The final blog!!

Hello. How are you? I am very sleepy, because I slept late at night. It was very cold today, wasn't it? Soon, we have many examinations and reports we have got to hand in. So I am very busy working on them. But soon after the examinations and reports, the spring vacation will come. So I am looking forward to it. I will go to Los Angels , and Toyama and Osaka to meet with my relatives. Changing the subject, in this final blog, I can tell you about my changes in point of writing. About for a year, I wrote many academic writing through writing skills of Leyda professor. In April, I was surprised by the differences of writing in English, such as essay, academic paper and my this blog. I did not sleep well, because I took too many hours to finish each assignments. I did my best, but I did not feel the achievements of my writing because I did not take pride in all of my writing in English. Gradually I got to used to write long and academic sentences in English, accumulating my assignments. Then I took not many hours than before, and it occurred to me what should I write next. So thus I am be able to write academic one in more short time and fluently than ever That is the changes of my writing. But I am not satisfied with my writing skill, and I will be not satisfied with it hereafter. I got to be used to write in English, but I want to improve more and more, because my writing is still immature. So in next grade, I do make efforts to be able to take pride in my writing. Especially, I need to work on vocabulary,because I often have trouble in translating my feeling or thinking into the most appropriate word. It makes me uncomfortable. I think, if one has a command of vocabulary, he or she is very good at English. Then, now what I can do well now is expressing in understandable words as possible as I can. In my blog, I got to be able to express my feeling and thinking as well better than ever.In these points, I can tell you that I am good at expressing.


But, I am not proud of my writing still now, so I would like to take pride in my writing. In order to be able to write in English very well, I must to continue writing on my weakness, such as vocabulary. So I will do my best in this year, too. Then in my final essay, I think it is most difficult to write smoothly transitions. I can write long sentences in English, but I am not good at transition, and my partner said to me "Your transitions need to be more conceivable", so I will work hard on it especially, comparing to another points such as grammar, vocabulary and expressions. I state many things about my writing now , but anyway I like English very much. I think I am very happy because I can study and learn my favorite thing, English, in best condition as being a student of Sophia University, so I will continue to think so hereafter. There are many friends who are very clever around me, so in order to be like them, I will try to do my best to go through hard things because of my weakness in English and go on tyring many things not to be afraid. In making progress in something, I think it is most important to get like to do what I do.

In the end, through writing skills class for a year, I learned a lot of important things in working on English. For example, I learned it is very precious to keep trying to make a effort always. Also I learned it is very good for us to finish assignments as fast as possible. By doing so, I can use extra time to do other things, and I can take advantage of time. Anyway I always feel happy to study and learn in this university and I feel that I got to be able to be better at my English than ever. I thank you very much, professor Leyda Julia.

This year's goal

Hello. How are you? In January, every day is very cold, isn't it? I am not good at this season, because I do not like cold. But snow is very wonderful and it makes people calm and happy. Do you skiing? i am good at skiing, but I have never snowboarding, so if you also do it, please teach me about it. I will do it in spring vacation, so I need some information about it. By the way, the year changed, now it is 2009. Do you have any goal or something what you want to do? Do you decide what you would like to achieve this year? I want to do more best to expand the way of thinking and looking though the achievements of many assignments. I want to speak English more fluently and have a command of vocabulary. I have got to study and learn as possible as I can. I want to study abroad, so I really do more best to improve my English skill. Many of my friends in Sophia University are very clever, so they are very influential for me. They are important person in this point. I do not postpone my assignments , and I try to finish them as early as possible because I use many times of finishing my assignments.









Also I want to be a good cook. Since I entered to this university, I have hardly cooked. I need to try to cook again. because I would like to be a good wife in the future. My mother is a very good cook, so I wish I could be a cook like her. My father is very happy to be married t to her, I think. Almost all my mother's cook are really good. I like her fried chicken of all the dishes which she cook. I am not able to cook one like it. I can make chocolate cake and cookie, but they are not essential food for us. So I will cook at least two times a week to be a good cook. It is one of my goal for this year, 2009.




Then I will take TOEFL in this spring vacation to pass the judgement for study abroad. I am not clever, so I can not pass it without hard devotion of TOEFL. I have took TOEFL only one time ever, and that was very difficult. Also I noticed again that I do not have a command of English enough. I also took TOEIC one time, it was in high school. It was two yeas ago. It was also difficult for me. I really must make effort to improve in my English. If this current is not changed and study abroad, I definitely will be hopeless about my English in foreign country.


In high school, I went to Canada for a week, ans then I noticed that I could not tell about my feeling or ideas in English better than I had expected. Then I really make more efforts to change my English skill, and then I went home and I employed English teacher and was taught English by him.



In this spring vacation, I will go to L.A with my friend about for a week. I am looking forward to it, but I have got to speak English as many times as possible, because I do not want to feel same way in Canada. Every day in this university, and I am influenced by my friends in good meaning because they can speak English very well and have a command of English. I wish I could speak like them. Any way in this year, I do my best and try to use English not only in this university but also in many places if I can. By doing so, I can approach my dream of "interpreter". I really would like to become it. About nine months have been passed since I entered to this university, but I wonder I got to speak English better than ever, so I think I will continue to do my best until I can be proud of my English. That is the most difficult matter for me, but continuing something will lead to a big happiness.
