Please say something freely only in English and leave. This is a monologue thread. So you can talk to yourself. Others don't have to take part in it or give a response.
i prefer staying up late to getting up early. but today i got up early, and feel good. it would be better to keep early hours for my health. to my surprise some people are awake at this thime early morning.
A girl I really liked said to me that she would marry a man in November. When I heard it, I felt so glad. Usually in that case man feels jelous, but I didn't feel jelous at all. Rather I felt relieved. It means that I didn't love her so much deep down at heart or I really loved her from the bottom of my heart I don't know which. Anyhow I'm also married.
I'm studying for the "tests". I've got more than 15 tests in two months. That means I'm having a test every 4 days. I wonder when this hell will be over. The only thing I can enjoy is the internet. And now I'm wasting my precious time surfing the net. But I guess taking no break would drive me crazy.
My brains seem to be already broken and I can only write easy sentences as you see.
You must be careful when you find you are typing continuously WORK, WORK, WORK,WORK..... WORK, WORK, WORK,WORK..... WORK, WORK, WORK,WORK..... WORK, WORK, WORK,WORK.....
Is love permanent? It's quite an interesting subject to go into. First I'd like to consider the true meanings of being honest. Honesty is a name full of content which is not the quality itself but a series of rules in accordance with we feel sure and safe from the other's intentions. It may be an autoprotection mechanism; each time we ask for someone to be honest we are asking for not to be deceived. We are not interested in honesty but in not to be deceived. When we act honestly with someone and we are deceived by this person we don't say we were honest, we say we were naive. Love may have a similar mechanism.
The beef-bowl dish chain, Sukiya started serving "Gyudon" beef bowl dishes again. Sukiya had taken the dish off its menu earlier this year because of the ban on US beef imports (after the discovery of mad cow disease. "Butadon" pork dishes taste so bad. It's good news for me.
I'm now wondering whether or not to buy a 512MB memory for 1690yen. It's a bargain! But they'll sell just two. I'll have to wait the shop's opening at least from 4 am to get it.
hello guys! im not sure if this thread is the right one for me i just wanna talk by myself. OMG! my exam is coming up soon! help! im fuckin studying but i cant concentrate very well do u know how to study a bit more? i have to talk about how the goverment intervention reflects its economy and market and so on.. thats sucks..
>>43 unfortunatelly the country where i stay is not the states nor europian country. that is main land china,which most of 2 channeler dislike after all.w
now we have the mid-autum fest recently and chinese people r goin' to purchase ~YUEBING~ which is a famous chinese food.
human relationships are sometime very difficult. many of us act not based on reason but based on emotions. good or skillful employees are not always good for the organization or the owneres.
my car was towed away by the police. i parted my car on the place which has a lot of space for only twenty minutes. the police do not catch the cars which are really giving inconvenience to people, especially in the mornign, during rush hours. but they try to catch the cars which are easy to catch. anyhow Just a moment's carelessness sealed my fate. it was the first experience for me. i ran out of luck.
i totally agree with you. haven't you lost your driver's point to the extent that you are to lose the license? if you make the living by driving cars, Be careful!
when you have a melancholia, talking with the same kind of person sometimes relieves your mind. but too much contact may lead you to more serious depression.
like 72 a social withdrawal sufferer is hanging around this thread, i feel. good-natured withdrawals are permissable, but aggressive withdrawals are the worst among human beings. what he can do is only to annoy others. i think he had better kill himself. but the reality is that black beetles are strong enough to survive and multiply rapidly.
I think I know how you feel. I also have a troublesome frined, who always complants of everything, every person he saw. but somehow i feel easier than talking with more decent man. that means we are two of a kind.
Ichiro went 2 for 4, and he came within 19 hits of George Sisler's record mark of 257 hit, but it would be difficult to break the record for most hits in a single season. He has only 12 games left. If he can get two hits per game, he can make the new record.
i've realized that i need to read more japanese books as well to improve my english. it's not so good to read only english books. it is said that the persons who can be successful in the job in which they have to use English are the ones who have been able to make good friends both in japan and in english speaking countries.
i wanna detach myself from everything, but it's impossible. after all my course in life has been determined, but it is true to almost all men working for a company. only strong men can survive in our society.
middle-aged men are in their intellectual peaks, however, there are few works that make the most of their ability. the world is full of contradictions.
Ichiro, of the Seattle Mariners, got five hits on Tuesday. He has only 15 hits to make the new record of most hits in one season. Going five for five in a game is just great, a kind of art.
somebody sent email with viruses by using my emial address. viruses did that automatically. my friend told me about it, for which i knew it for the first time. the guys who are making viruses should go to hell.

You know what. I got on the phone to a costomer service of my PC and asked a rep to get the computer repaired four days ago. To my happy surprise, I got a call yesterday. So my pc comes back today!
I have just received a phone call and the unknown guy on the other end started taliking some obscene words. Although I had hung up the call immediately, it made me feel really sick.
>>128 Hey, thanks for your reply !! I know that he might call me up again.....and I feel worried & scared, but at least someone very kind like you gave me a comment which made me feel a bit relieved.
>>129 Well, but if he got on the phine to you again and again, what do you do? In fact, you can't deny the guy is not familiar with you. I mean, he is stalking you. Though you do not know about him, he may know a lot of you.
it happens all the time. if she hasnt got no call like this before, that means she is lucky. but i know it would be a pain if she lives alone. she would learn what men are like from now on.
99 percent of all the stalker crimes are just imaginary. it's just creations in women's mind. if you got a phone call like this, just ignore it. thats more than enough.
>>133 D'you forget? The police said the same thing like you before a miserable woman was killed by a mad man. I mean to say this to remind you of the Okegawa murder.
>>134 yeah, thats right. i think the case you just mentioned belongs to 1 percent. i think the police know from their experiences that almost all of such reports are relevant to women's delusion.
She must have been tracked down. The guy has already known where she is. After he creep into her room, molest her, and rip her off, what you can say to her? "You are unlucky." or " We couldn't do anything"? Why don't they even try to walk aroud her house?
