essay 2-03a My university life
In this essay I want to write about my university life. I’m a student of Kumamoto Gakuen University. I’m a second grade student and study English at this university. Every day I have to go to school by car or train. And it takes an hour so if I miss the train I’ll be late even the class starts an hour later.
As I wrote in the first paragraph, I belong to the department studying English. In this department we usually study English and try to develop our own English skills. There’re many facilities to study English. For example, there’s an “English Lounge” where you can’t speak Japanese at all in that room. You can improve your speaking skills and listening skills. However I haven’t been there before. And if you take an exam like TOEIC, it is cheaper than taking the exam outside of the university. I’m very satisfied with that but I don’t like the way they draw the prize money to high grader student.
In class we study the 4 skills of English like reading, writing, speaking and listening. In the first grade we studied the grammar. It was like review of the high school English. Sometimes we also study about American and England literature. I like the way how American story ends, the main character will always have been killed or suicide at the last. But I’m not so interested in literature. I can’t remember who wrote what and the masterpiece of that writer.
I also study how to become an English teacher. In this curriculum, we study many things. For example, we study the constitution of Japanese education. We read the constitution and understand what it shows. It tells very simple so you have to read very hard. We also study about the guideline of education. We have to remember what it is and what is written about. Finally we also learn how to study English. This is the most important thing. It’s very difficult to teach English to junior high school student easier. There’s many ways just to teach one word. You can say the same thing to other skills. I did some micro teaching in this curriculum. I got very nervous and I thought I was going to die.
Now I want to write about clubs and circles. I Don’t belong to any clubs or circles. Because I heard that every week we have to drink and use a lot of money to many things. I didn’t think I have enough money and first of all I can’t drink much as everyone else can. So I can use that time and money to other things like the assignments. I have a lot of homework to do so if I belong to a club or circles. I think I won’t have enough time to do it.
Finally I don’t have part-time job now. I used to have one but the company was very company. They don’t treat the customer as a “god”. I’m the one who is going to be complained from the customer. So I quit. I want it but I’m too busy in last few weeks so I don’t need it. Although I want many money.

A new TV
I bought Sony's Bravia and the size is 32V. I feel the size is much bigger that I expected. I bought a new TV because the eco-point will be reduced into be half and anyway I had to buy a new TV for the digital terrestrail broadcasting.
I'm very satisfied because this TV has LED backlight and high-definition television. And when I connect PS3 with HDMI cable and see a movie, it's very beautiful. My older TV was a cathode-ray TV, the quality of sound is very clear. And it's very thin!! (91 words)

BR 2-09: Horses and Ponies
This book is written about horses and Ponies. The diffrence between horses and ponies is the size, said the book. The "big" horses are horse and "small" horses are poines. When I heard this I was very disappointed. I totally though there was a clear diffrence between two of them. The diffrence was just the size.
The book also written about the ecolgy about the horses and ponies. These animal don't like to live their own. So they make a herd. If one of the horse starts to run, all the herd will run away. That's way they can be safer then living on their own. When they run, there's an each name for their running. When they run very fast it's called galloping. When they run slowly, it's called cantering. When they jog, it's called trotting. When they walk, it's called walking. Finally they can comunicate with each other.
Horses and Ponies are very friendly animal. When you get trusted from horses, they can let you touch. Wild horses won't of course let you touch. (174 words)

BR 2-08: Under the sea
This book tells animals which lives under the sea. This book explains the detail very short and but it's easy to read. It's easy because the book uses only easy english so you can understand the difficult words. And also the book is made very rough. There're many kinds of sea animals but this book only tells eleven things. If you here this, you may think it's ridiculous but this book tells the almost all the matter you may think about sea animals. This book tells about Dolphins, Sharks, Jelly fish, Penguins. The most interesting part that I felt was the page that tell about Dragons and Horses.

