Dear My Friend !

Hello!! Long time no see><
How's everything?? Is Japan cold??
I really miss you. I will go back to Japan after two months.
I'm looking forward to seeing you so much!

By the way, I have heard that you want to study English in Winnipeg, Canada.
So, I want to give you some advice about living in Canada and learning English.

First, I want to tell you the weather in Canada.
Canada is very cold in winter.
The temperature is almost minus degree!!! Sometimes, I feel minus 40 degree!!
It's so terrible!! I can't stay outside without gloves because my hands are frozen soon.
And, you need to wear tights inside pants.
So, in winter, you have things that you should care.
But, in summer, you can live in Canada more comfortably than in Japan because Canada is not humid!
It 's good to live in Canada during summer!

Second, I want to tell you transportations in Winnipeg.
Winnipeg is very different from Japan. Winnipeg doesn't have trains.
Main transportations are a bus or car.
I use a bus everyday, but the bus is not punctual and sometimes not kind!
One day, the bus that I waited for long time just passed in front of  me (;_;)
The bus didn't stop because there are too many people in the bus.
Maybe, I think that it's common in Winnipeg.
So, if you become my situation, don't be disappointed!

Third, I want to tell important things about learning English.
You should be positive and active.
You may think that speaking English is scary when you come to Canada.
But, it's not good. If you talk to a parson positively, you can make many friends!
And, if you have a question in classes, you should ask your teacher soon.
Teachers in IEP will help you!
And, you should join to many IEP activities.
Activity is a chance to make friends!

These three things are my advice to you.
I hope that they can help you.
After I go back to Japan, let's hang out!
See you later ;)))

United 93 Movie Discussion

Q7. Why do the passengers decide to fight back? What do you think you would have done in their situation? Why?

A. The passengers decide to fight back because they want to survive.
They thought that if they do nothing in the hijacked plane, they just will be killed, and when they knew this plane which they were taking is one of planes which crush into the World Trade Center, they wanted to stop this plan.
So, they decide to fight with the hijackers.
If I was in their situation, I couldn't fight back because I don't have a bravery and confidence.
One of the hijackers had a bomb.
The hijacker explodes the bomb if I fail in the plan to fight.
My act affects all passengers' life.
So, I can't have a big responsibility.
I may depend on people who fight back.


Q8. How does the passengers’ planning and bravery affect the terrorists? Why?
I think that the passengers' planning and bravery made the terrorists confuse and afraid of them because the terrorists didn't expect some passengers to fight back.
The terrorists were afraid of fail in the terrorism from the beginning.
But, they thought that the passengers will never fight back because they had a bomb.
So, they didn't understand the situation and know what they should do when the pssengers started to fight back.


Q11. How did seeing United 93 change your opinion of the 9/11 attacks? Why do you think the victims’ families believe it is important for people to see this film?

Before I watched this movie, I didn't know about  the 9/11 attacks well.
I have just known that many people died and a war happened by this attacks so far.
So, this movie told me a fear of terrorism and how terrible this 9/11 attacks are.
The victims' families believe it is important for people to see this film because they want us to know about this tragedy and they don't want us to forget many people who died by the terrorism.  

My hobby

I'm going to talk about my hobby today!
I really like to watching a movie and traveling :))
I watch many kind of movie; action, SF, comedy, love story and animation.
I like everything!! I like to know the things what I didn't know so far by movies.

Last Saturday, I watched The Beauty and The Beast 3D.
It is my favorite Disney movie, and Belle who is main character is also my favorite Disney princess!

And, my hobby is also traveling.
I have been in Canada for about 10 months. The rest of  living in Canada is about two months.
During living in Canada, I went to Toronto, Montreal and Qebec city, and I want to go to New York!
Before I will go back to Japan, I want to make memories in various place.

But, I have some plans for traveling after I will go back to Japan.
One of them is traveling to Korea in this summer! I really want to go to Korea because I like Korean food and Korean singers, and I want to see my friends who I met in IEP!!
So, I'm looking forward to seeing them!!

Second, I want to go to Kyoto in Japan!
Kyoto is a traditional city. I want to visit famous temples and stay loosely lol

Actually, I want to go to London to watch the Olynpic games in this summer.
But, I gave up because I don't have enough money....

Anyway, I will work hard in my part time job to travel after I will go back to Japan!!
