movie review: †itanic

I am just talking about most my favorite movie. It's “Titanic”. Have you ever seen this movie? Of course, you know this wonderful movie. This is an effectively story when in 1991 happened and it was productioned in 1997. Direction is a James Cameron. He has ever productioned “Terminator” in 1991 and “Aliens”in 1986. So I like him very much. When he production new movie, I always watch it. The so called James Cameron otaku. This movie is a most very grieve love story that I have ever seen of his movie. The main character of this story are Jack Dawson (Leonard Dicaprio) and Rose Dewitt (Kate Wirslet ). Both Jack and Rose is great actor. In this story, they met in luxurious ship and fall in love with each other. By degrees their love is flame up. But their ending of love is not happy. Jack is a very poor but he has great hot heart and he is also brave and manly. He could make Rose happy only few minutes. She also too. Her life became great career through his help. If she did not help by Jack……. If she did not meet with him……her life will be not. I favorite scene is a last scene. In the sea Jack says arose “Hold on just a little bit longer.”I am always moved to tears. I am bowed by grief. But this movie is always making me happy. Please watch “Titanic”!!

My best memory

When I was a child, my family often climbed the mountain on a holiday or long vacation. When I an junior high school, I went to Aso to climb Kuzyu mountain with my family. Then I have already climbed the mountain for two times. But every time we couldn’t climb to the top of the mountain, because we were young and the mountain is a very high mountain. But at last, we could climb kuzyu mountain when I am junior high school. When I stood the top of mountain, I moved by beautiful piece of scenery. I was very tired but I could get very important things.

Second Language

Second language

In my opinion, American students should have to learn second language. For one thing, now English is very popular language around the world. Of course it is also compulsory subject in Japan, So we can enjoy other country language and help our life. So If American student can study second language, they can broaden their horizon. Also now many country’s people go to America to study English. So, if American student can understand second language, they can help visitor, overseas student, for many times. Also , they can have interest about many other country. I think to learn second language is very important.

brown markings. It had big, floppy ears.

Sam go for her school and the dog followed her. Sam shut the gate so that the dog could not get in. She said "Good bye." to the dog. Children were studying at their class room, they hear the bark of dog. Everyone upset and they found the dog was outside the window. "There is a dog in the school," the children shouted. A man who is a teacher tried to catch it. The teacher went outside and Mystery ran away. The children helped him to catch it. They chased the dog in the playground. Mystery looked happily. The dog ran from one classroom to another, barking and jumping and wagging its tail. Finally, Mystery ran into a cupboard. A teacher shut the door. When the teacher opened the door quietly, there was a dog which had upset all the paint. It was not black and brown any more. He was red and blue and green and yellow. A head teacher had seen the dog before at the pub, so she took it back. The people at the pub were glad to get their dog back. His true name was "Trouble!" I think that the dog makes some trouble, but it is very cute. The dog which I had was vigor like "Trouble". If you have the time to read. Please read this book.
