Journal J


Today, I would like to write about computers and the Internet, especially some benefits and disadvantages of the Internet.  The Internet are very useful, because we can do anything by ones, for example, e-mailing with someone even if he/she lives in the other side of the earth almost free, chatting with someone wherever they live almost free, watching YouTube, listening to various music in the world, Skype with anyone, Facebook, Twitter, and so on.  I don’t have space to write the Internet’s benefits and I omit.  

 As you know, there are many benefits, but there are some disadvantages.  For example, we don’t know what happen on the Internet.  If you were finding a girl/boyfriend online, you would be able to tell lies to her/him.  If you told lies, the secret wouldn’t be out until meeting.  So, you may be told lie, but you may believe her/him.  After meeting, you found that is a lie, but you may not be able to escape.  The accident may happen.  In the past, there are many troubles and cases, so we can’t say positively that the Internet is safe.  In addition, we can see anything and everything.  You may see something you do not want to.


 Do you know Information gap?  This refers to the gap that has arisen between those who are not literate and literate information technology.  I think some of people use computers too much, but other should use computers more.  Computers are very useful, but we can use it too much during class and chatting with friends.  I think it is strange and we have to use it when you are in good time and place.  To be sure, computers are complex, but we are easy to collect information.  So we have to tell those who not literate how to use computeres.

 Please sit down in front of the case and open the case.  First of all, we attach a neck strap to pick up the sax.  After we attach a neck strap, we pick up the sax.  Please take care of your neck because tenor sax is heavy unexpectedly.  In summer, your neck will become sweaty.  I used to use a towel between a neck strap and neck.

Next, we choose a today’s reed which is made ​​of very delicate Kane by its appearance, wood grain, and darkening and so on.  After we choose it, we set it up a mouthpiece which is sound generated in the mouthpiece leads to vibration by a ligature which is clamp to secure the reed and the mouthpiece.  There are many various mouthpieces and ligatures, so we need to choose best for us.  If you don’t know which choice is best for you, you can ask a person of a shop for musical instruments.

After we choose a mouthpiece, ligature, and reed, we put on cork cream with cork which is the part that connects the neck and mouthpiece.  Neck is body part that connects the mouthpiece and tube.
