Draft essay posts 2-03: How I study language

I learn English for 8 years. Almost I have learned English at school. Grammar, listening, reading and writing. I think that speaking is the most important but I little learned speaking. Of course grammar and other things are important. However if I have to use speaking English, I will upset. Now I major in English but I only use English once a week; speaking class.

I think that to skill up speaking is to go to foreign country and don't use Japanese. When I went to Australia to home stay, there were no Japanese in host family. So I couldn't use Japanese. I understood what they said. I thought that I liked watching foeign movie or foeign drama TV. So I listen to English easily. My host mother said that 'You can hear what we say but you can't say what you want to say in English, can't you?' That's true. I couldn't say in English what I wanted to say. This time I decided that to study listening.

This spring vacation, I went to New York to study dance. Before I went there, I learned travel English. But I couldn't use that any more. Dance words are common language. So I could understand what teacher said and how to dance routine. I had one srogan then. It was 'make some friends'. I wanted to speak any people but I couldn't do that. If anyone spoke to me, I spoke as possible as I could. My speaking understood to foeign people. I was very happy then. Didn't make friends and spoke to people more was reglet things to me.

In America, there are a lot of imigrants. So there are a lot of reglects. Sometimes I didn't understand what language they said. I heard that Spanish is the second language which is spoken by American. There are a lot of imigrants especially in New York. I saw European, Asian and so on. Once, I talked with colonbian. He was good at speak English.

To go to foeign country, especially to be spoken that you want to speak anywhere country's language, is good for learning languages. To hear native language and don't use Japanese are more good.  Next year, I am going to go to study abroad to Australia for 4 months. I chosed the  shool taht there are little Japanese. So I can't use Japanese there. It will make me to skill up my English.

Of course I study English at school every day. But its boring. So I watch DVD or go to the movie thater or watch foreign TVchannnel. It is good tool study speaking and listening. Those channels have the latest word which young people use. I remember some prases. For example 'What's the hell?', 'I don't think so' and so on. I wish I can use those words frequentry.

Essay 2-02a: Group movie reviews

Robin was brave man. Both of movies: Russell Crowe and Kevin Costner  version’s Robin are very cool. 2 of movies are a little different story. But we talk that we wached movie was so fantastic. They have a sturdy body so we thought that all over the world’s women fell in love to them.

In Russel Crowe version, Robin was one of the army of crusaders. But Richard King was killed. When he’s on the way back home he sees Robert Rocsre Loxley assassination spot. And he goes to Nottingham Palace reach the sword heeting Robert wills. He decide where to live as Robert. This time, Little John was friend. But after fight, he betrayed Robin.

In Kevin Costner version, Robin was cathed by Jerusalem at first. But he escaped with Aseem and to go to England where is Robin was born. When they reached England of Robin’s land, there are robbed by Gum. Gum is very bad man.  Not only Gum robbed his land but also he killed Robin’s father. So Robin went to Sherwood Forest to link up with there people. And Robin and Sherwood Forest people fighted with Gum’s army. This version, Robin and Marian’s relationship was childhood friend. And they loved each other. Not only Robin is brave man but also Marian is brave woman.

Favorite scene was kiss scene, fight, meet brother and marry scene. In kiss scene, Kevin Costner version, Robin and Marian have been couple so they met since 10 years, they kissed each other. Russell Crowe version, they didn’t know each other and Marian had husband. But her husband died and Loxly let her to get marry with Robin. First, they don’t love each other, but more and more they know each other, they fell in love. Before they go to fight, they kissed at the first time. Fight scene was very intereting. Robin is a master hand of arrow. Russell Crowe version, when Robin shoot arrow from so far,it hit bad man! It was amaging! Meet brother scene is Kevin Costner version. Sherwood’s one boy don’t like Robin at first. That’s because he was Robin’s step brother. When Robin knew that, he was very happy. His family is only step brother. It was tear scene when they hugged. Russell Crowe version was no marry scene. But in Kevin Costner version has marry scene. It was very impressed scene. In thier ceremony, Richerd King came to thier ceremony.  

