TV in Japan
TV in Japan
TV is very important for us. TV has high technology, TV has many programs, TV is influential with us. I will introduce about TV.
Technology
Analog color television broadcast: It is broadcasted from 1953. It is going to be gone off the air on July 24, 2011.
Terrestrial digital television broadcast: It started broadcast on December 1, 2003. All television becomes the terrestrial digital broadcast by 2011. We must change the television which terrestrial digital broadcasting. If you use the television which supports only analog broadcasting, you have to connect a new tuner.
A thin-screen TV: It is the television which used flat-panel display. The former television used a cathode-ray tube. However, depth becomes big as television becomes the big screen. It has a lot of good points. For example, we can put this thin-screen in any kind of place. It has low consumption electricity. It is longer life.
Programs
There are many programs on TV. For example, there are music program, news program, animation, entertainment, and so on. My favorite TV is Cartoon Net Work. It is an animation channel in America. It is broadcasted only cartoon. The broadcast was started in 1997 in Japan. My favorite works are Dexter's Laboratory(upper left photograph), The Powerpuff Girls(upper right photograph) The animation is so interesting!! Many Japanese animations were broadcasted in Cartoon Net Work. For example, ‘Attack NO.1’ and ‘Anpanman’ was broadcasted.
Influence on people
TV gives us very big influence. There are good influence and bad influence. TV produces much trend. Some people change the mind, because they are influenced by an entertainer appearing on television. TV changes a sense for the right and wrong and outlook on ethic, outlook on verge of death. Girls imitate the fashion of a talent appearing on TV.
The recent child has too much time to spend it on video game. What kind of influence on child is there? If a child watches the television which there is a lot of violence scene, it is too dangerous. The child may not think that violence is bad. I think that the influence that television gives to a child is very big.

Conclusion
People like watching TV. I like watching TV, too. TV is very important for us. We are always watching TV. TV has a various influence on us. Japanese watch TV for 4 hours in a day. On Sunday, they watch TV more than 5 hours in a day. It is average. Don’t you think it is too much time? TV gives us many things. We get much information from TV, TV makes us interesting. But, I think people spend too much time for watching TV. I think I have to study, go out, and do something instead of watching TV. The development of the television will be pushed forward steadily. Television may become more and more important for us. But we must be careful to watching too much television.

The O C
Have you ever watched the O C ? I like this drama!!ﾟ.+:｡(*≧∇≦*)ﾟ.+:｡ It is very interesting drama. The OC is drama which was made in America.
The stage of this drama is California, Orange Country. There is an idyllic paradise, a wealthy, harbor-front community where everything and everyone appears to be perfect. A boy name is Ryan, he is very poor boy. He is troubled teenager from Chino. He moves to the O.C. when Sandy Cohen, an idealistic pro-bono public defender, invites him to stay in his guest house. Sandy's wife, Kirsten, wealthy and beautiful, former homecoming queen, perfect spouse, mother, and business woman, isn't happy that Ryan has moved in. And she's worried about how it will affect their teenage son Seth, a soulful dreamer ostracized by his peers. Making the whole situation more interesting is Marissa Cooper, the heartbreakingly beautiful girl next door who seems to glide through life effortlessly. Finally, Ryan and Marissa fall in love.
The O.C. is a story of fathers and sons, husbands and wives, and the coming of age of three young people. Ryan's arrival is the catalyst for new alliances forged, old flames rekindled, and unlikely friendships born.

Book Review 2-10★Animal in danger
I read the book 'Animal in Danger'.
Every year some species of animal disappear. We never see them again.
Why are the animals in danger??
Long long ago, there were a lot more species of animal than there are now. Some animals die because of small changes in the weather. And most animals are in danger from our behaviour. We can't protect animals. We put new buildings on empty land and don't think about animals. We make new roads, we move rivers, we take away trees. some people hunt and kill animals. They don't kill the animals for food, because they like hunting!!Elephant die because people want ivory. Rhinoceros die because people want to buy their horns. Some people make a lot of money from animals. Whales are also in danger from hunting. Now, most countries stopped hunting a number of years ago, but it is difficult to waych ships and protect animals.
What can I do??
We can stop animals dying. Everyone can do thing in a small way. For example we ride bicycle instead of car, please stop wearing the leopard skin coat. A coat from a dead animal isn't beautiful. Don't you think so?? I think everyone have to do something for animals. If there are not animals in the world, we can't live. Animals is so important. We should think about animal in danger!!

Book review 2-06★Titanic
I read ' Titanic' this week. I watched movie 'Titanic' before.
The Titanic was the most famous ship in history. It was gogeous ship. 15000 people made the titanic. They made it in 1912 in Balfast, Northern Ireland. It was the biggest ship in the world. it was 24900 tons, 265 metres lonf, and 28 metres across. It could go at 46 kilometers an hour,, so it was one of the fastest ship in the world, too. Thomos Andrew was the designer of the Titanic. He was first class passengers. He talked ' Titanic is very safe, this ship can never sink'.
Is it true??...
On the night of 14 April the sea was Quiet. The weather was goode, but it was so cold. Then, two sailors looked out at the sky. Sailor saw something in the front of the ship. It was so big. It was iceberg!! It was not far away!! He called officer, and said about it. The iceberg came nearerand nearer. The iceberg hits the ships!!
Andreaw understood about this crisis, and said ' The ship is going to sink'. the captain made the emergency message. But Nobody was listening. There was nothing to help Titanic....
The Titanic had twenty life boats. These life boats could carry 1,178 people, but there were 2207 people on the ship. Harf of the people, there was no lifeboat.
First, women and children went to lifeboat. So men have to wait on the ship. Woman parted with her hasband, child parted thier father. It was so sad story. There were first class, second class, third class passengers on the ship. Almost Third passender couldn't get the life boat.
The Titanic gradually went to sink.
Finally more than one thousand peoole died. Why was it become the result? The life boat could take 60 people. but, someome life boats didn't take many people. One boat taked only 12 peoples. And some empty life boats didn't go to help. They only watched the person who is drowned. Only one boat went back to people in the water, but itwas too late. Nearly everyone was dead in the cold water.
I think every lifeboats have to go back to help. Returned to help only one boat. It is too terrible.

On the night of 14 April the sea was Quiet. The weather was goode, but it was so cold. Then, two sailors looked out at the sky. Sailor saw something in the front of the ship. It was so big. It was iceberg!! It was not far away!! He called officer, and said about it. The iceberg came nearerand nearer. The iceberg hits the ships!!
Andreaw understood about this crisis, and said ' The ship is going to sink'. the captain made the emergency message. But Nobody was listening. There was nothing to help Titanic....
The Titanic had twenty life boats. These life boats could carry 1,178 people, but there were 2207 people on the ship. Harf of the people, there was no lifeboat.
First, women and children went to lifeboat. So men have to wait on the ship. Woman parted with her hasband, child parted thier father. It was so sad story. There were first class, second class, third class passengers on the ship. Almost Third passender couldn't get the life boat.
The Titanic gradually went to sink.
Finally more than one thousand peoole died. Why was it become the result? The life boat could take 60 people. but, someome life boats didn't take many people. One boat taked only 12 peoples. And some empty life boats didn't go to help. They only watched the person who is drowned. Only one boat went back to people in the water, but itwas too late. Nearly everyone was dead in the cold water.
I think every lifeboats have to go back to help. Returned to help only one boat. It is too terrible.
