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!!

Learning Many Things

Today, a computer is nessesary for our life. There are computers everwhere we go. Therefor we have to know how to use it and use it well. I also use it everyday in the various ways because it is so useful. Besides I learn with the computer at my school. I will explain about my way to use computer.

First, I often use it for my studies. When I write a report, I use Microsoft Word. I have many report every weekend, so I have to it as early as possible. Typing in the computer is faster than when I write on my hands. What's more, I can correct my writing easily if I use the computer. In the case of hand writing, I have to erase my sentences and I have to write same things again. It is waste of time. I can say writing reports with Word is efficient. I use the computer not only when I write reports. I make my blog. It is one of my school assignments in order to improve my writing English skill. Now, I can write English without hesitation. Therefore, I want to say I use the computer for my studies. I learned how to use well Word, and make blog. I mean I can study effectively with using the computer.

Second, I use it for research. I have to research in order to write a good reports. I use the Internet when I research somethings. It is so useful that I research what I don't know. I can get many information with it easily and the information will be much enough to write a report. This is the reason why I use the Internet when I research somethings. However, there are too much information. Some of them is not true. We have to be careful to get information with the Internet. It is not good for you that you use the information without knowing whether it is true or not. You have to judge you can believe it or not. Therefor I can say, the Internet is so useful to get information what you don't know, but you have to judge whether you can say that is true, or not.

Third, I use it for my entertainments. I like to use Facebook. Do you know Facebook? It is social network service site made in America. It is used also in Japan since May, 2008. I can connect with the people who live in other countries. I have many friends such as American, Canadian, British, Sweden, and so on, on the Facebook. I can chat with them, send e-mail join the community. I often upload my photos and share with them. I communicate with many people in English, so it is good training for me. I can learn English with enjoying when I use Facebook with computer.

Fourth, there are many useful applications in the computer. I can practice my typing with Justhome, it is one of software. The practice is a kind of game, so I am not tired of it. I use it and improve my typing speed. After I am used to typing in English, I often use Power Words. It is the game to increase my vocabulary. I is separated by level, so I can start appropriate level. I can check the words that I couldn't answer because records are input in the computer. I can memorised the words smoothly. I mean I can train my typing and vocabulary skill with computer.

Finally, I often spend my free time with computer. I look for interesting video by You-Tube, listen to music, and so on. Sometimes, I learn how to use Excel with the computer because it is basic tool in the computer. I will use it in the future.

You have already know, the computer is so useful. It is connected with our daily life. We have to know how to use it, and know good way to use. It is sometime difficult to use, but there are many good points to learn with the comoputer. Using the computer, we can work effectively, get many informations, enjoy keping touch with oversea's friends, practice typing, and learn about basic skill about computer. It is nessesary to be able to use computer in the future, so it is good idea to be used to using the computer since now. We can learn many things through the computer. For this reason, I learn with the computer.

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.

Reeeeading!!

Today, I had TOEFL class. Today, I learned how to answer the reading section effectively. Nowadays, my reading score is not good. So, I think about what I should do.

Last time, I could get score in the listening section as good as grammar section. I was not good at listening before. However, I practiced. I often listened to English music, stories, and talked with exchanged students. My teachers gave me some advices and I obeyed it. That is why I could improve my listening skill.

Therefore, I have to read a lot of sentences. I read many books written in English, but they were only novels. That is not enough. I have to read more difficult one, for example, newspaper, reports, and so on. However, what are assignments, what are classes, I don't have any times I can read it. At least, I will read newspaper written in English at the library.

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.

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.

First, "history of American literature" test was second period. I also had to write report about "Huckleberry Finn" until today. I think my study was not enough. I could memorize author and their novels, but I couldn't learn their characteristics. I was disappointed.

Second was "English linguistic". It was difficult to study. It was take much time. I take notes again what teacher and text book said. I tried to write sentences for the test many times. Then I took the test in fourth period. I could did it better than first one, but I didn't satisfied.

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.
