So she became good relationship with patients. But those patients soon die. So my mother said to me " I learn many things here."We seldom face with people's dye.

I like to watching movies. But I don't have enough money, because I don't work at part time job now. So I seldom go to the movie. But these days, I often go to DVD rent shop. I often rent DVD. It takes about 250 yen. It is cheaper than I watch the movie. My favorite DVD is " Beyond the break". It is a story about girls doing surfing! I do surfing too. So it is very interesting for me. It was created by Michael D Jacobs, David Brookwell, Sean Mcnamara. The hroins are Lacey, Birdie, Kai and Dawn. They are very interesting people. They are the member of wave sink. It is famous surfer team in Hawaii. They are professional surfer in Hawaii. They live together. They are high school students. Their coach is Justin. He teach them surfing. He live with them too.

I introduce these girls. First, Lacey lived in San Diego with her mother. When she watched TV, she saw wave sink team doing surfing. So she thought that she wanted to do surfing there too! So she stole her mother's boyfriend's credit card. Then she went to Hawaii. She is a naughty and stubborn girl.

Next, Birdie is kind girl. She help her friends everytime. She is the best natured person in wave sink. She had a boy friend. He is a soldier. A day he told Birdie that he had to go to Iraq because of a war. So he proposed her. But She was still 18. She was too young, and she had dated for one month, and his job was very danger.

Next, Kai is good girl too. She was chosed a tour member going to Bali.

Next, Dawn is a selfishness girl. She is very rich and cute. She likes boys, alcohol and go out for pleasure at night. But she is the best surfer in wave sink.

They encountered many troubles. But they solved those troubles. They live near sea. So they can do surfing everytime they want. I envy about it, because I can't do surfing in Kumamoto. There is no good wave in Kumamoto. So I have to go to Miyazaki. It took about three hours. It made me very tired every time, and it cost a lot. I have to pay 10000 yen every time.

I read this book. A father bought a boat. So a family went picnic by the boat. Some trouble happened. But everyone helped each other. So the family didn't get wet. But when they went back home, a car sprinkled water to the family. It was funny and cute story. Yesterday I hung out my washing. Then I went out. But it began to rain. My washing got wet. I was very sad, because I have to wash my clothes again.

Devember 15


I went to Miyazaki to do surfing again. Wave in Miyazaki was very high. So I was afraid about it. About three days ago, I went to Fukuoka to buy wet suit. Before buying, I tried on the suit. It was very difficult for me, because wet suit must fit just size for me. So it must be tight for me, and wet suit made me very hot. So I sweat a lot. So wet suit sticked me. So it took about thirty minutes to wear the suit. It was about 40000 yen. So this was the first time to go to the sea wearing my wet suit! I was very excited too. Then I dive to the sea. The wave was higher than I thought. So I was swallowed up by the waves. Then my boad hit me. I was injured by it.

It hurt me a lot. So next day I went to a hospital to show my injury to a doctor. He took a roentgen. The doctor told me not to do surfing and softball and any other sports. I like to exercise. So I am very sad. I hope that my injury will be good soon.

special dictation

Grammar is the field of listinguistics that covers the conventions governing the use of any given natural language. It includes morphology and syntax, often complemented by phonetics, phonology, semantics, and pragmatics. Each language has its own distinct grammar. "English grammer" is the set of rules of the English language itself. "An English grammar" is a specific study or analysis of these rules. A reference book describing the grammar of a language is called a "Reference grammar" or simply "A grammar" A fully explicit grammar exhaustively describing the grammatical constructions of a language is called a descriptive grammar. As opposed to linguistic prescription. Which tries to enforce the governing rules of how a language is to be used.

test

Yesterday we had a listening test. So the day before yesterday I studied at night. We have had listening class for two years. It was not easy. Listening English is difficult, but it is very necessary to talk with foreign people. When I were in New Zealand, it is very difficult to understand what they said. So I always said them to speak to me slowly. But I thought I have to get listening skill. So since I went back to Japan, I tried to improve listening skill in English. So I never absent listening class. But the test was very difficult. It was very difficult to understand what teacher said. I will go to Australia in February. So before I go there, I have to learn English more and more, because I want to talk with my host family a lot. I could not talk with my host family in New Zealand enough. I am sorry about it. So I try to study English!!!

