 My memorable day in my life is on May 6 in 2008. It was my 20th birthday. And I was planning to do some special things on that day, because it’s my 20th birthday, it’s so memorable isn’t it? And on that day I spent morning at home and in the afternoon I received a mail from one of my great friends. And in the mail he supposed to hold my birthday party and he made plan to do it in the night so I decided to go to the dormitory in the night after English conversation school. And when I visited there ,my best friend whose name is Danny K, and some other Korean exchange students was waiting for me.
As a matter of fact, there are a lot of exchange students and I can meet many people there but on that day some people were taking a trip to China and going to another prefecture so there was a few people, but I was happy because my friends remembered
My birth day!!

And they celebrated my birthday so I was much happy because they were the only people who celebrated my birthday.
And we talked a lot and after that, went to karaoke for three hours. It was so fun!
Through this event actually my birthday, I realized the importance of the relationship with my friends and it’s my best memorable birth day ever.
So from now, I wanna get along with them and I wanna keep contact with them regularly.

This weekend

I've been busy for a long time since the beginning of MAY and I had a lot of things to do and I finished almost of the assignments which I should submit. So finally I became relaxed a little. I think it's good and I've not thought the way to spend this weekend. Maybe I'm getting fat these days and actually I often realize it so I wanna get exercise and I wanna swim because I belonged to the water polo club when I was a high school student. So I like swimming and I know swimming is a good way to lose my weight efficiently. So I'm gonna do it and after that I've not hang out with exchange students these days so I'm gonna dormitory and talk with them about a lot of things and enjoy myself. Like this I wanna spend my weekend for a change of air.
I'm really looking forward to it because it has been a long time to playing sport and hanging out with my friends last.
I can't wait this weekend!!
But I have to study for TOEFL test because I’ll take the test on June 14th so I have few days to prepare for the exam, and these days I make a point to study for it little by little everyday but it’s not enough. And I wanna get better score than previous in one way or another so I need to make time to study for the test.
I’ll do it with all my force!! (255words)

First essay (rewrited)

Hi、I'm Keita S and I'm a sophomore of KGU. I major in English. And my hobbies are going to dormitory and hang out with exchange students. And listening to music especially foreign songs and watching movies and playing sports. Of all sports, I like water polo the best. I played this sport when I was a high school student. I continued it. for three years. Let me explain about it. This sport is very hard and it’s unknown to lot of people , but I think water polo is the most exciting sport. Now I don't belong any club but if our university had had a water polo club , I would have belonged to it.


And as for my daily life, I'm busy in everything because I commute to school of English conversation twice a week in order to realize my wish of studying abroad. And because of this school, my speaking and listening levels have progressed I think. I've commuted to the school since July in 2007.


And I also have a part-time job. By the way it's a cram school teacher so I teach students All subjects , English ,mathematics, arithmetic, social studies, science ,Japanese. I think this job is fun because I can realize the development of students through this job.


And I forgot telling my one more hobby, it’s going to karaoke and it’s so nice I can sing many songs as many as I want. And it’s a good way to decrease my stress.


In contrast, I'll ask you some questions. This is a first visit to foreign country for me therefore I don't know about this place so much. But I heard this country has a lot of beautiful places to visit and this country is the cutting edge of fashion and culture. I’m interested in fashion and culture of foreign country so if you have enough time to guide me there, would you take me to the famous place? Above is my simple question.
Nice to meet you.

These days

It's been a long time since I updated my blog last! Because I was really really busy in many things. And these days I'm busy even on weekend because of many assignment and reports, and by the way this week`s weekend was so busy. On friday the day was holiday it's a foundation day of our university and it's also Mr.Tomei's birthday!! I'm sorry for being late to celebrate it.
And anyway ,on that day I received a phone call from police box, but put your mind at ease I didn't do any bad things. It was a report which notice me.

To tell the truth,this year I had my bike stolen in the beginning of the April and I reported to it. And the telephone was about it. And I went the police box and wrote some documents and I saw my broken bike, it was so miserable. The mirror was lost and the number plate was also broken. When I saw my bike for the first time at the police box,I couldn't believe the sight and I couldn't say any words for shock. It was exactly my stole bike I really got depression.
After that I went to the bike shop and bought helmet and lock. I'm gonna buy a new bike because I don't wanna go to school by bus any more. Because it's so inconvenient for me and it's sometimes delayed and on the bus, it was so crowded every morning. And it's much expensive using bus to come to school so that's why.

And as to the next day on Saturday ,I finished the report of Honors English Seminar which is the name of the class which I take.
And from afternoon I went to my part-time job until night and after that I went back to my home and studied a bit.

And the last day on Sunday I was writing some documents about studying abroad and at last just now I finished writing it. It took so long time to complete it.
And come to think of it during this three days I could'nt go out except my part-time job. But this is not a special thing for this week because I couldn't do that as well.
So this year I'll busier than I expect. But I can't help being busy this year.

And tomorrow exactly today I have four classes from 1st period to 4th period and after that part time job, I think I need a day off to relax, any way I'm so sleepy so I'm gonna go to bed right night. Bye!

Too busy my daily life!

