*WALL-E*
I thought that the movie was made for little kids, but it was interesting. In the 29th century earth, there is no people and there are all rubbish. The earth is garbage dump.
WALL-E lives in the earth and searching toys and collect them.
The main story, WALL-E falls in love with EVE; the future machine, but the movie is set in the future earth, it tells us that we make litter everyday, and the whole earth would be garbage dump, or would be reclaimed ground.
Too much high technology will make us lazy. The people in the movie cannot do anything without machines. I don't want to be like that.
*Chat bots*
Chat bots was interesting, too. That was more intelligent than I thought, sometimes they give funny answer though.

Priority Seats -essay-
I got pregnant when I was busy job hunting. When I found it out, I had to think lots of things because I wasn't ready for a baby as I was stil young. It's really early to have a baby and I was worried if I could be a good mother. You have to take responsibilities, and you can't abandon even if you get tired of child care. When I was 8 weeks pregnant, I found out that I was having twins. It surprised me and actually I am shocked, but finally I've decided to get marry and keep the twins.
Pregnancy life had begun since then. I had to go to school 4 days a week until july to get the rest of my credits to graduate. I chose afternoon classes so that I didn't have to get on rush hour trains. Luckily I didn't have heavy morning sickness but throughout the pregnancy term, I always felt tired and lazy, and my stomach got bigger fast as twins grow, so I began to use priority seats on trains.
I hardly used priority seats until I get pregnant, but I noticed some things. What I've found there, was I couldn't sit on priority seats when I wanted to use it. Many non-disabled people were using priority seats as if these were not priority seats, and even if they noticed that I was pregnant, they just ignored. People just sleep or pretend not to notice that I'm pregnant. Of course many people gave me seats, but when I look around, I found that many old people couldn't sit on the seats either. It was sad that the priority seats were actually not existing to who really want to use.
I didn't know how it is tough to keep a baby in your stomach. Pregnant women look healthy but it is our misunderstood. I shall be kind to them, and when you find a pregnant woman, I hope you will give your seat for her.

Communicating In Japan -essay-
Many foreign customers come to my work place, and I have a question about the languages they speak.
I work at a Japanese pub in Akasaka-mitsuke. That area is an office place, so I rarely see young people. Many foreigners work in Akasaka-mitsuke. Also foreign customers often come to drink at my pub. Mostly they come with Japanese co-workers, or friends.
Now, what language do you think they are talking in: English, or Japanese? I think most people would answer that they are talking in English, because if I were asked this question, of course I would say “English”. The answer is English. Approximately ninety percent of foreign customers talk in English, and also Japanese customers speak English with them.
When I found out, I wondered why they spoke English. Maybe at their work they usually talk in English, or sightseeing people may not understand Japanese, so Japanese need to use English. However, I think at least people who are working in Japan should understand Japanese, because they live in Japan, and to live here they need to understand this language. However, most people talk to me in English. When they come to the pub entrance, they say to me, “I have a reservation, or Are there any seats spare?” Of course they don’t even know if I speak English, but they don’t speak Japanese. As for me, I usually don’t talk to foreign customers in English, because I don’t think I need to use English. Only when they don’t understand Japanese, I speak English. Sadly most foreign customers don’t understand Japanese, and some people use Japanese, but it’s rare.
However, there may have some reasons why they don’t speak Japanese though they live in Japan. People who work here may have some help from their companies so that they don’t need to use Japanese. They may have lots of friends who speak English helping with them their private lives, or even if they want to speak Japanese, they may not have an opportunity to study Japanese.
Don’t you think they need to understand Japanese? Do you think we should speak English? In my opinion, as a Japanese, I want to speak Japanese, because it is not an English-speaking country. English is a world language, and we need to use English when we talk to people from all over the world, but in this situation, I don’t think I need to use English. That’s why I want them to understand at least a little bit of Japanese as long as they live in Japan, and I want to communicate with them in Japanese.

Holiday ends
School starts again from this Friday.
I went to Shibuya with my friend, Nozomi, and I had a great day. It's been a while I go shopping there, I sometimes went shopping in shibuya when I was a high school student, but now I usually go there just to get CDs at HMV, at times I go clubbing but I don't go shopping or walk around there, because I don't like crowded places like Shibuya.
I went there to get a new CD today as well. I thought I would go there alone at first, but Nozomi didn't have any plan for today so I hung out with her. We walked around, went shopping, and it was so much fun! And I like it there now! lol Something in my mind the feeling has changed. I still don't like the crossing in front of the station though.
It was great anyway. I had fun.
I've got Travis new album, The boy with no name.
It's so nice!

Recent music
I listen to music at any time. I like almost any kind of music, but especially I like dance, trance, rock(not too loud) music. I've got the CD about a month ago, and it is my recent favorite music. She used to be a member of Sugababes, so this is her first solo album. Her song is mainly R&B, but also it includes pop and dance.
Well this weekend I had to finish some assignment, luckily the weather was not good, so I concentrared on it. I went to the beach today though. I just strolled. But I need to protect from suntan cos I tan quickly, and I go to Okinawa this summer.
I wanna get a new MP3!!!

Future
About my future.
I want to live in a foreign country, I think I will go to the UK or Australia.
Cos I want to speak English fluently, and wanna learn UK accent. That's why I choose these two countries.
I have ever been to Australia, and I like it there. I haven't been to the UK, but I am interested in European histories, cultures, etc.
Well I have some more reasons I wanna go abroad, but I stop writing about it now. I think I will write later.
In this class, I wanna improve all kinds of English skills. Especially Speaking/Listening skills.
I've got a TOEIC result yesterday, and it was 665. I hope to get more than 730 before I graduate.
