Essay6 1st episode of a foreign television drama



I’ll write about first episode of a foreign television drama. I watched ‘Heroes’. ‘Heroes’ is an American science fiction and there are a lot of characters who have special abilities in this drama.

I will write about the character and special ability from now. First of all, I will write about Claire Bennet. She has a special power which is able to regenerate her body, so even if she jumped from the roof of the building or stood up to fire to help people, she did not get injured at all. Her special power is very good and a lot of people may think that I want to be Claire Bennet. However, it seemed to me that she is not happy. Next I will write about Nathan Petrelli. He has a special power which is able to fly. After he had a realistic dream, he was under the impression that he can fly. Moreover he said a lot of people that I may be able to fly. Most of the people who heard his words paid little attention to something. However, He was able to fly in the end. Next, I will write about Isaac Mendez. He has a special power which is able to foresee the future. At first, he was astonished at his painting he does not remember at all. However, he noticed that the picture he drew indicate the future. This special power is very great. However, It seemed to me that he dislike the special power.

This drama was very interesting and I thought that this drama give a lot of dream for people. In fact, most of the people will think that we will not be able to have the special power. However I believe in human potential.

1st episode was so interesting that I thought that I want to watch the second episode, too.

          I read ‘walking on the moon’. This is because I am very interested in space world. When I was a child, I read a lot of books about space and I thought that I want to go to a space many times. Walking on the moon was my dream. However, I thought that human cannot go there, so I gave up the idea of going to a space. When I was an elementary school student, I knew some people were able to walk on the moon. Moreover I heard the fact that humans walked on the moon for the first time on 20 July 1969. I regretted what I gave up my dream. However the information made me happy. I hope that all the people come to be able to go to a space in the future. If I had a chance, I want to go to a space. This book was very interesting and it was easy to read.

BR 1-15 understanding rules


   Rules are ideas that help people live together. P4

        I read ‘Understanding Rules’. It is very important for people to follow the rules. In fact, if there were no rules in the world, it is hard to live. However, I think that all the rules are not always good. Especially I think that I do not have to wear school uniform. There are three reasons why I think so. First, students are able to display their originality by wearing plain clothes. I heard that most American students do not have to wear school uniform because most people who live in America attach importance to personality. Second, as I grow older, school uniform will not work. This is because we cannot wear the school uniform after graduated. Finally, once the school uniform got dirty, we have to buy same things. This is because we do not have to wear the dirty shirt. Especially, a white dress shows the dirt with ease. For these reasons, I think that school uniform is bad for students. This book is very interesting, so If you have a lot of free time, I want a lot of people to read this book.

      I read’ Travelling around’ because I think that I want to travel around the world in the future. I have never been to foreign country and I do not have foreign friend at all. Moreover I want to learn a lot of things by travelling around the world. For example, lifestyle, eating habits and so on. Since I was a child, I am interested in the world heritages, so I think that I  want to visit a lot of world heritages in the future. This book was written about how do you get from place to place? In fact, people use lots of different ways to travel from one place to another place. However I cannot say what is the best way because it seems to me that each kind of transport has its good and bad points. A lot of people may say that traveling on foot is the best way because using a car and bus is bad for the environment. However, it takes a long time to travel long distances. What do you think is the best way? I did not know about it.
