BR 02-12 MR BEAN

" 'Americaaaaaa!!' shouted Mr Bean at the airport. 'I am going to Americaaaaaa!!'" (p. 4)

Do you know "Mr Bean"? I think that all Mr Tomei's student of speaking class know it because professor Tomei showed the movie of Mr Bean.

It is comedy story  series which is very famous in the world, and it is British story. Therefore sometimes a lot of places appear in this film. Mr Bean is main character, and he hardly speaks in the movie, but he can tells fun of the story.

This book is written about one day at Grierson Art Gallery....

Nobody in the room liked Mr Bean. They all wanted him to leave the gallery, why? What was wrong with the man? He only had to sit in one of the rooms in the gallery all day and watch the paintings. He was not very good at his job. He usually fell asleep, but why did they all hate him?

I want you read this book without anybody else because I guess that you absolutely can't stop laughing. It was written by British English, so it is bit difficult to read, but it is good chance for you to touch British English.

BR 02-11 Night Museum

" 'He is drinking!' Larry cried. Water went through T-Rex's bones and onto the floor. 'I do not believe this. He can move! He is alive!' Larry ran. T-Rex followed." (p. 14)

Larry is main character of this story. He has no money, no car and no job. He wants a new job to meet his son, Nicky, and to pay for his flat. Nicky is Larry's son, and lives with his mother,Erica, and her new husband, Don who is rich and has a great job.

Larry always changes his flat because he has no money for it, so Erica thinks that "It is not good for Nicky"and she tells Larry that "You get a job, otherwise you do not see Nicky." He was very sad to hear that.

And then he get a new job, but he hear that the job is hated by somebody from Debbie who finds jobs for people. He did not understand what she wanted to tell him.

His new job is night guard, and there are three old night guards there, Cecil, Gus and Reg. Cecil is a head of them, and he took Larry to explanation about the museum and the job. After that he gave Larry a peace of paper and told him that "You must read it before your work." But he did not read it...

Suddenly he woke up. It was very late. He looked around him, then there was not T-Rex. "Where is T-Rex?" he thought and then cried because the T-Rex drunk water....

There is actually American Museum of Natural History in Manhattan, New York. It is very near Central Park like in the films. It opened in 1869. The father of President Roosevelt and some other people started it. The filming of this story was shot there.

This story was very interesting for me. There are two or three movies today, but I have never watched them, so I wanted to watch during winter vacation.

Essay 2-02b: Group Essay about Robin Hood

We watched the 1991 and the 2010 versions of Robin Hood. We will tell you about our favorite scenes.


Yukino watched the movie of Robin Hood~The Prince of thieves~. It was screened in 1990, and old movie, but the story was interesting for her to watch.

Yukino’s favorite scene in the movie Robin Hood was the final duel of a movie. Robin Hood storms to the George (Sheriff of Nottingham)'s castle to recover Marian Dubois, who is king Richard's cousin and was carried off, from George. And then he duel with George in front of Marian to help her. The scene was the climax!! It keeps me in suspense. In fact, the main character of this story is Robin, but Yukino boost George without notice because he is a scream person in this movie. Yukino do not know whether he is funny or not, I think that Alan Rickman's performance as George, sheriff of Nottingham, is briliant! because he received BAFTA Award for Best Actor in a Supporting Role with this movie in 1991, so it is one of the highlight.


Eimi watched the 2010 version of Robin Hood. Eimi’s favorite scene in this movie was scene of war versus French army, because this scene has big impact. Before this scene, northern marquees were angry at the new king and tried to against the king, because king requested excessive tax. Many northern marquees gathered, Robin Hood was there too instead of marquees son of Nottingham, then the king told around them with Robin's help. This background makes bigger sensation.

In Eimi’s favorite scene, Robin Hood and northern marquees fight at shore. Behind the shore, there was huge wall. In the battle scene, a lot of arrows flew from there to shore. Especially she likes this scene, because it was so beautiful. Robin Hood was so strong, he is an expert archer, and he is very smart. This scene depicted his character very clearly.


Haruka’s favorite scene of Robin Hood was a scene that Robin went to King's brother to hand his crown. Robin Hood was sincere because he delivered the crown respectfully. The King asked Robin Hood to hand his brother the crown when he is dying. So the King entrusted with an important role. It may have been possible to give up the role, but he achieved it exactly. She thought that he was honest and brave. He also had a important role. It was to hand the sword of Robart to his father. Robart was killed at the war, so the role is also important role. However, he achieved to delivered the sword to Robart’s father though he was almost killed by French army. This movie is not only about the fight between England and France, but also about human nature of Robin Hood. After she watched this movie, she was moved because of his human nature.


Finally we had big impression at big scale fighting scene and the scene which Robin Hood went to King’s brother to hand his crown. We were drawn to Robin Hood’s brave and honest character. 1991 ver and 2010 ver. had many different points, we recommend that you watch both works, because you can find different points and you will be amused.

Essays 1-03b volume 2

I watched "Mrs. Doubtfire" as a writing class, and I thought about two things. These are "Father's love for children" and "Relationship husband and wife". I expect the ending of this story. I think Mr. Daniel will be get in good with his wife all of end. I think it is good for you that you will expect the ending of the story!

The man of main character worked as dubber, and his name is Daniel Hillard. He has a wife and three children, two daughters,Lydia, and Chris, and a son, Natalie. But Daniel is so idler, and he gave up his job again and again. Therefore his wife, Miranda, has earned to household economy. But he did not care about that things, so she got mad at him for mess inside of their house, and it set up divorce. He was  said that he can not meet his children only once a week by a judiciary.

He is a useless as a husband. But his love for his children is very deep , so he can not put up with what he can not meet anytime and anywhere. He found his new job, and clean his room to allow meeting his children long time. But he could not wait next their justice. It is pain for him to live away from his children. ...and at least, he took action that is unbelievable.

Miranda has wanted to employ a housekeeper, so she advertised on newspaper. But, in fact, Daniel changed the phone number secretly. Daniel called her in order to be adopted. Of course he changed his voice and how to talk when he called.His job, dubber, helped him. And he was employed. He commuted every evening after he was disguised by his brother. His aim achieved, and he took care of them. As he love his children, he brought up to be good boy and girls. Then again, he changed himself for nice direction. For example, he could cook, clean and so on. He loves them very much, so he could change.

Daniel and Miranda had good relationship, but it was changed by long term. He loves her, but she was not able to love him. She definitely did not hate him. She just tired married life with him. They did not become reconciled again. All of couples are not in good with each other. Sometime, it is difficult for them to continue married life. Divorcing is good way for them.

I thought that even if the father and mother love their child, all couple are not able to have good relationship. Sometime, divorcing is nice choice than staying with. The movie told that family has a lot of types to me. And I feel that parents love their children even if they hate each other. But personally I wanted them back together.
