Speaking☆Other group idea

I discussed with Saki, Yui and Shiori. They thought to improve KGU parking. There are no KGU parking area, so many people rent parking area in Kengeki by paying 400yen, but sometimes, KGU students can't rent parking area. KGU students can rent parking privately near KGU, but it cost to rent parking about 8000yen for a month. KGU students can't go to KGU by car. So Saki, Yui and Shiori advised increasing parking area near KGU, but there are no space near KGU. So they advised making sky park. It is unique idea, but I disagree with the idea, because the sky park will cost a great deal. They said "The cost to building a sky park use a part of school expenses, and KGU students who use a sky parking have to pay 5000yen for a month." It is a good idea. If the sky park is built, many KGU students will be able to go to KGU by car. But it takes many hours to building sky park. We can't use sky park soon. Sky parking is good and unique idea, but I disagree with the idea. I was glad to discuss with Saki, Yui and Shiori and hear their idea.

Speaking☆My group's project idea

We thought to improve student cafeteria at KGU. In our survey, 79percent KGU students want to improve KGU cafeteria. We asked them Why do you want KGU student cafeteria to improve? Then 82 percent students answered because KGU students cafeteria's menu is a few. Then we asked them How menu do you want in KGU student cafeteria? Many boys students answered they want to increase more volumy menu. In the truth, popurer menu with boys students is Katsu rice, Katsu carry and Sutaminadon all of which are volumy menu. Boys students want more volumy menu in KGU student cafeteria. So our idea is increasing volumy menu like a hamburger don and hamburger set meal for boys students. Humburger is volumy food, and there are no humburger menu in KGU student cafeteria. What is more most people like a humburger.
Then many girls students answered they want to increase more healthy menu in KGU student cafeteria. Many girls students are on diet and want to lose their weight. Now there are no healthy menu. Populrer menu by girls students are Tantanmen, Ichizenhayasi and Udon all of which were low calorie food. But girls students want more low calorie food. So our idea is increasing healthy menu like a salad or low calorie set meal. A low calorie set meal which is used Japanese food mainly. For example, a fish set meal and Tohu hunburger set meal and so on.
Then many students want KGU student cafeteria to low the price of menu. The popular menu's price were 400~500yen. If we eat them about three times a week, we must pay 4800~6000yen for a month. It is expensive for student. We asked students What KGU student cafeteria's menu do you eat most frequent? Boys student answered Sutaminadon, Katsu raice and Katsu carry. Girls students answered Ichizenhayashi, Tantanmen and Udon. Katsu rice and Sutaminadon and Ichizenhayashi and Udon are relatively low price. But the price of menu are expensive. When I went to Kumamoto university's student cafeteria, I saw cafeteria's menu. Then I was surprised, because the price of menu were cheap. Kumamoto university's student cafeteria is about 30~50 yen lower than KGU student cafeteria. It is difficult to cost down, but if it can do it, many KGU students will be glad and cafeteria more enlived.
Although we want KGU student cafeteria to improve more, many KGU students like KGU student cafeteria, and often go KGU student cafeteria.

Essay 2-03b

Learning languages are not easy. I have learned two languages so far. One is English. The other is French. English was spoken by many countries, and in these days of globalization, learning English is important. I study English to the future, and also like studying English. I like French food and interested in French. I will go to French in near the future, so I studied French. Learning French is also important for me. I want to write about my learning languages stories.Before I studied English in elementary school, I didn’t even know the alphabet. I learned alphabet with singing alphabet’s music. I like singing alphabet’s music. So I could learn the alphabet soon. Then I studied a basic grammar and some words. I took English licensing examination two times, when I was in first year of a junior high school student, I was qualified forth of English license. I was very happy. Then I studied English hard to get a forth of English license. Then when I was in third of junior high school student, I could get a third of English license. The more I study English, the more I was interested in English. I enjoyed studying English.

When I was high school student, I studied English. I was belong to English club. I spoke with an international student in English at English club. I was also exchanging letters with some Americans who study Japanese in American high school. I began to study English more through this English club. When I was in second of high school student, I took a semi-second of English license examination. But I couldn’t get a semi-second of English license. I lost confidence in my English. After that when I was in third year of high school, I especially study English hard to take an entrance examination. After the entrance examination, I took English licensing examination again. Although I couldn’t get a semi-second English examination, I took a second of English examination. When I am qualified second of English license, I was glad. Then I studied English actively. I took part in English speech contest. I felt English pronunciation is difficult again, so practiced English speech with a teacher many times. It is good memory.

