Blog Mistake

I called my teacher, and he told me that your blog was lowest score in IE class. When I heard the news, I was shocked. Because I had already done everything I could do. I thought it was something mistake. In fact, He checked my another blog. I took a breath, but my score of the blog is not clear yet. It is highly likely to get less score than the blog that he checked first time!

Climax resolution. Many situation are happend in the novel, but it express final resolution. In the fairly tale, if you get married with a lady, it is happy ending. However, the real life is different. It is not ending, in real life it is starting. It is not happy event, but terrible event! Anyway there is resolution or happy ending in any novels.

Question: Summarize the main ideas stated in the lecture you just listened to, explaining how those ideas differ from the reading passage.

Answer: The lecture said that Formicidae is 150,000 species in the world. The living systems are divided into two groups. The first system is intergrated system. This system is used by ants and so on. Ants cooperate with other ants to progress the same goal. Young ants and old ants coexist in the nest. The roles that young ants do are different from old ants. However, they cooperate for the sake of the nest. Their life is more secure than solitary species, because they can depend on each other.
The second system is solitary system. The system is used by bees and so on. After a mother born her child, the mother died. As a result, the child needs to live in the earth as a solitary insect. The young insects build his nest by himself, and grow the egg, too. Their life is less secure than intergrated species, because they have to do anything by themselves.

The professor said that students should specialize their major. The reason why he said so is that to learn many different subjects is wasting time and have a bad effect on major subjects.
The writer said that students require to take classes in many different subjects, because taking a wide variety of subjects provides for a better education.
The opinion is seemed to be right, but for example, engineering students may not need literary subjects. Literary students also may not need engineering subjects. That means that students have to study the subjects which students do not need to study. The opinion that students should take the wide variety of subjects leads to wasting time.
To learn wide different subjects has the possibility of destruction of the major subject for students. It takes too much time for students, if they take many courses. As a result, students need to spend less time to study their major subjects. Generally, the major subject is the most important, so students should spend much time for it.
In this way, although there is a merit point by taking a wide variety of subject, spending much time for major subject is better than that.

Technology made our societies worse place to live. While there were some usefulness of technology, it was also true that technology had bad effects.
One bad effect is that technology destroyed human’s relationship. People used to use spend more time with friends and family, but people use less time with them to learn or use technology. The author of writing reading passage says that technology is what makes us live like civilized beings. However the professor doubts on the opinion, because people came to create no useful item, and pollution of the sky, sea and air to become civilized beings. People lose the important thing which people used to have because of technology.
In fact, technology made our life convenient. However it is not equal to happiness. To regain our precious things we should use more time with humans, especially friends and family. We should spend less time to non-human beings.

Question: If you could meet a famous entertainer or athlete, with whom would you meet. Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.

Answer: I want to meet with Ichiro, if I could choose in an entertainer or athlete. There are two reasons why I choose Ichiro. First, his baseball sense is amazing. He is active in not only Japan baseball league but also American baseball league. The difference between Japan and American league is not small. However, he adopted to two leagues, and he left a great record. I had an experience that I played baseball when I was an elementary school student. I want to mention in the experience that to hit the ball was very difficult, but it seems to be very easy for Ichiro to hit the ball. I think he is the best batter in Japanese batter.
Second, his attitude as a Japanese is respectful. A few years before, WBC was held. Ichiro played as a member of Japan team. He did the best for the sake of Japan baseball pride. He was active in WBC games and he contributed to becoming the top of teams. taking championship for the Japan team. He proved that Japan baseball was the best. He emphasized emphasized the pride of Japanese. I think no one in Japanese can not do his acting. He has a great influence to Japanese people, especially to young people. He is their eternal goal as a baseball player, and he gives them dream for ever.
In this way, I hope to meet with Ichiro. When I talk with him, I will feel his aura and I can take a good influence from him. That is important for me to live in the world.

