Garbage is the name given to all the things people. Other names for garbage are trush, rubbish and waste. In Australia, a person discharges a ton of garbage per one year. That is to say, a person takes out three kilograms garbage everyday. The garbage come from people’s home, Building sites, Council waste, and Business. The percentage is 43 percent from people’s home, 16 percent from Building sites, 5 percent from Council waste, 36 percent from Business. In the most big cities, the garbage is sent to transfer stations by the trucks. The garbage is distinguished three types. One is the garbage which can burn out. Second is the garbage which is sent to landfills. Third is the garbage which can be recycled. Recently, people think it is important to recycle for the earth. Because to burn out the garbage bring high temperatures, and the place for landfills are smaller year by year. So, people often use the bags called eco bag now in Japan.

BR#9 "Clothes Then and New"

Sometimes, our clothes tell other people something about us, such as the work we do or what religion we are or more things. First, people made clothes from animal skins on ancient times. They wore clothes to keep them warm. Over time, People learned to make fabrics from natural materials. People made fabrics from wool, cotton, or silk. Wools are made from sheep, cotton are made from cotton plants, and silk are made from silkworms. Today, clothes are made from natural and synthetic materials. Synthetic are light and strong.
I also love clothes. Especially, I have some money which I earned by a part time job, so I bought some clothes recently. I love one-piece dress. So, I bought one-piece dress or skirt these days.

BR#8 "Twins"

The name of twin came from ancient Greek “twine.” There are three type of twins, identical twins, fraternal twins, and conjoined twins. Identical twins have same DNA. This is made up of dividing single egg in the mother’s womb. So, almost twins look like each other. But, some of twins don’t look like. For example, one had curly hair and the other has straight, or one may be light hand and the other may be right hand. Fraternal twins don’t have same DNA. Two eggs grow up in the mother’s womb. This is occurred one per 125 couple of twins. Conjoined twins are joined together at a part of their bodies. This type is rare case. The famous twins are Chang and Eng Bunker. They was born in1811 in Thailand. The conjoined twins were sometimes called “Simese twins.” This is occurred one per 200 couple of identical twins.
There are twins near me. Almost the couple of twins who I met looks like each other. But, they don’t take after the character. So, I think it is very difficult to take after the character.

BR#7 "The Story of Cars"

For hundreds of years, people carried things by to push or pull. As early as the 1400s, an Italian inventor Leonardo da Vinci drew plans for a vehicle that was driven by clock work. Another Italian made a wind-powered tricycle, but this didn’t succeed. People had to wait 400 more years. In the 1700s, steam engines were invented. Nicolas-Joseph Cugnot tried using one to power a cart. Thirty years later, Richard Trevithick had an idea that it used a steam engine to pull a wagon along iron track. This idea became the train. His friend, Sir Goldsworthy Gurney designed a steam passenger coach that didn’t need tracks. In 1886, German engineer Karl Benz designed and built the first petrol-driven vehicle. It had three wheels, one seat and a small engine at the back. Then, many people improved the cars. Now, engineers are inventing cars that won’t pollute the air. They might run on energy from sun or give off water instead of nasty fumes. And, the cars used electricity are sold. The cars were formed by the power of many people for the long time.

MR#4 "Romeo and Juliet"

One day, Romeo met Juliet at a party. Romeo loved another girl before he met Juliet. But Romeo fell in love with Juliet at first sight. They married in secret. After a while, Romeo and his friends met the people from the House of Capulet, and Mercutio, who was a friend of Romeo, was killed by Tybalt. So, Romeo murdered Tybalt who was a cousin of Juliet. Romeo was banished. Juliet cried over that fact. At the same time, Juliet was ordered to marry Count Paris. Juliet consulted Laurence, and got a plan used a drug to create a death-like coma. Juliet wrote to Romeo about this plan, but the letter didn’t reach him. So, Romeo mistakenly thought Juliet was dead, and Drunk a poison. While Juliet awake, she saw Romeo. Juliet committed suicide by Romeo’s gun. Their parents knew their death, and reconciled.
Romeo is capricious. They fell in love at first sight, and they died for love. Even thought they were young, I couldn’t do the same thing. I can’t commit suicide for love. Surely, I will grieve and cry if the person who I love died. But I will not kill myself. Juliet chose the way to die. I think she was foolish. I can’t understand the parents of Romeo and Juliet. I can’t know why they detested each other so much. I think that it is good without feelings of hatred to another human being.
This story is very famous. But, I watched this movie at first in a class of English literature the last year. I haven’t known that Romeo loved another girl. I was very surprised by this fact. I thought Romeo and Juliet may be 18 years old before I saw this movie. But, Romeo was 16 yeas old, and Juliet was 13 years old. In those days, it was natural that the girls and boys who were about 14 years old to get married. I think that the young people can decide the future themselves.