Now, I study English at KGU everyday. Writing, speaking, reading. I speak English at speaking class. It is interesting. I write English at writing class. Sometimes writing English difficult, but it is good for me. I read an English language newspaper at reading class. Many teachers teach me English kindly, but my English skill is not so well. I have to study English harder.

Second, I want to write about French. When I was in my first year at KGU, I learned French for the first time. French is different from English. Pronunciation, grammar and French words. Studying French was difficult for me. I learned French step by step. I didn’t like studying French at first. But the more I study French, the more I could understand French. So I came to like studying French. Needless to say, I study French all night the day before the exam. But it is good memory.

I have learned two languages so far. Learning language is not easy for me. But the more I study language, the more I like studying language. Now I study only English. But if I have a time, I want to study French again. In these days of globalization, learning language is important, and useful for us.

BR 2-08 "Marty and the magazine Maga"

This book's picture peculiar compare with others, so I am interested in this book. There are CD shop where Joe and Marty go often after school. One day, when Marty waiting to pay for CD at the checkout counter, he looked Joe lifting a magazine. Marty was very surprised and his heart was going so fast. A shop assistant didn't joe at all. After , Marty paid for CD, they left CD shop and Joe pulled the magazine. Marty said he looked joe lifted a magazine. Joe hoped no one elso saw him and started to look at the magazine. Joe felt a sick. Then Joe's mum came to them by chance and found the magazine. She said "Where did you get that magazine from Joe?" "It's Marty's," said Joe. Marty protected Joe. Then Joe return the magazine to CD shop.
Joe and Marty had been friends since they were small, but Marty thought Joe something had changed now. He is not what he was. Marty met Joe at school and Joe said to Marty "Hi" and Marty said "Hi" back, but he didn't feel like talking to Joe. He felt He was talking to someone he didn't know. Then Joe was no longer Marty's friend.
I hoped Joe and Marty make up, but it didn't. I felt sad. This is sad and painful story, but I sympathized with Marty. I have felt my good friend changed, and she is not what she was. I felt sad and don't want to talk the friend. I think a person continue to be change with growing, and it is good change or bad change. If I and you felt our friend changed bad way, we should say "You are wrong," If there are a close bond of friendship, we will be able to say it and friend will understand. I thought Marty shoud have said Joe "You are wrong, I don't want you to lift!" Although I understand Marty's feelings, Marty should help Joe if they are truth fiends and Marty likes Joe.

Kagoshima

The alarm went off in many places at 8;00, but nobody would get up. We got up at 8;30 after all. Although we had a good night's rest, we overslept and had to go to eat breakfast in the hurry. Breakfast is Japanese food and delisious, too. We didn't talk so much because we have been difficult to get up since we were child. I thought they were unchange and same when they were child. I was glad.

After we ate breakfast, we got ready. We made up for an hour. When we left our room, I felt sad. Although I stayed only overnight, I made many memories in this room. This room is comfortable, I like this room.

