Bog #5

Writing from tha article The Wisdom Years.

The difference between two article I read was what cause made our lives longer.
The reading from the text book puts its concentrate on the state of mind. It compares two emotions; optimistic, and pessimistic feeling. Optimistic people live longer than pessimistic people because they can recover from diseases faster and has minor chances to get diseases. Thus people who tninks positive in everything can live longer.
On the other hand, the article The Wisdom Years mentions improvement of hygiene made our life longer. Also, medical treatments are spreading to many people. Thus, not only our emotions made our life longer, but medical treatments support us.

I was born in Japan during the years of the Millennial Generation and I thought I am, if anythig,  Millennial. Points I am simmilat to Millennial are; aiming to fix the environmental destruction left behind by our parents, cooperative, socially involved, and express our ideas freely but not like Baby Boomers. Those attitudes are organized because of technological improvements. I hope many people put their forcus on the environmental problem more deeply than before. So that we can pass our generation to the future generation without or less problems that they will have to solve.

Hello, this is Yurie. I was born in Japan, but I spend half of my life out of Japan. For years in Singapore when I was little and five years in California, America from Middle School. My life in both countries were fantastic in the end and I really miss there. I sometimes thougt I want to live in America when I get old.
I'm belong to Honeys, which is hip-hop dance club, and ESS, which stands for English Speaking Society. Both of clubs are really interesting. Especially for ESS. I have a lot of fun time while we had trainig camp in Hakone.
My opinion of reading in English is that I want to read news paper articles in English. Also, I want to read movie's original story in English books, such as Harry Potter and The Narnia Stories.
I hope I can read much faster after I finish this course, Also, I wish I could read English books without stopping. :)