I'm very very very busy in everything every day!! Because I have a lot of things to do for instance, assignments and reports for some subjects and English conversation school and study for TOEFL test and my part-time. It's too much! I don't know what should I do first and what should I highly think of. And I don't have enough time to sleep or I've not slept at all for a few days. So these days I'm so sleepy in classes.

And Add to these things, I have something which I often think about.
Directly speaking, it's about studying abroad, because I've thought that I want to study abroad. But these days I think what do I wanna do in New Zealand? And Should I go there as a exchange student for one year? And I worried about these things,
but I really think that I wanna study abroad as a exchange student during this student life because I'm interested in NZ culture、industry, history, people life style there.

And once NZ was a colony of British so now they speak British English which is famous for its strong accent and speaking speed. I also think its accent is so strong and sometimes when one of my friends who is from NZ speak to me in English. I think the spoken English in NZ is influenced by England I think. And its culture and industry are so fascinating for me and it has Maori culture there and as to the industry, it has developed mainly first sector but in contrast with this, Japan has developed third sector so I'm also interested in the difference between these countries. And I have things which I wanna do for example what customs are there in NZ? Or how is New Zealander spend every day? and so on. I often visit dormitory of exchange students especially who is from NZ and talk and ask his hometown and culture and life style but I that I can't understand well just only listening to his talk so I wanna go there actually and spend a year and make friends and I wanna know about the country New Zealand much more!

Answering following questions

1. I've organized sidebar and I've visited all the class members' blog. And I felt some people often update their blog, writing diary and posting essay and uploading movie especially about music which they love, and some people don't update so often.

2. I've not labeled all the book reviews yet, and as to essays I finished submitting them however, I've not posted them on my blog because we can't do the work at home, do you know the meaning? In short, we can go into gakunai-shishobako only when we at school so we can't go into it when we at home so when I don't have enough time to use computer at school, I can't do it.

3. I captured picture and video, and the picture is for representating book review what kind of books did I read. And the video is for writing about it as a topic.

4. I think best post is the one which composition is well done and include good explanation and capture image or video properly to see it easier.

5. I think 'Love or Money'. This is the title which I want to recommend to someone who likes detective story, because this book was written on detective and murderer and as you read the book, you have to investigate the criminal of this case. And this book is written in plain English and the level is YL 2.0 so it's quite easy I think.

6. I think the good points of this writing class is what we have to write and use English and doing some assignment using English forcibly because we don't do such a perplexing work by ourselves but if we neglect writing, posting, submitting essays, we can't get credit, and nobody don't do them. I mean all the students who take this class have to use English. And we have some goals to achieve and we have to write blog and post and submit essays so it's good practice to do it I think.


And in contrast the bad point of this writing class is what we must do a lot of homework and there is a limit. I think I don't know other writing class but writing at three times a week is so hard for us because we are sophomore and we take many required subject and on each subject we have homework to do and we're busy in doing them and of course me. And incidentally this week is so hard and busy because I have one home work which I should do and it's for speaking class and by weekend I have to finish watching movie whose name is bowling for columbine and I have to read The Great Gatsby until chapter3. As to these movie and book assignment, all the people who take Honors English Seninar 3 have to do them.
And I have to go to my part-time job four times a week after school till night and two another day per a week I have to go to English conversation school and the TOEFL test is coming soon so I have to study for it.
And add to these things I have to do writing assignment three times a week, I think every day is terribly busy.
And My friend told me that he doesn't have his own personal computer so he have to go to school to finish the assignment even though it's weekend or holiday, after hearing this, I thought I'm sorry for him.

6. As of now, I've done all the weekly typing homework and I think this writing class's assignment is too much. I have some assignments in each week except this class so I have to find time to do it and I'm trying to finish in one way or another but sometimes I can't help myself. So I'm in trouble.

extra. I always attend your writing class and I'm concentrating what you are saying but sometimes I miss your words in short, so sometimes I don't know what you said. So when there is a homework or important news I want you to speak them in Japanese. I think no one can listen to your English perfectly I think and actually I was asked some question by my friends about what you said in the class so please think about it. (755 words)

How to spend my weekend!!

In weekend, I wanna do the special things which I never do. So usually I hang out with my friends or visiting dormitory and talk with exchange students and playing sports with them or going downtown and go shopping and buy something, and sometimes I go to TUTAYA and rent some foreign CD and funny comedy DVD like VIVA LA VAM or JACKASS. These two DVDs are so funny and they always make me happy and fine and burst into laughter. In short, it's a stunt movie and they usually play funny things and sometimes dangerous things I've never seen.
And these days I began to swim in the swimming pool because I'm getting fat so I have to lose my weight. Because I feel sluggish and I feel tired these days because of my heavy weight.

And swimming is my practice for me on weekend and playing sport also helps reduce stress I think.

And when I have home work I should do , I finish it.
And this is my how to spend weekend but today exactly yesterday I didn't any thing except going out to buy carnations.

Because it was mother's day so I bought carnations and gave them to my mother.
They were so beautiful, pink and red and other kinds of flower.
So we decorated them on the front door. It smells well!!
It's a annual event through a year so it's ok I think.

And as a matter of fact ,I have to study for TOEFL test in my free time because I'm planning to take the test on June at school so I should study and get higher score before but these days my motivation for the test is much low and I don't know the reason. I have a lot of worries about everything so that's the reason I think but I'll work on the things which I can do now little by little.