My boy friend said to me " At first it is very difficult to stan on the surf. But The harder you try, the better you can do!" So I will try to do surfing! It is not easy, but I felt very good! People who can stand on the surf looks very cool! I study surfing reading books, watching DVD. I want to be a good surfer! Then we went to a surf shop. He bought me a surf boad! It is very cute! The color is pink! I like pink very much. It was about 75000yen. So I can do surfing anytime I want. I will go to Australia in Februaly. So I want to do surfing in Australia. So I want to stand on the surf before I go to Australia.

Christmas

I searched about Christmas in New Zealand and Japan last summer vacation too. So I write that.

Christmas in New Zealand warm up at 24th the best. But when it becomes next day, it becomes quiet again.Most restaurants, shops are closed at 25th. In Japan, most restaurants and shops are open. Many Japanese go there. But people in New Zealand, spend Christmas at home. People invite relatives, and they enjoy having a luxurious food from lunch. They wear pixie hats, and they have crackers. Some papers written joke go out from those crackers. Then they read those, they laugh. The main dish is a turkey. It is standard food. And we often see people who have a barbecue.In Japan if we spend Christmas at home, many people eat turkey too. But few people barbecue in Japan.

Time in New Zealand delays an hour during summer. It is called Summer Time. It becomes dark at 10 o'clock at Christmas. Many people do water skiing in a lake at 9 or 10 in the evening. After eating dinner, there are a lot of time to play. Christmas in New Zealand continur after 25th about 1 month. Some people travel this time.

Christmas in Japan is winter, but in New Zealand is summer. Winter vacation in Japan is not so long. I think it is the best different thing between New Zealand and Japan.

Santa claus's fashion in summer Christmas is same which we image. He comes saying "HO! HO! HO!"

Advertisements of Christmas presents increase. For example, TV commercials inserts. Then children tell their parents,"I want this!"

It is important to write christmas cards in New Zealand. Stamps drown christmas arts are issued then. They write to "Greeding Card" on the envelope. It starts to send cards about christmas's two week's ago. It is like a New Years Card in Japan. In Japan few people send christmas card. Instead, many people send New Years Card. It is very common.

People put these cards on a fire place. It is very important to decide persons who give presents, and go shopping for these presents. It is a very hard work.People give presents for their parents, friends, children and friend's children. In Japan, of course people give christmas presents, but few people give to friend's children.

The number which people give presents may become twenty. But they are not so expensive. These presents may send before christmas like christmas cards, so people put presents under the chrisrtmas tree. The second different thing from Japan is people spend christmas with their family. If they have boy friend or girl friend, they spend with their family. They invite their relatives, they go their grand parent's house... they have a good time with their family. People enjoy christmas not only children but also adult. In Japan, some people spend christmas with their family. But if she or he has a lovers, most people spend with their lovers.

That's all! I like christmas very much. I can eat delicious food. So I enjoyed researching christmas in New Zealand and in Japan.

Birthday


Yesterday, December 4 was my boyfriend's birthday! He became twenty six years old. So last week I went shopping for his present. I worried about that, because I didn't know what he wants. I went shopping with my friend. She helped me very much. My boyfriend does surfing. So I bought a watch for surfing. It is waterproof. And, I bought some clothes, a cap. Choosing presents is difficult, but it is interesting too! Yesterday, morning, I made a cake. It looked very delicious! That evening, we ate out at the restaurant. Those dinner were very delicious. Then I gave him presents. He looked happy. So I was relieved. My birthday is December 9! It is after five days. I am very looking forward to coming the day!

shining!


Yesterday I went to see illumination at Saisyunkan. It is near Aso, daiichi airport line. There many kinds of illumination there. Snow man, whales, castles, swans, dolphins etc.Those were very beautiful. So I took many pictures. There were many people there. It took 500 yen. I want to go there again!!!

