sets and he couldn't move his foot. People around him tried help from there, but foot of Mr. Rabbit didn't stuck easily.

2009-01-07T20:30:00.004+09:00

I read a book. The name of book is "ARTHUR TRICKS THE TOOTH FAIRY" Arthur is main character in this book. He has a younger sister. Her name is D.W. Arthur said D.W. Tooth Fairy gave a dollar to me, because his baby teeth took. D.W. also wanted a dollar, and she tried pull her tooth. However, she was told your teeth are perfect to dentist when she went to dentist. So, she was disappointed. After she was saw a dentist, she went to museum with Arthur and their mother. And she was bought shark's tooth by her mother. That night, D.W. put shark's tooth under her pillow. And Arthur changed the tooth to a dollar. He gave him sister to him dollar. Next morning, D.W. pleased very much!
I thought Arthur is very kind when I read last scene, because he gave a dollar he was gave by Tooth Fairy to his sister. If I were Arthur, I would not do so.
I found about difference between Japanese custom and American custom. While they put their teeth under their pillow in America, we throw our teeth on roof when our tooth falls out in Japan. I felt this book is funny and I think good reading this book, because I can find about American custom.

In New Zealand 4/8/2008

We looked round Unitec with my classmates in this day. Unitec was a spacious building, but I think that there are very good facility in KGU better than Unitec. However, there were a lot of cafeterias in Unitec. I didn’t know the system in there, but I thought this university is very funny for me. I had a razagne at lunch.

Cheese was on cracker. We liked it very much. After Yui came back her home, I handed over souvenir that I brought from Japan to my host mother. The souvenir was lilies, a small vase that was made with bamboo, origami and chopsticks. She pleased very much and she wreathed the wall with my souvenir. I was happy when I found it. After we ate dinner, she ate lilies. She said “It is very nice” I couldn't eat the lolly, because it is not good taste for me. However, the taste is Japanese taste. But I tried eating it.

In New Zealand 2/8/2008, 3/8/2008

2009-01-04T14:46:00.005+09:00

I will write diary that I experienced in New Zealand.

I left Japan. It was first time in my life. I got up early in this day. My sister cut some peach and she also made miso soup in early morning. My father took me to KGU. And we went to airport in Fukuoka from Kumamoto. We felt a lot of check is troublesome. However, when I got on a plane, I was excited to go to New Zealand. We cashed money in R.S. Then, she gave me Singapore dollars about $2 to us as free gift. In Singapore airport, there are a lot of tree and flower. It was very beautiful and big flower bed. The airport also has much store and the each store was very cute. We had waiting time and we dropped into the lots store during our waiting time. And when we were waiting in floor, we heard examiner said “whose jacket is this?” And I looked it, I found it is mine! What with this and that, we could get on a plane. There are many foreigners in there. We had in-flight meal, but it was not so good for us. The sky and scene that we saw from plane was very beautiful and I took some pictures. Our flight time was about 13 hours. So, we were very tired. Next day, we visited Unitec. We studied in there. When we were waiting our host family, some people came in. A grandmother came in there. She was my host mother. It eased me, because she looks very kind. And we went to her house by her car. There is a cat in her house and him name is sam. We introduced ourselves and we sat down at the table. My host mother prepared Sushi for me. I was surprised at the Sushi, because the sushi had avocado, but it was so delicious. And I took a shower and I slept in this day. I was very happy.

My research

2009-01-04T13:25:00.006+09:00

When I went to New Zealand, I was research about difference between staple food of Japan and New Zealand. So, I will write about my research.

1. Introduction　
Staple food is the food that we eat mainly in our everyday life. In Japan, carbohydrates like rice are the common. For example, rice ball, sushi and curry rice. Japanese often eat many carbohydrates together. Do they do so in New Zealand as well? I researched about difference between the staple food and carbohydrates of New Zealand and Japan.
In Japan, most people eat rice every day, but they eat bakery goods too. Recently, young people eat breads every breakfast and lunch in Japan. What do they eat every day in New Zealand? Perhaps people in New Zealand eat baked breads every day too. What is the staple food and carbohydrates in New Zealand diets?

2. In Kumamoto 　
Japanese staple food is rice. Side dishes are made to match rice. For example, pickled ume, miso soup and fish are good with rice. Many people also like sushi which is made rise. A Japanese-style confectionery called rice cake covered with bean jam also exists in Japan. It is made of rice and it is popular among Japanese. And there are other many foods which are made of rice. For example, bread that is made from powder of rice is sold at supermarket lately.
Almost all Japanese people eat rice at breakfast, lunch and dinner in Japan. However, we eat bread and noodles as staple foods too. At the present day, although potato isn’t a staple food, some people eat potato as staple food with butter, cuttlefish and so on in Hokkaido. Even so, almost all people live on rice. That is to say, our staple food is carbohydrate.
The reason why rice has been our staple food is that it suits the Japanese climate. Rice is our main food and main source of life for Japanese, but it depends on the weather whether there is a large harvest of rice or not. Rice determines people’s life and fate in its hands.
However, rice was not our staple food from ancient times. Before rice farming started 2000 years ago, the staple food was millet. The millet was barnyard grass, barley and beans. Japan’s population was about 200,000 before rice farming started, but now, it is about 100,240,000.
Rice is a carbohydrate and has much nourishment. Rice also contains a lot of protein, calcium, magnesium, vitamins, dietary fiber and so on.
Finally, Japanese often eat the many carbohydrates together. For example, we put some potatoes in curry and put curry on the rice. Sometime, we also eat bread with pasta. Potato and rice are both carbohydrates. Bread and pasta are carbohydrates too. It is usual for us to eat some carbohydrates together at a time. However, it is different in New Zealand.

