English weekend party

On November 2, English weekend party was hold. Stuffs of English weekend joined. I was looking forward to joining. We went to Kuronekoyama. I have been there once. Its foods were good, but then my cheek swelled a lot, so I couldn’t eat much. Anyway, Yuhei-san’s birthday was close. We planed a surprise birthday party for him, so we bought a cake to celebrate him, but Uno-san made a mistake. She sent a message which is about secret birthday plan to us and Yuhei-san, so he already knew. Although he already knew, he was surprised. I thought he is loved by everyone, so I envy him. I thought I want to be like him. He said us “thanks”. His word made us happy. After that we went to Jeff’s bar, but Jeff wasn’t. We were in there for 30 minutes. Some people went to home, and other people went to Yuji-san’s house. I also went to his house. Finally, four people went. Before we had arrived there, we bought some beers. Although we drank in Kuronekoyama, we also drank in his room. I drank so much. I always wrote “I drank so much.”, but it is true. Recently, I often drink, so my stomach is bad. Please help me. I try to cut back on.

Nabe party

I was invited to join Nabe party by Yoshi-san who is my senior at university. Of course, I joined it. It was done in Yoshi-san’s room. Six people joined, including Yoshi-san. Surprisingly, they all were 4 grades, so I was the youngest in this group. I thought I’m a happy man, because I have many friends who invite me something. We ate kimchi nabe. There were many foods, but it was less for six men. Its tastes were so good. I wanted to eat more. After that we drank. Do you know Kings Cup? It is card game to drink. I didn’t know, so Yoshi-san taught me how to play. It was hard. I was drunk too much, so I slept soon. I forget this rule, but if you are interested in it, you try to search, but you shouldn’t play. When I got up, some people went back to home, because they had a part time job. I got up at 4:00 am, but other three awoke yet and new person was in room. He is also a senior. I talked with them about our future and something. They already have dreams, so I worried, but their stories were good for me. I want to decide my dream as soon as possible. We slept at 6:00 am, but I had an exam from this morning, so I hardly slept. Although I took it, my condition was so bad. I was so sleepy, but this is memory for me. I had a good time.

Takuma festivsl 3

I’ll talk about Takuma festival final day. I was very sleepy, because I had gone to bed at 4:00 a.m. yesterday and I had got up about 7 clocks. As I drunk with member of Djambe, I hardly slept. This day, my friends danced on the happy stage. First, Taku and Aoi danced. Its genre was jazz and hip-hop. It was so beautiful. Next, Kazuma danced. Its genre was hip-hop. I have watched his dance once, but no matter how many times I think his dance was cool. I want him to teach me how to dance. The first, Komu-san danced. She is my senior at university. I don’t know which genre she danced, but her dance was also good. After this event finished, we went to the ground to splash beer on each other. Have you ever splashed beer on each other? It was so fun, but I felt cold. As we got the highest award, we got moving. After that we went to downtown to drink. I drank so much because everyone let me drink, so I was a drunken. I slept most of second party. Although I paid 2000 yen for second party, I hardly drank, so I lost money, but main party was so good. I made good memories with member of club. By the way, do you know Hero-umi? We drank there. Their mood and food were so good. I also like the stuffs, because they had a lot of energy. I thought I want to work at such a shop. It costs about 4000 yen. It is expensive for me. Maybe you think it is expensive, but you should go there once. I’m sure that you take a fancy.

Takuma festivsl2

I’ll talk about Takuma festival on the second day. I played Djambe on the happy stage. I have practiced for two month with my seniors at university. One of them invited me to join it. At first, I couldn’t make up my mind, because it cost some money and I was busy because of my part time job. When I refused it, my friends said “you should make many memories with them. They are four grades, so you can’t do it forever.” When I heard, I decided to join it. After that, I practiced as much as possible. Although we had some rehearsals, we were so nervous in front of audience. I always thought that can I do it? There were many people in front of stage and some my friends came to watch. As show started, I settled down. We had a solo, so when I played a solo, I was nervous, but I thought I could fell successful. It was so fun. I want to play again. Kumamoto university students and Souzyou university students helped us. Their performances were so good. After our show finished, we went to Kumamoto university, because they was going to played it there after our show helped. Their show was so cool and good. They looked fun. After that, I watched a dance show. I had free time and I was interested in dance, so I watched. It was great. I wanted to dance. Maybe I will go to a dance school. Please teach me dance. After it finished, we went to the bar. We drank with them. I had too alcohols, so I gave them a hard. I’m so sorry. Anyway I had a treasure time with them.