Isn't it all the police's fault? Girls need to speak up!!
>>136 if she got numerous calls from the same person often and many times, that someone might be stalking her. but if she got a call from him only once, it does not matter. if she worries about it, there are many things she can do.
1.call the police 2. change the number 3.buy a telephone which can display the numbers of received calls.
>>141 That cannot always solve the problem. One reason is because even if she is seeing someone, a stalker must get lost in deep thought: why did she choose me? I'm the one who need to hang out with her. Then I must remove the guy, because she hope so.
Ichiro went 4-for-6, and increased his hits record for the season to 247. He came within 10 hits of GS mark. 10 games are left. I thought before he cannot make a new record, but now I think he can do it almost 99%.
Now,I have a girl friend. Actually I love her,but she has heavy love than I have. She always say to me to come her house and play with. But,I wanna have the time to play another friend, and to be alone. I am binded by her. Could someone give me a advice What I should do to solve this situation.
>>147 reporting to the police is very important. that decreases her anxienty over the problem considerably. i dont know if they are lazy or not, but im sure she will feel better by reporting.
if she changed the number and still she got calls from him, she can see that he is someone close to her. that gives her a hint to the solution.
she would be able to know who it is from by the number displayed.
>>150 >reporting to the police is very important. >that decreases her anxienty over the problem considerably. If the police desert her like when Okegawa muerder happened, her anxienty must get more than doubled, don't you think?
>>153 to tell you the truth, i once reported to the police about stalking. as you mentioned earlier, they didnt take it seriously. but i was relieved from the pain I got. actually i moved immediately after that, but a policeman visited my my place to make sure that there was nothing wrong with me. nothing happened after that. i only realized that i was such a paranoid. i started living with our family once again.
I am the girl who have received a call form stranger. Thanks for caring about me. You guys are soooooooooo nice.
Fortunately, I have not received another call from him (at this moment). That was the first time I've received such a strange call. He must be one of those coward guys who can not even talk to the girls in the "real" world" 'cos, when he speaks, his voice was trembling and mumbling, and all I could hear was some words related to .... you know .... the genitals.
If he calls again, I will call the police and get the phone with number display.
my freind says she likes a female stalker. if a girl sticks with him so strongly, he can accept her. as a matter of fact he is still single, and has never had a steady girl friend. after all what is the most important for the stalker is her or his looks.
Now I realized that I'd been spent all my time rubbing my dick against the sheets, doors, my desk, everywhere today. What am I doing? Gosh. I swear to God I'll study hard tommorow.
I feel kinda sorry for you. Because I just saw K with pretty woman near my house. They were talking and kissing a lot. Seems they're perfict for each other. Obviously that woman was not you, she is much taller and prettier, sorry to say. this kinda thing happens all the time, so you shouldn't care.
It's so weird being with Matt. We are not dating or anything. We are just friends. I have a boyfriend and He has a beautiful girlfriend. But The other day I was with Matt at his house, all of a sudden he grab my bottom and said Why don't we?. I said why don't we what? "Have sex" He said. I was speechless and my mind went totally blank for a while literally. I don't know why but few minute later I was on his bet and he was trying to come inside of me softly. I had a voice like Don't do that! Don't do that! on my head. But I did it after all. I know I'm disgusting. People in here call someone who have sex with an American easily nikubenki. Maybe I became nikubenki now I guess.
Quite a few women can live a foreigner in order to master english, even if they have no intension to marry the man. One of my good friends did so in Australia. I really hate them not because they have sex but because they calculate everything. They have similar mentality as prostitutes.
>>206 I think that K-1 cannot revitalize dawn any longer. It is because he does not have stamina More, if a punch is not issued there is no meaning which is K-1 fighter
i wanted to buy a new computer. i went to many shops to get a good one, but i didn't buy one after all. i've already had five pcs. i may have become addicted to pcs, so i stopped buying one.
As you know, Ichiro and Sasaki were once teammates. When they belonged to the same team, I mean, Seattle Mariners, the team won the American league championship.
Sasaki is one of the most experienced pitcheres in Japan. So it is too bad that he is out of Yokohama now.
Chunichi will surely win the championship this year. The other team's fans can only find it worth watching the rest of the games to see whoever will win the titles such as homerun king. I hope Woods can make it.
Come to think of it, the Japanese professional baseball struck about two weeks ago, didn't it. What's your opinion about the strike? And which company do you think is suitable for the Pacific league, Livedoor or Rakuten?
The players should have expressed their demands by the strike. So I support it. I'm not sure which company is suitable for running a baseball club. They're not experienced for it although Rakuten might have bigger financial resources.
>>231 I don't know what he's like except when he's on TV. But I feel he's been serious about the merger this time. Of course, he might have a desire to make his company famous. But he acted when anyone else didn't stick up for the baseball players. Mikitani san may know a lot about how to manage professional teams, but I'm a bit suspicious about the way he got in the incident.. He is much too buisinesslike. I don't like his nemawashi... I personally think it's important that the owners make it open to everyone what's going on.
>>232 >The conservative NPB might pick up Mikitani. Yeah. That's what I thought, too.
But do you like it? I can't believe NPB will be fair.
And why did Mikitani san decid on Sendai as his home ground? If Tutumi and Mikitani are pulling the strings behind the scenes, isn't it possible to be fair?
Yeah,Horie was the first to express the intention to have a ball club in the Pacific League. Mikitani seems just following him. But other owners might favor Mikitani,I myself like Horie better.
Hey old guys. People don't care How baseball is gonna be. Only country old men are still into this boring stuff. I'm telling you man, baseball is already dead! It doesn't matter how mach you guys spend on talking about it. Soccer will overshadow baseball soon.
Do you know about Maeda ai or whatever? I mean, an announcer on Tokyo TV.
Guess what! She probably is a returnee. And more surprising is the fact that she appeared on a TV language program about 3 years ago before she became an annnouncer!
