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.

BR 2-13: Mouse Tales
"'Hello rainbow!' they both said together." (p. 31)
There are seven stories in this book. I liked the story of Very Tall Mouse and Very Short Mouse the best. Very Tall Mouse and Very Short Mouse are good friends. At first, I couldn't understand why they were good friends. Their field of vision were different, for example when Very Tall Mouse saw birds, Very Short Mouse saw bugs, and when Very Tall Mouse saw ceiling, Very Short Mouse saw floor. However, in the end of the story, they saw a rainbow together. I found that they saw a world with each other, so they were good friends. I also liked the story of the wishing well. It was strange story. A mouse threw some pennies, the well said "ouch!" The mouse felt strange, and she threw her pillow into the well not to be hurt him, and she threw a penny into the well. Then, the well made many wishes of the mouse. Every one of her wishes came true! I really want the well.

My favorite dish
My
favorite dish is stew. I often eat it in winter. The reason why I like it is
not only delicious, but also healthy. There are many kinds of vegetables in
stew, potatoes, carrots, onions and so on. My mother sometimes put Chinese
cabbage in it. Recently, my mother’s stew is used taros instead of potatoes. It
is very good taste because of simmering. I have made stew for myself before. I
could cook it very well. It wasn’t difficult for me to make it. I cut vegetables,
fried them in a pot, poured water in it, put roux and simmer for a while. It
takes a little time to make it, but I was interested. If the stew is left over,
I can eat gratin. I put torn bread in a gratin dish, pour the stew, put a slice
of cheese on, and bake it by a toaster oven. It is delicious, too! I recommend
this way to eat rest of stew.

My favorite color
My
favorite color is purple because my birthstone is amethyst. Purple was used by people
of high rank in the past because it is difficult to get natural purple dye
then. I like purple flower, for example violets and pansies. Violets’ codes are
modesty, honesty and little happiness. Pansies’ codes are meditation, pure love
and peace of heart. When I was an elementary school student, I used to see
violets in my way to school, and there are many pansies in my grandparents’ garden.
I liked to see them every day. Also, I like purple clothes. I have purple sweatshirt,
purple jacket and purple pants. Contrary to general belief, purple matches
other colors, black, brown, red, blue, and so on. I felt happy when I put my
favorite color in fashion. I bought a purple rucksack recently. I liked it very
much. I use it frequently to put my textbooks and notebooks. It is useful for
me.

My favorite class
My
favorite class is for the English teaching methods. I was taken lectures by Mr.
Takaki. He is a professor of Kumamoto University. When I met him for the first
time, he looked strict. He spoke to us in English all the time of first class. I
worried about that I could understand his lectures in the term. However, I took
some of his classes, I got more and more pleasantly to take them. I found that
he liked talking. He told us many things. Of course, I learned about teaching
English to children. He sometimes made small talk. He told that a famous singer
who he made a speech in English together, and making osechi, Japanese
traditional food which was eaten in New Year’s Day with his wife. It is not
only his talking, but also learning English teaching method. First, we made a
group with two or three classmates. Then, we collate contents of
text book with the group members, and expressed it in class by turn. It was
hard for me, but I could consider the good way to teach English to students. I knew the best way is very difficult to carry out. In the next fiscal year, we will take his another class. I'm looking forward to learning good English teaching methods again.

My favorite place I've been
My
favorite place is my grandparents’ house. It is in Koshi City. I lived there
with my grandparents before, and my family moved to an apartment. It is very
large and has a yard. In the garden, there are some kinds of flowers and a
persimmon tree. When my family lived there, my mother grew roses in the garden,
and they are very beautiful and had a good smell. My grandparents gather their
children and grandchildren in New Year’s Day and Bon, the Buddhist festival of
the dead, every year. I'm looking forward to seeing my grandparents and cousins in their
house. I had good memories in the house. When I lived in the house, I went to
Koshi elementary school from there every day. I liked the way to school. I had
a key of the house then, but the time I went home, my grandmother was usually
in the house, and she was waiting for my coming home. When I was a junior high school student, I some times went there to study. I liked studying there. There is the house in a quiet neighborhood, so I could concentrate on studying. I didn't have my own desk for studying then, so I had to study a table for having meals. When I study, my grandmother used to give some snacks and cheer up my studying. I was happy. Recently, I have part time jobs every weekend, so I can't go my grandparents' house. I want to go there in this spring vacation.