Crime

I researched about crime between New Zealand and Japan last summer vacation. So I write that.
We think that New Zealand is safe country. So our wariness become to loose. I thought that yhe rate of crimes in New Zealand was less than Japan before I researched, because when I was watching news in New Zealand, I felt that news about crimes were less than Japan. But I found that there were many kind of crimes in New Zealand. For example, murders, robbers, violation, kidnap etc. The number of tourists who encountered with crimes is big.
In Kumamoto, I think that there are a lot of theif who steal bike or motorbike. I had been stolen two bikes before in Kumamoto. But in New Zealand, the number is less than Kumamoto, because people in New Zealand seldom ride a bike or bicycle. But crimes often occur in New Zealand. One day, my friend forget to close her shoulder bag in New Zealand. Then a man came near us. He told her to close her shoulder bag. She was very surprised. Perhaps in Japan, if a wpman keeps her bag open, nobody told her so. Therefore, a lot of robbery occur in New Zealand. Especially, a lot of crimes of violation happen nationally. Statistics of the police, occurence per 100 thousand people is as thirty two times as Japan. It is very serious. In Rotorua, Auckland, a lot of crimes of violation had happened. In willington, a school girl using a public toilet damaged of violation. In Auckland, a driver of a taxi forced a woman. The other case, a woman was recommended a drink from a man who met at a bar. The drink was contained chemical substance. Then the woman was forced and stealed her cards and cash. In Japan, a lot of crimes of violation happened too. We will never forgive them.
In Japan, crimes of drug are increasing rapidly. Especially young people who have drug are increasing. Recently we can buy drug easily. In New Zealand, a drug called "P" is a serious problem. Because of large quantity using, many people died. And murder involved with drug are increasing too. The rate of using drug in New Zealand is as twenty six times as Japan.
When I was walking street, I found many security camera in New Zealand. Then I searched about those. Those are called "CCTV". CCTV keep taking pictures all day in roads, parks, parking areas, building etc. These are installed by city hall, police, government and other public institution or private enter prise. In Japan, there are a lot of security camera too. But some people say it is invasion of privacy. Prevention of crimes is growing day by day.
Next, In New Zealand, there are many placards written " Caution car picking" or " Lock keys". I saw many times at many places. I found data about car picking in New Zealand. According to the questionnaire for 2500 driver, 18% of them encountered with car picking. In Kumamoto it is decreasing now. The rate of theif in New Zealand is as twice as Japan.
I went many places in New Zealand last summer. There were many beautiful places. Every thing were wonderful. People who I met in New Zealand were all very kind. So It is a pity that there are many crimes in New Zealand. I think that crimes can happen everywhere now. So we have to protect our life by ourselves.

surfing


Last week, I went to Miyazaki with my boyfriend by car. It took about three hours to arrive there. My boyfriend surfboards everyweek. So I went there to watch him surfing. It was very cold there. But he looks very interesting surfboarding! So I thought that I wanted to do surfing too! In Summer, There are many people who do surfing. But there are a few people who surfboarding in winter. It is very hard to do in winter. But I want to surfboard very much!! If I start now, I may do surfing well in next summer! So I said to him that I wanted to do too! He has two boards. So he told me to lend his board to me next time. So I will do surfing next week! I am very looking forward to doing! So I can go Miyazaki again. Then, I want to eat Chikin Nanban very much. I like it very much. There are many kind of surf boards and wet suits. I want them very much. But these are very expensive. There are three kinds of board, long board, fan board and short board. Long board is the easiest board of the three. It is long. So it is easy to ride. Short board is the most difficult of the three. But if someone can ride that, it is very cool! I want fan board the best. Wet suit is very warm. Because of it, we can do surfing in winter. But it is very difficult to wear and take off, because we have to wear that very tightly. If we wear loose, water comes in the wet suit.

