1.What did you learn in this class this semester?

I could learn how to check much information. I don’t like to check. But, this blog is seen by many people. so, I have to tell true things and true information.

February 1st, 2008

1.Watch the Powerpoint presentation. Write a summary of the key points (in Japanese or English) on your blog.

私はよくタイトルを書くのをよく忘れるし、スペルもよく間違える。しかしそれはしてはいけないことだ。
「インターネットの翻訳機能を使わない」「自分の言葉で書く」「ワードを使う」ということはとても大切である。そしてブログを見に来る人にも失礼である。

2.What is the purpose, objective, of a newspaper company?

I think that the newspaper companies want to inform of many news and interesting events us. They can get money by delivering newspaper every day.


3.What is the purpose, objective, of a television company?

I think that Television Company want to see many immolations us every day.
And they want to advertise many goods. Because they can get money. In a TV commercial advertise many good. We see it and will buy goods. I should think that the company has such purpose.


4.What is the purpose, objective of Yahoo! or Google?

I think that Yahoo! or Google want to inform us much information. Now we can buy many goods on internet. Moreover, we can put a thing up at auction and bid a thing at auction. Yahoo! or Google want to use the system more people. But, we cost money by using our computer. They gave us much information but we are used money by Yahoo! or Google.

5.The purpose of all the above is to make money. That is the purpose of all these businesses. How do they make money? By getting as many readers or viewers (”eyeballs”) as possible. If their purpose is to get as many readers or viewers or “eyeballs” as possible, then what kind of news will they publish? Give 2 or 3 examples. What kind of news will they not publish? Give 2 or 3 examples.

They will publish→sports, happy news(someone marry him or her)
They will not publish→politics and scandal

6.Find a news article in English that interests you, and write about it on your blog. Write a summary of the article, then your thoughts about it, and any interesting English words or expressions or grammar you learned from reading this.

For example, The Golden Compass.

1.Look at this photo and answer the questions

1.Where was this photo taken?
2.When was it taken?
3.What does the caption say under the photo?
4.Translate the caption into Japanese.
5.“Crowds cheer” = how many people, do you think?

①BAGHDAD, Iraq
②Wednesday, April 9, 2003
③Crowds cheer as a statue of Saddam Hussein falls.
Many people who lived in Baghdad(Iraq) fall a statute (Saddam Hussein).
④民衆がアダム・フセインの銅像を下ろして、歓声をあげている。
⑤Most people who live in the town
I think crowds are 30,000 people.

2.①I think people are 20,000.
②No, I don’t. I think that I fall the statue, and there are a happy person and a sad person.
③I thought the people work together and they fall the statue.
So, I think it can’t be helped even if this case happens.
④I think we can understand the picture easily.
Because we look the picture and we can understand that square is how large.
And I understand what there is where.
⑤I saw the pictures and could understand that it was bad event.
If I was the place then, I would run away from there.
I don’t want to happen same event in Japan.

3.I think it’s not bad for newspaper to lie sometimes.
If newspaper lies to us, we can’t believe anything information!!

4.I will check on Internet.
And I will listen to many people opinion.
And I will read different newspapers.

Vol.57 No.52
I read this article "Monks, nuns hold fashion show". When my family and my friend died, I go to the temple. The temple was a place just for funerals. But it was mistake!! Many monks and nuns hold fashion show. Of course, their fashion was “kesa (a surplice or robe worn by Buddhist priests)”. THE show started with a rap version of a Buddhist sutra. Why did they do such fashion show? Because they want to show the young people that Buddhism is cool. I thought that they were hard to approach. But, when I read this article, I was interested temples and Buddhism a little.

I think that key points of this news are “injustice”. Because police are not good for nation. For example, it is to hit us.

5.I think that American people have many breaks. But, American people thought that they did not use breaks effectively. If Japanese have breaks, they will spend slowly in their house.So, it is very enviable.
