It's like "Mixi" which is one of community site. It is very important to keep in touch with friends. If you have some friends of foreigner, and then when you want to keep in touch with your friends, but you cannot do that, you should join in it, because you can contact with your friend whenever you want.

Also, you can put on a lot of pictures there. So, you can remain on your home; which mean is your main site. It is sweet, isn’t it? You can change the language to Japanese on Facebook, but if you want to learn English there, you should set up in English. I need to keep in touch with my friends, because I can connect with them a long time, so I need to use it forever! That is why, I recommend it for you. However, it has some problems. Sometime, some of their information that is not true. So, there is not only good information but also bad information too. When we use Internet, we have to judge which is right or not.

Nowadays, the number of subscribers to online computer services has tripled in the past year, and then we can find computer any where we go. However, I want you to pay attention when you use it. What this about? I will ask you what a virus is before I tell you something for you. Otherwise, you might get in sick on a virus. If you get one, that’s too bad! So, you had better set up antivirus software in your computer. It would be good way to use it, I guess. Computer is very useful machine as you already know, but you have to keep thinking, like save to your computer all the time.

I have been used computer since when I was 12 years old. So, I’m getting good at writer recently because of it. Still, when I am free, or feel tried and want to get better feelings, I always use my laptop. It makes me laugh/relax trough Internet and some systems on it all the time. I can listen to music, play game, and watch to movies whatever I want. I can use it not only for study but also for my enjoy times. Moreover, I love to edit many sweet my memories; which mean is a lot of my pictures. I can send my friends, and also receive, that is why. Therefore, I really love to use it! If you don’t use it often, I would like you to use it. You will love it for sure! So, we can learn many things with computer!

At the end, I want to say that
NO COMPUTER NO LIFE for me!!!

In 1983 in December, it started that build for tunnel. It was going to be Takachiho in Miyazaki between Takamori. It seemed very smooth work just then. However 4 years later, an accident happened in February. When people who built the tunnel were doing work, suddenly spring came up there which was a deluge. So, they were very surprised! At the same time, they noticed that it wouldn’t be tunnel anymore. That’s kind of sad, there was nothing we could do, but there is very good place now because of the story. After that, it is important of our town because it has a part to save a lot of water, also the source of river.

Essays 2-04: My company; Youth Hostel Club ~Community~

Do you have any favorite communities in you life?
Of course I do have it what is "Youth hostel club". I will tell you about my club this time. By the way, there are many communities in the world. For example, about sport clubs like, basketball, tennis, baseball, swimming or so. I have been belonged to a soft tennis club in my junior high school. Then now, I'm belong to Youth hostel club which is 文化サークル. Let me talk about clubs of KGU. We have about 100 clubs, and it is separate 3 teams which are 学翔学会, 文化サークル and サークル連合in this university.

In my club, we have a lot of schedule in a year. First of the year, we have spring trip in April. Then after entrance ceremony, have a welcome party for freshman in May, night hike in June, costume drive in July, go to the beach/summer trip to go to Okinawa(only this year; we can choose wherever we want) in August, parade for school festival which is 託麻祭 in October, 託麻祭 in November, new stuff party in December, have a good bye party in March. As you see, we have so many plans in a year. It seems like just have fun or hang out, such as things. However, we

Right now, I am talking a break in the club activity because I have been spent lots of money for the club until now. However I need to save much money to go to Europe, and I really wan t to study abroad so I need a lot of money. That is why I am talking a rest these months. We have a relationship each other during lunch, get drunk, chatting, something like that. It's not only have fun but also we can connect each other more, so good for both for us.

One day, I asked my club reader about myself. Because I was really worried that I couldn't participate almost events that is like sport festival or so. I wish I could have joined it, but there was nothing I couldn't do. Even so, they are always kind for me. When they see me, they definitely say hello to me all the time. It makes me happy! I really like them.

