I’m going to write about the School of rock. This movie was released in 2003 and the
Hero’s name was Dewey. I had never seen it before, but I watched it two days ago with
my friend. First of all, I really like it very much, because it’s so funny and the roles in
this film were very talkative.
I think HOLLYWOOD is really good at making musical comedy like this!
Plot is quite simple but interesting.
The main character is a rock singer and guitarist who is always working hard. He
performs really passionately on stage but his hyperactive performance was too stressful
for his band mates who just want to make a common debut.
Being kicked out of the band, the rocker had no job and tired of making money to pay
his rent.
He started to work in a prestigious prep school as a substitute teacher without any
licenses (He pretended to be his friend Ned!!) He even got a drunk on his first day of
class because of the habit of drinking much wine everyday. At this moment, an
interesting dialogue happened between him and his student.
Dewey: All right, look, here's the deal. I've got a drunk. Who knows what that
means?"
I laughed a lot when I watched this.
At first, he was really apathetic in his class. But when he recognized that the children
in his class had musical talent, he tried to “educate” them with his abundant knowledge
of rock!
Even though I am not familiar with rock music, this film is riveting！
The Children’s performance was awesome. Every line in this film is really fun and
provoking!
You know, I mean・・・this movie is exactly ROCKING!!!! I love Rock When I watched this movie.

British English of the Middle Ages.
1. Introduction
Do you know the history of English in the middle Ages? The Ages started in 1150 and finished in the 1500. In the Middle Ages, English came from Denmark with different words, spelling and pronunciation. According to Latin Influence on English (wikipedia, 2011), however “a significant portion of the English comes from Romance and Latinate sources. Estimates of native words (derived from Old English) range from 20%–33%, with the rest made up of foreign borrowings .” That is the origin of Old English itself is Germanic, the origins of many English words can be traced back to Latin as ample. This report will try to find references to compare English in the Middle Ages with Modern English.
Old English came from the invading Germanic tribes. According to the Oxford English Dictionary “about half of Modern English words have Old English roots. Strong and water, for example, derive from Old English.” Old English was spoken until around 1100.
English in the middle age is very different from modern English in both pronunciation and vocabulary. Modern English has much more words phrases than English in middle age. Lots of new words begin invented everyday and become popular very quickly. While some old words in traditional English was extinct that even native English speakers couldn’t tell its meaning.
English in the Middle Ages was seldom influenced by other languages, except French and German. By contrast, Modern English is much more influenced by other languages. It has been globalized and influenced by nearly all the languages around the world.
This report will especially focus on the names of animals. The sources of research I will use are The Oxford English Dictionary online from Oxford University Press located in London, UK. I will compare animals names from French, Latin and German. This will produce results in line with my research. My report consists of five parts, a brief introduction, influence of French on Middle English (1100-1400), research of OED search animal vocabulary, Conclusion and Bibliography.
2 Influence of French on Middle English
In 1066, William, the Duke of Normandy of France invaded and conquered England entirely. The invasion affected England deeply especially in language. Because of that, English was changed into French-speaking and added many new words from French. Many of them were kept to present English.
3. Animal Vocabulary from French and German
In English many animals are expressed with two words—a noun from latin or french and an adjective from French or Latin. For example, use Italia’s cames from Germanic, and anguine (meaning snake-like) 1657 from Latin.
These words came from Latin or Germanic , This list was taken from Freeborn, D. (1992). This list shows us some English nouns and adjectives for animals coming from Latin or German. The left column are some nouns and the right columns are some adjective words.
The old English was affected by old German deeply during 9-12 century, earlier than the Norman conquest of England in 1066, so the nouns are almost all before 1066, and come from Germanic. The old German was used in Western coast of Europe and some places of Denmark. Those two languages influenced each other at that time. As seen in the left half of the table, Many English nouns came from Germanic and keeps till today. HOW MANY FROM DUTCH, FRENCH, OTHER LANGUAGES? WHEN DID THEY COME? WHAT EXAMPLES ARE AFTER 1066?
On the other hand, the animal adjectives mostly come from Latin or French (Anglo Norman) WHEN DID THEY COME?
4. Conclusion
Old English is very different from modern English. The vocabulary in Modern English has more words and phrases than that of English from the middle ages. A lot of new words, often slang, are invented everyday and they become popular very quickly.
English is a Germanic language, which has grammar and lots of vocabulary from Proto-Germanic. However, a meaningful part of the spoken language comes from Romance and Latinate sources. Estimates of native words (those of Germanic origin) range from 20%–33% with the rest made up of foreign borrowings .
A large number of those borrowed words come directly from Latin, like formic in 1792 or through one of the Romance languages, particularly Anglo-Norman and French 例文を出して. These were transferred into Latin and then into English. Only one example came from Middle Dutch ( ). The influence of Latin in English, therefore, is shown in the nature of the words and the expressions used by English people. This is because mainly have their roots from Latin words.
Modern English has many more word and phrases than English in middle age. Lots of new words begin invented every day and become popular very quickly. On the other word some old words in traditional English became extinct so even native English speakers couldn’t tell their todays. English in the Middle Ages was seldom influenced by other languages, except French and German. By contrast, Modern English is much more influenced by other languages. It has been globalized and influenced by nearly all the languages around the words.

