12/30-1/1

Good morning!

What did you do during the year-end and New Year holidays? I went back to my hometown Hakodate. In December 30^th, I went to Jozankei to meet my family and my father took me Hakodate by his car. In New Year’s EVE, I went to my grandmother’s house with my family. I ate sushi and Chinese food and drunk beer. I enjoyed talking to my family, too. It was very fun because I have not met them for a long time. After eating, we went home and watched TV. Gaki-tsuka was very interesting TV program and we laughed. While I watched it, I ate toshikoshi-soba. When New Year came, I was watching TV. I slept at two o’clock.

The New Year’s Day, I went to the mall to buy a lucky bag. I woke up at seven and left my house at eight. I rode a bus. When I got the mall, many people lined up in front of the entrance. I worried about that I could not buy a lucky bag. Opening the door, I hurried up to go to the shop. Almost people went to other shops, so I could buy a lucky bag which I wanted. I was very happy.

Thank you!

Good evening!

Last Sunday, my cram school’s meeting was held. We had it before a training session. It was very important meeting because we could know about students’ date and ways of our lessons. Before it, I divided many materials. A lot of materials were sent from the front office. We had to divide one by one. After dividing, the meeting was held. However, I was sleepy and tired. I wanted to finish quickly. It took about two and half hours. After it, we went to Odori to attend a drinking party. It is usual practice after a meeting. We enjoyed drinking. However, a woman teacher got drunk because she drunk a lot. Her face was pale and she could not walk alone. Other teacher decided to bring her home. I cared for her before we got to Kanjo-dori-higashi station. She was awake by the time of getting there. I was really tired.

On Wednesday, the fourth period’s lesson was canceled, so I decided to go to eye clinic to buy contact lens and new glasses. I could buy glasses only 3990 yen! It was very reasonable. I could buy contact lens at a low price, too. It will be made up tomorrow. I’m looking forward to wearing new glasses.

Thank you!

Last Saturday

Good evening!

Last Saturday, I met my homeroom teacher in my high school days and talked to him at Central. He performed his calligraphy work to calligraphy exhibition, so he came to Sapporo from Hakodate. I heard about it from my senior. At first, I had no mind to go to this exhibition. However, I received a text message from him and he wrote “If you have a time, please come!”, so I decided to go to it. After second period’s class finished, I went to Central. However, he was not in it because he went out to eat lunch. I didn’t get hold of him when I went to, so I waited for him about thirty minutes. While I waited, I saw some calligraphy, but I didn’t know. Thirty minutes later, he came back to it and we held a reunion. He didn’t change and looked so fine. We talked about recent events, my high school days and my friends. We chatted one and half hour. I spent fun time and promised to go to a bar someday. I’m going to meet him at my school reunion before the Coming-of-Age-Day. I’m looking forward to attending it because I can meet many my friends and teachers.

Thank you!

Last Saturday

Good evening!

I attended a symposium about teacher training course last Saturday. Some people told us about teaching practice and employment examination for teachers. We will do teaching practice in fourth grade, so it is a long way off. However, attending this was very useful for me and I don’t have to get into a flurry. I also think about I have to make effort to be a teacher. After this, I took TOEIC in this school. Two weeks before, I took it open test, but I want to try it. For me, listening test was easier than TOEIC open test. I spent a lot of time for Reading test, so there was little time left, less than five minutes. I have an aversion to grammar and like to answer long sentences. I have to increase my vocabulary and grammar skills. If I have a chance, I’d like to take TOIEC before third grade. At night, I went to yakiniku restaurant with my senior. I met him first time in ages, about three months. He is one year older than me and he has studied hard because he is going to take an entrance examination for graduate-school next year. He can’t do his part-time job because of it. We enjoyed talking, eating, and drinking. We are going to meet next week. I’m looking forward to meeting him.

Thank you!

last Wednesdays

Good evening!

Last Wednesday, I went to some places because of the Labor’s Day.. First, I went to Tower Records to buy a CD. I bought Ikimono-gakari’s new single. I’m a fan of Ikimono-gakari. I have all their albums and some singles. My favorite songs are “kimagure romantic” and “kimi-ga-iru” and I recommend you. Then, I went to Sapporo station. I wanted to some clothes, but there were not clothes which I like. So, I gave up buying. Next, I rode a subway and went to Fukuzumi. There is Ito-Yokado in there. I went shopping. I bought some alcohol such as six-pack beer and shochu-based beverage and some food. I like drink very much. So, I’d like to participate to some drink party with my friends. After finished shopping, I went to home. I relaxed at home. However, it wasn’t long because I had a part-time job from the early-evening to the night. Every Wednesdays, I had two lessons. In the first lesson, I taught three people, because some two students were absent due to catch a cold. Next lesson, I taught five people. They were very fine and studied very hard. However, I was very tired. I got my home at eleven. I slept quickly.

Thank you!

Last weekends

Good evening!

On Saturday, I went to a lecture meeting with my friends. The theme was “Operation Tomodachi.” Mr. Tayler who was a consul of America came to our university and talked about it and relation between Japan and United States. He spoke to us in easy English, so we could understand what he said. His speech was very funny and interesting. There are several problems between Japan and United states, so I have to think about their relationship.

On Sunday, I went to a beauty salon to cut my hair. It had three months left since I was cut my hair. Recently, I went back to Hakodate many times, so I went to another beauty salon located in Hakodate. I went to a beauty salon for the first time in one year. However, my haircutter took a rest that day, so I was cut my hair by other haircutter. I talked to her about my part-time job and Christmas. My hair was shorter than before and it was very slimmed-down. In the night, I watched the baseball game on TV. It was the Japan Series between the Hawks and the Dragons. It was very exciting game. Next year, I want the Fighters to get in the Japan Series.

Thank you!

Symposium

Good evening!

Last Saturday, the symposium was held at Hokkaido University. I went to there to listen it with my friend. When we got to there, we looked for Enyu-gakusha, the place where the symposium was held. We thought that the image of Enyu-gakusha was an old building because the name of Enyu-gakusha sounded like old. So, we looked for an old building. However, we get lost. At last, we got to there and it was a very new building! We were very surprised. When we entered in, the symposium had been begun. We see Mr.Zeff. It was also surprised. He noticed us and waved our hands each other. The symposium was very interesting for me. The most interesting theme was the motivation of students. It was the difference between high motivation and low motivation. I have worked as a cram school’s teacher and I want to be a teacher, so I have thought what strategy is good to raise student’s motivation. I considered going to graduate school a few. After the symposium, we went to Sapporo station. I wanted to buy a book about motivation. However, there were no books. I was very sad. If there are good books about motivation, I certainly buy it.

Thank you!
