August 19

I ate KIWI burger fir the first time. It was so good. But, I got lost today. We went to St. Lukes shopping mall. When we went back our home, we rode another bus. So, we went in the opposite direction. I had a dreadful experience. We rode a bus at 5:30 p.m. But, I went back home at 6:40 p.m. My home is very cloth to St.Lukes.
And I went to Muriwai beach and ganet colony today. It was a violent wave. And smell is bad because of sea bird’s droppings. But, it was beautiful view. Sand of beach is black, because of sand containing iron. And we could watch a little seal! It was so cute. And we drank a hot chocolate. It’s so sweet. We ate a ice cream. It was yummy!
At school, we had an interview with Miora. She is teacher. Her hobby is tramping. She explained how to tools of tramping. It is very interesting.
After school, I read to my host children the book in English. It’s Kiwi’s book. I was nervous. But when I finished reading, my host family praised. I want to speak well more!

August 6 and 7

August 6
I went shopping. I went to St. Lukes shopping mall. But, I bought only stickers, card and book. I enjoyed shopping! And I gave my family gifts which bought from Japan. They seemed to be glad. I was relieved. And I have a cold! So, I feel sluggish. I took some medicine. I 'm tired. And I will go to Kelly tarinton tomorrow. And NZ is too cold. I'm freezing!!!

August 7
I went to an aquarium called Kelly tarinton. There were a lot of penguins and fishes. There were some stingrays, too. And we rode a small red train. We could see penguins at close. They were so cute! But, Mana forgot her hat there. She looked so sad.

And we went to Panel road. We bought chocolates. It was very yummy!! Panel road is very historical place. After that, we went back to our school. We attended a class. We did roll playing and we did shaping and melting. We had a good time. And we bought a bus card. But, shopping assistant is bad!

And when I went back home, Riley kissed me!! I was so happy!! I love Riley. Then I ate curry for dinner. This wasn't hot. Japanese curry and rice is too hot for me. So, it was good! And rice was similar to Japanese. So, I like it! My host mother said "Do you miss rice?" So, I said "A little." Mother said, "I cook more!" I was glad. Thank you, mum. And we should examine my topic tomorrow. But, I don't decide my topic.

What I think about blogging

I think it's important for us to blog in English. We can know different opinions all over the world. Blogging in English, we can memorize English words naturally. And we can see a variety of pictures. I like to keep a diary with some pictures.

And I like to look my friend's blog. When I look my friend's blog, I think I want to refer. I can make my blog which I like and add many things. And we can comment a post which we are interested in. I'm looking forward to comment. Because I can know my friend's thinking. It’s hard for me to post every day but I should post every day. And I should make good use of blog.

essay 1-05: Personal language learning history

'll show you my language learning history. Languages are very important. There are many languages in the world. And I met four languages in my life. For example, it is Japanese, English, German, and Chinese. I mainly use Japanese. But, I mainly study English now. Japanese and English are very important for my life.

First, it is about Japanese, my mother tongue. When I was a child, my parents read to me a lot of picture books every night. So, I could know a lot of Japanese words. And my mother taught me my name's kanji. So, I could write my name in kanji. My mother strictly taught my name in hiragana. I hate practicing hiragana, but I think this time is important for me. When I was a child attending kindergarten, I learned all hiragana and katakana. So, I could read some books and various words by myself. Thanks to my mother, I like to read book. I read a lot of books, so I became increasing my Japanese vocabulary. And thanks to read a lot of books, I was good at Japanese.

Second, when I was a elementary school student, I have taken private lessons in English. I learned English then for the first time. And I was interested in English. When I was a junior high school student, I had a dream. I thought I want to go abroad, and I want to be a cabin attendant. This dream is still not change. And when I was a high school student, I met an English teacher. He gave me some advice when I was in trouble. I had a dream, but I didn't have any confidence in my English. But, he taught me how to study English. For example, how to memorize English words, how to read English sentence, and so on. I thought I owe what I am to him. And, I thought that I need more skill up of English. And now, I go to KGU. And I mainly English there. My friends' English is very good. I respect them. And I attend English conversation class. once a week My speaking is poor. I want to speak fluently.

My purpose of learning languages is two things. First, it is for getting some licenses. For example, it is Eiken, TOEIC, TOEFL, and so on. Licenses are important for get a job. Second, it is for coming true my dream. As mentioned above, I want to be a cabin attendant. And I want to work at foreign country in the future. So, I have to learn a lot of languages for my dream.

And, I will go to New Zealand in this summer. I have never gone abroad. So, this is my first trip abroad. I want to learn New Zealand's cultures, foods, hobbits, and so on. I want to skill up of English, and to have confidence my English. A proverb says "Seeing is believing". I want to feel an atmosphere of foreign country.

Learning language is very important. Because, we can understand each other. Japanese is my mother tongue and I always use Japanese. We should learn Japanese more, because we are Japanese! We should use correct Japanese. English is important in modern society and a common language in the world. I want to learn English and Japanese more. And I come true my dream.

Foreign country

I have never been to foreign country. My favorite foreign country is Australia. Because food is delicious, and there are a lot of wonderful natural views. And there are many kangaroos and koalas. When I was a junior high school student, I wanted to go to foreign country. It was my dream.

And I will go to New Zealand on August. I get a passport. I'm looking forward to going to New Zealand. I want to learn various things. And I want to go to Europe next time. Because I want to fell real things. For example, famous foods, pictures, sculptures, buildings, and so on. There are a lot of amazing things in foreign country. Japan also has good point. But, I want to look various things what Japan doesn't have.

And club activity is very fun. I enjoy club's activity. I have two part-time jobs after school. I spend busy days. I have to do a lot of things every day.

I go to KGU every day by train. I will get up early before 1 hour when I go to school. It is very hard. And, the train is jammed full. I am uncomfortable every morning. I am the department of English. I study English and other class. And, I have a lot of friends there. We must do a lot of homework. It is very hard, too. But, we enjoy doing homework, because we do it together. And we give mutual help to each other. I love my friends who are English department. My friends are very kind and interesting. And, they are nice character. When I talk with my friends, I am happy and become composed. And I respect my friends, because their English is very excellent.

I belong to club. The club is broadcasting club. Club meeting is every day. So, I can see club's member every day. We filmed original drama last week. I was the leading part in the drama. And we will make "radio drama". "Radio drama" means performing a drama only our voice. And we sometime go for a drive, and eat for dinner together. Club's friends are very amusing. My club is like a family. So, I consult with my friends about various things. We will make a lot of memories together. I love my club.

I have two part-time jobs. I work at a bar and a caterer's shop. The caterer's shop do food delivery service. This shop is near my house. The shop's staffs are very kind. When I work there, I sometime make a mistake. But, staffs help me then. I can learn various things there. I can know the society. And I want to save money for my future. Anyway, please come to eat to my store once.

My university life is very busy. But I enjoy every day, because I have a lot of good friends, interesting classes and our club activities. Daily life is irreplaceable for me. I think I am supported by my friends. I cannot dream of my life without friends. I want to spend a full life more after this with my friends.
