April 27th to 29th
April 27thToday was Erika, Hiromi and Yoppie’s birthday!!! I thought it was likely to rain but it was sunny :) I went to driving school in the morning and went to KGU in the afternoon. Narisa gave me a guidebook for studying abroad. I wanted to go to Carleton University to study English and French as a second language. However there is no subject I want to learn except French X( I can’t learn French but there are a lot of subject I want to learn at Saint Mary’s University. Which University do you think I should go?
April 28thToday was Naoto's birthday! He is one of my friends and he is always crazy for soccer^^
I went to building 14 in the morning to do speaking group work with Eri. Yukimi and SakiyamaP. Mr.Tomei taught me how to make answer sheets! I could finish make 30 questions and answer sheets :) After that, Eri and I went to the English Lounge because Kumamoto Prefecture University’s staff came there with Rick. They plans to establish something like the KGU English Lounge. I think it is very good!
Robert asked us whether we can go to camp in Yatani-Keikoku or not but we answered NO. Because we already have each plans. I wanted to go there but it was late that he asked us X( They asked us how to get there so Narisa and I researched it but we couldn’t. So I called Ecchan because she lived in Yamaga for a long time. Unfortunately, she said to me, “There is no train and if you take a bus, you have to walk for 2 or 3 hours. Maybe you cannot use your cell phone because Yatani is surrounded by many high trees.” And I told exchange students that in English as she told me and they were disappointed and said NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! haha
I will take the exam to study abroad but I haven’t decided which university I should go to yet so I asked exchange students. However they like their each universities the best and said to me, ”If you come to my university, I can take you anywhere you want to go and help you with your homework! So come on!” I think all of the universities are good for me so the most important thing is that what I want to do the best.
April 29th

I like listening class very much! My listening teacher speaks British English but we are used to catching what he says^^
Yui and I finished a presentation at the fifth period so we were relieved. My teacher said, ”I don’t care that you guys sleep because I know that it is impossible to wake up when you are sleepy. So if you are sleepy, please do that^^” I thought he is god. haha Misato was sleeping in front of me while he talked it. haha

I worked a part time a whole day!!!! I was sooooooo tired but I love my students very much! It needs a lot of energy to teach students something but they always give me a lot of energy^^ I work this part time job for not only students but also myself. It was not until I worked there that I found it is difficult and interesting to teach. I want to continue this part time job until I graduate from KGU!

April 2ndI went to cram school in the morning and taught my students for 90 minutes. After that, I met Erika who is one of my junior high school basketball teammates. I met her for the first time in 8 months. We went to JUSCO and had lunch, talking about many things. Of course we took prikura^^ After that, we went to karaoke and enjoyed singing! She went to my house after a long time and met my mother and my sister. Surprisingly she gave me a birthday present! I was very happy :) We can’t see easily but I think if we want to see each other, we can see^^ haha
I said good-bye to her, I came back to cram school again and taught my students English, Math and so on. I was very tired but I had a very great day!

Once upon a time, there was a dragon, a phoenix and very, very special pebble...
I felt this story very wonderful. I was interested that the characters are special animals like the dragon and the phoenix. The dragon and the phoenix were good friends because they watched the pebble together every day.

My part time job
I work at cram school. first, I started this job to make money but now I like students very mach. I teach them english , math and so on. It is very hard to teach them. Sometimes I have to study something at home in advance. However it is very good for me to teach students and talk with them. It was not until I started this part time job that I found my teachers are very good and very hard. There are many students and of course they have different personality. So I have to change my attitude for my students. I sometimes want to work a different kind of job because I think it is important to have many experience. I want to continue this part time job until I graduate Kumamoto Gakuen University.

Retold by Conrad Mason
Illustrated by Mike and Carl Gordon
This is a story about a kind man, a golden goose and a very sad princess. There were three men who were a woodcutter’s sons. The third brother who is Billy was kind but the others weren’t. One day he was kind to a little old man. After that, he chopped a tree and a golden goose appeared! People around him wanted the golden goose and surprisingly they clung to it and lined up. A princess who had never laughed saw it and first laughed. She and her father appreciated and she married him.
I think if you are kind to someone, it will always come back to you. It is not important for everyone to be handsome, beautiful, strong and so on. Having a king heart makes you happy.
