 Yesterday, I learned about OCD and I watched movie in US. So what do I learn from last class ? This is difficult question for me because we have each OCD. So I talk about my case. 

 I have some of OCD. For instance, when I go to outside, then I have some of rules about my belonging. I always decide potion to my belongings that is text book, file, sporting uniform, wallet and so on. But why do I decide potions ? Because this is my luetine in daily life, I can feel relaxed therefore I must prepare to my belongings.

 In my conclusion, OCD is ruetine. We are supported by it that have some of case and we have some of OCD each other.

Assignment 6 : Chiharu Yamaguchi

     What I learned today are steps to achieve my goal.  In the class, I watched a video of a person who is madness in US. He was a professional border and strict with himself. When I watched this video, I thought he's strict with himself too much but I think we need it to achieve our goal. In my experience, a strict with myself is a good way. When I was freshmen, I took a high level English classes. At the time I wanted to absent those because it was stress because of my broken English. Also my teacher told me in front of my classmate "why am I here Chiharu. This class is difficult for me." However I didn't want to give up so I studied strictly with making steps. I tried to speak in English with my teacher or friends. After the semester I got S score from the teacher. It made me happy.

     Thus I think making steps to achieve my goal are good methods for success.

Story 

 Romsey Musallman is chemistry teacher in high school. He could understand what need for education through him teaching experience more than 10 years. He had a cancer at artery. He afraid that but when he talked with his doctor, he could get peace of mind. Because his doctor has confidence to do operation.  He though. It is important to prepare for everything. He said that all teacher must make sure to foster for student’s curiosity.

Lesson

 From his story because I think that fix rule and fix frame is no good for us, I learned following important points: Curiosity comes first, Embrace the mess, and Practice reflection. There would be disturb good opinions and good ideas. Therefore, we have to think without frame. We should have a flexible mind like children. 

I learned that flexibility is important for us.

We need to think outside of the box. If we do that,  we will be discovery new ideas. 

My personal experience 

 When I was high school student, I was member of the student council’s accounts. We had to work for school at that time. It was really hard for us because quantity was a lot. One day, our leader said let’s do brain storming. I want your crazy and curios opinions.

We talked about what I wanted to do at student council. We shared with each enthusiasm of student council. For example, we stick Post-it on a wall, window, white board, refrigerator, PC, and so on. Since then, we held meeting every day. We discussed in unreasonably. Probably, students except student council member thoughts that we looked like fools. However, we could succeed almost to use this way. I thought that we needed curiosity as well as considering through having fun to prepare for the theme. This experience was really important for me

1 How do I motivate myself

 In my case, I always make the hard situation for me. When I was in AUS, I made a lot of friends. I didn't care what they are from even if they are Japanese. One day, however, I realized I need to talk with English speaker for my English skill. At first I talk a lot with English leaner as Asian or somewhere because it's easy to understand each other. However it was not good our skill because we made some mistakes and leaned mistakes each other. Then I thought I should talk with Australian because we wWere in AUS. I had a good opportunity to learn English from many native speakers. After I rearized that, I tried to make many Australian friends. It was hard to do because I was the language school so there aren't Australian there. I think, however, my English skill improved after I made a lot of Austlarian friends. 

 Thus I think making hard situation is good for keeping my motivation.

2 how do I motivative other people

 

 I think I need to show them goal. For me, having goal is important. If there was not any goal, I can't do with motivation. For example I'd like to get S score in my classes. It's my goal there. I can study hardly because of my goal. 

 For this reason, I think I think to show them goal is good way to motivative other people.

Assignment 4:Sawako Nishi

Q1 When I write a letter, I prefer analog style which is handwriting because I think handwriting letter is put mind of writer. So I use the way for example I write letter when my family's and friend's birthday, Mother's Day, Father's Day and so on. Handwriting letter is registered each human's individuality and there is warmth in the letter.

Assignment 4: Takumi Katsuno

 Q1:  I like drawing a picture. When I draw a picture, I use a paintbrush, because it is easy to use and express it. However, some people draw a picture with their computer recently. Then they use a digital pen. It is difficult for me to draw a picture and I cannot express it freely. That is why I prefer to draw a picture with a paintbrush than to use a digital pen.

Q2:  I prefer "Analog" in my life, because the analog life is more interesting than the digital life. If I spend the analog life, I cannot know the problem in advance and I cannot expect happening next, but it is the good point of analog. That is why I can always experience events in defferent form. However, if I spend the digital life, I can know the problem in advance, I can expect happening next, and I will not be surprised at any time. It is boring for me to spend the life. I thought that we should go our ways like analog life to find new something.

Q2 

I learned appearance is chsnged by simply changing the idea. Disease is bad thing for her but she is positive. She appreciated a lot of things family ,letter and disease. She changed her mind by myself. Therefore she realized many things. It is most important thing that she said you're faced  with something that's unexpected , tgat it just may be a gift. 

Q3

I tell you about my experience. I didn't like to study English because there are many rules. Writing is difficult I didn't speak. However when I went to abroad first time I realized language is just tool. If I can speak I talk with all over the world. Further many people do not speak correct English but they are really active. They don't care about little mistake. English is not study just one of tool I think. 

She has

 a real experience that she met death. Anybody has not. If she talk about fake story maybe anybody is not impressed. There are no doubt. Her experience is much value. Therefore listener consider lots of things. Of course we did.

This time AGAIN, I would like you to be very careful with your English grammar. Please proof-read before you post on the blog.

Sentence connector Sentence.
I eat food  when I am hungry.
I eat food, when I am hungry.

Do we need COMMA in front of when?    No we do not need commma.


What about this?
I eat food  because I am hungry.
I eat food, because I am hungry.

Do we need COMMA in front ofbecause?    No we do not need commma.

Many people put comma in front of the connector in the sentence. However, please DO NOT put comma.


Only comma you can put in front of connector is:

Sentence , but Sentence.
Sentence , so Sentence.

Q1

Analog record is better I think. When I listen to music I compare analog and digital. I like analog because it puts out a soft sound. If you listen analog you immediately apparent.  It is difficult for digital to reproduce perfectly.  We can listen true sound from analog. 

Q2

Of course I prefer analog. Why I think it because digital dose not reproduce a lot of part. For example , photo. There are many digital camera like Nikon, Canon and so on. If I take a picture all of things same situation, Canon's picture is little bit red, Nikon's picture is little bit purple. Digital camera is depend on processor.  However, analog camera can take same picture. In other word , analog camera can reproduce as the one seen. It has inconvenience like editing , changing to digital, dose no take again etc. Because there are many of inconvenience , better art is born I think. 

Assignment 4 : Ryuji Seko

Nowadays we can buy new and efficient fishing devices, but there need high costs and really difficult to using. That's why I'm prefer to use analog type fishing device even thought not efficient to catch fish.

Q.2 I think depend of things, I have a experience about "dictionary" I used paper dictionary one month ago, at that time I thought electric dictionary is more convenience to using and I bought it. But now I'm still using paper dictionary even I have electric dictionary because I felt electric dictionary is really forgettable new words I don't know why, but paper dictionary is suitable for me so I'm still using paper dictionary. Actually new technology makes our lifestyles are more convenience and I'm use it also, such as Cellphone, PC, Camera, electric dictionary, and many more. So I'm using analog and digital for depends on situation.
