    A movie that I really liked was "Titanic". It was released in 1997. The main performers in the movie were Kate Winslet as Rose DeWitt Bukater and Leonardo DiCaprio as Jack Dawson. It was written and directed by James Cameron. Also, Titanic won the 1997 Academy Award for Best Original Song, Best Picture, Best Director, Best Cinematography. Leonardo DiCaprio, Kate Winslet, and Gloria Stuart were also nominees.       The vast Titanic set was constructed, in 100 days, as a fully-functioning studio at Rosarito Beach, 18 miles south of   Tijuana  on the Mexican coast of Baja California, though not without a wave of protest from local residents. The facility remains as the Baja Studios, claiming to be the world's largest stages and filming tanks.    Last spring vacation, I watched Titanic for the first time. I was so moved. I've already known a rough story, but there were a lot of stories that I didn't know. As this movie was based on a true sto...

      The other day, I drove to Osaki-kamijima Island and enjoyed the hot spring in Seihukan. When I was a baby, I went there with my family. Though I didn't remember it, my mother told me so. I drove my grandmother's car and used a car ferry for the first time! The Seihukan hotel was far from the port, but the scenery was good. Also, the hot spring was good. It included salt so I felt refreshed. After enjoying the hot spring, I ate "kaisen-gozen". The sashimi was very fresh. Next time, I would like to go to "Mimata-onsen" in Shimane.  

      Today, I listened to "break free" sung by Ariana Grande. When I was 16 years old, I was really into Ariana Grande and recently, I listened to this song on TV. Still, I like this song and Ariana's singing voice. I have some more recommended songs sung by Ariana Grande so I'll show you from now on.

     I listened to " バイリンガル5歳児クリスマス1日密着 ". I showed this YouTube the previous Blogger. Basically, they speak English, and if there are some difficult words, they show the meaning of them. In this YouTube, they are preparing for Christmas! When I was an elementary school student, I decorated some ornaments for Christmas so this YouTube reminded me of this memory... 

      I listened to "bilingual baby YouTube." In this YouTube,  five years old boy shows his recommended books. He can speak English fluently instead of living in Japan because his mother grew up in the USA. He is a bilingual baby. This family consists of four, father, mother, five years old boy and two years old girl. I often listen to this YouTube because I can study basic communication English!

      Yesterday, I went to Hiroshima city to join the orchestra as a violin player with some of the club members of Hiroshima University Symphony Orchestra. This time was the first to join the orchestra for me so I was a little nervous. Once the orchestra began, I could really enjoy it. The sound of every instrument was so good. I thought I should more and more practice! 

     Today, I listened to Learn English With Harry Potter on YouTube. I found 8 difficult words from this YouTube.  8 words : rudimentary; levitation; wrist; swish; flick; enunciate; off you go; go on Then, I'll write one paragraph using 8 difficult words. In this YouTube, the youtuber showed one of the scene in "Harry Potter and Philosopher's Stone". Flitwick who was a teacher at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry showed how to make object fly. He told the students one of a wizard's most rudimentary skills was levitation. He said ''Don't forget the nice wrist movement''. ''The swish and flick''. We have to say this word enunciate. After his explanation, he said ''Off you go then'' and the students began to practice it but no one could do it because everyone have never practiced before. When Ron practiced, Hermione pointed out his enunciation ''Leviosa''. Then, Ron said to Hermione '...
