My favorite holiday

My favorite holiday is New Year's Day!
Because I can have luxury meal and lie around watching TV all day on that day.
Although I don't have Otoshidama, I could have it from my relative before.
Also, on that day, New year's cards are sent.
Reading the cards is pleasant.
So, I'm looking forward to coming New Year's Day!

University festival

During university festival, I went to that with my friends of high school.
I have not been to uiversity festival, so I was looking forward to going to that.
But that day was rainy, so I was so disappointed.
At university festival, many people asked us to buy foods.
We declined that at first, but finally we couldn't decline and we bought some foods.
I was surprised at student's aggressiveness.

my favorite high school memory

My favorite high school memory is the school festival.
When I was the second year of senior high school, our class did a play.
Although I didn't appear the play, I prepared for the play during summer vacation.
That was very hard, but I enjoyed it.
Finally, our class got a prize!
In the third year, our class sold "IKAYAKI".
I keepped on mixing the wheat flour and water and squids for 3 hours without a rest!!
I was so tired, but that is a good memory for me now.

trends in Japan

I think that trends in Japan is Japanese idol group, ARASHI.
I'm not fan of ARASHI,but almost of my friends like it.
It appears on television every day.
For example, TV drama,variety, and news.
Its activity is various.
Also, its CDs are selling well.
Although CDs are not selling very much in Japan, ARASHI's CD are selling.
I think that ARASHI is popular among every generation.
So I think ARASHI is trends in Japan.

How wii the world change?

I think the world will be more global.
So more people will be able to go to foreign country.
More people comes to Japan and we can meet more foreigner.
I think that is so exciting.
But I think globalization has bad effect.
Because our own culture may change.
In Japan, there are many traditional culture.
I think we must save them.

Globalization

I think globalization gives people many things.
For example, we can get opportunities to study languages and meet foreigner and information of foreign county.
Thanks to globalization, people can travel all over the world.
Therefore we can meet foreigner in our own countries.
That gives us opportunities to know foreign cultures and may change our thoughts.
People also can study foreign language thanks to globalization.
We can study abroad and have native speaker teach language in our countries.
Thus I think globalization has many good things.
So I can know foreign cultures and language.

My summer vacation plans

I have some plans for summer vacation.

First, I am going to USJ many times.
Because I have a passport of USJ.
So I can go to USJ many times.
I want to ride a new attraction.
Second, I am going to do part time job.
While I was going to university, I could not do it.
I want to maney! So I want to work.
Third, I am going to a driving school.
I don't have a driver's license.It is inconvenient.
Because my town is a country and there are nothing.
When I go somewhere, I need a car.
So I want to get the license soon.

I have many plans.
So I am looking forward to summer vacation.

My future

I haven't concretely decided a job I want to have in the future yet.
But I want to do something related to foreign countries.
And I want to go many countries.
I think if I go to foreign countries, I can learn a lot of things that I can't learn in Japan.
I also think going to foreign countries changes my thinking.
So I have to study hard about various things about them.
Of course, I also have to study English harder.

My favorite place

My favorite place is Hokkaido.
In Hokkaido, I had happy days.

I visited Hokkaido on a school trip in "March". It was very cold and still snowed.
But the snow was powdery snow. It was so different from snow in Nara.
I'm a little impressed!

I visited Otaru, Furano,and Sapporo.
In Furano, I skied with my friends.
The view from snowy mountain was beautiful.
In Otaru and Sapporo,I bought many sweets.
For example,"Shiroi Koibito".It is standard sweets in Hokkaido.
There are a lot of deicious food in Hokkaido.

These are my happy memory.

I came to like Hokkaido by this trip.
Next time, I want to go there in "summer".

Golden Week

I went to Kyoto with my mother on Tuesday.
I live in Nara, but I have not gone to Kyoto to see the sights.
It was crowded very much in Kyoto because of the Golden Week.
There were many tourists.

At first, I ate maccha parfait at Tsujiri.
Tsujiri is very famous cafe in Kyoto.
The parfait was so good.

After that, I went to Kiyomizu temple.
The view from Kiymizu temple was beautiful.
I took a lot of photographs.

I came to like Kyoto!!
I want to go to Kyoto again.
I want to go to Kinkaku-ji, Ginkaku-ji and Arashiyama next time!

school life

I was worried weather I could make friends before I entered KGU.
But some people talked to me,so I could make friends.I was so happy.

It takes me about 2 hours to get to KGU.
So I have to get up early. That is very hard for me.
But I want to be used to that.

In the English classes,I can't speak English well.
I think that I must study English harder.
I will make an effort.

School life is very busy.I am tired.
But I want to enjoy it.