Especially Kevin Costner version, there were a lot of forest scene. Robin and Sharwood Forest people fighted with Gum’s follower in Sharwood Forest. As they know Sharwood Forest, they could entrap easily. And this movie’s last fight scene was at cathle. But Russell Crowe version’s last fight scene was at beach. So fight hard though the route between boat and boat.

Both of two version’s last were different. Kevin Costner version, Robin and Gum’s fighting scene was thrilling. And Aseem fighted with witch who is Gum’s mother. Robin killed Gum and also Aseem killed witch. After the fight, Robin and Marian married in Sharwood forest. And then, Rechard came their ceremony and congratulate their marry. Russell Crowe version: whether Robin cooperated Gum, Gum betrayed Robin. So Robin, his friends and Marian escaped from him.

There are a lot of Robin Hood movie. We watched Robin Hood was very good story and it was impressed us. Each Robin Hood story is different. Also character, place, relationship is different. But we think that every Robin Hood serises are good story.

1-03a: Mrs.Doubtfire

I have ever watched this movie. But I haven't watched all. Maybe this story about a man who wants to meet his children was disguise housekeeper.

Main character is dad who's job was voice actor and he acted in cartoon. Moreover, he acted about 3 person's voice. It was 2 charater and a narration. I thought he is good voice actor. That's because he acted 3 or 4 character's voice. He can act a lot of voices. But he was quick this job. So he has no job.

When his wife came to home, her house is very noisy and cop. came to her house. It was their child's birthday party. So DJ was turning and a lot of child's friends are dancing. And there are a lot of animal!! He only wanted his son to be happy. He really loved his children. But of course, his wife was very angry such a situation. And she stoped the party. Furthermore, his wife knew that her husband was quick his job. So she was angry to her husband and they divorced. I think that she thought she wanted to divorce her hasband before they really divorced.

In the court, he claimed that he wants to meet his children at least. Then the judge allowed him to meet children once a week. After the trial, he left house. When he said goodbey to his children, they were about to cry. Also I was about to cry. Then, he was being to live in apartment and he felt so loneliness. His room is very messy and maybe he can't do house works. Once a week that his children come his apartment, he was very happy. But somehow they don't works out. I thought they become a little bad relationship before they lived with. When children try to go home, he shouted 'don't leave!' His children was afraid of thier father.

He went to go hello work to find his job. He only can voice act and he acted several voice front of hello work's stuff. But she don't care about him. And he gave up to find job.

I watched until this scene but I know he disguised a woman Mrs. Doubtfire and became housekeeper. The reason is he wanted to meet his children everyday. I want to watch it one more time.

Foreign countries

I am interested in foreign countries. I like foreign actors gossips, music, dorama, movies and so on.

I've ever been to foreign countries many times. When I was child, I went to Howland and Hawaii. I was too young so that I don't remember to go there.

When I was 12 years old, I went to Korea. And I went to L.A. to practice dance. In the L.A., I had very good experiences. I could speak English a little, I could shopping alone first time then. L.A.'s dance was very difficult for me. Especially, jazz. I went to venis beach and universal studio too. Universal studio was very fantastic! I enjoyed very much.

I have been to New York three times. When I was 5, 14 and 19 years old. Second time and recently, I went there to dance. New York's dance: broad way dance center was very good. I could dance very much. And I speak English well.

I want to go abroad more, and I want to speak English frequently or very good dancer. So I study English harder.

BR 1-04: Sherlock Holmes and the Sport of Kings

'His nose is in front, yes, yes, he's going to do it!'
Conan, D. (2008). Sherlock Holmes and the Sport of Kings. New York: Oxford University Press.


The why I choose this book is I like Sherlock Holmes seres and I like this movie acted by  Robert Downey Jr. and Jude Law. They are very cool in the movie!

This book which I read this time was a little difficult for me to understand. I thought Holmes is very smart. That's because he knew almost things before he searched all. His think was so good. Otherwise, Watson's support was good for Holmes. He is very smart too and he know about medical care. Their bonds are very strong.

This book's story was about missing Silver Blaze: horse and killed John Straker: horse's trainer. At first, I have thought the murder was stranger. But truth was horse. Horse killed John Straker. It was surprising. I was surprised Holme's inference. So Watson was surprised too.

Holmes seres is difficult to understand, but I want to read more. And I want to watch movie again after I read this book.
