Summary & Questions of 4/28
Svendson, Alice. "Season It With Haiku." TESOL Journal 1138. Print.
Written Summary:
Most of the teachers of ESL/EFL may think that teaching poetry is for advanced levels, writing classes, or literature courses. However, a poem stile called haiku is appropriate for students of many levels and from teens to adults. Haiku can also be used to focus on the season, and is an easy and enjoyable way for students to be expressive and creative.
It is true that traditional haiku is difficult to read and write. However, explaining haiku isn’t too difficult. Haiku is a form of poetry that is short, three lines that forms of lines that forms a 5-7-5 syllable, contains words related to natures or seasons, and conveys an emotion of a particular moment. In addition, you should avoid using the past tense and the ‘be’ verb.
When the instructors introduce haiku to the class, they can do it by using posters, blackboards, overhead transparencies - what we call “OHP” in Japanese-English - or even by Microsoft PowerPoint. In addition, if time permits, teachers can allow the students to read one another’s haiku.
Writer says that writing haiku is a very peaceful and reflective experience. Also, it allows them to discover the creative poet within and helps build self-confidence.
Questions:
1: Have you ever written haiku in English? If yes, when was it? If no, do you want to?
2: Have you ever read a haiku written in English? If yes, do you remember the name of that poem and the poet? Have you ever read his/her haiku in Japanese? If no, do you want to read it in English? Why? / Why not?
3: If you are a teacher of English in Japan, will you do this lesson? Why or Why not?
4: Do you agree with the writer’s opinion? Why? / Why not?

Does Somebody Knows・・・？
In Japanese language, there are something called jyosu-si（助数詞）.
For example, Japanese speakers uses dai（台）when counting cars, hon(本)when we count pens, etc. These are what is called jyosu-si.
One day, when I was talking to my friend who loves Godzilla films, he asked me "Hey, do you have any idea how to count King Ghidora?" I couldn't answer it.
That is why I want to ask all of the readers of this blog. Does somebody knows how to count King Ghidora?
If you have any ideas about it, please write it in comments.
Thank you!!
BTW, if you don't know King Ghidora, check these.

Good Points
- It was really fun that to know it was VERY EASY to make a blog of myself. I thought I had to tipe in a lot of information about myself, and I REALLY HATE to type in such things!!
- In adittion, It was reallly fun to watch "Sprited Away". I always wanted to see Japanese Movies in English, but sadly, my DVD-player wasn't multi-play.
- Words note made me much more easyer to study new words and prases.
- Film making was really fun!!
What you can do to make it bettter…
- Due date should be reviewed not only by blog but also in class. Therefore, students can double-check it.
Finally, Thank you for wonderful lesson! I hope to see you in campus, and I will continue blogging… Maybe I should make Japanese version of this in order to make more people to read.

IE-3W Final Draft "Should Hunting Be Banned?"
Final Draft
Katsuki Fujiuchi
Should Hunting Be Banned?
Today, there are lots of opinions about hunting animals. For example, some say that people shouldn’t hunt animals to protect animals and the nature. They also say that hunting is a way to get weapons easily, and these weapons cause accidents such as murder. But, hunting helps people’s life in many ways, from the Stone Age to Today. Should hunting really have to be banned? As written on this paper, hunting helps people life. At present, hunting should not be banned, but hunters should know some about the dangers of hunting.
Many things have good points and bad points, and so does hunting. Firstly, some hunters use their hunting tools not for hunting but as to kill people. On December 14, 2007, a hunter in Sasebo, Nagasaki killed two people and injured six by using his gun. Even though the article of The Kobe Shimbun Japanese version says “The behavior of the man was unusual since he got the license of holding guns.”, this kind of accident – a man who got a gun legally using it for killing people – had not happened in Japan before, and because this accident was very shocking, some people say that hunting should be banned.
Next, metals - especially lead - used in the bullets harm nature. For example, hunters use bullets that are made of lead when they hunt deer. Usually, that wouldn’t be a problem, but it becomes a problem when they leave the part that the bullets hit at the hunting place. Japanese version of Wikipedia says “If birds eat that, they –especially eagles –get lead poisoning.”
A third thing is the problem about protecting animals. If the human race kills faster than animals born, it will die out. Dying out is the worst thing, and it is also true that nature balance will be damaged. If nature balance was damaged, than it causes serious problems to the Earth.
There are good parts about hunting, however. For example, some animals – such as bears and deer ― eat farm products. Therefore, food that people eat will be damaged. To protect from animals, hunting is one way.
Secondly, some animals harm human beings. Bears are good example. To protect people from these kinds of animals, one way is to hunt and decrease the number of them. Also, people get a lot of things from animals. For example, humans eat meat – pork, beef, chicken, fish etc – as a meal, plus, their fur is used in what humans wear.
Taking these reasons into consideration, it is bad to ban hunting. However, hunters must know the dangerous part of hunting. Also, people should know that man-made things such as bullets can change nature rapidly.

