HILL OF FIRE

-
The little hole became a bigger hole. There was a noise deep under the ground, as if something big had growled.(p.26)
In this story, a family lives in a village. The village is not big but small. There is a school, market and old church. But as a whole, It is not lively.   The family is consist of three, father, mother and Pablo. The father is in trouble because many corns didn't grow very well. One day, his father went to his field to cultivate corns with ox and Pablo. When they planted it, a small hole became bigger and bigger. It was a crater. The more smoke from the crater coughed, the bigger heap grow. Many people had to run away from the village. Finally, they started living in other place. As a result, the life of Pablo's family was richer than before because they could cultivate many corns.
I thought that the volcano makes many people better.

 In today's group, we talked about second language. There are some people which majors in Germany or French in my group. The trouble is that it's hard to memorize words because masculine noun and female noun are distinguished. the man that majors in Chinese told us that it was hard to pronounce it despite the fact that Japanese was similar to it in terms of using Kanji. German is also similar to English. For example, In English, "Name" is pronounced ”ネーム”, but in German, it is pronounced "ナーメ”.  Thus similarity and difference are shown those languages. I was able to understand the anguish of learning languages.

In today's class, I learned various things. Especially what I was impressed with is Mr. Kouyo Ogawa's presentation. I could know that Japanese are passive to the class, but America and United kingdom are less passive than Japan. Certainly, when I was a high school,  most of students are passive attitude, for example, when teacher said to students, "Can you understand?" they kept silent. Maybe, America and United Kingdom's student are active attitude toward to classes. I was glad to hear the difference between Japan and America, United Kingdom.