Reading class

I take reading class. We must make News Quiz. It is that we read English newspaper and make 10 quizzes from them. It takes a long times to make it, so it is so tired, but I think it does a lot of good, because I can know on top of current news and events and it is useful for my future. Also to read English newspaper can improve my reading skills. At first I can’t understand meaning of headlines, because it often cuts the verbs which are is, are, were, and was and so on, so I don’t find verb and can’t understand, but while we took reading class, we learn how to read English newspaper, so I can read more than I used to be. And I like Mr. Kamimoto. He is so funny, because he often cracks some jokes. Sometimes it is not good. haha But I like his character.
Anyway, just now I finished news quiz, so I’m happy. Today’s weather is good. I want to go somewhere with my friends. Someone invites me to hang out.

She said If I was a traveler, I would go to Turkey firstly, because her father recommended that she goes to Turkey, but he have never gone there. I heard that and I was interested in. She wants to be a Japanese teacher, so she also takes some classes that need to be a Japanese teacher. She never wants to be a comedian, because she doesn’t want to do a penalty game. It looks hard.

Essay 2-02b: Memories of English

I have a lot of memories about English, so I want to talk about English. I have learned English since junior high school. Most Japanese students also have learned since junior high school. When I was a junior high school student, I didn’t like English, but now I like it. I will introduce how I did like English and what I got by learning English.


First, when I was a junior high school student, I wasn’t good at English. I didn’t like to study English, because English is difficult for me. I didn’t like English. Especially I dislike the reading, because I have a few vocabularies, so I couldn’t read. The tests were always low so I always got into a row by my parents. Learning English was bored for me.


When I was a high school student, I became interested in English, because my favorite teacher teaches English. When I took her first class, she said us “I want you to like English. If you dislike it, I want you to like even a little.” As I disliked it, I was interested in her remark. She often showed us foreign animations. It was fun. She contrived ways to teach us English to like English, so I like English, but I’m not good at.


When I was in junior high school, I hardly communicated with ALT and talked to foreign people till then. However I could communicate with ALT deeply in high school, because she gave me many opportunities to talk with ALT outside of classes. I could know pleasantness that I talked to foreign people by her. That’s why I decided to go to Anglo American department.


The last, I’ll talk about KGU. I’m learning English now in KGU. In KGU, it splits English into five articles. It is listening, reading, writing, speaking, grammar. It is so hard for me. But most teachers are native, so it is good for me. And I could meet some exchange students in KGU. They are my friends now. I always try to talk to them. When I talk with them, I often talk about our classes and the drinking plans. I learn English by doing so.

This spring vacation I went to Canada to learn English for a month. I had some troubles, which I couldn't get through to Canadian. So I broke down many times in Canada, but it was a good experience for me, because I could meet many people and my English skills improved by going Canada. As a result, I can communicate than I used to be. So I like English more. I want to go back to Canada, because I want to improve more. But I don’t have much money, so if I go somewhere, I will go to Philippines, because their cost is so cheap and I can learn English.


If I had to choose another language, I would choose Korean, because I have some Korean friends whom I met in Canada and this University, I want to talk with them in Korean and if I said some wrong things, they would point it, so my skills will improve easily.


As you can see, I could get many foreign friends. I want to communicate with foreign people more. So I need to learn English more. It is not only English. Learning language is not only communicated with someone, but also get some thing. It is very important. I think I will learn English for years to come.

I thought I'm going to drink much, but I couldn't, because we had to take care of someone who was a drunk. Many people were drunk, so it was so tired for us. I slept at 4:00 am. I was so sleepy.
The last day, we went to fruits picking near Kinpou Mountain. We picked Nashi and orange. It was so sweet and big, so I was full stomach. After we picked it, we went back to university. English Weekend was so fun. I had good time with stuffs. I decided to be a stuff of English Weekend next year. I want to make many memories with my friend through it. And I will write details.
