essay 2-03b: My story of learning languages
I’m going to write about my learning languages story. I’m going to write about English and French. I have learned English about for 10 years. Last year, I attended French classes.
When I was an elementary school student, I heard English the first time. I played game on the English music about once a week or once a month. It is called ALT. When I was a junior high school student and high school student, I learned English at the class. It was not games such as elementary school. Now, I also learn English at KGU. In the future, I would like to talk with foreigner smoothly and I want to watch films in English without subtitles.
First, however, I’d like to tell about my future. I have had dreams for a long time. If I marry, I would like to go abroad for honeymoon with my husband. At there, I want to talk with foreigner in languages other them smoothly and want to understand them. One of my dreams is to watch foreign films without subtitle. I like films from other countries very much, so I want to hear themselves voice. I think, almost everyone thought “foreign films have subtitles, so you can hear themselves voice!” It is exactly, but when I read subtitles, I can’t watch pictures. Don’t you think so? That why I want to watch films from other countries without subtitles.
Next, I’m going to write about when I how I first studied English. When I was an elementary school student, I heard English the first time. I played game on the English music about once a week or once a month. It is called “ALT” I don’t remember that days clearly.
When I was a junior high school student and high school student, I learned English at the classes. It was not games such as elementary school. The more I studied English, I like it the more. When I was 15 years old, I visited Australia for two weeks with my friend as a delegate of my junior school. There, I had experienced home stay only myself, take a train only myself, went to shopping with my host family, met an Australian ex-president, and so on. Back Kumamoto, I always remember these special days. That experience made me like English more than before.
I’m going to write about now. Of course I study English almost everyday at KGU. I was surprised at first last year, because teacher is foreigner. I was worried about whether I can understand what they say. However, I think, I could make progress more than before. At eibeigakka KGU, I attend listening class, speaking class, writing class, and reading class. Especially, I’m doing my best for listening and speaking. I can’t listen and speak well, so I would like to listen and speak English better. At the writing class, we have a lot of homework, but it made me better to write English.
When I was freshman, I studied French, but I was not interested in French. However, in addition to English, we must take another foreign language class. French was too difficult for me. I studied hard, but I couldn’t understand French. Now, I think it was good experience for me, because If I hadn’t taken a French class, I didn’t study another foreign language.
All in all, I’m a lucky girl, because If I had not visited Australia, I might not study English now. I think I have a lot of things to do now. I’m going to do my best, and I don’t want to forget my original intention. Then, I believe dreams come true in the future!

Speaking; My Group's Project
Yesterday morning, I talked with my group member Hikaru and Shoko. We talked about what we want to say everyone. Then, we decided what we say on the discussion.
Most of the students think more elevators in KGU are need for us. Especially in the 4th building, the 11building and the 12th building, there are not enough ones. There are many classes we often use, and many students are. In the 4th building has 4 floors and the 12th has 5 floor, nut there are only each one elevator. The 11th building has 7 floors. Some stairs are provided, but it is hard to go up to the 6th and the 7th floor. Most of the students use the elevator to go there classes. And it is uncomfortable for wheelchair user. In those classes, a lot of people have been late with congestions. Before class starting, there are often long lines in front of elevators. Therefore I think we need more elevators.
How many elevators do you think we need? The much answer is 2 in each building. Other is 3 more. It is better to build a few elevators, but it costs a lot to provide an elevator in fact.
By the way, some are sick in it, because of moving and smell. We ask whether they have been sick in it or not, and I found a little students have. I thought there are more students have, so I was surprised. I often feel bad in it. Then, we have an idea to set up escalators. We asked some students whether they want escalators instead of elevators. They want them because escalators can avoid the congestion.
Not only about elevators and escalators, but also we surveyed about tunnel connecting buildings and other ones. We use many buildings every day. We feel a groom on rainy days and hot days. Today, ultra-violence shower and stimulate our skin. We need some thing to avoid them, so we have an idea of tunnel. Almost student agree with the idea. They feel like us; ultra violence is danger. Then we think which is better to building the tunnel on the ground or under the ground. Out of my idea, many students said on the ground. I guess it mar the beauty of the scenery to do it on the ground. However some are afraid of incidents if it is built under the ground. I wound which is better.
Due to this interview, I found we need more elevators, and the tunnel as possible. I hope to get more elevators in KGU. It may give us more comfortable campus life.

