Part time job

The main advantage of working a part time job is that we can get some moneys. When I have a free time, it is profitable. Moreover if we wanted to something, we could buy it. You will not be complained about your usage. Also we can make friends expect our university. I have some friends of other university, we can learn about society. I learned about an honorific expression word and the etiquette. I can attend to other people very politely. This experience is very useful when we get a job and we start a job. One of the disadvantages of working a part time job is that we are very tired because we may keep standing or moving. Also we may have some stress when we are gotten angry. Also we can't play because we don't have a free time and the plan of work cannot change. Moreover if you were a lot of works, you might come back home late and you might get up late. You cannot go to school. Also we must memorize a lot of thing.

There are a lot of good and bad points in summer. The good points are so much free time. So there are so many good opportunities to try new things. For example, going abroad, working at part time job, and hanging out with friends. However, these things have also bad points. If you work at midnight, it will change your life cycle. It will also cause something bad for your health. And when the classes start, you will not be able to get up early. What’s more, most people are feeling free in summer, so they might be caught up in troubles.

Essay 6 :Review of the first episode of a American TV drama

I watched HEROES, an American TV drama because my friend likes this drama. My friend said the characters are individual and a bad person who has a special ability becomes a good person who has special ability, there is a love story, and a lot of highlight. While he sees it, he doesn't know who are good friends and who is the enemy. It is not a story that a simple hero defeats evil and Japanese places and persons work as a character, he said.
This story is United States, India and Japan. Some phenomena begin to occur in the a different land. Suddenly, some people have special ability. For example flying in the air, a body reproduction, a future foresight, a space time operation, and other things. Some people who have special ability feel a mission in their ability, the other people who have them are afraid of their ability so hide them, or abuse others with them. People without any connection gather and fight. When I watched the first episode of this American drama, it is on a very large scale and used composition and CG so it was like a movie. I didn't know the story development but Peter was so cool, Hiro, who is Japanese person, has the ability to change in space time, and the scene where he was pleased with his having been able to slow a hand on the watch for one second was interesting. Many kinds of ability came up, and I thought that I wanted some ability, too. I was worried about the continuance very much. I want to have the ability for moment memory because I can solve a problem of tests so easy without study. I think Peter's ability where he can copy the ability of an other person is unrivaled because using the ability of other people is same so he can have a lot of abilities. I am interested in Peter's activity. This drama has a lot of episodes so it will take time to see all these dramas. However I will watch this drama thanks to this problem with much effort because I began it, so I want to continue watching it.

Woman and Man

This is my report when I was 1st university student.

Women and men have different. Firstly, women typically prefer to talk about their feelings, while men tend to withdraw. For example, when a couple has a problem, a women will typically try to solve the problem by talking about it with her partner. A man, on the other hand, is usually more inclined to solve the problem alone. He therefore removes himself from the situation, or tries to get away from the woman to be by himself.
Secondly, men and women respond to each other differently. Both men and women are very good at reading their partner's feelings. The difference is in their reactions. Women actually feel what their partner is feeling. In contrast, men understand their partner's feelings, but don't actually feel these feelings themselves. For example, if a man is stressed, his partner will see this and become stressed. However, if a woman is stressed, her partner will recognize it but won't become stressed himself.
Third, brain of the woman is lighter and smaller than brain of the man. Brain of the man is 1400～1500g. Brain of the woman, on the other hand, is 1200～1250g. However, those two facts are not related man is smarter than woman. A clear distinction between the two is corpus callosum. It is a part to tie the right brain and the left brain. Corsus callosum of woman is rounder and bigger than it of the man. That is why women is not good at thinking about things theoretically. Men theorize it and speak only a necessary matter. Women talk with whole brain. In contrast, men talk with the left brain only. When women speak, women tend to become emotional and women often get off the subject because all information in brain is mixed.