Should Hunting Be Banned?
Today, there are lots of opinions about hunting animals. For example, some say that people shouldn’t hunt animals to protect animals and the nature. They also say that hunting is a way to get weapons easily, and these weapons cause accidents such as murder. But, hunting helps people’s life in many ways, from the Stone Age to Today. Should hunting really have to be banned? As written on this paper, hunting helps people life. At present, hunting should not be banned, but hunters should know some about the dangers of hunting.
Many things have good points and bad points, and so does hunting. Firstly, some hunters use their hunting tools not for hunting but as to kill people. On December 14, 2007, a hunter in Sasebo, Nagasaki killed two people and injured six by using his gun. Even though the article of The Kobe Shimbun Japanese version says “The behavior of the man was unusual since he got the license of holding guns.”, this kind of accident – a man who got a gun legally using it for killing people – had not happened in Japan before, and because this accident was very shocking, some people say that hunting should be banned.
Next, metals - especially lead - used in the bullets harm nature. For example, hunters use bullets that are made of lead when they hunt deer. Usually, that wouldn’t be a problem, but it becomes a problem when they leave the part that the bullets hit at the hunting place. Japanese version of Wikipedia says “If birds eat that, they –especially eagles –get lead poisoning.”
A third thing is the problem about protecting animals. If the human race kills faster than animals born, it will die out. Dying out is the worst thing, and it is also true that nature balance will be damaged. If nature balance was damaged, than it causes serious problems to the Earth.
There are good parts about hunting, however. For example, some animals – such as bears and deer ― eat farm products. Therefore, food that people eat will be damaged. To protect from animals, hunting is one way.

Sightseeing Spots in Asahikawa
Asahikawa, the city which is located in Hokkaido has a lot of sightseeing spots. Since this town was founded in 1890, this city has been developing as a city which anyone is able to enjoy. I will explain some of it.
Probably one of the most famous sightseeing spot is Asahiyama zoo. This zoo is located in the northernmost of Japan, and it was opened in 1967. Asahiyama zoo became famous because of its way how they exhibit their animals. Although most zoos have its main animals (for example, giant panda in Ueno zoo or koala in Higasiyama zoo in Nagoya) this zoo’s main animals are animals which are in this zoo. For example, they show how penguins swim in the water from under the penguins, how polar bears dives into the water, and etc.
For boys and girls who like literature, I want to recommend Ayako Miura literature museum. She is a writer who writes about her Christian religious life and is from Asahikawa. Located in Mihonrin forest which is one of the most important setting place in her novel Hyouten, this museum explains about her works, its base story and her life.
Not only Mihonrin forest, this city has a lot of nature. Asahikawa is surrounded by the Taisetsuzan mountain range, and it has two big parks which has a forest. These parks are relaxation spots for residents of Asahikawa. Also, this city has many rivers. The biggest four are the Isikari river, the Cyubetsu river, the Biei river, and the Usyubetsu river. Water from these rivers is used to make foods, sweets, or used as agricultural use, such as to make rice.
Besides from spots I wrote here, there are many places which are great to visit. Any people ~ from old to young, men and women~ can enjoy this city. Why don’t you come and visit some of these?

