Development of internet brought us convenience and annoyance concurrently. To talk about bad effect, spam mail is one of my pet peeves about using internet. In the beginning, I tried to have another, new e-mail that I use only for important contact. To do so, I didn't put that e-mail adress when I register for any website. However, spam mail started to come to my new e-mail account, too. As result, I ceased making new accounts and try to change myself not to care about spams. Of course, I don't read them, but I check the title, not to miss any important mails wrongly delivered to spam folder, and and trash all of them. Even looking through the title of spams takes times. Although I don't have technical knowledge, I think the law regarding e-mail should be amened to assure personal information-security and to block routes of accessing private information. Another pet peeve is pops up of sexual or inapropriate advertisement window from opening e-mail or regular website. Personally, unnecessary time consuming to deal with those trashes irritates me but, at the same time, thinking about possible bad effects they could cause to children makes me sick. Rigid punishment is seriously needed to stop spoiling internet environment.

About then years ago, dinosaurs got enormous public interests. Dinosaurs were widespread and were found easily from novels, movies, games and toys. However, I don't like whatever that is scary. So I tried not to consume dinosaurs' products. The only movie I saw about dinosaurs is Jurassic Park, the first version of about ten years ago. Jurassic Park was dramatized from the same title of novel. It was famous movie, so-called 'blockbuster' because of its special effects. Main story was about revived dinosaurs going out of controls and scholars and their kids escaping from dinosaurs' attacking. It actually was something. Motions and sounds were very very realistic. Main characters looked horrofied. I was completely lost in the movie. Fear was accumulated through the movie, I couldn't stand up and leave the theater after the movie. My friend was overjoyed at my suffering. Ever since that, I never watch any movie related to horror or adventure.

I have learned English, Japanese, Germany and Chinese. Some were required classes of school and others were self-interested studies. But, I became somewhat fluent only in English and Japanese. I totally forgot about Germany anc Chinese. Learning language is a ongoing process which doesn't finish in a certain time. From my experience, learning language needs devotion more than interests or learning time. The two languages are ones that I tried to learn and use more.
I am generally good at verbal language than written one. I'm very open to adapt new things and I like to learn foreign languages. I love talking in other languages. I am not afraid of talking to foreigners. So I just say whatever I know whenever I have chance to talk to foreigners. Therefore, when I talk, my expression, pronunciation could be inaccurate sometimes. Eventually, I practice a lot and learn from making mistakes by speaking, although making mistakes doesn't mean that I violate grammar seriously. On the contrary, I spend less time for written language. No simultaneous interaction gives me few interests.

My name is Mary. I have a family of five, a husband,Jim and three boys. We moved to Manchester about three months ago to get a job at a factory. We used to live in the countryside and work on the farm. Having heard about fancy-city life and dreaming of becoming rich brought us here. After we arrived in Manchester, we could find a cheap place but we had to share a small room with several families and all the sewaged and trash were disposed on the street. But high motivation and expectation about factory work made us not consider it much.
Jim got a job at a textile mill. He worked very hard day and night and he was subordinated to the boss but there was no incentive for that. It was hard to sustain baskc level of life. So I got a job at another textile factory, although my wage was only one-third of Jim's. Jim and I bring our children to the works because of lack of public daycare centers . Luckly, my boss liked me bring my kids to work implicitly. He let them, who are five and six, work and even paid for them. This is shamful but now I have perspective that my youngest son grows fast and support us, too.
We moved to city to pursue better life. However, circumtances are not better, even worse. None of us never take a rest and never be happy. It seems that all of us got illness here in Manchester, not only physically but also mentally.

During high school different from junior-high school, I didn't get along with classmates well. I did put all my engergy avoiding them. I tried to be a nerd. All I did was going to class, going to the library and having tutors to teach me. I never violate school-principles. Consequently, I didn't want to participate in any activities because students in a same group(activity) usually get along and make problems. But I had to participate because of credits, so I joined bowling club. Good thing of bowling club was that constituents of the club could leave school for that activity, it was not relavant to any studies and teachers who were in charge of were not traditional teacher-style. Going bowling weekly didn't help me making friends which I was not interested in and didn't help me getting into college. But it gave me free time, out of stress and made me feel good. I do not go bowling on a regular basis, however I still like go bowling. Sound of ball hitting pins makes me feel piquant.

A ring has an image of commitment to one's lobe, whereas a diamond ring is precisely a symbol of marriage. According to the article, it seems that a commercial purpose of a company made a convention about a wedding ring. A diamond ring didn't mean special to me. I simply though a diamond ring is highly valid because it is retainable. However, ever since my friends started to get married, an image of diamond ring was declined to me. I found it was considered that a diamond ring was requisite for marriage not an option and that a size of diamond was a reflection of a size of love. More sad fact is that I'm not sure that I can be free from undesireble convention.
