My winter vacation.

Hello, and a happy new year!!! Did you enjoy your winter vacation?? Of course I was a lot of fun!! I spent the days with many people, my friends, my family and my relatives. I really enjoyed very much. For me, this winter vacation was too short. It was only about two weeks. Then I tell you about my winter vacation.On December 23, I spent with my circle member in Ropponngi. We held Christmas party there. It was great time there. We played game, drunk, ate too much and exchanged our own presents each other. My senior planed this Christmas party. I really appreciate of his kindness. In reality, he made effort to book the restaurant in Christmas season, and it was in Ropponngi. I thank you greatly. We played bingo, and card and so on. All the time was very happy for me. I was very glad to be with my circle member and spend with them on December 23. I am looking forward to next Christmas party!!Then on December 24, I spent with my family. Every year we spent together. I was very happy to spend with them this year, because my brother is very busy practicing basketball in his high school and we hardly spend together in 2008. I gave them Christmas presents , and my parents gave one to me. I was given a very cute neck less and ring. It was supreme for me. The neck less is fine one, and the color is pink gold. I love jewelry like the neck less, I did not tell them, but why did they know it? I really wondered, but parents love children and know very well about own children, so my parents noticed that. Every day I wear it, of course while now I am writing. The jewelries my parents gave me are my treasures. Every time I see them, I become happy and really think I am so lucky to be born in my family. Always I thank them, and love them with all my heart.Then on December 25, Christmas, I spent with my friends in high school. We are a dance team, and we know well about each other, so we are really good friends. We lent the room for our Christmas party. we spent there from six to eleven, and then we went karaoke to sing and dance. The party was great and I felt my friends were really essential person and friends are precious for every person. All of us brought handmade dishes at the party, such as a cake, fried chicken, salad ,Japanese dishes and so on. The whole dishes were very good taste and they are good cook. I want to be more better cook. I made nikujaga. Do you know nikujaga? I love it, and I am good at cooking nikujaga. If I become a wife of someone, I want to make it him. This year i have a goal for my cooking. I practice my cooking and try to cook as many times as possible.Any way I was very happy to be with them on December 23. In 2008, I had three Christmas parties, and all of them were lots of fun. I feel supreme. I am proud of my family and my friends.I went to Osaka to meet my grandfather, grandmother and my relatives. For long time I had not seen them, so I was looking forward to meeting them and eating together. But I ate too much in Osaka. Every time I went there, I really got weight. My grand parents always offer rich food such as crab, sushi when I go there. Every meal is so good and they cook and offer only my favorite food, so I eat too much without my weight. Next time I do my best not to do so. I went there with my father, taking Shinkansen. Shinkanse is always very comfortable. The best point of it is very quiet nevertheless it runs in very high speed. I spent at my grand parents' house for three days, from December 30 to January 2. I was very happy to across the year with them, but next time I want to go there with all of my family.This winter vacation, I was very happy to spend with many people. I have wonderful family and friends and relatives, so I am very glad. I want to talk about winter vacation, let's talk with me!!

Christmas has been coming.

Hello. It was so fine and warm day, wasn't it? I was always happy today because of the nice weather. By the way, do you like winter? I do not like cold weather, but because there are many beautiful illuminations in many cities, including my city Yokohama and in December there is a special day "Christmas", I love this season. Then the other day, I went to Tokyo Disney Land with my friends in high school. I was very looking forward to meeting them rather than going there. I love them, and they are best friends of all my friends. This season is the best season to go to Tokyo Disney Land, I think. I recommend you who have never been there to visit there in winter. I go there and see many wonderful illuminations , then I feel as if I was in the different world and wonder land. I went there three times this year. Every time I went there, I always felt happy, but there is one point I want to make out. Tokyo Disney Land is like a witch land because I spend much money on foods or souvenirs without thinking. My friends said to me, 'You buy too many things and spend too much money', so the next time I do try not to spend much money on them. Anyway, I had great time there. I was happy to be here with them and see 'Electrical parade' and beautiful illuminations. Next year I will go there absolutely. What I want to say about that day is that I felt Christmas has been coming. I like Christmas of all the annually event. Every year I spend that day with my family or friend. I am really happy at the night of Christmas, because I can eat splendid and luxurious dinner which are different from usual dinner. I love to eat , so I really happy to eat them. Also I can be given presents from my family instead I give it to them. I love to give presents to someone, so I feel supreme. Everything at Christmas night is spacial thing, so I am really happy. Now in the world many terrible affairs happen, but it seems to me that at Christmas everyone is happy. In these ways, I love Christmas. Every year at Christmas I enjoy. This year I am to spend that day with my friends in high school. There are seventeen people. We lend the party room for Christmas party in our local area, and each other will bring foods or sweets which one made there. Our party is held every year. Last year we held Christmas party at the party room in condominium I live. It was wonderful time and I am looking forward to it this year. Twelve days are left until Christmas Day. Do you have any plan? If you have nothing special, I recommend you to spend with someone special and have plan what you do. Christmas Day is an only one day, so we should enjoy by exchanging presents or spending your partner or family or friends. That day make you happiest absolutely, I think. Also, Christmas Eve I will spend with SSC(the circle)members in Ropponngi. Thus we hold a Christmas party there. We wear classic dress. I can not wait for the day. Nowadays I was so busy for activities at dance circle, so I could not go to SSC circle. I can spend with them all the day, so I am looking forward to it. This year many things happened to me, including good news and bad news. For example, I passed the entrance examination of this Sophia University. That is the happiest thing in my life even now. I felt I was not what I was. It seemed that everything is new and special, when soon I entered to this university. Also, I made many friends both of male and female. To have many friends is very good for us, so I learned the importance of not being shy.

In the end, if you want to make better memory for this year, you suold not spend Christmas Day like usual day. Thus you are to enjoy that day!! That day will be wonderful day and be fruitful day for the left days until next year 2009. I also enjoy with my friends. It makes me really happy , I think.

The good experience through dance.

Hello. How are you, today? I am fine, but very sleepy. Recently it is about for three or four hours to sleep. So, I really sleepy, I think it is important for us to sleep enough for six or seven hours everyday. The function if my brain does not well, because I do not sleep enough. I often forget to do or things and feel tired. I have a lot of things to do, including assignments. But everyday I dance by late night, so I often arrive at my home at 24:00 or 24:30. And then I take a bath, and do my homework and prepare for next day's class. On November 29, we dance circle perform dance at the live house in Shibuya.




By the way, I tell you about my wonderful experience through dance. I did perform dance in Waseda University Festival on November 3, and it was wonderful and grateful time. About for two months, we danced together everyday, and I got to know them well and got more closer. I really appreciate their kindness. They are very kind in many point, for example, when I did not understand certain the choreography of our girls dance, they taught me about it in detail. I had full consciousness of thanks. If I see someone is same situation as me, I will help him or her.



