Importance of sleep

January 15, 2008

     Humans spend almost 30 percent of their life sleeping. In 1879, American electrician Thomas Edison invited light bulb. It was amazing, so we could use light anytime. In addition, it was revolutionary incident. In particular for people in developed countries, daily life has changed dramatically in several ways. For example, modern people can work and play through night. However, then a new problem arose about human health.

     In modern society, office workers tend to work overtime. The reason why they work overtime is the invention of light. There are many advantages for our life. Of course the light is necessity. If it didn’t invent, we can’t act, use cars and see something. In contrary, because of invention we can do whatever I want at night.

     In my case, recently, I often play with my friend through night. For example, we go to “Round1”to play bowling. It is very enjoyable. Afterwards, we go to school next day. I think it’s bad for our bodies. Also, our natural diel rhythm is broken. The light is certainly important item but to play at night is not good for our bodies at all. When I play through night, I can’t concentrate on class. I think that physical tiredness and brain tiredness are same.

     Recently, we work and play late night. As a result, there are few differences between required rhythm and body’s rhythm. As a result, problems arise about human health. Of course insomnia. In addition, when we stay up, our thinking ability is lower than regular people.

     I think that sleep is most important for humans. We should try to change our sleep habit. If we are deprive of sleep, we can’t act as usual. I tend to change my life style during long vacation because I’m not tired.  Sleeping is help us to spend a good time.

Education

November 11, 2007

   Nowadays, there are many education system all over the world. I read the “Summerhill” story. I thought Summerhill is good system but if I were go to this school, I can’t live at my own pace because I need strict education. In Japan there are many people like me. I think we need strict rules and regulations each school like punishment for people who break the rules. I think students should obey professor.

   At college, professor has professional skills each field. For example, Japanese English grammar professor is a specialist about English grammar. In this university, one of my Japanese professors said “I’m a specialist about English. Ask me any kinds of questions. I have confidence that I’m the smartest about English.” When I asked him, he can answer all questions. He’s not parlor. Of course we respect his English skills. He must made effort for a long time. However, perhaps he’s not good at another subject. Professor can do only one field but level is very higher than other people so we have to obey him during class.

   I think instructor like professor should have not only special field but also moral. When I was sophomore, one of my professors said”We make student become a good member of society. There are many bad professors in this university. To make a good person is our duty.” There are such a good professors in each college. Students have to find a good professor and talk them. College is not compulsory education so we must act ourselves.

   I will introduce two education systems I’ve had. When I was freshman, I learned English words, listening and reading by using computer. We solve the questions and we can check the answer afterwards. The professor can check how student advance our learning. If we cheat, professor can check so we must do without cheating. It was very nice system. We called this computer system “e-learning”. It carries out only Hotani campus. Another one is extensive reading. We go to the library and read the English book. There are various levels. If I read easy book, It counts 0.5 per 1page. However, if I read difficult book, I can count double. By the way, I read difficult book. We continued a year this two systems. As a result, I can read English story smoothly. I think it was good attempt so I want this college to continue this system.

   Thus, this university is superior to linguistics so many humorous class. Professor should also tell us a moral of society. It helps our job hunting. If we skip a class or play truant many times, we can’t talk our school days. We can’t help telling a lie at a job interview. I think telling a lie is the worst habit for people.

Summer Vacation

November 11, 2007

   I was looking for this summer vacation. Because I retired Hotani’s baseball club, so I have much free time. I’ve never spent a free summer vacation because of baseball practice. I’ve been playing baseball for ten years. However I’ve never attend a big tournament like all Japan tournaments. When I entered university, I wanted to continue to play baseball. My all teammates said that I want to attend all Japan tournaments. We were gathered with same thought. Of course I thought so. But it is not easy to attend all Japan tournaments. Because we started second class, so first of all we have to promote to first class. If we want to promote first class, we must become a champion at second class. When we were sophomore, we became a champion at second class. We pleased with sincerely. The spring league has taken place. We already decided to retire end of this league, so this spring league is last chance for us junior. Fortunately we finally become league champion. As a result we could attend all Japan tournaments in August hold in Tokyo. It is the first time for Kansai Gaidai university baseball club to attend big tournaments. We realized our dream was becoming champion. We thought that we need more practice to win all Japan tournaments. We noticed that there are many famous university teams like Waseda, and Keio. But I wanted to compete with such a famous university. We became compete with Tohoku Social Welfare College. It is one of famous university team in Japan. As a result, we lost 6 to 1 but we had a good time. All of teammates were not regret. Then our baseball life as a student finished. Next day we went sightseeing and went shopping in Yokohama prefecture. Afterwards I went home and relaxed.

   Another day, I went to Yamaguchi prefecture to meet my grandmother with my family. It was three days trip. It is annual activity for my family. We went to there by Shinkansen and bus. My grandmother’s house is located country area. There are many trees and flesh air. We took a natural hot spring and felt flesh. I talked with grandmother and she looked like weaker compared with before, but she talked to me aggressively. I spent a good time. Next day I went to shrine called Houfu Tenmangu. It is very famous for the god of study in Japan. We visit here every year. On our way home we went shopping and ate sushi. I thought that I want to come back Yamaguchi prefecture next year. I thought so every year.

   Another day, I went to USJ two times with my friends. The reason why we wanted to go USJ was there are new roller coasters called”Hollywood dream the ride”. It is famous for we can listen to the music when we take a Hollywood dream the ride. We can choose any kinds of music. It was very excited and amazing but we were tired because we waited an hour to take. Afterwards we took another attractive vehicle and waited long time to take. We were too tired to move, so we ate ice creams mixed pumpkin. This ice cream was sold only this season. It was very delicious. By the way, when the summer vacation finished, I thought I ate delicious food too much without exercise. I noticed that it is cause of fat. I may need to lose weight and more exercise. In fact, I ate whenever I want. Afterwards I tended to avoid fried food. I think it is good attempt for my health. Owing to retirement of baseball club, I don’t do the exercise but have more free time. I can go shopping whenever I want. I can do whatever I want. I don’t know which is better for me whether continue to play baseball or not.