My favorite elementary school memory
I
remember that I would often to do my homework with my classmates after school. My
elementary school teacher gave us a lot of homework. We have some workbooks,
for example Chinese characters and arithmetic. I didn't like to do them, so I couldn't keep the deadline for submitting my homework. My homeroom teacher made students
who didn't finish doing their homework like me to do it after school. I stayed
in my classroom, and I did my homework until about 6:00 p.m. with my classmates.
My friend also didn't her homework, so she used to make our teacher angry. Our
teacher said her to finish doing own homework after school, but she wanted to go
home quickly, so she disregard our teacher’s words and went home as she
pleased. She would often annoy him. When I was kept after school and finished
my work, the teacher gave me some snacks as a reward.
[153 words/8003 words]
My favorite music
I like
K-pop. I often listen Girls’ Generation, 2NE1, After School and f(x). I like Girls’
Generation’s I Got a Boy, 2NE1’s Go Away, After School’s Bang!
and f(x)’s Pinocchio. K-pop singers dance very well. Their dance is so
cool. The members of Girls’ Generation and After School are beautiful and slim.
I like the words of 2NE1’s songs. I can sympathize with their songs. They often
sing feelings when they disappointed in love. “Go away” means “out of my
head.” When they unrequited love, they can’t forget their boyfriends who say
good-bye, and girls want their boyfriends to go out their memories. I was
encouraged by their songs. f(x)’s members are very fashionable. I like their hairstyle
and clothing very much. I always refer their fashion. I felt happy when I
listen to K-pop. How about listening to K-pop? You will be carried away by
their songs and performances.

BR 2-12: Get Well, Good Night
"They slurped until every drop was gone." (p. 45)
This story's Good Night was very kind to three little dragons. He noticed that the dragons were sick in bed, and he acted to help them. He went to see a wizard to get a medicine at first. The wizard made really strange medicines. First, he stirred fish scales, old snails, fingernails and lizard tails. Next, he made a soup with frog slime, old grime, a rusty dime and a rotten lime. These two kinds of soup looked unappetizing, so three dragons didn't want to eat them. The Good Night tried to make them having the soup because he wanted them to get well, and he tasted the seasoning of these soup instead of them to tell dragons that these soup were good medicine for them. Of course these soup were bad taste! Finally, he visited to his mother to ask what to do to curing of dragons' sick. She made chicken soup. I was surprised that, but dragons slurped all of the soup, and they got well.

This story was very interesting. Four short stories are in another story. A mouse was wise, but a weasel was simple-minded. The weasel tried to eat the mouse, and the mouse told him four stories not to be eaten. I like the story about the thorn bush. An old lady who was in this story was so pretty. There was a thorn bush growing in her living-room chair, and she told about that to a policeman. He suggested her to cut off the thorn bush. However she didn't want to pull it out of her chair, but she worried about the thorn bush's sick. The policeman advised to her that she should give water to it. She did that, little buds came out, they opened up, and they became large roses. I was impressed with this story!

This owl was funny. He opened the door of his house, and told to wind, "come in and warm yourself for a while," but the wind with snow did a great deal of damage to his house. He was angry with the winter's behavior, so he said "do not come back!" When he was in bed , he found two bumps under his blanket at the bottom of his bed. They were his own feet, but he didn't notice that. He was afraid of the bumps, and he couldn't be asleep. I liked the story of Owl and the moon the best. He thought that the moon and he were best friends because the moon was following him. I liked a phrase of him, "it is always a little sad to say good-bye to a friend." I sometimes feel that, too.

I love the story of Cinderella. She was made to work like a servant by her stepmother and sisters. While her stepsisters prepared to go to the Ball of the castle, she gave up going there with them. However, she really wanted to go to the Ball, so she wished. Godmother heard her wish, she used magic, she made a carriage of a pumpkin and Cinderella's beautiful dress. Thanks of Godmother, Cinderella was able to go to prince's castle. I thought Cinderella worked hard every day without complaint, so Godmother help her as a reward. I learned that however hard, if I work hard, it would happen some good things! I'll do my best for anything to catch my happiness. By the way, in the end of the story, stepmother said to her daughters who missed to catch a chance to marry prince, "it's all your fault for having such big feet." This phrase was funny, but my feet are also big, so I worried that I missed a chance to be happy.

