Between about 1300-1600 the temperature on the Earth fell about 1C. Scientists call this period the little ice age. Some new research shows that it started because of some volcanoes that erupted in the tropics between 1250-1300. Volcanoes can affect our environment strongly, as last year's Eyjafjallaj?kull eruptions in Iceland demonstrated.-Todd
1300から1600年にかけて地球全体の温度は1度下がっています。科学者達はこれを小氷河期と呼んでいます。ある研究はその一因として1250から1300年に熱帯地域で起きた火山噴火のせいだと示しています。火山は私達の環境に多大な影響をもたらします。昨年のアイスランドで起きたエイヤフィヤトラヨークトルの噴火のように。
Do you like movies? What is your favorite movie this year? Every year in America we have a ceremony called the Academy Awards where we honor the best films of the year. Many different kinds of awards are given out, including Best Actor, Best Picture, Best Music, and Best Costume Design. The nominees for the 2012 Academy Awards were announced last Tuesday. One of the more interesting nominations is for a filmed titled `The Artist`. It is a silent, black and white film that pays homage to old Hollywood movies. I hope we can talk about our favorite movies together!

Recently, a new kind of monkey was found. It's called the Myanmar snub-nosed monkey, and they live in the north part of Myanmar, in the mountains. It's exciting to find new animals that we didn't know of before, but nowadays we rarely find new primates.

My Favorite Pokemon
My favorite Pokemon is Machamp.I think I have many things in common with Machamp.He is known as the `superpower Pokemon`, and I hope to be known as the `superpower teacher`.Both Machamp and I love to work out!Machamp lives in the mountains, and my hometown, Denver, is famous for its mountains and skiing.Unfortunately I will never be exactly like Machamp. He has four arms, and I only have two!-Anders
私のお気に入りのポケモンはカイリキーです。私と彼は沢山の共通点があります。彼は怪力で有名ですが私も怪力先生として有名になりたいです。2人とも筋トレが大好きです。彼は山に住んでいますが、私の故郷デンバーも山とスキー場で有名です。残念ながら私は100%彼のようになれません。なぜなら、彼は4本手がありますが私は2本しかありません。
Happy New Year everyone! I hope everyone had a good vacation. In many English-speaking countries, on New Years Eve just after midnight, people sing an old Scottish song called 'Auld Lang Syne'. It means 'old long since', or in a more common way of speaking, 'long long ago', and reminds us to value our friendships.
It`s Christmas Eve!
I hope everyone is preparing for a delicious Christmas dinner and a fun Christmas party!
While Americans celebrate Christmas with dinner and partying as well, did you know that we don‘t eat Christmas Cake? I had never seen a Christmas Cake until I moved to Japan. Christmas Cookies, hot chocolate, and pie are common Xmas deserts in America.
Kentucky Fried Chicken and pizza are not eaten during Xmas either. In America, they are considered summertime foods! We usually eat turkey, ham, mashed potatoes and other Thanksgiving-type food for Xmas.
Regardless of what you eat for Christmas, I hope everyone has a great holiday spending time with friends and family!
Yesterday, scientists announced the discovery of some new planets, Kepler-20e and Kepler-20f. They are orbiting a star called Kepler 20, which is about 950 light years from Earth. Kepler 20 actually has at least 5 planets, but none of them have any pikachu residents...probably.
