Last week we listened about the issue of May Day celebrations in Oxford.

At the base of the Magdalen College tower, some 12,000 people gather to greet summer.
Traditionally they come to hear the choir sing a hymn, but in recent years there's been a new May Day tradition.
People leaping into shallow waters of the River Cherwell and after that they rush to the hospital because of fractures.
Magdalen Bridge even has to be closed for several May Days to stop people jumping off.
But given the number of people who did it this year and the number of casualties, police are warning they may have to rethink next year's May Day celebrations.

Why people do such a thing?
In Japan, there's same things at Osaka.
When the big baseball game were taken, and if their team "Han-shin tigers" win the game, the supporters are excited and then they leaping into Do-ton-bori.

I can understand their feelings but I think it is stupid and dangerous.
They should feel a shame as an adult.

Movie review

My friend and I went to movie theater last week, we watched "The confessions of shopaholic"!

It was so fun:)

There are many colorful clothes, shoes, accessories...

All girls are excited while watching this movie.

This movie is not only comedic but also its story is nice.

We're inspired from Rebecca's life and thinking about our life(love, job, and so on).

I'm also reading this story in a paper book.

I recommend you this movie!

story:

In the glamorous world of New York City, Rebecca Bloomwood (ISLA FISHER) is a fun-loving girl who is really good at shopping—a little too good, perhaps. She dreams of working for her favorite fashion magazine, but can’t quite get her foot in the door—until ironically, she snags a job as an advice columnist for a financial magazine published by the same company. As her dreams are finally coming true, she goes to ever more hilarious and extreme efforts to keep her past from ruining her future.

Last week, we listened about the issue of marriage.

Recently, the number of the couple who tie the knot is reducing in UK.

In fact, there were 35,000 weddings in 1981 but it has fallen to 24,500 in 2005.

Is marriage becoming a thing of the past?

Actually there are more unmarried couple who could get married but they're choosing not to commit.
Because fewer people have lost their religious and don't value marriage and also new laws have made sham marriages more difficult.

In addition, I think one of the reason many couples don't choose marriage is responsibility.
Men and women don't want to commit to each other any more.

If we get married we have to take responsibility. We don't love many people and have own time.
And many young men think "I don't have enough money to marriage!", so they feel single life is more comfortable.

But, in my opinion, marriage makes people happier.

Of coarse marriage have many benefit, for example, we can have a child and a love increase, and for women we get stable income.

To marriage is most beautiful thing for women, I think.
I know some people don't think so and they make much of their job or something.

If you really love him or her, you should think you want to tie the knot even if marriage is tough.
That's natural, don't you think so?

I'm interested in the job concerned with a marriage.

When I was 16 years old and went to Florida, I went to wedding at church with my host family.
It was so beautiful, really. I was greatly touched.

In the future, I wanna be a wedding planer or dress stylist.
I want to help couple to become their wedding wonderful because I like to see some one's happy face.