2-02b My language experience
I have learned 3 languages in my life. Those are Japanese, English and Spanish. Japanese is my native language and the english is my second language. I start to learn Spanish since I entered this university.
The native language, which is Japanese was difficult for me to study. Speaking and Listening wasn't so difficult but writing and reading, especially Kanji was very difficult for me to master. It took time for me to learn Kanji because there's a lots of meaning and diffrent reading depends on different situation. For example the Japanese "Osameru" has a same pronunciation but there're 4 meaning. Those meanning are govern, learn,pay and store. When you are talking in Japanese and hear the word "Osameru", you can't know what it means. You have to consider from the context. But in English you don't have to do such a thing like that.
In learning classic Japanese and classic Chinese, these looked like an diffrent language for me. In classic Japanese you have to learn another words for this subject. This annoys me a lot so I don't like classic Japanese. On the other hand classic Chinese wasn't so difficult for me. If I read the sentence in the right order I could understand what the text book want to say. I could read fluently than classic Japanese.
Now I want to write about my experience about English. I start to study english when I was second year of elementary school. The first year was horrible. I couldn't understand what the teacher wants to say. I couldn't even introduce myself to other people. The second year, I could talk to my friends but it was still a prattle english. Though it was enough to communicate with friends. The third year and the fourth year, I have improved enough that I could talk to adults. But when I entered to the middle school, I quit learning english. I didn't have much trouble learning english in middle school. Many student around me had some trouble studying english. I wanted to help them but I couldn't teach it. I was very disappointed. I could solve the questions but I couldn't explain why the answer is going to be so. Especially I couldn't explain the diffrence between was, were, is and are.
I studied Spanish the first time in my life in this university. It was very intersting for me because the words in Spanish were very familiar to English. I could guess the meanning from the spelling even though I don't know the right meaning. Usually it was correct. I could understand the English and Spanish are relatives. There was also a suprising thing that there's a sex in nouns. It was very surprising that in Spanish "manzana" means apple is female and "escriorio" which means desk is male. I couldn't understand why apple is a female and desk is female.

BR 2-01:My best friend's a genius
I read a book about a genius and his friend. The main character Miles is a genius. He can make a fying skateboard, computer-controlled mouse traps and automatic toilet flushers. The automatic toilet flusher has already invented in Japan so I didn't really suprised but I thought the flying skateboard is very awesome. If their is one, it looks like detective Conan.
One day Miles wanted to make a hyper phone. He wanted to communicate with aliens who came to earth. He made that hyperphone within three days. His parent wouldn't buy for him so he made it all by himself. Suddenly a high-pitched squeaky sound came out from the phone. The light turned on and off again. Then the strange squeaky sound turned into words.
I recommend this book because it is one of the most funny book that I have read. If you read this book, I think you will be like it because of the surprising ending. I think you will sure be surprised at the owner of the voice. At least I was surprised at the ending and if their is another story of this series I want to read it.

Essay 2-01b Room in my room
My favorite place is my room. My room is in my grandparents house and live right next to each other so the both house are connected by the hallway. The house is located pn the top of the hill so the scence is not bad. From the window I can see the elementary school which built in front of me. I also can see the route 57 so sometimes, the motercycle gangs are very noisy. And if I see the back of my house, there's a cliff. It not as so deep and not dangerous. There's also a stream and a cowshed. It doesn't smell at all but I sometime hear them mooing very energetic. I can see some calves when I go there in spring. They are very cute.
The exterior of the room is very simple. As I said my room is in my grandparents home so it's an old house. There's only 2 rooms in the second floor. The brothers room and mine. There's also a balcony and the two rooms are connected by it. I's very useful because you can go to the balcony from your own room so I don't have to disturb my brother.The same thing I can say from my grandmother. I think that all that I can explain.There's is no more thing that I can say.
Next, the interior of my room is also simple too. There's a bed, TV, desk, closet, flooring ect. This room used to be my dad's room. When my dad was using this room the room was'nt floored, it was tatami and of course no air-conditioner. So when my grandfather remodel the room for me, my dad was a bit abset.

First Semister's exam begins
The examination for this semister began from last week. I have to study hard so I'm kept awake until early morning. It's get me very exhausted. Last Friday, I had " international society and Japan" and "Listening". Both classes aren't difficult for me it's interesting but the field is very wide for the "Internatinal society and Japan" but I think I did the both exam pretty well.
But today, I had "introduction of english linguistics". This subject is one of the most difficult subject that I take in this semister. This subject's field is also very wide. Even though it's hard to recognize and difficult to study the first half of the text book I still have the secong half of the text book's exam on Thursday. The Professor (probably) will study at Korea so we have to study the whole subject in the first semister. Usually we have to offer an year to study this subject!!(157words)

