I thought that it was so funny, I would liked to show it to you, and I brought it (on?) here.
They are a great championship team who gained a championship of Fifa U-17 women world-cup, but on the other hand they were cute/lovely(?) girls too.
This is a funny thing that had happened in the Cheongwadae(presidential house, the Blue House) at a lunch meeting/(luncheon?)yesterday.
They forgot they were having lunch with the presidents and had became crazy when they saw the Korean idol “Shinny” `.
Haha~~~ The korean president also, there was nothing he could do
[WHAT COULD THE PRESIDENT DO BUT LAUGH? ]
They had to admit[acknowlege] ‘they were girls who also become crazy with idol star.’
According to the news reports, the presidential couple and the other attendees just had looked at their being carried away with joy with and smile/laughting.
And what is more, the president`s finishing commentS were also omitted.

IN the article, they were the most brave and plain guests AMONG the guests who had been invited to the Cheongwadae(presidential house, the Blue House).

아래는 제가 인터넷에서 본 뉴스인데, 너무 재미 있어서 여러분께 보여 드리려고 가져 왔습니다.
비록 그들은 세계여자 축구대회에서 챔피언을 획득한 위대한 운동 선수들이지만,
한편으로 또한 귀여운 여학생들입니다.

이것은 바로 어제 그들이 대통령과의 점심식사 모임에서 일어 났던 일입니다.
하하..그들은 한국 가수 '샤이니'를 보자 마자 그만 너무 흥분하고 열광하여, 대통령과의 오찬임도 다 잊어 버린겁니다.
하하..대통령도 어쩔 수 없었지요....
그들 역시 아이돌에 열광하는 어린 여자아이이들임을 인정해야지요.
보도에 의하면, 대통령 부부및 기타 참석자들은 그저 하하~ 웃으며 좋아서 어쩔줄 모르는 그 모습들을 바라 봤다고 합니다.
게다가 대통령의 마무리 발언도 생략했다고 합니다.
보도에 의하면 청와대로 초청된 손님중 그녀들이 제일 겁없고 솔직한 젊은 손님들이었다고 합니다.

In silence it communes,
The heart of man sincere and true
Precious beyond all boons!

Part4
Winston Churchill, the famous British Prime Minister, often traveled, sometimes in his country and sometimes in other countries. He had a dog and he liked it very much.
When he traveled inside his country on holiday, he always took it with him. When he traveled to do his work, he did not take it. And when he went to other countries, it was very difficult to take it, because there was a rule about dogs in England. All dogs which were brought into the country had to stay in some place for half a year. That was a rule. Though Churchill was Prime Minister, even his dog could not break it.
When he traveled without his dog, Churchill made one of his servants bring it to the station to meet him. When he reached the station, the dog always ran to him and jumped on him.
One day, Churchill was coming back from a trip. His servant who was traveling with him got out of the train just after him. When the dog came, he was standing beside Churchill. When this man was at home, he often gave food to the dog. So it ran to the servant and began jumping on him. Churchill was so fond of the dog that he felt a little sorry about it. But he said nothing.
When they got home, he went to the servant and said, "May I ask something? Will you please stay in the train until I've said hello to my dog?"

Part5
The nightingale comes to England in April. He is a plain-looking bird. English people like this little bird very much. The name of this bird means a night-singing bird. The nightingale, however, sings in the daytime, too. But at night, when other birds are silent, people can hear his songs most clearly. So to the minds of most people, the nightingale is still a night-singing bird. The nightingale does not sing very long. He usually begins to sing about the middle of May, and after the second week in June people hear his voice no more. By this time he is very busy because he and his mate have babies and he must feed them. Summer passes. The nightingale goes away with his family to North Africa. He stays there and　enjoys the warm sunshine until spring comes.

