Mistakes

In the writing class, we checked each other's blogs. My blog was checked by Nana, so I will write about the mistakes. Especially, Nana checked my mistakes, for example, "Mr. Akiyama writes the explanations of songs more than 80." This mistake is "writes". The correct answer is "wrote", because this book was published about 20 years ago. Also, she found this mistake, about articles. I forgot "the" sometimes. I think this is caused by Japanese sentence. In Japanese sentence, the articles are not so important. We don't use "ある" and "その" so much, so Japanese student tend to forget to use articles. Also, I tend to use "in yesterday". This is not correct. This was checked by Mr. Richard on my blog, so I will take care of these mistakes, and I want to be able to write correct sentence in English.

Germany

   I studied German last year. I liked this language, and I want to study more. I don't know this country so much, but I want to study about this country this year, so I will write about German to study. 

   German's official name is Bundesrepublik Deutschland. The population is about 80,330,000. The official language is Deutsch. The president is Joachim Gauck, and the Prime Minister is Angela Dorotha Merkel. She is the first woman who is the Prime Minister in this country. In the North, there is Denmark, and there are Rzeczpospolita Polska and Czech Republic in east. In the south, there are Austria and Schweizerische, and there are France, Luxembourg, Kingdom of Belgium and Netherlands in the west. There are 16 states. I know only 4 states. In the 16 states, there are 5 states which have the meaning of 'free' in their name. The capital city is Berlin. Berlin has 3,431,675 people. The next capital city is Hamburg. When I see this letter, I thought this is ハンバーグ in Japanese. This is joke. Hamburg is the name of a place in German. Hamburg has 1,772,100 people. The connection to Japan started about 16 centuries. The relation is so important now. Especially, in the case of classical music has relation to Japan. In Japan, the Germany musician is known well. Especially,Bach, Mozart and Beethoven is most famous. However, my favorite composer is Brahms and Schumann. My favorite Brahms's works is symphony no.1, and my favorite Schumann's works is symphony no.4. My orchestra held concert last year, and then we did this symphony no.4. This was so cool, and I liked this song. If you had never listened this song, please listen to this one time!! Also, in the case of food, Germany beer is known very much in Japan. I am 19 yet, so I can't drink beers. I want to drink beers, when I will be 20. My sister likes the Germany beer, so I think the Germany beer is loved by the Japanese. Also, Vienna sausage is known very much too. As a result, Japan and German has relations in several points. I want to study about German more harder.

The Beatles

  I’ll write summary in English to practice English. I read “The guide of the Beatles’ works”. This is written by Naoki Akiyama. There are two reasons why I choose this book. First, because I didn’t know about the Beatles well, so I thought wanted to learn about the Beatles better. Next, because I had never read the book which is the guide books of someone’s works, so I wanted to try. What’s more, I heard that translations from English to Japanese are different with the indivisual. That’s why I wanted to understand the difference. This book is 2^nd book as “The guide of the Beatles’ works”. There are many information about the Beatles which didn’t write in first book. I think he loves the Beatles and their works and investigates. For example, he started to study English because he wanted to understand their songs’ meanings. According to him, he was good at English because of the Beatles. As Japanese proverb says “What one like, one will do best.” I think it is right. Also, I think it is good. I respect him because he has what he loves.  In this book, the author, Mr. Akiyama, writes the explanations of songs more than 80. For example he wrote the explanation of popular song, “Hello, goodbye”. This song is my favorite song of all their songs. Also, in the explanation of Real love, Mr. Akiyama says like this. “The words book is wrong because the authors misunderstand the meaning. The words book says “all my little panzer schemes”, but it is wrong, he says. This book says “All my little plans and schemes”. Also, the words book says “it’s real love, it’s really you”, but it is wrong. He says “It's real love. It's real”. I think he can hear the words rightly and understand the meanings rapidly. I want to be like him. So, I’ll listen to English song and understand the meaning of words rapidly. What’s more, I want to find what I love, for example, novels or music etc. After I read this book, I found how to improve my English skill. It is to search something which I like. This is what I learned in this book and the author, Mr. Akiyama.