The World cup ends
Champions of Europe are now a champions of the world. Spain won this championship for the first time. They beated Neatherland at the half end if the extended time. Iniesta's stike helped Spain to be a champion. I wanted Netherland to win, but the Octopus says that the Spain will win. So I changed my mine and wondering which team will win. As he says Spain won!! The Octopus is awsome!! Now he has eight perfect predictions. But in my opinion this Octopus doesn't have any "psychic" knowledge. The octupus's favorite food is Crabs or bivalves which color is red. So I think the octopus didn't predict. He just choosed the national frag that has more red than the other national flag. If you look at the picture, the Spain's natinal flag looks more red than the Germany's natinal flag.(141words)

World cup and Octopus
I haven't seen the world cup for last few days. On the match versus Netherland and Urguay, Netherland won by 3-2. Netherkand is very strong. And Japan play with that strong team. In this world cup, Netherland scores at least 2 points exepts the game versus Japan. Even though ace Robben didn't take part in the game, I think Japan's DF did a great job.
The game versus Spain and Germany, Spain won by 1-0. Germany was very strong at the last game versus Arrgentina so I thought Germany will win. But the octopus name Paulo prophesy that the Spain will win. At first I didn't really believe that but when I knew his record I believed him. He prochesy 6 games and all of them hits. And as you can see, he says that Spain will win and Spain won. On the final game versus Netherland and Spain, the octopus says that Spain will win. I want Netherland to win but octopus says Spain so I'm looking forward to see the game.(173words)

Netherland won by 2-1. Robben who was injured came back to the team and scored. He sank Slovakia. It was the first match for him in this world cup but he did his job early in the game. The another match is a game versus Brazil and Chile. Brazil was very strong. Brazil completed a hat-trick of victories over Chile by beating their South American rivals by 3-0.

Round 16
The coutries that have came to the next stage are Uruguay, Korea, U.S.A, Ghana, Netherland, Slovakia, Brazil, Chile, Argentina, Mexico, Germany, England, Paraguay, Japan, Spain and Portugal.

In this book, it has 5 chapters and each of them shows diffrent stories. These stories aren't related. The first chapter telles a boy who got barried in a falling building. The earthquake had struck on August 17, 1999, at 3:02A.M. The boy's name is Mehmet-eight years old. He has been trapped in a dark space for 3days. While he was trapped, he couldn't eat or water so he grew weak. In the third day, he heard a digging machine above him. He yelled and let the reacue team notice about him. And finally the rescue team came to help him. When he got rescued he lost his parents and his 2sister but he was alive and unhurt.In chapter 2, the story is about Magnitudes. It shows how big the shake is. In biggest earthquake in modern times, the earthquake in Chile,Alaska,Taipei,India and San Fransico. In earthquake in Chile in 1960, tsunami occured and the wave came to far cities as Hawaii and Japan. The speed was fast as an airplane. In Alaska, the shake was too strong that the ground lift about 10meters and 30feets. In India and Taipei, the quake flattened many towns and many people lost their lives. Lastly,2 major quake jolted San Fransico. In 1986 and 1906.In both earthquake claimed many people. Especially, in 1906, the ground moved like a wave in the ocean. Chimney fell and fired spread.

The chapter 3 shows faults in US. US doesn't seem to have a faults but theirs a lot in the east coast and Alaska. Also in this chapter, it shows terms about earthquake. If the fault moves up and down, it calles dip-slip fault. If it slides side by sides, it calles srtike-slip fault. In Japan their're both kinds of fault so it's very scary. In chapter4, it tells us about the researchers. They say that the earthquake is much greater than the risk. Because the earthwuake are impossible to predict. They strike with no warning. Fianally in the last chapter5, it tells us how to fight with fear. Earthquake cause 2 types of shaking. They are called P-waves and S-waves. P-waves, stands for pramary wave. It come in the first place but it's not dangerous. You can feel the shake but it's not strong. Then in few seconds, S-waves come. The second wave is the biggest and the strongest shake. If you feel the P-waves you should hind under the table or something to protect yourself. Even if the S-waves goes by their is still aftershocks that strike after the main quake for few days. The afterquake are usually smaller than the main quake. (453words)

France vs South Africa
Yesterday, there was a game versus France and South Africa. The result were 2-1 and South Africa won! France was the second winner of the last World cup held in Germany. But it was a miserable World cup for France. In this World cup because they couldn't win any game, they couldn't go to the next stage and their team had a terrisble internal trouble. A coach and a player had a major argument and the player were repatriation. The rest of the player boycott the practice as a revenge. Meanwhile, South Africa is going to fall into crisis of exiting the group stage matches. In past World cup, all of the host nation had pasted the group stages. But the South Africa is going to be the first nation which couldn't pass. It's a sad thing for the South African people but I think they can be proud of beating France. (153 words)

