BR2-15 Titanic

Cameron’s film, Titanic, was very expensive – it cost $200 million. Every minute of the film cost $1 million. (page 8)

I will tell you Titanic. Titanic was the biggest ship in the world- 24,900 tons. The length was 265 meters long and 28 meters across. The biggest ship amazed many people. Of course, I was also marveled at the super great hugeness of the ship. However, the ship crashed into the iceberg. As a result, about 1500 people died. The next day evening news which was the most famous newspaper said “Titanic disaster great loss of life.” I recognized that controlling the ship is pretty dangerous work for me. If I make a little mistake, many people will be killed by me.

BR2-14 Traveling Around

Cars are good for travelling long distances. They are comfortable and get people to where they are going very quickly. Buses are good for carrying a lot of people at one time. It costs less money to travel on a bus than it costs to run a car. (page4~6)

I will tell you how to drive well. When you ride on a bus, you had better sit on the front seat. Then, you watch the bus driver, and you learn how to control the bus. And you may be much better than now. Before you drive a car, you had better get sleep as much as possible. I make it a rule to get sleep at least 8 hours before I drive a car. In addition, you ought to be calm at all times. Or, you will be injured in the accident.

BR2-13 Powering Cars

Gas is an alternative to petrol. One type of gas that is used to power cars is called Liquid Petroleum Gas or LPG. LPG is a good alternative to petrol because it does not need lead to improve its performance. It also gives off less carbon dioxide when it is burnt. However, LPG does contain some other gases. These gases also harm the environment when LPG is burnt. (Page16~17)   

I will tell you Powering Cars. It is true that petrol gives many people bad influence. However, the fuel is necessary for Motor Sports. Especially, it is for World Rally Championship, SUPER GT, Indy, F1, etc...

BR2-12 HOT and COLD

Temperature is measured on a scale. There are two scales: Celsius and Fahrenheit. The Celsius scale is named after a man called Celsius. He lived from 1701~1744. The Fahrenheit scale is named after a man called Fahrenheit. He lived from 1686~1736. Some countries use the Celsius scale to measure temperature. Some countries use the Fahrenheit scale to measure temperature. (Page6~7)

I will tell you HOT and COLD. On the Celsius scale, water freezes at 0 degree. On the Fahrenheit scale, water freezes at 32 degree. On the former, it boils at 100 degree. On the latter, it boils at 212 degree. I think that it is important for me to remember Fahrenheit scale because it is shown as Fahrenheit in United States of America and United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland although it tends to being disposed.

BR2-11 Ice on Earth

SEA ICE. “Sea ice is ice that forms on sea water. Sea ice does not form on land like an ice sheet, an ice cap or an ice shelf. It does not fall into the sea like an iceberg. Sea ice forms on water and floats with the sea.” (Page 14, Chapter 6)

I will tell you SEA ICE (Chapter 6) of Ice on Earth. Although it is my opinion, Sea ice comes from global warming. Today, global warming is one of the international problems, so I make it a rule not to use any heaters, or any heating although it is pretty hard for eastern and northern Japan.

BR2-08 Water World

“Different industries use water in different ways. Most industries need water for heating, cooling and washing. Some industries use water to make food and drink. Almost all industries need more water than we need in home. Heavy industries, like power stations or chemical plants, use a lot of water.” (Chapter 4, Page 14~17)

I will tell you how important water is (Water World). I could know that water is the most important thing for us to stay alive. If you have little water or no one, you cannot drink anything, work in heavy industries, wash your body, and use any restrooms, so I would you like to make it a rule not to waste our precious water.

BR2-07 Cars

Bad Things about Cars “More than anything, millions of people around the world have been hurt or killed in car accidents over years.” (Page.13)

I will tell you “Cars” (Bad Things about Cars). I think that cars become running deadly weapons although they are pretty convenient. I have seen many great accidents which shocked me greatly since my childhood, so I make it a rule to study the knowledge of cars, to sleep at least 8 hours, to fix my mentality, to control a car surely, to obey the traffic regulations, and not to speed. Although it is too hard, I must be able to do such things. Or, I will be underrated.

New York BR2-04

New Yorkers often eat at the ‘deli’ or the delicatessen. These sell wonderful sandwiches. There are lots of ‘fast food’ shops to buy something to eat quickly. There are food stands on many street corners. These sell hamburgers, hot dogs, pretzels, and drinks like Coca-Cola. Go to Chinatown for the best Chinese food, and Little Italy for the best Italian food. You can eat twenty-four hours a day in New York! (page4)

I will tell you Amazon Rally. It is like Saving Private Ryan or Die Hard although it is my opinion. The book gave me the courage to survive in hard condition. Before I read the book, I had thought that it is the book like the fight of World Rally Championship. However, it is absolutely different. You had better not go to Amazon, or you probably die.