As a conclusion, we have so many kind of community in our life, so we had better keep in touch with your company. In my case, I will keep in touch with my awesome friends of Youth hostel club from now on too. In the future, I might have problems perhaps between friends each other or with worker, but the good experiences will help me a lot, I guess. Because I know that people do have sweet heart in their.

Essays 2-03: Mrs. Doubtfire ~Bond between family, Relationships and Love~

I watched the movie what was the "Miss Doubtfire" that is kind of a love comedy movie, but not only about love, but also emotion of people. It had a lot of important theme. It's one of my favorite movies. Actually I've already seen it before, like when I was a high school student, so I almost knew about the story, but I felt different at the movie this time from then. So I'm going to tell you about 3 themes that are bond between family, relationships and love through this story.

At the beginning, there is Diniel, who is the main character, Miranda, who is his wife, they have three children who are Ridia(eldest daughter), Chris(oldest son), and Natalie in the movie. They love their children a lot. There was a close bond of affection between Diniel and Mirand, but she wanted to break off her ties with him. However, there were still the ties that bind parent and child together until they divorced.

There is my father, mother, older sister and brother in my family same as Daniel's. I love my family a lot, but sometimes I fight with them because of little things. I always think after our argument, like why did I say something to my sisters, or parents? Why am I so mean? Some thing like that, so I regret a lot. Because I'm excited too much when we argument each other. So I always frustrated after that. Even if we sometimes argument or so, they make me happy all the time. When I'm wrong, something mistakes, they say something for me, like good advices. Especially my mother, if I do some bad things, she will get mad at me. She is always very kind, smiling, so I'm very scared when she gets mad. But also when I got good things, they are always cheering for me, like they blessed a lot same as me. Of course we are human, so sometimes will have some problems, but that is fine. So I have to keep relationships with them, so I will love them more as I told. We have to think about what the real love is.

In this movie, "We love each other! Don't we?" Daniel told Miranda, but she answered "No, its over." This part was so sad for me. In Japan, they say what "I love you" each other often, even young people when they are dating. I used to think that its good, because its kind of good way to expression each emotion, but its really true? I don't think so. I changed my mind these months, so I think different that is like and love. So love is very, very important, I guess. So I cannot use it easy. I don't know other people, but I want you to think about "Love" more seriously.

In my opinion, I used to think about divorce that is bad, but now, I changed my mind so is not too good, but not bad sometimes. Of course people fall in love between women and man, then have some relationships, after that they will get marry. It just looks like very happy, then love each other a lot, but in fact, I'm not sure that is true or not. Nowadays, younger girls become pregnant many times, so I feel like very very, and very worried, so we have to think about that seriously. I am 20 years old, but we are still young, especially teenager. So just like/love each other is fine, but I think that too early to get pregnancy by teenager, because they have an abortion the same as pregnancy. That's too bad, also so sad. So they are not happy, aren't they? In our life, so many couple divorce. I think after graduated, or got a certain job, then save a kind of a lot of money, after that we will get marry with lover is better. I will get marry with someone in the future, I guess. However, I want to think about seriously, because I don't want to divorce for us, my children.

There is a lot of family in all over the world. We don't know which family is the best or worst, but we have to find happiness at least own. Of course we have different feeling. So we are all different. I don't know what you feel, like about your happiness. For example, if your parents are not so close, also dislike your father, and you want your parents to divorce. If they divorce, you will be happy. However some people don't think what you think so. The people will tell you that even if you want to do it, you shouldn't think something like that. So, we can find our happiness whatever we want, also we will be able to decide to it by ourselves.

As a conclusion, we have to do something forever during our life, who never know that we will happen in the future, even if near future. So we have to keep many relationships with family, of course other people too, like friends or so. Also there are lots of movies in our life. So when we have time we should watch these movies! I am sure that it will show/tell us a lot of important things! It must be!

Essays 2-02: My 2nd house -My favorite place-

Welcome to our house!!!