We decided to go to Kagoshima aquarium last night, so we went to Kagoshima aquarium. Kagoshima aquarium is near the hotel, so we arrived there soon. When we went to an entrance of Kagoshima aquarium, Kagoshima aquarium opened. It was good timing. There was a big shark called Jinbei zame and there were many kinds of fish in a big water plant. Jinbei zame was so big that I was surprised. I looked jinbei zame for a while. I could watch jinbei zame eating fish bait. Contrary to general belief, jinbei zame's fishbait was small, but jinbei zame's mouth was so big. An adult will be able to enter jinbei zame's mouth. To my surprise, jinbei zame that was in a big water plant was a chiled. How big are adult jinbei zame. We were excited and looked at a big water plant for a while. I felt mysterious and thought how wonderful to swim in water for a long time. Then I found a peculiar fish. I said "What's that?" My friend was also surprised and laughted by it and said "Is that a fish? How slender it is!" The creature like a fish was slender and look like a big earthworm. The creature swam oddly. I have never looked such a creature. I was interested in it and wanted to know it's name and This creature is whether fish or not, but I didn't know anything about it. Then we watched many creatures which live in water. I thought there were many creatures that I don't know in the earth. I thought medusan is bautiful for the fast time. They swam in blue water elegantly. A big clib was fearful, but looks delicious. I watched a conger called chinanago. It didn't swim and it was coming up in the sand. It is white and very very slender. I couldn't believe it is a conger. Then I found a model of adult jinbei zame. It was so big that I and friends were surprised. All of us could enter jinbei zame's mouth together easly. We took a picture in jinbei zame's mouth. I want to watch adult jinbei zame in the real. Then we watched a sea turtle's baby. Although a sea turtles are bug, baby was small and cute. I felt pouwer of life. Then I touched a starfish but other friends would not touch a starfish. I took a picture with a starfish. I also touched a sea cucumber. It was black and soft. I was called namako by some people so I felt close to it. Touching a starfish and a sea cucumber was good experience. Thank you a starfish and a sea cucumber. A starfish didn't move at all, so I worried if a starfish was living. It is said "A starfish move very slowly. Although you put a starfish upside down, they can recover. It will took long time to recover." on a sign. "Funny!" everyone said and laughed at it. Then we watched the show of a sea otter. They were so cute and good at swim. A show of a sea otter was interesting. We watched a show of dolphin, too. Many people came to watzh a show of dolphin. Dolphins were so big and they swam fast. Why they understand what human say? They were so clever. A show of dolphin was interesting, too. After a show of dolphin, we went to a souvenir shop. There were many souvenirs of Kagoshima aquarium in souvenir shop. A key ring of dolphin and a sea toter were so cute. We were excited. I bought some key rings. My friends bought many souvenirs in the shop, too.

After we left Kagoshima aquarium, we went to eat lunch. We wanted to eat Kurobuta tonkatsu. So we went to a restaurant that making food of Kagoshima. I ordered a food like a ochazuke which was Kagoshima's food and called Keikadon. I have never eaten and heard, so I worryed if I like it. Other friends ordered a ramen and kurobuta and so on. Every foods were rare food so we were bubbling. Keikadon was delicious and flavor was like a ochazuke. Kurobuta tonkatsu is delisious! I have never eaten such a tonkatsu. This kurobuta tonkatsu have a lot of collagen. We can't eat such a tonkatsu in Kumamoto. Then we ate mango ice cream. We were full and satisfied.

We went sightseeing and bought souvenir. We bought many souvenirs because there are many coted products in Kagoshima. I bought a caramel which taste is a sweet potato. It must be delicious, and a sweet potato pie and a sweet potato talto. I like a sweet potato so I bought many food which tatse is a sweet potato. I bought cookies which shape is Saigou Takamori. Saigou Takamori is from Kagoshima and he is famous as one of people who made Japanese history. We watched his bronze statue in many place of Kagoshima. Saigou Takamori is respected and popular by many people in Kagoshima. My friend bought a clear distilled liquor which called shouchu in Japanese. Kagoshima is famous for shouchu so there were many kinds of shouchu. It is difficult for my friend to decide what kind of shouchu she buy. It took 30 minutes to decide what shouchu she buy. All of us were satisfied with shopping so we returned to Kumamoto. I like Kumamoto but I wanted to stay more in Kagoshima.

We dropped in rest station again. I bought shoronpou again. I love syoronpou. Except for driver, everyone slept in car. When we dropped in rest station second time, driver Riho said "I felt sleep and I want to sleep, too" We were surprised and felt danger so. I bought Minmindaha which is likes a kind of drug to keep awake for Riho. We talked where we travel next time. We are going to travel again.

When we returned to Kumamoto, we were tired but also glad. I thought Kagoshima was good place but also Kumamoto was good place. When I say to my friends good bye, I felt very sad, but we promissed we travel together again.

I had a good time with my best friends for two days. I experienced many things I have never done and watched many things I have never seen and ate many foods I have never eaten. Traveling was good thing. I could make many memoris with best friends. I will never forget this experiences and memories. If I and my friends have free time, I want to travel again!

Travel to Kagoshima from 12/19~20

I have traveled to Kagoshima with my friends for two days. Akuka, Akane, Eri, Riho are my friends who played volleyball together when I was small. We gethered at Kamikumamoto station at 11;00. Then we went to Kagoshima by car and moved on a superhighway.

It took about 2hours to go to Kagoshima and we enjoyed driving. I like driving on a superhighway because there are some rest stations on the way of a superhighway. There are many delicious local food in rest station. We droped in rest station two times. There were many food which were rare. We were excited and bought many foods.