Essay 5: Best days in my life

My favorite music group is Kis-My-Ft2 of johnny's. This group name is from the initials of the names of the members: Kitayama Hiromitsu, Senga Kento, Miyata Toshiya, Yokoo Wataru, Fujigaya Taisuke, Tamamori Yuta, Nikaidou Takashi. They dance and sing on roller skates. First, many people thought they were another group that would disappear soon. I thought so too. However I watched drama on the TV called Ikemen desu ne. Tamamori and Fujigaya acted this drama.
When I was 17 years old, I was disappointed in love. I thought I wouldn’t fall in love again. But I watched the drama, I fell in love with Tamamori. From that day, I checked their TV programs and dramas, CDs, DVDs. I was attracted by their activities. I wanted to know them, I checked their activities in the past and their videos on Youtube. I always listened to their music. They were sources of my spirit. When I was 18 years old, I went to their concert in Fukuoka. My seat was near the stage. It was the first time that I went to the concert, so I was tense. When the curtain of the stage opened and they appeared, I cried because I was moved. This time, I had the best time. Furthermore, I could shake hands with Fujigaya and Kitayama. Their hands were big and soft. I cried and cried. I said I wouldn’t wash my hands. I thought this at the live concert because I always met before only on TV. Their dancing and singing made me so happy. When this concert finished, I cried and I wanted to meet them again. So I worked hard at my part time job, I saved my money. I traveled to Tokyo and Osaka and Fukuoka to meet them. On my 19th birthday, this day was their concert in Osaka, and this birthday was the happiest day in my life. This concert hall was very big so I couldn't see them close. However I was glad because I could meet them. All their concerts are splendid and I seem to have a dream. This summer, I will go to their concert tours. I want to get 9 concert tickets. I must pay about 120,000 yen. I want to make this dream come true. I'm working hard at my part time job to meet them.

My Part Time Job: Urban

My part time job is at Urban, which is a temporary personal service. There is near the Suizenji station. If you want to work there, you have been interview a person. However you have a friend who work at Urban, you can work there. There are three kinds of companies that Urban provides staff for. First, we work in a hotel. There are three kinds of jobs in the hotel. Most jobs are serving at a wedding reception. We set the table and provide some drinks. It’ll take three times in a day at the longest. But we don’t have a formal intermission, but take a ten minutes break when we have a light meal. Moreover, we need to work as hotel staff, too. The details of the job are the same. However, this job is hard and the hours are long. Things I need for the wedding job are stockings and pumps, a name card, hair net, pen, memo, red lipstick and bottle opener. The other work is in the restaurants in the hotel. There are two kinds of restaurants. One is a Japanese restaurant, and the other is a Chinese restaurant. We have to accept orders, serve and make some drinks. Things I need are Japanese socks or stockings, pumps, and an apron. The second place Urban sends us to is a Japanese restaurant in the city. We wear a kimono or shirt and skirt. We serve, make some drinks and clear. We need to explain the dishes. We work a set shift of four hours. We can finish working even if a task is not finished. However, we cannot eat meals. Third, we work for Urban as hostesses. This job takes place at some restaurant or hotel. We only make drinks or serve sake and chat with customers only. We work two hours. We don’t have to clear. Things I need are stockings and pumps, name card and skirt. It is hard for us to work at Urban because we must remember a lot of things. However, I think this is work worth doing. Shall we work at Urban together?

We don't know when we drown

When I was four years old, I went swimming in a pool with my brother and my grand father. I couldn't swim in a deep pool. I swam in a shallow pool and I used a float. That float was somehow different from the other floats. It was not a ring. Our feet were into two holes of the float. I enjoyed swimming. Suddenly my float turned over. I couldn't understand what happened I couldn't breath because I drowned! I couldn't get up. My upper part was in water. I struggled in the water to get up but I couldn't. I thought that I wasn't saved. Then, my grand father helped me. I would be dead if I was saved a little later. Even if there is a float, I am drowned I thought that we must be careful when we go swimming.

I was born in Hayato town, Kirishima city, Kagoshima and I grew up there. Kagoshima is in the south of Kyusyu and Sakura island is there. The volcano at Sakura island frequently erupts so we can't hang out the wash to dry. If we do that, we must do the washing again. When we walk out, volcanic ash falls from the sky as well as rain. we often have to use an umbrella. Most of stores sell umbrellas for volcanic ash. The next day when it falls, we can see the bags for the ash at the dump site. In Kagoshima, we dump ash as well as combustible garbage. Moreover, we can buy volcanic ash for a souvenir.

The traditional food of Kagoshima is satumaage, sashimi of raw chicken, shirokuma and keihan. Satumaage is seasoned fish meat with salt, sugar and it is fixed in a form and fried in oil. Satumaage, sashimi of raw chicken is the breast and the thigh of the chicken with soy sauce which we put garlic and ginger in. Shirokuma iscondensed milk on shaved ice and served with fruit such as the canned fruit and adzuki bean jam on the top. Keihan is rice on shredded chicken and omelet cut into strips, shiitake mushroom, cut long green onions, cut seaweed, and we pour soup in it. We often eat when we have a school lunch.

Kagoshima has a lot of hot springs. The especially famous hot springs are Ibusuki and Kirishima hot springs. In Ibusuki, we can take a sand steam bath. In Kirishima, we can take a sulfur spring. Ryouma Sakamoto visited Kirishima for his honeymoon with his wife. This honeymoon was the first in Japan. Hayato of my hometown is enclosed by Kinkou Bay and mount Kirishima.