>>246 I see. but I don't know Maeda ai.I watch almost Fuji TBS Nittere But there are lots of announcer who can speak English. unbelievably Ucchi can also speak English.
And as I said on >>246, she happened to appear on a program called Buisiness English on NHK's program. What interested me most was how she finagled it, I mean, Why did she play an important role when she's still a college student?
>>257 I see. Her beautifulness and good English speaking makes her appearance on NHK when she was a student.but TV Tokyo is less famous than Fuji If she is an announcer of Fuji, she must have got more fame than now
this thread is now and then very interesting. maybe quite a lot of people have posted on this thread. i wonder what has become of hello-work man and ayapan man and what will become of two new guys.
When I had a lot of free time, I felt depressed, but I was very busy today, and felt to some extent satisfied. I don't want to do that, because it's not my job. But he always asks me because I'm a good man. I don't like it, but at the same time I feel satisfied. I've got a strange feeling. Being trusted by others makes me feel both tired and satisfied.
No other woman in the class is as strong-willed as Y. She is more eager to master English than any other student. One problem is that she is trying to use English-speaking people a little too selfishly. But there would be no other way to acquire a mastery of English. I feel like rooting for her. But don't be fell into a trap. Don't make another being by mistake.
ichiro got another hit. he has six games remaining and needs five more hits to equal the major league record. i think that he can make it, but some are beginning to say that his record won't be given official approval in the U.S.
hiro's pronunciation is too poor, but his vocabulary must be so large. but i want him to quit and nhk to employ a guy with good english pronunciation. i wonder why he has been employed.
his efforts may be beyond my understanding. but even for n, a personal connection must be the most important. to tell the truth, i also was employed through i's connection. we cannot find a good job without good connections.
if possible i wanna go to a foreign country. but it's only a dream. i like looking at a world map or watching videos made by tourists company. i feel as if i were in the country. what we can do in our life time is so limited. i can't help going ahead on the present road.
It's got customary to take a short sleep after getting home, and to get up around 10. So I'm awake now. I have o break this habit. Also I want to put an end to our relationship.
I once believed translating a lot of English into Japanese would get me somewhere. I was so sure that Japanese people couldn't think in English, that I gave up speaking, writing English. But I completely changed my mind because of GE!!
I want to make more famous the best English learning method in the world, which may push famous Ken forward. The world will know who's the inventor of the method!
Much to your surprise, the prototype of GE was made not by †KEN† but OB and Black sheep, both of whom were thought to be best on this message system- what they call the Big Three. They helped †KEN† think up the GE method and advise him. And after †KEN† discussed with them the way that was most sutable for learning English, he finally came up with GE!!
somtimes i can speak english fluently, but other time again i have difficulty in speaking english. there are ups and downs. So is listening. i don't know why.
ken and I used to love each other very much. He was really good-looking, kind, intelligent and deep. I was completely in love with that guy. Every move I made was for him. Every breath I took was for him. But one day we broke up. He said he's gonna have to do something for english-learner, and change the world to a more peaceful place. And he became a GE's guru.
there are quite a few people who pretend to know everything about something. reality is not that simple. i think they hover between reality and the world of fantasy. they are playing ostrich. Do you dig it? maybe not.
i felt a little disappointed, cuz nobody could figure out what i was trying to say. i've gotta console myself, cuz this is only 2-chan, a kind of jokey threads. but don't take me wrong. i like him. he often cracks wise, but it makes me laugh and have fun. i want him to post more. i don't wanna turn what should be a pleasure into just another boring thread. do you get it? by the way ichiro got two hits today. he's come within three hits to make a new record.
i've made a mistake. with yesterday's two hits, ichiro is now three short of sisler's record, so he needs four more hits in the remaining five games to set a new record for the most hits in one season.
>>334 No skin off my back. (what does it mean? this is your next homework.) at least you've come to use "know-it-all jerk". that's enough for you today.you learned living english. I've gotta go to bed now.
2channel is the cool place to hang out. You can find most of the cool people there. In 2channel you can just chill and do whatever and totally relax. "Take it easy" is the 2channel motto, for example, that's how laid back it is there. Show up if you want to have a good time. Another good reason to show up is if you want to hang out with friends.
347 Hey hey, calm down, buddy. I just happened to find this bb when I was trying to find some page on the net. Thought this was like... a monologue board. Just got here in Japan and I was just curious. Did it bother you? Sorry =p
it's no doubt he is paranoid schizophrenic. the number of people who are paranoiac has been increasing. he is under the obsession that he is attacked by y. he has no time to spend. he should take a breath before attacking others.
I must go to univ since tomorrow. I'm very sad now.... Tonight will be the last night of summer vacation in my life, because I'm in the fourth grade in univ.
if i buy a new pc, i'll lose a lot of money. but it also will bring me the energy to continue my work. i don't have any hobby other than using the net now. so ke will permit me to buy l500. but i'll keep it dark. it'll be the best way. i gotta be careful not to slip the secret. but after all I may let the cat out of the bag sooner or later.
October has come again. How many times? Quite a few who had a fixed name have gone out of this message board. It would be because they got too busy to write or lost interest in posting by being attacked by trotters. As the saying goes, a tall tree catches much wind, especially in Japanese society. I often had to make pregnant remarks so that cracked guys or especially bird-brained students couldn't get into. Small time drug dealers can never get it. lol.
Oh! I can't sleep! I don't know why... I must wake up at seven, and I usually need at least 10 hours. It is already three before a quarter! ummm.... What shall I do?
Yosinori ono said in an interview that overseas by the SDF(自衛隊) such as those in iraq and afghanistan,are "very much restrained" by the governmen@s long-held interpretation that japan possesses the right to collective defense 誰か教えてください!
>>370 I'm of two minds about it. True, the Bush administration caused the Iraq war, which I think was wrong as many people in the world do. The mass destructive wepons his cabinet insisted existed somewhere in Iraq, haven't been found even until now. But on the other side of the coin, if the democratic party win the next general election, I mean if Kerry becomes the U.S president, what will happen to Japan in the economical view? He will be hard on Japan just as Clinton did? That will result in damaging our recovering economy?
