Hi, ladies!!
Sunflower, did you watch the inauguration ceremony last night? I was so excited sitting in the front of TV as if I also took part in that historical event with a tremendous turnout of American people, all of whom had a bright face. Though I was very sleepy at the moment, the new president’s charming smile made me happy. His speech must become a big example for English learners from now on.
Topic (2008.1 STEP test):
Do the world’s wilderness areas need to be better protected?
Points-Biodiversity/Ecotourism/Rights of indigenous peoples
Recently the importance of world’s wilderness areas has increasing in such severe environment. We have to protect those areas for our safety planet.
First, deterring the destruction of areas is crucial for biodiversity in the area, which can maintain its beautifulness and cleanness. If it is destroyed, the natural circulation would be deteriorated, putting harmful effect on human being.
Second, in order to develop effective protection, it is useful for us to learn how to do it. Fro example, ecotourism can improve our interest about eco-friendly concept.
Third, we also need to protect the rights of indigenous peoples, who would directly maintain those areas. They must get adequate subsidies from their government.
We have to do more effective methods to protect our environment so as to live our healthier and safer lives.
…It’s hard for me…
Well, see you again. Bye!

Hello, Cherry and ladies.
Cerry, it is this early morning that I watched the inauguration speech on T.V. and the video I recorded on BS.
I was too sleepy to watch live TV coverage last night.
By the way, listening to Obama’s speech was of course intriguing and exciting and it was my main purpose, but looking at beautiful color of costume Michelle Obama put on was also very amusing and enjoyable.
I like the yellow-gold dress and coat Mrs Obama wore. I heard that Cuban-American designer whom nobody knows but everyone should, designed it. She reportedly told yellow represented hope and freshness.
Michelle's inauguration dress is appropriate, elegant and beautiful along with her deep green shoes and olive green gloves.
I don’t understand why fashion magazine Grazia UK wondered that her matching dress and coat were the heavy facbirc and the dull color.
In the evening I fortunately could get his transcripts both in Japanese and English through the Internet.
What a convenient IT days we’re living!
I'm certain my precious friedns also enjoyed Obama's first inauguration speech.
Good-night and have a good night sleep.
Hi Cherry and friends,
It is Thursday, January 22, and getting cloudy in the afternoon.
I watched the inauguration ceremony and listened to Obama’s inauguration speech through You-tube and read the manuscript I got over the internet yesterday. Then, I read the Japanese translation in the Japanese newspaper. What a convenient era we are living!
It was an extraordinary day. It was impressionable sight. The smiles of Obama’s and Michelle’s were so attractive that I felt happy, too.
As many as two million people got together to listen to the new President’s inauguration speech in an extremely cold day. I was moved by their excitement and enthusiasm which showed their high expectation and hope to the new leader in this difficult days. I saw people, black, white and Hispanic, move to tears. It was a really historical day.
Throughout his speech, Obama was very serious and grave. There wasn’t any slogan like “Change” or “Yes, we can” which has always been appealed to people during his presidential campaign. I found the dignity and honesty in his manner of speech. Emphasizing on difficulties of overcoming this chaos inside and outside the US, he stressed the importance of keeping hope to reconstruct the nation. He expressed the necessity to bear this crisis and take an action with strong will in order to deliver the peaceful and safe nation to future generations.
I’m hoping Obama’s ministration will go to the right path because the US has a big influence to Japan as well as all over the world.
By for now, my precious friends.
