Don't Eat Too Much Burgers

I started to use Twitter to get some up-to-date news articles a couple of days ago.

From the Twitter,today I found the surprising article below.

"Eating three or more fast food burgers a week is associated with a higher chance of having asthma."(ABC news)

Dove into maze...

Japanese Prime Minister Yukio Hatoyama resigned to give his Democratic Party (DPJ) a chance at a fresh start.

I'm just confused...
What do you think of his dicision?

The main cause of the resignation was the loss of support: financial scandal and policy missteps, especially the failure to move the Futenma Marine base, made the image toward DPJ worse and worse.

But how should we create better relationships with other countries? Perhaps it's inevitable to keep Japan-U.S. relationship as long as North Korea's nuclear problem is lying.

It's so difficult to choose the next Prime Minister and the party which is going to design our country Japan.

New CD



I bought a new CD on last Saturday because the Tower Records was in the triple point campaign. What I bought is the soundtrack of the Japanese drama "TRICK". Have you watched that drama?
TRICK is one of the most interesting dramas for me that I've ever watched. It's a suspense and comedy one, which is including a lot of unique parodies.
And now a new movie has been released. I'm eager to see it!!(>ω<)

What is the Longest Word in English?

Have you ever heard the word "Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious"? This long English word was in the song with the same title in the Disney musical film Mary Poppins.

But, if you search the longest word in your dictionary, you can find this below.

"Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis" (45 letters)

Perhaps you don't know this word, so let me take it apart.
・pneumono(肺の)
・ultra(超)
・microscopic(微細な)
・silico(ケイ素の)
・volcano(火山性の)
・coniosis(塵肺病)


.........Too long!!(@_@;)



But if you search the longest word through the Internet, you can find the crazier ones more and more. For example......

It's not a code but an English word meaning the scientific name for Trypthophan synthetase that is a protein with 267 amino acids.


Moreover, according to the Guinness World Records, deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is alleged to have 207,000 letters, but has never been printed in full. (^□^;)


Anyway, my favorite answer is "smiles" because there is a mile between the initial-s and the final-s.

Hey! I long for your smiles.

Busy for Studying...

Today I submitted the application for the Saitama Prefectural teacher appointment examination(埼玉県教員採用試験). Therefore, I need to take exams at Inagakuen Comprehensive upper secondary school on July 11th. I'm so concerned about it....(~_~;)

I cannot update my blog so frequently and have any time to make a long sentences till after passing that examination.

I make sure that I'll keep on my updating, but I always use some short sentences instead. And I'll set the title on each article when they are updated from my mobile phone.




Well, anyway, these sites are helpful to improve your English. The first one is managed by the professor of the History of the English Language at my university.

FMP

While I was in the monorail, I saw a really terrible scene.

A young looking mother(perhaps 25 or so) let her child sit on the floor and draw pictures despite the crowded train.

Why not the mother scolded her child?

Bad manners are created in this way...
