In this year, I has received a lesson of GLIP. In classes I write a blog using the English, or a speech, has been engaged in a variety of learning. But, to tell you the truth, I think my English ability is not much growth. This is because my motivation was not very high.
The contents of the class was very interesting. Classmates are all excellent, they have a firm thinking of each. I was always surprised at the height of the completeness of the content of the speech of Arashi. Even though I am in such an ideal environment, I have delayed writing a blog because there is preparation and review of other classes, or break my physical condition, and I did not show much enthusiasm continue to learn voluntarily. I think I've been that waste. Surely, the results of my TOEIC would become down. Now I'm really regret my attitude of this year. In next year, I want to use the ELC more voluntarily, and keep English ability. 青灯無鐘 Sei-to-mu-syo: December 10, 2014, three Japanese engineers was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics in the invention of the blue LED. 増税八率 zou-zei-hachi-ritsu: April 1, 2014, consumption tax was raised to 8 percent. sources:

He was turned local politician from furniture exporter. As mayor of Surakarta in Central Java and governor in Jakarta, the capital of Indonesia, he was highly evaluated to have ability to enhance the transparency of government in order to eliminate the corruption. Jokowi is the president of the people faction that was not in Indonesia so far, so he is expected to accelerate the Innovation in Indonesia. Jokowi is ran to Indonesia presidential election that was held on July 7, 2014. He mainly fought with Prabowo Subianto. Prabowo was once soldier and he has been strongly influenced by the Suharto. When East Timor independence, he led the covert military, massacre of citizens. On the contrary, Jokowi was born in a poor family, is a veritable people faction. Being apart from Indonesian traditional political leaders that are the elite and graduates, he attracted support. Jokowi was cited realization of regional development and integrity of government as commitment. This year, I expect to his skills as a politician. source :

300,000 yen (for 10 hand carts that cost 3000 yen) Today I introduce my new project. That is "Deputy Buying-in." This project is for 1st-grade students in TUFS during Gaigo Sai.
Briefly, our work is doing buying-in instead of you! When you cook or wait on customers, we go to stores and buy goods, moreover carry deliver them to your house or fridges. Cost is five hundred yen per one day. However, we have to collect money! We must buy hand carts to make our work smooth. If you find for our project, you can Use our service at a discount! Please fund for our project. During gaigosai period, I was making the Indonesian cuisine in our restaurant. Compared to the number of us in the Indonesian language department, the number of dishes that we decided that we make in gaigosai was very large. So, we had to make each dish with a small number of people in divided teams.
We every day in gaigosai period, for Preparing of cooking for the next day, go to purchase from an early time. To do this, we had to get a member of the team to be away from our shop to Musashi-sakai. we had to reduce the number of people more. This is reason why I came up the project of Deputy Buying-in. First, we are divided all of the members of the Indonesian Department, made some team. It's for making each of cuisine in each team. And in summer vacation, we, in each of the team that we belong, began trial and error that is how to make to the assigned cuisine. I first, had belonged to the team to make the sate ayam (Indonesian yakitori). members of the sate team gathered in my house, and discussed such as how to cut chicken , or how to seasoning the source.
Summer vacation is dawn, discussions also unity well, even when it is that keep trying the prototype, the problem occurred. I was informed that another team of Indonesian Department suffers from a problem by the store manager. She said that because all members of the team of soto ayam (Indonesian vegetable soup) live home with family and they usually go TUFS from there, it is difficult to find a place to a charge of cooking during the period of the Gaigo-Sai Festival near the university. " " so, I would like you who are living in Tama to move to soto ayam team." I accept this request immediately, and, trial and charged of cuisine, sales in actual Gaigo-Sai festival went well. But, though the fact that whether the members of the team are living where is very important, we've decided to team without considering this. I think I, this was a big failure. My advice: In making teams, you should take into account the fact that how far from house which members to the university. Once again, I want to introduce a plan that I was worrisome. "Introducing a revolutionary suitcase that can change from a carry on to check in, can become a closet, a table and so much more!" https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1609691375/fugu-luggage-expandable-suitcase?ref=category "Flio is a collapsible laptop stand that offers an ergonomic viewing height and keeps an angle for easy typing anywhere you go." https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/482077604/flio-slim-portable-and-lightweight-wooden-laptop-s?ref=category "Stay Cool In Life with this revolutionary locking travel and beach tote with a discreet cooler in the bottom." https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1017164093/coolbag-locking-travel-bag-beach-tote-with-cooler?ref=category Today, I was taught about the web site named kickstarter. According to the story that I've heard, this web site is a crowdfunding system to support the creative plan. By using this web site, it is very easy to collect funds from the general public. This can replace the conventional method investment, an innovative system. Now Japanese is not possible to launch a plan, can only make a contribution.
fifteen categories are provided in the kickstarter. Art, comics, craft, dance, design, fashion, video work, food, games, journalism, music, photos, publications, technology and theater. It is design that I was paying attention this time. Among them, an interesting plan was found in the category of "Product Design". I will introduce two.
