I have soooo bad condition...

My condition is so bad. I can't stop cough, have a headache, run nose, and so on. But I have to go to the classes of course...

In this semester, I took ten subjects. There are some English class, such as business English, Mass Media English, Honor's seminer English. I will go to Canada to study, so I have to be using to speaking these words. I chose the some classes whose teacher is native speaker, so I hope my listening skill is improved, The class that I especially like is translation class. I have not translate, and don't know about it well. However, translation is one of general job for our department. This is why I took this class. This week, I have a assginment in this class, but it was the first translation for me. It wasn't easy, but I could really enjoy it during the class.

This semester is not easy for me, because I have to improve my skill until I go to Canada. I have not enough. I will do my best!!

Career Design Class

Today, I had a supplementary lecture in second and third period. The class was career design class. I took the class because I thought I had to consider well about my future. I can't image my future now because I don't know "getting the job" well. How should I write resume, care in interview test, and so on. Besides I have to know the circumstance of society. Therefore I decided to take this class.

This time, the theme of the class was self-understanding. I thought what I am good at, I am working on in my university life, and I will do after ten years. It was more difficult work than I thought. I couldn't answer those questions. However, as I wrote down what I did in the past, I found my new characteristics. I have studied English for a long time, and I really like it. I can enjoy my unversity life, and make many friends through studying English. Also I like people. I like to talk, hang out with people.

I learn self-understanding is important to think my futer. I can know what I need to do for the future by understanding my self well. I also could find what I want to do. I want to use my English skill, and cantact with many people. Therefore, I have to improve my English and communication skills in my university life.

English thesis class

Yesterday, I had a Mr, Tomei's class after school. I learned how to write official assignment. We practiced it by writing self introduction. We had to write it as handing out to teacher. I could write many sentences, but it was not official. First, I didn't write names, class name, date and receiver's name. I should have written them top of the paper. Second, I had to write it with double spaces. It was the first day, so we didn't care about our grammer, but maybe my grammer should improve. There are many things that I should learn before going abroad.
In any case, I have to improve my English skill, and prepare getting job because I can not do it next year. I will be busy, but I'll just do it.

Busy Monday

Yesterday, I was really busy. I had five classes. Actually, I had six classes on Monday, the class was canceled in the fifth period. However, I had a class in the sixth period, so I could not go home...

The first class was psychology. It is not my major, but I like it so much. Psychology is the study that we learn about human feeling by studying scientifically. I had not thought human's feeling can be understood by science, but now, I know we can do it in some of the case. It is so interesting.

The second period was American Literature. I watched the movie whose title was "The Great Gastby". I have read the book before. It was a sad story. It is a good story as a American literature, but Gatsby was too pure and poor. I prefer happy end story to it.

I had a Intercultural Communication Theory in the third period. It is important class for me, because how to communicate with foreign people is necessary skill when I go abroad. I learned about Culture shock at that time. We will face to it when we experience more cross culture. However, I know it is not bad effect. I want to overcome it, and adapt to life of Canada.

The fourth period was English linguistic. It is one of the most difficult subjects. However, I like it . It let me to notice what I have never thought. I learned semantics yesterday. The word have deep meanings so I will write this blog more seriously. I have to pick up the words that much with what I want to say.

The Last class is Japanese language teacher's seminar. I have taken the class since spring semester. I studied about phonetics. How difficult to understand Japanese language pronunciation!! Do I have to explain to the students?? I need more efforts.

Finally, I went to exchanged student dometory after school because the welcome party was held there. There were many people, and we could enjoy eating, talking, listening to music, and so on.
I could talked to many new friends. They have wonderful skills each of them. I want to know them more!!

Yesterday was busy day. However, I could enjoy at the party. I went home at ten o'clock, but in fact I wanted to stay there longer. Most of my friends stayed there more time and kept enjoying. Next time, I will enjoy more.

Staaaaaaaaaart

Today, school started finally. I had a six classes today. It was so hard because I have not studied such a long time during summer vacation. Besides, I have studied only English during vacation. I am afraid of forgetting about the other classes.

