Summary about benefits of vegetarianism - Wonkyung Cha(Sunny)

    In the article, “ Advantages of vegetarianism”, the writer Kate pullen gives 4 reasons what is the advantages of vegetarianism. He suggests some opinions of vegetarianism’s benefit as wide and varied perspective. First, No animals is harmed for meats that people want to eat. If the number of vegetarians increases in the future, we don’t need to feed to livestock for meat. It might be change industry of farming to better way, so it won’t be harmful to animals. Second, It can be helpful to environment. By citing Sir Paul McCartney saying and Environmental defense report, writer shows how vegetarians can be great help to environment. Third, Kate pullen states that you can save much more money than when you have meats. There are a lot of kinds of cheap vegetables which can substitute for meats. And you can buy stuffs which are more useful to live. Finally, there are a lot of  advantages from health side for vegetarians. He tells that you can gain plentiful fiber and vitamins and minerals in vegetable, so you can be healthy because of those factors. In contrast, meat has some bad points that meat is not good for digest, you can gain fat and high cholesterol levels which is harmful to health.
    I don’t agree writer’s opinion. Although there are many benefits of vegetarianism, I think meat is essential element for our health. Meat contains vitamins A, B, D and K as well as copper, chromium, folic acid, iron, magnesium, potassium, selenium and zinc(source : googling). If we can’t meet that factors, we can be in poor health. So in my opinion, the best way is that eat meat and vegetable together. If you want to save the earth, eating less meat and more vegetables is good idea!

Summarizing -fred

  In an article in Vegetarian Times, titled "Why Go Veg?", the writer discovers some people want to have a healthier life to stay away from the diseases, others want to protect the Earth's resources and they love animals. The author gives sixteens benefits which base on the scientific research to become vegetarians. First, people who eat vegetarian diets can decrease the risk of diseases and cancers. Secondly, it can also help people to lose weight with a normal lifestyle without hungry. Thirdly, it can make people live longer, full in energy, and slow down the immune system. Moreover, the Japan which country in a low-calorie the people have longer longevity. And the vegetable will provide the things that help human's body having stronger bones. Also, it can help to decrease the food-borne happening odds. Furthermore, it can provide the compounds that adjust the balance of human's body.
To become vegetarianism brings more energy to people, and make people more active. Another benefit is to make life more healthier to regular the "pushing time". To make less pollution is also a advantages that people become vegetarianism, because people have less chemical and animal waste. Also people who are vegetarianism can avoid toxic chemicals, and the reason 95 percent that are from meat, fish and dairy products. Vegetarianism helps to decrease the famine which needs to hunt many animals for human daily demanding.  Because of the people become vegetarianism, the meat demands are decrease, so more animals can survive instead of being killed. And the vegetables are more cheaper than the meat, so you can save about more than $4000 per year. Also the vegetables including various of colors, so the food will look like more mouth watering. Finally, people can have this diet more convenient, because it is popular and people can buy it even in the fast food restaurant.

Benefits of vegetarianism-Tzu Chin

     In this article, Advantages of Vegetarianism, the writer Kate Pullen says that people become vegetarian because of four reasons. The first one is animal welfare, as long as more people become vegetarian, the method of intensive farming is going to change. The second reason people become vegetarian because they want to protect their environment. They think that they can reduce carbon dioxide emissions by eating vegetarian foods. And the third reason is about the budget. Kate believes people who eat vegetarian foods can spend much less than people who eat meat.  The last reason is having vegetarian foods is good for human’s health. Vegetarian diet can help people’s body to absorb vitamins and minerals. However, having too much meat probably will cause some physical illness.  In the end of this article, Kate also mentions there are some disadvantages to become vegetarian, so she says that do some research to get some ideas will help us to make a wisely decision.

          

     In my opinion, I agree most part of this article. Nevertheless, she says become vegetarian can help us to save a lot of money. I think maybe it is depends on the place where we are living. For example, in Taiwan, a meat meal’s price is almost as same as vegetarian meal.  But I totally agree with others ideas, for instance, the author states eating vegetable can improve animal welfare; can protect environment and also good for our health. I think it is real, especially people are tend to having more meat than before, it not only has harmful to our health also to the environment at the same time.