3. In NZ
People of New Zealand haven’t a notion of staple food, but they have a concept of main food. I sent out questionnaires to my host mother, her friend and my friend’s host family in New Zealand about their main food at breakfast, lunch and dinner about 15 people. According to the survey, their main food was potatoes and bread. Though cereal also popular in people of New Zealand, almost of New Zealander eat bread and potatoes every day. They also eat carbohydrates as their main food. It is same to Japanese about thing that we eat carbohydrate as staple food.
Potatoes contain much glucose and food value is high. We can cultivate potatoes and sweet in poor soil. Generally, the advantage of growing potatoes is that it is easier than growing grain and good efficiency. However, potatoes do not keep for a long time and they have to have protein as a side dish.
As for me, I ate bread every morning in my home in New Zealand, but we didn’t eat bread at dinner, because dinner is a big meal. Almost every day, we ate meat and potatoes at dinner, for example, beef and mashed potatoes or chicken and baked potatoes, and even lion meat! However, we didn’t eat carbohydrates together. For example, potatoes and rice or noodles and bread together, because according to my host mother “it is too much carbohydrate for me.”
My host mother often cooks mashed potatoes and baked potatoes of Kumara to me. It is a kind of potato and carbohydrate. I ate this as staple food in New Zealand. She taught me how to cook the baked Kumara. It is very easy. This is the recipe. (At first, cut the Kumara. Next, mix the Kumara with butter and soy sauce. And bake it in oven.) I made it when I got back to Japan. And my family said me “good”. Many people who live in New Zealand knows many recipes how to cook, because to make a lot of kind dishes with only one carbohydrate. (Though the main foods are potatoes and bread, they have a lot of recipe to enjoy much kind of dinners in New Zealand.) Kumara looks like sweet potato and it is Maori language. There are some Maori people in New Zealand. They learn fishing and they ate fish as staple food during 150 years. However, they couldn't’t eat other food, because the climate changed and it ruined plants and animals. And they made a field of Kumara and Taro. Then, they also eat potatoes and bread as staple food every day.
As to whether or not they eat carbohydrate together, the question about it was split right down the middle. The people who answered “I don’t eat them together” and “I often eat carbohydrate together” were about the some. One person who answered “I don’t eat it together” explained “because it is too much carbohydrate for me”. Another person who answered “I often eat carbohydrate together” explained “I eat bread and noodles” and “I eat potatoes and rice!” It is usual to eat carbohydrate together in Japan, but it was not usual in New Zealand.

4. Conclusion　
From the above research, Japanese live on rice and we eat rice everyday. Our staple food is carbohydrates. In addition, we eat carbohydrate together at the some time. And it is usual for us. On the other hand, though people of New Zealand haven’t a notion of staple food, they eat mainly bread and potatoes. And my research said they are also carbohydrates. However, there are both people who eat carbohydrates together and people who don’t eat them together. In brief, it was split right down middle.