I wish I could help someone through dancing. Now I can not dance very well, but it did not have the end: The more I practice it, the better I can dance. So I continue to do it. By doing so, I would be a good dancer some day. I am looking forward to it.



And then as you know, on November 29, we perform dancing. I practice it also today in Shinjuku. Each one does not have enough time to practice it every day, so some of us who can do it gather and prepare for the day. At first I was very worried about our performance, but now I can not wait for the day. We have practiced it more and more. Last Saturday, we danced all the night, 24:00 to 5:00. It was so hard and I was so sleepy, but we managed it. I have noticed that we love dancing really. If we do not love it, we can not do it all the night. Some people think we are strange and very serious, but almost of my circle are used to doing it through the night. Anyway we love it. I am very happy to spend ever day doing what I really love. People who found their preference would be absorbed in it. So I recommend you to try to find some preference, you will lead a more wonderful life than you had expected.


This time performance, we separated the group which was structured by five or six members. And I am member of "jazz hip hop". Do you know it? It is something like hip hop, but it is a little sexy. I like this genre. Because it is not until cool, but also sexy. And we have to cooperate with each other to make out performance successful. Each one had to choreograph, decide costume and so on. But we did make it. All we need to do is practice and practice. We have five days by November 29, but we do our best and make efforts to make the day wonderful.


I think now there are people who do not have their habits or something what you are absorbed in. Because of this, they can cause madness, many terrible affairs. I really want them to try to find something they have interested in. To begin with, they need to start anything you can do and if they can find it, I want them not to give up doing things. I want them to continue doing their preferences. If this thing would be continued, the terrible affairs in the world will decrease. So to find our own favorite things is really important for every one.



For me, to practice dancing is the most enjoyable thing of all things. While I am dancing, I really happy. I have danced for only three years, but I have learned a lot of important things through it, and I love it. If I had not started to dance, I would not have made an effort to do something. I wish I could be a good dancer, it is one of my dreams.

The school festival☆☆

Hello. How are you? Was today a good weather,wasn't it? Winter has coming soon, I feel so through the weather. Do you like winter? What season do you like best? I like spring the best. And I am so good, because I really enjoyed and had good experience at the school festivals in Sophia University and Waseda University. As I mentioned many times in other blogs, I join the dance circle in Waseda University. Many of under graduates also had a lot of fun of his or her own school festival, and it is only one time in a year! I love such as a special event. Did you enjoy the school festival? If you do not mind talking about that topic with me, I would like to do chatter with you.



We Sophia University held the Sophia Festival from November 1 to 3. I saw many people visiting our university. I was very happy to see that. Our circle sold 'nikumann' . It means that the center of it is made of meat and some vegetables and the outside is made of something like soft bread. It is hard to express in English, but it is very nice and I love it. So, if you do not know 'nikumann', it is available in everywhere, but especially in winter, I recommend you to buy it. In Japan, the food is very popular and loved by every one ,so you will like it. Our circle won the second place of all the booth. We were very happy for that good news. On November 7, we will be given prize for that place. I am looking forward to it, because I do not know what we will be given. Our circle is a sport circle, so we had never given one's cooperation to achieve something like this time activity ever. So, I really had a lot of fun, because I could see the another good point of every one ,and I especially enjoyed the prepare for the festival. On October 31, we started to build our booth. Some wrote the poster, some carried heavy things something like cooler box, and some built it. Each other played a role, and we had sense of fulfilment. We evidently get more close before the Sophia Festival. Such an event would do person who make efforts good. That is why I like this kind of events. I first experienced the school festival after becoming an university student, and in fact it was so fun. Next year, we would like to win the first place of all the booth. I can not wait for next year's festival.


On the other hand, I performed dance in Waseda University Festival as a member of Waseda University Breakers. It was very fun, and I really had lots of fun!!!!!!! I had never performed it in front of so many peoples about 3 thousand. Our dance circle is well-known by people who dance in university. We performed for two hours. Many people came to see our performance, lining. I really felt excited and best pleasure. I was always very happy while we were performing it. I never forget this memory in the future. We practiced dance ever day until late at night for that festival. I have missed the last train and took the taxi once, because we danced until very late at night. We cooperated each other to make the best stage, so we made the best memory together. We were very tired and sleepy, but we love the very dance! We naturally would like to dance! I was so busy and I have a lot of homewrok , but I managed it. We worked out it and made it!! We performed it as a end of the Waseda University Festival. Was it wonderful thing, wasn't it? I was definitely happy. Through these experiences both Sophia University Festival and Waseda University Festival, I think the cooperation is very important to get close each other, and it is wonderful to do my favorite thing. And it is important for every one to work hard for something. Today, there are many people who spend everyday casually, so they should do start to motivate to look for something enable to work hard. I suppose it is very essential for many people. I wish I would do continue dancing and lead a fruitful life.

The special day.

Hello. How are you? As you know, I am fun. I really enjoyed your class also today.






I love going shopping and now want to do that. Do you like going shopping?






Recently I have not went shopping, so I feel like spending much money on clothes.




By the way, almost of people have personal special day. Of course I have one.






It is my parents' wedding anniversary. It is on October 22. Every year I give them present.






I love them, and my heart have filled with thanks to them. I really can not imagine my life without them. Perhaps I depend on them, but I always try to do things for myself. They always stand by me when I am disappointed by something bad. I do not tell, but they notice my changing feel. I do not know why they notice it soon. Because of them, I am really helped. In the point of mentality and physicality, I can not imagine my life without them. I certainly love them.





Last Saturday, they went lunch and shopping. A my mother was bought the ring for the 20th





wedding anniversary by Father. I am impressed that they have been together for a long time, and I wish I could be happy as them in the future. I want to be a good wife for someone who will marry me. I am just wondering who I will be together. I am looking forward to one, while I am a little worried about whether one will appear or not. Anyway they look like so happy.





I gave present to them; it was handkerchief. It contained their names. I was really happy because both of my parents looked very happily and they said to me, "We are very happy with you. We likes your presents. " I felt my life was so wonderful and beautiful. I wish I could have such as my family. And I would like to marrying a wonderful person in the future.




Any way, the day was full of happiness. Next year I would like to give them more better presents. And I will make them surprised. I am looking forward to doing this. I think a family




is really essential for everyone. Perhaps some people do not think so, but they do not feel love from their parents. It is so sad thing.







