Rugby

I love to play all of sport !

Actually , when I was a high school student , I played rugby . Because , my older brother played that , when he was a high school student in same school to me . By the way , I didn't play with him , because he is older than me by 7 years . As I saw his game , rugby was much more interesting than I thought . And also , his play was so cool !! In addition to , my brother was chosen as a one of best players in our state and he was captain in his team and ace player . At that time , I thought when I entered high school , I had better have played rugby !



I entered high school and rugby team . Everyday , I was training hard in order to overtake my brother , because he is not only rival but also best player I have ever seen .

When I became a captain , I had some problems such as I have to control my team , take care of team mate , and improve my team or their skill . It was too difficult for me . Everyday , I was thinking these problems rather than training on my self since then .

To be honest , I couldn't become like my brother . My ability or a sense of sport was totally different between me and him . However , I think I could get how to control or influence people .

I understood how to improve motivation in a group . I always thought only how I could become like a my brother , but now , I realized it's not so good for me , because I have another skill different from my brother , so I should have understood that . But I don't have regret on my school days , because at that time , I did the best way to improve my rugby skill under the circumstance . And , I could get skill that how to control or influence people .

In short , I have confidence of rugby and how to control or influence people .
I believe it's good for me .

Time capsules

I think time capsules are a little popular among elementary school in Japan .
It's very interesting , because that makes them remember about childhood . They tend to put picture , letter to themselves time , and toy in time capsules .
Actually , I've never used time capsules , but If I used time capsules , I would put in these things .

1. I want to put wine which made of 2009 into time capsule .
2. I want to put paper which I wrote about prediction .
3. I want to put picture that is with my family , friend , and girlfriend .

What do you want put into time capsules ?

My philosophy of life

Life is study .

It's my philosophy of my life , because my father taught me that . My father is a 54 year old , even he always study everything such as reading , going to business lecture , and going to abroad as a business . He is really active , isn't he ? Because his philosophy of his life is also study . When he told me that he always tried to learn anything from people who are even much younger than him . I was very surprised as I heard that , because I think people tend not to learn anything from people who far younger than them . Either do I .However it's not good for us , because there are so many information in the people . Don't we need to learn from people who are even much more younger than us ?

I always try to think that it was kind of study when I went wrong .
And also , I think all of people can't remember something for a long time . Our brain has to forget our memory in order not to explode in our brain . What would happened , if we could remember bad memory ? We must be nerves every time ....
So , I think we need to study every time otherwise we will forget something .
I want to study for my rest of my life !

"Obama fever is all over the whole world "

Today is a historic day , because Barack Obama become a president of U.S. .
According to this article , everybody is looking forward to seeing that he became a president .
And also , Obama influences people in the world , because he is a first black president and everybody believes that he can change something . Nowadays , world economy is getting worse , so everybody is waiting for leader who can change the global economy .

I also think he can change something , so I will support with him . And also , I've heard about one of his plans which he try to decrease making war .

I think almost Japanese sopport with him , because we try to keep peace , so we agree with that his plan . There are no reason disliking him .

How to improve our English.

It's the biggest issue for us .

I've been here for 6 months , so I realized what kind of study is good or not .

1. Always listen English . As you know , we are in U.S. for studying English , so we don't need to speak own language and also touch our country's information .
2. Enjoy studying English . It's very important for students , because interest makes us study hard .
3. Image your future . That means you should image that you can speak English fluently , if you do that , you probably understand or decide what you wanna do in the future .
4. Make rival . When I do something , I always make rival , for example when I played rugby I had rival in my team . We always compared which one is better , so we were getting better each other .
5. Became American . My father has a friend who can speak 14 languages . He told me that the easiest way to get foreign language . That is becoming people who live in their country , so students who wanna get English had better feel like American . We don't need to think about our country's way of speaking when we speak English .
6. Read aloud . My high school teacher said that it was very important . When we do that , we can study reading , listening , and speaking .
7. Make American girl/boyfriend . We have no choice except speaking English .
8. Trying to speak English even if when we talk with people who are same country . People tend to speak own language when they stay for more than 6 months , because speaking own language is comfortable for them . However , it's nonsense , because their purpose is to get English . We had better not forget when we arrive at U.S. , because at that time , we had strong purpose about getting English .
9. Have a specific aim . I always make my aim each month , for example This month's aim is making friends , trying to speak in my class , and using time effectively . I believe people who have a specific dream are better than people who don't have that . And also , we tend to lose our way to accomplish something when we don't have aim .
10. Continue studying . I think It's the best way to get English .

