"Hunting" should be illegal or not

 I believe that hunting is a complex issue with both moral and practical considerations. 

The first thing I thought was that hunting should be illegal. A lot of people believe that animals have a right to live freely. Actually, some species are facing extinction or have already disappeared from the earth due to humans’ overhunting. It is also one of the reasons for damaging the biological pyramid, which is a problem for humans as a result of its negative effects. 

If hunting is illegal, poachers would be punished strictly. It would protect extinct animals, then I believe it may return to us with good effects for humans.

On the other hand, I think it is necessary to hunt, and it shouldn’t be illegal.

Hunting can help manage wildlife populations, preventing overpopulation. It is kept in balance of ecology. Take an example, the number of deer and wild boars has increased, leading them to go to urban areas to search for food. There is a rising number of accidents with trains and cars. Also, they are causing significant damage to agriculture, forestry, and fisheries. 

From the perspective of human culture, hunting is not only a traditional practice but also an important part of way of life. Hunting provides food, clothing, and materials for various traditional crafts. Additionally, it is often relations with ceremonies that celebrate the relationship between humans and nature. 

Ultimately, I think whether hunting should be illegal depends on various factors.

The wonderful character in my workplace

 Let me introduce you to the member of my workplace! 

Tomoko-san is our manager. She is thoughtful. She has a wide perspective and she always helps us when we are in trouble. I think that it is wonderful how she expresses her opinions logically and confidently to anyone.

Miyuki-san is my supervisor. She is bright. Although her jobs seem very hard, she is always cheerful and keep smiling. I am able to get power from her! She thanks people for even the small things. I think she is a really kind person.

Ritsuko-san is my direct supervisor. She is kind and sedulous. She always answers my any question. Thanks to her, I have been able to learn many things about the details of my work. I think she is good at work. I want to be hard-working as Ritsuko-san in future!

There are also many other wonderful, kind, and cool people working at my workplace. I have a lot of respect for all of them!

How do you think about "Hunting"?

 We sometimes encounter wild animals due to some reasons. Wild animals may come near human dwellings to search for food as they are unable to find it in their territories due to climate changes and natural disasters. Humans may build their homes in the area where wild animals live.

I think that hunting is not immoral and shouldn't be illegal. Wild animals will face more challenges in finding food in the future due to climate changes and natural disasters. It is common knowledge that wild animals only search for food and do not intend to harm humans. To make wild animals aware of the danger of approaching human dwellings, it's best to return them to their area and to protect wild animals’ lives. However, wild animals have a habit of coming back again if they have tasted once. Thus, we will need to use Hunting continuously to protect people’s lives.

Each community should control land utilization and development plans (also known as land adjustment plans) to distinguish between areas where people and wild animals live. And then, if necessary, I think that hunting should be kept to the minimum needed to protect people's lives, taking into consideration the ecological effect.

These are why Hunting is not immoral and should not be illegal for me.

The End of the Phantom: Erik

After a long talk, Raoul and Christine took Erik with them to Norway. They built a large house beside a beautiful lake. Erik was a clever architect so he made their house nice and comfortable and kept their privacy quite well.

There was a small concert hall at their house and Christine sang her beautiful voice from time to time.

With her most generous and loving heart, Christine looked after Erik well, he had the happiest time of his life and passed away peacefully next year.

Raoul and Christine had three lovely daughters. They also had beautiful voices. The Raoul family became very popular for their musical talent, they were invited to the Opera house in Pairs. Their wonderful performance remained in the hearts of many Parisian and Parisienne for a long time.

Ireland - after reading

I’m interested in lots of places in Ireland.

They have big nature, different view of coast to Japan’s.

Since they have a long history, they have old castle, too.

They had been a battle for a long time because of religious problem, Protestant and Catholic.

It must be hard for them to insist and keep their faith during the time.

They are brave and amenability.

The battle is not over. It’s just lulled.

However, Ireland people naturally like peace and nature.

They have pub and entertainment like river dance.

They meant me that it’s worth to visit there.

Ghost Storyes

Dear my friends,,

This is a third reading books for me.

I interested in this stories but I hate a ghost.

The most interesting story is "The stranger in the Mist"

He wanted to rescue travellers who had lost their way.

But he had a copy of a very old,out -of -date map.

This story say that his spirit still walks among the hills,

searching for lost travellers.

If MADOG had a new map,he would be a Hero.

He was a good ,kind man.

Next favorite story is "Smee".

I realised that　thirteenth　was　Brenda Ford who broke her neck on the stairs.

She would like to play with them.

At last I felt that absolutely terrifying story was "The judge's House".

There at end of the bell rope hung the body of MOORE.

The judge's House judged "NO"

Please read this book.

The Garden Party and Other Stories

These stories are difficult a bit for me. Backgrounds of these are not familiar to me. Maybe that makes me difficult to understand. However, these are all quite interesting and it is a kind of thought-provoking book. My favorite story is “The Garden Party”. The story puts questions to us what is human happiness, life and important thing to us. Ikaros, (24 May 2009)

Books galore

With a pile of books this deep it must be time for this season's business classes to get started. Once again, we will be getting busy in class with all manner of communicative exchanges, developing our everyday language skills and in many cases focusing on work-related topics in particular.

Outside of class, there will be plenty of reading; this time we are mixing up the readers with titles from OUP's Bookworms series, CUP's catalogue, Penguin's movie tie-ins, and newly adopted Macmillan's hot-looking red readers. I'm looking forward to a stream of good posting here. I think it's great that students of all levels and abilities can get stuck into a good book.