Pettigrew admits to the story, but Harry stops Black and Lupin from killing him and becoming murderers themselves. Instead, Harry persuades them to take Pettigrew back to Hogwarts in order to clear Sirius's name. However, as they return to the castle, the full moon emerges and Lupin transforms into a werewolf. Pettigrew transforms back into a rat and escapes while Black holds off Lupin in his dog form. Black is knocked out by Lupin, who is about to kill Harry when a strange howl alerts Lupin and lures him away from Harry. Harry finds an unconscious Sirius lying by a pond, where Dementors suddenly descend on the pair and nearly kill them. They are saved at the last minute by a strange figure using the Patronus Charm, which Harry believes to have been cast by his father. Harry then passes out.
Harry awakes in the castle to learn that Black has been captured. To save him, Harry and Hermione use the Time-Turner to travel back in time and prevent his capture. Harry and Hermione rescue Buckbeak and re-watch the scenes of the night, until they see the Dementors cornering Harry and Sirius. Harry is determined to see who sent the Patronus, only to realize that it was himself. Sirius is rescued and flees on Buckbeak; Lupin, outed as a werewolf, resigns. Harry is worried that Pettigrew may help Voldemort to return, but Dumbledore says Harry may be grateful that he helped save Pettigrew's life.

Harry and Hermione follow the sounds of Ron's screams and find themselves in an old, boarded-up shack known as the Shrieking Shack. They also discover that the dog is Sirius Black, who is an Animagus. Harry attempts to attack Black when Lupin arrives. Hermione confronts Lupin about habits she has observed during her classes with him, and Lupin admits to being a werewolf. Lupin explains that he, Black, Pettigrew, and James Potter, Harry's father, were great friends and wrote the Marauder's Map. To make Lupin's transformations more enjoyable, his friends all became Animagi, humans who can turn into animals at will. The Marauders remained friends after growing up, and when they learned Voldemort was after the Potters, Black became their Secret-Keeper. However, Black then reveals that he had secretly switched this duty with Pettigrew in order to serve as a decoy. Black states Pettigrew is the betrayer and, rather than being murdered by Black, is actually Scabbers. Professor Snape suddenly barges in on the scene and threatens Lupin and Black with his wand, and taunts Black with threats of turning him over to the Dementors. However, Harry knocks Snape out, allowing Lupin and Black to take Scabbers from Ron and revert him back into Pettigrew.

Harry is depressed to learn he will not be allowed to visit Hogsmeade, the local village, because Uncle Vernon refused to sign Harry's form. He is also angry with Draco Malfoy for ruining Hagrid's first lesson as Care of Magical Creatures teacher. Malfoy causes himself to be attacked by Buckbeak, Hagrid's beloved Hippogriff, and his father ensures that Buckbeak is sentenced to be executed at the end of the school year. Over the course of the year, Hermione uses a Time-Turner to travel in time and attend classes held at the same time. Black manages to break into the castle twice, but is unable to reach Harry. Fred and George Weasley show Harry a secret passageway to Hogsmeade and give him the Marauder's Map.
Ron discovers that Scabbers, his rat, has disappeared and believes he has been eaten by Crookshanks, Hermione's cat, causing a falling-out between him and Hermione. Hermione later finds Scabbers in Hagrid's hut when the three of them visit him before Buckbeak's execution. On their way back from the hut, Ron is suddenly attacked by a large black dog and dragged into a passage beneath the Whomping Willow, a magical tree. Harry and Hermoine receive a brutal beating from the Whomping Willow before moving on into the passage.

Having lost his temper with his Aunt Marge and inadvertently caused her to magically inflate, Harry Potter takes the Knight Bus to The Leaky Cauldron, where he meets Cornelius Fudge, the Minister of Magic. Fudge informs Harry that Aunt Marge has been deflated and that he will not be punished. The Ministry of Magic is simply concerned about Harry's safety due to the escape of mass-murderer Sirius Black from the wizarding prison Azkaban. Black was a great friend of the Potter family and was Harry's godfather, but betrayed the family to the evil Lord Voldemort. Voldemort killed Harry's parents but mysteriously vanished when he tried to kill Harry. Afterward, Black murdered the Potters' friend Peter Pettigrew along with 12 bystanders.
Harry and his friends Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger return to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and find security has been tightened because of Black's escape. The grounds are now guarded by Dementors, dark, sinister beings that drain the happiness of anyone nearby and guard Azkaban prison. They also cause Harry to hear his parents' last moments and pass out. Remus Lupin, the school's new Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher, tells Harry he is more vulnerable to the Dementors because he has seen genuine horrors in his past. He agrees to teach Harry the Patronus Charm, a shield against the Dementors.

