I have to go to Kikuyo to do my part time jobs. There is very far from my house. It takes about a half an hour. It makes me tired. Maybe I can't have time to relax, but stick it out! To earn money! I have a holiday June 3. The day makes me relax. In addition, I'll practice to play piano and drum. Actually, I have concert in June 12. I haven't played it yet, so I have a lot of things!

my wish

I have a teacher training course,so I have a time to write something to blackboard. I'm not good at writing. When I was an elementaly school child, I had practiced calli
graphy for 2yaers. But I quited it. I have bad handwriting still,so I want to write a neat hand, so I practiced to write characters. First, I copied a print's character. Next I compared my handwriting with the print's character. Then I found the difference between my handwriting and the print's character, and I wrote over again. Now I'm realy envious to have a neat handwriting person!
I really want to have neat handwriting!

Dear Host Family
My name is Daisuke. I’m 19 years old, and a university student in Kumamoto prefecture. I like to play piano, so if there is a piano, I want to do it everyday. I’m not good at cooking, but I will help you with your cooking. This is the first time to stay with a host family, and to go abroad, so I’m looking forward to staying with you. I’m also nervous, because I’m afraid that can I make myself understood in English, but it’s important for me to develop skills in my English.


I want to speak English more fluently. That’s why I decide to go here. Have you ever accepted foreign students in your home? If you’ve done it, please tell me about them. How many members do you have in your family? Are there boys and girls who are close my age? Are there any other abroad students? I want to know these things.


I’ll stay 6 weeks with you. This is a short time to stay with you, so I want to get along with you. I want to go to sightseeing as much as possible. Where do you recommend the place? I’ll visit there.


I know there are some different customs, so please tell me the different things. I have to know to be used to stay in your home. I must feel their difference between our culture and your culture. To know these things, my knowledge will be better. I’ll be puzzled what to do in your home first, but please teach me how to live in there and their difference of culture. These things make me better. I’m looking forward to meet you.


See you soon! Daisuke

BR 1-03 The Statue of Liberty

I chose “The statue of Liberty” , because I’m interested in the title
A lady stands in New York Harbor. She is as tall as skyscraper. She is called the Statue of Liberty.
The Statue of Liberty was a present from the people of France to the people of the United States.
A Frenchman made the lady. He copied his mother’s face for his statue. First he made a small statue. Then he made bigger and bigger.
Then a ship carried it from France to New York.
Today, the Statue of Liberty still welcomes people to America - the land of the free.
I didn’t know America received the lady from France. It was surprised at me. I found lady means “The Statue of Liberty”. Now lady is symbol as freedom. There was a secret story to make her.
This interesting thing is the lady’s model was the author’s mother.
I recommend this book, because it tells you about American history.
