When I was 3 years old, I started to learn English. I was sooo young but I really like to learn English, also my English teacher was awesome people. I met many teachers in my life. But especially before I came here, I met really nice teacher who comes from Australia. He taught me a lot of things about his country, his life, and his recent incidents. It made me so funny and now we are really good friend. He always care about me. Sometimes I hate English becauce of my lack of English skills. However every teachers enouraged to me so I could continue to learn English. I appreciate them and I really like to learn English. If I met him, I want him to judge that I improved or not, I hope that he said to me you are better than before!!!! haha

Mimiga-


In Okinawa, there are many strange food for me. In Okinawa's people like to eat pork because they think that pork has much energy for their body. I really surprised that they eat pork's ear. When I went to Okinawa in my school trip, I saw it for the first time. I know it has much collagen and really good for women's skin. But I dont want to eat it. It looked gross enough!!! I can't accept it in my body. At that time, I felt sorry for Okinawa's people, but I can't eat it anymore. So I ate so-ki noodle. But my friend's mixed too strong alcohol in my noodle!! I didn't know but I ate it all of it. I felt drunk at that time...

Reaction:

When I was child, I want to be a translator but after the year, I thought that is difficult. Because translator needs to good skill about grammar, writing and vocabulary so on. I always hate grammar and writing. When I was in Japan, I saw the news. I always admire the translator. They were talking fluently and simple. If I take a long time to get good skills of these, it is too late to become translator. Now I am studying in here, I thought I need to study more and more. It is good for me to improve the English skill. When I go back to Japan, I have to find the job. In Japan, there are not good situation of society. So I’m wondering about getting a job or not. Now it is hard thing to decide for me. What do you think about getting the job now? I think it is not good time to get job. However I want to get job someday

step by step

In my life, I always want to improvr myself.It is hard to improve and also I don't know that I'm improve or not. Sometimes I have run up against a wall. I can't do anything because it is hard to slove the problem. But I think deeply, I don't need to solve the problem quickly. I have time and many friends help me when I feel down. So I will try to solve the problem step by step. I always advice my friends to say step by step. When I was child, my mom told me this. She always encourage me and said this. When she said this, I feel really comfortable because she is my good advicer. That why I like this words and I want to keep it in my life.

How to protect the children from Violence.
I think that parents should protect children from violence. This is because the children need their parents, and need someone who protects them. The parents are the first people who tell the word, read, and some poetry. Now for parents stay in their house is better for the child. This is because they can discuss things with each other. It can be more relaxed and parents can understand children’s thinking. That is good information about children.

Lolita fashion


In Japan, many people have stereotype. I will tell about girls who are wearing pink lacing skirt, pink cuty hat and lacing white shoes. They are called Lolita fashion.They look like teenager but some of the girl who is not teen age. The people think about girls are pretty, pure and girly in socially. The girl who has these wishes become to wear Lolita fashion style. Also Lolita means not women but girl. In Japan, some of the famous artist like this so it is famous style. In my opinion, I have no idea to wear these and I can't image which I wear it. If someone wear this, it is their hobby but I think it is untidy. I don't know why these girls are not ashamed of their cloth and also these cloth is very expensive. But if I wear it like halloween day, I would wear it.
