My plan of winter vacation*:)
I think I want to enjoy relaxing with my family. I am planning to return to my family home on December 26. I would like to eat much food! I want to eat “Osechi” and rice cake. I like rice cake very much. Also I like “Kurikinton” best of all osechi. Every year I make this. I enjoy making it with my sister. It is hard to crush the chestnut.
Also I am look forward to seeing New Year’s card and get New Year’s gift! Many friends give me New Year’s card and many people give me New Year’s gift every year. Anyway I should like to do something useful with winter vacation.
Setsubun:)
I would like to introduce about “Setsubun”. People in Japan celebrate he end of winter and beginning of spring on February 3. Family members throw beans in front of their house and inside the house and shouting, “Good luck in! Evil spirits out!” After that they eat the beans for each year of their age. Also we eat “Ehoumaki” It is the “Temakizushi” It is very big, bad delicious. While eating this we must not talk. It is important culture.
Comparing co-educational schools and single-sex schools.
There are single-sex schools and co-educational schools. Each has advantages. Single-sex schools have a lot in common with classmate. Your topic of conversation, value system and ways of thinking will similar. You can have a conversation freely in the class. Also you can concentrate on study, club activities and so on. In contrast you can encounter more many ways of thinking in co-educational. You will learn how to talk with the opposite sex, how to treat the opposite sex and cooperate with the opposite sex. There are some of the differences between single-sex schools and co-educational schools. We should carefully consider the merits and demerits of each when we choose the school.

Paper swapping
Sometimes the teacher want to know the results of a quiz, he or she tell the student to swap their papers. This way of paper swapping is general in many schools. However, there are proponents and opponents with regard to this issue. It is mainly teacher that proponents of paper swapping. They think the quickest way to check student’s results. The teacher can save time. The proponents say that this practice stimulates students. On the other hand opponents think that student’s privacy should protect. A certain student doesn’t want his classmate to know own results. Thus, there are proponents and opponents with regard to this issue. We should be careful in deciding which stance to choose.
Should children have their own cell phones?
The children who have a cell phone has been increasing recently. According to Benesse research as the school year goes up, the possession rate of the cell phone goes up. There are parents who say I am relieved that let children get hold of cell phone. That may be right, but I have a different opinion. First, it is dangerous for children to get hold of cell phone. That’s reason why for example, parents are put too much confidence. Even though it is safe if the power supply, shut off, it is just machine. Second is influence of electromagnetic wave. According to babycom ecology the resident organization in Britain is worried that electromagnetic wave is sent out from cell phone influence child’s head. Children who are period of growth has possibility that reacted more sensitive than adults. These are the reasons why I support the opinion that children shouldn’t have a cell phone.
I feel pressured!!{{{p(●`□´●)q}}}
I feel pressured when I was interfere. I hate to have people meddle in my affairs. I understand that they worry about me but I don’t feel good. When I was high school student, I feel pressured very much, so I often absent school. That’s reason why, I couldn’t get along with my friends, parents and teacher. I went to hospital, and then the doctor said “Because of the stress”. Now the way of radiation stress is I go to karaoke, go out with my friends and I eat appetizing dishes. I don’t want to feel pressured as much as possible.
Explain the experiment conducted by Pavlov.
Human beings have the ability to learn.Then has the dog also this ability? To answer this question, Pavlov performed interesting experiment by using his dog. In this experiment, whenever food is put before the dog, a bell is rung. Pavlov continued this for a week. One day, after several weeks, a bell is rung but food isn’t put before the dog. A bell is rung but the dog began to salivate. When a bell is rung the dog thought dinner time. The results showed clearly that dog has the ability to learn.

*Lyrics*
Sha… Sha… Sha
I probably shouldn’t say this
But at times I get so scared
When I think about the previous
Relationship we shared
It was awesome but we lost it
It’s not possible for me
Not to care
And now we’re standing in the rain
But nothing’s gonna change
Until you hear
My dear… The 7 things i hate about you!
The 7 things I hate about you
Ohhh you!
Your pain
Your games
Your insecure
You love me, you like her
You made me laugh
You made me cry
I don’t know which side to buy
Your friends, they’re jerks
When you hang like them
Just to know it hurts
I wanna be with the one I know
And the 7th thing, I hate the most that you do
You make me love you
It’s awkward and silent
As I wait for you to say
What I need to hear now
Your sincere apology
When you mean it
I’ll believe it
If you text it
I’ll delete it
Let’s be clear
Oh I’m not coming back
Your taking 7 steps here
The 7 things I hate about you
Your pain
Your games
Your insecure
You love me, you like her
You made me laugh
You made me cry
I don’t know which side to buy
Your friends, they’re jerks
When you hang like them
Just to know it hurts
I wanna be with the one I know
And the 7th thing, I hate the most that you do
You make me love you
And compared to all the great things
That will take to long to write
I probably should mention
The 7 that I like
The 7 things I like about you!
Your hair
Your eyes
Your old levi’s
When we kiss I memotize
You made me laugh
You made me cry
But I guess that’s both I’ll have to buy
Your hands in mine
When we’re in a twine
Everything’s alright!
I wanna be with the one I know
And the 7th thing I like the most that you do oh!
You make me love you
Sha.. Sha.. Sha (You doo ohh)
