A victory of Japan


The footbal world cup 2010 had already finished, and Netherland was the champion. Although Japan was not a winner, they was still happy.

After they had trained hard for many years for this football world cup, they could finally pass through the first round. There were only two teams of Asia and five teams of Asia-Pacific that could pass to the first round, and Japan was part of them. The Japanese people consequently was proud of their own beloved team very much.

Moreover, Japan got the ninth place from this competition and lead other well-known country, such as England, Italy and France. Being the 9th place was a great pride for every Japanese person.

Reasons why I choose this news are I am a fan of Japan football team, and I am glad that Japan football team was the one in last 16 teams.

Ishikawa hopes lessons learned at U.S. Open will help him at British Open



Ryo Ishikawa got 33rd in U.S. Open last month which better than 56th on last year. His problem was his physical stamina not strong enough for the tournament. To be in the leader group he need every bit of strength – mental and physical – he has.
Ishikawa is very popular golf player in Japan, once nicknamed “ The Bashful Prince “. He won his first event in amateur when he was only 15 year, turning pro in 2007 and won seven times on Japan Tour. He was the youngest player in top 100 world ranking.
He still working hard to win the major championships which has some improvement.



I think Ryo has more talented than people in the same ages. Ryo is trying to develop their skills all the time. Especially, if major competitions approach, Ryo will have more pressure. Although he got 33rd in U.S. open, he never stopped developing his skills. This is what he must try more and more than he did. As you can see, I think the people in same ages cannot do this like Ryo. Ryo show us about his achievement and abilities.
