The Second Day at The Deaf School

Today is the second day and also the final day in Deaf school. Like yesterday I woke up at 5:30... I'm too sleepy and tired. Anyway let me tell you what we did today.

I visited an English class. I couldn't imagine how will the teachers teach English to the deaf students. The answer is simple, they taught by sigh language! ha ha To tell the truth they were studying by using the Japanese sigh language, fingure language and English sigh language. They were using 3 kinds of sign language. I couldn't believe it. The teacher is terrific, the ALT is incredible and the students were fabulous.

I learned many things from this class beacuse the knowledge of "hearing" and "listening" skills are very important part studying of languges. If you can't hear, you can't pronounce the words correctly. But in this class some students could pronouce English well. I though she could pronounce better than the students who can hear in normal high school. She was a bit special, she could hear than the other students so she translated us to each other.

After lunch, I went to my charged students class. She's studying to become a hair dresser. I didn't wrote about this yesterday, but I visited her class and watched her getting perm to the dummy. She let me do it but it was so hard. I was too awkward.
So today she was studying to the exam which will be held this week. The assigment was "Can she shave well?" So everyone looked at me to be the guinea pig. I said "All right" and sat on the chair which looks like a massage chair and started to shave. You may knows if your men and had been shaved by a hair dresser before, they put a steamed towel on our face and it feels so great. I became so sleepy. Sleeping during the practical act is abominable act but the teacher said "If you can sleep you can. If you can suffer from shaving knife, you may.

I didn't sleep.

Maybe.

But she did great well, it didn't hurt at all. I wish she could pass the nation test for the hair dresser and could be the hair dresser.

The first day in Deaf School

Today, We went to Deaf school to have practical trainings. It's an one of the step to get the teachers certificate. The Deaf school is at Kengun so its very far from my house. I had to get up at 5:30!! It's too early that it was still dark. So there was no car in the street.

Before we went to Dead school, we learned about sigh language and the "fingure Japanese". I think most people know what sign languages are look like. On the other hand, "fingure Japanese " is also a kind of sigh language but they figures "a" "i" "u" "e" "o" in diffrent finger. Like the picture below. We figured out our names by using these sigh language. I memorised most of it but when I met the students at the school, I couldn't do it well.

During the classes, lunch time, lunch break and some other time, we mostly communicated by writting the words we want to talk about. It took time and had difficulty but I enjoyed it. They had hard to hear but without that handicap, they were like normal high school students.

The Strongest Baseball Team

The Hawks won the 2011 title. It took eight years to get this title again. We have been waiting for this time a long time. Sugiuchi shutouted Dragons batter for seven inning and Falkenborg, Morifuku and Settsu had a perfect pitching. At the ninth inning, Settsu took the last out. I totally thought Mahara will throw the last out so I was suprised.



They defeated Dragons by 3-0 in the game 7. Kawasaki got their first point by the base-loaded walk in the third inning, Yamazaki's hit in the fourth inning and Uchikawa's hit in the seventh inning. I was watching the TV and still remember I was very excited.


Hawks won the every title through this season. They got the interleague title, the Pacific League pennant and P League Climax Series. They're storngest of the 12 baseball teams in Japan. So I hope they can prove they're the strogest baseball team in Asia Series.

W8 My favorite sport is baseball

My favorite sport is baseball. I like them watching and playing it by video games. I’m not so good at playing baseball but I do like to do catch and play with my friends. If I’m going to play a game and have a position, I will be the second baseman and I’ll be the ninth batter because I don’t like to hit. The ball comes very fast in front of my head, it’s too scary. When I’m on the defense, the ball won’t come so often and most of it will be grounder so it would be fun getting him out. But the liner comes and if I couldn’t catch, I’ll dodge it and say I’m sorry to my teammates. Even sometimes it’s scary and hurts, we can’t stop playing it. It’s very fun playing with many friends. Besides I don’t have to run so much like playing soccer.

W7 My favorite movie

My favorite movie is “Transformer”. Especially I like the “Dark side moon”. There’re three movies and this “Dark side moon” is the third one. It has shown at the theater but maybe it’s already finished screening. The great part of this movie is the graphic and the 3D. It’s so beautiful so that I couldn’t believe that the robots were CG. When I watched the movie at the theater, it was so beautiful. I can’t wait until I can see at home. But there’s one thing that I don’t like. In the movie, the heroine is a different girlfriend. The heroine’s actress has changed from the first two movies. So I felt weird when I watching the movie. I think it would be better if the name of the heroine will be the same though the actress is a different person.