Yeah, it is a tough call...potential trauma in economy, or a seemingly endless war... I just finished watching the debate of the two candidates. There is no doubt that they contrast in their opinions about the war in iraq, and other issues such as Kyoto Protocol. What was funny to me was that Bush kept bringing up the fact Kerry kept changing his position, but in fact, Kerry turned it around by saying "what's wrong has to be made right". I thought it was very clear that one is better spoken than the other, to say the least. I don't even know how Bush could win the last time...
i shouldn't be mean. i should be kind to m. but i feel i have lost something, i wanna lose it, but if i try not to lose a bit, i may lose a lot. i could fall in a pile of shit and still come out smelling like a rose. he's been kind to me, i have to do something in return. now may be the time.
ichiro is only one hit away from the 257th hit of the season. i never though he is such a great player as might set a new record in major league. As compared with that, the dragon's winning the pennant seems to be a small matter.
never mind, you'll find your girl soon. because, you have your heart and your mind! don't be shy, go your way, with your head held high, then you'll find your sweet girl sometime.
when autumn comes, she gets short-tempered. why? autumn makes women short-tempered. or it may be related to her birthday. she says she wants to eat a lot in autumn. maybe it would be women's nature. it may have come from dna of our ancestors. animals eat a lot before torper.
The Japanese pension system for citizens-what's called Kokumin nenkin in Japanese-gives each of the elderly people the same amount of money wherever they live in Japan?
The reason why I want to know that is that I heard it depends on commodity price how much they are given. I know a pension changes as time goes by because of commodity price, but the money needed to pay for an item also changes where you live?
So I wonder if the amount of money changes not only when you live but also where you live.
Can you answer my question The reason why I want to know that is that I heard it depends on commodity price how much they are given. I know a pension changes as time goes by because of commodity price, but the money needed to pay for an item also changes where you live?

Ichjro's challenge attracts attention very much in Japan, But in the United States, it doesn't. I checked the web site like yahoo news MLB section, CNN sports etc. Ichiro's challenge is not a top news. American like powerful home-run butters.
It's a day off today. But I have to work at office because of invoice priod. I'm the only one that be here, my office. I have to work. Off couse I understand, but..... I'm afraid that I'm getting clazy about 2ch-bbs.......

Our Father in Heaven has commanded that the sacred power and privilege of sexual relations be exercised only between a man and woman who are legally married.
Ichiro broke George Sisler's MLB record, ending 84 years of history by having 258 hits. The Mariners have two more games, and the fans are still counting.
she was very kind to to me today. i had to work overtime. she said to me that she would like to help me. i went home as soon as we finished the work only after saying to her "thank you." i'm thinking now that she may have wanted to have dinner with me or something like that. i should've invited her to dinner or i'm imagining things. she is just a kind person. that's all. i cannot distinguish between just kindness and special affection. i cannot read woman's mind even now. am i too dull(too thick-skinned) or worrying unnecessarily?
I feel sorry for K. K has fatty deposits in many parts. K just had major surgery at a plastic surgery hospital. It left a big scar. k cannot drink even coffee. k cannot eat or drink what k really likes. It's a really tear-milking story. I can't help but cry. Cheer up, guys who have fatty deposits in many parts.
oh nevermind. i think i got it. so you ARE a girl, but you have guy's brain. you still like guys but that makes you feel more homosextual then heterosextual, right?
Well, it's rainy today. It's also a little bit too cool outside.
I have to go to a school to study, though I don't like it because of the weather today. You may think I'm lazy, but there's another reason why I'm not motivated, I keep it to my mind, though. Um, I gotta go soon.
I don't know why Koizumi is so popular. He does nothing helpful for us to live a good life. The jobless people are increasing in number. Especiall he is popular among stupid women. Maybe they like only his looks, though he is divorced. It is said that we are divided into two groups, winner groups and loser groups in the near future. From that point, I may be a winner. I had 12 days bon vacation, and I got about 20% pay increase. More days off and higher salary. But I feel empty, because our outer happiness will be over all of a sudden for various reasons, such as a traffic accident, diseases, and death. Actually both my father and mother got a cancer. My brother got a traffic accident. I want to get something imperishable so that I can keep my presence of mind with the stakes raised.
gout is a painful condition that makes your toes, knees, and fingers hurt and swell. anyhow her character is too cute to resist. many men must have been snow-jobbed.
It takes a long time to master English. Especially speaking English is a kind of mouth movement exercise. If we stop practicing, our speaking ability will decrease quickly. It's no wonder there are very people who can speak English fluently in Japan. To know many English words is one thing, and to be able to speak them out is another. The latter needs a lot of mouth movement exercise which is very similar to playing sports. Lots of people make little of such a tiring practice.
When we say that a fact or idea dawns on us, what does that mean in a real sense? Even if we say we have realized it, we may have misunderstood it. Simple minded people are quick to say they got it, but it takes a long time for thoughtful people to come to a conclusion. Nothing more comes into my mind. I'd better pull the pin.
i took a shower. though it's getting colder, i feel a little hot for a while after taking a shower. i gotta get up six fifty this morning. i can sleep only four and a half hours.
I got a new dishwasher hooked-up today! It's a second-hand, but it is fabulous compared to what we had before...it's quiet, it's powerful, it washes 12 dinner settings at a time!! We had to go to Home Depot 4 times to get plumbing and electrical parts, but it is so worth it - a saving of possibly 150 dollars in labour cost for hiring a pro. We need more plates just so we can fill the machine now.
According to pediatrics, a one-year-old baby can use 1 word sentences, a two-year-old can use two word sentences, and three-year old can 3 word sentences. This fact clearly shows that most of the Japanese people who speak English still remain in the infantile stage when it comes to speaking. But from my experiences, sentences consisting of less than four words can tell almost anything. We can say that speaking English is easy because that's what all the three-year-old children are doing.
