Learning with computers
There are a lot of computers around us. For some people, the internet is indispensable. Computer is the most essential for us. I use computer about three times in a week. When I have homework, I always use computer in my house or in the school. When I use beginner, I don’t know how to use the computer, but now I know anything. I will write about computer.

We use computer every Wednesday, because we use computer at the writing class. We use this about one year. I learned how to make blog at the first class.
Typing
We should typing speed trial every time. We type each topic. It is different topic every time. Some time it is very easy, some time not easy. I typed about 40 words at the first time. It is obscure. But I type 100 words now. It is big progress. I was not good at typing, so it was anguish for me. I was so slow. But I became better now.

Book review 2-25'Tales from the Arabian Night'
I read ‘Tales from the Arabian Night’. It is long story and difficult. A cruel king marries beautiful young women, but always has their heads cut off in the morning. However, his new wife, Sheherezade, is clever. Every night, she starts to tell him a wonderful story.
Every morning, the king lets his new wife live, because he wants to hear the end of story. Now you can read some of Sheherezade’s wonderful stories-and find out what happens to the story-teller herself.
Book review 2-24'TITANIC'
I read ‘TITANIC’. I have seen this movie before. I remember it is sad story. And this was daring story for me. I could read the book this time. There are many real pictures. There are folks, watch, cards, bins, bags and dishes. I could know more titanic information. Why did it hit an iceberg? Why did it sink? It is good book.
Book review 2-23'Bad Love'
I read ‘Bad Love’. It is fascinating title. It is long story. There are seven chapters in the book. It is not colorful book. ‘Jack Daly?’ Judy looked at me. ‘’He’s a very good doctor. He’s famous at the hospital.’’
‘’Oh, famous is he?’’ I said. ‘’I don’t often like famous people.’’ Judy looked into my eyes. ‘’oh, come on, Detective Laine,’’ she said, ‘’you like him! I watched you with him. All the women like him.’’
It is very difficult story for me.
Book review 2-22 'Sara Says No'
This book is very easy for me। And pictures are beautiful. The heroine is Sara. Her father is polite. He is friendly. Everybody likes him and Sara. They are selling the fruit. One day, Sara and her father were fighting. But she notices I’m unhappy and lonely. After that, they make up a quarrel. Children must help their parents. That’s life.

TV in Japan
Introduction
I am watching TV everyday, so I think TV is very important for my life. I watch during making up, eating, free time. It is necessaries. It is resource, but also there are learn things. It is one of information tool. There are newspaper, cell phone and TV. I think TV is the best easy to understand, because we can see pictures and listen to the sound. I will write about some points on TV.
Qualities
Recently, there are some qualities programs. I think some bad words are flying. It influence for many people. Especially, children are apt to influence. But, it can’t help it. Comedians has to joke evoke a laugh, so it is very difficult program.
Programs
There are many programs, because stations exist. I think each stations has own characteristic. For example, NHK in very serious station, so it is faithfulness. On the hand I think it’s good, it is not funny. The biggest program is ‘Kouhaku Utagassen’. NHK broadcasts every New Year’s Eve. I watch this every year at my home. I like it.
Commercial
There are many commercial. I don’t like commercial, so I often change the program at the commercial time. People are highly susceptible to the influence of commercial, so it is important to select the right people. Recently, cosmetic’s commercial makes me attract. it is very beautiful. And I went to go shopping to buy them. I’m a lucid character.
Cable
There is cable TV in my house. It helps us often in summer, because we watch the Major Leagues Baseball game at TV. It is not broadcast a commercial broadcasting station. It broadcasts only cable TV. The cable TV is worldwide. And it is broadcasting foreign drama. We can study foreign language also.
Conclusion
Finally, I know about TV। I usually watch TV casually. But I thought there are some effects.

TV programs
I like watching TV very much. Recently, I interesting in police drama. The name is ‘Joshi Deka’. There are two women in the drama. The heroine is Yukie Nakama. I didn’t like here before I watch this. But I like her now. She is so cool. She is good at shooting in the drama. She has good eyes than other people. The police world is almost men, so women are not strong. But, the two women are very strong. I don’t interest in police. But I think police is cool job and I want to become police, maybe only now. It is easy for me change my mind.

Community life
It is very difficult topic… This is my apartment house. It built Kokubu in Kumamoto city.We have a lot of connection between community and our. I live in an apartment house, so I have some rules, customs, and connections and so on. I meet many people in a day. I have a lot of neighboring people. It is very difficult for me to live in a community life.
First, I think that exchange greeting is very important. We pass people on the front of the house. I live in the first floor, so I have to greet people on the here. If I don’t greet people, it is felling bad. I say just the opposite.
Second, there are two caretakers in my apartment house. He manages our apartment house everyday. He cleans the parking, street, entrance room and so on. Our parking lot for bicycles is terrible. There are a lot of bicycles in here, so we can’t park my bicycle at night. But it become clean on the morning, because the caretakers clean everyday. It is wonderful. I appreciate for them.
Finally, there are some rules. We can’t hang out the futon on the wall except first floor. The dogs can’t walk in the apartment house. We can’t noisily. We attend the board of directors regularly. We can’t hit the futon, because it is noisy and flutter the dust. There are more rules. We live in the rules.
I have been living here for 11 years। My community life is all here. I like my apartment house. I think it is important to help each other. And we must obey the rule. The most important thing is a good relationship with neighbors. Then, we can lead a full life. I return my house everyday, so it must comfortable place. It needs effort to each people. Each people make community life.

Toy Story 1
2007/11/11
John A Lasseter (Director)
Edwin Catmull (Producer)
It was my first time that I saw the ‘Toy Story 1’. I was not interested in CG movie. But it is good CG movie. I knew only the name, the reputation and using the toy. The movie which has been widely discusses lately.
This is very good. I think the present technique is high. CG tends to looks cheap movie. This is biggest fault, but it is contrary to popular that. It uses the effect. The toy became main character. This is a catharsis to make my feel better. My complaint against the CG was run out.
Then, toy has mind and move. It is translate dreams into a reality. It is likely story, but it is first movie. It is nice idea!
And, I think the inset song is so good. I think the songs matches well with the world view and a gloomy mood. It is simple content, but it is not fall into a convention. It is new Disney movie.
I felt regret for didn’t watch this in cheater. I had to go to movie cheater. If I watched in the movie cheater, I was fun more.
The character’s voice is a Toshiaki Karasawa and Jyoji Tokoro. I like both men. Especially, I like a Toshiaki Karasawa. I have watched his drama. It is all nice. I think he is versatile man. He does a brilliant performance and has a unique personality. He can do movie actor too. It was surprise for me.
Finally, I had some ideas। I am a human। I am satisfied with my life. But I think toy world has other fun. If I can go other world, I want to go to toy world. And, I want to see human in a different light. I have some toys. They have mind? I have to careful life. It was good movie.
