      I’ll write about "writing class" in this year. I think writing class was helpful to improve my writing skill because at first, I couldn't write English sentence rapidly. For example, it takes about 3 minutes to write like this sentence, "My favorite movie is the devil wears PRADA. This movie shows a smart and cool woman." This is not introduction of me, so it was difficult for me when I started taking this class. However, now, I think this sentence is not difficult, and it takes 1 minute to write. This means my writing skill improved a little. It is happy news for me!! I think there are two reasons why I improved my writing skill. First, there is much homework. I think it was good, but some of us said it was bad because it was sure to be hard, but it was so important for me. If I had never done homework, I think I didn’t changed anything. It may be much homework, if I thought I want to finish in a day, but if I thought I will finish this homework by a week, it is easy. Thus, I did homework easily little by little each day. Because of this way I could be used to write sentences in English. That’s why I think homework is so important and good for me to improve my writing skills. Next, the homework and class were so fun. Especially, my favorite homework was journal H. To create new product was exciting. I was “Dictator” and “Nurse”, so I created “energy cloak” and “night ring”. Both of them were so useful to my customers, I think so. I had never done like this assignment, so I liked this. I want to do this again! Also, I want to say to you that I was so fun in your writing class. What I ask you is to give students assignment like journal H in next year too. Thank you very much.

The hero of this is an old man, Mr. Putter and his old cat, Tabby. They watched to snow come down, and they liked to give Christmas presents. They thought of what he could give to his neighbor Mrs. Teaberry, and they realized Mrs. Teaberry eats mounds of fruitcake every year. Therefore they decided to bake a light and airy cake for her, but they had never baked any cake. However they didn’t give up. I will not write here any longer, so please read this book. There are two reasons why I chose this book. First reason was because I thought this book’s illustration was so cute. Next reason was because this book is Christmas book, and it is coming Christmas. That’s all reason why I chose this. After I read this, my feeling became warm. Also, I thought Mr. Putter was kind and gentle man. I respect him because he devoted to her. I thought the person who does his best for someone is so cool. I want read a series of this book once. Next, I read A midsummer night’s dream by William Shakespeare. This book is published by Usborne Young Reading. This story is fantasy. There were four couple, and one of them is fairies. They have some trouble respectively. For example, Hermia is opposed marring with Lysander by her father, and she and her boyfriend, Lysander ran away from their city. Then, a fairy living in the forest, Puck enchants someone, but he made mistakes. I will not write down about what he did because I want you to read this book once. I thought this story is romantic and unreal. Also, while I was reading, I hoped them happy ending. In this book, there are not so difficult words. I think this book is easy to study English. The reason why I chose this book is just because I liked this illustration, but after I read this, I like this story, so please read this book. Thank you for reading.

I’ll write about how to be fashionable and intellectual person. This means not only about clothes, but also means about personality. The reason why I wrote this way is because I am trying this way to be fashionable person. First, go to book store or library to find your favorite books because there are many magazines, novels and various academic books. I think reading is so important to improve your sense and dignity. You can gain a lot of knowledge by reading, for example, you can learn fashion by reading magazine, or you can learn how to live best by reading someone’s autobiography. Therefore, you should go to book store or library, and you should read many books. Next, go to shopping by the train because at a station, there are many fashionable people, and you can learn fashion. Even if you find good clothes in shopping, don’t buy soon because you may find better clothes after that, so the reason why you go to shopping is not to buy clothes. It is to learn better fashion and improve good sense of clothes. Remember to keep having good posture whenever you read books, you walk the street or you are taking a train because it is so important to be seen as a fashionable person by someone. Then, you should attach your knee because if your knee attach, even your toes doesn’t attach, you looks good postrure. Finally study English. What’s more study Korean or Chinese, and so on. There are the reasons why you should study foreign languages. I think it is necessary for our best life to study and speak foreign languages because you should understand another culture to improve your intellect. If you try the above-mentioned items, you will be fashionable and intellectual person. Let’s try this way with me!! Thank you for reading.

