The Climate of New Zealand


Hi! I’ll introduce about the climate of New Zealand. I’ll explain two points: New Zealand Seasons, and New Zealand Temperatures.

In New Zealand, it does not have continental climates in most parts, so it does not have a large range of temperature. However, the weather of New Zealand can change unexpectedly. For instance, tropical cyclones quickly disappear. Because of this, you should prepare in case it happens sudden changes of weather and temperature.Next, I'll introduce seasons. In New Zealand, they have four seasons. (as follow)

Next, I'll introduce about temparature in New Zealand. In New Zealand, it has a largely mild climate. In the north, it has subtropical weather during summer, and in inland alpine areas of the South Island, it is as cold as -10 C in winter, most of New Zealand lies close to the coast, which means mild temperatures, moderate rainfall, and abundant(enough) sunshine. New Zealand lies in the Southern Hemisphere, so the average temperature decreases. The north of New Zealand is subtropical and the south temperate. The warmest months are December, January and February, and the coldest months are June, July and August. In summer, the average maximum temperature ranges from 20 to 30ºC and in winter from 10 to 15ºC.

Like this, it is made from wood, and it has a lot of lanterns. Danjiri is also in the shape of a shrine or temple.

My Summer Vacation


My summer vacation
In this summer vacation, I went back my hometown in Osaka, and there, at first, I met again my friends who has known for 6 or 7 years. To my surprise, they changed hair color, so when I saw them, I didn’t know them; although I changed hair color. I really enjoyed with them. A few days later, I went to
school with my friends which I graduated to meet my classroom teacher and my juniors who belongs to baseball club. My classroom teacher said to me “ You so changed!! I don’t know what you are.” And when I saw my juniors, I was astonished at the sight of practicing, because they didn’t know a rule of baseball and they practiced in silence. I thought that I must change these situations, and teach them a rule of baseball when I saw these things because I cannot rest for worry.

Next day, I joined the baseball practice. Generally, although they greet when they see their senior and their senior join a practice, my juniors didn’t do such a thing. So I got mad at them, and I told them off. When they started to practice, they tackled seriously, but they practiced in silence as expected. One of my friends said “Don’t practice in silence!!” After this, they raised their voice little by little. It kept on going for a month. I exhausted very much, but I felt achievement.

What I enjoyed in this summer vacation was camp in
Lake Biwa. I went to Lake Biwa with my friends. First day, we enjoyed BBQ. After that, we displayed fireworks and a rocket. After finishing firework, we were going to go spa, but it happened an accident. It was …………………flat tire!! I got very nervous. But next day, I had my car fixed, and we went to Kyoto, and there we especially nothing. But maybe I remember this camp!!

Baseball

Hi everyone!! How's it goin'?? I examined about baseball this time, because I love baseball though you may know. At first, I'm going to show you about the origin of baseball.


The origin of baseball is not clearly revealed, but a lot of experts say that baseball is derived from townball which is a ball game in Britain. In Japan, Horace Wilson who visited Japan in 1871 and was a teacher, thought baseball to his students. After his teaching, baseball spread widely.


Secondly, what I examined is differnces of baseball between in Japan and in America. At first, in Japan, the number of game per a day is one game, but in America, the number of game per a day is sometimes two games. Another is balls. American balls are hard to blast home runs compared with Japanese balls.



What I examined about baseball is these two things. Anyway, High School Baseball will take place at Koushien before long. I've already worked up!! Do you think which high school will get a pennant??

Exercise


Hello, everyone!! I researched about physical evercise.Anyway, take a look at this(^.^) I think he has good muscle!! Now, I'm going to explain.

A physical exercise is any bodily activity that enhances or maintains physical fitness and overall health. It is often practiced to strengthen muscles and the cardiovascular system, and to hone athletic skills. Frequent and regular physical exercise boosts the immune system, and helps prevent diseases of affluence such as heart disease, cardiovascular disease, Type 2 diabetes and obesity. It also improves mental health and helps prevent depression.

From these things, I think it is important for us to exercise because we can protect against big disease by exercising. I also think exercising makes us comfortable, and we may have something to live for by exercising. So let's exercise before you are lack of exercise!!