Where is your the best favorite place? I have a lot of favorite places, but this time. I will tell you about my 2nd house. What is that? It is a dormitory of exchange students of KGU. Usually I go there when I have time, like after school/holidays or so. There is built 4 rebel then they have a private room each student. We can go their rooms until 9 pm, also can stay at the dormitory until 12 am. Because I have a lot of opportunity there, also I can make many friends, so I go there often.

First, when I go there, we do just chilling sometimes, talking, cooking, watching a TV or something like that. Every weekend, they want to have a party or go somewhere, really every weekend. I think that they are very active and too much powerful, but if I were they, I would do like them, So I hang out with them a lot when I don't have work or free.

Oneday, I changed my mind that even if when I cannot understand, its OK, because that good for me, and then at least we can understand each other what we want to say, that is why. Of course it not too easy, but now, I need like natural convocation, not too formal, I want to be like a native speaker in the future, so if I practice a lot with them there, it would be great, I guess. Not only for me, but also its good for them too, because I can teach Japanese them, so it going to be both awesome.

Second, I am sophomore right now. It has been a long time since I began to go there though, I used to think that just have fun. I sometime think that I wish I had been there more early, but time already passed so there is no choice. I could say that thanks very much to everybody, I mean my many awesome friends. I always thankful for all of my friends. Therefore, the dormitory where is the most important place of my favorite places.

Finally, There is my start place! In the future, if I became older, I won't forget that my precious experiences there, also keep remain in my heart. Yeah! Love you guys!!!! By the way, I think that some people wants to go there, but they might not go there by themselves, the reason are like, don't have confidence, don't know how to get there, a little scare or so... but it going to be alright for sure. I know your feeling, because I was like that a year ago. So don't worry anything! Why don't you go there with me? Let's have fun, yeah!

Essays 2-01: Rich and Poor alike ~WEB Review~

Usually, what are you thinking through your life everyday? Also, are you really interested in something? Until now, its not too much say that I don't really know anything about living conditions. So I thought what I have to see how matters stand, if we know almost the state of affairs, it's going to be alright.

This time, I found which has a lot of good materials in the website that is BBC NEWS. This is the website address of top page. http://news.bbc.co.uk/ So, how would you like me explain it? I will talk about Zimbabwe today. Please let you know bout the country. web: http://www.bbc.co.uk/topics/zimbabwe.

There is a tremendous gap between the rich and the poor.

In my opinion, we have to pay attention with something, even if little thing is fine, the most important thing which is "thinking" anyway, I mean that our life will very happier than now and become confortable, I guess. That's why, we must care of something like that.

Japan>>>Zimbabwe

One day, when I had watched a TV show, I found that real Zimbabwe's information. After watched, I felt like very painful because we are every same human, but actually we have some difference things in all over the world. So it connected that the TV show and the website this time. Also, I met a guy at a camp who is a proffers in Kumamoto, he is from Zimbabwe. I heard about the country and really saw what some real pictures of there at the camp. There are so different from here in Japan. Some of people who live in Zimbabwe, they seem not good, yes very poor, because I just saw thought I understood what they cannot eat enough everyday. On the other side, in Japan; we eat at least 3 times a day. Of course we have like people in Japan, but it seemed terrible.

Essays1-06 My tool is Mr.English

Hello, today I am going to talk about my story of Japanese and English, plus Spanish, Chinese and Korean too. If you are interested in me at least a little bit, please read that!

First of all, when I was a child I met foreigner first time in my hometown. Just then I was so happy because I was surprised. I couldn't understand then I felt wonderful. Also "Why your eyes are different colour?", "...?! Are you Japanese?? mm, nono you are not, so... where are you from?" I thought. From then, I had become interested in English, also the other languages, countries, culture and history. So I took Spanish class last year. It was a little bit hard for me, because even in English, I'm not good at to understand it, so when I study Spanish it took 2 times as to understand English. However, I had become to understand it after 5 months since when I entered in this university. For example, faster research at dictionary, got vocabulary more then before and so on.

