I introduce myself. First is elementary school. I went to miyuki elementary school. It is very near from my house. It just cost 3 minutes!!! But I and my sister went to school about 15 minutes!! It is very unbelievable!! I had belonged to kendo club since I was 7 years old to 10 years old and had belonged to brass band club since I was 11 years old to 12 years old. It was very hard for me to play Kendo but it is very fun for me. Thanks for it, I have perseverance, I think. I would often play with neighborhood after school. We usually played tag!! I liked very much. My father was business bachelor for 2 years so that my family went to Takamori once a week. It snowed a lot in winter so that my sister and I often played outside. It was very fun!!
Next is junior high school. I like to study English very much. I didn’t belong to club and I went to crime school. I studied very hard because of entrance examination for high school. I hated science so that it was very hard to study.
Third is high school. I went to Kyusyu Gakuin high school. I liked English so that my major was English for 3 years. Our class had 10 classes in a day so that we studied very hard. It was very hard for me but I studied for entrance examination for university. Our school is Christianity so that we had religious education once a week. It was very interesting!! I belonged to brass band club for 6 months and played the flute. It is fun but I wanted to study more so that I gave up belonging it. In my life, spending Kyusyu Gakuin was very wonderful day for me.
Now, I go to Kumamoto Gakuen University. In fact, I wanted to Kumamoto University for a long time but it didn’t come true. I thought many times “I should have studied more”.

I want to continue to study English. I want to take a job using English and other language. I study Spanish too and I am very interested in Spanish now.A few years ago, I had two dreams. First, I wanted to be a police officer because my father is a police officer. He sometimes talks me about his job. I am interested in the job very much. Second, I wanted to be a music teacher. I had practiced the piano since I was 3 years old to 18 years old and had practiced the violin when I was 8 years old to 18 years old. My teacher taught me piano and violin. Her playing is very great!! I like to listen to her playing very much. I like music very much. My teacher is very wonderful person so that I wanted to be a music teacher like her. But my dream is changing a little day by day.I don’t have a dream clear now. I have a part-time job and work in a crime school. I teach English grammar and classic Japanese. Recently, I often think “I like to teach” so that I have thought about teacher in high school.

I could not go to high school where I wanted to go. But I was very glad to go Kyusyu Gakuin high school. It was very wonderful memory to spend there for me.
I couldn’t go to university where I wanted to go so that I decide to study English very hard.

It is very great I watched two movies from the website. They were about Egypt and The Ice Age. I have leaned a little about Egypt. But I did not know particular about the country. I have also leaned The Ice Age but I did not know detailed about the age. That movie gave me a lot kind of knowledge.

I did not know about Egypt but I was interested in about the country so that I have watched a TV program before about it for a few times for example pyramid, Tutankhamen, Cleopatra and so on. Egypt has a lot of pyramid and they are very mysterious and beautiful, I think. This movie from the website showed me about pyramid. I always think that how the early people built that pyramids. It is very great and wonderful thing!! There were not crane and any other machine!! And Egypt has a very great river. The name of river is Nile. The river is the longest river in the world. I think that Egypt has not only great history but also beautiful river. I also think that that day’s people are very smart.

I did not know about The Ice Age and I was not interested in that age. But this movie showed me a lot of knowledge. I think that the most important thing for that age’s people is fire. It is very important for us but it is more important than now. If it were not for fire, I could not eat food, warm up and so on. Fire protected them from outside enemy especially wild animal. They had not weapon like now. They made a lot of weapon to protect selves. The masterpiece is carving knife and which was made of stone. It has a lot of different kinds. Thanks to them, they were able to cut meet so that they could eat food easily. If I had been born that day, I could not have live for a long time. I think that that day’s people ware very strong and help each other than now. The nature is also beautiful than today, I think. I think that because there were no car, factory, deforestation and so on, it is very hard to live in that day.

I think that I’m happy because there are a lot of convenient things in the world.

BR 2-01: A Dog Named Sam

2009-10-07T10:58:00.004+09:00

This book is written a dog named Sam and has three stories about Sam.
Sam loved to fetch more than any other things. Sam fetched shoes, clothed and newspapers. He could please father, Molly and Noah. But he fetched the whole clothesline so that mother was angry. But he fetched Molly and Noah so that Sam pleased mother. I think he is a very cute dog!!
Sam loved swimming very much. He wanted to swim in the sea or pool but people didn't like swimming with a dog. So he couldn't swim when he wanted to. One day Molly and Noah swam in a pool in thier garden. Sam jumped into the water!! They were very suprised but they were happy. Sam could swim with them so that he was very happy!! This story made me happy!!
In night, Sam sang, barked and howl many times so that his familly could sleep well. Because he was very miss, he howl!! I think he is a lonely dog. But in morning, he enjoyed a lot of things with his familly so that he was very happy!! This story was a little sad but the last was very happy story, I think.
