Happy days

I have attended Speaking class a short time ago. The teacher Daniel is interesting. He is a good teacher, I think. He performed a magic the class. We were very surprised with his ability. He performed two magic. I could see through second magic, so I was so glad. He also plays western music every class. I like his select, because I am fond of western music very much. I’m looking forward to the class every week. We have a speaking test two weeks later, so I want to do my best. I have to study hard to success the test. I want a credit, so I can do my best. By the way, I have a part time job today. I anticipate that a lot of people will come to my shop today. Moreover I work after a long time, so I worry about that I can work well. To tell the truth, I am very sleepy now. So I want to sleep to finish this blog soon. I want to sleep a long time in a day, but no such free time. So I’m looking forward to holidays every week. I think that holidays make us happy. To speak holiday, I want to tell about my life of holiday. I often go to the flower shop on holiday. I like flowers so. Many flowers make me comfortable and I feel better looking flower. Sorry it is a lie. In fact I am sleeping all the day. Hahaha. Thank you for reading. See you soon.

Reflection on Writing IV

I learned many things through Writing IV. I have grown up thanks to Mr. B. I really learned a lot of things such as words, grammar, idiom and so on. I hope they will be useful at some time. I have knew importance of English. I could know importance of book too. I thought it is important for us to read some books. I didn't like to read books before, but the books are my friend now. I also have knew importance of movie to write essay. There are many fantastic movies in the world. I remember that I was excited when I watched Robin Hood. I want to be a man like him. I think that movie has a chance to help us. I want to enjoy various movies from now. In conclusion I want to say that I love English! Haha! Bye!

Spring vacation plans


Do you like vacation? If you don’t like vacation, you are not a human. I have never met a person don’t like vacation. Spring vacation has long term, so we can do anything what we want. I should use the term well. I’m going to go shopping in next spring vacation with Hatimo. We will go Fukuoka prefecture to it. We really are looking forward to it. And I’m going to play soft tennis too. Tennis makes me excite. My friends will come back to Kumamoto in spring vacation, so I want play with them. I want to play to do a lot of things such as table tennis, darts, drive, trip and so on. I want to play all the time, but such life is not good as university student, I think. Moreover I have a part time job now, so I don’t have a free time in vacation. I have to study to improve my grades. I can not say that my present grades are good, so I need to improve it. Are your grades good or bad? I feel that my department students are smart. They all good at English and other subjects. So I have to do my best. Success in school calls for hard study. I am going to get up early and sleep early to accomplish it. Our health gives us many effects, so we had better take care of health. By the way, recently everyone ask me “What is your height?” To tell the truth, I don’t know my real height. So I want to know my height any day now. You must think that I had better go to the hospital double means. I know I know, I’m going to go to the hospital at an early date. I want to write my height on blog after I knew it. I think that nobody want to know it. I want more height, so I drink milk every day. But I don’t like milk so much. I feel the taste is good with breads. I like cocoa very much. It is 18:00 now. I’m very hungry.

