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.
