Repletion

2009-07-17T20:26:00.000-07:00

What did you eat at lunch? I'm going to tell about food. Do you know the amount of food waste in Japan? Our country wastes about 19 million tone food in a year. The amount equals 46 million people of developing country’s food in a year. As you know, the food self-sufficiency ratio in Japan is 40%. However, the food waste ratio is 25%. In other words, we waste one-third of the import food. The detail is general household waste 11 million tone food, store waste 8 million tone food. The amount equals the world food assistance quantity. We waste developing people’s food.

There are some kinds of disease because of repletion. The disease is called “disease of affluence. Cancer, heart disease, diabetes, osteoporosis, and obesity are disease of affluence. Cancer is the worst death in Japan. I believe patient with disease of affluence increase because I always hear names of these diseases. Diseases of affluence are not other people's affairs

Japan is a country of low food self-sufficiency and depends on import food, so we should reflect on repletion. First, we have to save food from waste. Second, we have to wrestle with reuse of the waste. Third, we have to straighten up our acts on food.

2009-06-04T18:51:00.000-07:00

The book is written on money and mint. The book introduces a 50 cent coin us. The 50 cent coin goes to a bank from the mint. Next, the coin goes to a shop from the bank. After that, the coin goes to the mint from the shop. Now the 50 cent coin is very old, so the coin goes back to the mint and the coin is melted down to make new coin.
I understood that old coins go back to the mint because the coins are melted down to make new coins. I have 50 cent coin. The coin is old, so the design is not clear. I think that if I use the coin, the coin would have gone back to the mint.

Book Review 2-7 Cat Games

2008-11-20T17:02:00.000-08:00

There are two cats, and they are good friends. The orange cat is female and her name is Pat. The gray cat is male and his name is Matt. They play hide-and-seek with a tree and they run around in the garden. One day, a barking dog comes, so Pat and Matt are frightened with the dog. They climb up hastily a tree. They wait and see in the tree. After that, they climb down the tree. Pat and Matt play with the dog under the tree.

I read Cat Games. The book has 231 words and has simple English, so the book is very easy for me to read. I think that we have to read easy books if we can read hard books.

Book Review 2-5 The Jumoing Frog

2008-11-17T07:02:00.000-08:00

I read The Jumping Frog which was written by Mark Twain.

There a man who received a letter from a friend of him. The friend asked the man about Simon Wheeler. The friend wanted to know about Leonidas W. Smiley, so the friend wanted the man to asked Simon Wheeler about Leonidas W. Smiley. After that, the man found Simon Wheeler and asked about Leonidas W. Smiley.

Smiley always bet money. For example, he bet a horse race, a dog-fight, a cat-fight and a chicken-fight. He was a very lucky person, so he always won on them.

One day, Smiley found a frog and took it home. He taught his frog how to jump far and many things. He won all bets with his frog.

After that, a stranger said Smiley that the stranger bet 40 dollars with frogs. The stranger had not a frog, so Smiley went to the river to find a frog for the stranger. while the stranger waited for Smiley, he put some pellets into the frog's mouth. After some time, they bet with their frogs. The stranger won on the bet. Smiley was disappointed. He noticed that his frog is unusual fat.

He looked for the stranger, but he was not able to find the stranger.

I think that the story sat our do not get carried away. Even lucky person as a Smiley fail. The stories which was written by Mark Twain always say our important things in our life.

Movie Review 2-1 Shrek

2008-11-16T22:43:00.000-08:00

Shrek is a monster and his body is green, so people fear him. He is always bluffing, but he always feels loneliness because people fear him and he has no friends.Donkey is talkative and friendly. He likes Shrek and follows Shrek. He is Shrek's first friend.
Princess Fiona is a very beautiful and romantic girl. However, she becomes a green monster like Shrek when the sun goes down. So, she understands the feelings of Shrek well.

One day, Donkey was ejected from his town by Lord Farquaad. Donkey arrived at a swamp, where Shrek lives. Shrek told Donkey to go back. However, Donkey did not go back. This night, the fairy tale characters gathered at the swamp. Shrek got angry and protested to Lord Farquaad. The lord promised to hear the complaint of Shrek on the condition that Shrek helps Fiona, a princess. Shrek went to help the princess with Donkey. There is a Dragon, and she stands in Shrek’s way. Shrek rescues Fiona. Donkey and Dragon began a close relationship. When they went back, Donkey heard Fiona’s secret from her. Shrek and Fiona are like each other, but they had a quarrel because of Shrek’s misunderstanding. Then, Fiona decided to marry Lord Farquaad.

I watched Shrek. It is first time for me to watch the movie. At first, I thought that the movie was a grotesque animation. However, the movie is very good and impressive story. I feel good that the story has a happy ending. I learned things from the movie that we do not judge people by their appearance, and we should act with courage and take good care of our friends. Though Shrek is feared by people, I think that he is gentle, brave and manly.

I think about part-time

2008-11-14T17:36:00.000-08:00

I have been working as a food service assistant in Kumamoto City McDonald's restaurant since January 2007. Now, I am SW Manager there. I did not want to be SW Manager because SW Manager's job is hard for me. For example, I have to manage money and materials, and I have to receive complains of the customers, and I am responsible for the safety of the customer and crew. I think that inventory is one of the worst work of SW Manager. I do not like to count anything, and to input data of the inventory into personal computer.

In past day, I did inventory. I finished it at 11:30 p.m., so I was late to go back home. I arrived at my home at 0:00 a.m., so my mother worried very much. That day is rainy day and Sunday, so bus was no service at that time. I had to go back home by taxi. I did think that I want to quit working at McDonald's. If you work part-time as a SW Manager at McDonald's, you would be very busy. I am very busy now. I want to do some homework, write blog, read English books, watch movies and so on, but it is hard for me to do now. I was not able to get 9 credits, because I was not able to take holiday of part-time job, and did not have the time to do homework. I do not want to fail credits in the second term. I work hard to do homework or assignment.

I have been writing blog only with 2500 words of 15000 words. I should write blog more.
