Over Sleeping

     Over sleeping is a big problem of our life to live comfortably. When you wake up late, probably you do not want to admitthe fact. You feel upset and hope that you will not do it any more. However, most of late risers repeat over sleeping again and again. They cannot change their habit without effort. Over sleeping is a problem because it urges you to loose your job or drop points of your school. If you are late riser, you also loose the trust too. It threatens your future. Let’s try to solve the problem. How can they wake up on time? It seems to easy, but not for late risers. There are several solutions of over sleeping. The three possible solutions are setting alarms, creating sleepingcondition, and changing your daily habit.

     First of all, you have to set many alarms to wake up. There are many kinds of alarms, such as a mobile phone, PC, iPod, an analog clock, and a degital clock. For example, a mobile phone have an alarm with a function of snoozing. It rings every 5 minutes for 30 minutes to an hour from setting time. Most of people have a mobile phone, so use the function and buy at least one more alarm clock. Late risers can not wake up on time, so you should set the alarm one hour before the time you must wake up, and use snoozing as I said before. It makes you awake soon. If those solutions do not work, ask your friends or family for a morning call. It will help you to wake up too.

     Second solution is that creating sleeping conditions. By improving them, late risers will wake up on time. If you can not sleep early, you should control your condition. you can darken your bed room with a warm color light before you sleep. Warm color lights make you relax, so it will helo your sleeping. Drinking warm milk helps too, and do not take caffein, like a coke or coffee works as well. It easy to do, so try them and if they do not work, try to tire your body and brain. Exercising makes your body tired and reading books or playing studying games with Nintendo DS helps your brain tired. You should try something to create sleeping condition if you really want to wake up on time.

     Finally, changing your daily routines helps for over sleeping. You have to sleep at least 8 hours a day. It adjusts your biological clock. To do this, first week you try to start from 6 hours sleeping a day, second is 7 hours, and third week sleep 8 hours. you accustom your body to sleep earlier. you also need to finish up everything you have to do up to 2 hours before you sleep. Then you get enough time, and it links to your sleeping condition. To do this, you can make a list of what you have to do, and it helps finishing up your work smooth. Then you try to practice better habit. If you watch TV shows at late night, of course you can not wake up. You can record your favourite TV programs and watch them after. Same as this, you have to stop everything which you are doing at late night. You should change your life style to solve this problem. It is the hardest to do, but if you want to change yourself, you should practice it.

     To conclude this, over sleeping is a problem itself and also makes other trouble too. If you have not set more than two alarms, you should do as many as possible. If you have not created sleeping condition, you should think what you can do, and if you have not changed your daily routines, you should try to be better. Some of them are perhaps hard for you, but othe you can start easily, such as setting many alarms. You can start it from today. Changing your daily routines is quite hard because you have to change your habit. However, if you desperately try, it can be possible. The dicision is that you have to try hard and severe on yourself forconquering over sleeping.

Earthquake

     Have you ever experienced an earthquake? I have, but I never had a strong earthquake like the earthquake in Awaji. However, an earthquake happens often in Japan and also one of the most serious natural disaster in Japan is an earthquake. This is because there are many plates under Japan’s land. We cannot  escape from it. Due to an earthquake, we meet many difficulties in living. There are three effects of an earthquake such as making their feeling anxious, secondary disaster, and changing people’s lives.

     First, when an earthquake happens, people confuse about communication. They worry about their family or friends so telephone lines and roads will be jammed. This happening makes their feeling more anxious. Stopping water and gas make their feeling nervous too. Many happenings happen at one time. For this reason, people confuse about all. There is a problem that a number of hospitals and doctors are needed soon after an earthquake happens too. Many people will be impartient and confused about disorder.

     Second, there are many danger of secondary disasters. We can say that the secondary disaster is most dangerous in an earthquake. Houses, buildings, and any structures will collapse, even world heritage sites. People lose their house, office, or memories suddenly, and there is a danger that they are buried alive. As a result of the collapse, a fire will break out too. Tsunami is one of the most dangerous disaster in Japan too. It makes land slide and flood. Due to land slide and flood, the city swallow up and people drown too. The road also gets trouble. It cracks or breaks, and has to be closed; therefore, people will be caught in a traffic jam.