The first period was psychology. I like the class. To know about human's heart is difficult, but we need to know in order to look at myself. We can know about own thinking. At first, I went to same classroom as spring semester. However, the teacher didn't come. I was wondered. And then, my friend told to me that the classroom was changed. I harried to go the right classroom. After that, I took the class in no problem.

However, the same things was happened in second period. It was American literature The class room was changed again. We had to go the right room. I thought I have to check the wall again and again.


The third period was cross cultural communication. It is so good for me. I can learn about the sense of value, differences from thinking, and so on. We learn how to communicate well with the foreign people. It is so useful, and good study for me.

The forth period was the Linguistic of English. It is difficult. All of linguistic is interesting, but difficult. I have to listen to my teacher, or I can't understand. However, the teacher always help me. Therefore I can keep trying.

The fifth period was career desing class. I heard about what I should do during university life in order to get a job. It is good for me.

The last class was Seminar of Japanese teacher. I was tired at that time, but I could say many opinions during the class. Japanese is difficult. But to teach Japanese is more difficult than it, I thought.

The first day was so busy. But I have to do it. I will go to Canada, so I want to get many knowledge as possible I can. I want to talk many things with many people, so I require to know many things. i will keep trying.

My First Teaching


Last Monday, I had a Japanese teacher seminer. I did the simulation class. I mean I taught Japanese in the class. It was about thirty minutes class, and I taught to four classmate. Today, I will talk about my first teaching.

First, I will talk about before the class. I had perpared for the class for a long time. I handed out my teaching plan the two weeks before the day. At first, I couldn't image my plan by myself. My teacher gave me some advices for me about the first plan. I improved my plan, and sent e-mail to my teacher again. This time, I created my imageand I could wrote most of idea for the class. However, I thought it was boring. It has too simple and I couldn't make my originality. I met my teacher four days before. I told my opinion, and talked the matter over with her. Then, I made the plan again along with her advices. I increased conversation with student because conversation is good training for learning languages and one-side talking is so borinf for students. Besides, I made a lot of letter cards and picture cards. And then, I drew a few pictures on my own. It took much time. I took for about fifteen hours all of my preparation.

Finally, the day when I had to teach came. I was nervous. I practiced two times before the class, but I didn't thing it was good. Howevver, I imaged the real situation. If I express the tention, the foregin sudents might be confused. Therefotre, I took deep breath, and tried to be calm. When I started to teach, I was almost OK. I could do it smoothly. But, the happning was occured. I skipped a few plans. I had to do more practice, but I cut them. I thought what I should do at the moment, and continue the class, because if I returened the practices, the students would be confused. They could have not understand what they had done.

After that, I made a small mistakes, for example, I missed the pronunciations. I useally speak Owari-ben because I grow up in Aichi prefecture. However, I could finish my first Japanese language class. I was busy, so I thought I couldn't prqactice enough. If I had practiced more, I would have been clam more. I learned that it is difficult to teach Japanese. I need many preparations in order to do good class. I will have one more class in fall semester. Next time, I will do better class than this class.

My thinking about blogging

I will talk about my opinion about blogging. When I heard I had to write blog as homework, I thought it was too difficult for me. However, I changed my opinion. It is good for me. There are two reasons.

At first, I can be used to using the computers. Before, I didn't use it so much. Now, I write many blogs, so I use it every day. I can work effectively better than before. And then,I know I will have to use the computer in the future, so this is goo for me. I can be used to using computers.

Second, I can be good at writing and reading blog. I write it fifth in a week at least. I mean I write English sentences almost every day. Besides, I often read my classmates blog. I can train my reading and writing skill. It is so fun, but I can improve my skill surely.

I am so busy nowadays. However, I try to keep writing blog. If I can use it well, I can complete my job more effectivly. Using computer is nessecary skill for my future. I think I type faster than before because of this blogs. Now, this is my enjoyment!!