The great football player, Thierry Henry

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　Written by Tomohide Warabi
It is said that football is one of the most popular sports around the world. Not only people in developed countries but also in developing countries play football. The rules of football are very simple. One is that you cannot use your hands, and two is that you kick the ball in the goal. That’s enough. Lastly you need only a ball to play soccer. That is why soccer is known well. There were some great football players in the past for example Maradona, Pele, Jico and so on. I will introduce one of the most favorite football players of mine. He is Thierry Henry and he is French. He is an amazing goal hunter in the football field and he contributes to social issue in outside football. We can learn a lot of things from him.
He belonged to four clubs in his football life - AS Monaco, Juventus, Arsenal, Barcelona. He became a famous football player and he attracted me when he was in Arsenal. The best season he belonged to Arsenal was 2003 – 04 season, because Arsenal accomplished to win the league title. Moreover, Arsenal never lost in that season. Arsenal was the strongest team in the league at that time. Thierry Henry got thirty nine goals in total in the season, and he won the European Golden Boot. In the 2005 – 06 season, he finally became a legend. On 17th October 2005 Henry became the club’s top goal scorer from the beginning of Arsenal history. He broke the record of Ian Wright who scored 185 goals. He finished the season as the league’s top scorer. As a result, he was voted as the Football writer’s Association Footballer of the Year.
His successful career is not much mentioned yet. He also succeeded in the International games. His international career started in June 1997. He got many goals in international team like Arsenl club. Do you know World Cup? World cup is the biggest championship in the world. Many people look forward to watching it and they think which country will be a top in the championship. To be the team members of the World Cup title is a great honor for football players. Do you think Thierry Henry became the member? The answer is Yes. The World Cup was held in 1998 in France. Henry and the members of French national team beat Brazil in the final. Recently the World Cup was held in German in 2006. France beat Brazil again in semifinal. The score was 1 – 0. Henry got the only one goal of the game. France lost to Italy on penalties in the final but his remarkable work remained. We can say that Henry is the person of the great humility. Henry would be the top scorer in 2006 World Cup, if he tried all penalty kicks. However, he gave all chances to the captain of France whose name is Zidane. The captain said that he would retire the career of the football player when the World Cup was over. Henry understood that the motivation of France team members would increase if Zidane got goals in the game. Henry hoped to do the team play not the egoistic play.
His personality is also shown in other ways. He contributes to social issue in outside football. He is concerned about the poverty of the world and is the member of the UNICEF – FIFA squad. He plays football for the sake of poor children, and he gets down to the discrimination to black people. He was insulted by a Spanish coach. The coach called Henry “black shit”. Of course, the coach was punished but the incident showed that racism exists at that time. Henry and Nike, which is the corporation of sports started the Stand up and Speak up campaign. It is hard to tackle tough problems such as discrimination but he decided not to run away from it. His choice should be respectful.
In this way he is not only a great football player but also respectful person. He is loved by a lot of people including me. I am sure that a person who read this article will become his fan. I hope that he continues his great work and shows us the example as a man.

Japan

written by Tomohide Warabi


Japan is thought as one race. According history, however, it is clear that the opinion is wrong. Japan has been influenced by other countries. From ancient era, Japan had studied from China. Nowadays Japan study from America, so we tend to spotlight foreign countries. Of course foreign counties called big countries affect Japan, but I want to note the influence of Japan own.
I think Japan can divide into three sections because of Japanese history. Needless to say, Japan was not one nation at first. From the fifth century to the sixth, the kings of Japan called Yamato emperors governed the land of Japan, but these emperors could not influence on the northern part of Honshu, Hokkaido and Okinawa. In Heian era, the kings of Japan called Tennou governed the northern part of Honshu, but Hokkaido and Okinawa finally became the parts of Japan in Meiji era. In other words, Hokkaido and Okinawa are different nations until Meiji era, so I try to divide into Japan between Hokkaido, Okinawa and the rest of Japan parts.
There were Ainu people in Hokkaido. These people hunted animals and fish. They did not cultivate the land of Hokkaido. They did not develop agriculture and stock farming. The land was not apt to cultivate because of cool weather, but was abundant in animals and fish. They lived happily in the rich land. However, The life was broken by people in Honsyuu in Edo era. People in Honsyuu got frequently to come to Hokkaido in order to take the rare animal and fish to be used in trade to the foreign countries. In Meiji era, Hokkaido became the part of Japan nation officially, and the government of Japan enacted Kyuudojinhogohou whose law resulted in wiping out Ainu people.
Okinawa was in strange position in Edo and Meiji era. Okinawa nation served not only Japan but also China at that time. Okinawa flourished by trading. The country mediated between foreign countries about trading, and made profits because Okinawa was not abundant in the nature resources. Okinawa became the part of Japan officially when the Sino-Japanese war in 1894 to 95 was over. Japan won the war, as a result Japanese government put together Okinawa as a part of Japan. people in Okinawa are merry, maybe because of the hot weather, so there are many TV personalities who come from Okinawa such as Amuro Namie.
The land of Japan except Okinawa and Hokkaido is united in Heian era. The emperor of Japan who was Kanmu-Tennou at that time dispatch the general who was Sakanoue Tamuramaro to the northern part of Honsyuu. The general won the war against the northern people called Emishi. He succeeded to conquer the land, and the emperor of Japan could govern there, and it meant the emperor of Japan had influenced all over Japan country except Hokkaido and Okinawa. The climate in Honsyuu is various, and there are many kinds of animals and fish. The power balance between the East and the West changed at Edo era. The west had had strong power from Yamato emperor to the general who was Toyotomi Hideyoshi. However, the East replace the position after civil war between the east and the west called Sekigahara no Tatakai. Tokugawa Ieyasu is the general of the east, and led to winning the battle. He established Edo Bakuhu which was in the east not the west. The effect of the civil war remained in present time, because Tokyo which was the hometown of Ieyasu antagonizes against Osaka which was the hometown of Toyotomi. The battle is well shown when Tigers versus Giants game is held.
In this way, Japan seemed to be one nation and the same trait, but the aspect is not correct. Japan has various people and characteristic. Today, the idea of globalism is spreading all over the world, and we are likely to concern about foreign countries. However, we should not disregard own country. We need to learn about own country because the relation between Japan and other countries is important more than ever by contraries.