Analysis of TV Channels in Tokyo
TVs are one of the things that give us a lot of information and entertain us. On this paper, I want to tell about the TV channels, or in another word, TV broadcasting companies.
In Japan, however, there are many TV broadcasting companies such as CATV or many local TV broadcasting companies. If I wrote all of those companies, it takes too long. Because of this reason, I’ll write about TV broadcasting companies in Tokyo, not including CATV.
First broadcasting company is NHK, but to tell the truth, this is not a company. It is a public broadcasting station like BBC in United Kingdom. This station started radio broadcasting in Tokyo in 1925, started TV broadcasting which is now called NHK general in 1953, FM radio broadcasting in 1957, and NHK-education TV in 1959. NHK is paid for by receiving fees. The Broadcast Law provides that any person who has a TV set that can watch NHK broadcasting shall conclude a contract with NHK, and that NHK's annual budget shall be said it is acceptable by the Diet.
Secondly, I’ll write about Nippon Television. Nippon Television - or Nippon Television Network Corporation - is a TV company which stated broadcasting in August 28, 1953. This company is the oldest TV broadcasting company in Japan. The main office and main studio is located at Siodome area of Tokyo. Also, this company has connections with Studio Ghibli, led by Hayao Miyazaki, and holds the exclusive rights to broadcast their animation movies.
Thirdly, I’ll write about TBS. TBS or Tokyo Broadcasting System ,Inc is a company which stated broadcasting in 1955. This company is called as “Video Dramas’ TBS” because they make many kinds of dramas. Also it is known as a TV broadcasting company which broadcasts Kagayaku Nippon Record Taishou, or Japan Record Award in English as a TV program of the New Year’s Eve. This network is also a home to the many Ultraman series.
Next is Fuji TV. Fuji TV, or Fuji Television Network, Inc. is a TV station which started broadcasting in 1959. This company is also known as its dramas, and they are called “getsu-ku” because of the stating time – 21:00 on Monday – or the special dramas such as Furuhata Ninzaburo series.
There is another TV broadcasting company called TV Asahi. This company was founded as NET in 1957 and started broadcasting in 1959. This company is famous of its news programs such as Houdou Station, Super J Channel and Wide! Scramble.
Finally, I’ll write about TV Tokyo. This company is opened in 1964. Their strong point is the animation programs, and economics programs. They broadcast animations not only in prime time for the kids but also late-night for hard-core nerds. For example, Neon Genesis Evangelion, Naruto, and Pokemon series.
As I wrote here, there are a lot of TV channels you can watch in Tokyo. Each companies has its own strong points. Which channel will you watch when you watch TV next time?

Types Of Computer Software-Final Draft-
Final Draft
Katsuki Fujiuchi
Types Of Computer Software
A computer is one of the machines used by many people of many ages all over the world. Since computers are developing even today because of the opinions about what users want, there are many types of software sold by many companies. In addition, each type is very distinctive and has originality. Therefore, it is getting harder and harder to put them into one word “Computer Software.” Computer software can be classified on the basis of the purposes of use.
The first one is used for typing. These are called “Word Processing Software.” Microsoft Word is one of the famous things, but in Japan Ichitaro is also used. What are the differences between them? Microsoft word was first sold in May 1987 as Multi-tool Word. That was used all over the world, but it had problems when typing Japanese sentences. The reason is because Japanese is often written vertically, and the language which is used in the place where that company was located – that is the United States and the language is English – is not written vertically. Ichitaro, however, is produced in a company which is located in Japan and called Just Systems as software used in their word processor.
Another type of software is good at doing calculations. One of it is called Spreadsheet, and probably the most famous one is Microsoft Excel. This can do many calculations, and in addition, it is also good at making charts and graphs. However, the Japanese version has problems about memorizing dates. The Japanese version of Wikipedia said “If you type 01.09.18 by using after 2000 edition of it, it will memorize as September 18, 2001. However, if you type the same thing by using 98 edition and the ones sold before that, it will be memorized as September 18, 1989 because that date is September 18 of the first year of Heisei.”
The last one is for making data for presentations. That is called Presentation software, and one of it is Microsoft Power Point. This can put in words, pictures, graphs and more. However, some people do not feel good about relying on it. It is a waste of resource, says Katsuaki Watanabe, President of Toyota Motors.
There is a large amount of Computer software. All these types written on this paper are just some of it. Users should decide which one to use depending on their needs. Also, they must think about resources and if he or she can reduce it by using another type of software, they should do so.

