    Lyrics with a list



    Madness - Our House

    Father wears his Sunday best
    Mother's tired she needs a rest
    The kids are playing up downstairs
    Sister's sighing in her sleep
    Brother's got a date to keep
    He can't hang around


    When we talk about a list in English, the topics are expressed with declining intonations except for the last topic, and the last topic is expressed with rising intonation.

    Love Dialogue using phrasal verbs

    Man: Coming up next Saturday my mother is going to see us because I set her up to see you.


    Woman: Really? Oh, I have to finish up cleaning our messy rooms. I'll have been burned out, when she comes.

    Man: When we moved in this flat, it had been very clean. But it is too difficult maintaining our room neat and tidy because we're both so busy with our works.

    Woman: Yes right. Anyway now I'm worried if I can get along with your mother.

    Man: She might like you. She told me that I was old enough to settle down. Actually it's based on our old tradition that we should get married with someone who live together for a few years and moreover to get her taken care of  his mother.   

    Woman: Disgusting.

    Bog body : National Museum of Ireland

    Choose an item or exhibit that really interests you.
    What is the exibit?
    An exhibition of Iron Age bog bodies including Clonycavan Man, Old Croghan man


    When it was made?
    In the Iron age


    Why/How is it significant in terms of culture and history?
    To investigate the ancient time, life and ritual

    Where is it from?
    Oldcroghan, Co. Offaly and Clonycavan, Co. Meath

    Does the item have a purpose/function?
    To be human sacrifice to the gods for the harvest.
    To be killed as a rejected ruler for sovereignty and kingship.
    There could be some theories.
    Why did you select this exhibit?
     At first glance I felt scared of that.
    They were so beautiful and mysterious.
    I was especially inspired by the hand of Old Croghan Man.
    It was unbelievable the body remained in such a naturally preserved condition.
    Acidic, non-oxygen and cold temperature would be important for preservation.
    This perfect situation made the bog body. it is so amazing.
    After I had been staring at it, I felt like falling in love with them.
    I wonderd to myself: "What was going on?"


    Does the exhibit represent information about a particular culture at a particular time?
    We might know about the ritual and culture in the Iron Age.

    How I really got to Dublin


    The Commitments - Try a Little Tenderness

    After graduating from university, I had been working as a narrator, as voice-over talent and as an MC or  Master of Ceremonies speaking in front of the people who come to parties, wedding ceremonies, concerts, and so on. Sometimes I have to speak in English at some international parties or concerts. So I've been taking private English conversation lessons  for two years to improve English skills. But usually I have only been listening to my teacher's worries or troubles in his life.  I was aware that it would be more important for me to speak a lot and so that I started to search for language schools. I didn't want to speak Japanese while studying abroad. America, Canada, London, Australia: In which country were there the fewest Japanese? That would be Ireland! But this was not the only reason. I also loved the movie "The Commitments", this is my image of Dublin. My longed-for place. Guinness country! How lovely! So I decided to go to Dublin, Ireland.