Summery for the article “9 Healthy Benefits of a Vegetarian Diet”

In an article “9 Health Benefits of a Vegetarian Diet,” Dr. Edward explains to people that 9 kinds of benefits of a vegetarian diet. Specifically, he explains the definition of the vegetarian diet, which means a diet that can provide a higher consumption of fiber, folic acid, vitamins C and E, magnesium, unsaturated fat, and countless phytochemicals healthy food and nutrition. Then following this kind of health diet, people will have lower cholesterol, be thinner, have lower blood pressure, and reduce risk of heart disease. First, he says that the vegetarian diet may change people into a better mood and may improve the Psoriasis symptoms, which is a kind of skin disease that can cause the skin irritation and skin redness.

Also, this kind of diet can less the risk of stroke and obesity and less the chance of development kidney stone. In conclusion, he tells that vegetarian diet not only can make people have lower cholesterol, but also can satisfy all the nutritional requirements that people needs.

In my point of view, I disagree that vegetarians have not eating meat because it’s an incomplete diet. It is unhealthier compare to an omnivorous diet with good animal product. There is no doubt that people need a lot more protein to maintain their physical health and the meat is the first choice.

Benefit of Vegetarianism-Kureha

   In the article in” Why Go Veg? ,” from “Vegetarian Times” gives reasons about why people should go vegetarian. It says that vegetarianism has a lot of benefits for people. The writer gives 15 benefits for reader, but in this article I would like to summarize 3 benefits. First, writer states vegetarianism that helps people to lose their weight. Most American diet foods include much fats and carbohydrates. These things make people get more fats. However, vegetable don’t include them so it helps lose weight. Then, writer says that vegetarianism helps people’s long life, and wither explain why people become a long life from vegetarianism. Finally, he states that people can escape from poisonous chemicals. Meat and fish include some toxic chemicals. In conclusion, writer says vegetarian foods makes people good feeling, and writer asks” Why haven’t you gone vegetarian?”

   In my opinion, vegetarianism is good for us because it has a lot of benefits about if we eat just vegetable, we will be healthy. However, I think many people don’t know what benefits is, and they have a negative image for vegetarianism. Therefore, people should tell vegetarianism’s benefits for people who don’t know about vegetarianism. I am certain that people will have curious about vegetarianism because I think every people want to get benefit, for example, people want to be healthy. Also, I finished read the blog before I want to try vegetarianism.

In an article in vegetarian times, titled, “Why go veg?”, the writer is trying to give us useful reasons on how great it is to stay on a vegan diet. The doctors gave as 13 different benefits on staying in a vegan diet and these are 9 benefits.First reason, is that federal government advices the people to gain vegan calories rather than meat. “According to Scientists, if people are consuming vegetarian food only the rate of all kinds of diseases including cancer, will decrease and people will stay healthy”. Moreover, If people use the vegan process they can like 10 to 13 healthy years it’s because they’ve switched from an American diet to a veg diet. Being in a veg diet will also help people to stay on a normal weight and they can find their sizes every where.However, being in a veg diet helps kids to gain more energy and build strong bones.On the other hand staying in a vegetarian diet will reduce the causes of pollution and people are going to be friends with animals which will preserve us eating them.

Censorship - Mohammed Attar

Censorship refers to the practice of cutting out the inappropriate material such as sexual and violent programs in the government control media. Whether the mass media should be filtered by the state officials has fostered a controversy among different people I am again the contention that the mass media ought to be censored.

The first and foremost disadvantage of governing all censorship of the media is that the public will be aware of the truth of the media as an illustration . Parole can not take advantage of Tv, the internet and the newspaper, leading to be misinformed about global events . Therefor people exposed to censored contender tend to be insufficiently educated.

In addition , another demerit of the forgoing action is that censorship can be misused by curapted governments can cover up the hidden political agendas governments usually cover their bad deeds from the public eye, and one way to do so is banning curtain media elements which could reveal their curapted behavior in the future.

On the other hand , one of the advantages of the issue in question is that young children will not learn inappropriate things . For example , when kids watch tv the government has to cover the inappropriate things so, the children won't learn inappropriate things.

To put the issue into prospective, I concert with the idea that I am for governments that are not censoring their mass media and filtering their media . on account of the fact that in my opinion ,the merits of the aforementioned issue for outweigh its pro.I concede that if the governments use censorship will lead the government to corruption. However , if the government censors only the violent, inappropriate things, that makes a successful balance in censorship.

