BR 2-04: MAKING HEADLINES

I read "MAKING HEADLINES" which is illustrated book. This book has a small CD, and there are 4 chapters in the book.

In an afternoon, Magee who is student lost interest in lecture in his classroom. His teacher was looked at him, and she gave him an assignment. It was making a newspaper for the next month. He hate it, because he is pretty bad for everything and he hardly read newspaper. In addition, it meant working with Tilly Turner. She is good at everything and she hate him. Finally he unwillingly decided to do it.

Next day, he met Tilly, and they were starting to think about article on the way to the school. Just then, Magee saw a student sneaking the side of the building. He had something covered with his coat and he was running away. It was obviously strange. They wanted to use it for headline.

Nagee was using a computer to make the newspaper. Suddenly, Tilly entered the room. She said she looked the student again. They went outside and they saw him walking toward the back fence. He had his school jacket, but it looked strange and heavy. They were hiding and watched him. He pushed his jacket into the hedge and went back to the school. After that, they looked his jacket. There were two notebook computers covered with his jacket. They were from the school office.

It was dark when the student came back to pick up the computers. Magee and Tilly took a picture of him. He looked surprised. Then two policeman took and let him away. The next day the teacher was holding the newspaper. Magee thought it was written about the student was took yesterday, but...

After I read it, I thought the newspaper was written about it too, but it was written another article. I was surprised about it. It was short, but flesh story.

My favorite misic

I like music very much. I'm listening to music while driving a car and getting on a train. My favorite music is J-POP. Especially, I like B'z and Fukuyama Masaharu. B'z is constituted Koshi Inaba and Takahiro Matsumoto. They act from 1989 to present. Their music is almost famous. I used to listen their music on the train, but I hardly listen it now. I often listen Fukuyama masaharu's music. His music is famous too. And it is often broadcasted on TV, for example, CM, drama theme song and music TV program. I often sing the song when I go to Karaoke. I'm not good at sing, but his song is easy to sing. His best album will be released soon, so I'm looking forward to listen the music.

Essay 2-02a: My language learning experience

I'm going to tell you about my language learning experiences.　I learned three languages, Japanese, English and Germany. I have learned Japanese since I was elementary school student. I have learned English since I was junior high school student. And I had learned Germany when I entered this university. Especially, my parent kept telling me Japanese when I was baby, so I have been learning Japanese for twenty years.

I liked to study Japanese before. I remember I often studied Hiragana and Katakana when I was kindergartner. It was hard to remember, but I enjoyed studying. I studied easier Kanji when I was elementary school. I learned a lot of things, for example how to read and how to write. I wrote it many times. In high school, I must study difficult Kanji. It was complicated and hard to read and write. I didn't like Kanji since that time.

I must study Kobun and Kanbun in high school. Kobun is old Japanese sentence and it is difficult to read. Because it is completely different from modern style. It was hard for me to remember grammar and words. Kanbun is Chinese style sentence. It is necessary to remember grammar. It was easier than Kobun for me.

English is my favorite language. So I entered this university. I first studied English at junior high school. It was first foreign language, so I was very looking forward to study English. I regularly went to supplementary private school when I was junior high school. I could study English with my friends. It was fun for me. I often studied English at that time. I didn't study at high school, but I was hard to study English. English is difficult, but I think learning second language is very good for me.

I first studied Germany in this university. I had to choose Germany or French or Spanish, or Russian. It seemed that Germany was easiest language of the three, so I chose it. I thought Germany was not so difficult. Germany resembles English, but it has definite article. It was hard for me to remember and how to use it. Germany classes were first period on Monday and fifth period on Tuesday, so I was tired after the class. The teacher was glad and good at teach.

I learned three languages ever. I think it was good for me to learn language. I cannot write too much and speak fluently, but it is good experience. I hope learning languages are useful for me.
