Essay: Learning with computer

I have a computer at home, but it is not mine. All of family members use it to play, study and research. Someone use it everyday. Computer is very useful. I use computer at house or school everyday, too.

When I was a junior high school student, I began to use computer on the class. It was the first time for me. When I was a high school student, I learned how to use the computer in earnest. Fist, I learned how to type. It was difficult for me to type with the key board without looking the position of key. So, I learned to type easily. And then, I study how to use "Excel", "PowerPoint", "word" and so on. These are very useful. Especially, I often use "word" for making reports. Besides I knew about Internet. I learned how to research on the Internet.

And now, I use computer everyday to study and research. I often make reports and I study English with computer. We can do the English, game on the Internet and improve my English skill. It is very helpful. I sometimes use the translation system. When I don't know how to translation, I use it. It is very useful and helpful. I'm fun to learn English thanks to this system.

I often use computer except studying. I see various site. Blog is fun. I can know various thing, feelings and ideas. Especially, I like see diary. It is interesting. I don't know how people write them, but the writing tells me idea and feelings themselves.

Then, I use computer to research to something. I can know a lot of information of the Internet. For example, affairs of Japan and the world, show business news, weather forecast and favorite something.It is interesting to use Internet.

However, I learn fear of computer, too. We can know a lot of and various thing on the Internet. Information are flooded. We have to get correct information from a lot of information. There are mistaken information, too. We learned to choose correct information in the a lot of those from the computer. It is difficult to ascertain. Computer is very useful if don't mistake a use.

Food stuff

I am interested in researching nourishment. recently. I care about food I eat. I always research how nutrient do the food I eat have.
My electronic dictionary is very useful because the dictionary have many function. There is " the medical science of meal". So, I can research various foods easily. It is fun for me to know about food. I can make various discovery with my electronic dictionary., sometimes computer.
The foods is bad for health I thought is actually good for health.

For example, nuts. I thought that nuts was high calories, and nuts are bad for health. However I knew that nuts can reduce cholesterol. Especially peanut is better, but we should care to eat nuts too much. Nuts are high calories but good for health.

I want to learn dietetics. I want to know each food and nourishment. And then I want to try to ponder balance of nourishment. I may be suited studying them more than English.

Changed my taste

It is said that taste is changing with age. When I was a young, I thought it wasn't correct. However, I realize it recently because I could eat somefood that I dislike. And I didn't like some food that I liked.

I had liked raw fish, sasimi, since I was a child. My family liked it, too. So, we ate it almost every week. I was glad to eat it. Especially, my favorite fish are salmon, urchin, shrimp and flatfish. I ate them without wasabi. I can't eat only wasabi.

I hadn't eaten sasimi lately. So, I ate sasimi yesterday. Surprisingly, I found the fish taste fishy strong. I thought I might dislike raw fish. I like fish, so I often eat grilled fish. I love them. I like fish itself but I don't like to eat fish raw so much.

I realized that, while I realized one thing more. I couldn't eat wasabi until now but I could eat wasabi yesterday. I was surprised because I felt taste of wasabe was good. I try to eat wasabi more!!

Did my taste change indeed??? Perhaps the quality of fish has been bad. I don't know the truth. I'll eat grilled fish in either event.

My Birth Day

My birth month is December. I'll be twenty years old next week. I'll be adult at last. I don't realize that I'll be twenty years old!! My mental is still child. How time flies!

When I was about twelve years old, I thought fifteen years old is enough mature on the mental side. and when I was fifteen years old, I thought eighteen years old and over is much maturer still. However, I missed my tip. It seems to take me long time to be a adult.

Age of twenty is special, but I fears to be twenty years old. I think that there is a big difference between nineteen and twenty years old. It is sad to be adult, but there is a welcome thing. That's to drink. I can buy and drink alcohol drinks openly. I'm looking forward to drinking them.