Different culture .. Asma Al juman

                                                               Different Cultures

                                                                 
There are two main differences between Saudi Arabia and China culture. First, Saudi Arabia    

have to eat with their right hand, but now people eat with spoons. Some people like eating on

the ground especially older people who prefer to eat on it. Also, people like eating in same

 plant when they eating rice with meat or chicken. However, chinese people are different from

Saudi Arabia. They eat with chopsticks. Furthermore, everyone of them  likes eating the food

on particular  plant. There is an old habit that some people leaves the rest of the food in a dish

so, guests will know who is replete. In addition, they likes to eat on table. Second, Saudi Arabia

is different fromChina with manners of handshaking to people. Some times they greeting each

other by shaking hands and touching their nose. Some people if did not meet their friends for

long time, they hug each others. Also, if someone meet other for first time , just greet him by

handshaking . Almost, they say "Al salamu Alaykume " that is greeting regular . In china , it is

different when they meet another person for the fiest time just shook their heads and

 handshake as for parents or nobles they have to bow front of others. Finally, both cultures are

very interesting we should respect that cultures.

Studying abroad in China-Kureha

   2years ago, I went to China for studying abroad. I was studying Chinese and Chinese culture at Beijing Foreign Studies University for one month. I decided to study Chinese because I thought if I can speak Chinese, I will get more opportunity. Because, now many company also expand for China so company want to get employee who can speak Chinese so if I can speak Chinese, I will get advantage which helps getting my job. Therefor,  I went to studying abroad because i thought it really helpful to improve my Chinese skill and understand about China.

   I had experienced a lot of things for studying abroad. I mainly learned Chinese and Chinese culture. For example, I learned tai chi, Beijing opera, Chinese traditional musical instrument and calligraphy. Chinese culture and Japanese culture share a lot of similarities. For example, Chinese traditional musical instrument look like Japanese musical instrument. Also, calligraphy is almost same. We use same tools and character. Chinese teachers taught culture's history, and I realized some Japanese culture ware influenced by Chinese culture.

 
    In addition, I had to made a visit to many company when I went to China. I visited to Chinese food company, medicine company and Japanese-owned company which is Yakurut. I did factory tour and I listened about corporate philosophy and corporate effort. I was excited because there have a lot of new technology and originality.
    I also ate a lot of delicious food in Beijing. Chinese food is cheaper than Japanese ones. One day, my Chinese teacher took me to a restaurant which sells a Peking duck. I had never eaten after I went to China. I really wanted to eat it so I was happy. she told how to eat, and I followed her. Peking duck was delicious and I was satisfied with it.
   In conclusion, I experienced a lot of things from studying abroad. I could learn language and culture, visit many tourist attraction and get many friends. Studying abroad in China is an unforgettable memory for me, Also, this experience broadened my horizon. I will make use of my experience.

2,500 miles away from here -Yoshiyasu

Have you ever been to Toronto? This is one of biggest city of Canada. I have been to the city 2 years ago. It is very beautiful and attractive city. So I’d like to tell you about Toronto.

First, Toronto has many kinds of people. There are French, Korean, Philipino, Greek, Brazilian and Italian. Many people come to Toronto as immigrants. Thus, I couldn’t recognize real Canadian at the subway, when I was in Toronto. It has a lot of immigrants, it means that Toronto has many kind of immigrants’ neighbors, Chinese town, Korean town, littl

e Italy, Brazilian town and Greek town. And these are very close each other, because Toronto is very compact city.

As I said, Toronto is very compact city. And its main transportation is subway. They call it TTC(Toronto Transit Commission).  Most people use this subway to get anywhere in the city. Some people think Japanese train is very useful, but I’ve felt that TTC is as well as Japanese train. It is very organized and it comes every 5minutes. So it was really better than I expected.

Next, about the sights of Toronto. Toronto is on next to Lake Ontario, and the shore has many kinds of restaurants, bars, cafes and some buildings such as CN Tower and Rogers Centre. CN Tower is one of famous landmark in Toronto. This tower works as a radio tower and landmark. So many people come to the tower because of the height. The height is 553.33m. It used to be highest tower in the world as a free-standing artificial building. And, Rogers Centre is a baseball stadium of Toronto Blue Jays. So, if you go to a restaurant around Rogers Centre, you may baseball player.

     Can you imagine Canadian food? Actually, according to local people, they don’t have great native food. The only thing as Canadian food is “Poutine,” which is French fries with gravy sauce and cheese curds. It’s very popular as a fast food, but local people said that it is to high calorie and so oily. You can enjoy many kinds of country’s foods at each countries neighbor. I think those foods are the Canadian food.

     Finally, Toronto is very clean and smart city. Some people said that Toronto is look like New York City managed by a Swiss. It means the city is cleaner and smarter than N.Y.C.  If you have a chance, you should see these culture.

