#8 end of writing 1

1)    Thanks for our English Writing class, I improve some skills. For example, at the “ten minutes writing,” I write 141 words at first, but I came to write over 200 words at last writing. At some of the class in autumn, I sometimes stop writing because I didn’t come up with what I want to write. But the number of word I wrote is increase gradually, and at the first practice in January, the score improve dramatically. 

This is that my fluency of thought and writing in English is improved, and the mistake about grammar is getting less, I think. Another thing I learn is the rule of paragraph. If I did not take this class, I would write sentences with no indent. Even when I took the entrance examination, I may have made paragraph with no indent. I think most of us had learned grammar - how to make sentences - but have not learned how to make paragraph. So this lesson about paragraph is very important for us to make English document (this skill will be helpful for us.)

2)　　　In next semester, I would like to learn how to write official things like an e-mail to our teachers or reports. Sometimes we should send our homework to teacher, but it is not clear while the contents of e-mails were polite or rude. I want more knowledge to write because rude documents make our impression worse. So I want to come to be able to write politely and in right way.

#7 Spring Vacation

     In this Spring Vacation, I have a lot of things to do. On February 13th, I join the meeting of Tsutinoko club. That meeting is about what we will do for the welcome party for new students. It means I’m going to be a second grader in this university. “Time flies” is the perfect to describe my thought.

the rest of this school year is only 1/6

Then on 22th and 23th, I’ll join the party farewell party of cycling club. It is going to start at 18:00 p.m. and continue until morning in the next day. I hope I finish without problems. The last plan in February is joining field trip about Taisei-maru. I’m looking forward to go the field trip because I’m interested in the mechanism of such a plant. Next, in March, I have two travel plans. One is visiting Kinosaki with members of Tsutinoko on 5th and 6th.

Now I have some members of Tsutinoko whom I don’t know or don’t talk so much, so I want to be more close to them. Another is training camp of cycling club in Kyushu from 9th to 18th. It starts in Kumamoto and finish in Kagoshima.

I have these many plans for this Spring Vacation so I am looking forward to the vacation. I hope you also will have good vacations. See you.
 

＃６ free topic: my travel experience

     I will talk about my travel experiences. You know, I am a member of a cycling club and in summer and spring vacation we travel somewhere by bicycle and last summer vacation, I went Shinshu includes Nagano, Niigata, Toyama and Gifu for ten days. I have both good and bad experiences. Good ones is about camping.

To tell the truth, I had never went camp before joined the club. So making meals with friends and rest in tents  was very exciting for me. One recipe I was amazed was called” chaos-stew.” It was a stew used sauce for yakiniku, grilled meat and in it, many meat and vegetables. I think using the sauce for stew is not good for our health, but it was very delicious. In tents, we talk each other about something fun about someone happened in that day and we laughed a lot, know more about members. Bad experiences are some bad weather day. We rode and did camps even if it is heavy rain. On worst day we were in Shirakawago, it famous for traditional houses, I shook with cold, even though in August.

we rode in 53 mm per hour

In this trip, I had some good experiences, I think, so I continue this club.

＃５ if i could have dinner with ...

　　　　　If I could have dinner with anyone, I want to do with King Khufu.

 I have questions from two aspects. One is of course about the biggest pyramid in Egypt which is said it is his tomb. The other is about the life as a king of Egypt. In regards to the former, Since my elementary school days, I have  been interested in these mysterious structures or things called OOPArts, which stands for out of place artifacts. And I want to ask him some questions. For example, “is the pyramid is yours? “ , if so, “how to build it ?” and “what purpose?”. If he said “it’s not mine ”, I would ask what the pyramid is. 

Then I would ask about latter questions. I want taught by him his daily life and how to manage the nation. I think he has a lots of popularity because he is a king and maybe the owner of the pyramid. So the latter question is what the secret of making good reliance on anyone is. By this dinner I could have good knowledge or new mystery about pyramid and wisdom about association.

#4 my winter vacation

Happy new year!

  

   I’m enjoying my winter vacation in my house in Wakayama. prefecture and write about my event in this vacation.

Yesterday, on January first, my family( father, mother and brother) and I visited my grandparents and went　Tamatsu-shima shrine Wakaura tenmangu shrine for the first visit of shrine with them because my little brother is to be the third grade in high school in April.　

three near me are my family. AT Wakaura Tenmangu shrine.

At the  first shrine we watched a first sun rising. It was cloudy then, but we could watch it from very slight non-croud space.

the sunrise 

Then we enjoy my grandmother’s OSETI for lunch at their house. Visiting shrine and grand parents’ house by car is usual our shogatu style. But this year there is a big difference. It is that the driver is me. Driving long distance is very nervous to me because these three reasons. First, I got divers’ license only about three months ago. Second, after second period in the university is started, I did not drive any cars. Third, although road in front of my house is very narrow, our car is 6-8 seats car.

     Today is very peaceful for me. I rest in my home and prepare for my returning to Kobe.

     Yes, I’m going to go back Kobe tomorrow after visit Arima-onsen with my family. I heard this plan three or four days ago, so I was very surprised.  Maybe I should drive our car. I hope to have no trouble until I get to my room in Sumiyoshi dormitory. This January third, I have one more plan that the new year meeting of our cycling club. I’m looking forward to tomorrow.

I think these are big events in this winter vacation. This winter vacation may be the best, I think.

Have a nice holiday!

Blog #3 MY FAVORITE PLACE

           I have two favorite places. They are the places I often went and sometimes want to go.

One is Saisho-ga-mine peak. Some people call that place Yuri-yama. From the peak we can see my hometown Kinokawa city in Wakayama prefecture.   We can see our city and some paragliders from the viewpoint. I love this view very much!

look at this great view!

paragliders

with my bike!

 For me as a cyclist, the peak is good place. Climbing is a little hard, but when I go down, I feel very exciting! (…. I do cycling safety, don’t do danger ride.)

   

           Next is Kokawa-dera temple. This is a third temple at what is called 33 temples in western japan.  And it locates near my high school and a cram school I went in my high school days.

Kokawa temple

      So I have a lot of memories in this temple.　When I got tired from studying, I walked to the      temple and got relaxed in the quit and pleasant atmosphere. And I also go there with my KLB     members for Hatsumode, which is our first visit of the year to a shrine. So in the site, there is a temple and shrine. Then, before I came to Kobe, my best friend and I visit there for making last memory in the high school days.                    

     I have a lots of other places I like, but these ones are the beat for me because I visited these places many times and have many memories.

Blog #2: If I had ￥100,000,000

I’ll talk about how to use \100,000,000 if I had.

First of all, I would keep 10,000,000 for buying foods, join my clubs, paying school expenses and paying my rent for four years.

Then I would use rest 90,000,000 for this.

First, I bought what I want. I would buy a silver plated alto sax (I used silver one in my high school days) and a mute which is used for turning down the volume of instruments. I would come to enjoy playing the sax again. I would also buy the parts of bicycles and modify my bicycle. And I also would buy camping tools. That’s why I want to go and to travel strange place by bike.

Second, I want to travel by the Singapore airlines’ suite class with my family. It is the highest quality service of the airline service. By A380 plane, I want to go abroad and enjoy visiting remains. I am very interested in both the service and remains in foreign country. And my family would be happy to go abroad by such special plane.

But there would be too many extras, so I would buy stock of McDonald’s to get stockholders’ discount ticket. It is more matched for me than too many bills.
