-A letter to my friend-

Hello.

Today’s my topic is a letter to my Japanese friend who wants to learn English in Winnipeg, Canada.

Dear my friend.

Hello. Long time no see. Hey, I heard that you are interested in my English learning program in Winnipeg, right? Then I’ll tell you about it as much as I can!! The program what I’ve been joining since last April is Intensive English Program, in shortened form IEP. It is one of University of Manitoba’s English programs. In this program, we have activities. We usually have them on every Friday after classes. It is really fun. The activity leaders who are also the students of University of Manitoba plan many kinds of activities such as bowling or karaoke or skating and so on... We can make many friends even we are not in same class. And we can have really nice time together. They can take us to historical place so that we can know many things about Winnipeg.

Winnipeg is really good place to learn English but the winter is really cold, so I really recommend you to bring ski wear or buy outer in here. Even you bring warm outer, it would not work in here. And also you should bring really warm socks. When it is really cold, the temperature will be like -40 or -50 degree. If you would be a frostbitten, it is really terrible, because it has really nice ache, so to keep warm is really important in Winnipeg.

By the way, residence or homestay, which do you prefer? I recommend you to choose homestay because it can give you a good chance to speak English and also to know Canadian lifestyle. And after school you can hung out with your friends during going back to your home!!

I hope that my letter will make you more interested in Winnipeg. See you soon and if you decide to come to Winnipeg, let me know!! I’ll give you more information!! :)

-United 93 movie discussion-

Hello.

Today, I'll write about the movie "United 93". If you don't know well about this movie, please be careful to read my blog, because it including some information about the movie.

On September, 11th, 2011, a terrible incident had happened. Terrorists hijacked 4 airplanes and attacked World Trade Center and Pentagon. There was only one plane that couldn’t attack the target because of the courage of the passengers. A movie “United 93” is one of the movies about the incident. The movie’s view is from the plane what didn’t attack the target.

The movie is made with real time. The reason of it is because real time is good for telling the feeling to the audience of the movie. We can feel that we are in the movie or the happening in the movie is happening in our real world. It gives reality to the movie. I think the people who made this movie wanted to tell us how the incident was terrible and to think about the people have the power to change the ending. Even all the passenger of united 93 died, they helped the other people from the attack of the plane.

In this movie, all the character don’t have name. In my opinion, it is because everyone is the main character, so they don’t need any particular name. And also, if they put the name of the terrorists, it can make other people to discriminate the name of the person. So it also protects the discrimination.

In this movie there is also no mention about why the terrorists did such a terrible thing. I think it is prevention for the imitation of other people. In Japan, some people who got bullied usually think about killing by him or herself. There is no connection between killing by oneself and bullied, but some people did it. Because of it, killing by oneself became one of the ways to escape from the hurt. If the director put the reason about doing terror, other people could affect because of it.

The united 93 was the only one plane that didn’t attack the target, because of the fight back of passengers. I think they thought that they might die by hijacking. They heard by telephone that World Trade Center building and Pentagon got attacked by planes, so they could predict that the plane that they were taking could attack something. I think they wanted to stop even they could die. If they do nothing, they will die. If they do something, they can change something. Anyway they had the possibility of die, so they chose one that can help other people and had the possibility of survive.

The ending was really sad, but this is interesting movie. If you are interested in this movie you should watch it. It can tell you how the courage is important and how the usually can change easily. After you watch this movie you can think about the importance of every single day.

-About Me-

Hello.

Today, I’ll write about myself, about who I am.

First of all, I’m a girl who is going to a university in Japan. I’m living in Japan with my father, mother and an older brother. But if someone asks me if I am Japanese, I can’t say yes, even I have a half blood of Japanese, because my nationality is Peru.

I was born in Peru what located in South America continent. When I was 4 years old, I moved to Japan what is one of island country in Asia. My father also has a Peruvian nationality even he has full of Japanese blood. It is because my father’s parents were immigrant from Japan. They really hated war, so they moved to Peru. My mother is pure Peruvian, so that’s why I am a half Peruvian and Japanese even both of my parents have Peruvian nationality.

After I was born, my father went to Japan for working, so I had just seen my father only in pictures, till I became 4 years old. I asked my mother many times, seeing my father’s pictures, “This is my father right? So… where is he?” I think it really hurt her, but I really wanted to see him in a real world... Because of me, my mother decided to go to Japan. Actually it was just for a visit, but Japan was much better than Peru, safe and interesting, so we are still living in Japan.

Now, I’m studying English in Canada. It has been since 2011 April, so I’ve been Canada for 9 months. Even I’ve been here for 9 months, it is still complicated for me to introduce myself in English, because I need to explain these things to people who I’ve met just now… orz haha That’s why I really, really hate to introduce myself… :P hahaha
