Essay 2-02a : My Language Learning Experience

I don’t say, these memory call experience but surely I learned many things. Then I was College freshman, I regretted about why I born a Japanese. I want to born American or English. Now, I don’t think so. I learned Spanish in college. Spanish was influenced for me also English. On a basis of I write my language learning experience.

First, I want to write about my language, Japanese. I think everybody did same things, but I write it. Yet I was a baby, I listened many Japanese from my family. And I learned speaking. My mother talked me about it; you did later start to speak. We did very worry and also we thought to go the hospital for you. In fact I did start to speak when I was three years old. It is incredible that I did it. Because I’m kind of talkative person now! From then on I started to go the preschool, maybe then I could to write own name. And then I liked to read many picture books; I sleep then my parents read books. It was my favorite time. However I don’t remember when I was able to start to write, it is mystery. Then I started to go to the piano’s lesson school. I did sing many songs; I think then I memorized many Japanese. In elementary school I learned many things for Japanese. Perhaps I did the most learned for Japanese in my life then. In first grade I learned to write hiragana, katakana and kanji. Japanese has three kinds, so I had a difficult time memorize these three kinds Japanese. Especially I didn’t like the kanji; every time I felt trouble things then I took the kanji’s test. I didn’t wrestle with it test. Now I can’t to write many kanji, I regret this thing. In Junior high school, I learned about Japanese classics, it was so difficult. It is likes the Chinese classics. I did my best but I couldn’t understand well. In high school, I learned commercial Japanese because I went to the commercial high school. I was surprised these Japanese after all there were many Japanese that I didn’t know them in my life. Now, I learned many Japanese because Japanese has deep means. So, I don’t know a lot Japanese, recently I was pleasing for study the deep mean’s Japanese.

Next I want to write about English learning education. Perhaps I was preschool student when I leaned English from my father in bath. For example I did count from one to ten in English, and I answered father’s questions; he said, “What is Watashi?” I answered, “It is I!” It is very good memory. In elementary school I also did learned from my father. Then I like English. Every day I was happy!! And so I talked with ELT’s teachers. They were very kind for student! In junior high school I leaned in class and my father. Then I learned many grammars, but I didn’t like own English teacher in school. From then on I didn’t study English. It is same in high school. But I go to this college in Britain and America department. I decided study English and like it again. Everyday is very busy because I must recover blank time.

Third I want to write about Spanish learning experience. Then I was freshman I took Spanish course. Spanish is likes English but so difficult!!! I did pronounced many words and I did translate some sentence. Spanish teacher is very funny so it class was very fun!

Until now talk you know, I want to born American or English. But I know Japanese has many deep means. It is same in English, but I interesting Japanese now. I thought; I want to learn many things from now too. This is it see you again!

BR 2-06 stories of Gnomes & Goblins

I don’t understand Gnome and goblin’s mean. I did use my dictionary, maybe I understood their. I think there are a lot of cute beings. Until now I thought there are a lot of these beings in Japan more than foreign country. But, I was changed my mind.

For example there are “Oyayubi hime (thumb’s princess) “and “Issun boushi (the most little boy)” in Japan, they are not so cute which compare in European. If there is a similarity between it two, they are so abstract being and there are people who can see for them and can’t see for them. It likes Totoro! Sadly I couldn’t see Totoro. Oh my god, it is my dream in my childhood!! Before one knows it I was get old. BYE

Talking of Pony, I remember one thing. In my childhood I went to in Aso in every fall with my family. There are many flowers, cows, soft creams, and ponies. I was exhilarated this every year’s event. One day we went to the horse riding place in Aso then I did ride on the pony and my older brother did ride on the house when we were so excited!!

My older brother could sit a horse very well however I couldn’t sit a pony badly. If I said excuse myself, I was five years old then. Anyway my parent felt nervous then I rode. If I was likes this book’s main character, I should make friends with ponies and houses. But success is not easy; we must need much effort everything. BYE!

By the way, I working in one convenience store, recently a cat locate in the convenience store and coming everyday. It cat's looks like white and brown. I think cat get own bait from customer everyday so it cat coming. The cat tries to be pleasant for everybody. We call it cat "Nyantarou", and nickname is "Nyanta". The thing is, we can't have the cat in store. So, if we find the cat, we must run after the cat. Don't give easily the bait. We have responsibility. BYE!

Essay 2-01b : My favorite place

My favorite place is KKWING. Do you know this name? If you live in Kumamoto, you will know it. So KKWING is sports arena. There are some sports arenas in Kumamoto; maybe KKWING is most famous spots arenas in this Prefecture. Of course, Kumaoto’s most important game and match are held in KKWING. Once it was held in SUIZENJI stadium. But SUIZENJI stadium is few older than KKWING, now we are used that place in game and match in Kumamoto. KKWING is very big and good place.

KKWING is in Hirayama town in Kumamoto city in Kumamoto. There is nearly driver license centre. But it is not good transport to KKWING. If I go to the KKWING, and then I don’t have transport, I must use train or bus. When I chose the train, I have to transfer at Kumamoto. Just now I teach the way used a train for KKWING. If there am also me, live in Yathushiro, first you ride in train bound for Kumamoto station. And then you should transfer to Higo Ozu line. Second you get off at the Sanrigi station. Finally, you must catch a tax at that time you said to driver. “Please go to the KKWING.” That’s all. Regrettably I don’t know how to use the bus to KKWING, so I don’t teach. Sorry.

KKWING consists of five parts. First, the main stadium, main stadium can many sports so it has many kids. For example, we can do the soccer game, track meeting, marching bands festival, and etc. Second, the sub track, sub track is likes main stadium, but this stadium is smaller than main stadium. Accordingly if track meeting was held in main stadium, the sub stadium was used player; wait own action. Third, the tennis courts, there is this tennis courts few removed from main stadium. Fourth, the softball ground, this place is I don’t know. I have never seen this ground in my life however really there are. Fifth, aqua dome, the aqua dome has a pool. The aqua domes nearly the main stadium.

KKWING is very silent place because I introduced some time ago, there is far removed from the city. Usually there is nobody, therefore something sports game is held then many people gathers in KKWING. And then when I was high school student, I played there. I did long jump, every time I was so exciting in track meeting in KKWING, after all it is so near me that auditorium. First I was tensed up, but then I had own confidence, my shame changed excite. It is so good place.

Why I chose a KKWING, I love sports. Now I’m so busy, I can’t to do like a professional practice. But my young brother do long jump now. I’m indebted to my younger brother for my watch. And I have special memory in KKWING. It memory involve my high school student memory. It is my nice youth. If I have a free time, I want to play the sports. BYE

BR:04 Stories of fairies

This book has three stories, everything was very cute story. I remember the Tinker Bell when I hear fairy. I know this book is picture book, so this book was easy. There are picture stories in Japan, but they have difference anyway. For example this book’s first story is the tooth fairy, maybe it will became toothbrushman in Japan.

I think in Europe is took root a fairy. But in Japan isn’t it. In my particular case, I know a fairy in Peter Pan when I was 6 years old. Then I watched for the first time, so I couldn’t understand. What is fairy? Where are they live in? I believed there are fairies in foreign country’s forest in the cradle. Therefore this book was fresh for me. Please read this book!! BYE.