Nicolas Cage

 Good morning everyone. I have to write 3500 words until today, so I got up early today. To tell the truth, I don’t know what should I write. So I want to write my thinking on and on. Luckily I don’t have a part time job today. If I have to work today, I could not write blog. But I must attend three classes today, so I don’t have a free time to write blog. I really don’t come up with topic what I write today. For the time being, I am listening to music on my ipod now. I like listen to music while I do something. I am listening Nelly now. He is one of my favorite artists. He is a famous R&B singer. His new album 5.0 is really good. All songs are good. I especially recommend “gone”. He is a famous but if you don’t know him, I want you to listen his songs by all means. My friend said that Nelly is good before too. And I am drinking apple juice now. I often drink apple juice because I like it very much. I prefer to orange juice than apple juice, so I want to drink orange juice at lunch time. I don’t have a confidence that I could finish to write blog. I’m very sleepy now, but I can not sleep today until words total to 15000. I have to leave home soon because I must attend the first class. I want to write 500 words at least until this morning. Homare Sawa was selected as world No,1 player now. She is not beautiful little, I think. She looks like Yasuko Mitsuura, but she plays soccer very well. I respect her in soccer. By the way, today is fine. It is a nice day to go out somewhere. I want to go shopping today by all rights, but I can not go everywhere because of blog. So I will do my best listening to the music. Music makes me feel better.
 Hi, I’m in e-campus center now. I have just attended first class. Then I went to school cafeteria with my friends. I went there after a long time. Of course I ate Tantanmen. Do you know the taste of tantanmen? Today’s tantanmen was very good. Then I went a vending machine to buy some drink with Hiroki. I bought Coca Cola and it was good too. Usually people say that Coca Cola is bad for our heath, but I don’t think so. Because Coca Cola is delicious. Hahaha. I don’t know friends who don’t like Coca Cola. I anticipate that Nicolas likes Coca Cola too. I think that he is little fat because he drinks Coca Cola or juice too much. I’m very glad! Because words total of my blog has reached to 12000 words at this time. By the way, I am addicted to weight training. I have been working out to develop my muscles because I want a perfect body. I always talk to my muscles. It is a lie, but really I work out my body. My friend Bora said that we had better work out once two days and it is better than once a day. Maybe he learned it from TV show. So I work out once two days believing him. I want to know the truth. I have found a nice cloth on internet just now! It is a mountain parka but little expensive for university student. I have a money but I don’t want to use money so much. But it is really cool, so I want go Kumamoto city. The brand shop is in Kumamoto city. My friend Hatimo said it is awesome too. Speak to him, he bought a new PC recently. He looks like very happy. I’m looking forward to look his new PC. I anticipate that his new PC is high sense. Hurdle was raised. Well, let’s go to his home. I want some new like him. I’m going to buy the cloth. Anyway Nicolas Cage is a great actor. Thank you for reading.

1/8

On January 8th, I participated in the Seijin-shiki ceremony though I’m still nineteen now. The Seijin-shiki ceremony is an event where local public bodies in Japan invite young people who enter adulthood during the fiscal year when Seijin-shiki is held, in order to encourage and cast blessings upon them. At present, the Seijin-shiki ceremony is often held on Coming-of-Age Day or its previous day, so our Seijin-shiki was held on January 8th too. The Seijin-shiki ceremony plays a role in giving new adults who participate in an opportunity to reunite with their friends for the first time in many years, and deepen their relationships, and also that parents want to congratulate their own children who are entering adulthood. As you know I’m from Mifune, so our Seijin-shiki was held at Mifune town culture center. The place is famous among Mifunejin like me and memorable place for me, because I used to go to there to play with my friends when I was a child. We could swim and do sport at there. I don’t know it is possible now. I think that everyone liked the culture center and sport center when they were children. I went Seijin-shiki with my friends by his car. When we arrived the place, everyone already were there. It was old faces. We really enjoyed Seijin-shiki. I was surprised with one person in particular. Yes, he is Kensei Kuraoka my friend. He was short when we were kids, but he had got a wild body like SP. Not only me but also everyone surprised with his improvement. I asked him the reason of changing. Then he said that he plays American football in university now, so everyone all laughed and were convinced with the reason. I have knew that people can change like him at that time. He is kind as he used to be. I want to write about one more person. Yes, everyone know Ryotaro Miyoshi. He often appears my blog. He is a public figure completely. To tell the conclusion, he had become a Hollywood star. He really looks like Nicolas Cage. He had become a dear old bird completely. All friends were calling him Nicolas Cage while the day. I have a image that Nicolas Cage in almost movies of overseas. So he becomes famous in many means. After Seijin-shiki, our junior high school reunion was held in Hotel Newsky. Of course we went the reunion. I really enjoyed it too. The reunion brought back my dear old school days. Of course Nicolas participated in the reunion. We took a photo with friends much. I think that everyone must enjoyed the reunion. I’m so glad if it is true. I went Kumamoto city to play with small member after the reunion. Daiki, Yusei, Yoshitaka, Konatsu, Shotaro, SP, Nicolas are them. I’ll introduce them here. Daiki is called Daiki by everyone. Yusei is called Yuseikun by everyone. Yoshitaka is called shira by everyone. Konatsu is a charming character among us. Kensei is a SP, I think. Shotaro is called Shochan by everyone. Nicolas is Nicolas. We enjoyed to do a lot of things. Such as table tennis, darts and so on. The table tennis added to the fun. Nicolas was belongs to the table tennis club when he was junior high school student, but he is not good at it. I think that we were good players than Nicolas. But surprisingly, he is good at darts. Moreover he played darts for the first time that day. We were very surprised with him. Nobody can beat him at darts, I think. But anybody can beat him at table tennis. I like table tennis very much. I think I’m good at it because I play table tennis at the class every Monday, and I was belong to tennis club before. I think a person who has experience that played tennis is good at table tennis too. I consider so because I saw such persons many times before this. They are all plays table tennis well. Many good players attend the table tennis club. I can’t win them with my present skill. I want to beat them at table tennis, so I want to play table tennis well. Then I want to beat them at some time. I have to attend the class every week if I want to do so. It is not pain for me because my group is very interesting. I always enjoy to talking with them. We are good member, I think. Return to main topic, anyway we enjoyed Cybac. But I regret extremely now. Because thinking back now, I wish I had attended the after party. My friends said that he enjoyed the after party after the after party. “It’s too late for regrets” is certainly well said. I want to live a life without regrets. If the reunion and party are held again, I want to go it. People learn from experiences. I learned about many things through this experience. I think I should make use of this experience. It was a nice day. Thank you.