I have another special days. They are birthday of my family. If the days come, we often go dinner nearby my house. It is something like custom. We go to many places to eat dinner, and

I have may favorite restaurant of them. It is red lobster restaurant. It has many delicious foods something like deep fried oysters. I love it. The deep oysters is best of all restaurants, I think. I like seafood. We give presents to one who comes birthday, when we go dinner. Every time we go dinner, I feel like one hour is more soon passed as usual. The time is important for happy life, because my brother and I have been busy in having a lot of things to do since we gradually grew up. Some people do not have such as a special days, so I think they make the days for themselves. It causes them to a happy life. I do not always think what is a family like, but it is very important that each other are considerate to their family. To be frank with you, people who do not feel actual love from their family can not love other people, I think. So, if I marry someone and have my family in the future, I love my family and express my feeling for them. By doing so, I can make my family more happy. Many people have their own special days, so I think I want them to consider the days are very essential. On December, my mother comes birthday, so I will do a special thing for her, and I would like to go to more delicious restaurant as usual. I am looking forward to the day, and I wish I could make my mother happy with my surprise present or event. I do not decide what to do, but I bought presents for her. I do not know what my father and brother will give her, and perhaps they also make her happy. Anyway really I think my family is my treasure.

Leading an active life is a fulfillment.

Hello. How are you? I am very fun, but recently I am a little tired.




The Halloween is coming soon. Do you like Halloween?





I love it, because I am able to eat many pastries.





And I will make something like a cake or cookies.I give them to my friends, and





I wish they would eat happily. I often make cookies. I am not good cooker, but I want to be a good one, and I will become a good wife for someone.




I like giving presents for someone, because I am just happy to




be seen their delightful.









As I mentioned I belong to the dance circle in Waseda University in the last blog, I am very very busy now. I have activities three times a week, and the day without the activities I have a part time job. And I have a lot of homework. So, I have only one day that I take a rest. Comparing to the last semester, I am much




busier than ever. My friends often said me, 'You are very busy, but you have a sense of fulfillment. '




I am happy to hear that, but I do not want to whine about my daily lives because of the busy.




It is over 12 a.m.that every time I come back to my house after the activity.




And then I do my homework, so I always go to bed lately. I can not sleep well, so



recently I am very sleepy. But I spend happy life and have a sense of fulfillment.



Then I reform dance in November 3. We circle do dance in 18 :00 to 20:00.



Two weeks are left until the school festival. I am looking forward to it all the time.



Now I can not dance very well, but I practice it more and more to be a good dancer.



I have learned the importance of be proud of myself through the activity. But I think



being of proud myself too much is not good. Thus, it is important to pride myself on to some extent. Only on dancing, I am be able to take pride in my self. So, it is essential for me to



spend ever day life happy, because I do not pride myself on the other sides of me.



At last semester, I thought I was busy in myself, but now I really have a lot of things to do, and



really lead an active life . Right now, I think a busy day leads to a fulfillment.


Every one do not always feel this feeling, but some people who do best to do something


could experience this without knowing. It is best thing.





Also, I have learned the importance of seeing widely. By doing so, one can guess what someone is thinking or feeling. It is very important to get along with people, I suppose. Since I decided to join the dance circle, I have changed the way of thinking or looking or something like that.

Anyway I have been positive thinking since then. It is as if I were not what I was.

It is evidently right that I think I am happy for the member of the activity.

I really love dance and the members.

And I have belonged to another circle in Sophia University. I also love the members. They are good person. At late I have not done the activities with them. That is why I join to the dance circle. I miss them, but we have a meeting once a week on Wednesday. It is one pleasure of me.
Until I finish the perform on November 3, I can not go to the activities of another circle, but on November 9 we will play valley ball, so I am looking forward to that. And I will do my best to perform well. Really today, I will dance in Waseda University. I am writing this article by the time I have to go there.

As I mentioned, I have felt the sense of fulfillment since I joined to the dance circle. I spend my daily lives very happy.
To tell the truth, I am very busy, and have a lot of things to do, but I do not want to give up and complain about my life. I had wanted to dance, so I spend very active life.

That's all, thank you.

My goal for this Autumn semester.

Hello. How are you today? I am so fine, and it is a fine day, isn't it? I like this season, autumn.




The leaves turn red and it is getting cooler. I love autumn. What season do you like best?









By the way, I will tell you about my goal for this semester in this blog.




Last semester, I got to used to writing long sentences, and essays in English. At first I really could not enjoy writing essays and long sentences, but gradually I got to have fun with my writing. Still now while I am writing, what I should write next occurs to me. It is so fun for me.




Some people can not enjoy their writing, but they would work out and be used to doing that, so




I think it is important for us not to give up early. If you do that, it means you face the end of your skills. Now I am not good writer, but I will do my best also in this semester, and




I want to write essays and use fluently more idioms or grammers: thus I want to develop




my English skills in many ways.









This semester started on October 1. So far I have a lot of things to do, and many home works.




And I have activities of my dance circle three times a week, so I am very busy doing my things,




but I will not give up, because I do not want to regret what I done. I am busy now, but I really




enjoy every day, and I recently think busy gives me a sense of fulfillment.




I love dance, so when I dance, I really forget gad things for me. In many ways, busy leads




to a fulfillment.

Tomorrow I dance in Shinjuku. We dance circle dance about three or four hours every time.

It is so hard, but I feel happy, and think it is wonderful to do what I really want to do.

Before I joined to the dance circle, I spent joyful days,but the days of a late are more wonderful

for me. And I usually have a part time job on Sunday or Saturday. I work as a waitress in the restaurant. The restaurant is nearby my house, and it takes three or four minutes to go there from my house. The restaurant is often full of people who are various age's people.

I have learned a lot of things through my part time job. For example, I got to see more widely

than ever, and notice what visitors want me to do without being told by them.

It is sign that I am used to my part time job. Last month I had a lot of jobs in the restaurant, and

I will earn much money because of it.

Now I change the subject. Today I talked with foreign person about for five minutes.

I have not talked with foreign people for a long time, so I had great time with her.

We chattered with her about usual things what happened of a late. And we exchanged each

opinions about that, and we got to be more closely. It was wonderful time.

And I realized I came to hear English more fluently than ever, so I am very happy for that.

Because of such as a special feeling, I really think I am a lucky person to learn and study English.

But I found I could not speak English, and what I want to say did not occur to me soon.

So, in this semester I will talk with more foreign people and speak English more fluently.

It is one of my goal for this semester. Any way I will do my best, and I have a lot of things to do, but I never give up.

I also know the rest and refreshment are so important, and my friends or my family often tell

me to take a rest, so I forget to take a rest. When the payday comes, I will go shopping with my friends. But I can not do that until the university festival ends.

Finally, in this semester I will do my best to get to use more various words and idioms and grammars. I really want to be able to speak English more fluently so I talk to more foreign people. These are my goal.

That's all. Thank you.

This summer vacation

Hello. Long time no see. Did you enjoy your summer vacation? I had a great time. To tell the truth, this first vacation that I entered this university was a little longer than ever. May be it is also the point of time, but I really missed my friends. So, yesterday it was really fun to meet them. By the way, in this blog I will tell you about my summer vacation and next blog will be my goal for this semester.

I went to a lot of places. For example, my father and I went to Osaka for two days.

