Movie review corrected

I watch a movie titled Forrest Gump yesterday. Before I watched that yesterday, I
had watched several times. I like the movie, so I won't get tired of watching
even I watch that tomorrow.
In the movie, one man ,whose name is Forrest Gump is featured. When
he was a child, he had difficulty walking and used braces to make
his foot move smoothly. Because of the braces, he was made fun of by his
classmates.However, sometimes something good happened to him. There was a
girl who he liked in his school. Her name is Jenny. She was always with him. When
he went to school, she went with him. She cheered him up. Though she was nice to
him, her living was not good because her father was addicted to alcohol, he got
angry for no particular reason and she got away from her house and prayed for
God in a barley field, which is the scene I want to recommend the most.
Anyway, as the story goes on, they get older and older. One day, as always when
he escaped from some classmates, he could run without the braces. Then his
life changed.If you are interested in how his life changed after that, please watch
the movie and tell me what you think about.
This movie is famous not only because of the story and characters but also a
phrase which is ‘life is like a box of chocolates. You never know what you gonna
get’. When I heard the phrase in Japanese, I was 7 and didn't even understand that
the phrase contains an image. The phrase reminds me of another phrase that I
like. That is ‘you never know what you can do till you try it.’ When I was younger, I often
gave up  on something I was interested in before I did my best because people around
me persuaded me to stop doing it. However, after I learned that phrase, I decided not
to stop doing anything before I think it’s better to stop doing it.

New Challenges in English Education in Japan (Script)

1 introduction of myself

2 There are two reasons why I’m writing about this topic. One is I’m interested in how people usually learn English and the way is effective or not. The other reason is I want to develop my English learning by getting information about good points and bad points of English education in Japan.

3 It is echoed that English is important. Why? There are many foreigners coming to Japan as workers, tourists and so on and many of them can’t speak Japanese. We, Japanese people need to speak English to communicate with them. It is sooner to get latest information in English than in Japanese

4 In English education in Japan, we usually study English for 6 years at least from 1st year in junior high school to 3rd year in high school. The length of English learning tends to lengthen by starting at earlier age, for example, from 3rd year in elementary school.

5 Japanese people have one difficulty that is we are not good at output skills. We don’t speak well and write well either. It means we have difficulty communicating with other people in English.

6 In English education in Japan, grammar is recognized one of the important things to improve our English. Because much time is spent on grammar learning, we have few opportunities to learn speaking and writing.

7 Intensive reading and extensive reading are ways that capture attention as ways to improve language skills efficiently. Intensive reading is reading a book trying to understand contents completely with a dictionary and grammar book and extensive reading is to read a lot of books without any dictionary or grammar book.

8 English is used as a tool not only to get information but also to communicate with people. As one of the solutions to improve our output skills, a new examination is being developed and the number of oral class is increasing.

9 Yukichi Fukuzawa is one of the famous people in Japanese history. His picture is printed on 10000 yen note. He is a pioneer of English learning in Japan. He learned English to get information from Europe.

10 There are factors that make English learning of Japanese people slow. There are mainly two factors. One is we are shy. The other is being afraid of making mistakes.

11 TOEIC is one of the most popular English examinations both in Japan and Korea. That is used to show English ability especially when people want to get a job. English ability is scaled from 5 to 990 points.

12 Average scores of TOEIC in Japan is lower than Korea. Now, Korean companies are developing their businesses by making full use of English in global community. With the advent of the test, Korean people’s motivation increased. This factor caused the gap of average scores between Japan and Korea.

13 There is an action recently taken in English education in elementary school. A Japanese-native teacher teach English students with ALT. This system has already existed for a long time. However, recently teachers try to make the class more enjoyable by giving students opportunities to speak English with friends and an ALT.

14 Junior high school students are taught more advanced English than English taught in elementary school. English grammar is recognized as one of the most important things students improve and much time are given to study English grammar.

15In high school, students still learn English grammar to prepare for ‘center examination’ which is used as part of entrance examinations in Japan. The test mainly treats grammar knowledge.

16Too hard too much is an expression to show the current system of English education in Japan. Even though many students have difficulty understanding words that English native children use, they are forced to learn more difficult words.

17 Learning difficult words and phrases instead of learning basic words and phrases, people will be faced with a serious problem when they talk to other people in English.

18Tickle is one of the words that English native speakers learn at an early age. Through my experience, even though I’m a third year college student and have been learning English for 9 years, I had few opportunities to make contact with the word in English education, On the contrary, there is a word that high school students should know to pass difficult entrance examination of an university. The word is euthanasia that many native speakers may not see very often

19There is a list of English vocabulary. The list of graph shows how important it is important to remember English words on the list.

