My memorable music

This is my memorable music of home stay in Australia when I was a junior school student.
It's one of my favorite music and it's easy to get into this rhythm, so I love this song.
My first listen is about six years ago, but I remember very clearly. In my home stay, my friends of Australia dancing with this music and they were really into it right. When I listen to this, I am steeped in my memory. She is Christina Milian and she is very cute, isn't it?? And the music title is " When you look at me". Now, shall we listen to this song?

My other classes

There are many my other classes. I study other basic English like reading, speaking and listening. And I study the European history, closs-culture comunication, English philology and study of training in abroad. They are all interesting for me because my vision will be widened and will grow in knowledge. Also I take a class of Honors Seminar English and it is very hard for me because the level is high and I watch movies and read newspaper and book and then, I have to write essays. I thought it is important to have my own thinking everyday.

"Essay"3: My University life ~ It's hard but important!~

I will talk about my university life. My university life is very hard for me because I have a lot of things to do such as doing blogs, some homework, movie reviews, book reviews and so on. In addition to these, I take a course of a certified travel consultant and it also gives me many homework. I do a part-time job in Hikarinomori's Japanese soba restaurant in about four or five days a week. After the part-time job, I back home and do a blog. Actually, I have to do homework and study of the course but I'm always sleepy at the time. That is why I have little time to do these things.


I think now, sophomore is more harder than when I was a freshman. It is more harder than before, especially, required subject such as writing and reading and so on. I think now, I didn't study hard when I was a freshman. Then I thought that if I do these hard works everyday, I will be able to build up my strength. And in addition to this, I think I will be able to manage well to find time to doing these things. This is very important ability for the future when I go out in to the society. I will tell you about what I challenged before and what I do now in university.

In December, I participated the English Speech Contest in this university. I participated a English Recital Contest in Kikuchi County when I was a junior school student with my friend and we took second place. I was very glad to this and I think it was a grate experience for me to gain confidence. I remembered the experience, so I decided to participate the contest. I was very nervous to speech in the presence of a large company but my experience help me, so I could speech in a loud voice. Then I could win the victory! The experience gives me more confidence.

In this summer, I am going to go New Zealand and study English and communication. I agonized over whether or not to go study training for abroad before. Then I thought it's very good experience for me to study other country, so I decided to go there. I plan that I will study the things I can't study in Japan, such as culture, life style, environmental protection and communication style. I went to Australia because of my home stay when I was a junior school student but it is only two weeks, so I want to study them more. I hope this experience will give me English strength.

There are a lot of things to do now and I feel hard and sometimes I don't want to do anything,but I think these experience helps me in the future or someday I confuse something. That is why I think I will try to be filial to my experience and chance. I will study more harder than before and I will challenge in everything I can do because the way my feels will become my vitality. I want my university life more fruitful, so I will do my best!!

Essay2:SHREK~The important thing is not one's appearance but character

The main character Shrek is a monster and he lives by a swam in forest which is a remote place. He is solitary monster and people say Shrek eats human and they dislike him. But this is wrong because he is kind and an easygoing person, so he enjoyed his life. One day, he met a stubborn and talkative donkey who name is Donkey. Shrek was irritated by Donkey but Donkey became attached to Shrek.

That night, many character of fairyland such as Little Red Riding Hood, a Cookie Man, witches, a wolves, Pinocchio and so on trespassed on Shrek's swam. They are all banished by Lord Farquaad who is a oppressive man because he thinks these character of fairyland are useless existence. Shrek went negotiating with Lord Farquaad with Donkey to take back his swam.

On the other hand, Lord Farquaad look for a beautiful princess because he want to be a king and king must to marry with the princess. And he elected the princess who's name is Princess Fiona, but she was placed in bonds. And the castle has a terrible dragon, so Ford Farquaad said " If you help the Princess Fiona out of the castle, I'll accept the terms." Such being the case, Shrek and Donkey slipped into the castle which has a dragon and helped the princess. But Princess Fiona has a secret. It's very serious secret. The secret was Princess becomes monster like Shrek when the sun set. She've thought her real figure is beautiful human body and had a magic.

Shrek and Princess Fiona deeply attracted to each other, but Shrek didn't know her real figure and thought "I'm unworthy of her because she is beautiful and I'm a monster". Shrek misunderstood that and they had a disagreement, so Fiona attended the marriage ceremony with Lord Farquaad. But Donkey explained to Shrek, so Shrek noticed his misunderstanding and he entered the marriage ceremony. And then he recaptured Princess Fiona. When Shrek kissed the Princess, She returned her real figure. Her real figure was not beautiful human body but a monster figure like Shrek. Then both monster united by their marriage happily!!

The story was very interesting and fantastic. There are many characters of fairyland and I knew most of them. The story is including comedy, adventure, friendship and love. I like Donkey because he is so funny and has happy face. Shrek is brave monster and he doesn't fear whatever happen. Princess Fiona is also brave woman and she is very cool. She didn't judged Shrek by appearance. I was impressed by that. I thought it's very important to not judge by appearances because persons are not to be judged by their looks. I think the most important thing is the personal character and one's kindness and happy face!
