Dear Sir,

I am writing in regard to Classic Hits of 60s which I bought from your web site on November 26, 2008.

I had made a order 10 days in advance, and you sent a mail that you would deliver CDs within three days, didn’t you? However, the CD arrived yesterday. Your company’s good point is early delivery, isn’t it? It was too late.

I called your company, but your employees were insincere. They did not seem very apologetic, and they seem annoyed. I was disappointed

In addition, the CD arrived scratched, and I couldn’t play it. I had planned to use it as my presentation’s BGM. I couldn’t find alternative music, so I couldn’t make satisfactory presentation. I would like to request a refund for the CD.

I have enclosed a copy of the receipt. If you have any questions, I can be contracted by email at 2906171h@edu.hgu.jp.

I look forward to hearing from you at the earliest opportunity.

Sincerely

Hiroaki Takahashi

     I want more money, but I don’t want to work part-time job. It tires me. I hope I can get easy and good pay part-time job. I know it is unrealistic, but I think students shouldn’t work part-time job as possible as we can. We must work to live after graduation, even if we don’t want to do. Why we need to work now? We should do something we can do during only school days, fro example there are sports, study, and art. I want to spend time swimming and studying and money on it. Please tell me easy, good pay, and stressless part-time job.

     I think you needn’t stand eating fast food and can find other ways to decreas your weight. First, you had better reconsider your life style, for example, there aresleeping , meal, exercise. I think these three factors are very important for your health. Second, you had better analyze what cause is. You should go to bed until 0 o’clock and sleep at least 6 hours. If you eat fast food as a dinner or after dinner, you have to stop it because you can’t burn your fat sufficiently. Of course, getting well-balanced nutrition is important too. You don’t have to forget exercise either. You ought to do aerobic exercise at least 20 minutes. You could walking or running. Finally, you have got to practice what you decided.

     The name of movie is Mononoke-hime. The movie genre is fantasy adventure animation movie. It was produced in 12 July 1997. The movie is set in Japan a long time ago. It was directed by Hayao Miyazaki. Main characters are Ashitaka and San. Yoji Matsuda takes charge of Ashitaka’s voice, and Yuriko Ishida takes charge of San’s voice. Mononoke-hime won awards of the Japanese Academy. The IMDB rating is 8.3 stars out of 10.

     The plot outline is that Mononoke Hime is a fantasy adventure, and it tells us that the importance of holding the balance of the natural world. Ashitaka and San fights to be a balancer between human beings and nature.

・Ashitaka who lives in Emishi’s secret village was cursed by “Tatarigami”, and he went to west to remove corse.

・Ashitaka saw iron town’s people who lives desperately destroying forest and beasts which guard forest and San who was grown up by beasts.

・Human beings and nature battled, and Ashitaka and San arbitrate it. Finally, Ashitaka could remove curse.

     Mononoke-hime is a amazing movie. The story is very magnificent. I think no one can create such a movie except for Hayao Miyazaki. A song and pictures are very beautiful, especially Yoshikazu Mera became famous singer. His song matches with the movie.

     I think that people who talk in class are really grating. They disturb my concentration. It is really unpleasant. About a week ago, I saw such students. I took a class which needs a lot of concentration, so I wanted to listen to only teacher’s lecture, but there were three rude students. They didn’t stop talking even a class started what was worse, they stopped talking when the teacher stopped speaking. I think that they were too selfish and cowardly. They shouldn’t act like elementary school students. Eventually, they kept disturbing about 30 minutes, and I had to concentrate more. I was annoyed, but, actually, I sometimes have done same thing too, so I will warn myself not to do such a thing.

     This picture was taken in 2007. The location is Brazil. His name was Carlos, age was 65 years old, and a native of Brazil. He was born a poor farmer’s son. His father grew corn. He hoped to expand his cornfield and be a rich, but he couldn’t achieve it. After his death, Carlos took over the cornfield and the will. He started raising sugar cane for bioethanol in addition to corn in the early 1970s when happened oil crisis. In Brazil, bioethanol’s demands increased, and he earned more money. In addition, he could get married, name was Maria. He led a full time, but he couldn’t have expanded his cornfield yet. In 1997 the Kyoto Protocol was adopted by the 3rd Conference of the Parties, which was meeting in Kyoto, and it was the turning point in his career. He expected that bioethanol markets would grow all over the world. He managed to get corn’s seeds which are bred for bioethanol. Eventually, his expectation was right, and he got a lot of money. In 2007, he decided to buy a new land to raise more corn. He could achieve his father’s and his goal at last. When he arrived new cornfield he asked his wife to take a photo to keep a memory of first planting. The scythe  he was holding was remembrance of his father. He was proud of himself and his father.

     Syuichi Tsuji is a sports doctor. He was born in Tokyo in 1961. He is specialist in applied sports psychology and health support by sports medical science. He flourishes as a manager of his basketball team “EXCELLENCE” and cheer leading team “LIVELIES”, and he is also a president of his company “EMINECROSS”. I can’t write all his activities because he is active in a lot of fields. His philosophy is that sports is medical treatment, art, communication, and education. He organized his sports team on his philosophy, not only to win. He also teaches business persons mental training. I think that Syuichi Tsuji is the real professional.