Suddenly, the magic key took them home. The next day, two bigger children pushed her against the wall. Chip and Wilma saw it and told Mrs May. She helped Rosie. She was sorry she had been a bully, and she didn't bully anyone again. The next day, a new boy came to the school, and... he is not friendly... "Oh nooooo!"
After I read this book, I thought that “It is the most interesting book!!” The picture made me laugh. It was very funny and easy to read. Especially, story is great. I don’t like bully person too. I recommend everyone to read this book.

Then, they took him to the park, and they ride an elevator. Pip moved his arms around, and his small hand hit the magic button! The magic took them THE CARNIVAL. At there, they experienced a lot of things and had a good time. However at last, Pip cried again after the magic took them back.
I thought that "this book has the magic too." Another kind books always has "The magic" too. I envy them so much, because I have never seen the carnival. In this book, there are a dragon, a clown, long line of floats pulled by hoses, and so on. It made me exiting!! I would like to go to carnival.

Essay 2-02a: American culture
This time, I watched a lot of websites about American culture. I spent long time to find good website. I am very interested in America. Especially, I'm interested in Hollywood, music, and culture what is unique. I found website about them. I was so happy when I could find it.
First, I am going to about Hollywood. I have been interested in Hollywood since I was junior high school student. At first, I thought just "Actress and actor are so cool and beautifil!" but I watched I lot of movies, and then, I am interested in Hollywood more than before. I have known that Hollywood is the movie capital of the world. However, after I read this website, I realized that I have a lot of things I have not known about Hollywood. Foe example, "Hollywood films are shown in colleges and in treatment centers as they depict people with mental illness and substance abuse." and so on. If I have not watched this website, I can't know a lot of things. I'm glad to find it and I can know about Hollywood more than before.
http://www.lifeintheusa.com/culture/hollywood.htm
Next, I'm going to write about Rock and Roll of American music. Do you know this type of music? I have heard this name, but I don’t answer if someone asks me “What kind of music?” so, I want to know about this music. Rock and roll was the great synthesis of black and white American musical traditions. It began 1950’s. It is easy to read for us. I recommend you watch this website.
http://www.lifeintheusa.com/culture/rockroll.htm
Third, I am going to write about Yellow Ribbon of American culture. I have known it Yellow Ribbon a little, but I want to know more, so I watched website about it. Display of a Yellow Ribbon is a sign of loyalty to family, friends or loved ones who are welcome home. Have you known it? I have never known it. This website has back ground of Yellow Ribbon. I was surprised a little, because it is related to 19th Century Civil War Song. It gave me a chance to learn. I think this is great website, because we can know what we want to know, and we can learn back ground too! I recommend you it.
http://www.americanfamilytraditions.com/yellow_ribbon.htm
All the page of websites are easy to read and understand for me. After I read them, I feel happy, because I can get information what I want to know. I like America more than before.

Speaking: My dream TRAVEL(Revision)
Hello everyone! Today, I’m going to talk about TRAVEL of my future dream.
If I get married with my boy friend in the future, I want to go to Hawaii on a honeymoon. I want to stay there at least one week, because I have a lot of things to want to do with my husband. Especially, I have 3 things to want to do. Let me talk about it!
First, I want to go Waikiki Beach. At there, I would like to drink careful drinks and enjoy beautiful sea. Of course, I will wear a bikini. I think, almost every one thought that “You must be on a diet!” I know it. My boy friend often says to me “You should do weight!” I will do my best to wear a bikini. And At Waikiki Beach, I want to go for a walk around beach with him while watching the setting sun. I believe it is so beautiful and romantic! Of course I will walk hand in hand with him. It is more romantic!!! Don’t you think that?
Another things what I want to do in Hawaii is Diving. My father has visited Hawaii many times. He told me “If you visit Hawaii, You may do diving” There are a lot of beautiful fishes and sea is so clear. My boy friend and I have never done it. And, he likes watching a lot of kind of fish, so I want to do it with him. I think, he will jump for joy if he hear it.
The last thing what I want to do is shopping. There is a lot of brands shop. We can buy at a duty-free shop too. I would like to buy ring or necklace which is matching thing with him. I want to wear it forever. However, I want thing that is sold only Hawaii more than ring or necklace, because we can buy brand things in Japan. I think, it can be our treasure and happy memories for honeymoon.
This is my dream travel!! I believe dreams come true. Thanks for your listening.