I heard sometime that birthday is day when thank parents. We are usually celebrated by family, friends, boyfriend or girlfriend and so on. However, it seems that we should be respectful to our parents. I agree with this thought. I think them.

I wish twenty years old will be good age. I wish I can get happy.

Takeru Sato

When I was a high school student, I saw a drama in the morning. This drama was "kamen rider" that was popular among boys. I had never seen these dorama and I hadn't known about him. I had to get up early to work. I usually turn on television immediately if I get up. And then, it was broadcasted with television. The chief character of the drama was Takeru Sato. I was not interested in kamen rider at all till I watched the drama. I watched his performance. And I thought he was very cool. I didn't know he was cool only watching it a little. However, I came to like him and the drama while I looked it sometimes. He is age same as me. He intends to become more famous. His appearance works are Rookies and bloody monday. And then, Meichan-no- shitsuji begins in January of the next year. However, I like him in kamen rider most.

Secret of Kumamoto

I researched about family names in Kumamoto because I am interested in and I want to know them. I think that there are family names that exist in only Kumamoto prefecture. I want to know the family names and origin.

The family name that exist most in Kumamoto is Tanaka "田中". Second is Nakamura “中村”. Third is Matsumoto “松本”. Tanaka is the old topography family name that came into existence in a meaning that　lived in the field. Kansai and the Sea of Japan side have many this family names. Nakamura called Motomura (Hongo) Nakamura for a de-centralized village. This is kyushu of representative family names. Matsumoto is the place where deified pines grow thick. There is a lot this in West Japan with the progenies such as Kanmu Heike clan (Ise).

Next, I introduce unusual family names. 禿 "Hage", 早起 "Hayaki", 父母 "Hubo", 鳳凰 "Houou", 地下 "Chika", 続 "Tsuduki". Especially, Hayaki and Houou is rare family name. These family name exist in only Kumamoto. And, Can you know how to say "一"?? This is "Ninomae". It's so funny name.

There are rare family names exist more in Kumamoto and in the other prefecture, too.　I compare it with other prefectures. The North Japan has much Sato family names; "Kanto has much Suzuki family names"; "Kansai has much Tanaka family names". Furthermore, most family names are 佐藤 "Sato" in Japan. Second is 鈴木 "Suzuki", third is 高橋 "Takahashi".

I am interested in family name more. I want to research about family name in Fukuoka.

There are few friends who can be close to me without the same subject at a university, but there is the place that we can be involved with many people without a class by the school life. It is a club. I can make friends with the people who cannot get to know at the normal in the club while I spend a university life.

Health

I came to think in health recently. I think that I spend the partial eating habits since I was a child. Because the parents were working together, there were many opportunities to eat retortable pouches stocked up on. I like the vegetables. However, because it was troublesome to cook vegetables for me, I ate only the food of the microwave oven without eating vegetables too much. Besides, I ate a lot of cakes because I loved sweets. I thought that it was the unhealthy eating habits.

I noticed that I liked soy bean food recently. I liked fermented soybeans for a long time and ate three packs in a day. The next I noticed a taste of the tofu. Because I came to like tofu, I bought and ate some tofus from cheap to expensive. I liked to eat and pour sesame dressing to the tofu. However, I ate tofu too much and I was tired of it. Now I haven't eaten tofu.

Next, I came to like soyjoy. I ate them frequently. There are various tastes. My favorite taste is cacao nuts and raisin almond. I ate at morning and lunch time, and I ate them when I was hungry. However soyjoy is very expensive. So, I couldn't buy them. Then, I thought that I tried to cook like a soyjoy. Soyjoy made of powdered soybeans. I didn't get powdered soybeans because this wasn't sold at shops. So, I considered that I tried to cook them with soybean flour. So, I researched how to cook like a soyjoy on the Internet and I tried to cook like a soyjoy. However the taste was not good. I didn't use sugar so much for health. So, I was tired of the taste.

