My Habits

Everyone has habits. Also I have some morning and evening habits too.
First, when I have a part-time job in the morning, I have to get up at 4:45. Because of I like to take a shower in the morning, so I need to get up early. Next the taking a shower, I take 20 minutes for makeup my face, this is my morning habit.
Before I go to the bed, I wash my face for taking off the makeup and wash my teeth. After that, I call or e-mail to my friends and set an alarm clock every night.
Do you, guys, eat breakfast every morning? I do not eat breakfast from I became a student of college because I just don't have any time for eating. However, people need to eat and it is important, so I have to take one every morning. I know that, but I can't. I have to change that habit, I really think so.
Last my habit is greeting. In Japan, we usually say the greeting before and after the meals every times. It is Japanese, or Buddhists', habit. We say, 'Itadaki masu', and 'Gochisou sama deshita'. 'Itadaki masu' means, 'thank you to everything'. We, Buddhists, think that we have to thank to everything, like for animals, meaning meats, or vegetables' and rice's makers, or more other staff. End of the meal, we say 'Gochisou sama deshita', and it means, 'I really enjoy the meal, thank you'.
Do you think this Japanese habit is wonderful? I really think so. This is Japanese great culture. (267/6460words)

Result Would be Good

I went to Tamana Girls’ High School, but I didn’t want to go that school fast time.
In Japan’s case, most high schools need to pass the big tests for attending to go to the schools. Of course, prefectural schools’ tests are very difficult but I wanted to go to the school, so I took one of the school’s tests. However, I didn’t make it. Other students, who were same junior high school with me, passed the school but I couldn’t pass it, just only me. I was very sad and crying very much. I couldn’t believe it. I didn’t want to go home. I was disappointed by myself. My parents were very sad but mad at me and talked about the reason why I didn’t pass it. However I needed to go to high school so I decided to go to the private school. The day, I knew that I didn’t pass, was the worst day in my life.
By the way, I changed my mine and I should forget about the prefectural school and do my best at the Tamana Girls’ High School. The school has a sister school with Clarinda High school which in Iowa State, the U.S.A., and I wanted to try to go there as an exchange student. I studied very hard to be that and I passed to be this time. I was very happy. I got wonderful memories, time, and a lot of friends at Clarinda.
I couldn’t go to school where I wanted to go first time, but I really think that I am happy because I went to the school and went to the U.S.A. I didn’t regret that didn’t pass the other school. I really think so. (303/6027words)

Found New Me

I really like to draw or paint pictures. When I was an elementary school student, I drew a lot of pictures and contests’ examiner selected my pictures sometimes. However, there were some people who were much better than me so I was not easily elated, and I was just like to do it very much.
I went to the U.S.A. for 10 months as an exchange student. My high school, Tamana Girls’ High School, has a school with Clarinda High School, Iowa, which is country state and there is heart in the U.S.A. At the school, I met a Lady who teaches Art in Clarinda High School. She was an interesting person, very nice, kind to me, and so fun. I loved to take her classes and I took every semesters. Her arts were fantastic and I attracted by her art. She taught me seriously, kindly, and interesting. I was a foreign student to her and teaching me was very different to her, I think, but she was very nice to me so I really thank to her. In Fall Semester, she asked me that “don’t want to go to the contest and let’s show your pictures?” I was very surprised because I didn’t guess that she wanted me to do that. I painted 2 pictures; sunflower and self-portrait, and they were popular during my friends. I liked my pictures too, so I decided to exhibit in the exhibition. We went to far away like 4 hours by school bus, and the contest opened at the huge high school. There were a lot of students and lots of works. I was surprised but scared that if people will think that mine’s really bad. Also there were so many of wonderful works and their art moved me. However in the contest, I got a ribbon; in that contest, people who are students, might be given on their art by other students. I was very excited, happy and impressed with that. I was glad to go to that, and I could have the confidence from it. My parents were happy too and they display on the wall in my home, Japan. I can’t forget the happened, I will not do that forever.
Finally, I was glad that the teacher said to me, “you were good arties and you should keep up to do painting in Japan.” You will be a nice arties.” It might be a compliment, but it made me happy. This story is my memorable day in my life. (429/5723words)

Fortune

In my Speaking class, we learned interesting things which were about blood type and sign.
The books, manual the boold type, are popular now. My blood type is A, and the boold type's people are goofy, worry about valuation of surroundings, and tidy. I think these are right.
Also my sign is Gemini. The Gemini's characteristic are "bright and quick-witted", "not lazy", but the person "will do many different things at once". Also the person, who is Gemini, "do enjoy making use of your intellectual talent, at work or play. Also have a creative streak or an interest in the arts. Try do many things, but sometimes never finish what person start." ('Taking Sides', Joseph Tomei) I'm Gemini but I am a lazy girl, so I think it is not right in this time. I believe the fortune, but sometimes it is not correct or not right to some people like me. (156/5294words)

My Best Friend

I have a lot of friends and it means I am happy person.
In my Speaking class, we talked about our friends. I told to people about my best friends, Akemi and Megumi. We met at junior high school. We didn't talk a lot in the school like now. I was in basketball team, and they were in badminton team. However, I was in Tamana Girls' High School, and Megumi was there too, so we began to talk a lot. Akemi was in Tamana High School and she had a work and go to school in night. Akemi and I were just friend during we were in junior high school, but we started to hang out all the time. Akemi, Megumi, and I hang out and go to somewhere all the time. We are always together. We talk everything each other, do something together, mad, cry, and sing, always together. Now, we are Great Best Friends.


In Kumamoto Gakuen University, my lovely best friend is Kana N. Her student's number is next by me, so we started to talk and hang out all the time. Our school schedule is almost same, it mean we are always together, expect Speaking class. We like to eat, ice-cream, meats, or... Foods! Lol. Also we like driving around and go shopping.

I got a lot of wonderful friends and I think it is so great thing to me. I am very shy girl but they are very kind to me. I don't want to lose them and I will keep in touch. (262/5138words)
