BR-2 How mountains are made

Today I read this too. I like this book. This book tell me how mountains are made just like the title. However there are many another information. That was that how the earth was changing , what is happening under ground, how earth quake happen. When I was reading this book I feel like I'm taking some high school class in English. I could know some words that I didn't know. So I could learn many things which are not only new vocabulary but also knowledge of mountains from this book. For example I learned that under the outer shell is a layer of hot, partly melted rock called magma. The rock plates float on top of the hot magma. The earth's plates are always in motion.
It was fun for me to reading this book because I could learn many things from this book.

Dialy

Hello guys! It's been while,isn't it? How's everything going?? I'm fine. And I hope you guys too. I have many staff to do these days. I have to do Power words and this blogs and have a Christmas party and drinking. Power words is one of homework which I'm not good at it. It is kind of vocabulary practice program. Of course it's going to be good for me but you know it's kind of boring work. And hey!! this year is almost over, huh?? Time is running so freaking first,huh? Oh shoot this year is so first for me. I think that because I was so busy more than I was the previous year. But anyway I was having fun though. So many good things happened this year. Mmmm..... of course there were also bad thing. But it's OK. I hope I will having next year like this year.

BR-1 Day light Night light

I read this book today.
Maybe you can know by title. This book is written about lights. This book said that our world is full of lights. Even though it's night there are lights. Most of lights in our world are from something which are hot and things which are not hot reflect lights from something which are hot. Then our worlds become full of lights. Even though we are in very dark night first we can not see anything but after a while we can see things.

This book was really interesting for me. This book made me think and remenber me many things. I think that a thing which most give us light is the sun. It is so hot. Maybe hot is not enough to express how hot it is. But other planet is shining as the sun. We just can not see how bright are they in day time because of the sun. But as people know , night time we can see they are not so bright but I like them and looking up sky in night.

I wrote this in other class!!

Hello everyone. I’m sophomore in KGU. Today I ‘d like to talk about a things which I realized it’s important to learn language through studying English in this college.
I realized that facing with a person and having courage to speak are meaningful to learn English through my college life. First I will talk about my experience. After that I will talk about my friend who inspired me and made me realize that. In conclusion I will talk about what I will do with the experience.Firstly I will talk about my experience. In spring last year I talked with another country people in English. That was first time having a conversation with another country people in English. Might be it didn’t deserve to call a conversation because I couldn’t understand what were he saying and speak in English.Here’s interesting story at the moment.
My friend said to me “What’s up?” when I met him.Of course I didn’t know the meaning.
I was “wait what do you mean? What’s up? …..What is UP!” I looked up and said “it’s …..sky ”He was laughing at me. After that I knew that means hello. After this funny accident I though I want to listen better, speak better, know more slung. I tried to hard work to improve especially speaking and listening skills.After spring last year I could speak in English better than spring.
It was still not good but I could greet exchange students. However there was another problem.
I realized that it’s nothing even I could speak English if I don’t have any idea to talk about!
Now it’s not big problem because I can speak better than before. But at the time I was nerves and shy. So I couldn’t have conversation in English especially with a person whom I first met.
Secondly I will talk about my friend who inspired me. She is in same major and full of energy and nice to everyone. A thing I surprised is that even as she is talking with exchange student in English she won’t change nothing that.Her English skills was not so higher than me.Her style was looked like really bravely for me.I was wondering how she is doing that and how can I talk like her.After while I noticed that when she have a conversation always she talk first and can switch funny and serious.And I realized that facing with a person and having courage to speak are meaningful to learn English. In conclusion, fortunately I could have opportunity to study abroad. I will go to a college where there is no Japanese without me. It’s going to be very tough study abroad. However I won’t be afraid that because I know what is the meaningful thing to learn English.

Essay 2-6 Learning with computer

Hello every body. How are you doing? I'm fine. A computer is used anywhere in these days. For example they are being used in school, college, office and library. Maybe we can not live without computers anymore. Most of each family has their own computer in Japan now. I'm thinking that perhaps each person will have their own computer in 20 years. So this time I would like to write about computers and why are they so popular now and what they can. And I'm going to write about what I learned from computers.

First, I will write about what they have. Recent computers have so many function. Maybe that was not so many when they were on sale. I think that with only several decades their functions have evolved into really great functions. Now they can support writing some report with a program which is called Microsoft Office Word or Microsoft Office Excel. These kind of functions are really useful especially for us I mean for students or maybe some business men.

As I wrote they have so many functions. I want to pick up one function and write about it. Maybe this is the biggest program in functions which computers have. It's Internet. This is so useful. This function make computer's possibility change into unlimited because it is able to bring many function from Internet. And it can connect people in all over the world with some website. For example face book is a one of famous website which can make friends in all over the world. If you use the face book even you separate with your friend you can keep in touch with them.

Next is about a difficulty with using computer. For me I'm having difficulty with using computer a lot. Computers are really useful for me and help me many times. But sometimes they are annoying me. Some time they erase my date or my report. It won't happen a lot but it really make me mad.

In conclusion, I will write about what I learned from computers. Computer made me realized many things. For example I learned many viewpoint with many opinion in Internet. They have a lot of informations. But I think that it's up to us to how much we learn from there. So I will try to learn something from there till get a answer what I want.
