The last post

Today I finished the last test! Maybe, I can pass today's test. After the test, I went to the library to borrow books because I can borrow for about 2 months. I borrowed 3 books today. One of them is written in English. I'll stick it out!!!

Spring vacation starts!!! I want to do part-time job and save much money. Now, I have only one part-time job. I'll find other part-time job. If I can, I want to work at a cram school.
I have some plans, so I can't wait special days.

Tomorrow, it is the last word count day. I have to reach 15,000 words. I kind of regret that I post free-writing, book reviews, typing homeworks on my blog every day.

The last test and task

Tomorrow, I have the last test! The last test is politics. However, tomorrow's low is minus three degrees and the high is five degrees, so I don't want to go out... I'll dress warmly.

My tests will finish tomorrow, but I have to write a paper on English literature. For that, I chose a book written by John Ernst Steinbeck, The Grapes of Wrath. He was born in California. He wrote books about poor immigrants. In 1939, his work, The Grapes of Wrath, won a Pulitzer Prize. His masterpieces are East of Eden, Of Mice and Men and so on. In 1962, he won a Nobel Literature Prize.He is a grate American novelist. Please enjoy his novel someday.

After I finish this assignment, I want to clean and redecorate my room.

DETECTIVE KONAN

I like DETECTIVE KONAN and rent about three DVDs every week. Almost every night, I watch the DVD of KONAN.
Yesterday, I watched the DVD, "DETECTIVE KONAN-the wrecked ship in the sky-(名探偵コナン 天空の難破船)". This is the 14th movie of KONAN and was shown in 2010. The DETECTIVE KONAN is made by Gosho Aoyama. He got married to Minami Takayama who is a voice artist of KONAN. There are a lot of thrilling scenes in this story. I like the best of all KONAN storys. Please try to watch!!!

Writing test

Tomorrow, I have a test for the 5th period. A class of Kyoushoku. Maybe it is a difficult test. This test starts from 4 p.m. so I can study for the test for a long time. I want to get high score! There are only two tests left. I'll do my best!

I had a Writing 4 test on Wednesday.
We asked three questions from Mr. Beaufait.

These are my answers.

About Developing Awareness
My writing has changed this semester. In this semester, I posted many works on my blog, for example, Typing homeworks, book reviews, quick posts and so on. I can write works quickly than before, so I think that my writing has changed. Quick posts particularly influence.

About Facing Challenges
My major challenges are quick posts and book reviews. In this semester, I posted quick posts more than spring semester. Thanks to this challenge, I can write more quick than before. When I posted writing at home, I tried to write quickly. In spring semester, I read many picture books, but I read many books that tell nature, technology, famous person and so on. I tried to read books that are different from genre of books I read in spring semester. I can get skill that I summarize.

About Achieving Satisfaction
In this semester, I have not achieved personal satisfaction through online writing. I can write easily with PC and get high skills for typing. However, without person who checks my writing, I can’t confirm grammar. I don’t know my grammar is correct or wrong. I wanted someone to check my grammar.

My glasses...

Look at this!!!
This is my glasses. Maybe, I have used this glasses for about 5 years. A few days ago, I broke this glasses... Oh no... At home, I took out contact lenses and washed them. After that, I felt around for glasses. It is difficult for me to find glasses because of my bad sight. Then, I trampled something under the hips. I looked down with a sense of foreboding. My prediction proved right! It is my glasses. I was disappointed.

I have had bad sight and have worn a pair of glasses for 12 years. When I go to school and go out, I put in contact lenses. However, at home, I wear glasses. Glasses is so important for me. I have another glasses, but it is one that I used before. That is why it is with thin lenses. I want to buy new glasses immediately.

a Book I bought


Look at this picture. This is a book I bought a few days ago. Do you know the man on the book cover? He is Akira Ikegami and he is 61 years old. Recently, he often appears on TV. After graduation from the university, he entered NHK company as a journalist and he became a chief of the press station. In 2005, he resigned from NHK and became a free journalist. He is popular among people because he is good at explain history, politics, economy, international situation and international problems simply. I am poor in politics and economy, but I like to watch TV programs he appears. He is a walking dictionary. I want to be a person like him.
There are a lot of articles on a newspaper. A newspaper is written with difficult passages and expressions, so it is hard to understand it for us, we are not specialists. I think that newspaper should be written with easy expressions. If it is easy to read, some more young people read newspaper.
I haven't read this book yet. When spring vacation starts, I will start to read it. Before that, I have to think about examinations. I can't wait spring vacation!

Speaking Test

On January 18th, I took an examination for Speaking 4. I was nervous before I took the test. We divided into groups including 3 members. I took the test with Ms. Noriko and Mr. Hamamoto. We had to have a conversation about Mexican restaurant, Chinese restaurant, Japanese restaurant and Italian restaurant. I had to recommend Mexican restaurant to them. Before the test, I thought about what I said, so I could talk smoothly. I felt like the test took short time. After the test, I did recording for presentation of My Name with Nami and Ayaka F at the building 14. I tried over and over again, but it didn't end successfully. However, I did recording many times. I was tired, because recording is needed concentration. Around 7 p.m. we finished recording. When we left the building 14, it was so cold.

Today, I took an examination for Reading 4.
It was a vocabulary test. The test covered 1000 words. I got better score than I thought, so I was relieved.

On Saturday, I have two examinations. I am sure that the two tests are difficult for me... I am nervous... I will study hard tomorrow. I'll do my best!!!
