Learning with computers
・About computers
I think computer is very important for my life. I think I couldn't do without computers. Computer has many functions. For example, computer has Internet, Word, Excel, and so on. The computer is used all over the world now. And, computers these days are so user-friendly. They are really simple to use.
Body
・Before
I have a computer, so I was able to do the work of the easy computer. However, I was able to use only the basic function of the computer. I always write sentence with a Word of computers. And, I sometimes listened to music with computers. With a computer, I thought that it was very difficult to write blog till I took this class.
・After
I studied most by this class. With a computer, I wrote blog and, to see a movie, was able to take the communication with people in the world. I think that I got possible to use the computer from the before. I want to manage more computers.
・During Writing III & IV
By this class, I wrote a lot of blog and essay. I like writing blog. If a friend and an overseas person comment on the blog which I wrote, I am very glad. I came to take a lot of photographs to write my blog. Then I came to like taking a photograph. In addition, I did the devices such as the pasting up of the link everybody was easy to watch blog, and to do it.
・Typing
I always do typing speed trial. Typing speed trial is very difficult for me. I have to write over 100 & 150 at five minutes. First, I don't like typing speed trial, because I can't write a lot of sentence. I think I need practice, so I practice on typing speed trial. And, I gradually got possible to write a lot of sentence. Then I was used to it from first time. Though it was difficult, this thought that it was very important to write a sentence in English.
・Vocabulary
I think vocabulary is very important. I thought that a vocabulary needed that I wrote a sentence in English. I have not a large vocabulary, so I wrote blog and an essay and, at time, had a hard time very much. When I did not understand it, I examined it in a dictionary. I think that vocabularies increased from the first time. And, I think that I can write more sentences if I increase vocabularies, so I want to increase vocabulary more.
・Reviewing
I had to do book review once a week. Book review is put a photograph of a book and write a thing about the book. I like book review. I have not read a book written in English till now. I read a lot of books. It was studied the English, and it was useful very much to read an English book. I want to read a lot of book written in English.
・Language Learning
Computer has a lot of language. For example, computer has Japanese, English, Chinese, Korean, Russian, Arabic, and so on. I think language is very important for communication. I think that it is very important that I learn the language of other countries. However, it is very difficult.
・G-mail
I always check g-mail. I can contact my teachers and my friends with g-mail. In addition, I can contact the people in the world. I went to England in this summer vacation. I sometimes exchange emails with the people who stayed with the same family.
・Internet
I always check Internet, too. Internet has a lot of information. If I didn't watch TV program or newspaper, I can get information on the Internet. I think Internet is very useful for everyone life. But, Internet has some problem. For example, the crimes that they used the Internet for increase recently. The Internet is very convenient. However, I think that the crimes that I used the Internet for want you to disappear.
・Blog
I keep a blog in English. I like writing a blog. My blog’s name is “mami’s diary”. I like blog making, because I like write and take a picture. I think my blog is very interesting. I have to find a way to interesting my blog. I want to come my blog for everyone. And, I want to make a lot of friends. You must come and see my blog anytime you like.
Conclusion
・Future of computers
I think that the computers evolve more from now on. A computer may get a new function. I want to manage a computer than now.

5th Essays: TV
First, I introduce about Japanese broadcasting.
NHK is the Japanese only public broadcasting business campany. In 1925, it started as corporate judicial person Tokyo broadcasting station. And it started the Japanese first radio broadcast. NHK is obliged to be able to receive it in the whole country for public welfare.
Commercials undertaking for profit is forbidden, so NHK hasn't commercial message.
Fuji TV is a commercial television broadcasting station established Bunka broadcasting and Nippon broadcast in 1957. Fuji TV is collects popularity by a variety program. In 1997, this TV station built the new company building in Daiba, Minato-ku, Tokyo.
TBS is an abbreviated of Tokyo broadcasting. This TV station is one of the commercial broadcasting on typify of Japan, too. It is open with both television and radios, and it is said that the industry is the strongest in the network. In 1955, it started television transmission. It was renamed to a current company name in 1960.
TV Asahi started as Japanese educational television in 1957, and opened it in February, 1959. This broadcasting develop cooperation relations with the Asahi newspaper by the program pro-news such as news stations.
NihonTV station foundation it in 1952, and started the commercial broadcasting first television transmission in August, 1953. This TV station the Yomiuri newspaper and connection are deep. From 1995, it was the top of the television viewership consecutively for nine years. This TV stations offer an original program on the Internet and wrestle with audience expansion positively.
Next, I write about Japanese viewing time of the television. According to the statistic announced in France Cannes in 2005, it was average 5 hours 1 minute with a Japanese in a TV viewing time in first that they had a long time to watch television most in the world. The second country is 4 hours 46 minutes in U.S.A. There is less the world average than U.S.A. for 90 minutes. The last country was China and Swedish 2 hours 30 minutes. According to "the national time budget survey" that NHK. On Sunday for 5 hours in a Japanese TV viewing time more than 70's watch television to men and women more than 5 hours by the weekday. On the other had, they was less than 80% only after they compared it with before 5 years, and there was the radio that only the 20's man watched television to the person not to "watch it at all" 20%.
I think the television to have to be it in everyday life. I think that I will want to do work about television and mass communication in the future, so I want to know about TV more.

4th Essays "Community Life"
I was born in Kikuchi of Kumamoto. I think that Kikuchi-shi is a very livable town. Because, there is strong combine, and the people living in there are easy to get close very much. It is the town which Kikuchi-shi, Shichijyoumachi, Kyokushimura, Shisuimachi merge Kikuchi-shi on March 22, 2005, and was made. Kikuchi-shi is "a town of rural district culture full of rich water and green, light". There, there is a lot of nature coloring the four seasons such as a cherry tree, a cosmos, a firefly in each place other than Kikuchi ravine and Kikuchi hot spring.
In addition, there are many institutions in a tourist attraction, leisure showing the history and the tradition of Kikuchi clan and gathers many tourists from within the prefecture and the outside the prefecture.
Kikuchi-shi wrestles with various activities now. There is a thing called the "Mangetou" in the one of the actions. Set tens of thousands of candles which put up in a colored paper cup inward beside the "Nangetou" to a lot of citizen open spaces by the hand of the volunteer. It is a festival of fantastic fire to describe a painting above the ground in a light. From 2005, residents' association and a children's association, the business establishment participate, and the scene which enjoys the light of the candle in the center city area is seen, and activity opens.
In addition, Kikuchi-shi does the enforcement of the Kikuchi Ice campaign. It is the West Japan's greatest Dairy Belt, and Kikuchi-shi is the area where various farm products are produced including fruit. There is "ice of feelings" there much and carries out the campaign that I made use of them in and wrestles for charm creation of new Kikuchi-shi.
I think that Kikuchi-shi should be activated more from now on. And I want the town which is more livable than now to become it.