MR#3 "Brassed Off"

This movie was a story on a town of coal miners. This town’s name is Grimley. Gloria, who lived in the town when she was young came back to the town. She had a flugelhorn. She took the advice of the owner of her rooming house to play with the local brass band called the Grimley Colliery Band. She performed with wonderful skill in front of the band members, and she became one of the band members. All the band members expect Gloria were men, and they worked at the coal mine. First, they didn’t know Gloria’s work office, so they were getting along very nicely. But, one day, they noticed that she worked for the management company. Their hearts were broken. Meanwhile, Danny who was the conductor of the band suffered pneumoconiosis, a desease from working in the coal mind, and went into a hospital. It decided to close the coal mine. So, all the band members gave up the final of the national brass band competition. But, Gloria encouraged band members and helped them go to the competition. The performance was a success, but their coal mine was closed when they came back their town.
There is not one main character in this movie. All members of the band are main characters. There are some love scenes between Alan and Gloria, but this main story is about coal miners. I think the miners were poor people. Alan is the youngest man in the band. Gloria is only woman player in the band. And, she worked at the management company whereas the other band members worked in the coal mine. Danny is the conductor of the band, and he is Phil’s father. Phil is also a band member. He played trombone. Everyone lived with all their might.
In this movie, this story isn’t fiction. Hundreds of thousands of miners were discharged in fact. I think this fact was very sad. Now, I can live very comfortable, but there were the pains of the person at the bottom of the convenient life.

However Remy’s dish satisfied Anton Ego who is a cooking commentator, but the fact that there was rat in the restaurant was discovered by Skinner and the restaurant was closed. But, Remy and Linguini opened the new restaurant with Ego’s help.

Peter, Amy, Archie, Lily, Louie are friends. One day, they had a problem. They couldn’t find the place for playing. Then, Amy suggested to make a clubhouse. Lily soon agreed with Amy. Other three boys disagreed at first, but they started making that. First, they moved a lot of trash. They went to Mrs. Lopez’s store, they got some wood. And, they borrowed hammer and nails from Mr. Frank. Finally, the clubhouse completed. They decided they did a party. They bought something to eat using everyone’s money.
I think that kids’ thinking is very interesting. I can’t come up with making a clubhouse. Kids are good about invention. All adults in this story are good men and women. It’s good to offer the tools used for making the clubhouse for free.

MR#1 High School Musical

First, I’ll introduce the story of this movie. One day, Troy and Gabriella met in a party. They were made to sing together. At first, they were unwilling. But, while they sang, they enjoyed singing with each other. They exchanged their mobile number. After the winter vacation, she transferred to East High School which he was registered and they met again. Troy is a boy loving basketball, and Gabriella is a girl who is interested in studying before they sang together at that night. They become interested singing, and took part in an audition which is for the musical at the school. But, Troy had a basketball game near at hand, and Gabriella had a science contest as well. Once, they gave up, but they got the major roles with their friend’s help.
Next, I think the couple Troy and Gabriella are a very nice couple. They were separated by their friends, but they believed in each other and they were together again. I thought that the power of believing is wonderful. All of casts’ dances and songs were very cool. But, I think that it was so hard to make this movie. Gabriella’s singing voice is very beautiful, and I like it.
In this movie, there are many bonds. For example, it’s about friends or steady relationships or sometimes brothers. I want to be back in high school days while I watched this movie.

People use the pointed edge of a wedge to split things apart. And the axe head can cut through wood, and the chisel can cut through wood with a hammer can also cut through stone. The screw is helped when we hold objects. The axle is made up of wheels. When either the wheel or axle is turned, the other part also turns, making work easier. The pulley is like the wheel and axle. At the end of the rope or chain is a hook that can be attached to a heavy object. All of these tool was made by ancient people. The wisdom of the old person is grate!
