Most people use computer almost every day in these days. Of cause, there are a lot of people who using computers to learning, so there are a lot of good points and bad points. let's pick up some examples of learning with computer and grasp a lot of good points of computers. 

Most people might say that practicing write English Essay is a one of good example of it at first. Most students use much way to learn it. For example, Blogger, which is one of Google service, is a best way to improve writing skill of English. Most people use this service to not only make essays but also book reviews. In addition, people try to commenting each other and checking wrongs of Essay and other documents. When the people want to check these wrongs, they often use 'Paper Rater' website which is a kind of spelling and grammar checker. This website is very useful because Microsoft word software overlook little grammar mistakes. 

Moreover, people sometimes make an essay with two people. Of cause, there are many ways to do group works, but in this case they often use 'Google drive' and 'Gmail' which is a one of Google's service too. People have a lot of work almost every week, however they have to do 'Typing homework' which is a weekly additional work.

People sometimes visit 'The Japan News' or 'The Japan Times' websites and try to read English articles. However, people have to learn concrete way of read these article with textbooks. This is an only analog media. On the other hand, other teaching materials are almost digital medias.

In addition, There are some possible to stolen many information by hackers. Especially, some computers, which settle in the university, haven't installed good security softs, so they are little dangerous

These bad points are concrete examples of functions of computers. These problems are very serious, but actually, people don't face to these problems so regulatory. Most people have difficulties another problems. These are a kind of smaller problems than some problems of computer function. For example, People concerning how to use new soft wares and applications. These applications are very useful for everyone, but if the operate of these things are difficult; some people can't understand the good points of them. In other words, these applications are not convenient for people.

Computers helps our learning more easily, but there are some people who can't get use to using computers. These people might feel that making documents and doing homework with pencils better than using computer and doing these works. Therefore, using computer don't always useful for everyone, so computers should be more friendly for everyone, so people who can use computers should make more opportunities of teach how for these people who feel some worries about using computers. 


Learning way received the benefits of computer. This development of media is a big step of next stage of learning style. People using this equipment without any reason, so they should think about it again.

BR 2-18: A Speial Kind Of Neighborhood (Waring Rob, 2008)


"Because the environment of The Mission is so comfortable for them." (p.19.).

I have neighbors near by my house too, however, I have more neighbors automatically. So, I have not so good image for neighbors because I have to worry about them almost every week every time. Moreover, these my neighbors and I and my family living in a same condominium, so they are always become nervous for noises. Some opinions about noises at the meeting of that condominium almost once a month. However, these opinion is so negative. When I heard this fact, I thought that everyone who living in that condominium gave up to live more comfortable.  That problem is so difficult to solve, so I didn't see something good relationship with neighbors.At the same time, I think there are only few people who knowing about other people's  because most people doesn't want to make something.  

On the other hand, this book doesn't picked up these examples. Each neighbors are differences of race and life style. However, they are good neighbors each other. When I read this book, I thought that these example are very good and wise. Of cause, Most Japanese haven't the race problem, but they who living in a kind of condominium doesn't satisfied their lives. When I knew the fact in this book, I was so shocked and have a question. Why they doesn't make more good relationship with other people? At least, the Japanese disposition relate it, but I thought that If  most of people success to make good relationships, their works and concern will reduction.

BR 2-16: The Giant's Causeway (Ellis Julie, 2007)


"Suddenly, Oonagh had a plan" (p.14.).

I don't have experiences that play with strong people so many times. Actually, some schools which I had commuted hadn't any strong man. On the other hand, there are some people who good at sports. In addition, I haven't experienced something good things when I was a high school student because I'm not good at sports very well. So, strong person is very unique for me. Maybe, there were might be many strong people before, but the number of these people are decreasing now because today's tendency for education. Of cause, this book's story is imaginary thing, but I thought these things. In addition, I was surprised because this books didn't use any illustration. There are three dolls in this books.  

By the way, I impressed the action of the woman. These two man tried to solve the problem with their power and dignities. Of cause, that woman's idea is little bit embarrassed for the strong man. However, that man didn't complain about it for his wife. When I read this part of the book, I thought that the strong man is very kind. In addition, the man doesn't have excess oneself for his power. I think that point is most important thing of this story. This book is compare two strong mans and explain some differences between two mans strongly. Actually, I think that is a kind of lesson which people should be more wise.

BR 2-17: Taiko Master (Waring Rob, 2008)


"Another drummer also feels that taiko is about giving energy." (p.19.).


Actually, I had a lot of chances to listen taiko when I was a high school student. That high school which I went is famous for taiko club. That point is a only strong point of that school. When the school hold some special events, that club appeared in that events almost every time, so some people who came from outside of school enjoying taiko. However, I can't understand why these taiko performance loved by most people. That club performing same music so long time. Especially, when I attended an entrance ceremony, I was more of enjoyed than surprised. So, this book helps my understand for taiko very much. There are some reports of interviews, so I could feel harms of taiko.

When I reading this book, I had the feeling that taiko is great instruments. There are so many information about taiko and taiko players, however, actually these information aren't special for me. Maybe, most Japanese people might know these things because we had watched some TV programs which introducing Japanese cultures. Therefore, I didn't know that taiko used as guide of formation in the old days. That information was so interesting for me because I didn't enough imagine of taiko's history. At the same time, I had some questions of other example of taiko players. If I have chance to enjoy taiko, I want to listen these music more carefully that before.