I had not met with my relatives in Osaka before I went there in this summer. I was really looking forward to meeting with them. So, as soon as I met them, I got to be so happy, and they looked so happily too, we always hug every time we meet. It makes me comfortable. But, it was strictly raining in Osaka as if the road is a river. I never experienced like the raining day in my life. In the way, I can't forget this visit. Then, we went dinner, and the restaurant reminds me of my young times in Osaka. Really we family lived in Osaka about for six years. I still remember the times there. So, I love Osaka. In the restaurant we had chattered with each other, and had great time. The dinner was so so, anyway I felt happy to spend time with them. my brother and my mother did not go this time, because he had activities of basketball club team.

I wanted them to come with us, but next time may be worked out, I think. So, I can not wait for going and seeing my relatives in Osaka.

Then, my father, my mother and I went to Nagano as a family trip. The reason why we chosen Nagano was the place where my brother was there to play basketball with his club team. Since he and I grown, we family seldom go on a trip.

So, I had very very great time in Nagano. We a little drunk and talked about various things that each had. Through this trip, my family got to be more friendly than ever. I love my family. I wish I could go on a trip with all of my family some day. Next trip can be better than ever.

Also, I met with my friends in high school and junior high school. My friends in high high school and I went to Chiba to camp. We also swam in Kujukurihama. That place is very famous for the swimming ocean place. We cooked together, and had a barbecue. We also had a fire works. The first day of Chiba we swam. The sea had a lot of wavelets. For a long time we were swimming. It was best fun.

Every time I spent time withe them, I feel very very happy because I have such wonderful friends. They are really good persons. I love them. Frankly speaking, I can not imagine the days and my good memories without them in high school. So, I think I am a lucky person.

Then, recently I belong to dance team in Waseda University.

I was invited my friend to join the team together. At first, I did not feel like join it, but it was true that I really wanted to dance, so I decided to do that. We club team dance three times a week, and we perform dance on 3 November. So, as soon as the date is coming, we will dance every day. I have a lot of homeworks and a lot of things to do, but I will do my best. I am really looking forward to performing; the school festival in Waseda University. I want my friends as many as possible to see us. Anyway I love to dance.

In September, I had a lot of part time jobs. The most week was five times a week. I was really tired of my part time job, but I need money to do dance, so it is OK.

Finally, I had great time with many people. I enjoyed very much in this summer.

The final blog

Hello. How are you? I'm a little sleepy today.






And my friends and I congratulated the birth day of our friend who will be nineteen this Sunday. She is so cheerful and be loved by every one. She is good person. Of course I like her very much, and she is my good friend. We have known each other since this spring; we became friend at this University. I made her misannga.And I gave her it and pierced earring I bought at the general store nearby my house. The presents made her so happy, and when I saw her delighted by it, I was so happy too.






I want to keep good company with her after graduating from this University. And today was raining in the evening. I hope that the rainy season will be over as soon as possible.






By the way, this semester will finish soon. And I will tell you about my writing. Then, at first I took so long time to write my blog and finish each essay. I remember realizing how difficult first writing blog (700 words) was. It was so hard to me, but after finishing it, I was relieved and felt happy. I had impression that the blog was harder than academic writing, but now I feel the latter is so hard. And I had no idea about what I should write and thought whether all of my writing was wrong and bad and filled with failure. Anyway I had no pride in my writing. And I did not like writing essay and was not good at writing long passage in English.






However, accumulating academic writing, I am getting used to it. Gradually, I realize how I should approach to it, and now I do not dislike to write long sentence in English. And I noticed that I could write whatever I want to write and want one to know in this blog. So, now I like writing this blog, and the important things in writing are that we have better not having negative ideas about it, and be positive thinking. Because of these things, I could take a little pride in my writing. I think my academic writing has changed in the point of approaching and the way of thinking about the writing.





Then, I think the continuation is very very important thing, so I feel I still need to work on. And it is also vital to think what to write and do the best to write in English, and look for the mistake in own writing. These things lead still better writing for us.





Then, I do not think I can do well now. And I am not satisfied with my academic writing. But it is evident that I feel differently compared to the first impression which I had about in April. At first I wrote the assignments, taking what to write and how to write too seriously. And I felt so tired every time I wrote.Anyway I was not proud of all of my writing. But I did my best. And I had not felt refreshing after the works I had to do.





Yet now I'm be able to write this blog smoothly, enjoy writing with positive thoughts about my writing. In fact I am enjoying doing this final blog. And I want to do well and take pride in my writing by continuing writing.





Then, I will work on the poem by Hamlin Garland. It is "Do You Fear the Wind?" The hardest thing in this final essay is that the conclusion. At first the conclusion was bad meaning, but yesterday I visited your office and asked about this poem and your idea is best, I think. And I felt my thinking about the poem was so easy at the same time. So, I had better thinking more deeply and more sharply. I want to develop my writing more well. It is difficult thing to think poem or story in own way, but it is important to never give up writing something before finishing it and do my best. All I can do are do my best and approach final essay with all experiences during your writing classes.

My favorite author

Hello. How are you doing? I'm very good. Do you have any plans to do in this weekend? We season sports circle have a plan to have match with Rikkyo University and Meiji University. We will play volleyball. I'm looking forward to it. I will do my best. And today Friday , we went to Kamiigusa to play basketball. It was a lot of fun. And I was so happy to communicate with many people who rarely do it. Especially I talked a lot with the senior member. They are so kind. And I felt sports was very important for health. Because every time I did sports, I felt comfortable, and refreshing. And I like sports so much. I recommend you to do sports. By the way, I will tell you about Nicholas Sparks. I like his novels, and he is the first person I felt that reading English literature is very interesting. Have you read his novel ever? He is famous American novelist. His novels are mostly romantic. And it is one of the reasons I like his novels. And some of his novels became movies. For example, Message in a bottle, A Walk to Remember and The Notebook. The Notebook is very famous of the three, I think. And Nicholas Charles Sparks was born in Omaha in America on December 31, 1965. And he was second son of Patrick Michale and Jill Emma Marie Sparks. His father worked as professor, his mother finally worked as a homemaker. He went to Notre Dame University. And he majored in Business Finance at Notre Dame. But because of his injury, he broke the school record in 1985 as a freshman. He spent that summer recovering, writing his first novel "The Passing". But it was never published. And then he graduated from the University in 1988. And he married Catherine in 1989. While he lived in Sacramento, he wrote the second novel "The Royal Murder" in that same year, though it was published either. And he started a manufacturing business, but he resigned it to work in drug company. In 1994, he wrote " The Notebook", which is called as "kiminiyomumonogatari" in Japan. It was published in October, 1996, And is the third novel in recent history to spend over one year as a hardcover best seller. I read it, and watched the movie. I think both of them are very impressive. It is love story, and I wish I would love someone forever as him. I'll recommend it to you. Basically, the novel and the movie aren't so different, but frankly speaking, I prefer to the novel version. Following that novel, Message in a Bottle (1998), A Walk to Remember (1999), and so on were published. All of them were published by Warner Books, and were translated into more than 35 languages. And now he has five children now. The live in North Carolina. He is eager to run, and often lifts weights, and take part in Tae Kwon Do. He often goes to church and reads about 125 books per a year. He also contributes to various kinds of charities, especially to the Creative Writing Program at Notre Dame University. I have read two novels of his. It is "The Notebook" and "Message in a Bottle". Both of them are romantic, and I like prefer to the former. I want to meet a person as him loves me so much and forever some day.And I will read "The Choice", which is the newest book. I want to read his novels more. His novels are easy to read , so it is not difficult for someone who is not good at reading books to read one through. And before reading his novel, I was not interested in novels, but because of his novels, I am willing to read novels. I usually read book ,while I take train to go to school and from to school to my home. By doing so, I can not waste time.

