Demonstrations People sometimes show their frustrations with their government through demonstrations. Some of them are peaceful, and some of them are violent. Governments often regard them as dangerous, so they sometimes crush them violently. They are afraid of social disorder. If people demonstrate violently, their government has an excuse for attacking them violently. If people demonstrate peacefully, there is no excuse for attacking them violently. But I have recently seen police attacking people violently who demonstrate peacefully and even journalists. We must not allow violence like that. In democratic countries, people can reflect their opinions on their government by elections. However, if it is a one-party dictatorship, how can they do it? Aren't demonstrations a choice? What do you think about demonstrations?

I am a cat I am a cat. I don't remember where I was born. One day I found myself being on the street with my brother. We seemed to be thrown away. We walked around for a few days feeling hunger, but we couldn't find something to eat. We mewed for a while because of helplessness, and then the door of a house opened. We got in the house. There was a man in the house and he was talking to his wife. They seemed to argue about us. She didn't seem to like us. After a while, two people joined in the argument. They seemed to be the man's son and daughter. The daughter said that we could have only a cat, but the son said that we should have the both. A man who let us get in this house seemed to be the master of this family. The son insisted that we should have both the cats because separating them was too pitiful. Thanks to the son, we came to live in this house. We were glad because we didn't need to be worried about food, rain, coldness and crows. I was not sure why the son liked us, but the reason might be my brother. As soon as he got in this house, he run to the son and fawned on.　Even if I do say so myself, we were cute. For a few days after we got in the house, the son and the daughter were earnest about washing us. He took fleas from us and she washed our bodies with shower. I don't like shower, so I always resist being washed with shower. They named me Char and my brother Kie. We are glad to be able to eat food, shelter ourselves from rain and coldness. I am a friendly cat, so I got along with the members of the family soon, but my brother is shy, so he often hides in a closet. We like going out, but they prevented us from it because they would think that outside the house is dangerous for cats. They seem to be worried about us being hit by a car and fighting stray cats. And I heard that a cat that they had before didn't come back home after going outside. However, we often go out catching their napping. I have lived in this house for nine years, but my brother has not lived now with me. He has not come back after going out since five years ago. Their anxiety has become a reality. They were very worried about him and looked for as well as they could. Where have you gone? What are you doing now? Though I become the only cat in this house, I am happy to live here. Well, I am hungry, so I will ask for a meal to them.

Amazing voice I think everybody agrees that Whitney Houston is one of the greatest female singers. Her voice was amazing and she had a great success as a singer from the middle of the 80's to the 90's. You can listen to her amazing voice in her cover song "I Will Always Love You". However, she spent a difficult time from 2000 to 2008. She got hooked on drugs and violently attacked by her husband. She must have realized that she shouldn't keep going on such a situation. She divorced her husband and attended a therapy program for drug dependency. She released a new album in 2009 after she overcame hardships and she sang songs about her revival in the album. I like this album more than any other her albums because this album has the power that a woman tries to overcome hardships. My favorite song in this album is "I look to you". Three years after she released this album, she suddenly passed away. This song was sung by R. Kelly at her funeral. It was so touching.

What is the value of elderly people? We are not unavoidable to get old. The more we get old, the less we have physical fitness and the more our five senses decline. Elderly people are easy to be fired and are sometimes treated as a burden on society. However, during the time when mass media and social media didn't develop, the experience and information that elderly people had was precious and useful, so they were more respected than nowadays. What is the value of elderly people?

The mountain where aged people are thrown away Once upon a time, there is a mountain in a village where aged people were thrown away because of reducing the number of mouths. Ichiro who lived in the village was a very poor farmer and lived with his mother and wife and three children. They didn't have enough food and his children cried every day because of hunger. Ichiro's mother pitied her grandchildren and asked him to leave her at a place deep in the mountain. She thought that a little food should be shared among his family except her because she thought that she couldn't live longer than them. One day. he decided to leave her at a place deep in the mountain after much agonizing. When he was walking toward the depths of the mountain with having her on his back, he noticed that she sometimes dropped petals one by one. He asked her, "Why are you dropping petals?" She answered, "It is because you can get back without getting lost.". When he heard that, he realized how deep his mother's love was. He was very ashamed of his conduct that he tried to throw his mother away, and got back with his mother. Though they were poor, they lived together happily ever after.

The three most famous generals in Japan Four hundred years ago, the Imperial court of Japan didn't have much power and there were many generals everywhere in Japan. They fought each other in order to keep their opponents under their control. Oda Nobunaga beated most of his opponents and almost succeeded to keep his all opponents under his control, but he was assassinated by his subordinate just before keeping his all opponents under his control. Toyotomi Hideyoshi is a distinguished subordinate of Oda, he fought against Oda's subordinate who assassinated Oda and beated him. Then he brought the whole country under his rule. After Toyotomi Hideyoshi died, Tokugawa Ieyasu, who was also a distinguished subordinate of Oda, beated Toyotomi's family and subordinates and opened the Edo Bakufu. Bakufu is the Japanese government headed by a shogun. Oda Nobunaga was cruel and sharp, and looked down on people clinging to vested interests. He was definitely a reformer. Toyotomi Hideyoshi was a social and sympathetic person, so he was good at making allies. Also, he was a man of action and good at fighting. Tokugawa Ieyasu was a cautious and perseverant person. He was good at stratagems. There are three short phrases that describe their characters, Oda Nobunaga would say like this, "A little cuckoo, if you don't sing for me, I order someone to kill you." Toyotomi Hideyoshi would say like this, "A little cuckoo, if you don't sing for me, I make you sing." Tokugawa Ieyasu would say like this, "A little cuckoo, If you don't sing for me, I wait for you to sing." Which character do you like most?

The source of the new coronavirus Various raw meat are sold in Chinese food markets. When we deal with raw meat, we must be thorough with food safety management because viruses in raw meat are easy to propagate in dirty places. Food safety management in the food market in Wuhan seems not to be thorough. It is said that the source of the new coronavirus is bats. However, there is the other terrible fact that the food market in Wuhan where the new coronavirus was first found is only 30 km away from the institute for virus research. Of course, I don't affirm that the new coronavirus was leaked to the outside by mistake. It is a little possibility. I read about it in news, and some scientists refer to it and warm that the management of viruses in the institute is not thorough. I hope the new coronaviruses don't spread on further and the source will be found soon.

The Chinese doctor who first found the new Coronavirus died The Chinese doctor who first found the new Coronavirus died from the new Coronavirus given by his patient. He first found it in last December from his patients who came from the food market in Wuhan. He told other doctors about it, but he was arrested by the Chinese authority on a charge of spreading false information. He said that he could not deal with the new Coronavirus well because the Chinese Government forbade him to say anything about it. At the moment, in China, the number of people who are infected with the new Coronavirus is about 30000 and the number of deaths due to it is about 600. The number of them is increasing and the new Coronavirus seems to be spreading around the world. If the Chinese government dealt with the new Coronavirus when they first heard it from the doctor, it might not be such a serious situation.

What does "What he did" in this sentence mean? By and by Pooh and Piglet came along. Pooh was telling Piglet in a singing voice that it didn't seem to matter, if he didn't get any fatter, and he didn't think he was getting any fatter, what he did; and Piglet was wondering how long it would be before his haycorn came up. This is from "The House At Pooh Corner". Thanks in advance.
