What I learned in 2013

I would like to write about what I learned in 2013. This year, I became sophomore student. I had heard sophomore is the hardest year, so I had worried about if I could live... but back to past, I could do it I think.

This year, I had big exams for being an exchange student. Through it, I thought about myself carefully. I had passed the exams, and I became to study English harder. I'm taking classes for being an English teacher now. I had some microteachings in this year. I was so nervous because of these, but it was doing well. Through these challenges, I learned about classes.

In this year, I more often went to English Lounge than last year. It was courageous for me to go there, but going there is a lot of fun. I met a lot of people there, and enjoyed talking with them. I learned that courageous was important, and I learned a lot from people I met. They were working hard every time, so their work taught me a lot of things.

On October in this year, finally I started to work at a cram school as a tutor. I want to be an English teacher, and it was a lot of fun. However, teaching English is difficult, especially to students who don't like English. When I was a junior high school, I liked English, so it was difficult for me... Through this job, I learned fun and difficulties of teaching English. Through 2013, I learned a lot of things and met a lot of people. I want to thank all of people!

Important Person For Me

I would like to choose my father because he is one of the person that I respect. He runs a law office and works every day with my mother and employees to bring us up.

I respect him gentility, for example, he rarely complains and gets angry. When I want somebody else’s advice, I often talk to my father. It’s because his way of thinking and my way of thinking are similar to each other. Also, he gives me some advice from his experience. So, I thank him for everyday help.

What I Think About Celebrations

I would like to talk about celebrations.  Of course, I celebrate my family’s birthdays and my friends’ birthdays.  June 26^th was my younger sister’s 17th birthday.  We had sushi delivered and had a birthday party at home.  We ate sushi, deep-fried chicken and cake while drinking juice.  June 17^th was Father’s day.  In this year, I, my sister and my brother presented my father “zinbei” in a body.  Zinbei is light cotton summer clothing consisting of knee-length shorts and short-sleeved jacket, often worn at festivals.  My sister presented him a handkerchief, too. We, my family ate cake which my mother bought at delicious cake shop.  May 13^th was Mother’s day.  May 12^th was my father’s birthday, so I cooked a custard pudding tart for them. After my and my brother's failure in exams, my family celebrated us doing our best.  I and my brother were happy, so Now, we do our best at present school.  In my family, we usually celebrate as often as we can.  I would like to celebrate more things in my life.  I don’t think celebrating isn't a waste of time because it gives me power.  I like to celebrate with someone.  It goes without saying that my family, I like to do with my friends, too.  When it comes to celebrating with my friends, we usually celebrate when my friend get a boyfriend or girlfriend.  In their memorial day, I sometimes mail them. “I wish you the best!”  I feel happy to see them spend happily.  Of course, I celebrate my friend’s birthday.  June 8^th was my friend’s birthday.  I and the other my friends prepared confectioneries and I cooked cookies for her.  I was glad to see her rejoice to see cookies.  After all, I like to celebrate because celebrating is happy, especially celebrating with someone!

Favorite places

I would like to write about my favorite places. My favorite places are hot springs, especially suisyun in Mashiki, Kumamoto. There is near shopping mol kurea, and it takes about 30 minutes from my house. I hardly go there because it is far but I have a time and want to go there. Six months ago, I finally got driver’s license and can go there by myself. The other day, I went there with my mother and had a relax time there. In suisyun, there are many kinds of hot springs and I can enjoy having a relax time. In 2nd floor, I can enjoy ganbanyoku while reading comics and magazines. I like relaxing and I like to go there. In restaurant, I can eat various food. I like noodles so I often eat udon there. In addition, I can go shopping after or before hot springs. Sometimes I have a relax time in there and go shopping. Thought suisyun is far from my house, I have very good time there. And I want to go there. 
If I want to take hot spring in night, I often go sironoyu near my house. There is the Kumamoto Castle near my house, so sironoyu is near my house. It takes about 10 minutes from my house. I often go there by myself or with my sister. Sometimes I go there with my mother. I can eat delicious foods there too. I can take ganbanyoku there too but the size is smaller than suisyun. After take a bath, I like to drink coffee there. During summer vacation, I went there by myself and I took a colder hot spring. There were a few children there. The children came there with their grandmother, and they swam there. They thought the colder hot spring was so like pool. It was a lot of fun. I like children and hot springs, so I had a special time with the children in there, of course I didn’t swim, I did watched them. 
My friends like to go to hot springs, so I like to go there with my friends. During summer vacation, I couldn’t go there with them because I’m not in Kumamoto, so I want to go there in the future. Winter comes, so warmful is good I think. Taking a bath slowly is good for health I think. I’m looking forward! There are many hot springs in Kumamoto. One of my friends work at a hot spring. I want to go there someday. The area is famous for hot springs. There are many customers. I proud of it. I like Kumamoto, and I really want to enjoy it. The area is far from my house but I go there in near future.