Toy Story one
I’m going to write about the first Toy Story. This movie had released in 1995. I had
never seen it before, but I watched it last week. The movie is start bedroom that come to life when nobody is around. One day, Andy gets the space man toy,
and the toy’s name is as a birthday present. Woody, a cowboy doll
becomes jealous when Andy starts playing with Buzz more than him. What frustrates
Woody even more is how Buzz thinks he is a real space man who can fly using plastic
wings and shoot lasers out of the light on his wrist.
The tension grows to a point where Woody knocks Buzz out the bedroom window before
Andy goes to the restaurant Pizza Planet. This greatly upsets the other toys, but
before they can do anything, Andy takes Woody with him to Pizza Planet. Buzz, who
was not hurt from his fall , sneaks into the car and attacks Woody at a gas station.
During the fight, they fall out of the car and are left behind.
To catch up, they climb onto a pizza delivery truck to the restaurant. While there, they
become stuck in a UFO catcher where Sid, Andy’s neighbor, catches Woody and Buzz
and takes them to his house. Sid is well known to Andy’s toys next door for blowing up
and taking toys apart. They make friends with the mutant toys of Sid’s room and plot
an escape before Andy and his mother move to a new house. Buzz also finally realizes
he is not really a space ranger when he tries to fly by jumping off some stairs and falling
to the tile floor below. This snaps his arm off.
Sid plans to blow Buzz up by taping him to a mail-order rocket. The day before launch,
the mutant toys fix Buzz by reattaching his arm. On the day Sid plans to launch the
rocket, Woody plans to free Buzz and escape with help of Sid’s toys. They come to life
in front of Sid, scaring him away. Woody and Buzz then escape to find the moving van
is leaving. Woody makes it into the back of the van, but Buzz is left behind when he
saves Woody from Sid’s dog. Woody tries to rescue Buzz by throwing a remote control
car out the back of the van and using it to rescue Buzz. The other toys don’t trust him
though and toss Woody out. Buzz and Woody then try to catch up to the van using the
remote control car. The other toys see what they had done and try to help, but the
remote control’s batteries run out. Woody then lights the rocket using sunlight and
Buzz’s helmet. When they catch up to the van, Woody lets go of remote control car,
which knocks Mr. Potato Head and the other toys into the back of the van. Woody and
Buzz shoot straight into the air, and before the rocket explodes Buzz cuts the tape by
opening the wings on his back. Buzz glides over the moving van with Woody in his
arms and they land in the family car through the sunroof, right next to Andy. The
movie skips to Christmas, where Andy gets small dog as a present.

V1 summer vacation plan
I’m going to write about my summer vacation plan, though I have not determined it fully. Summer vacation is a long time and coming soon. But I don't know how to spend my long summer holidays. Life of laziness every day is not what I want. So I plan to go to Kyoto and Fukuoka because my cousins living there and they will not come to my house from Tokyo this year. After I arriving at Kyoto, I will go and watch Mountain Arashi and try to climb it to the top of the mountain. Besides, I am sure that I will eat much good-tasting foods, which I like very much. In Fukuoka, it has been a long time that I have not met my friends and gone drinking with them. I can’t wait to meet them!
Also there may be other plans, such as getting a driver license in somewhere during the summer vacation.