BR 2-07: The Quest
I read the book named “The Quest”
Wilma was writing a story a quest. Wilma read the story to Biff.
Long ago, and far away, there was a beautiful land called Ulm. In a big cave, deep underground, was the crystal bell of Ulm. It was very beautiful. Even in the dark cave, it glowed like fire. The sound of the bell told every animal, every plant and every tree when it was spring or summer. The evil Grimlock lived in the cold, black mountains of Grim. He wanted the crystal bell of Ulm, and he spent years looking for it. Grimlock took the bell back to the land of Grim. In the sunlight, the bell looked so beautiful that Grimlock could not bear to look at it. Without the bell, the land of Ulm became dark and grey. All the beauty had gone from the land and the days were cold and long.
Biff liked it. Biff had to go to dentist. After Biff had gone, suddenly, the magic key began to glow, and Wilma was taken into a magic adventure. The magic took Wilma to the Land of Ulm. The land was cold and bare. Grimlock was hiding behind a tree. He wanted to stop Wilma from going on the quest. Soon the ground became wet and muddy. Her feet sank into the mud. Suddenly a white unicorn helped her. There was a ring tied to a ribbon round horse’s neck. She took the ring and the unicorn galloped away. She met a gnome there. The gnome took Wilma up the mountain to Grimlock’s castle. The gnome knew a secret way to get into the castle. At last, they came to the room where the crystal bell was hanging. Then the bell began to ring. It rang so loudly through the castle that cup and saucers broke, and the glass in the windows cracked. At last, Grimlock asked Wilma if she could make the bell stop ringing. Wilma and the gnome took the bell back to Ulm and the quest was over. When the bell returned, beauty came back to the land of Ulm again. The magic began to glow. Wilma finished her story.
This book is little longer more than ever I read, but it is interesting too. If I can use the magic, I also write story and taken by magic! If you can use magic, what do you do everyone?

Essays 2-01b: My special favorite placese
I have five favorite places in Kumamoto. Today, I am going to write about my five favorite places. My favorite places are Mt. Hanaoka, my grand faather’s house, Christmas season’s downtown, festivals and "kikuchijo" in Kikuka where we can see sunrise at New Year Day. These have some common points. One of these is at night, and other common points are quiet places, bustling and nature. I like there places so much, so I can’t choose only one.
One of my favorite places is Hanaoka mountain. Have you been there everyone? I have been there many times. At there, we can see so beautiful night view, stars, and moon if it is not cloudy. I like them very much. I think, some people likes lively night and some people like quiet night. I like both, but I like quiet night more than lively night. Hanaoka mountain is just right for me.
I have loved my grand father’s house since I was a child. His house is in Ueki. There are a lot of trees, beautiful stream and blue sky. It is just a country, of course there are no stores, but a lot of nature made me become composed. I can more set my mind than somewhere. I like nature so much.
However, I like down town too. At Christmas, there are many shiny illuminations, and it is glitter street. It made me feel “Today is Christmas!!” I like winter down town more than other seasons.
I like festival that is held my hometown called “yamagatourou” It is held in Yamaga every summer. At there, we can see beautiful fireworks. I am always impressed by fire works. Do you eat kakigori at festivals? I always eat it at festivals, because I like eating it while walking around festivals. I don't like bustling, but it is no problem just festivals.
I'm going to write about my especially favorite place. At New Year Day, I always go to see sunrise with my boy friend at “kikuchijo” in Kikuka. We can't sleep enough, because we must go “kikuchijo” early morning. If we don't go there early, we can't see sunrise. Sunrise is so beautiful and romantic! Our favorite place where we always go to see sunrise is in Kikuka. It is not famous, so only local people know there!
These are my five favorite places. I am glad if everyone who read my essay visit my favorite places.

