Essay 2-03b:Language learning stories

It is very difficult to study languages, when I do I can know the country’s many things. For example, I have studied four languages: English, Chinese, French and Korean. It is very difficult to study languages but I can know the country's many things. First I will explain when and how I’ve learned English, then the other languages I’ve studied.


First, I want to write about English. When I was elementary school, I studied English first time in "Kumon". From then, I am interested in English. And I thought that I want to use English in my future job. So, I choosed Hitsuyukan high school because threre is international course in the high school. In there, we could study English more hard. And I went to Australia when I was secound grade. In there, I had to use English all the day. It's very difficult for me to comunicate with people by English. In there, I knew that I don't have enough skills to comunicate with people by English. I decided to study English more hard. But, I could learn not only English but also australian culture. These were very interesting things. So, I wanted to know foreign cultures more. For that, I thought that I have to study English more hard. And now, in university I study English. I can't use English very well yet. But I don't never give up!!


Second, I want to write about Chinese. When I was second grade of high school, I had to choose taking a class of Chinese or current English. I chose Chinese class because I was interested in China. I liked this lesson very much. It was little easy to study Chinese because Chinese people use Kanji too and similar to English's grammar. Kanji is saying Chinese character in English. But it was hard to pronounce Chinese. Our teacher was very good at speaking Chinese and he taught us many things about China. When he was a university student, he went to China to study Chinese. So he knew many things about China. I really liked to hear his talk. I thought that I would like to visit China too. In the future I want to study Chinese again.


Next, I want to write about French. When I entered KGU, I had to choose second language. I chose French because I thought that French is very cool. However, this idea was mistake for me. It was very difficult for me to study French. French grammar and words were all difficult. But I could get credits of French.


Korean is the fourth language that I’ve learned. When I was junior high school, I liked to watch Korean drama and movie. I watched many dramas and movies with my mother. So I was really interested in Korean and wanted to study Korean. But, I didn't have chance to study Korean. This year, I got a chance to study Korean. I took a Korean class. It's very interesting but little difficult. Korean is similar to Japanese because Korean and Japanese are same grammar and sometime there are same phrases. Our teacher is very funny. He is Korean but his Japanese is very well. I decided that I want to speak foreign language like him.


I have studied four languages. Though, I don't speak these languages well. So, I have to study more hard. And some day, I want to have enough skills to communicate with foreign people.

Movie review★

I watched "Lilo & Stitch". This story was warm family story. The girl, Lilo live in Hawaii with her older sister, Nani because their parents died when they were young. Lilo has little different her sense of value, so she can’t make friends. Every day, she listen Elvis Presley’s CD alone. For such a Lilo, her sister decided to buy a pet. Lilo found a strange puppy. She was very happy because she could make a friend first time. This puppy was named “Stitch”. But, this puppy was made for experiment of gene and this is meant to destruction. But, he became member of lilo’s family and he was taught tender heart by Lilo.

First, I write about friendship in this movie. Lilo could not make a good friendship with people, because she has different sense. Her older sister knows about it and she decides to buy a pet. That is Stitch. Lilo and Stitch are able to be a friend. Lilo is able to learn many things from Stitch. For example, that is importance family, friend and so on.

In my real life, I have many friends, so I don't feel lonely and can't understand Lilo's feeling. But, I have many bad memories of friend. For example, I often had a quarrel with my friends over little things. Now I remembered, I can think that it was fun, so these memories are one of my good memories.

Second, I write about family in this movie. Lilo's family is only her older sister because their parents passed away when they are little. So, she often feels lonely. So, her older sister decided to give Lilo a pet. Then, Lilo and Stitch could become not only friend but also family.

I have four people in my family. That is my father, mother older brother and me. My older brother is 8 years older than me, so I don't often talk with him. When I was little, I often played and talked with him. Now, I feel lonely a little. But, I don't know that I should.

From I watched this movie I thought many things of my family, friend and it is important to love people around us. But it is little hard for us because we sometimes can't say obedient things. For example it is "Thank you", "I'm sorry" and so on. But, I think these are most important things, so I endeavor to say these things from now on.

My University life★

There are many universities and faculties in Japan, so we can study what we want to know and interesting things. For example, foreign language, nursing, teaching, and so on.

Now, there are many English classes in university. For example, it is reading, speaking, writing, listening, and so on. These four skills are very important for study English. In these, I am especially poor at listening and speaking skills, so I recently watch foreign movies and speak with overseas students in English as often as possible. Someday, I want to be able to communicate with many country’s people and realize my dream to become a flight attendant.



My friend studies nursing in university because she want to be a nurse and do a volunteer in foreign country in the future. She studies not only nursing but also biology, chemistry, mathematic and so on. She looks so hard very much because there are many things that they have to memorize.


Also, there are university students who study other things. For example, some people study economics. They study about finance and bookkeeping and do on. Most of these students aim to be a bank clerk and officer in the future. Other, some people study music. Most of these students aim to be a famous musician. For this, they study music very hard in university every day.

5 best suggestions★

Plan to fallow Light’s advice to "use more different words" (Light,2009.07.08), because that I wrote only easy words, so my brog was very simple.

Mnami also had a good idea "to make more comment on my friend's blog" (Panda, 2009.07.15 ), because I didn't make comments on my friend's blog.

Tomoko also had a good idea "to write blogs everyday "(Tomoko, 2009.07.08 ) because I didn't write my blogs, so I wrote my blog in haste in end of semester.

Yumi also had a good idea " paste a lot of pictures " (Yumi, 2009.07.08 ), because picture is very fun.

Saki also had a good idea "include other media and links on our blogs" (SAKI BLOG, 2009/07/22), because I don't know how to include other media and links on my blog, so I will give a advise to my friends. I think it is more interesting than not to do.

Essay 1-02b:University Life

There are many universities and faculties in Japan, so we can study what we want to know and interesting things. For example, it is foreign language, nursing, teaching, and so on.


I study English in Kumamoto Gakuen University, because I want to be a flight attendant in the future. The job of flight attendant needs English very much because they have to communicate with many country’s people. I thought that I will major in English in university. Now, there are many English classes in university. For example, it is reading, speaking, writing, listening, and so on. These four skills are very important for study English. In these, I am especially poor at listening and speaking skills, so I recently watch foreign movies and speak with overseas students in English as often as possible. Someday, I want to be able to communicate with many country’s people and realize my dream to become a flight attendant.


My friend studies nursing in university because she want to be a nurse and do a volunteer in foreign country in the future. She studies not only nursing but also biology, chemistry, mathematic and so on. She looks so hard very much because there are many things that they have to memorize.


Also, there are university students who study other things. For example, some people study economics. They study about finance and bookkeeping and do on. Most of these students aim to be a bank clerk and officer in the future. Other, some people study music. Most of these students aim to be a famous musician.


For this, they study music very hard in university every day.Like this, there are many faculties, so we can choose a faculty that we want to study and interesting thing. And we can aim to realize our dream, so we are lucky!!