An then I want to read novels of other novelists'. If you want to recommend me to read one's novels, please tell me about him. And let's talk about the good novel each other, and each other can to get one's knowledge about novels widely. Nowadays I learned to enjoy imaging about the scene while I was reading novel. So, I recommend you to read novels. By doing so, you can get something from one. That's all, thank you.

My dream

Hello. How are you doing? How was your day? I am very fine. Today, Saturday, is it sunny and fine day, isn't it? I like days such as sunny day, so the sunny makes me fine. And yesterday my friends stayed at my home, so we talked a lot of things about what we experienced these days. I had a lot of fun with them, we went to karaoke, went shopping and had dinner and so on. Everything was fun for me. I wish they thought the same way .I want to invite them to my house again, and I'm looking forward to it. And tomorrow is Father's Day. I will give present my father. I recommend you to do something for your father and your father will be very pleased with that, and be happy. So, thinking of Father works every day, I think it is natural to celebrate Father's Day. And we family will go out for yakiniku. I am looking forward to it, but I have to be careful to eat too much. By the way, do you have your dream? Of course, I have. I have longed to become an interpreter in the future. When I was elementary school student, I had English conversation class per a week. I remember having fun every time. So, from then I like English very much. And I think when I see interpreters in the TV, I desire to be it in the future and I wish I could be an good interpreter. It was when I went to Canada that I really wanted to become an interpreter and realize my dream. When I was high school student, I went there for a week. I first experienced to go abroad then. I had a lot fun. And the seven days are most enjoyable and fulfilled of all the days so far. Through the home stay, I noticed that I really could not speak English well. So I wanted to speak it more and more better, and I think so still now. And I felt happy when I communicated with foreigners. And everything was fresh to me. It was not until I went there and I was surrounded by many foreigner that I noticed I had got to study and learn and practice English more harder than ever. The home stay was very short stay, but thorough it, I got to see widely and the way of thinking also got to be widely. And I decided to study as possible as I can so as to enter Sophia University, because this university has sister schools in many other countries. And then I wanted to study abroad for about one year. And then I came back to Japan , I made efforts , studied harder and harder. I had second-stage examination. Of course I practiced and studied for it. So, I did my best and I could tell my idea of my dream and what I want to learn in Sophia University and so on. And finally I passed the examination. I never forgot to feel the pleasure then. Another dream of entering here that I had from when I was in junior high school realized in this spring. I thought then that never giving up and making efforts were very important thing. So, if you have your own dream , you had better not give up. You have got to do your best. By doing so, you will get something important. And it will change your way of thinking and looking, I think.




Then the reason why I desire to become one is that if I were one, I could meet with many many foreigner and had the friends are from different countries. And when I interpret as standing two people who can't communicate with each other without me, I could have them communicated with each other. Do you think it is great, don't you?




I think it is great. Now I can't speak English very well, but at least I can learn and take classes in this university, I gradually get used to use English and be positive to speak English. And I have longed to study abroad , so I make efforts more harder to do that. And some day I would speak English very well. And then I will do my best to become great interpreter.

About last Friday to Monday.

Hello. How are you? I am very sleepy nowadays.



How about your weekend? Did you study, or going some where, or play some sport? My weekend was very fun for me. Last Friday , after school



I went to Shinjuku with my friends to buy some donuts. Do you know Krespy Kreme Donuts ? It is very famous , but I think it needs more shops in other region. I ate two donuts , they were so delicious. And there was one thing that surprised me. While we were wating for it in the line, the clerk gave us which waited for buying one a frshe-baked donut. I was very happy, and never forget the feeling I felt when I ate it for the first time. And I bought some for my family, so they were made to happy bay me.



And them, we took "purikura" for the first time together. I was a little nervous, because I am not very good at purikura. But I had wanted to do so, I was happy. And I stuck one of them on my cell phone. Then we had purpose of going there, it was for buying happy birth day present for our senior of our circle. We bought very pretty card, and we wrote message for him. And then we had dinner at Shinjuku. We had good time.



After that, I went home, and my relatives came to my house from the day to this Saturday. They left Nagoya to Yokohama. They are a family of three, what is called ,a nuclear family. Their daughter, Sakiho, is my cousin. She is ten years old now. Then the next day, this Sunday, we had had plan to go on an outing, but it was raining, so we decided to go several nearby department stores. She loves shopping, so she seemed to be much happier than us. I was glad to see her having fun. And I gave her bracelet as same as mine, and stationeries which I don't use. She was very glad for the presents. Then we went to sushi bar to have dinner. I ate too much. I felt happy for having food with my relatives and family. I often think that I really so happy, spending nice days. Then this Sunday we went shopping ,too. My cousin bought some aromatic. I was surprised at her being not childlike. But I like her. She is talkative person, and talks like a grown-up and very honest. When I was ten, I wasn't like her. I was really childlike, so I often went to the park to play. There are differences between her and me, but they are very interesting things, I think. Then we went to picnic nearby the park. For me, the lunch time was best fun in other times I shared with them. While they stayed at my house, I felt as if she was my sister. Really I do not have a sister, but I want to have one.


I am looking forward to seeing them. Maybe in this summer vacation, I will go to Nagoya to meet them.


On the other hand, this Monday I put up with two of my friends at a hotel. One of them lives alone. So we stayed at her house. After school, we chattered in the university, and went to restaurant to have dinner. We talked to each other about a lot of things. I had been laughed with them. I ate too much again. I must be careful to eat too much. Othewise I gradually get a weight. Then we left Yotsuya. No sooner did we arrive at her house than we changed clothes. And we had snack, chattering. We love chattering. And I can tell them anything about me, so I am very relaxed while I am with them. They are good friends. Then we had been talking for about five hours, and we fell asleep about at 3 a.m. I had great time there. And we have paln to stay at my house two weeks later. So I can't wait for the day. Any way this weekend and Monday I had better time than usual. I was really happy. And I think that I spend very happy campus life every day.

Important persons

Hello. How are you? I'm fine, but a little bit tired and sleepy.