It is said that North Korea has trained up to six-hundred computer hackers who can access the files of foreign government and militaries. I get about spy-wares from China every day. I've found it after I installed Ad-Aware software.
For most newlyweds, it is easy to love and to care for each other. But as time passes, sometimes spouses forget to show love for their companions and begin to think more about themselves.
>>472 Fest of mood or mood of fest? *fest=festival Literally speaking, you can say, "We went out for seeing the Bon festival dance. The street was in festive mood, so we were excited. Figuratively speaking, you can say, "I was in the mood for a snog-fest", which means "I was in the mood for kissing all boys. * snog=kiss However, don't ask such a difficult question in this thread. Because people here are very poor at English, of course, including myself.
Hiro's amateurish and lousy English is unbearable. Why does NHK continue to use him? He must be such a person as butters his boss up. I don't like ass-lickers. NHK should work for for public ends. Personally I don't have any snout on him. But his bad pronounciation is beyond sufferance.

I got lost yesterday on the way to a place. I was stuck in a rut, spining my wheels, going no where. I ended up spending lots of time in vain. I felt it was a pain to go there since I don't know where it was. So I gave up.
Being aware of grammatical correctness in speaking is very Important for you to improve your conversational skills.If you don't care about any mistake, you will continue using the wrong grammar or expressions and they sometimes make listners confused when they don't make sense.You might as well take any piece of advise thankfully when someone corrects your sentence.
>>501 True, you need to study English grammar. But why in this thread?
Some Japanese people are too sensitive to make a mistake, to write in English, as a result of which they don't improve. And if you try to correct them too often, they may feel annoyed.
To someone who always wants to find faults with others, let me ask you this: don't you make any mistake?
you are wrong with me.. to find fault with others and to correct mistakes someone made with goodwill are completely different!You sometimes make mistakes and also I make mistakes as well as long as we are same human. Why dont't we correct mistakes each other id each of us made mistakes?I think people are NOT afraid of making mistakes, BUT scared of being pointed out the mistakes you made by someone and being regarded as an idiot.I wanna say Dont correct mistakes someone made as well.
A car went up the hill. At that point it drop down into a hall. But the car was so hard that it didn't break down. After that, it started to drive through a tunnel of the hill. You were able to see the car apear from it. Finally, the driver got where he want to go to. He looked as happy as if he reached the heaven.
Early in the morning, I got up with a start because my friend stormed in my room. I didn't know how, but he was extremely so angry that I hadn't given some money back to him, that I couldn't ask him about the way he got in. I took what little money I had from my wallet, and get him the money, before he calmed down. Several moments dragged by. And then I made up my mind to ask him about it. To my surprise, he answered he had another key made before. It was my turn to get angry. I made him take the key out on a table in the middle of room before I pushed him out of my room.
There're lots of elements that's needed for a teacher, such as being respectable, highly motivated, and what not. To focus on English teachers, I think command of English must be most important of all the reqirements.
Come to think of present-day people who bother to teach English, they are very motivated to get a job. One reason is that only several percent of them could get where they want to be. As a result, they are to be judged by their own English skills.
What are do's and don'ts about learning English? Are there things that you shouldn't do when studying a language at first? I think it's best to do whatever you like.
I know I've tried lots of methods of learning English, For example, listening to NHK's English program on the radio. There're a lot of English-related how-to books piled on the shelves in book stores in Japan. Why? Because Japanese people only want to devoure the kind of books only for knowledge, not practical use. They don't try to get started, so the rubbish book is selling well.
As for me, when I want to read, I read. When I want to write, I write. In my opinion, it counts when you learn another language how much you get used to it. Don't give up. Give it a try.
I'm a bit sleepy now. But I must study. I forwarded from an IC recorder to my PC what a lecture said in class so as to listen to him again later when I reviewed it. Now that I took the same class once, I can understand more than before. I need to learn by heart what the point is. What's effective to do it is read out what's written in the text book. That'll help.
If you're serious to learn English, you need to try any topic. The weather is what Japanese often thought everyday conversation is. But how long do you want to talk about it?
One day in the morning , I got out of my house and headed for an airport to see my girl friend off. I took a bus before I got on a train. After more than 2 hours, I got there.She was in line to be serched. I walked on and got close to her, asking if she was alright. She smiled back to me and said, " Yes. Thank you for coming along." I felt so happy as not to say another word. Instead, I put my right hand forward, shake hands with her, and hugged her.
I couldn't think then that I wouldn't meet her again.
I didn't get in touch with her as time went by. What I had in mind then was, she was so busy that she couldn't even get on the phone to me. Because I didn't want to get her annoyed, I myself didn't bother to call her.But it turned out to be wrong.
I couldn't forget the day when I got a phone call from her mother. She told me that the girl was attacked by someone she didn't know. Got killed. Why? What did she do to the mad guy?
I'm having a test today. But I'm not studying now. I can't motivate myself to do so. Plus, I don't have enough time to spend on studying. And I don't think I can pass. Is it a kind of depression?
I went to a public office today in order to get a certain document, maybe for the first time in my life. I climbed a starcase up to the second flore of the building, to find there were fewer people than I expected there. So I didn't need to line up. I asked a public servant to make the document I want finished, and in turn she did it in no time at all. It cost me 300 Yen. After I received what I needed, I walked down the same starcase and got out of the building, before I took a bus to the nearest bus stop to my house.
he can speak very little english, but he is so sociable and so active that he has been able to make many friends in autralia. but the problem is that i have to translate long letters from australia into english for him.
Hi, I just got up. Today, I have to go out, though I really don't want to because of the typhoon today. According to the news I saw yesterday, the torrential rain and blowing wind would be hardest in the afternoon. Oh my got! That's when I will be walking out there or on the train! I hate it...
>>580 As I said here on the thread, blowing wind and hard rain hit me when I got out of a building in the evening today. I got drenched soon. I felt bad even after I was on the train.
Seems like you spent time in your room when I was out, though.
