Thanksgiving Day


I’m going to talk about how to spend in Thanksgiving Day. They usually spend at their home in this day, and they eat traditional dishes in a general when night comes. After that they have eating and drinking until midnight. The day is as big as Christmas. All of stores close. McDonald’s or the burger shops also closes unusually and the hotel limits their menus. Many people have travel to meet their family. When this term comes, the turkeys are sold in supermarket, so it’s save people from stuffing solid into the turkey. On Thursday of Thanksgiving Day, every shop close, but sales which aim for Christmas begin on next day or Saturday.

Festival



I ‘m going to introduce about an autumn festival, and I researched about “Thanksgiving Day”.

This is one of holidays in America and Canada. This is called “Turkey day”, too. The day is fourth Saturday of November in America and is second Monday of October in Canada. There are some differences of habit between America and Canada.

Next are incidents in America and Canada around when the Thanksgiving Day started. The day started from in about1620. It was started by European who were called pilgrim. They arrive at America with ridding the Mayflower on December 26. After that they could spend safely for a year, and they thanked god for a good harvest. And Cornelius Drebbel invented the first submarine in Britain. And shogun Tokugawa Hidetada restored Osaka castle in Japan. And Thirty Year’s war (1618~1648) had continued.

Movie


I’m going to introduce about the movie. I have a movie to introduce. Click here. This is a trailer about "HANCOCK"


First, I tell you about “HANCOCK”. This movie was produced by Peter Berg. The main character is John Hancock. He is acted by Will Smith. At first, he was famous for a singer. But he began to appear on screen in 1992. His first movie he appeared in was “Where the Day Takes You”. After that he appeared in “Made in America” in 1993, and “Bad Boys” in 1995, and “Men in Black (MIB)” in 1997. They had a lot of hits, so he began to be famous as a screen actor. Others are Mary Embrey Charlize Theron acted and Ray Embrey Jason Bateman acted and so on.


Next, I introduce the story. The beginning, a robbery case happens. John Hancock flies in the sky and catch the criminal. But he cause big damage to the town. His everyday happening is like that. Even if he solves a barbaric crime, his reputation falls. At same time, Ray Embrey who works at PR Corporation makes a plan which is decorating the pink heart mark to an excellent company, but this plan are rejected. After that Ray is caught in a traffic jam, and his car is stuck in the railroad crossing. Then Hancock come and rescues him, but his car and the train broken down by Hancock. But he invites Hancock in his house. Hancock is blamed by the people who see this situation again due to this incident. He can’t get good reputation. Ray can’t see him because his reputation is falling down, so Ray produces his PR. That plan is apologizing to people for breaking their town and sent him to prison. And he has good manners. He changed to true hero from bad hero.


I still don’t watch it, so I want to watch it as soon as I can, and if you still don’t watch it too, I hope you watch it.

Summer Vacation


This summer vacation was very good. I went on a training camp with my club members from August 21 to 24. I went to Yudanaka in Nagano. This place is famous for hot spring. It took 4 hours to go there. First day, we played tennis, but it took 1 hour to go tennis court. When we arrived at tennis court, we were very tired. We started to play tennis from 2:00 p.m. The weather of first day was rainy. We practiced only an hour and a half. It was very sad. Our club chairman judged that we couldn’t play tennis because of rain. We returned to the hotel. I soaked soon. After that we had a barbecue. There were many beefs and vegetables. They were delicious, and we were happy. So we couldn’t play tennis such a long time, but we had a good time.

Second day, we went to tennis court to play tennis. Second day was great weather and very hot. Because we couldn’t play tennis in first day, we moved up schedule. So we started to do the games without following the procedure. The game was very exciting. This day I didn’t lose in the any games, so I was very happy. I think I contributed to my team. In the evening, today’s supper was curry and rice. But I had little appetite because I was exhausted by the games.

Third day was rainy and very cold. The temperature went down 16 degrees. We couldn’t stay at tennis court such a long time because we wore a T-shirt and knee trousers. But the weather became cloudy from afternoon. So we drained off on courts. It takes about one hour, so we were very tired. After that we resumed play, and we played tennis until 5:00 p.m. After that we returned to the hotel, and we began a drinking party. Everyone drank the alcoholic drink and got drunk. I also drank it. We enjoyed party, and most people didn’t sleep.

In last day, we couldn’t play tennis because we had drunk alcoholic drink one day before. I felt nausea. We prepared bags to return home town. We returned our home town after lunch. I think we had a good time in this training camp now, and I hope to go to the camp again.

Benefit of laugh

Laughter is born by communicating with other people. Brain is stimulated by laughing, and hormone is secreted. Laughing is good for relieving stress, and laugh make people surrounding us feel easy. Laugh can be divided in three kinds. First is that we laugh when we feel merry. Second is social laugh. This laugh is to communicate with other people. Third is to help to relieve the tension. A parasympathetic nervous system and circulation of the blood are stimulated by laughing.
