12/15

Today I joined club meeting after noon. We did janken over getting prepaid library card, but I lost soon. Then I went back home, I did my home work. I was tired. I cooked for the dinner at evening, and it was so delicious. I enjoyed watching TV, reading a book and so on. I had very good night. I went to bed at the midnight. I couldn't sleep soon.

12/15

Today we held club activity. I played out, and went to Toroku park. We played games which we did in elementary school days. We played tag at first, and played jintori. It was very interesting. I really enjoyed it. After we played about two hours, we went to Joyful for dinner. We stayed there more two hours, too. After that I went back home because I had to do my homework. I want to stay there.

12/14

I went to school, and I got sleep after I went back my home. Then Hiromi called me, and I went Hiromi's house. I and her apartment is same apartment. I live on five floor, and Hiromi lives on four floor. There was I-kun at Hiromi's house. They already enjoyed drinking beer. They seemed fun, and I joined it. I had a good time there.

12/13

Today was Ayako's birthday. She and I have known each other scince we were high school students. She was nery kind girl, and I like her. She is tall, and I have never seen like her.
By the way, I went to school and took classes. After school, We ESS went to youth hostel. Today is our election party. We wear a suit, and mainly greeting to other club's member. I was so tired because I had to drink much of beer. I don't like beer. I also performed ippatsu-gei on the stage, but I don't remenber what I performed. I will never do it.

car

I don’t have my car, but I have a driver’s license. I got it last year. I had gone to Kikuchi driving school for two month. As I don’t have my car, I usually use my mother’s car when I need a car. My driving skill is so poor because I seldom drive it. I can’t drive alone because it is scare. My mother also says so because of my poor driving skill. I want to be a good driver. I want my own car, too. If I get my own car, I will go wherever I can go. I want to go Aso to see bright illumination at Aso Farm Land. I prefer big car to small car.

My favorite food

I’d like to tell you about my favorite foods. I like eating very much, but I can’t choose my best food. Especially I like yakiniku because I like meat, and most restaurant of yakiniku can eat as much as we like. I usually eat too much. Other food, I like nabe in winter. I enjoy it with my friend when I hold nabe party at my house. It is so delicious and it makes us warm. I put many ingredients into the nabe. I hold this party about once a week. After nabe, I put some noodles or rice into it. I’m looking forward it every time because I like noodles. We are satisfied so much when I eat it.

Elementary school memory

My memory of elementary school is playing with my classmate everyday. I often played at the ground or gym. I really enjoy it every recess. We played many kinds of tag, hide- and-seek, unicycle, and so on. I also played at a park near my house after I went back school. Sometimes my mother called me angrily because I played there too late. My mother often told me to come back home before it gets dark, but I could not stop it because it was too fun. I also liked to ride a bicycle. I could not ride it until I was 8 years old. I often rode and ran around the park. I want to play the park again with friends.

Motto

My motto is "The line between freedom and responsibility is as thin as knife's edge." I often feel like this since I became a collage student. Collage life is freedom, but seen another angle, we must take our own responsibility for our life. Now I live alone near school, and I have to do everything on my own. I am also not good at getting up in the morning. I want to sleep late, but it is no responsibility. Last year I didn't go to school so much. I must have responsibilities to my actions because I am not a child. I want to do surely what I should do. I will do my best everyday. Now I have to do my homework.

flower

I like flower because it is beautiful and cute. When we presented something to other person, we often give him or her bouquet. If I take like a pretty bouquet, I will be glad heartily because it makes me happy. I seldom buy flowers on my own, but it is wilt if I take care of it carefully. My favorite flower is cherry blossom because it is one of Japanese flower. I prefer colorful flower like a rose to simple flower. If I had an own house, I would grow many kind of flowers in the garden. The impression of gardening is difficult. I have to water flowers everyday, it seems hard. Though it also seems fun. I’ll enjoy it.

High school memory

I have three main high school memories. First, I belonged to track and field club as a manager. This activity was very hard, but I enjoyed it with my club member. Second memory was spending almost time with my friends. My friends are too interesting and exciting! I love them. Recently I don’t play with them, but I want to do it. Finally, it was sports festival when I was a second grader. This is the best high school memory for me. I joined cheer leading club, but the practice was very hard in summer vacation. We practiced everyday. At the sports festival, our group could win the first prize. I was glad and I’m proud of it now.

12/10

In the morning class I skipped two classes and took only Listening class. Today school ended until one thirty, and I went to e-campus center with my friends to did my homework. I stayed there about three hours and I was so tired because of using computer too much. As I finished it, I went to supermarket near my house before I went back home. Today's dinner was nabe. It tasted of kimchi, and was very delicious. I ate too much! After the dinner I did my homework again.

12/9

Today I took Reading IV and Japanese history class. I was so sleepy and hungry. After school I did my homework hard. I went back school, I cooked something for a dinner. I enjoyed it verymuch and it was fun for me to cook something. I will make again on my own.

