My most Favorite Drama

Introduction
I like watching TV drama, so I will introduce about my most favorite drama. The name is “The Queen’s Classroom”. The reasons why I like this drama are the establishment of story is very unique, and the viewer can learn many things.

When you watch this drama, you may feel nervous or scary, but you will be surprised and impress at last.

・Main characters
Maya :The main actor,She can do and know everything
Kazumi : Maya's student,She is very cheerful character
Yusuke : Kazumi's classmate,He gets along with Kazumi.

・The plot of a play
Kazumi and her friends became the last grade of elementary school, but their teacher was very strict, and the atmosphere was very cold-blooded. The teacher decides all things with score of exams. If student oppose her opinion or order, the student is punished  strongly. Kazumi especially gets the teacher’s unreasonable punishment, and classmates gradually become dark. But Kazumi tries to change the class.  





Because of the story, this drama had a problem. This drama got a lot of criticism, teachers primarily have to teach moral sense, but this teacher discriminate students according to the score of exams, leaving bullying, and she scared some students. So it was criticized by PTA and other orgnizations when it started, but the producer didn’t change, and the criticism decreased gradually.
This drama was broadcast in Taiwan, Korea, Hong Kong, and other Asian countries.

Maybe there are some people have watched this drama, but if you haven’t watched this, I recommend to watch. People have already watched also watch again. You will be impressed and learn something.If you are interested in this drama, you can watch on youtube.

Kashiya Yokocho


I will search Kashiya Yokocho in Kawagoe. In English, Kashiya Yokocho is said an alley of confectionery. The reasons why I chose this topic are I like candy, and I’m not interested in temples. Kashiya Yokocho is a group of shops that sell cheap sweets. The street was started by Fujizaemon Suzuki in 1796. There are many cheap sweets.


The most popular sweet in the street is Fugashi, so many people go home from Kawagoe have  fugashi,but there are more sweet there. Sweet potato and purple potato soft ice cream, brittle, and average cheap sweets. Weigh candy is also popular thing. there are various color candy.

 If you want to eat other things, you can go to  tampopo an okonomiyaki shop. It is run an old lady, and the okonomiyaki is very delicious and cheap. The cost is 250 yen, so many people come there. It also has been introduced in magazines.



 If you are tired walking or standing, you should go to a rest place like an old Japanese house. The house has bamboo and narrow wooden passageway. You sit on the narrow wooden road, and then you may become composed. After you buy some sweets, you can eat the sweet on the narrow wooden passageway.


Kashiya Yokocho is enjoyable place from children to old people, so you can enjoy eating Japanese sweets and seeing street. If you become hungry when you are sight seeing in Kawagoe, please drop into Kashiya Yokocho.

TIU Library

I think most people have used library at least one time. Of course we can use library to read books, but library has more interesting things more you thinking. It has popularity novels, dictionary, special books, and etc. You can find your favorite books, or discover interesting books. Maybe you know library has many DVDs. The DVDs are variety from educational to entertainment. TIU students often go there in free time. You can also read newspaper and magazines. In this article, I will research how many books and DVDs this library has? When is the busiest and quietest time? Does this library have anything without books, newspaper, magazine, and DVDs?