On Omisoka, various events are held to see out the old year. I enjoyed it in my own way. I really enjoyed Omisoka and Gantan very much, so I want to write it this time. I always play with my friends in the end of the year. I played with friends this year too. Shotaro, Yusei, Ryotaro are them. They are good friends. We always play in the Ryotaro’s house. He has a koya apart from his house. The koya is wooden. His father made the koya. He is good at a Sunday carpenter. We played there this time too. We were making a plan to enjoy Nabe. We were looking forward to it very much. But we spent a lot of time to prepare Nabe. It were take about two hours. The Nabe was kimchi Nabe. The taste was so good though we made it by ourself. We used many foods in the Nabe. Tohu, beaf, chicken, vegetables, gyoza, and so on. Any foods were good for us. We all enjoyed the Nabe. Then we had a field day talking about old times. Memories of the good old days came flooding back one after another. Especially I remembered that I often played to use a chair with Shotaro when we were junior high school students. We also watched TV eating Nabe. The TV show was Gakinotukai. I watch it in the end of the year every time so we watched it. Everyone like it I think, but we used small TV because Ryotaro only has it at the koya. It was too small to watch TV, so we could not enjoy TV fully. But to tell the truth, we always talked something each other. We did not concentrate it. Ryotaro says strange things all the time, so we can’t understand it. We often enjoy the situation. He is a funny man. I will call him Ryo from next. Then we counted down the beginning of the year watching countdownTV. We all ate Toshikoshi-soba. Ryo’s family made it for us. Toshikoshi-soba is a term for buckwheat noodles which are eaten on New Year’s Eve for good luck. The most commonly held explanation for the origin of Toshikoshi-soba is the wish for a “slim but long and healthy life,” like buckwheat noodles. There are also regions in Japan where the custom of eating soba noodles on New Year’s Eve is less popular. The soba was very good taste. Then we decided to go Hatsumode. Hatsumode is an event to pray for safety and peace for the year by visiting a shrine or temple, or church for the first time since the start of a new year. Every year, many worshippers visit the shrine in the New Year period. Then we were troubled with where should we go to pray. There were many choices, so we decided to decide to play cards. As result, we decided to go Sanshamairi. Sanshamairi which is a custom at various places in western Japan means visits to three shrines for Hatsumode on New Year’s Holidays. The people who live at the places where this custom has been established do Sanshamairi as a matter of course regardless of particular special piety, considering Hatsumode is Sanshamairi. But we had never done Sanshamairi before this. Moreover visiting multiple shrines on New Year’s Holidays sounds a little peculiar to the people who do not have a custom of Sanshamairi and some of them get it negatively saying “It may reduce appreciation,” and “It may be not so good”. Even though there are these thinking, we went Sanshamairi. We went to Kitaoka shrine first. We went there for the first time. I felt that the shrine is so beautiful of shrines I saw ever. Then we drew Omikuji at there. Omikuji are sacred lots drawn at shrines or temples to tell our fortune. The ratio of good to bad fortunes in the Omikuji varies among temples and shrines however in recent years some temples and shrines are reducing the ratio of bad fortunes. My fortune was Kichi. Kichi means fairly good. My friends fortunes were all Daikichi. Daikichi means very good. I was not so pleased because of it. In Hatsumode, a lot of people throw in as Saisen 45yen which means bringing good luck. But I didn’t have a five yen, so I threw 10yen in as a Saisen. Then we went Kengun shrine as second shrine. The shrine is famous among inhabitant of Kumamoto prefecture, so many people come to the shrine every year. But we had never been there, so we went there for the first time. The place was huge and a lot of people were in there. We thought that Kengun shrine is bigger than our local shrine, Wakamiya shrine. I think bad thing happened later because we thought it. Then we were going to go home after we enjoyed Kengun shrine, but bad thing happened at that time. Yes, suddenly it began to rain. We all thought that we must facing a penalty for our act soon. We considered if we won’t go their local shrine, god get angry with us. Because of it we felt really frightened, so we decided to go to our local shrine. Yes you know Wakamiya shrine. All people of Mifune town go Wakamiya shrine when Hatsumode every year. I don’t know Mifune’s person who don’t know Wakamiya shrine. It is famous among Mifune town. We visited to Wakamiya shrine with our sorry. I thought local is important and we should care for our local anytime. We were at ease because we went there. I had a hunch that good year will begin. Then we went home. We all were really sleepy, but very good day was. Happy New Year!

