Video Game Controllers!!

Do you like to play video games?

I like them very much.
You play the game using a controller.

There are many kinds of controllers.



Gamepad
The first Gamepad was the "Famicom" controller.

It was very simple!

It had only a joypad and 2 buttons!






This was good for simple games but games because more complex.
Soon 2 buttons were not enough.
The Genesis/Mega Drive had 3 buttons and then 6 buttons!


Next came the Super Famicom.

It had a touchpad and 6 buttons.

2 buttons were on the controller`s "shoulders".



Apple made a game console.

The controller was very advanced.

It had a trackball in the center.

but it was not popular.





Atari made a very complex controller.
Few people liked it.


The Virtual Boy had 2 joypads.

The most famous controller is from PlayStation.


More controllers!


Dual Analog Controller


Nintendo 64
Dreamcast




Nintendo GameCube

Xbox

Xbox 360



Wii


Other controllers!








My favorite pen!

This is my favorite pen!

I know this pen doesn`t look so great but it`s the best pen for me.

Why is this pen so suitable for me?

This pen matches my personality.


First of all, I don`t like to spend a lot of money.

This pen is cheap.

I can buy 10 of these pens for 100 yen.

That`s just 10 yen for one pen!



My next point is I am very forgetful.

One pen costs only 10 yen so if I lose it I will not feel so sad.


I`m also forgetful when it comes to putting the pen into my pocket.




I like putting my pen into my shirt pocket.

But this can be dangerous!

I have ink stains on some of my shirts!

That`s terrible!

With some kinds of pens, it is easy to make this mistake.
But with my pen, it is easy to see if there is a cap or not.

I can keep my shirts for a long time.

This also saves money!

Do you have a favorite pen?

These days, more and more stores are opening branches overseas!

Many of these stores want to hire people who can speak English!

You should study English hard so you can get a job in one of these stores.

My winter vacation plan!

I will go to Ireland!

I will leave Japan on December 23rd.

I will come back to Japan on January 6th.

I will spend 2 weeks in Ireland.

There is no direct flight from Tokyo to Ireland.

I must transit in Amsterdam.

I would like to stay in Amsterday for a few days but I`m too busy.

My parents are getting older.

I must spend time with them.


I will drink a lot of black beer!