So this Monday, and Tuesday I went out to eat dinner with my circle season sports circle, and I went home about at 11 p.m. That's why I tired and sleepy. But both of them were very fun. Next week we will play volleyball. So I am looking forward to it.





By the way, I have a lot of friends. They are very very important for me.





I can not imagine without them. Thanks to them, I can spend happily ever day. And I have good friends also. I want them to keep in touch with me for the future. They are most important persons for me. And I think friends are treasures. I always think so. When I feel uncomfortable, unhappy or pain, they always listen to me seriously and give some advices about that. I really thank to them. If there were not for them, I could not get over. Then they make me natural. So I am very relaxed, being with them. When I felt the pain of parting from someone, one of my friends came to see me even at night. I was very happy for that, and she made me calm. So I want to comfort her ,if she feels unhappiness or pain or something like that. It is very important to be good listener, when someone seems to be depressed. Then I often go out with my friends. Tomorrow I go to Shinjuku to go shopping with my friends. I am looking forward to it. The shopping with my friends makes me get away from the stress of life. We will buy the presents for our friends. I wonder we should buy for him. On my way to Shinjuku, we are going to buy another presents for our fathers. So Father's Day coming soon. The tie is just for my father, so I may buy one tomorrow. I wish he would be happy for the present. Then on Mother's day, I gave the wall hanging to her. She was very surprised at the present, but very very happy, so I was also happy to hear that. It is very beautiful hanging. I feel so happy,seeing someone smiling. So I like to give some presents. And I will continue to do that. It is very important to thank to your parents. And my family is also very important for me. I love them.




They are full of kindness. And they gets angry in the right situation. So I learned a lot of things so far. Without them, I could not have been brought up like this. I really thank to them. If I marry and have a baby, I will love them. I wonder what kind of person who I marry.



Then ,before I entered this university, I had been very worried about making friends. I had thought perhaps I could not make friends.



But now I have a lot of new friends. I made good friends sooner than I had expected. I talk to them about severe things, usual things, and trifling things. They are very cheerful, so I get to be fine soon even when I am depressed. Next Monday I will stay at my friend's house. She lives alone.


She is one of my good friends. I love her. She is very interesting, kind and especially cheerful. I want to talk a lot and listen to her events. I can not help waiting the day. About two weeks later, my friends are going to come to my home, and stay there. It will be first time to invite them ,who are friends in Sophia University ,to my house. We are in same circle, so we are so closely. We often talks with after school. But I want to talk with many people, and want them to know about me.





Finally, All I want tell you is to thank for your parents and your friends.


And think how much they make me comfortable. I don't forget to thank to them, and I want to be better listener and adviser. And if you are given some advice by someone, you should be good listener ,when he is depressed.

I love children.

Hello. How are you doing? I am little tired, because I was doing the assignment of English grammar's class late at night. But I finished it so I am happy as if one gets to be free to do something. By the way, I will talk about children. I love children, especially at the age of three to six. They are so cheerful, innocent, and lovely. When I see smiling child, it makes me so happy, and never makes me so happier than smiling children.I have a dream to become an interpreter, but I have admired a kindergarten teacher. When I was sad, their similes made me cheer up. So I love them. In this spring vacation, I was invited to do volunteer at the preschool, so I went to the preschool with my friends to do that. It was very fun, and very tired, and precious day for me. It was my special experience in my life. One of my friends who invited me has a dream to become a kindergarten teacher. She has gone to the preschool several times, and she had talked to me about that, so I had told her that I wanted to go preschool to do volunteer, then we decided to do that. At the preschool, there were more children than I had expected. No sooner I saw them than I got to be happy, seeing their smiling and running about. At first they were not so friendly, but soon they came to us and invited to play with. I was very glad to hear that. Then we gradually got to be closed to them. I was running about and there, playing the ballgame, and chattering with them and so on. I was surprised at their cheerfulness. In my youth, I also was such cheerful, I thought. The kindergarten teacher taught me the important point of communicating with children. He said to me,"It is important for you to try to understand their feelings when they do something. And it is sign that they do not have idea what to do when they ask you to hug and press their self against you. So when they do that, you had better notice it, and should think what to do next." I was thought the important thing through the volunteer. I had thought the communication with children was only happy and cheerful , but I learned the important and good points, thanks to the kindergarten teacher. To tell the truth, during the day I was very happy and enjoying with them, but I also very tired. I think it was because of their vigor. I noticed that when I saw children smiling, crying, pressing their self against me, understanding how feelings they had was so difficult for me. I really respect the people who works for kindergarten teachers. I have to review my attachment to children. Then one of them gave me some works that he made them in the art class. I was very surprised at the presents and at the same time the happiness occurred to my heart. I was really so happy.The presents are still on the wall. I want to have my children in the future, and I can't help thinking about my children in the future, and they may make me happy. In many ways, the experiences at the preschool. I'm looking forward to going there. By the way, thinking of why I like children, there is another reason for it. My mother also likes children so much, so I suspect I like them too. And she often says,"The child over there is so pretty.". And she sometimes talks to children. Then she worked as a teacher for a part time job before. It seemed that so happy when she was surrounded by children, but students' parents often complained about her way of teaching, or something like that. So she got to be very very tired. So she resigned it. I think she was right, so it is not good to continuing the job ever,when one usually feels uncomfortable and stresses. Anyway I learned important things in my life, and I want to be able to communicating with children very well.

About Disney☆

Hello. How are you doing? I am good, and It's Saturday today. The weather is so good, isn't it? I'm very happy in such a wonderful day. So I am very happy now, even while I'm writing now. I took a walk today. I was attracted by the nature nearby my house. By the way, I will tell you about Disney. Do you like Disney? I love Disney. I have seen a lot of Disney movies so far. Especially I like "Beauty & Beast". It is wonderful movie, I think. The songs in the movie are very good harmony. They make me happy every time I hear. And the princess Bell is so cute. I sometime wish I could be. She is modest , beauty and kind to people. I have seen the movie many times. But I never tired of it. So I want to see it again. Perhaps I will be able to notice another good points of the movie. Then I like Tokyo Disney Land and Tokyo Disney Sea very much. I have been to Tokyo Disney Land about ten times, and Tokyo Disney Sea two times. Have you ever been there? If you do not go there, I will recommend you going there. I like the former better than the latter. It is because the rides in Tokyo Disney Land are easier for me to enjoy. In reality, I am not good at riders. But I can do that, when I go there. And also I like "Electrical Parade very much. Do you know it? I always be impressed by the parade when I see it. I like it the best of all the parades. I often go there with my friends. And I spend the day there. I often ate too much, and spend the money when I go there. But while I am there, I am so happy and be able to forget about the assignments and something that makes me unhappy. So that is why I like Disney Resort. And I have take most of the rides in Tokyo Disney land ever. "Big thunder mountain" is very fun. The view I can see is very beautiful. I think people who took it even one time agree to me. It is really wonderful , especially in the evening. I want you to take it when you go there. You will feel satisfied with the view, I think. Also I recommend you "Electrical Parade". It also makes you satisfied. I went there one year ago, so I'm looking forward to going there again.