Should more immigrant be allowed to live in Japan?

Written by Tomohide

The decreasing of a country population is a critical problem now. Many developed countries including Japan face on the problem. If population is dropped, some bad effects will arise, for instance less power of GDP level which is now high ranking for Japan. To solve this important problem, Japan should allow more immigrants to live in Japan.
Some people say that they are worried about the increase of criminal rate if foreigners are allowed to live in Japan. In fact, some foreigners committed crimes in Japan. These days, there was a news that the robbers who came from China entered the house illegally, and stole much money. They cooperated with some Japanese, and they aimed at elderly house. Some immigrants who are low- paid –workers may commit a crime when they need money to live.
However, in the different aspect, to accept immigrants is beneficial for Japan. Immigrants who work at Japan companies possibly have the remarkable talents that Japanese do not have. The ability would help the development of Japan. The worldwide network is tightly connected in each country now, so each country has the responsibility for making the economic right order. If not, countries in the world take a bad effect like sub-prime problem. Each country needs to have worldwide view and cooperate with each other. This view is gained by some immigrants who know foreign countries deeply.
There is another benefit for allowing the immigrants to live in Japan. Japan is island, so Japan tends to exclude people who different from Japanese. However, by introduction of the Inter Net, people in the world are closed. Of course, Japan is not exception for that. Japan should be interested in foreigners and foreign countries to understand them. To have a good relation with many countries is useful for Japan to the future. Japan should change the diplomatic policy that Japan only relied on America.
The fact that immigrants are not many in Japan is not change. Most of Japanese are not used to be related with foreigners, so some Japanese may have prejudice for foreigners who came from developing countries. If immigrants are discriminated, they will complain about the discrimination, and someday they may become mobs against Japan society. Developed countries such as England and France etc, have the problem about immigrants. Japan also may have the similar problem, if Japan accepts more immigrants.
Nowadays, the world was small by the Inter Net. People in the world need to cooperate to solve the big problem, like global warming. Even we need to understand different cultures and races. To allow immigrants is the first step for it. Japanese no longer island people. Japanese have to pay more attention to foreign countries and people.