However, I didn’t know how to study English. So when I was a junior high school 2 year, I have given up once, but I became liked study English since when I went to New Zealand the year. I went to Australia the next year. I started to study English form then, but in fact, it was too hard for me. The reason is I was late to study English, so I was too frustrated, but I didn’t give up! Finally, I could enter in this university, so I’m glad to that. I must be study harder!!!

Secondly, I was talking the other language what is Chinese, because I was just interested in Chinese, especially accent and pronunciation. I love it! However, it was very difficult. In fact, it might be similar that like Japanese because we have Chinese letter. We called "KANJI". But, form is different. I think Chinese and English is very resembles! Anyway, I still like Chinese. I can't speak Chinese yet though, I can speak at least a bit.

So, recently, I am about worried, Why? because I can't write some KANJI(Chinese character) sometimes. So I forgetting a little bit... it's not good, but I concentrate to English so that's fine. However, of course I like Japanese, especially idiom or......, then Japanese has 3 items that are HIRAGANA, KATAKANA, KANJI. It's awesome, isn't it? I think so.

Then, I'm really interested in Korean recently. Why? Because I made a lot of friends who are exchange students at KGU. Usually I always go to their dormitory when I have times, then we hang out, just chilling, chatting, playing some games... etc. So I'm very good time with them. One day, a woman who is one of the Korean said me, "Panma gosso? パンマゴｯソ?" Of course I couldn't understand, but she gestured me how she put her hand to her stomach, so she wanted to say "Have you had eaten dinner yet?" she showed me. "Not yet." I said. Then she gave me which was delicious Korean foods, that is why. After that, I am teaching to Korean by them.

So, I have some vocabulary, some idiom, and I can say some sentence! I still study English because I am not perfect, but I'm interested in Korean right now! So I feel it's very easy to understand Korean! My hobby increased what is how to study Korean, it's too much fun to me:) I want to keep studying!!!

In my opinion, people who can study if he felt so, there are 195 counties in all over the world. So we should learn a lot of languages. If I could speak all languages, I wish I could...! But it's possible! We can do whatever!! We should know not only Japanese/English (native language or second language), but also the other language! I am sure what it will widely in my life in the future! It's very, very good for us, I guess.

Finally, I think I'm really blessed by my all environments, because I have a lot foreigner friends! I can find great opportunity in this university, you too, I guess. It's very helpful to me. I am grateful for all. I want to get great skills of English as soon as possible, and then I want to study another language from now on too.

Essay-04 My Hometown

Hello, this is Dumpling! How have you been?
How is your weekend? Let me know...

Today, I will tell you about Montana State University and Bozeman. I visited to Bozeman of Montana 4 months to go and take a look at a university before when I go there. So I want to study abroad in there.



*Map to the Bozeman campus


First, I was very surprised because there are so many kind people. In fact, I think usually there aren’t good people isn't so many in all over the world. So I felt very good to kindness person in there. Someone said me “Hello”, “How’s it going?” when I walk out side, like walk with a dog, just even walking and so on, anytime/everywhere. I really moved when I had a experience like that. If you go there, I’m sure what someone will say “Hey, how are you?” to you as me by them. You will feel becoming warm it your heart.

One day, when I went to hike a mountain with my friends. Then it happened what someone’s car stopped in front of us because of a lot of snow. I didn’t do anything for them though… I was very happy what my friends helped to them. After that they told me, “We should help each other so it’s not special, it’s normal.” I admired them attitude. I’m Japanese as you know, I thought a moment though what if the accident had in Japan, what does Japanese do for them? Surely almost people couldn’t do that like them.

Second, I’m going to tell about MSU. In fact, I joined on of the classes that “Japanese History” at MSU! It was very good for me, at the same time I was frustrated because I noticed what I don’t have a lot of knowledge of Japanese history, culture and so on. I can’t say till I had studied a lot about that bring confident. So I decided what I should know about kind of that so I’m studying since when I got back to Japan. It’s actually good for me. Perhaps it’s might good for us. I mean who is Japanese. Why? Because we have a duty to know it. Don’t you think so?