It was about six years that I went Tokyo Disney Sea for the first time. I went there with my family, and we spent most of the day there. We had a great time there. And we could make precious memory then. And I will never forget it. And I bought a lot of souveniors then. I regret spending much money then. I often spend too much money when I go there. And yesterday I went there with my friends. It was second time that I went to Tokyo Disney Sea. We went there by train, and arrived there at 5:40 p.m. Then we had to keep waiting by 6:oo p.m., because we bought admission tickets that is available from at 6:oo p.m. to 10:00 p.m. Then we took riders. We were so lucky ,because Tokyo Disney Sea was not crowded yesterday. Perhaps today may be crowded, so it's holiday today.


I think going there during the week is better than during the holidays. We had very very good time there. I felt so happy of spending the time with them. We took "Rasing spirit", "Center of the earth", "Indie Jones" and so on. I first took a "Rasing spirit". I was very nervous, and I was afraid of it.

But it was fun. I wonder I get used to riders. Then we saw the entertainment "Bigband Beat". It was like jazz live. It was first time for seeing it. And I had not known it before yesterday. I was very impressed by it, and I wanna see it again. I'll recommend you. Then we had light meal. I think there are delicious foods in Tokyo Disney Resort. I like various kinds of popcorns there. And we had some pictures. Seeing them, I remember having a lot of fun. It was rare that I did not buy any souveior yesterday. We had't time to buy them. Anyway yesterday was very precious to me, and I wish they would think so. I want to go there with them again.

This GW

Hello. How are you?







How was your holidays between May 3 to 5? I enjoyed very much. We season sports circle had a training camp for three days. So we went to Choshi in Chiba to play sports. I could not help feeling happy during the camp.











On the first day, I got up at 5:30 a.m. I was very sleepy, and I could not sleep well, so I was very excited about going there. We went there by train. It took about four hours to go there. It was too long, but I was talking a lot with my friends and new friends. It made me joyful. I took some pictures then. After arriving the home, we changed our clothes and took a bus to go the ground to play softball. But the ground condition was very bad, and it was cold and cloudy. So some of us went back to the bus, and we talked about our love for several hours. I had great time with them. Because of that, we got to be more closely. I love to talk about the subject with my friends. Then we went back to the home, and had a break. I took a short nap with my friends. Some people took a bath.And then we prepared for dinner. But it was just thing we put the meal on the desk. The dinner was very delicious, and enough to be full. After that, my friends and I took a bath together. I was very relaxed. Taking a bath always makes me refreshed. I love to do that. And all of us gathered in the saloon, and we divided into some groups to communicate to each other. It was most interesting to me in that camp. I made new friends. I felt communicating with many people was good for me, so that I could learn various ways of thinking. The time was very precious to me. Then on the day, I slept only for two hours. That is because I was talking with my friends.








On the second day, after we had breakfast, we went to the same place to play softball. The weather was not good, but we continued to it. I had not played it before then. So it was difficult for me to play it, but I was a lot of fun. My group won and lost. Everyone enjoyed it. I thought what a friendly our circle is. So some of men taught how to play it to me kindly.






And we had lunch there, chattering with my friends. Then we parted for two groups. Men and women. We played soccer. I missed the chances of goal several times. I regret not getting a goal for my team. But everyone said to me, "Don't mind! Next time!". I felt their warmth. I'd appreciate it. After the soccer game, we hold the small sports festival. We had the relay race, a bun-snatching race, and so on. To my surprise, my team won, and got the first prize. It made me feel happiness. My team was full of happiness. My team was given custard puddings, and jellies. It was very delicious. After the festival, we went back to the home, and had dinner. And from 8:00 p.m., we did some games. It was regrettable that the winner was not my team. However, I had very good time. On the day, I did not sleep. It was for the first time in my life. Even on the day, I was talking with my friends. I couldn't help feeling pleasant, while the camp.







On the third day, I was very sleepy all the day. We played soccer again, but I was sleeping in the bus, while they were playing. Beyond me, some didn't play it, so the people who played it on the day was a few. Then after we went back to the house, we had lunch there. All of us took pictures together. It is my treasure. Then we took a bus, and went to the station. We missed the train for Tokyo, so We had kept waiting about for an hour.Then we took another train for Tokyo. I fell asleep by we arrived at Tokyo station. We arrived there at 7:00 p.m. So I had dinner with my friends. Then I came home. I was tired, but I was very very happy for three days. Everyone was really good persons, so I love them. I love our circle. I feel so lucky to meet them. I'm looking forward to another camps in this summer, and in this winter.

I like spots!

Hi! How do you do?
Do you have some plans during this successive holiday?
I will go to Choshi in Chiba to play some sports. It sounds great , doesn't it?
I belong to season sports circle in this Sophia University.
We will go to Chiba, stay there for two days, and play softball and soccer and so on. I have to get up so early: at 5:30 a.m. I am worry about getting up, but if I take the late train, I can't go there with others, so I must do it.


I am looking forward to it.
And I want to make a lot of friends through season sports circle, and know various way of thinking. In order to it, I have to talk to many people, but I like talking with my friends, so it is ok.

Last Friday, I joined the circle activity for the first time.

We went to Koiwa to play soccer. I was worried about playing it well,

but the senior members were very kind to teach me how to play it,

so I played it relaxed. For an hour, I was being teached by them, and I joined the game. I was very nervous , but owing to their teaching, I got a goal, and played it better than ever.




I was so happy for that. And I learned the importance of teaching something to people kindly, because if they were strict to me, I could not play well. If I have a chance to teach, I will do the same as they did.




I had a good time with them.




After playing it, we had a Chinese noodle in Koiwa. I had great time, too.




We talked a lot, then we were more closely.









In this June, we will have games against other universities, for example,




against Rikkyo University.




We will play basketball, and volleyball. I wish I could got some points, and we could won.

I am looking forward to it, too.



By the way, I played basketball in elementary school: I belonged to the basketball club. I enjoyed it very much, and I practiced it very much.

Even now I like playing it very much. But I want to play it better than now. And I like skiing, running and especially dancing.


I belonged to the dance team in high school, and I learned many things through the experiences. For example, I learned the importance of acting voluntarily in looking over the situation around me and noticing things to be helpful for other people. At first, I could not do that exactly, but gradually I could see more widely. Owing to the experiences, I could become actively in many ways. How wonderful one can learn good things through sports. I want to learn more things through various sports.

Speaking of skiing, I would go skiing in many places. For example, my family went to Nagano, Fukuoka and Gunnma to do it. We had great time there every time , but we were so tired. I always fell asleep while my father was driving to my house. Recently we do not go skiing, so I want to do it in this year. But I am anxiety about my brother's schedule, he belongs to the basketball team in his high school. He is busy practicing it everyday. Anyway I like sports. If some one does not like, you had better start something in this successive holidays. Never giving up is important, so that you can have good time, and good experience.