KGU friends
I think friends are very important to people. If they
don’t have any friends, they can’t enjoy their life. For example, when they
have some hardships, they consult their friends, and they will be relieved, so
they should help each other. KGU eibei's friends are my treasure. If it had not been for their existence, I wouldn't spend delightful campus life like now. They have each personality, and they always make me laughing. Every Monday's lunch time, we have lunch together. We can't have lunch together every day, so Monday is very valuable time for me. Rina, Manami and I have lunch every Wednesday. We named this time Wednesday Talk. In this time, we talk about our ideal boyfriend, favorite artists and dreams. This time is very interesting. It is one of my favorite events. I can give vent to my stress. I want to talk more with my friends, and I wish to be friends after graduating from university.

How to control your angry
How often are you angry in your life? I'm always careful not to be angry to people who are around me, my friends, my family and so on. In this time, I will
tell you how to control your angry. First, you should change your mind. Don’t
assume that you are absolutely right. If you aren't wrong, try to tell your
opinion to someone. At this point, remember to calm down. Then, clean the
fuzz out of the head. Imagine that irritating things are caught in a big
ant-lion and your feel refreshed. When you have some irritating things, you
should forget them as soon as you can. The best way of controlling your angry
may sleep deeply. I can forget my irritation after I sleep well. I think sleep is very important to control myself. Finally, you should always think about joyful things. If you have a smile on your face, people will enjoy being with you, and you won't be angry.

Children's Day
There are two traditional main things in Children’s Day. First, we often put carp streamers on a yard because we wish our efforts and success. Carp streamers are designed by a black carp, a red one, and a blue one. These colors signify a father, a mother, and a child. After Children’s Day, we usually put carp streamers for several days. Second, we generally take bathes with iris leaves because we can cleanse ourselves. Iris leaves are one of the medicinal herbs. Children’s Day is based on a Chinese culture.
How to sleep well
I’ll tell you about three things what important for me to sleep well.
First, I don’t eat anything two hours before I go to bed. I hear that eating
something just before we go to bed makes our intestines hard to work, and makes
us difficult to sleep. Also, if you eat something late at night, you are going to put on a lot of weight easily. Second, I turn the small light on. When I was a child, I
was afraid of ghosts, and I can’t sleep without a little light. Fortunately, I
have never seen ghosts. I still have the habit that I can't be asleep soon in a dark room. Finally, I don’t use a pillow. Many people use their own pillow, I know. However, I have a pain in my neck
after I use a pillow, so I don't like using a pillow. If you know good pillows, please tell me it.

My favorite dessert
My
favorite dessert is ice cream. I have liked it since I was a child. When I went
to a nursery school, I wanted to be a clerk of an ice cream shop. Now, my dream
came true. I work an ice cream shop in a shopping mall. There are many kind of
ice cream, and I like to look them. I think ice cream makes people happy. Especially, children love ice cream. Many children come to my ice cream shop with smile. I felt happy to see that, and I take pride in my part time job. There
are many kind of ice cream in the world. For example, vanilla, chocolate,
strawberry, rum-raisin and so on. It is also fun to find ice cream which is my
favorite taste. I like caramel ice cream, so I have made it for myself before. It
was delicious, and my mother and sister were delighted to eat it. I don’t make
ice cream recently. I want to make some kind of them in a free time. I like to
eat ice cream just like it, but I sometimes eat it with cookies. I ladle up ice cream with a
spoon, and it put on a cookie. Ice cream suit various sweets.

My favorite season
My
favorite season is winter. First, the reason I like winter the best is that I
have many good memories in this season. When I was a child, and I lived in an
apartment, I made a snowman at its parking area. It was small, but it was my
best work. I gave him arms of twigs, eyes of stones, eyebrows and a mouth of
black woolen yarn. I showed him to my mother. My mother praised me, and she
allowed putting it by the front door. After a while, I saw my snowman, and he
started to melt. I was so sad, but I brought it outside my apartment. I
remember my feelings of that day. I felt sad then, but it became a delightful
memory as time went by. Second, there is my birthday in this season. My
birthday is February 18th. I think February is the coldest month in Japan, so it
often snows in my birthday! Winter is very cold, but I
like to see snows. Winter has any other happy events for example Christmas, New
Year’s Day and Valentine’s Day. Then, I like winter fashion. We can layer our clothing, so we can enjoy wearing various clothing in winter. I like coats, boots, knitwear and so on. It is really fun to go shopping in winter.

