I love Mochi!!!!!

Now I would like to tell you about Japanese food. I really love Mochi. Do you know them?
People call it Rice Cake in Britain. It is sticky and could stretch very long.
In Japan, everyone knows Mochi. Mochi could be eaten in various ways. For example, you can coat Mochi with soy bean flour, Kinako, or dip in the soy sauce and grill to eat. Also, Mochi is customarily eaten in the winter. However, mochi could be served at various events, such as Kagami Mochi, which is 3 stacked mochi, to celebrate a new year in January, or Hishimochi, the rhomboidal shaped mochi, at Hina Matsuri, Girls Day, in March or Kashiwa Mochi, the one wrapped in an oak leaf, at Tango no Sekku, Boy's Day in May、etc.
Mochi is very essential in Japanese diet. Moreover, it is one of the major food in Japan.
I would like many people to know Japanese Mochi.
When you have a chance, please try it!(165 words)

Jolly Pasta

I went to Jolly Pasta recently. Jolly Pasta is a chain of Italian restaurant.
I often go to Jolly Pasta in Kumamoto Inter or Ooe with my friend. I had a bad experience at Jolly Pasta in Kumamoto Inter. Jolly Pasta is a fast food restaurant, so they serve foods fast. I and my friend ordered salad and ice-cream. But they made us wait for about 30 minutes. The attitude of waiters was very bad, too. They entertained us without smile.
But Jolly Pasta is a very cheap restaurant, so I think I will go again when I don't have much money.(102 words)

All members should sit standing up on other chairs and it substitute it when saying, the demon is "Fruit basket".

We can change the world!!!

In the world, there are a lot of people who are alive in poor. For instance, there are about as many as 1.2 billion people (ten times the population of Japan) who are alive in little money of one dollar or less a day, too. Moreover, the saying frog and one child every about three seconds have died of poverty by about 30,000 people a day. In the earth, there is food for all members who live in the earth. There is a medicine that can treat a lot of sicknesses, too. It cannot eat the meal of every day, and it is not possible to cure, and people yet who live poorly die as would be better to be able to be cured though they are sick. Why does such poverty happen? When considering poverty, we often mention the bad financial situation that our revenues are low. But poverty has many other problems.
In addition to financial difficulty, we feel poor because we're removed from many social decisions. We feel that strongest when necessary basic rights for human lives are not allowed, we cannot control many aspects of our lives freely, we are in the position of having our powers stolen.
That kind of situation, unfair structure of society where people have their powers stolen and have disadvantage makes the fundamental reason for poverty.
That unfair structure is something we made.
In short, poverty is humans' disaster, don’t you think?
We think that a fundamental cause of poverty is in man's behavior. And, it is thought that poverty can do "Change it" by man's hand because the cause is in man's behavior.(273 words)

Essay 1-02b:Breakfast

I will talk about breakfast. According to our survey, 93.8% of our subjects eat breakfast while 6.2% do not. Whether to eat breakfast or not seems to be affected by what time one may get up. The majority of those who eat breakfast get up between 6 and 7 o'clock while it is between 7 and 8 o'clock among non-eaters. Those who eat breakfast tend to eat supper between 7 and 8 o'clock in the evening while those skip breakfast tend to eat late between 9 and 10 o'clock at night. Time to get up and time to eat breakfast indicate different different daily life patterns. I eat breakfast every day. How about you?

However, the differences do not stop there.
Skipping breakfast is a contributing factor to obesity and stress. A research conducted by A. Clark at Kellog between 1988 and 1994 showed lower BMI among those eat breakfast. Further, the research also indicated particularly lower BMI among those east meat and eggs for breakfast.

In our current society where obesity has become a major health issue, these results suggest ways to reduce BMI and thus obesity. Skipping breakfast leads to increased amount of lunch and supper or sweets for snacks resulting in excessive energy intake. Also, longer period of empty stomach encourages our bodies to absorb more nutrients. Food gorging can also heighten blood sugar levels and, if continued, lead to diabetes.

Night owls should change their life styles by getting up and going to bed early. In order to switch the morning life style, supper should be finished before 9 in the evening and no more food intake should be allowed thereafter. Low fat items should be the main part of breakfast. For those who cannot eat sufficient quantity, diary products such as milk and yoghurt or vegetable juice may be a good start and gradually move to banana, toast, cornflakes, rice balls, boiled eggs all of which take longer to digest. Stay away from too much "sweets" such as Danish pastry.

Once you have gotten in the habit of eating breakfast, nutritional balance should be fine-tuned by adding Natto, grilled fish, boiled vegetable to the basic rice and miso soup(vegetable and tofu are highly recommended). Breakfast plays a very important role. Once stomach starts functioning, our bodies become aware that it is time to get moving.(390 words)

Isn't "Manner Mode" Enough?

When I was a high school student, I took part in contest of a recitation in English.
This is an Essay. Look at this!!!

Do you have a cell phone? With a cell phone, you can make phone calls wherever you are, send and receive e-mail, take photos and even play games. Cell phones are very useful. Now more than half of all Japanese people have a cell phone.
About ten years ago, when people started to use cell phones, there were no rules about how to use them in public places. Gradually, rules were made. In 2003, 17 railway companies in the Tokyo area started asking passengers to obey this simple rule: turn off cell phones near priority seats, and set them to silent mode in other places on the train. The next year, 20 railway companies in the Kansai area followed the Tokyo companies' example.
Now, many people switch their cell phones to silent mode on trains, but few people turn them off. They say, "The phone won't ring out loud, so it won't cause trouble to others. Sometimes I'm waiting for an emergency call. Isn't it enough to set my cell phone to silent mode?"
In fact, the answer is no. The electromagnetic waves from cell phones are dangerous for some people. Even if you do not make a phone call, a cell phone keeps generating electromagnetic waves unless you turn it off. A cell phone could cause the malfunction of medical devices such as pacemakers. Pacemakers are used by people with heart problems. Some pacemaker users say, "I feel nervous just at the sight of someone with a cell phone, so I don't like getting on the train." For such people, it is essential that all passengers turn off their cell phones near priority seats.
Cell phones are still new in our society. We still need to think about the best ways to use them.

I was very keyed up then. So my legs trembled under me and forgot last part. But I could talk all things. Through this experience, I think I could grow up so much! I want to challenge a contest like this again someday if I get any opportunity.(367 words)