And now, I began to eat mix beans sold at stores. It is easy to get it. I can buy it without circumstance. Mix beans are four soybeans. Soybeans, Aodaizu, Hiyokomame, Kuromame. I like them very much. This is boiled and I can eat easily. I eat them without dressings. I can taste taste of soybeans itself. I eat them with mayonnaise once in a while. Mayonnaise match soybeans very much.

I think I will not be tired of soybeans.

MRS. DOUBT FIRE

I watched a DVD "MRS. DOUBT FIRE". At first, this movie is comedy, love and human movies. this movie includes some themes. For example, love, family, job, life. Especially, I thought this movie tell us the importance of the family.

Next, my impression about this movie are pleasant, but impressive. Father who is the chief character of this movie is a very pleasant person. He loves children than anything. His love comes from the scene of the beginning of the movie. Among the stand-ins of the cartoon film, he resisted the boss about a small bird smoking. It was resistance with his thinking about children. I thought working is important. If I were him, I couldn't quit the job such as him. I thought He was best father in the world.

He loved his children, but mother loved children, too. However, about the divorce, I thought that it was a difficult problem. I think that it is not a problem only for them to be divorced. The poorest person is the children. I felt that the children lived happily at least. It is not good to take one parent out of children for a selfish thought of a parent.

However, I think that his action is abnormal when I think from an aspect of a lifestyle. It is not good to do too much it. He acted without a thought. I was able to understand feelings of mother well. but, I like this father. It is very enviable. He is the father who is humorous, interesting and full of love.

School Festival

A school festival was held for three days. Our club was fried chicken shop this year. I sold fried chicken and a potato last year. However, for the reasons such as cost cuts, we sold fried chicken only this year. The sales of the fried chicken were good. I did work to fill the cup with fried chicken mainly. And I picked it up and ate it because I was hungry. Because the meeting time to the school was 7:00, I attended school by first train for three days. I got up at about 4:00,so I ate only fried chicken at school because I was not able to eat breakfast. By the school festival, various stands appeared. I ate the crepe for three days. It was very delicious. Because I sold fried chicken with having stood all the time, I had a pain in a foot. I spent very substantial three days. I feel like having been able to make friends with the first grader more.
We had night festival on the third day. I gathered in the athletic ground and was divided into every circle and splashed pop on each other. We were cold and splashed pop on each other last year while shaking. However, this year was more warmer than last year. Fireworks were very beautiful. Thereafter, there was launching. Because I was not able to come back on that day, I stayed at the karaoke. I was up all day last year, but slept immediately this year because the circumference of the liquor was early and got drunk immediately. I spent hard and happy three days.

It was very helpful to borrow it because dongri-no-ki is very far from my house.
There are various bread. I like bread of walnut. So, I chose the bread first of all and bread of walnut with raspberry. And this bakery is famous for curry bun. Naturally, I chose it. Besides, I chose a bread of chocolate and macadamia nut, cream bun powdered with sugar, melon bread and bread with cheeses. I bought a total of seven. The total of 1010 yen!! It is not expensive. I wanted to buy more but I stopped taking bread. I came back home in a hurry.

Mizutori

Today, I went to Mizutori with my mother and my grandmother at lunch. I ate a fresh grilled fish. I think that a grilling fish with salt is more delicious than sashimi. I went to Mizutori sometimes and ate a grilled fish. I like in particular cattails of the Seriola purpurascens. However, I came to like the cutlass fish when I ate a cutlass fish today. A set meal of Mizutori is reasonable. The service set meal is 1,000 yen. Rice (I can have another serving), sashimi, tempura, a custard-like egg and vegetable dish steamed in a cup, salad. The tempura is fried nicely and very delicious. And grilled fish set meal is 1000 yen, too. We can choose a fish from Seriola purpurascens, Mutsu, horse mackerel, cutlass fish, issaki, kutsuzoko, arakabu. All the fish are very fresh and are delicious. If a delicious fish wants to eat, I recommend that you go for MIZUTORI.