     Third, an earthquake has a big effect on people’s lives. As I said before, many people will lose their house. Most of those victims refuuge to a primary school near their area. After few days, they have to live temporary shelter until their house retrieve. People loose clothes, foods, and money; therefore, only a small persentage of the refugees will try to steal money or something from someone else. When an earthquake happens, people always adjoin to a death. We do not know when we die or injure at the time. They will loose their family, friends, or themselves’ life.

     To conclude, an earthquake threatens our life. When an earthquake happens, people are confused and impatient about the situation. As I said in introduction, we cannot escape from an earthquake. What can we do then? The three effects show us that an earthquake changes our life very easily. We must know what we should do after an earthquake. However it is difficult to change our mind swiftly. We have to remember that we are living with a danger of an earthquake every day.

New York vs Sydney

     If I live in abroad, I will cite two site proposed, New York and Sydney. I had been those cities before, and I compared the similarities and differences of the two cities. Consequently I decided to live in Sydney because of food, environment, and sports.

     First of all, it seems New York and Sydney have various food. When I visited to New York, I ate a big hamburger. It was the symbol food of America. There were also some Japanese, French, Italian, Chinese, and American food. Those were pretty nice, but one thing I did not like about was the rice. The rice of America did not match with my tongue. I love rice, so it was big disadvantage to live in New York. When I was living in Sydney, I never worried about food. This was because all of food I ate were so nice even the rice. There are also various food as New York, but the taste matched with me than New York. I think this was most important thing to live for me.

     Second, both cities have similarities and differences of environment and season. The season of New York is same as Japan. In December, it becomes very cold and snows. On the Christmas day, the city is decorated with lots of illuminated trees and buildings. It is so beautiful even if it is cold. However, New York is very big city, so there are many crowds and heavy traffic jams. It makes me nervous because I grew up in country side of Japan. I do not like a place where has too many people and cars. Sydney is also big city. Although its season is opposite from Japan, it has very nice decoration for the Christmas day as New York. It is hot in the Christmas season, but not soggy like Japanese summer, so I like the climate. Sydney has a big city call Town Hall. It is quite large and has long streets, but there are not too many people like New York. There are also still town around big cities, so I do not feel depression to live.

     Next, both countries get excited at sports. New York is famous for base ball and basket ball. I watched the game of base ball at a stadium, and it was interesting. However, I do not interested in watching basket ball and base ball games on TV at home. Sydney is famous for rugby in winter. I watched rugby game at a stadium when the world cup took place and it made me excited. I was also watching games on TV as well.
I enjoyed to watch them both. I like rugby more than base ball and basket ball, so I think Sydney is better than New York to watch sport.

     As I said above, I think the city which match with me is Sydney. It has nice various food, good environment, and rugby. To live in abroad is not easy specially food for me. I am 22 years old so I cannot change my life style simply. I think New York is very interesting and attractive city to visit, but Sydney is more suitable for living, so I decided to live in Sydney finally.

Mobile phone

   Can you live without mobile phone? Perhaps most of you cannot. This is because mobile phone is already part of your life. However, why do you need it? Did not you live without it once? I did, but mobile phone is necessary for my life now. Mobile phone is very useful to live, but the time before it was popularized cheaply, most of people did not have it. People could live without it 10 years ago. Then why do they need it? Mobile phone use has made people’s lives more convenient over the past 10 years by more connected to information, widening the multiple uses, and keeping more in touch with others.

   Recently people access to the Internet by a mobile phone. This is because they can look the news of today. The news is always latest, so you do not need to watch television at home. You can check the whether forecast of 24 hours too. Also you can check TV programs, music, book, movie and actor’s information too. My mobile phone has an application which can search a time table of TV shows. All of information you need can be searched by mobile phone. In addition, many companies pay close attention to mobile phone, so they have made web sites for it. Now you will not worry about job hunting without a computer, because you just need mobile phone to do it. Mobile phone is convenient to our life by connecting to information.

   Mobile phone has multiple uses and it is widening. For example, I like Internet shopping. I buy clothing, CDs, and books on the Internet frequently. When I buy them, I use my mobile phone because it is portable and light, so I do not need to care a place and time. Mobile phone is all-purpose. You can listen musics, read books, and watch TV too, so you will not need i Pod or television and so on. Today, mobile phone keeps evolving, so you can send e-mail while you are listening music. It can be anything around us even a wallet. Now you just touch your mobile phone to the magnetic panel to pay money. Also when you check in at the airport, you do not need a boarding proceeding. you jump to security check and show the bar-code on the panel. Mobile phone is very useful, so you just need to bring mobile phone only in your bag.

