Merry Christmas Eve

I was very looking forward to coming that day. December 24 is Christmas eve, and I went to 湧水公園 with my boyfriend. I have been there last summer, and it was 七夕. In this time, there were many Christmas trees there! They were shining red or blue and various ornaments. They were cute.
We were a bit hungry, so we went down Aso and went to Hikari no mori to search new たいやき屋. However, I didn't find that shop in spite of driving around there a lot. It was so evening and hungry that we stop searching たい焼き屋 and went dinner.
We bought a champagne at a store and went to 焼き肉屋さん. There are many many cars and crowded at by-pass, so I was irritated because I hate traffic jam. After the dinner, we went to his house.
When we drink champagne, he brought it and a cake!! I was surprised and happy. Then he presented a necklace and I gave him a pierced earring. We put together and we ate them! It was so excited and enjoyable Christmas eve!!

Essay2-06: Learning With Computer

Using computer is very useful and important. There are some applications in computer. It is Internet, Word, and PowerPoint. We can use them in classes or private time. I often use computer on several purpose, but I don't like to use computer because it is very difficult for me. However, many people in the world use computer and we need to use computer well at our place of work in the future.

When I want to know some information, I use Internet such as Yahoo and Google. If I write key words, much information would hit. Then I have only to choose some information in them. Moreover, computer connects with all over the world. So if I know other things which are outside Japan, I don't have to go there. I know them, wherever I am. Also, I use Word. I can check spelling or structure in my sentences. It is helpful thing.

I write blog with using computer. I write dairy, movie or book review and essays. I can my thoughts, and other people can know my thoughts and opinion. Also I read other blogs and I can know other people's thoughts and opinions. Then I can accept opinions and my outlook are broadened. Computer is border less, so I have communicated with a girl who is from South Korean before. I was interested in South Korean and I exchanged e-mails with her through the computer. It was freshness and excited that I could know South Korean better than before. We have a lot of chance to exchange information not only South Korea but also other foreign country. It is very convenient.

Except communicating with other people, we can enjoy with computer such as listening to the music or watching movies and dramas. I have an i-pod, so I sometimes look for songs and find my favorite songs then download. When I have free time so much, I watch movie or drama. When I also want to watch DVD, I occasionally use with computer. If I missed the drama or movie, I can watch it without borrowing DVD. It is enjoyable and relaxes time.

Using computer is very useful and convenient; however, it sometimes doesn't work properly. It is infected virus and break off. Also it is managing many people's personal date, so if they are leaked out, it would be faced a serious crisis. So we have to manage treating computer and be always careful. We must not infringe a copyright, too.

As a conclusion, using computer is leaning many things. Some are good point, others are bad point. We can know a lot of information and other people's opinions. We can communicate with others through the computer and understand their conditions. Or if you have a free time, you can enjoy with several sites and games. Computers are small and compact, but they are equipped a lot of functions. If you can handle them well, you would were brought a deal of benefit because computers play an important part. So it is important and worthy to continue using and learning computer.

Free-Writing: Learning With Computer

I sometimes use a computer, and I write blogs and search information. However, I don't like the computer because it is difficult for me to use skillfully. So using computer is hard work for me. Generally, using computer is useful, easy to know a lot of information, but complexity and speedy compared with book or TV. Computer is connecting with world, so people could contact with foreign people with e-mail anytime and anywhere. If you want to know something, you write key words that are connected, and you can get a lot of information. Then you have only to choose some information in them. Also, you had better use computer in the future because a lot of company use it. It is difficult, but if you use skillfully, it is very useful and convenient for you.

Essay 2-04: A Part of My Life~Community Life~

When I was a junior high school student, I belonged to badminton club. I have liked to play badminton when I was a child, so I often used to play it with my family and friends in the park or house. I was very interested in badminton and I wanted to belong to it. It is a start that I play badminton and became a necessary part of my life.

I belonged to badminton club, however, I had thought that badminton was very easy sport. I went to see the activity after school, but it was so speedy movement that I and my childhood friend were overwhelmed. However, our determinations were not unshaken. After all, four girls except us belonged to badminton club.

The practices were very very hard because our couch was a champion when he was a high school student. He was a strict and he made us train up very harder. Before hitting the shuttle, we had to train to improve physical strength inside and outside. I didn't like that. We trained everyday while we were short of breath and sweat profusely. Although I didn't like that, I could realize that my strength and skill were improving gradually. I stood their severe training and tried to practice badminton, so I won the doubles in third palace at the 中体連 in Kikuchi District. It was unbelievable and I was very overjoyed then.

I wanted to belong and try another club in high school. However, I belonged to badminton club again after all because I want to do nothing else. The training was not harder than in junior high school because we had to place study than club. So I learned many things except practicing badminton.

We had to be consistent with club and study, but I want to be good at badminton. I practiced hard but I could not become good player easily, so I was worried many times and I overcame my suffering and my friends helped me once in a while. Because we had many own thoughts, we clashed each other and were distressed many times. Whenever we were, we talked and overcame many times. We spent so that three years, so we built good relationship each other and became good friends. Of course, our badminton skill could improve up. I am very happy that I could meet and spend with them high school days.

Now I have contained to play badminton. I belonged to badminton club in spring, and when I was free, I play it with other university students. Besides, I go trip, drinking, play with them. I still enjoy badminton life now. When I play badminton, I can get rid of my stress.

As a conclusion, it is a part of my life for me to join and play badminton. Through badminton, I could meet many people and had to do with them. To play badminton isn't easy but it has been a necessity to do. I could not feel happiness, enjoyment and fruition, but also affliction, sadness and setback. It is important to feel them and I could grow with people together.
