Blog #8: End of Writing 1!


1.         Now I have already finished last Friday English class. In that class, I learned useful writing techniques. For example, I learned how to use adverbs and prepositional phrases. After I learned those things, I felt like English writing is easier and smoother.

Especially, I think “ten minutes writing” make my writing skill better. At first, my “ten minutes writing” result is very bad. The number of word was not over 100words, but in second “ten minutes writing”, I could write over 100words. Moreover in third, fourth... I became to be able to write more and more words. I became well little by little about writing.

I think learning paragraph writing improved my English skill, because in “reading English” class, teacher taught us how important paragraph writing is. He talked about paragraph writing so many times that I understood it is very important. In this “writing English” class, I learned how to write paragraph concretely, but now I can’t write it well. I want to be able to write paragraph well.

 

2.           I have a thing which I want to improve. First, I want to remember English grammar. No, I must remember it! Recently I thought so. I do part time job at a cram school. When I taught English to a cram school student, I noticed that I forgot English grammar.  I noticed that I forgot a lot of vocabulary too. It is problem, so I have to remember these things.

Blog #7: Spring Vacation


I have several plants to do in spring vacation. First, it is snowboard. I like snowboard, so I am looking for its trip. I will go its trip with my friends of university. The place where we will go is “Myoko Kogen”. When we decided where we will go, I researched ski resort in the Internet, and found “Myoko Kogen”. According to the Internet, it is one of the longest course in Japan, and there are place to jump by snowboard or ski. It is called “park”. I have never gone to ski resort which has “park”, so I am looking for going to “Myoko Kogen”. Second is snowboarding! Now I am planning to go snowboarding with my friend of high school. Now one friend is working in ski resort. We are going to go there, and snowboard with the friend. Third, I want to find new part time job. Now I work in a cram school every Monday and Thursday, but I can work only these days and two or three hours. I can get little money in a month. But I want to get more money, so I want to find new part time job!
              Spring vacation is so long that I can do a lot of things, and I want to enjoy spring vacation.

Blog # 6: FREE TOPIC!


This time we are going to write about free topic which I want to introduce. At first, I had no idea. But, when I thought about it watching TV, an idea suddenly struck me. I thought that I will write about TV CM. There are many kinds of CM in Japan. Comedy CM, serious CM, rhythmical CM, and so on. All of these CM are well contrived, so it gives us big impact, and capture our mind. Especially, I like comedy CM. There are two favorite CM.
First is “DAIWA HOUSE”. I think this is one of the most humorous CM in Japan. In this CM, a famous actor, Yakusyo koji, performs funny man.

Second is “ROTO7”. ROTO7 is a public lottery. In this CM, Yanagiba toshiro and Tsumabuki satoshi performs a salaried worker.

These CM is so interesting that I can not help remember the name of its CM. I respect its great work.

Blog # 5: If I could have dinner with one person...


If I could have dinner with anyone, I would choose a man named Shinzo Abe. Everyone know him, because he is a current Japanese prime minister. He is the most famous person in Japan. I think he has strong mental. I want to talk with him about his mental. When I see him, I’d like to ask him a lot of question.

 
 For example “Why did you decide to become prime minister?” I think prime minister is very hard, important position. In tense situation, prime minister must make decision, so he decides the fate of Japan. On the other hand, his words have large influence. If he said irresponsible things carelessly, he would be attacked by mass media. I think it is very sad. Once he was a prime minister, his health condition became so bad, and  he retired. However he returned. He became prime minister again. I think it is amazing thing. I want to know why decide to return. In addition, I want to know his character, ask Japanese conditions directly.

 If I can ask and know these things, it meeting would be beneficial.

Blog # 4: My Winter Vacation

Happy new year! My winter vacation was very exciting and very hard. There are two reason.

 First, it is snowbording. I went snowbording with my friends from December 26 to30. When I was a high school student, I was snowbording for the first time. It was good experience, and since then I liked snowbording. Snowbord is hard and dangerous winter sport. In this trip, I was falling and rolling many times, so all of my body was painful. But this thrill is good and exciting! In this time we went Hakuba, but the weather  was not good. 27,28 was snowy, so I couldn't see around well. But, luckily 29 was sunny, and clear. We could see great view!
 

 
 Second, it is Hatsumode. January 2, I went Kyoto to Hatsumode with my friend. We visited Kinkakuji, Kitanotenmangu and Hushimiinaritaisha. Kinkakuji was a beautiful and luxurious temple.  It is gold. There are a lot of people in Kitanotenmangu. Kitanotenmangu is a famous Hatsumode spot. But I think Hushimiinari is the best place in these place, because it has very large land. Its shrine is at the top of a mountain, so I had to climb mountain. It is so big mountain that I got tired. In addition it has special thing. It is Senbontorii. Senbontorii is mysterious, so I was impressed.




These things are surely hard, but I think it is good experience for me. I want to go snowbording and Hatsumode next year.