W6 My favorite movie star

My favorite movie star is Jim Carrey. I've been is fan since I was a kid. I was shocked when I watched his comical performance. The first movie that I saw was "Ace Ventura" series. This movie is very funny from the beginning but his performance made it more funny. I became to like his films but this one didn't make me a fan. "The Mask" is the one which made me a true fan. The green paint on his face and the fancy direction, I liked it and it looks like a Grinch. So I send a fan letter to him. By the time I was forgetting about sending that letter, a reply mail came!! First I couldn't believe it but their was a signature in it. I liked it and it’s still displayed in the living room. Though it was printed.

The main character is a giant panda Po who’s a very clumsy, dull, funny and fat　panda. He’s son of a noodle shop owner but he’s interested in kung Fu though he hasn’t　ever done it. This story is set in the ancient China, valley of peace. There’s a dojo of　kung Fu and there’re the furious five-the tiger, monkey, mantis, snake (viper) and crane　and their master Shifu.

On day an old tortoise, Oogway, who is Shifu’s master decided to choose the person to　receive the “Dragon scroll”. The person who can know the secret of scroll which can have　unlimited power. The recipient for the dragon　scroll was supposed to be chosen from the　furious five but Po was accidently chosen by Oogway. The furious five and their master　were very surprised about it and especially Po himself was surprised too. Shifu gave Po　few chances to give up but Po stayed at the gym to change himself.　Meanwhile Oogway, felt Tai Lung, an evil snow leopard which used to be Shifu’s　student will escape from the jail. Tai Lung is a master of Kung Fu but Oogway had a　vision that he had an evil heart so Oogway didn’t give him the dragon scroll. So he got　upset and destroyed the village. Shifu sent a messenger, Zen, a goose, to reinforce the　security of the jail. Though the director said that the security is perfect, one feather　dropped from Zen let Tai Lung escape.

Nippon Baseball Classsic

Hawks lost the first 2 games. I think most of the people thought the Hawks will win the first two games because the "2" ace(s) Wada and Sugiuchi will be the starting pitcher. But the Dragons were strong that we thought. Hawks lost the games. I think the reason why Hawks lost is the diffrence between the amount of the experience of the closing pitcher.

Today is November 11th. There're so many 11. And at 11:11, I wanted to eat Pocky because today is a day for Pocky. I don't who said it but at that time I was watching the movie "Into the wild", and realize the time, it was already noon. I lost a big anniversary. There's nothing special to get or lose but I felt a bit sad. I have to wait one more year though it would be 2012 and we'll lose one "1".

Pepsi Pink

Today, I drink pepsi cola "pink". I bought it from the convience store just out of curiosity. I had drank most of the intereting flavor that the pepsi had sold. So I wondered how it tastes. When I opened the bottle, I smelled the strong smell of the strawberry. Then I swallowed a mouthful of this weird juice. The first taste was sweet. Just sweet. It says "strawberry and milk flavor" but I didn't feel so milkly though the taste was like strawberry au lait with soda or you dissolve the strawberry candy to the soda. But it's ok to drink if you compare from the shiso or azuki.

Book review #5 The magic school bus Explore the Senses

I read the magic school bus again and again. This time we're going to the senses of the people. I think it really looks like the one that I read before. Well, this is what this book says.

First of all, the main character I think, won't drive the school bus and the assistant priciple will drive it. They'll go after the car that the main charcter drives. And while they were chasing, the assistant principle pushed a button and then the bus began to shrink.

Then the bus swallowed into an officers eye. They went through the nerves and to the brain and came back from the other eyeball. After they adventured the offiicers head, they jumped to a boy's ear. Again, they adventured into the inner ear and the auditory nerve and again to the head. Then they jumped into a dog's nose. Discusting!! I can't believe it!! As they came, they went through the smell nerve and jumped into a water glass that Ms. Frizzle will drink.

Well, as you may think, they were eated by there own teacher. They adventured her tough and went through the nerve and to the brain again.

W5 My favorite shopping center

My favorite shopping center is Costco in Fukuoka. There’re many shopping center in
Kumamoto but I got so used to it so I won’t go there so often. So if I would go shopping, I’ll
go to Costco instead but only few times in a year. Besides, the things that I want only sold
in Costco. This way, it’s more fun shopping. We’ll buy many things especially Dr. Pepper,
beef jerky and pizza and so on. We buy so many things that we had to go there by a
big car. We went there with my friends an everybody will buy the wholesale products so
we had to rent a big car. It was a big car but we bought so many things that the people who sits
in the third row, they had to keep the pizza on his knee.
