Graduation ceremony




This is one scene of the graduation ceremony of Ishibashi high school. It was just 2 months ago, but I felt much longer.
Our graduation ceremony was held on March 1. We were so excited at that moment. We took many pictures, went to other classes, wrote messages, we had fun. But when the ceremony had began, we felt very sad. Especially when the girl was giving an adress in reply.
After the ceremony, we were called by underclassmen of soft tennis club. They gave us the card and the cup for each of us. The picture above is the scene of having those. We had 9 third year, 6 second year, and 4 first year student in our club. We spend times almost everyday playing tennis, having fun, doing crazy thing, and sometimes had quarrel.
I missed them very much, but me and my friends are planning to visit them in summer vacation. I'm very looking foward it.

Satoru

Well, I wrote about my mother in today's class, so I would write about my father in here.

He's name is Satoru, and he was born in Yamaguchi prefecture. His family was pretty poor when he was little. He was really weak that he can't carry the heavy thing. But he tried hard to be strong. He was in basketball club when he was in junior high, and he was in arrow club when he was in high school. He was good at arrow, and he got many prizes by that.

After the three years from graduating high school, he could finally enter the university. In there, my father and mother have met. They married after they graduated.

Now he is working hard in Tochigi prefecture and living happily with his family.

Commercial for financial institution

Today, I would like to talk about this Japanese commercial:



Target audience

Since it was spoken in Japanese, this commercial is for someone who lives in Japan and can understand Japanese.

This commercial is the caution for people who is renting money or thinking to rent money from financial institution.
Also, people who is too lazy that they will be late to pay back money is the target audience.

Authority

Actually, this commercial didn't use anything but cup and water, so they din't rely on authority so much.

At the end of this commercial, it shows several names of financial institution, such as Takefuji, Akomu, Puromisu, Sanyousinpan, CFJ, GE consumer finance. These are the main financial institution in Japan.

Emotion

This commertial uses dark colar, dark back ground music, and low spilit voice to tell audience it is scary thing to rent money too much and not to pay back immediately.
As you can see, the light is blinking when the water is to be flood. This image can also effect people to be serious about money.

Logic/Imformation

In this commercial, you can see that the finacial institution can lend you money, but it will corner you into collapse of household economy if you rent too much.

Evaluation

The dark appearance and sound plays a big part in makes it serious.

On a scale of 1-10, I would give this commercial 8.
Though it uses just cup and water, I think it is pretty easy to understand. And this commercial tells us the money is not the thing that you can lend or save easily, so you have to rent, use, pay back deliberately before it will be too late.