As I walked down the sidewalk, cars were passing beside me, sprashing some water. Lucky I didn't get spattered with it. When I got home, my mom told me the typhoon hit the place where I live at that point. I'm clear that's the way it was.
I did love Family Computer when I was in elemetary school, though I haven't bought Play Station 2. Dragon Quest was my favorite. And I heard Dragon Quest 8 will be released soon, so I checked it out. Much to my surprise, the graphics of the software looked very wonderful. You can't imagine that's the new Dragon Quest.
If you buy it, please let me know whether the game gives you pleasure or not.
i live in aichi. i hear in the news that this typhoon is the one of the strongest since 1951, and storm warning has been issued. but the fact is that we had little wind. it was a small typhoon for this area.
It's very hard to trust other people. The older he becomes, the more difficult it is for him to change. We can know what he is, by seeing his way of living in his thirties.
As a pet, a tortoise is good. A tortoise doesn't eat so much. You don't take it for a walk. In my room I keep a tortoise walking around in the evening time. A lot of dust adheres to the feet of the tortoise. It means that the tortoise cleans the room. To my suprise the tortoise never evacuates without toilet training. It evacuates only in the water tank.
Can you teach me about an English phrase, please? When I read a book today, I found this expression: "Don't be clever with me!"
Do you know what it means? The context in which the phrase is used is that a person got irritated by another one before he said it. I know he was angry with the other, but I can't guess how it is translated into Japanese, if I try to turn it into Japanese.
Fujita got beaten by Kensuke. It seemed that Fujita gave up intentionally. He makes little of the iwgp champion belt. He may have been tired of fixed fights.
During this exam term at the college, it looks like I'm doing so far so good. But the next one is very dangerous cuz I hear some of the students dropped out by it last year. I have to prepare for it better than any of the tests. It requires a wide range of knowledge, but is a relatively light one, cuz it's a multiple-choice test.
When you realize that God has a plan for you, it is easier to understand why you are on this earth. God wants all of His children to progress and become more like Him.
As you know, I don't intend to write this for chatting, but actually we have been enjoying talking with each other. Rules that don't suit the reality need changing, I think.
CNN reported that the sales of books on religion went 50% up from 2002 -2004 in the US. That probably reflects uncertainty of the present world,I think.
It's hard to finish my assignment. I have to complete it in three hours by now, but I haven't done the half of it. Is there anyone who wants to help me?
Beth has a hot body. I had a crush on her when we met at my teacher's class room. I have a intense feelings for her, but I still can't tell her that I'm a lesbian.
She doesn't understand how comfortable she can make me feel. Or maybe she pretends not. If I round on her, do you think she will take me? I can't avoid thinking she'll refuse me. How can I communicate my feelings to her?
Beth is very energetic and sexy. You can relate her with Blitney. If she puts her hand on my thigh, ehhh. Think any other girl at my shool loved her... I want her.
I tried to evesdrop on the talk between Beth and my teacher, only to find they walked out of my earshot. I couldn't help thinking they hung out. The haunting idea got me down, before I was jelous of my teacher. Without her, Beth would have fallen in love with me.
It makes me wet to think about her graceful smiles, her beautiful fingers, spiky brown hear. Beth is mine. I don't want to lose her. I know she loves me. But we can't make our relationship known to everyone, because of the bias they, Japanese people, would direct to two of us.
I had to give up her, but I couldn't. So I made up my mind to ask the teacher to break up with her, I didn't think she admitted she went out with Beth. To my surprise, though, she admitted to it. A sudden violent idea came to mind then...
Both Bush and Kerry're opposed to gay marriage. But Kerry said that America should be toleant with different values or ideas from your own or something like that at the debate.
Beth, who was a true teacher, must've chose me. Last I talked to her, I mean yesterday, she let me know who she loved when I went to school. It was me!! I suddered to believe that. I, however, didn't tell her I'd loved her. When I opened my mouth to say I loved her too, instead, What I said were some disparaging words.
Yesterday, I applied for a TOEIC exam for the first time in this year, which means I will take a fifth or sixth bout of it, using the online application system, though I haven't payed money for the emam. I need to go to a nearby convinience store to pay. It will take 10 to 15 minutes to get there. Walking down the winding sidewalk before going strait, I will get in the store through the automatic glass doors, turn right as soon as I enter it, find a computer to type in my sirial numbers and come by a slip of a kind of receipt. And I will walk to where a store person is waiting for me, before from my purse I take out money that's needed to sit for the exam, I mean, more than 6500 yen. Don't you think it costs much? Anyway, I will get out of the convinience store and head for my house through the road where I walked on.
And it will come again that I am browsing the internet, especially here on 2channel, when I get home.
A girl called Beth has suddenly become famous here in the thread. According to what was written, she seemed very attaractive, even to girls. That led me to conclude she looked like a beatiful boy like Uchida Yuki. Of course, she's not Japanese, though. Let's imagine how she looks in your head. How do you feel? Are there possibilities that you will have a crush on Beth too? Well. in fact, I think I will, if I see her in person.
What do you think if a beatiful woman twist your arm to study English? I, for one, will study as hard as I can. I'll do whatever it takes to satisfy her. Her smile will intensify my feelings.
Well, to the girl who loves Beth, I ask you if you can talk beth into writing here. If Beth taught me some English, that would boost my English skills. So please ask her, please.
I take a walk in a park when I feel down. There're so many flowers that they make me calm. Looking up to the sky, I feel what worrys me is a tiny stuff, when it's sunny. The sky sometimes sheds tears. I feel sorry then. But looking down on the ground, the tears always seep down into earth, which feeds up every life in it. I appreciate everything that the God gets me.
>>714 Then I'll go that way, because if you've already noticed there's happiness, I need to search for the only thing. It's your fault for me to do so.
So you mean the God interrupts in the mandane world, and he tries to push his values on to us? Did that break what you call natural laws? The God seems very arrogant to me. If he's so selfish, I'm opposed to him.
