                       Today I am going to introduce about Tanabata (七夕)


The Tanabata Festival | KCP International Japanese Language School



I know people have heard or tried to do some Tanzaku(it's a tanabata thing). However we don't know why it is called Tanabata and Tanabata's history.

So I am going to talk about Tanabata history. Beginning in ancient China, Tanabata is an event that combines the legend of a star festival where Kyunyu and Shokujosei meet once a year in the Milky Way with rituals to pray for improvement in Hataori weaving, sewing and calligraphy. Around the Nara period, it was introduced to Japan and began to be held as a court event.

The reason why it is called Tanabata is because, every year on the night of July 7th, the custom of hanging colorful strips and decorations with wishes written on them from bamboo leaves and praying to the stars still remains.

Today I am going to talk about　The ***NEW*** Twitter!  　　　　　 　            In my opinion I think the change is a very good change.  First of all I think this new Twitter has a more fair chance to get famous to everyone. Past twitter is all about how famous you are and good person you are then, you get the blue check mark. However, the New twitter CEO changed everything, and he changed the famous people blue mark system to subscription blue mark system. So now the new twitter is easier to post and use the blue mark system. Secondly, there is an unknown reason for BAN in twitter. In the past there were some, like Kanye West, James Corden, etc. those people also do not understand why they did get banned. However, from the new twitter changes they get unbanned and all those rules are open and now people can take care about the ban system. Conclusion, I think those changes are really good changes, because these systems make social network life more fair.

First of all, I want to tell thank you to Teacher  Ken!  In this Class I actually learn a lot of things.  Before I actually took this class I was kinda worried about this class assignment. Because I never tried to make a website in my life. However in class actually making a website was easier than I thought. The best things In this class is that I can think about myself. Usually I am busy so I have no time to think about myself or my life stuff. That is why I have a hard time being myself and I always get mentally depressed or something. So I really Appreciate and Learn a lot ! thank you SM!