When I dropped in rest station at the first time, I bought syouronpou which are sold most of rest station and popular by many people. I like syoronpou and I always buy syoronpou when I dropped in rest station. I also bought tenpura in cheese and norimochi. Norimochi is famous for Kagoshima, and it's sauce is very much with mochi and nori. What is more, norimochi is cheap, it is only 80 yen. If you go to Kagoshima's rest station, please buy norimochi!!

When I dropped in rest station second time, I bought a soft ice cream which taste is a sweet potato. If I go to Kagoshima, I decided to eat a soft ice cream which taste is a sweet potato. Sweet potatoes are special product of Kagoshima, so there are soft ice cream which taste is a sweet potato in Kagoshima. I can't easily eat a soft cream which taste is a sweet potato in Kumamoto. When I found a soft ice cream which taste is a sweet potato in Kagoshima's rest station, I was excited and bought it soon. It is delicious, I was satisfied that I came to Kagoshima.

When we arrived at Kagoshima, we got lost. We didn't know where we were and where the hotel which we stay at an inn, so we went to the shrine and asked a man. To my surprise, the hotel is near the shrine. We could found the hotel from the shrine. It took 1 minutes to go to the hotel from the shrine. We were laughed at it.

We arrived hotel at 6;00. When we went in the room, we felt relieved. We drunk a cup of tea. We talked for a short while. Then we were hungry, so we went to eat a dinner. A dinner is Japanese food and looks delicious. We were excited. There were noted product in dinner. Kurobuta, Youkan which taste is sweet, jidori and so on. I thought Kagoshima's taste of food is sweeter than Kumamoto. Kagoshima's syouyu is sweet. We enjoyed dinner. It was good experience.

When we return to our room, two womans were putting a sheet over the futon. We said "Thanks" And two womans said to us "Where did you come from?" We said "We came from Kumamoto," Two womans were surprised and said "Oh really? Your dialect was different from us," I said "Yes, I felt strange because many people's pronunciation is different from me. Did you notice?," A woman said "Yes, of cause. Don't worry. I think your dialect is good," I said "Thank you, I think Kagoshima's dislect is different from Kumamoto but good, too. It is interesting." Then we talked about the difference between Kagoshima and Kumamoto. And we asked a noted place of Kagoshima. They taught us kindly. I could know about Kagoshima, and they could know about Kumamoto, too. It was interesting.

The hotel where we stay is near downtown in Kagoshima. I said "I want to go and see downtown in Kagoshima," Asuka and Akane said "That's a good idea. I want to go to downtown, too," Eri and Riho said "I was tired and want to take a rest. I will stay here," I and Asuka and Akane go to downtown in Kagoshima. Downtown in Kagoshima is smaller than that of Kumamoto and cute. We were excited and enjoyed shopping and sightseeing. I wanted to play at downtown but we had to return to hotel until 11:00 because a hot spring in hotel was be going to close at 11;00 so we returned to hotel at 9;00. When we returned to hotel, we asked some young person where is a convenience store near. Young person taught us kindly, and they said "Where did you came?" I said "We came from Kumamoto," They said "Really? What to do?" I said "To travell" They said "Wow! Please speak something in dialect of Kumamoto," I said "Of cause" and spoke in dealect of Kumamoto, but they didn't understand what I said well and said "It is hard foe me to understand what you said, Kumamoto dialect is deffrent from dialect of Kagoshima but interesting," Isaid "I think so too." We were laughed at it.

After we returned to hotel, Eri and Riho had already taken a hot spring bath and weared Jpanese cloth. We said "Oh cute! Japanese cloth is much you! I want to wear it soon" They said "Thanks, It was good hot spring, You will be relax and recover from the fatigue of your journey," We went to a hot spring soon. The hot spring is not big, but we could be relax and recover from the fatigue of jouney. We enjoyed talking with taking a hot spring bath. After we took a hot spring bath, we went to a convenience store to buy sweets and drinks with a Japanese clothes. It was a cold day and Japanese cloth is thin so we were very cold. Naturally enough, when we arrived a convenience store, a shop assistant looks be surprised. He was glancing us.

After we returned to hotel, we started to party. We ate and drunk a lot. We talked a lot. About when we were child and played volleyball together, our supervisor, our boyfriend, our future and so on. It was interesting. I had a good friends. They are my friends and teammate forever. Then we went to bed at 2;00.

Today, it was a hard schedule so I was tired but interesting. I met many people and experienced many things I have never done and ate many foods I have never eaten. I had a good time and good memories.
