I believe that volleyball is the only sport we can never play by ourselves. Today, I would like to prove that from a side of a rule and the special quality of volleyball.

But at the first, I want to speak the time that I have begun volleyball. 7 years ago, when I was a junior high school student, I began to play volleyball. the trigger was that I was invited the volleyball club by head coach in those days. Now I think head coach would invite me because I was height 165cm. When I had just begun, I could play nothing. Still, it was fun to get a point and to connect a ball, and all right. Therefore, I continue to play volleyball for 7 years.

From here, I would like to advance a main subject. As I told by the beginning, I believe that volleyball is the only sport we can never play by ourselves. Firstly, I try to prove it from the angle of the rule.

According to the rule book published by Japan Volleyball Association, “It is said that the biggest feature of the volleyball is  the sport which should not drop a ball only in the ball game. Volleyball is performed by 2 teams on the court chosen as a net. 2 teams return the ball to a partner court each other within 3 times without dropping a ball in a court”. the parts I want you to pay attention in particular are “We are not supposed to drop a ball in the court.” and “We have to return a ball to a partner within 3 times of touch.”. And of course, we must not touch a ball continuously twice by ourselves. But by other ball games, even if only 1 person touches a ball, it’s possible to make a score. However, in volleyball, there is tying of a rule and it’s difficult work to get a score by the first time of touch. When these are considered, we would find out that we can never play volleyball by ourselves.

Secondly, I try to talk about the theme I showed from the special quality of volleyball. In volleyball games, there are 5 positions. The positions are Wing spiker, Opposite, Middle blocker, Setter, and Libero. Wing spiker and Opposite’s role is an attack mainly. Middle blocker’s role is a block mainly. Setter’s role is to make a toss mainly. Libero’s role is receiving mainly.  As the above mentioned, the role is various. In other words, it can be said that a volleyball game is formed by the role’s of everything functioning. Even if only 1 position functions, we can’t win the games. Conversely, even if 1 position is lacked, we can’t win. In this point, it can be said that we can never play volleyball by ourselves.

In conclusion, we can never play volleyball by ourselves. I learned from volleyball that it’s an important thing to cooperate with my company and make up with something. Therefore, I’d like to continue to play volleyball from now on while feeling delight in the feeling of achievement by cooperating with my team mate.

This incident shows that the drug problem in the philippines is serious.

On 21st may, 5 participants have died at the outdoors music festival held at a mall of Asia (MOA), in a Pasai city. This incident proved that drug culture, which also gets illicit drug easily at a public place stand   out, permeated through Philippine.

Then why has such a case happened? I think that it is caused by the fact that security precaution at the time was too loose. The organizer of the festival said, “A prevention measure and as the strict guard was taken.” However, a guard isn’t arranged in the place, and a participant was uncontrolled condition. In other words, they just told the name, the age and a mail address by a reception desk and didn’t need presentation of a status proof certificate. Therefore  a minor could enter easily.

It was also possible to hide a drug and a drink in the clothes because only the bag they held in their hand was checked. Therefore,  even a minor easily obtained a drug and was able to bring it into the festival place.

Here is an idea that a regulation by police officer should be revised so that they can control a private event. However, there is a problem. It is that whether we can use authorities though it is a private event. we may spoil the pleasure of general people if we use authorities for a private event. Therefore without having to perform the use of authorities carefully, and being able to perform the regulation properly.

 

In the village in Ethopia bordering the South Sudan,citizens of more than 200 people died and hundreds of children have been taken away. Furthermore,2000 livestock were stoken.

The beginning of the case is that Murle tribe in South Sudan has invaded without permission of Ethiopian government suddenly. The tribe attacked Nuer tribe living between the two countries. Why did Murle attack Nuer? Because they need slave of the children for the purpose to make them work. In addition, they want to get livestock,lands,resources such as water and pasture right and so on.

To defeat this situation, the military of Ethiopia has killed 60 people of Murle tribe. however, the total number of them is not known.

Though there is it under such situation, the Leda communication phase emphasizes the relationship between the South Sudan government and Ethiopia is good.

My wanting you to pay attention here is that means  it is a tribe and a fight of a tribe not the fight of a country and the country. Why did such a situation happen?  Because South Sudan has been independent from Sudan recently, so South Sudan was not accompanied with political power. Therefore,It is thought that it was developed into civil war without being able to control a tribe.