Good evening everyone! I had 3 classes today. Reading, “nihon bungaku koudoku” and Speaking. At Reading class, I was surprised at BEIJING, because at BEIJING, Chinese couples too young to legally marry who refuse to split up could be sent to work camps. Have you known it? I have never known it. When I was high school student, I wanted to marry on young age, but now I don’t want to marry on young age. I want to experience more myself. I want to do a lot of things myself!
At Speaking class, we talked someone our schedules, listened to music, talking for group, and so on. I had a good time.

I always eat it at festivals, because I like eating it while walking around festivals. I don't like bustling, but it is no problem just festivals.
At last, I'm going to write about my special favorite place. At New Year Day, I always go to see sunrise with my boy friend. We can't sleep a lot, because we must go there early morning. If we don't go there early, we can't see sunrise. Sunrise is so beautiful and romantic! Our favorite place where we always go to see sunrise is in Kikuka. It is local and local people only know there! I think, it is the best place to see sunset in Kumamoto.
This is my 5 favorite places. I am glad if everyone who read my essay visit my favorite places.

This is draft of speaking. I’m going talk about TRAVEL of my dream on 26th October.
Hawaii
Waikiki Beach
Careful drinks
Wear a bikini
Go for a walk
Diving
Watching beautiful fishes
Shopping
A brand
Matching things
Commemorative things
Hello everyone! Today, I’m going to talk about TRAVEL of my future dream.
If I get married with my boy friend in the future, I want to go to Hawaii on a honeymoon. I want to stay there at least one week, because I have a lot of things to want to do with my husband.
For example, I want to go Waikiki Beach. At there, I would like to drink careful drinks and enjoy beautiful sea. Of course, I will wear a bikini. I think, almost every one thought that “You must be on a diet!” I know it. My boy friend often says to me “You should do weight!” I will do my best to wear a bikini. And At Waikiki Beach, I want to go for a walk around beach with him while watching the setting sun. I believe it is so beautiful and romantic! Of course I will walk hand in hand with him. It is more romantic!!! Don’t you think that?
Another things what I want to do in Hawaii is Diving. My father has visited Hawaii many times. He told me “If you visit Hawaii, I want you to diving” There are a lot of beautiful fishes and sea is so clear. My boy friend and I have never done it. And, he likes a lot of kind of fish, so I want to do it with him. I think, he will jump for joy if he hear it.
The last thing what I want to do is shopping. There is a lot of brands shop. We can buy at a duty-free shop too. I would like to buy ring or necklace which is matching thing with him. I want to wear it forever. However, I want thing that is sold only Hawaii better than ring or necklace, because we can buy brand things in Japan. I think, it can be our treasure and happy memories for honeymoon.
This is my dream travel!! I believe dreams come true. Thanks for your listening.

Draft essay 2-01a: my special favorite places
I have 5 favorite places in Kumamoto. Today, I am going to write abut my 5 favorite places.
At first, one of my favorite places is Hanaoka mountain. Have you been there everyone? I have been there many times. At there, we can see so beautiful night view, stars, and moon if it is not cloudy. I like them very much. I think, some people likes lively night and some people like quiet night. I like both, but I like quiet night more than lively night. Hanaoka mountain is just right for me.
Next, I have loved my grad father’s house since I was a child. His house is in Ueki. There are a lot of trees, beautiful stream and blue sky. It is just a country, of course there are no stores, but it made me become composed. I like nature so much.
However, I like down town too. At Christmas, there are many shiny illuminations, and it is glitter street. It made me feel “Today is Christmas!!” I like winter down town more than other seasons.
Next, I like festivals. We have a lot of festivals every summer, and we can see beautiful fireworks. I am always impressed by fire works. Do you eat kakigori at festivals? I always eat it at festivals, because I like eating it while walking around festivals. I don't like bustling, but it is no problem just festivals.
At last, I'm going to write about my special favorite place. At New Year Day, I always go to see sunrise with my boy friend. We can't sleep a lot, because we must go there early morning. If we don't go there early, we can't see sunrise. Sunrise is so beautiful and romantic! Our favorite place where we always go to see sunrise is in Kikuka. It is local and local people only know there!