When I came back in Japan from there, I asked one of my friends of exchange students about MUS of detail. Then I got one’s ideas in shape. They have 3 good points.

1. Professor
They have a lot of nice professor in there. If you have any questions, you should ask them, they will answer to you even if they are busy.
2. Environment
The students can study relax and enjoy. They also have a good cafeteria and library.
3. Subjects
The student can choose what a lot of subject respective, like psychology, philosophical, music, art, etc.

Anyway there is awesome! And also there a lot of nature, beautiful mountains, good places. I really want to come back there as soon as possible. Therefor I wish what my dreams come true soon. What my dreams? It’s join class of them. I mean… the exam pass for my study abroad!

Well, what did you think of it? when you read it after that if you feel at least you interested in MSU or Montana/Bozeman, I'll be glad to about that. So you can live a full life in there. This much I can say with confidece what you will love it! It must be great!!!
This is MSU's information: http://www.montana.edu/
Check it out!! Peace!

Essay-03 University Life

I tell you about my university life. First, I tell you what my major. I am a Western English major. Recently, I feel time flies. Why so fast...?!! I can’t follow the time to fast. However, actually I’m living a full life so I feel a sense of fulfillment. My university life is dark! beautiful!! and awesome!!!

At the first, about my awesome friends! I blessed friends. I always surrounded by very good friends. When I have a worry about things, have a trouble, don’t have a confident and so on, they always cheer for me. So I’m glad to see them and I am a student of KGU. I always grateful for every my sweet friends! I say now, dear my friends, “Thank you very much all the time.”

Second:about homework, I am 2 years right now. I’m having a good time each class of English, and the other classes too. However I didn't expected what such a lot of homework. I fell it’s a hard for me, but actually it’s a very good for me. I’m not good at book review. I can read kids book recently, but pen is stop when I write down the story because I don’t have a very large English vocabulary, then my English ability is not enough. However, I want to keep going like now.

I usually go to at library in this university after school. There are very comfortable because good temperature in all season in there, people who can borrow even if too many books, then it open since 9 am to 11 pm, that’s awesome. Moreover this library has a good collection of books on everything, like economy, biology, geography, languages and so on. Therefore there are very good for us. I'd like to use there from now too.

At the end, speak about exchange students of KGU. I really like communication to them. I think it's good for each other because I want to get what English skills, then they also want to get what Japanese skills. So I hang out with them often on weekend, go to sea, zoo, even just chilling, that's fine. It's very fun.

I changed my mind since when I met them. I had have a very good experience for 1 year because of them so I improved a little bit. It's some experience that we can have only in this university.

As a conclusion, I think a good deed never goes unrewarded. Now, their skills might be very good except me, but it is the result of them hard work till now. I’m studying every day, even for a short time when I have no time. So I am sure, time will tell. So keep going what study in English every day like write down daily on my blog, listen to music and so on! I am trying to widen our sphere of activity in this university. Anyway I must be study. My target is TOEFL for study abroad right now. Then I hope it will getting better when I graduate. I still believe what “dreams come true” so I won’t never never never give up!

That is canon 910, so very new of recent.Well my hobby is take a picture so I'm glad to get that anyway.

The have so many good points! This is need for me forever.

Second, I tell you about my best friend. I remember the day when we met first him clearly. There were in class room of KGU last year. Well I didn't especially think about him, and I also didn't expected to him so I'm still surprised that we are very good friend.

One day, I was crying in front library of KGU when it held that is speech contest in English. I didn't join them because I didn't have confident. Usually people who give me some phrase, I mean word of cheer like "take it easy", "relax, relax, relax.." when I feel not good kind of bad, but he was different. He say that "You are you, you don't never give up and keep study like now, then you can do it some day!" So I really moved because he seemed seriously for me. Anyway he always cheer for me so finally I could have a little confident. So I want to help him when he has some problems, then I hope he have a good time every day with his another friends and I hope keep our good friendship from now too.

If he is happy, I'm also happy. That's why I cheer for him!
That's all.