Twilight corrected

This is first time to watch the movie titled Twilight, which is an American movie. It is a popular movie in Japan because characters are young men and women. 

First of all, a woman moves to a town where vampire students live. Her family seems to be poor. His father's car is a patrol car and her car is not fashionable and it is used one. On the first day of her school life in the new place, she is teased about her old-looking car. She looks like me when I moved here. When I was younger, I often moved out and in because of my fathers's job,which required employees to move around Kyushu often. When I was seven, I first moved out of Yatsushiro in Kumamoto to Wada in Kagoshima. I missed the former place so much that it took really long time to get  used to the new place. After a stay for a year in Wada, I had to move back to Kumamoto but the place was not Yatsushiro but Kikuyou which is very close to the current  house. Because of some moves, I don't have any lifelong friends.  I could get an excellent ability which is probably the most important in the modern society, which is communication skill. I don't hesitate to talk to someone new to me any more and I can talk to them in a friendly fashion. The character in this movie looks shy and doesn't seem good at talking to someone new.

I watched this movie without any subtitles so I made full use of my listening skill. That's why I didn't understand the story completely. The story begins with a woman's entrance to a new place and school. She found a man who or which is a vampire. She doesn't like him but her feelings change little by little and next story comes. There are a lot of other scenes which people can enjoy without understanding of what the characters say.

It was difficult for me to listen to every word that the characters say but I could understand the flow of the story. I want to watch the next sequel. I think those who don't study English can understand the flow of the story like me.

Drumline corrected

I watched a movie titled Drumline which is an American movie
and features a main character who has confidence in his drum skill and band of an University in America. The main character is a kind of difficult student to deal with by teachers and senior students. He likes to play the drum and is good at playing it.

The movies starts from a scene where the main character graduates from his
high school. As understandable from the scene, he is very unique. Even though
he is going to graduate from his school, he is playing the drum in the graduation
ceremony and he decides to ignore the conductor while playing and he plays
another song after he starts to make other music players play the song. The
mood in the ceremony is better as he enjoys playing the drum and smiling.

After his graduation, he goes to a university. He is faced with some problems.
One of the reasons why he is faced with some problems is because he is rude
to senior students. There are rules in the University and some of the rules are
for freshmen. As one of the rules is that freshmen have to wear white t-shirts,
they have wear them but the main character isn't wearing  white t-shirt and it
means he breaks the rule and he is recognized as a person who can't cooperate
with members and one of his senior students try to make the main character bothered.

The movie mainly features music but this movie features other aspects of university life that ordinary university university students experience. One of the things are students lifestyle. I think lifestyle in university has many aspects. In this film, the main character struggle with people to communicate. First, he doesn't try to follow rules and respect his senior students. The thing that he doesn't respect is like the personality I have and I have to change it.

Finally, this movie is so impressive that I want my friends to watch the movie even though I had thought this movie is just a music movie before I watched.

UP original

I don't like to go travelling and I think travelling is a kind of time-
consuming thing. I also think I can experience the same feeling as travelling
by watching movies. I like to watch movies. I can't often watch movies recently
though. Today,I watched a movie named Up. The title is totally different from
the Japanese version　The name of Japanese version is A Flying House of
Uncle Curl if translated in English I guess. Because of the difference, it was
difficult for me to find the name in English on the internet.

In this movie, there are two characters mainly. Two are couple. They knew each
other from young age. They had a same dream from the time when they were
children. The dream was to going to a place which is far away from their house
but they were dreaming that they can go someday. After they saw each other,
their life story goes so quickly. Even though life is usually year-long, this movie
tells their life story with just minutes. But I was moved by the scenes the most in
this film.

I often think about the future recently and I wonder I can marry, have children,
get a job. I want to escape from the real whenever I think about such things.
If I could kill myself now, I wouldn't have to do anything whatever I don't want
to do. I couldn't experience things enjoyable happening in the future though.
This movie reminded me of the memories of mine. Looking back to the when
I was younger, there were many things I didn't want to experience but there
were also many I though they were good to experience. One of my memories
I want to forget the most is my junior high school life. At that time, I couldn't
catch up with many classes expect for Physical Education　I let my parents
and teachers down. I hated myself so much. The time was the worst time I have
ever experienced and I wouldn't want to back to the time even if I could.

This movie was good movie. I want my friends to watch this movie and think
about themselves. I was happy to have watched it with a simple reason why I
watched.
