Attack on UKIP


1.(link) 
 H:\BBC News - UKIP gaining seats from Tories and Labour in English   elections.mht
 
 2.(summarize)      
            United Kingdom Independence Party is going to gain the largest number of seats at Europe Parliament, while Labour and Tory struggling to make progress. The reasons of these expectation are first, depression across EU, second, large rate of opposition to immigration, third, civic scapegoat of depression in British. If these expectation are going to be realized, many change will happen. For example, some changes will happen in the undergoing negotiation of EPA between Japan and EU, and the in/out EU referendum. So it may influence Japanese policies to EU.

 

2.  (review)
       In EU parliament election, extreme right political parties is going to get seats from conservative one in many countries. But I think it is strange that some political parties gain so many seats drastically in Britain. Because Britain is the country whose election is the election between Labour and Tory. So I searched the reasons. That’s like following.

 

(1)  EU Parliament election isn’t concerned with national administration.

(2)  The awareness that this election isn’t concerned with my everyday life occurs among voter.

(3)  Hence, voter’s private opinions are reflected to the consequence.

(4)  So drastic changes often occur.

 

So it is natural that latest business climate are much reflected to the consequence.
      This time, the focus is whether anti-EU or not. And each party’s decision whether           anti or not mostly decide the consequence.

 
      In some reasons of voter’s decision, I’m interested in the “Scapegoat thinking”. 
      That is, many voter think recent depression in Britain is come from being member 
      of EU, while this thinking is not so valid. This thinking seems to come from   manipulation of public opinion, isn’t it? Hence, I think it is wrong to decide lightly. In addition, this decision may influence Japanese policies, it may not other business, it may our  business.

To-Do list for my first year at university





To-Do list for my first year at university

 

1.    Lose at least 10 kg

I put on about 10 kg during the examination term. During the examination term, every day I ate too many Macdonald’s hamburgers, potato chips, and other junk food. I also drank a lot of milk alone or with my friend every weekend. Then I noticed, “Oh My God! My weight has…!!”  I’ve never put on weight in such a short time, so it’s unbelievable, isn’t it? To lose weight, now, I run 7km, do some exercise, go boxing gym 2 or 3 times a week. So losing weight is being big part of my life now. I want to continue these activities long time.

 

2.    Read 100 books

I don’t like reading books so much, and have custom to read them. To improve them and get more education, I’m going to read 100 books. Especially during spring C module, I’m going to read 30 books. I want to read new genre. It contains poetry, historical novel, and so on. I also want to read novel written by Gabriel Garcia Marquez. If you have favorite books, Please recommend them to me.

 

3.    Travel abroad

Summer or spring vacation is longer than that of high school. So I can make enough room to go abroad. I’ve decided my first travel destination. That is Vietnam. The first reason why I’ve decided Vietnam is I’m attracted by Vietnamese artless character. My grandfather sometimes told me Vietnamese artless character and I came to be interested in Vietnam. Second reason is I want to eat Vietnamese food. It looks delicious for me. By bike or scooter, I want to spend 2 weeks traveling Vietnam.

 

4.    Exploring around Tsukuba

I’m from Iwate prefecture. And I know nothing about Ibaraki prefecture and Tsukuba. So I think it’s suitable for my first year To-Do task. But there is difficulty, I move only by bike. It’s difficult to explore Tsukuba by only bike, and it’s inevitable to use car or scooter. I need to get driver license during summer vacation. After I get car or scooter, first of all, I want to go the Fukuroda Falls which is about 120m long waterfall.

 

5.    Getting a grade of 800 on the TOEIC test

After entering Tsukuba university, I increasing came to realize how English communication is important. So I need to study English hard and learn to speak well. As a indicator of my English achievement, TOEIC test is effective. Through studying for the test, I want to get more utility English which is so-called English to speak. Finally, by the end of 1st grade in this university, I surely get 800 point!  

 

6.    Cooking

I had never cooked before entering university, and now suffer deeply from cooking. As I have never thought the difficulty of cooking, every day, while struggling with cooking, I thank for my parents for having cooked for me. My cooking repertoire is now only some Japanese and Chinese foods. I’m going to learn cooking and make European or other new dishes. Anyway, I must improve that bad taste.


7.    Operating computer

Now, I’m typing all these words with forefinger. So It’ll take long time to get this work finished. Needless to say, improving typing skill is first task. Operating Windows office softs like Excel, Power point and Word is second task. In my majoring department, Social Engineering, all these tasks are essential. So I must learn quickly.  

 

8.    Reading newspaper

Reading newspaper is my new custom added after entering university. First, I took long time to read whole articles and thought it’s impossible to read up every day. But gradually I came to get the knack of it and now I can read up every day. By reading newspaper I can know headline in the world more deeply and discover new connection between one news with other one. So I want to continue this good custom forever.

 

9.    Club

Because I disturbed in losing weight and boxing, I still can’t decide which club to belong. I want to belong club such as drama, ESS, guitar and so on. Anyway, I’m going to belong happy, pleasant club. To help, to please, to amuse someone, I’d like to make an effort cooperating with members.

 

10.           Making many friends

To my happy, everyone in my belonging department, Social Engineering are nice person. So through many events, cooperating with each other, I want to make friends gradually. In Tsukuba university, I want to meet many people understanding cultural and linguistic diversity. Outside of university, also I’m going to treasure Japanese proverb “Once in a lifetime chances”. To advance 1step, first, I’ll study English hard.
