About my high school days

I have many memories of high school days. Especially, school club and homesty in Australia are the best unforgettable for me.
I belonged to Japanese Drum club. It is a one of japanese traditional music. We performanced it in many places. For example, Kumamoto castle, opening ceremony, "Hinokuni festival", other some summer festival and so on. So, we practiced every day. After our performance end, some audience cry. We had a very good time in there. I think that I want to continue it, but we don't have enogh time to practice now. Someday, I want to play the Japanese drum with same member.

I took part in homestay program in Ausralia. I was looking forward to this from I entered high school. My high school has a sister school in Australia, so applicant can take part in this homestay program. I could experience many things, not only good things also bad things. But, I had a great time in there. We went shopping and surfing in Gold Coast where is mecca of surfing and so on. In school, we learn not only English but also Australian culture. I was interested in aborigine's culture.
It was difficult to communicate with host family and friends in English. I thought that I want to communicate with fluent English someday, so I decided to study English more hard in university.

English web site review

I checked two English web sites. First are Anne Hathaway’s backgrounds and her history and so on. Next is New Year’s Day’s many things. 　


At first is Anne Hathaway. She is actress. I like her very much because she acts on my favorite movie. That is “The Devil Wears PRADA”. This movie shows one woman’s success story. After I watch this movie, I can feel drive for something. So, I decided to check Anne’s t things on web site.

She was born in 12 November 1982 so she is 27 years old. And she was born in Brooklyn, New York, USA. When I read this, I felt that Anne is very urban people. Because she is from New York!! It’s so cool.
Her father is lawyer and mother is stage actress Kate McCauley Hathaway. I thought that Anne grew up looking her mother, so Anne became actress. And I thought her family is very rich.
She said her trade mark is smile. I think so too. Her smile is so nice. We can see that on her movie and so on.

Another her famous movie is “The Princess Diaries”. I watched this movie too. I thought that this movie’s Anne is very cute!! But I like “The Devil Wears PRADA”. This movie’s Anne is very cool and fashionable.

Next is about New Year’s Day. After I watched the websites, I could know many things about New Year’s Day. I knew very interesting things!!

First I knew that some tradition of New Year’s Day. First is making resolution. This tradition dates back to the early Babylonians. For example, popular modern resolutions are promising to lose weight or quitting smoking. But, the early Babylonian’s most popular resolution was to return borrowed farm equipment. Next tradition is the tournament of Roses Parade. This tradition dates back to 1886. In that year, the member of the Valley Hunt Club decollated their carriages with flowers. It celebrates the ripening of the orange crop in California.

And I knew the song “Auld Lang Syne”. This song is sung at the stroke of midnight in almost every English speaking country. And Robert Burns wrote this song in the 1700’s. “Auld Lang Syne” means “old long ago” or “the good old days”. I didn’t know this song and listen, so I am very interesting in this song!!


I could know many things about Anne Hathaway and New Year’s Day. It was little hard for me to understand English web sites. But I could barely know it.
