COSTCO

Yesterday I went to COSTCO in Fukuoka I¥with Narisa, Chonchon-san, Clark, Jonah, Ian, Jordan and Purin-chan in Narisa's car. It was the first time for me to go there. When we got there and entered the store, I was very surprised that everything was too big!!! We had lunch and real pizza was so good! After having lunch, we did shopping. I laughed a lot because exchange students matched the store. lol I couldn't believe that I was in Japan then,. I felt like being in America or Canada. After finishing shopping in COSTCO, we went to UNIQLO and I also laughed a lot. Every time I said "Its so cute!" when I found cute clothes, Clark and Jonah said, "Its cute but useless." How many times did we do the same conversation? lol While going to the dorm, we laughed a lot. Narisa and I didn't know that Ian had a remote so we thought the volume of music was turned up automatically. Everyone was crazy! When we got to the dorm, we had dinner watching the movie. I had a great crazy happy time. Thank you for everyone!

What I'm planning to do today

Good morning everyone. I'm in the writhing class now. It is cool today. I like this weather so much. Today I'm going to the English Lounge at lunch time. I am a staff and I like being there. I like talking with people from other countries. They tell me many funny stories. By the way, I have 4 classes today. The next class is Politics. The teacher talk, talk and talk.haha The third class is Korean. The reason why I started to learn Korean is that exchange students from Korea came to my house to do a home stay in Spring. It was not until I met and became their friends that I became interested in Korean. Now I can speak easy phrases.haha Korean is my third foreign language so I have to learn much harder if I want to speak it fluently. The fourth class is speaking class. Mr Tomei gives us homework every week. Recording is one of the assignment and it is very interesting. I want to improve my English pronunciation by using it. Have a good day.

September 27

I am in the writing class now. i met Mr Lavin after a long time. He explained something new to us. We will be busy from now on but I will try. I can learn many things from him this class. I learn not only to write something in English but also to do something by using a computer. It is very important how well I can use a computer in the future. So I have to listen to him and try. It is very pity that this class is held Monday first period. I live in Yatsushiro and it takes an hour to go to KGU so I have to get up at 6:30 at the latest. I will be careful not to be late for school every Monday. This class is held at the building 14 and the next class is held at the building 4. So I have to move fast with Megumu there from here.haha The next class is politics and the teacher is soooooo kind. If we are late for the class, he won't be angry.haha But we can try not to be late for the class. Today I have 4 classes and have a meeting about the KGU English Lounge at lunch time. Have a good day.

I was weeping after all things finished. The tears had many meanings. I appreciated for other teachers who cheered me up and all of my students. I want to try to join it and get a first prize next year. I have to make more efforts to be a better teacher.

My most favorite firework is senko-hanabi. It is so cute. I like going to summer festival in local. When I was little, I would often try kingyotsuri^^ It is very exciting. I think almost all of the parents who have children have to pay for kingyotsuri. haha I like animals very much so I have bought hiyoko and kept i^^ However I like winter much better than summer. Because there are many insects in summer, for example spider, cockroach like that. When I find it, I always shout with big voice. I should keep my room clean.

TOEFL

I am going to talk about TOEFL. Yesterday I took TOEFL at success foreign language academy. I That was the third time to take it. It was very difficult but I have confidence to get high score at grammar section. Listening section and speaking section are very difficult for me. If I want to get high score, I have to learn about many things like science, environmental problems and so on. I really want to study abroad to improve my English skills so I have to do it much harder from now on too. All the classes of KGU are very useful for me. I can learn not only English but also other field. Mr. Sato often told us that education is opportunity. I think the way to get high score and pass the exam to study abroad is to take all the classes seriously and study TOEFL at home. I need a lot of effort more than before. I will never fail to pass the exam without it. (164 words)

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.