I really want to do that!!!

book

We have to write blogs five times a week, and we have to read an English book a week. So I always borrow books in the library at Kumamoto Gakuen University. But it takes long time for me to read English books. So I always am late for returning books. I have not read English books before I entered University. But I read English books every week. It was very difficult for the first time. But now, I enjoy reading English books now. To read books, We can learn English, We can study words, we can enjoy the story. So it is very good for us to read English books. I will keep reading English books forever!!

So it took long time to clean my room. My clothes were sprinkled in my room. There were a lot of rubbish in my room. So my room smelled bad. But now, it is all right! Then I made an omelet and rice. I haven't cooked these days. These days, I always eat out with my friends. It costs a lot. This morning, I made my lunch! I got up early. So I could do! The early bird catches the worm!
Today it was raining.So I can not practice softball.I hope that it will be fine.

My favorite sports

I will introduce my favorite sports.
I like softball very much. 1 team consists of 9 peoples. We hit and catch a ball. We throw a ball quickly. If you never played softball, you must be accustomed to a ball.
I introduce how to practice! First, You throw a ball many times, and let's try catch ball! If you continue to play catch ball, you will be able to throw a ball very fast. At fast, you may feel scary, because softball is very hard. So if a ball hit you, you get pain. But don't be afraid of that. If you look at a ball steadily, you must catch a ball!
Second, hitting a ball with bat is very important thing. If you can't hat a ball, you can't run to a first base. If you want to hit a ball, you must keep swinging a bat. It looks very easy. But it is very difficult and necessary. It is not good to just swinging a bat. You must awake to use feet, waist and hands. If you lack something of those, you can't play well. You have to stand firm hard. Especially, hind leg is important. You have to strain at hind leg. And, you must turn your waist quickly. Hitting a ball with a bat is very difficult. But you practice this way, you become a good batter.
Third, You have to run very fast. I can't run fast very much. It is a serious problem. If you can't run fast, you can't catch a ball and move next base. So you have to practice dashing.
These are how to practice softball. It is very hard. You can't progress a day. It is important to practice everyday. Sometimes I feel tired. But my team mates are all very kind and good people. When I depressed, they cheered me every time. We can't play softball alone. It is very important to make a good relationship.
  Next, I like volley ball. When I was an elementary school student, I was playing volley ball. I had played for three years. Every Sunday, I practiced. But I was not good at that. We play volley ball for six people. We can't play volley ball alone too. I always was hurt my arm. Volley ball is hard. I like volley ball not only playing but also watching. I often watch matches of volley ball on TV. Especially girls world volley ball is very interesting. I like Megumi very much. She is very good at volley ball.
  Next, I like bowling very much. When we play bowling, we must be rent shoes and bowl. we have to change shoes, because bowling lane is smooth. We can choose a bowl. There are many kind of bowl, many colors, a lot of weight. We can enjoy bowling alone and many people.
  Sports make us happy and good health. Let's play sports!

fruit

My friend gave me a lot of fruits! Those were apples, pears, oranges and persimmons. I like fruit very much. So I am very happy. I like apple pie. I can make it! First, I cut apple. Then I roast that. Then I add sugar, honey and cinnamon. Then I roast again. Then I wrap that with dough. Then I grill that! It is very easy! I like that very much, because it is very delicious. I like frozen oranges. It is very good! But now it is very cold. So I like to eat that sitting in kotatsu. Fruit is healthy, because it is low calorie. So I like eating fruit better that sweets. But yesterday, I ate parfait and cakes... I have to diet!!!!

It is very good. These days, I cook for my lunch everyday. Last year, I bought lunch at bakery. But it cost a lot. And breads make us fat. So making lunch is healthy. I have to get up early. It is difficult and hard for me. But I will continue to cook my lunch everyday! When I was high school student, my mother made me lunch. I think that my mother was very busy. My mother had got up at five. I appreciate my mother very much.

I am glad if they like that. Some my friends send me e-mail. ' Good luck! ' or ' You must study hard in NZ. ' etc. Today my friend Michiru comes to my house and staing. She will go too. I am very looking forward to seeing my host family!!!!(88 words)