Convenient store inTaiwan-Tzu Chin

In Taiwan, we have more than 10000 convenient stories. That mean, about 0.25 square kilometers will have one convenient store. The most popularizes one is 7-11. Until 2016, there already have more than 5000 retail sales in Taiwan.

Convenient store can help people to do anything. For example, you can pay your utility bills; buy your traffic tickets; print your documents, also you can send and receive packages at there. In convenient store, there is a comfortable area that you can enjoy your food and coffee without any distribution. When you go out, and you forget to bring money, just enter any convention store that you can see to use their ATM to withdraw money. Furthermore, what can you do if you are rushing to go to the bathroom? Don’t be shy to go to the convenient store, there is a bathroom you can use without any charge. And the other service is they have free Wi-Fi. It is a very convenient thing especially for those tourists who don’t have mobile network.

Apart from those services, the products in convenient store are diverse. We can buy cleaning product, book, stationery, and care product, even T-shirt at there. As for the food, they have fruit, salad, sandwich, bento, noodles soup and hot dog etc. Moreover, Taiwanese people like Japanese food, so they also have a lot of products from Japan.

 Most convenient stores have an activity that is collecting in trade of some products. Some time is action figures; some time is lunch boxes, thermos bottle or umbrellas with lovely painted. People also can use points to have a discount when they shop in related stores.

People said that we could live in convenient store. Taiwanese people like convenient store very much because it makes people’s life become easier.

Third post -Rawan

 Five years ago, I went with my family on a trip to the capital city in my country. While my father was driving the car, we encountered some poor families living in a difficult situation. They didn't have electricity in their homes, they have bad health and their children seemed uneducated. Afterward, I felt an ambition to improve their situation, so we decided to help them by collected a little money from each of our relatives. When I donated a little money, it inspired my relatives to do the same. A small amount of money can make a big difference in poor families in several important ways.

The first impact on the poor families was that we paid their electric bills. They didn't have electricity, so they couldn't do anything, such as read book, clean house and cook food. When we saw the price of their bills, they were less than $30.That  encouraged us more to pay their bills because they required only a little money. It could change their situation. That means we should not pay a lot of money to be charitable people. The smallest act of kindness brought from each of my relatives enabled the poor families to have electricity in their homes.

Second, We bought medication which their children needed because they didn't have enough money to buy it. When they were unhealthy, their parents were very sad to see their children unable to do anything such as play with their sisters and brothers. The sick children were treated with kindness by my relatives, and their health improved as a result.

Finally, we provided the money for their children to attend schools. If we hadn't contributed to their education, they couldn't have learned. As a result of our giving a little money to their children, they could buy books, clothes and bags to help them to get their scholarship and continue their education.

 In conclusion, a small amount of money can influence poor families housing, health and education. They can have electricity in their homes, better health and educated children. A small amount of money can enhance their lives and make them happy. When we see them happy, we will also be happy.

Yosemite camping - Wonkyung Cha(Sunny)

 Last week, from 4/28 to 5/1, I went to yosemite camping with IEP students and two leaders, Cierra and Chris. I heard that we would see nature in national park of America. and we would see many kinds of trees, water fall, rocks and stars, and we would sleep in tents and eat meals at camping sites. I was very excited that we would go camping. We rode small bus for 10 people, took about 10 hours to go yosemite national park. Actually it was not easy to ride bus for a long time. At midnight, soon as we arrived at camping site, we set up tent and went to sleep. It was very cold at dawn so we wore 4 clothes for bearing the cold.
 Next day, we wake up at 6 : 30 for hiking. We ate bagel, egg for breakfast which Cierra made. Thanks to Cierra, we ate delicious, enough meal for each meal. And then we hiked mountain for seeing nice waterfall. Even though mountain is too high to hard to climb, but I tried to my best for hiking. Finally, we could see amazing waterfall! How nice!!  I couldn't keep my eyes off that amazing falls. I took lots of pictures for remembering this nice fall. That day, we saw a lot of huge falls, mountain, and rocks, tree. At dinner, we ate sloppy Joe which made with meat, tomato sauce, corn and onion.  It was America food which I've never been eat. I met a new experience that day. At night, I saw the sky which was full of stars. That was amazing!!  I can't forget forever.
 The third day, we walked along a path through a forest. I was satisfied with everything; nice air, amazing big trees, good path for walking and nice friends. I want to appreciate for everything. After having lunch, we bought souvenirs for yosemite and we were heading to riverside. I was sorry to come back riverside.
 It was my yosemite trip at last week. Even though my face was burned by sun, even though it was very cold at dawn, even though it was very hard to hike mountain, I saw nice view, I ate good meals, I made good relationship with my friends. I think it was good enough to my first camping. Thanks for every my friends.

