Essay2-02c: Language Learning Experience

When I was 5 or 6 years old, I started to learn languages without Japanese. I always used Japanese, but I didn’t always use other languages. So other languages are difficult for me. I’m going to tell you about my language learning experience. You please read it.

I started to learn foreign languages when I was a kindergartner. My mother likes Western music so much and I was listened it with her. This is my first meeting with English. I thought that English is cooler than Japanese because I feel so. So I interested in English. First I asked my mother what the English words in the lyrics.

When I entered elementary school, I took lesson. I went to Washington foreign language school. It is a English conversation school. I learned English through a lot of games or songs. For example, I played Japanese back gammon and card. While waiting the conversation class, I watched videos. The video was in English with Japanese caption. I am not only learning English but also learning American cultures. In October, Washington foreign language school’s students learn about Halloween and goT to other room and practice it. I could learn both English and other country’s culture. I liked it so much.

In elementary school, I had English class. It was a speaking class. We was learned a series of conversations and practiced it by talk with the pair. We sometimes learned English song. This class was so interesting for me, so I liked the class. In class, students had to perform an English drama once a year. We got the script and practiced it. The content was Sanbikinokobuta or Sarukanigassen or Akazukinchan. We could choose favorite one. I chose Sarukanigassen, and learned many English phrases in it.

In junior high school, I had an English class. It practiced learning English grammar and spoke with pair. The teacher was my homeroom teacher when I was in the first year of junior high school. She was so interesting and her teaching was good. So I liked her class. I went to a cram school and a tutor came to my house and she was teach me English. The tutor’s teaching was so great.

I had three English classes in high school. That was speaking class, two grammar classes. Students was given the teacher an exercise book, other grammar class learned the content of textbook. The grammar class’s teacher gave students a quiz every week. It was difficult for me, but it trained me to remember a lot of English words.

In university, I have many English classes. I had a Germany class last year. German is more difficult than Japanese because it has feminine noun, neuter noun and masculine noun. It was different from Japanese and English. It was so difficult for me to understand it. But the class was so interested for me.

I have learned foreign languages still now. I have a lot of experience from I was a kindergartner to now. But I don’t speak English frequently. I must speak more, because I want to speak English frequently, I like English the best. I must study harder. I want to learn Korean. Thanks for your reading.

Essay 2-o3a: My University Life

Today, I am going to tell you about my university life. I thought that university is same as my imagination. It is so confortable for me. And it is so interesting for me.

First, I am going to tell you about facility. I thihk that it is so good. When I want to elementary school, junior high school, and high school, The facility was not so good. Especially, elementary school and junior high school is so bad. For example, a bathroom is so old. I told that thing to friends, she was so surprised. But, this university is so beautiful bathroom. It is so confortable for me. The other is the computers. This university has a lot of computers, so when the students want to use the computer, they need not wait. In junior high school. There were some computers, but the student can't use at their discretion. So I couldn't search anything that I want to search. But now, I always can search in the internet. When I must write the report. I had profit by the computer.

Second is class. The university teachers teach the student special matter. I was teached by teachers the basic matter until when I was a high school. So I am learning many things still now. It is interesting for me to learn particular matter. I usually don't like learning but it is my favorite things, so I heard it willingly. In English class, foreign teacher teach the students. We can learn living English. In the speaking class. I learned difference between the and a. If you watch movie in your home, you must use "the movie". So "I watch the movie" But you watch movie in the theater, you must use "a movie". So "I watch a movie" When I learned it, I felt really interesting.

Fourth, I am going to tell you about qualification. I can try to take the test in my university but In Kumamoto university, the student can't take the test in the university. So my university can take the test without constraint. I could try a lot of qualification's test, so that is benefit me. From I entered this university, I got three qualifications. And I will try to get more qualifications. My university can take lecture out of the classes. That cost is cheaper than other school.

Fifth is friend. I have a lot of friends in the university. There are not bad friends. They are so cute, kind, funny. We talk about a lot of things and consult each other. I am a happy girl! I think that friends is the most important thing.

Therefore, my university life is the best. The students sometimes afflict by report or announcement or other homeworks. But we can help each other, so we can finish that things. I am a university sophomore, so I am short of a lot of time. And I must live a lean university life. Thank you for your reading.

Then I become love Hawaii, so I decided to go to there again. It was good for me what I can go to there. Last year, we needed to learn about Hawaii more. So this year I used the internet and some guide books to check places of interest. First day we left Japan in the night. In the plane, I watched "Best Kid" and "SATC2". "Best Kids” leading actor is Jackie Chan. I like him and then it was new movie. It is so good. After that, I watched "SATC2". I watched it and I love this movie, so I watched it again again. And I didn't go to bed, so I arrived Hawaii I was so tire and want to go to bed!haha But I couldn't it. I went to shopping. I was so tired, so we went to the shop near by the hotel. We went to Duty Free Shop. We went to Marc By Marc Jacobs. Last year, I bought a fantastic wallet, so I became like Marc By Marc Jacobs so much. But this year's goods were not so good. That's too bad! I wanted to bag, but I couldn't find my favorite one. Next we went to Chloe. Chloe had nice bags, but I couldn't buy it. Next we went to second floor. There sell cosmetic. I love there so much. There are BOBBI BROWN, BENEFIT, MAC, ANNA SUI and perfume shop something others. I bought a lot of cosmetics. For example a blusher, a eye shadow, case and black and dark brown's eye shadows in BOBBI BROWN. I bought perfume and lip-balm in BENEFIT, I bought a perfume in CHANEl, I bought a perfume in GIVENCHY. My mother likes CHANEL's perfume and GIVENCHY's perfume, so I bought those. It's her birthday presents from me. I was so happy becouse she likes those so much. We looked around. It was getting dark and we were so tired, so we went to the hotel and sleep well.

Second day, we got up early. We prepared and we went to Ala Moana shopping center and Ward Centers. First we went to Ward Centers. The purpose is Menchie’s! Menchie’s is frozen yoghurt shop. It was so good! It has many flavors and toppings. I chose pineapple and something! I can't recall! But Menchie's is my recommendation. If you go to Hawaii, you must go to Menchie's! Frozen yoghurt is low calories and the taste is plain. It is so healthy! And we went to Ala Moana shopping center. The center is so good. There are many shops in there. And there are many restaurants too. In Hawaii, plate lunch is famous, so we ate it there. That is so big!!!!! So we bought a plate lunch, and we ate together. After that, we went to many shops again. And we went to supermarket. It is so big. Goods are big too. We ware surprised it. I was tired, so I sat on the chair and drank juice alone. Then, African American asked me the way to the bus station. I couldn't teach the way to the bus station because I don't know that, but I was so happy that I can talk foreigner. That was so good experience for me.

Third day, we went to near the hotel. And we went to outlet mall. There are many shops. I went to perfume shop and I bought some perfumes and body creams.

Fourth day, we went to North Shore. In North Shore, there is Matsumoto shaved ice. Many people queued to buy shaved ice. Of course, I queued it. The shaved ice is different from Japanese shaved ice. Hawaii's shaved ice was soft. I like that so much. After that, we went restaurant to eat lunch. We ordered pizza and large sized coke. Its so nice. Next, we went to beach. The water is so beautiful. The attendant said "If you could see a turtle, you are so lucky!" I saw a turtle. I was so happy! The turtle was swimming. It is so cute! I want to see a turtle again!