   One of the important reason of need of mobile phone is keeping more in touch with others. It connects to friendship, family relationship, and business connection. Mobile phone is necessary for young people to keep their relationship. One day, a TV station tested a high school girl for research which is about how she act when she cannot touch her mobile phone. Just after it started, she became restless and soon, got it back from a desk in front of her. Then she started to finger her mobile phone. Mobile phone also keeps the connection of family relationship. It protects kids by alarm and GPS, and makes a family closer by e-mail. Mobile phone is very significant to manage a job. You can talk to connection anytime and anywhere, so you will not lose business even if you are outside of office or Japan as well. The above shows how important mobile phone is for people’s connection.

   In conclusion, people cannot live without mobile phone. This is because they use it as their partner of life. Mobile phone keeps evolving now on. There are various styles which are touch panel, slim, water proof, bone conduction, or compact. People choose their favorite style and each style has variety, so they can find best one for their life style. Mobile phone makes people’s lives more convenient over the past 10 years. It will be more convenient next 10 years too.

GOLDEN WEEK

     I did not do many special things at this golden week, but I had little nice time. First day, my friends and I had a pizza party at my friend’s house. We get together at 19 O’clock and ordered 3 pizzas. While we were waiting pizza, we went to a drugstore to buy some drinks. Soon afterward, a pizza deliverer arrived and delivered big 3 pizzas! Then we watched a DVD which I borrowed before I came. It was so terrible and atrocious story. After we watched it all, we talked together and laugh a lot. Finally we went back home at 1 O’clock. The next day, I stayed at home and rest, because I had to go to Hirakata Park to help work at Mc Donalds’ on the day after tomorrow. On the day which I went to Hirakata Park, I got tired very much. It was a “Child day”, so many people visited to Hirakata Park. I worked from 10:30 to 19:00, and 11:30 to 14:00 was peak time. It terribly crowded, so the store got very hot inside. Also there were many complaints, so I was busy to do troubleshooting. After I finished my work, I went back home. On the way to home, I dropped in at Oushou to eat dinner with my friend. We ate meat dumplings, fried rice, and so on. After we enjoyed dinner, we moved place for chatting. About 2 to 3 hours we talked and then went back home. Last 2 more days, I stayed at home and did no special things. I just cleaned my room little bit and sleep. However, I still enjoyed my golden week this year too.

How To Make An Easy Soup

A. Topic: How to prepare my favourite soup

C. Outline:

  1. Explain the recipe briefly – easy, time, amount
  2. Prepare ingredients and dress them – peel and cut them, check procedure
  3. Procedure after preliminary – boil water, put them in, stew

D. Do you know how to make an easy soup? I do. I would like to introduce how to prepare my favourite easy soup.

E.          Do you know how to make an easy soup? I do. I would like to introduce how to prepare my favourite easy soup. This is very easy so you do not need to write down. You can remember and arrange it if you want. I would explain the recipe, ingredients, and procedure. The recipe can be said “easy”. This is because I use a cube of consomme. It is very useful to cook. The water to the cube is 300ml to 1 cube. Total time to cook it is perhaps 10 to 15 minutes. All I need is a carrot, a celery, 5 sliced bacons, black pappers and solt. But if you want more vegetables, you can put more like a potato or an onion. After checking procedure, wash vegetables, and peel and cut them. I cut rather large size. Cut sliced bacons to half. During cutting them, start voiling water. When it voiled, put all ingredients in and a cube too. When the cube melted, put little bit of solt. Then all have done. I just need to stew them for 5 minutes afterwards. Put into a bowl and sift black pappers at last. This is very simple and easy, but so nice. It is healthy but tasty and can be my favourite soup, so I suggest you to try once.

I haven’t decide a plan for my golden weel, but I want to go to Tokyo for reserching my job. If I have no part time job at that time, I will go back to my home town, Kochi. Anyway I don’t choose it yet.

Last year, my friends in Tokyo came to Osaka on the golden week. They stayed at my house for 4days. We went to Expo Land with my friend in Osaka. It was before the accident happened in Expo. However, we enjoyed at Expo.

If I have time and money, I will visit the friends in Tokyo.
