The Last Writing Ⅳ Test

1. What I learned in Writing class

I learned a lot of things in Writing Ⅳ in this semester. It was not only about writing but also how important using information and keeps trying something. I went to New Zealand in last summer vacation for a month, so I have no time to keep blogging. I wanted to keep writing English, so I tried to write on my diary. I had a lot of interesting things to write in my homestay days, so it was nice idea for me.


After I went back to Japan, I typed compositions in my diary on my blog. Then my speed of typing English built up because I typed many writings. It was good opportunity to speed up typing. At the start of this writing class, I couldn’t type English quickly because I didn’t use computer so often, so it was also good time to know how to use computer functions. That is why I felt it’s important to keep trying something.


I also learned how important using information. As far as using internet, we see so much information including personal information. I use my pictures on my blog, so I have to beware of using these. It’s difficult to use information because I have to have eyes which can ascertain the truth. And also I felt it’s difficult to use computer because sometimes it doesn’t work or I didn’t know how to use the function.


2. What I still need to learn to improve your own writing

I think it’s important to keep writing English in order to improve my writing skill. Actually, I don’t have much skill of grammar, however, I think I need to keep writing in using my words and my own thinking. Having my own idea or thinking is very important when I write, so I won’t use information on internet as possible as I can.

Also I’ll try to reading more English because I don’t know much style. I want to know more English writing style, and I want to practice more. And I think I have to memorize more English vocabulary because I can’t write without words and some knowledge. I’ll keep on writing my English diary after finishing writing class. It was great experience to participate with this class.

My winter vacation

Hellooooo!!
Long time no see:) lol

How was your short winter vacation? Did you enjoy it? I'll talk about my winter vacation, today.
I went to Kumamoto city with my boyfriend at Christmas Day. That day was his birthday.
We went there in the morning and enjoyed shopping. There were so many people. X(
We looked for each favorite purse for Christmas present, but it was too difficult because there were a lot of cute and cool purses! I wanted all purses!! HAHA

Then we found favorite one, and presented these each other.
My purse is long and the color is cute pink! X) Look!!
It's sooo cute, isn't it?

After that, we went to Saishunkan-seiyaku to watch beautiful illumination! Actually, we went there before, but we wanted to go there again, so we hurried. Surprisingly, my boyfriend made them!!.....well, I mean, he helped making them as his part-time job. So I took pictures:)

That was sooooo wonderful day!!

Thank you.\(^o^)/ <3 <3

My Future Plan

Hello, I'll talk about my future events.
About two weeks later, we have to take fall semester's exam. I have to take about 10 exam, so I'm going to study them from now. I think fall semester's classes were difficult, so I can't find out the way to study them. However, I'll try to do it as possible as I can!

I'm looking forward to coming spring vacation because there is for about two months!! I planed to go to Tokyo to see my cousin. And also I planed to go Tokyo Disney Resort with my boyfriend for three days. These are my pleasures now.

However, I have to study English more because I didn't study in fall semester. I'll try to study and improve my English skills more!

1.2. Best Essay

Selection and Assessment: Which of those six assigned essays do you feel is the best that you've written this semester, and why? Remember that a complete answer is better than a short answer, focus on your writing, and give at least two reasons to support your assessment.
  • I think my best essay is "Mr. Doubtfire" movie essay(MR2-01: Mr. Doubtfire ~Family love is forever~) because it contains some pictures and also media and link, so it reminds us how this story is. Besides, I told about my opinions through this movie, so reader can find my thought. I didn't write outline of this movie because I wanted people to know my thought more than the outline. Then I divided a piece of writing into paragraphs included each topics I wanted to tell, so I think it's easy to see.

* Current semester comments on essays and other posts
** Please list the most important qualities of comments on each type of blog post. That is, explain briefly what makes them good comments.

2.5. Recent comments display

Does your blog display recent comments from blog visitors in a prominent location, for example, in a sidebar, header, or footer widget? Where, or why not? Please explain.
  • I put a recent comments display on head of a sidebar because I can find new comment at once and reply to it immediately.

2.6. Additional reflections on comments

  • I think giving and receiving comments are very good way to communicate with other people because it's easy to do and it sometimes cheer up people. I was really glad when I posted a blog post and then my friend replied a comment for it. Since then, I became even more conscious of that people look at my blog, so I became aim to write more interesting posts.

3.2. Best Book Review

Selection and Assessment: Which of those book reviews do you feel is the best that you've written this semester, and why? Remember that a complete answer is better than a short answer, focus on your writing, and give at least two reasons to support your assessment.
  • I think BR2-08: Rescue! is my best book review because it contains my opinion. It has not many words but it has a most impotant point I thought. Besides, I didn't write the outline a lot. Actually, this book is short story, so I tryied to think some ideas from this story topic. Then I changed the color of sentences which I'd like to enphasize. This is also a good point that it contained a photograph of this book.