If you like sports or not, I recommend both of you to exercise regularly.That's because exercising regularly makes you healthy. My parents exercise two or three times per a week. I think it sounds very good, so I want them to continue it even from now on. My grand father too exercises. So he is very fine. He is always cheerful. He lives in Osaka with my grandmother. There is something wrong with her right leg, so I am worried about her. They always welcome us every time my family and I go there. And we often go out to have dinner. It makes me so happy. I can't forget thing about them.I still remember this. When I told them that I had passed the entrance examination of Sophia University, they were crying. "We really glad to hear that," they said. And they were crying. I was impressed their hearts. I want to meet them as soon as possible. And I want to say to my grandmother: "Are you ok? Exercising is very important, so you had better do as following your condition. Finally, there is someone who doesn't decide to join the circle in this Sophia University, let's exercise with us, join us!

Thank you.

My good experience in Canada.

Hello. How are you? I'm a little tired.

I will tell you about my experience in Canada.
I have gone to Canada one time. It was when I was sixteen years old.
The stay was very short time, but I had great time there.



I stayed at my English conversation teacher's house there.







I had an English conversation lesson per a month at that time.





Then I said to him, "I want to go abroad," then he said, "Why don't you come to my home in Canada? Then I said, "Of course I will."



That was because I went there.



I had longed to go abroad, so I was looking forward to going there.



I still remember feeling the excitement,arriving at Canada. I couldn't



help feeling happiness. Then when I arrived at the airport, the teacher and his parents came to pick me up and we went to Sault Ste Marie, where their house was. It was countryside, but very beautiful place to go.




I had something to carry out during the stay in Canada.



That was just I decided to ask some phrases, but I had to be active speaker.



I had good and painful experiences, but both experiences are good memories still now.



I realized how I couldn't speak English through the stay.



I also couldn't catch their conversations and questions about me



so that they spoke faster. So I often asked to them over and over again.



And I gradually wondered asking to them made them irritated.



It also made me irritated, so I could catch little. I had a lot of stresses



about me in many ways. Then on the third day staying there, I happened



to cry, but I didn't why I was crying. When I was crying, my host family



was very kind to me. They hugged me kindly, and said to me, "Are





you missing your mother?," and I said,"No, I'm not. Just I wondering





asking to you over and over again makes you irritated."





Then they said,"Asami, it is better for us than nodding without understanding. It is OK." I was very comfortable to hear that.



I felt the warmth of their hearts. After that I asked to them at ease.







I met many foreign people. And I made friends there. I'm looking to



forward to meeting again.



My friends and I went shopping, chatting and talking about our cultures to each other. I had great time with them.



And I spent most of the time with the teacher and his cousins and his parents. For example, we went to the plane museum in Sault Ste Marie.



There are the planes we could enter in. And there I could carry out the plan to be active. I said to the stranger looked gently, "Excuse me, would



you mind taking our picture?", "Of course not," he said. I was very glad.



And I thought I got it! I done! It was very small thing to you, but I would



get nervous ,talking to foreign people. So it was a big step for me to be



active.







We went shopping, sightseeing,fishing, canoed, swam,went to the zoo, had a barbecue,and hold the party. I bought a lot of things for my family, my relative and my friends. I spent a lot of money then.



And we swam and canoed in the lake for two or three hours. It made us connected stronger. After that his father taught me how to fishing.



So I got one, but I broke his fishing pole. I am still really sorry about that.



After that we had a barbecue near the lake. Everything was very very good experience for me. I will never forget them.





What I enjoyed most was the party. I hadn't had a party before then,


so it was very enjoyable. A lot of people came to the house, and had


very delicious foods and played cultural games and communicated


many people to each other. The time passed very quickly, so I didn't go back to Japan and I wished I could have stayed longer.


I love them. I love the place.





Finally I learned the importance of getting to know different cultures and


thought I wanted to realize my dream as an interpreter through the


various experiences there.

self - introduction

Hello. Nice to meet you. How are you? I'm good.
I'll tell you about myself. To begin with , my name is Asami Masumoto.

My friends call me Asami or massu or army. My family calls me achann. And I was born in Toyama and soon we moved to Osaka and we have lived in Yokohama for twelve years. I think that Yokohama is a beautiful place to go out , go sightseeing and go shopping. I often go to Yokohama to go shopping. I like my hometown very much.And my mother is from Toyama,and there are many delicious foods , for example, hotaruika and masunosushi are very popular foods in Toyama.I like them very much. On the other hand,my father is from Osaka.There are also delicious foods .Anyway I love to eat.
By the way,it takes about one thirty minutes to come to this university from my house every day. To be frank with you,I don't like a full train. But I'm very happy to have classes in this university,because one of my dreams was entering this university . So when I passed the entrance exam,I did not believe it.And I felt happiest in my life. My family was surprised by the news,too. I really enjoy the school life every day. And I decided to belong the season sports circle in this school.

Then I like dancing so much . And I belonged to the dance team in high school. Also I devoted myself to the club activities and I made good friends through the club activities. When I danced for the first time, I was so worried about being able to dance well,but gradually I improved my dancing . In this spring, we dance club hold the event and danced in front of the students. It was very fun.I want to hold an event again. Then in this summer we dance team may enter the dancing festival that is called '' hamakoi''. I think it is like '' yosakoi-sorann'' that is known as a traditional dance in Japan. It is different from hip-hop or jazz or girls hip-hop. But I like them too.
Also I like listening to music, for example, one of my favorite singers is backstreet boys. That is because their harmony makes me relaxed and comfortable. While I take a train to come to this university, I often listen to their songs.And I went to their concerts.It was great. I' m looking forward to going their concert again.
Also I like singing sings. So I often go karaoke with my friends. Every time I go to karaoke , I have a great time there.
And I have a brother who is two years younger than me. He plays basketball very well . And I often played it in elementary school, and I belonged to the basketball team in those days. Even now I like to play it so much.
Then in junior high school, I belonged to a track and field club.

I liked to run ,but my legs was injury when I was second grade.

So I went to see the doctor ,and he said to me,

"You could not run any more. In a way you were lucky , because if you had come to see me a little more later ,you should have a operation."

I was so sad to hear that I couldn't run any more,but I decided not to leave the club.So I liked track and field .And I decided to

become a team secretary. It was the good experience for me.



Then I have a dream to become an interpreter. So if I were an interpreter,

I could make people communicate to each other and I could meet with

many foreign people . And I went to Canada three years ago ,

and it was the best experience in my life. I felt very fun when I communicate with foreign people. Through the experience, my range of

thinking became more widely. So I really want to study abroad　and
speak English very well.

Finally, I want to learn English more and more ,especially improve my English speaking ,accumulating vocabulary and make a lot of friends.

Thank you for seeing my introduction.
