Essay 6: Review of the first episode of an American TV drama

I'm going to talk about the first episode of an American TV drama, "Full House". I think the TV drama is very famous in Japan. "Full House" is a comedy TV drama. The story is a father who has lost his wife raises his three daughters with his friend and brother in law.

First, I introduce the main characters. The father's name is Danny Tanner. He works as a caster in television. His wife is killed in traffic accident. Brother in law is Jesse Katsopolis, and he is a rock musician. Joey Gladstone who works as a comedian is Danny's best friend. They help raise Danny's three daughters. They are called D.J., Stephanie, and Michelle. They are young. D.J. is 10 years old, Stephanie is 5 years old, and Michelle is only 9 months.

Second, I talk about the first episode. The first story is very interesting. During Danny is working, Jesse and Joey take care of the children. D.J. moves to garage with her discontent because her sister, Stephanie moves to her room. Jesse will use Stephanie's room. She isn't convinced with that. Jesse and Danny try to put back in a good mood by using some plan, but she is stubborn. Finally, she is back to the house thanks to her father. Danny's love moves her emotion. Also, I like a scene which Jesse and Joey change the Michelle's diaper. They have never changed the baby's diaper, so they were in trouble. Also, they didn't know where diaper is. They used paper towels instead of a diaper!! It was very surprised for me to use paper towel. It was very funny. D.J. and Stephanie know where diaper is, but they didn't tell them. Stephanie said, "Nobody asked me." I thought she has a glib tongue.

I like "Full House", the drama is funny but lovely. I want to watch it again.

Essay 2: My life as a journy

My name is Haruka and I’m 21 years old. I would like to tell you about my life’s journey so you can get an idea of who I am.

My journey began in February 1995 in Kumamoto because my parents live in Kumamoto. When I started my journey, my mother was only 19 years old. My life took a turn to Tokyo soon, the capital of Japan. I don’t know why my life didn’t begin in Tokyo. However, the Tokyo part of my journey was too short, only 1 year because my mother wanted to go back to her hometown. So my life took a turn to Kumamoto again.

It was in 2000 that my cousins, Tatsuya and Shota, joined me in my journey. I didn’t have any brothers and sisters then, so I took care of them like real brothers. Tatsuya lived with my family for 3 years.

In 2005, a new member joined me in my journey. His name is Junta, my younger brother. He is ten years younger than me. He was lovely. He likes math and science, but I don’t like Math and Science. I like Japanese and English. He also likes English. He is active, so he can talk with foreigners using gesture. However, I can’t do that. He and I have some differences of characters.

When I was an elementary student, I was interested in stones. I think I was strange. I collected stones, so my pockets were full when I got home. I don’t remember why I collected stones, but I wonder if I liked shapes. Also, I was strange because I couldn’t ride a bicycle. I had never ridden a bicycle while I was an elementary student. I started to ride a bicycle when I was a junior high school student. I practiced a little and I could.

In 2009, I was a high school student. I didn’t like to study or go to school. I went there for 3 years and I became a KGU student. I hope my journey will be fine.

Essay 1: Advice to my Kouhai

I want to tell my Kouhai something. I think if you want to pass this writing class, you should try to write on your blog every day. I didn't do that and couldn't get a credit. You should do assignments as soon as possible. Don't forget the deadlines and feel relaxed until you finish the assignment. If you have enough time to do it, although you think it's easy or do it later, you should start writing at that time. I couldn't do that, so I failed this class.

If you don't have any time to write, you should get up earlier or write more words before. Most of you have part time jobs and are busy every day, I think. I am too. I know you are so busy, you don't want to write and you don't have time, but we are all in the same boat!! We don't have time, but everyone needs to find time and do the assignment. Don't leave assignments for later. I recommend to get up early because you can finish it early and you don't have to think about it at that day. I have put my homework off until later. It wasn't good.

Also, I have things that I recommend you. Do you know blogger's application for iPhone and smartphone? Have you used it? It's very useful and helpful. You can write essays when you go to school by bus and train. I sometimes use it. When I go to the school by train, I write by using the application and I think about next topics. You can use time effectively.

If you have a lot of time, I recommend you to do the assignment at the same time each day. I think it's a good idea, if you aren’t busy and you are a good manager of time. Anyway, it's important to post to your blog and do the assignment before the deadline.

On the other hand, people who have iPhone come to be able to operate most of in the one-button of middle because the iPhone assumes is simple, making it a concept like iPad or iPod. This is a design that is consistent from the initial series of iPhone, it will probably not be troubled with even change models as appeared a new models.

 On the other hand, there are some merit and demerit of iphone. 

At first, one of the merits of iphone is cheeper than android. There are many types of android such as Xperia, AQUOS phone, Galaxy and so on. However, if you compare these android with iphone, you will find that iphone is cheeper than almost android. Also, iphone’s size is compact. A lot of android is getting bigger and bigger. Although iphone’s size is getting bigger a little too, iphone’s size is smaller than android now. In addition, each types of iphone are same design of the screen. If you buy new android which is different maker you had, you will struggle to get used to new one. However, because each types of iphone are same style, if you change new iphone, you will master new one soon. Therefore, iphone is easy to use. Also, there are many types of cover and case for iphone. You can enjoy various variations.

 One of the demerit of iphone is you can’t custom a lot. Although it is a good point that each types of iphone are same style, on the contrary, there are a lot of limitations. For example, iphone doesn’t have a function of widget. Also, iphone doesn’t have many functions such as infrared rays, waterproofing, Osaifu-Keitai and one seg. These functions are developed in Japan, so iphone doesn’t have these convenient functions. In addition, if you have some trouble about iphone, you have to go iphone shop. However, there is only one iphone shop in Kumamoto. It is very inconvenient.


In consequence, the difference between smart phones and iPhones is smart phone can have unique models in various models and customization by mounting the OS high degree of freedom as Android, high degree of perfection by Apple consistent concept of the iPhone. Both the iPhone and Android latest terminal is attractive. It is simple and is easy to use iPhone and suits all tastes at a balanced terminal. In contrast, Android has unique attractive, that is, the situation that plural companies compete and make an attractive product is desirable for consumers.

New Year Lunch

I went to Amamiya to eat lunch with my brother. We usually eat just dessert, but this time, We ate lunch and dessert.

We ordered curry and rice with vegetables in season. We ate them for the first time. I like vegetables very much, so I thought it must be great. This was not rice, but the 5 different cereals including rice. I like it very much. Vegetables were fried. There were pumpkin, eggplant, potato, and so on. There were many vegetables in it. The thing that I was surprised the most was radish! Radish was in this curry. I saw radish in the curry for the first time. At first, I wondered it was good, but I tried it. I didn't know curry and radish are good combination. I think it was interesting. If I cook curry, I will try it. 

We also ordered parfait. It looks gorgeous. We like parfait. Specially, I like shiratama dango and warabi mochi. These are good texture. We always eat together, but I want to eat parfait someday. It was very good. We enjoyed the lunch time. I will go there with my brother or friends again. I recommend this cafe "Amamiya". Please go there and eat lunch or dessert. I think you will be happy.