What should we improve of KGU
Good evening Mr.Waterman! I’m sorry to late. At this project, my group members are Hikaru and Shoko. I do the project with them at first time, so I am glad!!!
We decided topics. At first, we want more elevators at building 4 and building 11. There are only one each buildings, but a lot of student attend classes at there. We always can’t use it because if we use it, we late for classes to wait our turn.
Next, we want parking area for students. I come to school by my car, but there is not parking area. I rent parking space and pay 8000 yen every month. We think, a lot of students come to KGU by car and some students want to come to KGU by car. Why there is not parking area for students?
At last, we want more tables at bakery. We often go to bakery at noon, but there are not enough tables to having lunch everyone who wants to eat at there.
This is our topics.

BR 2-01: Egyptian Adventure
ReferenceRoderick, Hunt. (2001). Oxford University.Oxford England:Agyptian Adventure.
Today, I read the book named "Egyptian Adventure" At first, I'm going to write about this story simply. One day, three children found the book and the key took the children back in time. It took a dog named Floppy too. The magic took them back to Ancient Egypt. At there, Floppy was stuck on the blocks of stone, and the people who are Egyptian misunderstand him for a king! So, the children worked hard to made a stone statue what look like Flappy. Then, they got back him!
After I read it, I think this story is so interesting. It made me laugh!! Is the dog a king? Why they think that "he is a king"? It is so amusing story. I want to visit Egypt and want to see sphinx. I recommend you to read this book!

My opinion
Today, I’m going to write my opinions. At first, I thought the question “Which is more refreshing and tasty?” I think, ice cream is more than refreshing and tasty, becauce Ice cream has a lot kinds. For example, vanilla ice, chocolate ice, strawberry ice, cookie ice and so on. We can enjoy many kinds of taste. Of course some of them are refreshing, some of them are tasty. However, kakigori has less kinds than ice cream. They are just ice. So, I think ice cream is more.
Next, I write my opinion about the question “which is better music?” In my opinion, Rock is better, because Jazz is too difficult for me to understand. I don’t know music what is Jazz. Do you know a lot? I think, Rock makes us happy, so I think Rock is better.
Third, I thought the question “Which would be more exciting?” I think a game-winning basket in overtime. I love basketball very much!!! I had been with basketball club for 7 years. I neither like playing soccer and watching soccer, because it is too difficult for me to play and understand rule. Basketball makes me exciting so much, because I think it would be more exciting.
At last, I write my opinion about the question “Which is more usefull?” In my opinion, a spoon is more usefull, because a knife can use only cutting. A spoon can cut if that is soft. A spoon can use for soup, pudding, spaghetti, curry, stew, and so on. Baby and kids can use it, but a knife is not used by baby and kids. If we will be in injuries, we can’t use a knife, but we can use a spoon. So, I think a spoon is more usefull.

I visited with my sister for a week in Kagoshima. My sister is a nurse school student in Kagoshima. At there, I had dinner with my family and my sister's friend Yuko at restaurant. It was very delicious. Then, my family left for Kumamoto. My sister, Yuko and I went for a drive. We went there to see a shooting star, but we couldn't see it.

Summer Vacation!
Hello everyone! Do you enjoy your summer vacation? Of course I enjoy my summer vacation. Today, I’m going to write about trip for Nagasaki with my friends. We went to trip to Nagasaki in August 13th to 14th by car. In august 13th, we left Kumamoto am5;00, and we arrived at “Hausutennbosu” in Nagasaki at about am10;00. Then, we enjoyed “Hausutennbosu” and took a lot of pictures. At night, we looked very beautiful fireworks. Next day, we left “Hausutennbosu” and went to “Itsukisima” in Nagasaki. At there, we could look very beautiful views. There were only forests and sea. I was impressed by it! We had very good time there.
