~Learning with Computer~

Computer is important our life. We use it at the school, home and so on. We use computers during a class. Moreover, we use it to study at our home. I start learning about computer when I was an elementary school student. Computer is a part of my life.

Moreover, we use it as a dictionary. And, we can download some music whenever we want to listen to music. If I want to know something, I can know the detail easily by computer. Anyway, computer is so convenience.

Second, I don't like use computer because it is difficult for me and it tires the eyes. But, it is very useful. We can practice of typing and learn about language using educational game. We use a Power Words like a language game. This is very interesting. We can learn a lot of language while we enjoy. Moreover, it is useful when it happen disaster. We can know the state of affairs.

Then, we can get a lot of information. When I want to know some information, I can know using computers. For example, when I want to know weather forecast, we can know this information easily. And when I want to know some news, I can know news easily. Moreover, I can know other thing related news which I want to know. But, there are much bad or wrong information in the Internet. So, we have to make sure of the facts.

Lastly, it has some connections. Moreover, when I want to contact, I can contact using chat or web sites such as mixi and Face book. I use these web sites. When I have free time, I often see these web sites. I can know recent conditions of my friends. And we can send a mail to all over the world. In August, I went to New Zealand. And then, I like my host family. So, I want to keep in touch with my host family. And we exchange each mail address. Now, we keep in touch each other. We can connect many people all over the world using computer.

Big Straw Rice Bag!! ~ Secret of Kumamoto~

I introduce about "Ohdawara Festival" in Tamana. Ohdawara means big straw rice bag. This is a very historical event in Tamana. Reason why I choose this event, I want to tell this event more.

This is a type of festival that is not well-known in Kumamoto. This festival is annual autumn festival. It started from 1997. People roll or pull a big straw rice bag. It is so heavy. Big straw rice used this event weighs about 800 kilogram. And it has a diameter of about 2.5 meters. It is 4 meters wide. While people pull big straw rice bag, they run 80 meters. But, it is funny event. They compete with other group, which is faster. One group has 14 people. When they do this event, they put on special uniform. This festival is regardless age or sex.

When I was a high school student, I went to Tamana high school. In my high school, we rolled a big straw at school festival. It is so funny. When we do this event in our school, we use small straw rice bag. And when I was a high school student, I take part in this event. And our group is only girls. But, we got a prize. I think I could a valuable experience.

There are some festivals and events in Tamana. For example, there is a festival called "Sho-bu Festival" in June. Sho-bu is a sweet flag. We can see a lot of beautiful flowers at riverside. Moreover, there is a displayed of fireworks on a summer evening in August. Fireworks are display about 1000 in there. It is very beautiful and powerful.

There are many events and famous things in Tamana. We can enjoy all year round. So, I like Tamana. Please come on and look this event! Let’s pull a big straw rice bag!
And it is a homepage of Tamana city. Let’s go!! http://www.city.tamana.lg.jp/