Japan lost・・・
Japan lost by 0-1. I expected that Japan will lose but anyway it's pity. But we still have hope. It will depends on the game versus Cameroon and Denmark which starts later. If Cameroon wins that will be a very good news to Japan. The most important thing is the win or lost to the game against Denmark. If Japan wins against Denmark and Cameroon beats Denmark and Netherland, the 3 teams will get a same winning point "6". So it will be a competition between the goal diffrence . If Japan gets draw between Denmark, and Cameroon and Denmark also gets draw and Netherland and Cameroon gets more that a draw Japan can go to the tournament.

My hobbies are to play video games, read comic books and stuff like that. There are simple and very familiar hobbies but there are very fun. In last few days I like to read the comic book “One Piece”. It’s a very popular comic for many peoples, especially to the teenagers. The story is very exciting and it’s very difficult to expect. The writer will mock at the good meaning. (73words)
Music I like
The kind of music I like is J-pop. I like the rhythm and the words of the music. But I don’t borrow or buy the CD to listen. Because I can listen to the popular music during my part time job. I can listen to them until I get bored. So by the time I go to Tyutaya to borrow the CDs I lose interest to the CDs. But I will buy them if I really liked it. (79words)
How I study English
The way how I study English is read, read and read. If you read books or newspapers which are written English, I can know the new words and the new grammar. If you know many words, you can be able to read, speak and write. Even if you don’t know a lot of grammar, you can be still able to communicate. So I don’t worry that much. And there’s one more ability that I can’t develop with reading. The listening. I’ll develop with watching movies, no caption and of course no dubbed into Japanese. (94 words)
Forgein country
If I had a vacation from tomorrow and have a plenty of money, I want to go to Australia.
I want to visit there as a tourist. Not to study English. I chose there because I haven’t been to south hemisphere. I want to feel that the season is reversed. And I also want to feel the nature too. I want to go diving at the Great Barrier Reef and see a lot of sea life in the nature. I think it will be different from looking from the aquarium. (90words)

My favorite movies
I like movies but I won’t go to the theater to watch them. Because I think it is little expensive and troublesome to go to the theater. If you wait for a year it will be shown on the TV. In case you at home, of course you can see it at your home, there’s no one that bothers you, you can relax, you can’t be kicked by the kid behind you and especially it is free!! But I will go to the theater if there’s a movie that I really want to see. And that was the last December. (100words)
About my Keitai
I bought my Keitai 3 years ago. It’s my second keitai that I ever had. 2 years gas passed since I bought it broke down. Suddenly the picture of Keitai broke into 3 quarters and became like a sandstorm. It totally broke down. I took that to the shop and made it fixed. Few days later it came back. The one who charged my Keitai told me that the most important part of the Keitai got destroyed. It was not because I dropped it. It was defective parts. They said it was a miracle that it last 2 years. (99words)

essay 1-02a
I like baseball. I like both playing and watching it. I haven't play baseball in a club. Only at the P.E , lunch breaks and after school with my friends. It was fun but a little bit scary.
I like to watch baseball in the TV. There's 2 leagues in Japan and there are Central league and Pacific league. This year, in the central league, Tokyo Yomiuri Giants is very strong. It's almost going to run alone. In the pacific league, Saitama Seibu Lions, Chiba Lotte Marines and Fukuoka Softbank Hawks are in contention. ⇒ www.npb.or.jp/eng/
Every 3 years there's an international baseball game at the United States. It's like a world cup for the baseball. Last year there was a game and 16 counties that had participated including Japan, United States, Cuba, Dominica, Korea, China and also Italy. Next year, the team that participate will going to increase. I will be happy if baseball will spread to the country that doesn't know it. ⇒ www.worldbaseballclassic.com/
Baseball needs more money to play, compared to soccer. So it's difficult to spread baseball to the area that doesn't have enough money. Soccer only needs a ball, but baseball you need gloves, bats, balls and protector to save from injury. But I hope as soon as the kids in the developing country plays baseball, they'll know how fun to play catch.
I also like to play baseball too. If I play baseball, I will play the second base. I think this is the the best position for me because the ball won't come very often and if it comes, it's not too dangerous. And also it's closest to the first base so I don't have to throw the ball far away. （284 words）
