This fruits change the color seasonally. In spring, it becomes pink, in summer it becomes blue, in autumn it becomes orange, and in winter it becomes white. And inside of this fruits are yellow. This fruits is representative of this country, so the flag image of this fruits. And fresh juice of this fruits is very popular drink. The drink is also popular among visitors. Also fresh juice changes 5 colors seasonally. So we can enjoy watching the juice’s color. The fruits is very sweet, so also children like the juice too.

My trasure

My treasure is my younger sister. Her name is Kanon. She is a cute girl. And she is 9 years old. You know, she and I are far apart in age. So some people say to me are you her mother? You are young mother!! But it is wrong. I am close to my sister. We are also best friend. She talk me everything. For example, about friends, her dream, and boys. Also I talk to her everything. She practices golf when she entered to elementary school. She spoke to me that she wants to become Pro Golfer. I wish that she will become it. Actually, I have also younger brother. He is a high school student. Of Couse I am close to him too. But I wanted to have younger sister when I was child. So when I can have younger sister, I was really happy. My parents are very busy, so I sometimes go shopping, go for a walk with our dog, and go to the movies with her. But recently I can’t meet her, because I have part-time job, so I come back to my home late at night. Then she always sleeps. And when I get up, she has gone to school. I want to have time when I spend with her. And recently, she doesn’t like to go out with me. She likes to go out with her friends. I think that she wants to become an adult. It is sadly for me, but I know that it is general.

Cape Town

Hi, I’m Chisato Matsumoto. I want to talk about Cape Town. Do you know where Cape Town is? Cape Town is the second most populous city in South Africa. And this is Cape Town’s flag and seal. The design consists of a stylized image of Table Mountain in white on a background of blue in the top left section and green in the top right section. Below the Table Mountain image is a yellow "paint brush" horizontal stripe under which is a red section at the bottom of the flag. As of 2007 the city had an estimated population of 3,500,000. And these are Cape Town’s transportation. This is a Metrorail train, Taxi, and Station. This is Bo-Kaap. It is traditionally a multicultural area. This is Victoria and Alfred Waterfront. Prince Alfred, second son of Queen Victoria, began construction of the harbor in 1860. And this is Canal Walk. It is a big shopping center. This is the University of Cape Town. Cape Town is Mediterranean climate like California and parts of Western. And Cape Town enjoys with mild, moderately wet winters and dry, warm summers. Cape Town is very good place for sight-seeing and shopping. I recommend Cape Town to you. Thank you. (204/11919)

Shakespeare in Love (rewrite)

     I watched Shakespeare in Love. I wanted to watch a romantic drama film, so I chose this movie from three movies. This movie was released on December 3, 1998 in United States of America. This movie was directed by John Madden and written by Marc Norman and Tom Stoppard. Shakespeare in Love stars Gwyneth Paltrow as Viola de Lesseps, Joseph Fiennes as William Shakespeare, Geoffrey Rush as Philip Henslowe, Colin Firth as Lord Wessex, and Judi Dench as Queen Elizabeth. This movie cost $25 million to make. And it earned more than $289 million at the box office. The movie’s running time is 123 minutes. The story is fictional, but some characters are based on real people.
     First I explain the story. William Shakespeare was a playwright in London. When he held an audition for his new play, Viola de Lesseps auditioned it as a man. She introduced herself as Thomas Kent. And she played the part of Romeo. At the same time, Shakespeare loved Viola. Though he knew that she intended to get marry to Lord Wessex, so it was their secret love. But he realized that Thomas Kent is Viola. Before the play was put on the stage, the secret that Thomas Kent is Viola was exposed to everyone. Then, women perform in front of an audience was forbidden by the law. So Viola disappeared and Shakespeare played the part of Romeo. However the day when the play put on the stage, an actor as Juliet went through the period when a boy’s voice changed break. So he couldn’t play as Juliet. Viola remembered the play’s lines, so she played the part of Juliet. Romeo and Juliet was a success. And the Queen enjoyed Shakespeare’s play. The play was a success, but Viola had to get married to Wessex and went to America by a decree of the Queen. Also Shakespeare had to write a new play that is Twelfth Night by a decree. The story tells Viola’s new life.
     I think about the title of this movie. Shakespeare in Love means the story of Shakespeare who falls in Love with Viola.
     After I watched this movie, I felt a pain my chest, because Shakespeare and Viola couldn’t tie the knot though they were in love with each other and separated. I think that a man and a woman who are in love with each other should get married. Viola had to get married to Wessex. It was very difficult to accept and bear for Viola, but also Wessex was in a difficult position, because Viola didn’t love him. I can’t imagine I get married to a man who loves another person. However they could not avoid doing, because there were ranks that are person of high rank and low rank. A person of high rank could not get married to a person of low rank. I thought that the romantic story always will be happy end. So when I was watching this movie, I thought that Queen Elizabeth tell Viola that she may get married Shakespeare. In fact, she didn’t say that. I felt the rank is very important at the time. This story is not just touching story.
     This story tells we have to have a positive attitude in the future. If I was Shakespeare, I would lose spirit of my life and would do nothing. Nevertheless, Shakespeare began writing the new play that is Viola’s new life. He loved her forever as different form. He loved her without seeing. We have to have a positive attitude in the future like Shakespeare.
     And a lot of words that is used by Shakespeare’s literary work are used by this story. I felt the words of this story are very noble. My most memorable words are “And I love poetry above all.” and “If my hurt is to be that you'll write no more, then I shall be the sorrier. The Queen commands a comedy, Will, for Twelfth Night.” I understood Viola’s feeling from this script. She really loves poetry, so although performing a play is prohibited, she performed a play as a man. The deed was unlawfully and she was a woman of the peerage in Britain, so it was essential that she had to obey the law. And she said to Shakespeare that if her hurt is to be that he’ll write no more, then she shall be the sorrier. I thought that the script’s meaning is what it was very hard for them to part from each other, but they could have positive attitude because of what she said. By reason of what she said, he could write a new play about her new life and she could get married to other person and go to other place. The word has deeply meant.
     And I took an interest in costumes. This movie reproduces the seventeenth century’s clothes like dress with a corset and jewelry perfectly. The noble put on clothes matched a noble and the merchant put on clothes matched their position. I thought that there are a lot of nice stories, nice words, nice music, and nice costume in this movie, so it received many prizes like Academy Awards, British Academy Film Awards, and Golden Globe Awards. And even after the passage of 14 years, people all over the world love this movie.
     Immediately after I watched it, I just felt a pain my chest, but as I think about the story, I understood the real meaning. This story tells us positive attitude. We can’t have our own way in everything. Then we don’t have to feel down. In Japan, there are many suicides. I know that Shakespeare has depressed and desolate of soul and wanted to commit suicide. So we have to have positive attitude like Shakespeare and Viola. And a feeling of love towards the opposite sex has a great power. Contemporary person were not clear about the feeling including me, we should rethink about love. (994)