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban is the third novel in the Harry Potter series written by J. K. Rowling. The book was published on 8 July 1999. The novel won the 1999 Whitbread Book Award, the Bram Stoker Award, the 2000 Locus Award,[1] and was short-listed for other awards, including the Hugo.[1] This placed the novel among the most-honoured works of fantasy in recent history.[2] A film based on the novel was released on 31 May 2004, in the United Kingdom and 4 June 2004 in the U.S. and many other countries. This is the only novel in the series that does not feature Lord Voldemort in some form.

Today, I am going to introduce two of my American friends, whose way of living in Japan are very different. I found them interesting, because they are quite extreme.

They tentatively call each other friends, but I don't think they get along very well with each other.

Interestingly, they have a lot in common. They are both in their 40s, married to Japanese men, and have daughters. They had a hard time settling into a Japanese life when they began living here. They eventually got through it and have been living here for over 20 years.

The woman who I am going to introduce first speaks Japanese most of the time. She has learned that the best way to settle in Japan and get long with the people here is to follow the Japanese way. I think she has already got this under her belt. When I talk to her, I often feel that she is more Japanese than me in her train of thoughts and her behavior.

The other woman still speaks English except for when nobody understands her. As much as possible, she has kept a westernized approach. She hugs people and says, " Oh, you look good! You wear beautiful clothes!! I like the color!!! bla bla bla ~" like a hyper person. I think she knows that her behavior attracts Japanese people.

One day, those two women had a fight, just when the American-American woman hugged the other woman's husband!
She finally lost her cool!

" This is Japan! Why do you need to hug people? It's weid that you hug people!!! " haha, I should not laugh, but I could not help doing so!

Do you agree with the saying " Do as the Roman's Do"?

Which do you think is better, trying to follow the way in the country you are living or keeping your own way?

Part 1
In the early days of the automobile, many people did not think very highly of it. Farmers did not like it because it frightened their horses. They called it a "devil wagon." Others found that it was too noisy and too dangerous.
When there is a new invention, it is often necessary to pass laws about it. One town in California passed a law that said, "A driver must stop his car when he sees a horse on the road three hundred feet ahead." In Vermont someone had to walk with a red flag to warn that it was coming. In Cincinnati, Ohio, and in San Francisco, California, the speed limit for cars was eight miles an hour in 1902. In many places, cars had to stay off the highways. Highways were only for horses.
Today many people believe the automobile is a problem once again in different ways. They think we need more laws about cars.

Part 2
Man has a big brain. He can think, learn and speak. Scientists used to think that men are different from animals because they can think and learn. They know now that animals-dogs, rats, birds, and even worms-can learn. So scientists are beginning to understand that men are different from animals because they can speak. Animals cannot speak. They make noises when they are afraid, or angry, or unhappy. Apes are our nearest cousins. They can understand some things more quickly than human beings, and one or two have learned a few words. But they are still different from us. They cannot join words and make sentences. They cannot think like us because they have no language. They can never think about the past or the future. Language is a wonderful thing.
Man has been able to develop civilization because he has language. Every child can speak his own language very well when he is four or five-but no animal learns to speak. How do children learn? Scientists do not really know. What happens when we speak? Scientists do not know. They only know that man can speak because he has a big brain.

Part3
Light is very important because it helps us see things. With ligh we know what is happening at places far away. We can use light to turn night into day. We can use it to see very small things that make us sick, or to study distant stars. Light even shows us what is happening on the other side of the earth. It gives us pictures and movies of distant people and places.
Without light, green plants on earth could not live. Without Plants, plant-eating animals could not live. Then meat-eating animals and man could not have any food. This is why light is very important to us. We should understand how it works.