Giants and Tigers

Written by Tomohide Warabi

The histories of Giants and Tigers are very deep. In 1934, Giants started the history as a baseball team called Dai Nippon Tokyo Yakyu Kurabu. The team was the third historical team in Japan. In 1936, the team changed the team name as Tokyo Kyojin Gun, because of the too long name. This process was the beginning of Giants. One year after Giants started the history, Tigers also stared the history as Osaka Tigers in 1935. Tigers was fourth historical team in Japan. In 1936, Giants, Tigers and some baseball teams formed Japan Job Baseball Association. This was the beginning of Japan Professional baseball league, so Giants and Tigers were related to establishing of Professional base ball league from the beginning. It seemed to be good start of Giants and Tigers. From 1936 to 1946, either Giants or Tigers won the first prize in Japan league. Tigers won the first prize three times and Giants did the first prize eight times during those seasons. We call the game of Giants and Tigers the battle of the tradition. However, two team balances was collapsed because of the weakness of Tigers. Giants beat Tigers 962 times and Tigers beat Giants 692 times and draw is 57 times. According to the result of the game, the team power was one-sided to Giants. Giants attained to amazing result during 1965 to 1973. Giants won the first prize each year during that time. It is called V9. Giants succeeded to win the first prize for a series of nine years and often won the first prize after V9. In contrast Tigers were very weak. While Giants accomplished V9, Tigers never won the first prize, and during 1986 to 2002 Tigers never won the first prize. Moreover, during the seventeen seasons, Tigers finished each season in the most bottom position eleven times.
There are some legend players in both teams. They became legend when they were registered as an eternal unused uniform number player. Giants has six players becoming the legend players, such as O, Nagashima, Kawakami and so on. Tigers has three legend players who is Hujimura, Murayama, Yoshida. About twenty years ago there were some good players in Tigers, such as Enatsu and Kakehu. Giants also had the great players, such as Egawa. Both teams have been very famous, so they have been rival relations. Some rival players were existed between both teams, for example, Murayama who was Mr. Tigers versus Nagashima who was Mr. Giants, Enatu who was the king of strikeout versus O who was the king of homerun and Kakehu who was the member of Tigers as a role of fourth batter versus Egawa who was the ace of Giants. Recently, Matsui who was in Giants is famous, and Fujikawa who is in Tigers is popular. Matsui belongs in New York Yankees and he gets regular position now. Fujikawa has the amazing fastball which a good batter can not hit in spite of knowing to come fastball not changing ball. The battle between Tigers and Giants players have made baseball fan enthusiastic.
Giants fans love Giants because of the strength, but Tigers fans are different on the matter. I have already mentioned that Tigers was weak, but real Tigers fan never stop the cheer for Tigers. I believe that the enthusiasm for Tigers is always good. However, it had a bad effect in 1973 Tigers could win the first prize if Tigers won one game out of the two which was the two last game in that season. Tigers lost Doragons in the first game and Tigers hoped to win the next game which was the battle against Giants. Tigers fan believed that Tigers would win the last game. There were forty eight thousands people in the Koushien stadium which is the home ground of Tigers, but Tigers lost to Giants 0-9. As a result, Giants achieve V9. Most of Tigers fan got angry and some enthusiastic fan became mobs. These mobs attacked the bench in Giants and Tigers players, so the first prize winning ceremony of Giants was suspended in the stadium. Tigers members could not get out of the stadium by next day. The accident was the love of reverse to Tigers. The population of Giants was the most V9 time. It was said that the TV program of the game of Giants could get high audience rating in average twenty percent. However, the winning of first prize was decreasing after V9. In 1975, Giants had a bad experience as a bottom team. Giants had never had such an experience by the 1975. Some Giants fans cheered up Giants whose boss was Nagashima in Tamagawa ground. They demonstrated with banner or placard written the hope of Giants fans. Giants lastly finished the schedule in the bottom position in that season. Worse the result of Giants and more decrease the population of Giants at the same time. In 1980, Giants did not have hope of winning the first prize from the beginning of the season. The boss of Giants – Nagashima was retired from the role with being announced by Giants owner - Watanabe. Many Giants fans got angry against the announcement, because Nagashima might be not good at management, but he was very famous and popular. Some Giants fans started the action not to buy the Yomiuri news paper. Recently in 2003 the boss of Giants – Hara was fired suddenly. He was popular but a Giants owner did not like him. Usually the ceremony of resignation of boss had been held, but the ceremony was not held exceptionally at that time. Giants fans felt disappointed from the incident especially against the Giants owner. The supporter and audience rating got worse drastically since the incident happened.
The power balance between Tigers and Giants are changed now. Giants missed the first prize for four years during 2002 to 2006. The incident has never been from the beginning of Giants history. The reason why Giants gets weak is some reasons. One reason is that Giants do not grow the youth members. Giants have huge money to get good players. Giants inclines to get the power players to hold its spotlight, but strangely players who came from another team can not be active in Giant team. In 2002, Matsui who was one of the most important players in Giants transfer to Major League. He belonged in Giants from the youth not transference from another team, and in 2005 Okajima who was unsuccessful pitcher in Giants transferred to Boston Redsocks. He is in active and gets an important position in the team unexpectedly. It seems that Giatns gets players who is not needed and transfers important players. Many batters and pitchers in Giants are slump now. In contrast, Tigers gets strong these days. One reason is relief pitchers. There are three famous pitchers in Tigers. Their names are Jeff Williams, Fujikawa and Kubota. We call their pitchers JFK. Tigers is highly likely to win the game if Tigers have a lead by sixth inning, because JFK appear each one inning. In 2005 season, Tigers won the game which got a lead by sixth inning with possibility of ninety percent. In 2007 season each JFK pitched more than seventy five times. All games are 146 in one season now, so they pitched more than half games in all season. This circumstance have not appeared in baseball history ever before. Their defense rates are very good. Many of the batters in Tigers are also good players. Akahoshi, Imaoka who is Tigers member from their youth are very active recently. In 2001, Tigers got Kanemoto, and in 2007 got Arai from Carp. They also are very active. It seems that fusion between members who had belonged Tigers from the beginning and members who transfered from another team is very successful. This point is the difference between Tigers and Giants these days.
Tigers and Giants have tradition and long history. These teams have an important role of baseball population. Tigers always makes much of the history. It was showed in Tigers song called Rokkou Oroshi. Tigers have never change the song from the beginning of Tigers history. In contrast, Giants have changed the style of the team along with time, so many people do not know the Giants song, because Giants songs sometimes have been changed. I think Giants makes little of own history, so Giants needs to review its sense of value to get strong again, and grow youth power not get famous players from another team. All fan look forward to getting strong both Tigers and Giants, and watching the game between the two more excite.