>>720 Don't pretend you're a sage or whatever. You definitely lacks what's most important in life. Let me teach it to you. That is "believe in yourself" kind of attatude toward your life. You may be too blind to notice what I just wrote here, though.
>>725 You're a snob. What do you mean, experiences that try our souls? First of all, you need to put it in perspective. You haven't made any sense at all so far, Irritating, disgusting, filthy maggot.
Suffering can humble you and open you to the influence of God’s Spirit. Through your own afflictions you can learn compassion. Through the afflictions of others you can learn to truly serve.
God provides comfort and blessings to those who turn to Him in times of need. Coping with calamities can strengthen us and call forth compassion. Such experiences can help us learn, grow, and serve one another.
I know I better make up my mind, though I can't give up,I can't let it go, I don't know what to do. err, knowing what I should do,and my heart just won't listen to my mind. oh,just tallking to myself,you guys can go on ...
But the raven, sitting lonely on the placid spoke only That one word, as if his soul in that one word he did outpour Nothing further then he uttered, not a feather then he fluttered, Till I scacely more than muttered,"Other friends have flown before, on the morrow he will leave me,as my hopes have flown before." Quath the Raven, "Nevermore."
I remember it was the bleak December, And each reparate dying ember wrought its ghost upon the floor, eagerly I wished the morrow ... vainly I had sought to borrow, From my books surcease of sorrow ... sorrow for the lost Lenore ... For that rare and radiant maiden whom the angels name Lenore ... Nameless here for evermore.
I'm really, really sorry that I put off until now getting touch with you. I didn't intend to, but I counldn't contact you. You may feel it's absurd, but what I've been thinking was that I don't want to come across as a loser. I think I need to get my head up.
So please don't appologize to me. You have never annoyed me. It's all my fault..
darn...Why doesn't he realize that? I told him about it very clearly. And I cried front of him...and told about that. Or does he prented to be? That's not what I want him to do. How come!? How come he can still sit there and keep saying "u okay?" I'll be alright if he'll shut up and just kiss me.
If I'm his cosinger, I'll get in trouble. This year I have too many problems that I have never experienced in my life. My luck may have run out. After all I've got to wait for things to get better.
Two Chinese defendants, who killed a Japanese family, admitted their guilt, and knelt on the floor to apologize to a relative of the Matsumoto family. I wonder why they could apologize after doing such a bad thing. If they are conscientious, they can't have killed innocent people. They pretend to be conscientious men so that they can make other people think that there were extenuating circumstances.
Half of my exam term was over, and I passed all of the tests so far. It's been really tough to study for the tests in just a couple days for each of them, but I've been doing alright anyway. I feel my confidence over exams is being built up inside of me. I thought this was going to be a hell before, but now I find myself totally devoted to studying and enjoying something which is not always fun.
Our school was closed owing to the typhoon 23. I can read this thread at home now. I feel I'm lucky this year. The number of the typhoons which landed on Japan in a year is the largest this year.
I live in Nagoya. The typhoon is getting closer and closer. The wind is getting stronger and stronger. I can't go out tonight. It's bad for me. I wanted to go to Hard Off.
i don't understand why japanese people have so many issues speaking english. all you have to do is practice instead of studying grammar, and things will come naturally. stop thinking too hard and stressing over verbiage, pronunciation, and enunciation. just spew the words right out of your mouth!!! って感じですかね。 理解に苦しみますわ
A sudden, enormous, and devastating earthquake will hit Japan in the future. I can foresee what'll happen... It's terrible... A lot of the Japanese people will die because of the earthquake.
A lot of them are going to be wailing, crying. There's no way they can escape from the future. They will lose their own houses, before they get together in the nearest schools from where they live. It's horrible..
Remember. Why did so many typhoons come to Japan this year? Don't you guess what the fact means? A horrible future is going to happen. It's unavoidale. Oh my god..
I can tell what shall go on in the world. Terrorists shall act like they want to. The world, I mean half of the world, will be faced with the horror of terrorism. No one can win againt them. How horrible...
A lot of unfortunate stuffs will befall people in the world... YOU may be included.. What do you live in this world for? If you can't answer the question, death will creep up your back to your head. What will bring you death, I can't tell you here, because too many of you read me.
As I fortold a few days ago, the 23rd typhoon hit Japan, causing lots of trouble, what's worse, killing people. How could I save them? My love didn't reach the miserable people.. Don't turn your back on the fact that death always stands next to you. You need constant vigilance!! Terrable things shall happen. You have to protect yourself from them all by yourself.
Some people feel only death can save them. I don't deny it. If you want death, I don't have the right to stop you. I don't predict that a person will die if he want it. There's no way I can interrupt. But don't forget, there's lots of people who want to live as long as they can. How can you end your life?
I can see what is going to happen in the world. Miserable-looking people with their head down who mumble something haunt me. I can't get them out of my head. Something bad must've been brought to them... Wish I would tell them CONSTANT VIGILANCE!!
thing's really not going well lately and I've got a horrible headache. I didn't do anything wrong but people treats me like a jerk. everything what i've done turn out to be shit. I guess i need to be shot. you know what i'm telling you, man? what the hell am i supposed to do?
i didn't have anything to do today so i was sneaking up on my dog taking a nap and taking a nap together. he seemed to be really comfortable with me. maybe that's because we have a lot in common. bow bow.
I went over the lessons I took every week. 5 weeks worth of lessons I'm finished with. I have to review another week's, before I start solving questions.
Sweetness, sweetness, I was only joking when I said I'd like to smash every tooth in your head... Sweetness, sweetness, I was only joking when I said by rights you should be bludgeoned in your bed...
I'm trying to get certified, not English-related though. I've been studying hard for 2 months, and I'll go on more than 8 months. I feel I'm a bit smart, brilliant because the more I studied, the easier I felt to do it. It's somewhat easy for me to learn things by heart. Think I have a good memory thanks to the habit of studying English, I mean to say to remember English words refreshes me!
