BR 2 06 ALADDIN and His Magical Lamp

I read ALLADIN and His Magical Lamp. This story is very famous one. I have watched this for a film before.

One day, a man whose name is Alladin found an old lamp and he tried to rubbed it. And suddenly a fairy came up from the lamp! He was very surprised at the scene. He thought that he was in dream. And the fairy could talk.

If I were in the scene, I must get surprise! I always think I wish I could talk with fairies and toys. It's very romantic and interesting! This book was easy to read. I had known this story but it is different between reading and watching with animations. Reading rouses original emotion and imagination.

Music Review

Do you know Kazuyoshi Saitoh? He is a one of singer song writer in Japan. He has some famous songs. But I know few people who knows this person. I will tell you some masterpieces of him. First, "Aruite-kaero". I think this song is the most famous song. I guess you have heard this song. And the other is "Wedding Song". I often listen this song in my room and even when I go outside. Kazuyoshi Saitoh's voice is very soft and tender.

He is very good at playing guitar. I like soft melody very much. The guitar sound makes me comfortable. One of my friend can play guitar very well and he plays and sings Kazuyoshi Saitoh's songs. I hope you will be able to listen this artist's songs.

MR 2-05 I AM LEGEND

Did you watch the film "I AM LEGEND"? It is kind of horror and SF movie. The main actor is Will Smith. He is one of my favorite actor. Do you know Will Smith is also a singer? I haven't known he had published some songs as a singer.

Let me write about this film. There are many zombies in this story but it is not so horrible as BIOHAZARD. I could watch all of this story.

Will Smith is the last survivor in NY. People had infected with unknown virus. And If people had infected with the horrible virus, they never walk under the sun because the virus destroied the system of immunity of Ultraviolet rays.

So Will Smith lives in N.Y. alone. And he never go outside after the sun has down. And he always fight with zombies to regain the peace world.

I hope you can enjoy this film when you watch it!

1, Because I have watched this film before and I know the story.

2, Her essay was romantic.

3, It was easy to understand and it was interesting to read.

Consequently I chose her movie reviews.

Most of people know the movie I think. As she introduced about the story, this movie is about world of toys. When I watched this I also thought that I want to be a toy!lol Toys spend their original daily life. Have you ever thought that toys talk reality? I sometime think about that. If so that, it is so romantic and fantastic. Am I romantist?laugh Toy Story is famous for all over the world. And every children who watched this movie think about my guess.

There are many kind of toys in the movie. I also like Mr.&Mrs. Potato. They are very funny! My most favorite thing is they can move their parts of face. They sometime mistake moving their parts. And Rex looks very scary but he is timidity and kind. It means "Don't judge a man by his appearance.":-) Buzz Lightyear is also good character. He has some kind of convenient and funny items with his body. He is very brave but sometime he make mistakes.

These characters are loved by people many years because they are charming and they have original own character.

Perhaps, toys can talk each other actually...

My Family

I read an essay of Mrs. Doubtfire at Miyo's blog. She wrote about her family and her father particularly. I really enjoyed reading her essay because her essay was easy to understand. She sometime fight with her father because her opinion and her father's opinion is different. I have also felt the feeling with my parents. I understand what she wants to say.

And she said she sometime feel frustration with her future and school life. I feel it too. Students always grope for their future-life. I think it is very important. When we were Jr. high students or high school students, almost student go to a higher school but after we graduate the University, we have to work... It is natural to feel frustration and worry about own future-life.

I really enjoyed reading her essay and it made me strong.

BR 2-04 Princess Mononoke

I have a book of Hayao Miyazaki. I bought books secondhand. I have found it 2 months ago but I read the book first. Princess Mononoke is very famous tale. I think you know too. I think Hayao Miyazaki is a genius because he is a imaginative man.
My most favorite take is when Sun and Ashitaka fight with Eboshi at forest of Mononoke. I can feel the reality in the book and I was very excited.
This tale teachs us the importance of the nature. Nowadays people cut so many trees and pollute the atmonphere. And animals have no foods, place to live and care their children. People don't care about the animals so much.
My most favorite part in this story is "Live! You are beautiful." which is Ashitaka said. Sun is human but she lives as a wild dog. Ashitaka tried to understand Sun's opinion and Eboshi's opinion but there is no way to live together.

Hayao Miyazaki produced many interesting stories. Especially Princess Mononoke is a precious srory for people of today.

There is so many community in our life. For example, sports club, classmates, school, family and company. Community is very important of our life because it gives us friendship and cohesion.

I want to write about international friends community. I like foreign culture, music, people and of course English. It was ten years ago when I started study English. The old ALT taught me how interesting to talk with foreigners. Ten years ago, I was not interested in English and foreign culture at all. And then I have been liked it since he taught me about it.

My international friends community is very important in my life. I have a lot of friends whose come from oversea. Australia, China, Korea, the U.S., Uganda and Italy. Of course I have some friends of exchange student in KGU. I often see them at the campus and talk with them about own daily life. And yesterday I had dinner with Italy friend and Korean friend.