That is my how to improve my English . If you are worried about your English , why don't you try my study of English ?

Today is important for ........

As you know , today we don't have school , because of terrible wind , but .....I think we could go to the school , anyway .
My room mate also was worried about that , because she had to go back her country , so today is important for her
But , she could leave in Honolulu .
To be honest , I'm very sad , because she is like my older sister . After school , we usually talked everything , so I'm sad anyway .

And today is very important for Japanese , because they have exam among student who wanna go to the university . We called that "Center test " . If you wanna go to the high education university like state university , you have to take average 85% such as English , Japanese , History , Biology , Math , and Chemistry . In fact , I already took that test . At that time , I was nerves , because kind of that test is very important . My friend who couldn't go to the university which he/she wanted go took the test . After finish this blog , I'm gonna take that test only English . I hope I can get high score that test .

Inference

There are some inference signals in Korea such as teaching to the tongue by finger . That means " I gonna go back to pick up my wallet when I have no money in the shop " But , my Korean friend said that it was informal nowadays , anyway .
Because , we talked about inferences in the RW class , so that is why I'm writing .

Actually , Japan also has some inference signals , so I gonna tell you about it .
First , If someone clean her/his throat in library , we should be quiet . And also , when we eat food , we usually say " Itadakimasu " that means thank farmer for making food or pray animal . As you know , former have to make food for people and also some animal have to die for people , so that is why we said that and pray it .

Swezerland

I'm tired , because yesterday I talked to my roommate who is from Switzerland for 3 hours .
She has a boyfriend in her country , and also she gonna get married to him !
Actually , we talked about " love " . She said that love was the most important in her life , so after school she always talk to him for a long time , therefore they have to pay 800 dollar each person . It's really expensive , isn't it ? But , she said calling to her boyfriend is very important for her for example if she were a car , she needs gas , so she said gas was calling to her boyfriend .
And also , she said that love had not only positive effect but also negative effect .
In short , I got her advice .

And also she said to me I
had better have needed to think about English . That means we should think how we can use English in the future . She is 25 year old , but I thought she was like a my teacher .

Goodness of Japan 2

Nineth , we have three character such as Chainese , Katakana , and Hiragana letter .
So , that means we can use kind of that character accordingly .

Tenth , we use chopstick anytime .
Ah........ That's it .
I realized I should study Japanese culture more .

Goodness of Japan

I'm from Japan .

When I was there , I have never thought that our country is very good , but I could know what Japan is good for us . Actually , I have been in the U.S. for 6 months , so I could meet so many friends who come from in the world and also that experience makes me notice about goodness of Japan .



I think I'm glad to live in there , because these reasons .



First , there are four season , as you know most country has four season , but in our case , It dramatically change , so that means we can enjoy seeing sight such as hiking mountain or .... something like that .



Second , we have hot springs. As you know , U.S. also has hot spring . Actually I have gone to there in Colorado , but we had to wear swimming pants in order to put in the there .

However , in Japan , we don't need to wear that !! That means everyone is naked ! Of course , women and men are separated .



Third , I already talked about season . We have also food each season . That means we can enjoy eating food each season .



Fourth , Japanese high school students have to wear uniform , so Japanese girls tend to choose the school which has a cute uniform . I like this school rules , because we don't need choose clothes in the morning .



Fifth , Japan has erthqiake , so we need to make strong houses .

I think Japanese houses is stronger than U.S. houses .



Sixth , Japan has many islands , so you can go everywhere if you wanna go .



Seventh , Japan has so many noodle shops . It is easy to eat lunch and diner like a frst food shops

.



Eighth , there are many temple in Japan , so if you are Buddhism , you can go there .
