My favorite animal

My favorite animal is panda. But there is no panda in Japan any more because these days a panda whose name is Rin-Rin died.　But I knew the fact that only in Ueno zoo in Japan there is a panda. I was thinking that there are panda in each zoo and I could see them anywhere, but I realized that I was misunderstanding about it. So there is no panda in Japan now so the prime minister Yasuo Fukuda considered whether we should import panda from China to Japan or not. I think we should do it because it fascinates a lot of visitors to the zoo and there are a lot of fun of it. And It has a high popularity among

young people especially among young women or a little boys or girls.
But I think panda is cute and has a popularity among them but sometimes it does bad things because I've seen the scene on the TV program that it attacked the visitors from the cage. When I watched this news, I didn't know the panda attacked the man as a joke or did it seriously.

I felt the terror for the first time for panda. But the victim of this event seemed all right, because the people around him helped and managed to help him so the man didn't hurt fortunately.
I think panda has the both side of cuteness and terror, but it is basically safe.And I would like to see panda in Kumamoto.

And in Kumamoto there is only one zoo as far as I know and I wanna see pandas there but I can't do that unfortunately. So if I wanna see pandas, I have to go to the another prefecture to see them.

I think panda is one of the fascinating animal so if pandas come to Kumamoto, the number of visitors to zoo will increase. So I would like to expect

Speech contest

The other day, from afternoon I went to Gakuseikaikan 4F and saw speech contest. I had heard that exchange students will attend the contest so I was really looking forward to it. And Brendan, Danny Jina Candan Chris were there and they were supposed to attend it and other exchange students were there to listen to them.
I was really looking forward to it because I wanted to know what exchange students think and how they feel about their daily life.
And I had listened to one of the people who attend it before.
They were speaking Japanese frequently so when I listened to their speech,I was really surprised.

Because their speeches were beyond my imagination and I didn't know they could speak Japanese so frequently and the contents of their speeches were full.
I was glad to hear that because each person were making efforts to do their best.
And I could understand how they feel and think about daily life.
And I attended English speech contest as well and I was so nervous so I understood their feelings during the contest. And when I attend this English speech contest, exchange students could come and listened to my speech. I was so glad.
And this time I was a listener.

I think this speech contest is a good opportunity to realize level how much could I speak and how much could I express myself and so on.

So I'm planning to attend this year's English contest and of course I'll aim for the first prize because I missed it last year so I'll prepare enough and I wanna get it.

interview

On June 11,I took an interview of studying abroad. I was so nervous, but I had practiced many times about it. And On that day from morning, I was just thinking about it and at the interview, we took it by three people. I had known one person already but I didn't know the other. And on that day before just 10 or 15 minutes the interview we found who she was the one more person. By the way I was supposed to take the interview with elder person who is junior what is called, she is a third grade student and fortunately we had known each other already so we thought and predicted what questions will be asked. And on that day we found who is the person who took the interview with us.It was my one of my friend Ai. She wanted New Zealand as well.so we three people were wanted NZ as a place of studying abroad.
So in the meaning, we were rival each other.
And at last the test has begun. First we introduced ourselves each other and told the purpose of studying abroad. I think I could answer frequently and I could tell what I thought, my idea.
I felt the interview was too short. I was so nervous but I satisfied with my responds. So I finished my test but I cant feel relief because I have more tests which I have to take.
It was Japanese interview test and writing essay its a kind of report?
So I need to practice about these things to success.
I'll do my best and I`ll pass all the ryugaku tests in one way or another and achieve my goals!!!