Reconstruction of language learning histories

I want everyone to know my history about language this time by all means, so I will write about it from now. A lot of people use many languages now. Some of them can speak some languages. They are called bilingual, trilingual. It has become quite common now. I have interest with them. Now then, how was such languages style formed? I want to write my thinking first. I think that they are affected by surrounding environment. For example, if someone live a foreign long time, he will learn the country language. The influence of surrounding environment on people is great, I think. Moreover I think people were affected by their parents for language, because when they were babies, they often heard voice of parents. Parents language must affect their child directly. How is language style formed, there are a number of possible causes for this. So next paragraph will mention that how my language style were formed in my life.

First I will write about my mother tongue, Japanese. I have learned Japanese before I was born, because I think that I was hearing Japanese when I was in the womb. I expect that my parents were talking to me. I have touched Japanese since that time. I was happy. Then I was born. I think I was affected by many people much for language when I was a baby. For example, my father, mother, grandmother, grandfather and so on. They talked to me much, I remember that. I gradually remembered Japanese in this way. Then I entered the nursery school when I was two. I learned elementary Japanese there. Japanese is fantastic.

Then I entered elementary school when I was six. I studied basic of Japanese there in some way. For example, singing a song, writing a letter, hearing Japanese, and so on. I remember that Japanese teacher was a kind teacher, so I liked Japanese. I used many Japanese in conversation with friends, teacher, so I learned how to use Japanese. I liked talking with my friends very much. Friends is important.

Next I want to write about English. I entered junior high school when I was twelve. I had touched English there first. I studied English as second language. I liked English soon, because I felt that English is cool. But I didn’t like English teacher, because his pronunciation was strange. I wanted to speak English well. My English grade was very good every year, because I liked it. Then I advanced high school. I liked English class there too. It was fun for me to take the class. Grade of high school English was good too, so I am in English department now. English is fantastic.

I learned Spanish too. I have studied Spanish since I was a freshman. Spanish is used in all over the world now, so I decided to take the class. Spanish is very difficult language, I think. I felt it was complicate. But I did my best, my Spanish grade was A. I was glad very much. Moreover Spanish teacher, H.Okamura was interesting man. I think that any person who is Kumamoto Gakuen University know him. He was sometimes kind, sometimes strict. We were always talked about him. We still remember the time we spent together with him. I can speak Spanish little now. Spanish is fantastic.

Finally I will write conclusion. I like foreign language so much, so I want to learn other language more. Korean, Chinese, German, for example. Then I want to communicate with all over the world people to use many languages. I think that all language are fantastic. Let me say anyway. People learn from experience. That’s all.