Movie review 5 Lilo and Stitch

I have known Lilo and Stitch as characters, but I had never seen this movie or animation which is broadcast every week on TV. I thought that Stitch is an animal, but through this movie, I knew he was a monster through this movie. In addition, I also knew that he is an experimental product. At first, I thought Stitch is so fierce because he attacked everybody. His body is too strong and his fighting skill is better that any other enemy. It was strange that he didn’t die despite being hit by dump truck. His face is very cute, but I have heard someone that model for his face is a cockroach. I was so surprised by that.
Next, I’m going to talk about Lilo and her family. Her first impression of Lilo was selfishness because she often gave trouble to her elder sister by having her own way. I don’t like her so much at first, but she treasures her family. I also thought she is nice girl because she welcomed Stitch as a part of family willingly. If I were Lilo, I would behave myself like her sister Nani. There were many characters in this movie, but the most impressive character is a man who works as a social worker because of his very rugged features! But he is very kind.
My favorite character is Lilo because she is a humane parson in spite of being only five years old. She loves her family heartily. Nani also loves Lilo and her family though she really hates Stitch at first. If my sister chose Stitch when I would have a dog as a pet like a Lilo, I will object to having it, too. Eventually I’m glad Stitch could be a part of Lilos family. I want to seen the sequel to this movie someday and I’ll enjoy it.

12/8

Today was no class. Instead, club activity was held at evening. At first, we gatherd student hall, but today's gathered club member was less ten people because other members who lived in dormitory had to meeting of dormitory. We played at the shool, and went for dinner to Joyful near our school. We stayed there about 2 hours. We scribbled on a piece of paper, and chatting. I had there good time. Next we moved Toroku park and played tag, high-and-seek, kan-keri and so on. I sweated a little. As I had to do my homework, I went back home earlier. I want to join it again.

12/7

Last night, Takumi and Taromaru came back my home from second party of Kado club's election party. They bacame drunken persons. They went to bed soon, and I could not so. Later, Takumi suddenly got up, and stand up over me. Then he began pee on my bed! I immediately said "No! Bathroom is over there!", but he seemed to understand what I said. I took him the bathroom, but after he got out, the toilet seat cavor was wet. So he was wet! I was shocked all day long. I clean there at the midnight. I couldn't sleep yesterday.
Today I got up late and went to school. At evening I went to Keita's house. Keita and Kana and I held gyo-za party. We really enjoyed it. We made large amount of gyo-za, about eighty. Though we made too much, we ate it all. After that, we saw Sex And The City 2, and it was interesting.

12/6

Today I skipped classes because I got up too late. I took only Speaking class. After that I went back home and I prepared for election party of kado club. The party was held a hall in Suizenji for two hours from 7 o'clock and 9 o'clock. We mainly enjoy chatting, dinner and drinking. I don't like beer, but I must drink it. I also don't like atsukan. It makes me nervus. After introduction of former officers, ippatsu-gei performed by new officers started. It was interesting. My friends Mika is a leader of Kado club. I like her so much because she is very nice girl.

BR06; Making a deal

There are many kind of making a deal all over the world. I don't know about it, and I can really learn more. I didn't know that there are no prices listed in the souk because it is usual to have it in Japan. Though I prefer bargaining to Japanese style, I thought bargaining seems to be interesting. If I visit the souk, I will do it and go on until I and vendor mae a deal and agree on an amount.

Club/circle

I belong to ESS. We hold a recitation contest and speech contest each once a year. We have exchange students of our school judge. Also we held other club activity every Wednesdays. We basically play out; go bowl, karaoke, driving, go for dinner and so on. Every week, more about 15 club members gather it. We always enjoy it so much. We travel twice every year. Last spring vacation we went to Osaka, and we went to Okinawa in summer vacation. At Takuma festival, we won the first prize of foods section. We were really happy. I want to win again next year. Next our club activity is speech contest. I’m looking forward it and I’ll do my best.

class

I’m sophomore and I go to school to study English now, but I learn not only English. I also learn cultures and history of other countries, how to communicate to foreign people, Japanese and international situation and so on. All of classes mainly have to do with English. I usually take classes with my friends. They always helped me when I can’t understand. My favorite class Reading class because it is easy for me to understand how to read a news article. At first I feel it is very difficult, but now I don’t feel than before. On the other hand, I don’t like Spanish class. It is too difficult for me. I learned it since last year. I want to learn it more.

BR05; The magic school bus inside a beehive

''Be a bee, everyone!" (page 12)

It was easy for me to understand the plot. Students who be a bee was so cute. I also want to board beehive bus. Students worked hard as bees, and they seemed to enjoy working. By the way, I had learned about waggle dance of bee. In Japan, we called it "hachinoji dance".