Rumpelstiltskin 2-7

2008-12-24T13:58:00.005+09:00

I read a book. The name of book is "Rumpelstiltskin" It is name of little man. This little man was painted in this book cover. There was miller and he boasted everyone. He had him daughter and her name was Anna. One day, when a king threw near the miller's village, the miller, daughter's father, said to king "my daughter can change the straw. She cans it gold." When the king heard it, king took her to castle. And he ordered her to change the straw into gold. and he said to her "If you can it you will be wife, but If you can't it you will die. " However, she actually can't change anything. So she was at her wit's end. That night, when Anna cried in room, she heard a voice near the window. A little man was out of window and he asked her to open the window. And she promised him “If you can change it gold, I will give my necklace." And a little man started changing the straw into gold. Next morning, she got up and she found there are much gold around her. Then king came in the room and he delighted, but he wasn't satisfied and he took her to other room. There are more straw than yesterday's room and he said same word yesterday. She cried again, but a little man came too. And Anna promised him that I will give my ring in this time. And he started to change the straw. Next morning, she got up and she found much gold. Then, king came there, but he wasn't satisfied yet and he took her to next room and he said "If you can change this, you can be my wife." However she can't do something like that. So she were helped a little man it that night too. This day also a little man and Anna promised. The condition was you have to give me your child who born first. Anna accepted the promise, because she thought that he will forget this promise. And he started doing him work. When Anna got up, there are too much gold. King looked it and he pleased. And he married Anna. Anna became a queen. She had born her boy after a lapse of several year. One day, she heard a rap on the window. A little man was there. Anna remembered a promise and she drove back him in this day, but he also came thee next day. Anna didn’t want to give her baby. Then a little man gave her reservation. It was you must find my name within three days. She didn’t know him name, but king talked a tale that when he came from back forest at dinner time. He looked a strangest little man. She found that it is about a little man! King also talked about that appearance and he said the man sang Rumpelstiltskin is my name. When she heard the tale, she smiled. The little man came her room in that night and she said “your name is Rumpelstiltskin.” A little man was surprised and he disappeared outside her window.
When I looked this book, I felt this book is difficult for me, because I usually read short books. So, it was long for me. However, a lot of pictures were painted in this book. So I tried reading this book and I can understand this story. Pictures of a little man, Rumpelstiltskin, were not so cute, but I could enjoy this book. When I read this book with friend of mine, we looked up an unfamiliar word in a dictionary. So, we can read more smoothly. I feel good that I tried reading this book.

So, I couldn't understand this story perfectly, but I liked it very much and I laughed to watching this movie. I have ever watched it a long time ago, but I didn’t remember its story. So when I watched this movie, I felt it is good story afresh. I like the best character is Woody, because he was kind to his friends and no matter how hard things were, he never give up. I also like Mr. Potato Head, because if his parts of face come off, he didn’t mind and he could speak. They were too fanny toys. The best an unforgettable scene was reached the end of scene. Woody lighted a match, but at that very moment a car swept by them and fire of a match was put out a fire by it in a matter of seconds. When I looked the scene, I burst out laughing in spite of myself. This story bore up to me.
The main characters of toys were Woody and Buzz Lightyear. The main characters of boy were Andy and Sid. Woody have been in Andy’s house in the old days with other toys. He was called constable by all of toys and he organize their. So, Woody is trusted by them. Buzz Lightyear has the newest function in himself. He came to Andy’s house as new friend at Andy’s birthday. And he thought that I am real ranger.
Andy liked Woody all of toys that Andy have. Woody had known that thing. However, at the Andy’s birthday, Andy was given a new toy by his mother. The toy’s name is Buzz Lightyear. He was the newest toy in other toys. Since then, Andy’s favorite toy was Buzz. Woody was jealous him and he persecuted to Buzz. One day, Woody shoved Buzz to the out of windows at their fight. And harsh trip was start. They were found by Sid, rascal, in amusement arcade. Then Sid took them to him house. Sid likes remodeling his toys and Woody and Buzz were remodeled by him, but they escaped from him a close squeeze. When Woody and Buzz came to the pinch, Sid’s toy helped them. So Woody and Buzz escaped through their help. However, when they came home Andy’s house, they found car that Andy took was running, because Andy’s family move to a new house. So Woody and Buzz had to run after the car. Though they couldn’t catch the car easily, their friends, Mr. Potato Head, Slinky Dog and so on, helped Woody and Buzz and they could go back beside Andy safely.

And we also were had makeup by hairdresser.
After that, we were had dressing the long-sleeved kimono in my house. My friend’s acquaintance did dressing for us, because we can’t do it ourselves. I had ever dressed a kimono when I was childhood and it was the festival day for children aged seven. So, it was second times to dressing kimono. However, I have no recollection of dressing it and when I dressed the long sleeved kimono, I was very happy.
And we went to Ninomaru Park. At first, we took under the maidenhair tree against the background of maple tree. Maple tree was very beautiful. We joined another friend in there. They usually take their photos in studio, but we took our photos in the park. The wind was blowing hard and it also snowed yesterday. So, it was really cold. My toes and fingertip couldn’t feel numb with cold and my face may draw with cold. I hope that smiled in the photos. We took the photos against the background of Kumamoto castle. When we were taken, three Korean sightseers came to our place and we took some photos with them. We took it with a call. The call is “hi Kimuchi~.” I also took some photos with my sister and my grandmother. Each of us was taken about 100 photos by photographer, because they are mother of friend’s friend. It took to take our photo about four hours. And we were taken with our nail. A friend of mine painted my nails for this day. The color of nail is white and purple. Lame also painted by her. My nail looks very cute. I had never painted my nail. So, I liked it very much. Though it was too cold and I wanted to go back home, we had a very nice time.
When I undressed my kimono, I found that had a nettle rash over my arm. I don’t know the reason why I had it, but maybe, the reason is I was under the maidenhair tree. However, it healed up soon.
This day’s dinner was rice mixed with vegetables and meat. It was too delicious. I had a wonderful memory. I slept a deep sleep this day, because I was too tired. However, I was in a happy mood when we were taken photos. And I’m looking forward to seeing my old friends at the coming of age day.
