The evaluation of other people

      I was glad to see the comment because the majority of them said my presentation was good. However, I recieved some comments about the improvement of my presentation. I should have put more pictures on my presentation, especialy, of my family and hometown. In addition, I shouldn't have inserted the picture of snake because it caused people to feel unplesant.

South Africa

     I played a role as a man from South Africa in the class. I learned a lot about South Africa. According to a geographical site, the capital of it consists of three cities. It was so amazing because I didn't know such a country. And, I studied the meaning of the flag. Red stands for blood, blue for the ocean, green for the nature, yellow for the gold which is yielded in South Africa, black and white for the wish to be a good friendship between black and white.

BR:12 Sly fox and red hen

     I like it because it is so interesting. I like humorous story. There is a significant difference between Japanese humor and the western one. We, Japanese people, laugh at a Manzai that consists of Boke and Tsukkomi. On the other hand, there isn’t a comedy pattern like this in Europe and America. The difference is attributed to their cultural background.

BR:11 Apollo's gold

         I like it because this makes me so excited. This is about the adventure in quest of the treasure. It contains the battle between the hero and villain. I like the scene of fighting, so I love the series of Jacky Chain. The most favorite movie is the drunken boxing. In the movie, Jacky got drunk. Under the condition, he fights with villains. He is so cool. I want be a strong man like him.

BR:10 Different worlds

          I like it because I was impressed by it. This is a love story. The hero and the heroine fall in love with each other, but the heroine is a disabled people. She can't hear and....
I might not fall in love with disabled people. It's challeging for me.
I have an important person now. I will love her forever.

BR:09 Dead Cold

        I like it because I love suspense novels. This is about a murder in the mountains. The plot is good, but the trick is not good. If you read it, you will tell why I said the trick is not good. However, all in all, I enjoyed rading it.
By the way, have you read the detective Konan? It is a comic which is popular amoung young people. Konan looks a boy, but he is really a high school student. He can solve the various kinds of challenging problem. Read it!

BR:08 Superbird

         I like it because I love science fiction movies. The most attractive movie in the category of them is Men in Black. The movie is about aliens living in the earth from another planet. They are living in the earth all over the world, but they often commit a crime. To observe the rule, the members of a certain agency which governs the aliens sometimes fight with them and maintain the peace of the earth. This movie is not just a science fiction movie. It contains the sense of humor. Therefore, we can enjoy watching it.
