first semester

I had a fun time in the first semester.
Actually I had a hard time sometimes because I couldn't understand English and what I had to do though. The most difficult topic for me since the first semester started was Enviroment. I think that it's still difficult to think about nature and global warming in Japanese, but to think about enviroment and discuss with other people was good for me, becasue I was not interesting in enviroment and didn't even think about it before.
And also the useful activity was listening MD and write down what they said. It was also difficult, but it was very useful to improve my English, listeing and writing.
Like I said I had a hard time, but I think that it was a big help to improve my English.
Thank u.

plans for summer vacation!!

There are a lot of things that I want to do in this summer vacation.
First, I want to go back home in Nagano. I haven't seen my family for a while so I miss them.
While I stay there, I want to drive a car, too because I got a driver's lisence before I moved here, and then I couldn't drive a car in here. So I'm looking forword to going back home.
Second, I'd like to go to the fireworks festival around here. Actually we had a summer festival in Nagano, but I've really wanted to go a BIG one. So hope to go some summer festivals with my friends, that would be so fun!!
I also excited to go to see my sisters in this summer. I have two older sisters and they live in Tokyo and Saitama, so we havem't seen each other for a while. So maybe go shopping and stay at the night together.
Well so I am so excited for this summer vacation. Hope everybody have a great vacation, too.
You, too Kamsin!! Thank you.