I recommend to you to study, too. Your brain must be trained if you've studied English. And you may also feel smart when you study! Let's try anything else.
I can well understand what an English speaker writes in English and can write everything I want to tell him in English, but unfortunately I can not speak English at all somehow.
Sugita Satoshi, a fomous English lecurer, said "Be bold and upbeat, but not brash or boastful". So what you need is to think you're brilliant. Keep you head up! That'll make difference.
Unfortunately I have to help my brother's wife so that she can divorce my brother. My brother did too bad things to her. I also cannot forgive him. But my feelings are all mixed up. I've gone to pieces. If only he had a big heart!
The disparity between winners and losers will widen. It means that our society will be more and more dangerious. Quite a few losers wil try to get money by fraud or something like that, in the worst case, injuring or killing others.
I lost u at the midnight.U are too strong.But I'm too weak.So,I'm losin' everything now.All my treasure's leavin'…. If the party's held,I'm gonna try to chat u up,that I'm sure is impossible.Perhaps,I'll only be able to say,“Let's go shopping.” I can't imagine what thing will happen.They's hope that I only have for the future. 【日本語訳】 あの夜、失恋しちまった。君は強いよ。弱い俺の手には負えないね。だから全部失くなるんだ。大切なものが去っていく…。 もし、飲み会するんだったら、君を口説いてみるよ。まぁ無理だって解ってるけどな。多分、実際は『買い出し行こうや』としか言えないだろう。 その先に何が起こるのかは想像もつかない。在るのは未知への希望だけだな。
There was a long sidewalk aside the road, on which ran a thin man who seemed to head for a park. The place was spacious and you could alway find it crowded with children playing there. The man walked and finally got there. He looked high and low for what seemed like his possession or something like that, as if he didn't pay no attention to any child in the park. Actually, though, what he wanted was to take away a child with no parent. So he pretended to look for something because he need to be sure there was no grown-ups in the park. To his depression, he found two woman deeply emersed in their conversation. They seemed like friends. So he decided to take a seat put aside the park, and made believe he seemed as if he only took a rest and he was not interested in people around him, before the two women stopped chatting and took their children home. And then he finally decided on who he tried to kidnap. A girl was sitting on the swing in the park, looking down on the ground and mumbling something. The thin man accosted the girl and said," Hi, what're you up to now?", and in reply, she said, " Just looking at ants here and there".
Several years ago, there were a lot of kidnaps happening in some cities. The police couldn't arrest anyone, so people were worried about it. A police man was called in to solve the problem. He was called Akashima-an able police man. The news that lots of children were taken away has been interested him. He wanted to capture whoever seemed to cause the cases, though he had no idea how many evil guys were involved. At first Akashima went over the documents which read a lot of things related to the case, before he drove somewhere he chose one of the kidnaps was perpetrated.
"Well, do you want to eat something by the way? I can get you some sweets. What do you say?" the thin man continued with a big smile on his face. The girl stood up from the swing and replied to him " Yep, I love to eat chocolate, thank you!"
Several days later, according to a news reporter, a girl was missing and the parents were interviewed. "I know she went to a park but after that, I don't know what happened to her. Please take her back to us." And two women appeared on the EV, saying," we saw a suspicious man sitting on a bench in the park. He musta taken the girl out somewhere." And after watching the program, Akashima took a deep breath.
Akashima paid a visit on the girl's parent's home. One hour drive took me to the place. He got out of his car, walked several meters, then stopped in front of the door, and pushed the doorbell. Akashima tried to look as courteous as he could so that he didn't come across as accusing or sullen.
A powerful earthquake and three big aftershocks hit Nigata. The quake had a magnitude of 6.8. Its intensity on the Japanese-scale was six-plus in Ojiya city and six-minus in Nagaoka city.
Well if you are in Inaka then you must live in Shiga. You should just kill yourself now and get it over with. There is no way to get away from inaka once you have started living there
I would like to talk about how much I like cheese. Do you like cheese too? There are many kinds of cheese in the world, but the one I like the most is ass cheese. There is nothing better in the world than munching on some ass cheese while sipping on some wine and watching a movie with your gay lover.
>>916 Really? Me too! It's coincidence! I think so resently. I want to meet my cousins.
By the way.There is a good book. It's named "英語の書き方が面白いほど見につく本" published from 中経出版. According to my experience, this book deal with right grammer for writting I think. Please try this book if you mind.Thank you!
Since I slapped her, she got clam and obedient. After all it's best way. Most women are so stupid. If they think you are weak, they will bite you. But if they think you are strong, they will run away or be obident to you like a dog. I hate this kind of women.
He is so rich and serious, owner of huge estate, but still single, at the age of 39. He says he has never had a girl friend since he was born. I want him to get married as soon as possible. He is my good friend.
No, I don't think so. Don't forget? Chuniti and Seibu have a new superviser respectively. So next year Ushijima will lead Yokohama to the championship of the Japanese professional baseball league!
>>943 Yeah, you have a point, but they've been training thier own players unlike the Giants. So there're many young players improving their skills in Bay Sars such as Tamura, who hit 40 homeruns this year, and Furuki and many others! I'm sure young Bay will beat the other teams!
>>945 >sasaki is deteriorating Absolutely. I don't deny it. But I think this way, Ushijima was a great pitcher and know inside out how pitchers should be. He would get started on training pitchers at any cost. That will help.
hey, which guy are you guys expecting to join the baseball leage? i personally like horie. because he seems to be the one who brings back all the lost baseball fans with his amazing idea. that is something japan baseball really needs today.
Sharp is not a knife. it's the company. I bought Linus Zaurus. It's more than I have expected. But one problem is that I couldn't copy more than 100 mega bite file from SD to CF. I bought it to do it. But it's so good to type with an excellent screen.
Strong aftershocks continue to shake Niigata Prefecture. I'm wondering when the Tokai Earthquake will happen. If there happen to be an earthquake whose intensity is more than 6 plus in Nagoya, what will become of the people there? Actually I live in Nagoya.