My favorite animal
I like
dogs very much. I had a poodle before, but she died about two years ago. She
was first dog which my family had. My mother brought her to our house when I
entered an elementary school. My mother and father had their own jobs, so I
would be lonely in our house if they have to work till late at night. They didn't want me to miss them, so they decided to have a dog. We named her Betty. This
name came from a character’s name, Betty Boop. Betty has reddish brown body. It
was rare color in that time. It was fun to play with her, so I used to play
with her after I came home from my school. Betty’s and my birthday was same,
February 18th, so my mother gave Betty a bite of my birthday cake
every year. When Betty was about four years old, she had a partial paralysis.She
couldn’t go out for a walk, and she couldn’t discharge by herself. My mother
took care of her every day. Because of her disease, she couldn't breed her babies. She died in the morning of spring. I was very sad, and regretted not taking care of her enough. When my pet dies, I'm sad and I feel that I don't want to have animals again. However, dogs are very pretty, and I can make a lot of good memories with my pet. In the future, when I live alone, I want to have a dog. I'll choose a poodle with reddish brown body.

My favorite clothing
RNA is
my favorite clothing brand. I knew this brand after being a university student.
Its shop is in PARCO. RNA’s clothing is very expensive. A short-sleeved shirt
is about four thousand yen, and a sweatshirt is about seven thousand yen. I
like RNA’s clothing very much, but I can’t buy them frequently because I don’t
have a lot of money. RNA’s clothing is cool and unique. There are many clothing
like punk. I like shirts which is drawn skulls character. Pretty fashion doesn’t
become me, so I like cool fashion. My favorite clothing color is black. I often
wear black clothing for example, shirts, pants and coats. It is easy to match
black and the other color. I like a combination of black and red the best. This
combination is simple, but it is not quiet. Before I knew RNA, I was quietly dressed, and I didn't like my fashion sense. However, I found my favorite clothing brand, and it was fun to think about clothing. Kumamoto Gakuen University's students are very fashionable, so I learn trend in clothing from them every day. I want to find my individuality in fashion.

"'Silly Old Bear,' he said, in such a loving voice that everybody felt quite hopeful again." (p. 31)
I think this story is the most famous of all Winnie-the-Pooh stories. I have read its illustrated book and watched a video. One day, Pooh got into a hole which Rabbits lived in to talk with one of them. Then, he was entertained with bread, honey, and condensed milk. Pooh liked them very much, you know. After he finished to eat them, said good-bye to Rabbit, climbed out of the hole, and he couldn't move because he got stuck in the hole! Christopher Robin came to help him, and he decided to wait for Pooh to get thin again. This story was cute and silly, but I knew Christopher Robin loved Pooh. He read books for Pooh for a week, and he took hold of Pooh's front paws, pulled him, and took out him from the Rabbits' hole. When I finished reading this book, I was healed.

After he finished to eat them, said good-bye to Rabbit, climbed out of the hole, and he couldn't move because he got stuck in the hole! Christopher Robin came to help him, and he decided to wait for Pooh to get thin again. This story was cute and silly, but I knew Christopher Robin loved Pooh. He read books for Pooh for a week, and he took hold of Pooh's front paws, pulled him, and took out him from the Rabbits' hole. When I finished reading this book, I was healed.Krensky, Stephen. (2002)

BR 2-05: The Giant Jelly Bean Jar
"In a big voice, he yelled, 'PEANUT BUTTER!'" (p. 28)
This story is about a shy boy, Ben. He loved jelly beans of Jo-Jo's jelly bean shop. Every weekend, it had a contest, and Ben and his sister, Jill, joined the contest. Jo-Jo read a riddle, and the person with the right answer won a jar full of jelly beans. Ben knew answers of Jo-Jo's questions, but he couldn't answer in public because he was very nervous. I can understand his feelings. I'm not good at talking in public. When I stand in front of many people, I often forget what I want to talk. From I was an elementary school student, I had a lot of chances to talk in public, I still can't speak well because I'm nervous. After I entered the university, I had a chance to talk in English and to speech about educational problems in front of my classmates. I think I must find the way that I'm not nervous, but I haven't find it yet.
