Ever After

I love to watch movies very much. I watch one movie in each week.

I watched a movie last night, which is 'Ever After' with my best friend, Akemi, at my house.



Have you ever watched that movie? It is very very very good movie. That story is the Cinderella story.

Letter for my Host Family

Hi, I am Saori Nakayama, and I’m going to be 20 years old this June. I like the U.S.A. very much so I study English. When I was 3 years old, I started to learn English. I have always dreamed of going to the U.S.A. some day. I am really interested in speaking English with English speakers. I speak to English teachers, who are from speaking English area, actively in my school. I can’t speak very well but they try to understand me and it’s made me want to study more and be able to speak well.
I went to Tamana Girls’ High School in Tamana, Kumamoto, and it has a sister school with Clarinda High School, Iowa. I thought that ‘it is a very good thing for me and I got a chance to go to the U.S.A.!!’ I started to study English very hard for being an exchange student everyday. When the school's teacher chose me to be that, I was really happy. In the summer 11th grade, I went to Clarinda. I learned a lot of things at there. I knew how wonderful American culture is. I know that I don’t know or learn American culture or everything but I went there and I like America even more.
I like playing basketball very much, so I played in junior high school. However, when I was in Iowa, I played it with Americans. I played in some games and it was very exciting, wonderful, and greatest experience for me.
I like to listen to the Beatles’s music, American pop music, and J-pop music.
I learned about Bible in America and I’m thinking about being a Christian in my future. I like to study Bible. If you are Christian, it would make me very happy, and I want you to teach me about it, and take me to the church please. If you’re not Christian, it’s doesn't matter for me, but please tell me what you believe.
Also I want you know about my wonderful country, Japan and Japanese, so please ask anything about my country.
I want to help Japanese students in the U.S.A. or want to teach Japanese to Americans, so if I can be a teacher in my future, I want to try it.
When I go to your home, I want to try anything and learn many things.
Thank you for being my family and your kindness. (405/629words)