I will talk about my memories when is the most impressive day. It was 2008’s summer. The day was basket tournament. My teammates were 18 people. The 7 of this were my classmate, and name is Aoi, Saki, Saki, Satomi, Yuri, Erina, Megumi. I was game captain, and my position was PG. It was both important parts, but the day, I was nervous. However I was managing to stay calm because we cooperated each other. Of course, we were always getting along, but the day’s unity was best. First, we won the first game by a score of 72- 28. Next, we won the second game 56-22. We were glad, but we were not able to be too careful. We always had a strategy meeting after we had had a game. At least, we took the stage which was the semifinals. At first, rival team was winning, but in the third quarter, we caught up with rival team. The reason why that is my teammate, Saki played an active part. She got 25 points. Thus, we won the semifinal by a score of 52- 46. It was the hardest game of games we played ever. Finally, we appear on stage, final. We were feeling the strain, but we were excited. With a whistle, we got ball and pass the ball. We got a first goal. Also, I got 12 points. Then, our score was 36, and rival team’s score was 32. After that, rival team caught up with us once, but we caught up with them again. As a result, we won the game by a score of 68-66. We were so grad!! That’s why the day is my most impressive day.

I’ll talk about my high school teacher, Mr. Hama. He was my Japanese teacher for three years. I respect him, because he has special personalities. Before the story begin, I’ll introduce his profile. He is 42 years old, and he has taught Japanese for 25 years. He is married, and he has one daughter. So, he is not only a great teacher, but also he is great father. I think it is so difficult to be both, but he could this, because he made a lot of efforts. There is a special class in my high school. What is called it was an extracurricular class. It was held at 7:00 a.m. Everyone were getting up at about 5:30 a.m., so many people were feeling exhausted. One day, I was late for the class. According to my friend, my classmates also lacked a mind to study. So, Mr. Hama was angry, and shouted “Nothing I don’t want to teach you!!” He went to a staff room never to return. After I hear this story, I went apologizing to him, and I and he met. I said “I’m sorry for be late your class.” He said “ You don’t know anything that how I cost my family!!” I was so sorry, and I realized that even he sacrificed his family, he did his best for us. Also, I realized that he made more effort than we expected. Now, I think he is great person I had ever met before. He was always thinking us, and he was always doing his best teaching to us. I think that it is so hard to make a lot of effort toward anyone. That’s why I respect him very much. I want to see him.

I think my sister Haruka is so stubborn, because she turns a deaf ear to someone’s opinion. Sometimes, we have a quarrel about little things. For example first, we have a quarrel about how to fold clothes, my family think towels should be folded into four, but she thinks towels should be folded into three. She says towels I folded are more comfortable than towels we folded to use. However towels she folded don’t fit our shelf. I think she should listen our advice, but she will answer only “I got it.” Although she turns a deaf ear to someone’s opinion, we excuse because we think she has ideas. Maybe it is useful for her to fold into three. She is so stubborn, and she turns a deaf eae to someone's opinion, but I think it is not bad. Of course, sometimes I feel troublesome feeling, but the personality is a strong point for her. Since she is stubborn, even if she has a disagreeable thing, she does not give up easily. I think it is her's good point. 

Next, I’ll talk about my friend, Saki. She has so delicate sensibility. She often says “ I don’t like me”, and I say “Why?”, she answered “Because I can’t do anything well”. If she couldn’t do something, she would disappoint herself. I think her goal is too high to achieve by herself. So, I think she is suffered by it, so she can’t achieve, and she depress. But I think it is not bad, because she has goal, and she does harder to achieve it. I think the reason why she has her goal which is too high to achieve herself is she does harder than other people. Although she has the heart which gets damaged easily, she always regained her heart by herself, and she always aims at the top. I think she is strong.
