You should start writing blog in long vacation. After starting all classes, not only writing class teacher but also other classes teachers will give you a lot of assignments. It is important to write your blog with planning. In Writing classes, your teacher will teach how to make pages, write essays, and so on. If you are absent from your class, you will be not able to understand how to make or write your blog, so you shouldn’t be absent from your classes.
People who is in re Writing classes, I think you have already known what you should do. In re: Writing Ⅲ, it is not difficult to write 10,000 words. Write one book review, one free-writing and one typing homework every week, and you will finish posting 10,000 words. In re: Writing Ⅳ, you should start to write in summer vacation. I regretted that I didn’t do writing blog in summer vacation. 15,000 words are much more than you think.
I wish you will do good works on Writing classes!

About England!
I learned about England last year, but I have a few things which I couldn't understand. Now, One Direction, English singer group, is very popular in the world. They are very popular in my friends who are in eibei department. They always listen to their songs in lunch time. I also like their songs very much. I often listen to their songs, One Thing, Up All Night, Live While We're Young, What Makes You Beautiful, and so on. When they appeared Music Station, Japanese famous music TV program, I could under stand their English without interpretation. I was very delighted that. I didn't have good impression to England, but after I knew the group, I was interested in it. They introduced English New Years' party, and I wanted to join the party. In the following, I wrote things that I learned from lectures of Mr. Yoshida.
Cambridge University
The capital of Britain
The present Prime Minister of Britain is David Cameron.
The latitude of Britain Kamchatka
Peninsula.
The real name of Britain is the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.
You can graduate from a British university in 3 years.
IRA is the abbreviation of Irish Republican
Army.
The East End is a poor district in London
Anglican Church is the national religion of Britain.
I like the view of England, so I want to see with my eyes. I would like not only studying language, but also learning cultures of England. English which was used in England is difficult, but I want to go there and to study English in the future.

Using cellphone
In my
opinion, using cell phone in public is dangerous. First, when people concentrate
on writing e-mail or speaking with their cell phone, they won’t hear sounds of
surrounding. They may be involved with a traffic accident because they can’t
notice a car is coming. It is also dangerous to walk with listening to music wearing ear phone. It is a violation of traffic regulations. I heard that if you commit the violation, you have to pay a penalty, about 50,000 yen. Next, using cell phone in public is related to Japanese
culture which Japanese people often move in some groups. Most of Japanese
people think they don’t want to be seen they are lonely, so they often take a
communication with someone when they are alone. However, it may make Japanese
society they can’t move alone. Recently, Twitter and facebook are very popular among young people. I have both of their accounts, and often use these application. To communicate with my friends by them. I think it is not bad things, but I'm afraid that people can't communicate with their friends well in the future. Cell phone is very useful, but people should reconsider how to use them.

One day, Mr. Brown decided to hold Valentine sale in his store, but too many people came his store and bought books. Then, he wanted help, and advertise for. Next morning, Miss Button came to his store, and she wanted to help him. Miss Button liked ghosts, cats and mice. She worked very hard. During they worked together, they liked each other. They tried to ask each other to dinner, but they were afraid of being turned down, so they couldn't.