Appriciate to my mother--Hatsumi

Today is mother’s day in America however in Japan it was yesterday. Today I am going to write about my mother.
My mother is kind of strict to me but I can see that she is strict to me because she thinks about me.
For example she always chide me when I eat with not good behavior even just put my elbow on my table when I eat. But she does that to me because I won't get embarrassed when I eat outside or eat with someone. Also she was strict on how much I study. If I wasn't studying all day she gets really mad at me almost everyday saying “its for your future”.However she doesn't get mad at me when I get bad grades because she told me that she saw me working hard everyday and I must work little more that's it. So I did. I worked hard and because of that I was able to enter a highschool that I wanted to go.
I always hear from other people that if kids get to teenager they often fight with parents and they start to want to do something by theirselves. However I never fight with my mother nor my father. Honestly I used to think my mother is annoying about everything to me but now I will never feel that because she is strict FOR me and what she says to me is not always wrong. So I never fight with her even I didn't like what she said because what she says was correct and I can't say anything back to her because of that. However we kind of had a fight once about which university should I go. I wanted to go where I can study theater but my mother said that is not helping me to get a good job. We talked and talked and ended up letting me try the university that I want to go. I didn't pass that university but I have no regrets and want to appreciate my mother because even she is strict on me she is always on my side. I really love and appriciate my mother. I want to devote my parents for getting good job and be successful as a person. I hope the program that I am joining right now will help me get close to reaching my goal.

Do you know YOSAKOI ? Momoka

Do you know Yosakoi dance? It is one of the Japanese traditional dance. We can watch this dance in Japanese festival. I belong to Yosakoi dance club in my university in Japan. When I was freshman in college, I watched Yosakoi dance for the first time. I was very impressed by Yosakoi. People who are dancing Yosakoi is always smile and shouting while they are dancing. Also, they dance at the same time so they are very beautiful.

 

So I wanted to watch again and again even though they are same dance and same music.Then I thought that I want to not only watching them but also be a member of them. So I decided to join this club. Actually, I am not good at dancing so I was very nervous. Moreover, the dance is very hard because the base of dance is keeping our hip low and moving fast. But my members taught me a lot until I got it. Furthermore, even after practice, they took me to the park and practiced with me a lot. It took a lot of time to get used to this Japanese dance and remember the dance.

 In the first festival for me is last end of August, I wore special costume and wore special making up. I was excited and a little bit nervous. But my members encouraged my back and supported me. While I dance, my members made an eye contact with me and audience was very surprised by our powerful dance and they became smile. I was very glad to see them.

 There are many teams all over Japan. They have each character. In case of our team, my members make a dance and music every year and dance it for one year. Sometimes we use musical instrument like Naruko which the sound is like a castanet. Also the number of members is 200. I am in huge team so it is difficult to remember their name. So we have own name plate and put it to the T-shirt. Our motto is dancing for someone. For example, in case of me, in the last festival before this studying abroad, I appreciate my members and mom and friends who supported me while I danced.

 Now I miss Yosakoi and Yosakoi members. So sometimes I dance Yosakoi even in America. Let me know if you are interested in Yosakoi.

Fist of all, the young man saw the plants in front of the house, and the plants were close to dying because nobody had taken care of the plants. He helped the plants with rain water place to get water, and he helped people not get trouble from that water. After that, the plants grew up and had beautiful flowers. He felt happy because he helped the plants from death. In addition, this young man helped a woman cart food car because it was very heavy. Everyday, a woman waited for him since she needed  help from him. They were talking and laughing together. Although it was very hot, or sometimes they met problems with police, they still had smiles on their face. They felt happy for each new day. Furthermore, when he was eating at a small store on the streets and a dog suddenly appeared beside him with poor face. The dog looked very hungry, so he gave his food to the dog . From that day, the dog followed him, and it lived with him. They became friends with each other, so they enjoyed the morning together in the small garden in their house. They felt happy because they became good friends. Also, when he was sitting on the bus to go to school, he saw a girl was standing beside him, so he decided to gave the seat to the girl.

He helped others to send others the love and happiness from him, and he got love and happiness from others.
