Sky Tower! August 5th

Today, I went to school by bus at 8:30. We went to Sky Tower. Sky Tower is the highest tower in the southern hemisphere. When I saw the Sky Tower, I was very surprised at it. Because it was very tall! I took many pictures of it. We went up to the tower. The view from the tower was splendid. We could see around the Auckland. It was great. Sea was large! Sky tower has some clear windows on the floor, so we could see under! It was very fearful, but I enjoyed very nice time in Sky Tower. I want to go there again at night. It must be beautiful view at night!

Website Review01: iPhone


Recently, many people have a cell phone in the world. Cell phones are very important things for us. In the world, most popular and famous cell phone is iPhone. So I recommend this website. This is iPhone’s website. I had known “iPhone”, but only name of it. I wanted to know about it.

“iPhone” are available now in about 42 countries. For example, Canada, Australia, France, Italy, Peru, South Africa, UK, Mexico, New Zealand, Brazil, Germany, Hong Kong and so on. Of course Japan too. And iPhone are coming soon to more countries. A lot of countries have iPhone, so we can exchange e-mail to foreigners by it. And they add more languages support. Those are English, French, German, Japanese, Dutch, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, Danish, Finnish, Norwegian, Swedish, Korean, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Russian, and Polish.

When I went to New Zealand, my friend who is Brazilian had an iPhone. It looked very cool. I became to want to it, because only I touched the screen, I could operate it. And we can listen to many kind of music by iPod. We can enjoy music and video on a widescreen display and shop for music with a tap. We can use real internet (Safari), calendar, GPS-powered maps, and to check weather anywhere. They have more functions. Of course, we can take many photes, and calling. This website says, “With iPhone, making a call is as simple as tapping a name or number. All your contacts appear in a list you scroll through with a flick of your finger. And Visual Voicemail plays your messages in any order you want, just like email.”

They are the best phone for business. According to this website, “What makes iPhone a great business phone? Simple. The same features that make it a revolutionary mobile device. With iPhone 2.0 software, iPhone does even more for your enterprise. It supports Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync, delivering push email, calendar, and contacts. And it gives mobile users secure access to corporate resources with Cisco IPSec VPN and wireless network services with WPA2 Enterprise and 802.1X authentication.” iPhone are also available when I work.

Many people say that Japanese cell-phones are good, but Smart phones are better than those. We can be more global and broad wide. We can use many unique functions. And they are very useful for business. After this research, I became to want to it more. If I have enough money, I will buy it soon.

August 4th in Unitec!!!

Today, I went to school at 9am. I went on foot, so I was very tired. It took me 40 minutes. When I met my friends, I was very relieved, because I don’t have to speak English! Of course, I like English. But I think New Zealand’s English is very difficult. I don’t understand what they say…I want to speak English more. So I will try to speak it more!

In Unitec, I took a test to divide 2 classes. It was easy first, but I was very sleepy and I didn’t have enough time to answer questions. So I could not write all. Then, we made a country in my class. We had to make an unique country, so we made a “Sky Country”. It is very strange country. People eat birds, clouds races, snow ice cream and drink rain. People speak “Sky English”. Do you know “Sky English”? :-) This language is very easy for you. We have to put on “sky” before a word. For example, you want to say “hello”, you should say “Sky hello!” in this language. It is so funny! People look like angels in this country. People have wings, and they can fly! They live in sky, of course. It was very interesting class! At 4pm, our class finished, so we have to go home. I went home by bus. It was first time to take a bus, so I was very nervous. I met my friends, Keiko and Mari at bus stop. It was lucky for me. They told me how to ride a bus. The bus stopped in front of my house. It was very very near! Today, I ate curry in dinner. My host father cooked it. He said “I’m best cook!” He is very funny man. I love him. The curry was different of Japanese curry, it tastes OK! I had homework from my class, so I asked international students in my house. One is a German girl whose name is Sophia, another person is a Brazilian boy whose name is Daniel. Both of them are 16 years old and they can speak English very well! I envy them. They helped me my homework.

Typing-12: What I think about blogging

I think to write blog in English is good for me. I could have chance to use English. Blogging is interesting, because I can show some pictures and my life. I often forget what to do the day, so blogging is important for me. I can remember what to do every day by my blogs. But sometimes I don’t like blogging, because I’m lazy. I am not a diligent, so I felt bother to write blogs. I am not good at writing English long words. It is difficult that I write 10,000 words in this semester. I will try to hard it.