“Hokkaido Bank Produces 100-Million-Yen Lottery Winners Again This Year.” The Hokkaido Shimbun Press 8 January 2009
http://www.hokkaido-np.co.jp/news/english/139439.html?_nva=40
Written Summary:
According to this article, The Hokkaido Bank announced on the 7th that its popular fixed deposit accounts that come complete with Year-end Jumbo Lottery tickets have produced 100-million-yen in prizewinning tickets. This is the third consecutive occasion that the fixed deposit accounts have produced prizewinning tickets worth 100 million yen or more, with a total of 300 million yen in prize-money in the 2007 Year-end Jumbo Lottery and another 300 million yen in the 2008 Summer Jumbo Lottery.
A batch of ten consecutive Year-end or Summer Jumbo Lottery tickets for every 2 million yen deposited into the account are sent to the account holders’ homes when the account matures (currently a 5-year period). This time approximately 687,000 tickets worth a total of 206 million yen were sent.
According to the Hokkaido Bank, the accounts produced one 3rd-prize ticket (5 million yen), forty-six 4th-prize tickets (100,000 yen) and seven tickets with 1st-prize numbers but with different group numbers (100,000 yen). There were also four winners of the Thanksgiving Prize (1 million yen), which was established to commemorate the Year-end Jumbo Lottery ’s 30th anniversary.
Hokkaido Bank is surprised that there are probably no other cases in which multi-millionaires have been produced on three consecutive occasions. The bank is calling for account holders to check their lottery ticket numbers.
Opinion Statements:
I think it is a very unique idea to give a lottery for their customer. Maybe I’ll change my bank account because the bank which I use is inconvenient in my hometown.
Questions:
1. Have you ever won a lottery? How many times?
2. Which bank do you use often?

“Hokkaido Bank Produces 100-Million-Yen Lottery Winners Again This Year.” The Hokkaido Shimbun Press 8 January 2009
http://www.hokkaido-np.co.jp/news/english/139439.html?_nva=40
Written Summary:
According to this article, The Hokkaido Bank announced on the 7th that its popular fixed deposit accounts that come complete with Year-end Jumbo Lottery tickets have produced 100-million-yen in prizewinning tickets. This is the third consecutive occasion that the fixed deposit accounts have produced prizewinning tickets worth 100 million yen or more, with a total of 300 million yen in prize-money in the 2007 Year-end Jumbo Lottery and another 300 million yen in the 2008 Summer Jumbo Lottery.
A batch of ten consecutive Year-end or Summer Jumbo Lottery tickets for every 2 million yen deposited into the account are sent to the account holders’ homes when the account matures (currently a 5-year period). This time approximately 687,000 tickets worth a total of 206 million yen were sent.
According to the Hokkaido Bank, the accounts produced one 3rd-prize ticket (5 million yen), forty-six 4th-prize tickets (100,000 yen) and seven tickets with 1st-prize numbers but with different group numbers (100,000 yen). There were also four winners of the Thanksgiving Prize (1 million yen), which was established to commemorate the Year-end Jumbo Lottery ’s 30th anniversary.
Hokkaido Bank is surprised that there are probably no other cases in which multi-millionaires have been produced on three consecutive occasions. The bank is calling for account holders to check their lottery ticket numbers.
Opinion Statements:
I think it is a very unique idea to give a lottery for their customer. Maybe I’ll change my bank account because the bank which I use is inconvenient in my hometown.
Questions:
1. Have you ever won a lottery? How many times?
2. Which bank do you use often?
3. What kind of lottery do you like the best?

Responding to the plot:
If I were a character in the story, -for example, Tess- I can’t live like her. I think I would not go to such a far place. In addition, if I were Alec, I won’t chase Tess as that much. This answer will be the same answer as the question, “If I was the author, what would you done differently?”
In page 118, where Tess gets death penalty by killing Alec, she says “I am ready.” I think this word tells the pureness of Tess.
Setting:
This story took place in the United Kingdom. It starts from the end of May in the late 1880’s.
Point of view:
I think this story is told from the third person. The sentences written are like I’m watching a movie.
Conflict:
I think this is in conflict between a woman versus her environment and other people. That means Tess is fighting against Alec, and her life.
Climax:
I think the climax of this story is where Tess kills Alec. It was very shocking to me.
Symbol:
I think this story’s symbol is Tess herself. This is the stoy of her life.
Irony:
I think the most ironic part of this story is the part that Tess kills Alec. Before that, she was a pure girl.
Themes:
I think this story’s theme is “People’s Life”. I think the writer wanted to tell about that by using Tess.
Reflecting On The Story
There were two things that were shocking to me. First one was that she had to born a baby of Alec when she was 17 years old, and second is that Angel wasn’t a real “Angel”- he was just a pretender.- I found their life is different from mine. Therefore, I think that their environment is different from mine. If this turned into a film, I think that the number of the place she went will be fewer, or if I was a director of this film, I would divide this story and make it as 2 or 3 - maybe more - episodes.
I think the author wrote this because of his life. Wikipedia said that he got marry two times. I agree with the author’s view of people’s life because I think there are many pretenders around us. What I learned from this story was that people men betray women so easily. I think how I think about the male of human changed after reading this story. However, I didn’t expect that Tess will kill Alec at last.
