the last post

Two years has passed since IES class starts.
In the early days, I could not help worrying and wondering whether I could keep up with this class. However, I barely remain in this class.
What I learned is how important to study with classmates is.
Through my life, I feel that I had studied alone. When I was in elementary school, junior high school and high school, not only I but also others seemed to study just individually.
It was not my fault, but the reason is just there were quite a few presentations by students, writing paper, group discussions. In other words, these schools lacked group works. In this class, we had presentations, writing papers with my partner, group discussions and debate.　Moreover, the reason I did not quite this class is that everyone fight for studying. I think it is good that we become good friends despite all the classmates have different values. I am proud of my classmates. I am glad to be here. Thank you.

why there are more male writers than female writers

2006-01-12T03:13:00.000-08:00

One signifiacant reason is that women had lower status than men. Only men could be given much education and aquired ability to write and read. Women have no ability to write and read and they lacked opportunities to write.
Even today, when students are required to read academic materials, those materials are aften written by male writers. Recently more and more women go to universities, however, women in the generation of our parents, most women go to 2-year colleges or they do not go. Only men are expected to go there. conseqently, writers of this generation write much today. Men have much more opportunities and chance to write than women. Moreover, women were not to work like men.
Recently I remember many young female writers who writes novel or fiction. I think they are creative and hold much imagination. in future, there may be more female writers than male.

coming of age ceremony

2006-01-10T21:50:00.000-08:00

I went coming of age ceremony in Hiroshima!
When the invitation came, I was wondering because I did not live there when I was junior high school students. Who I know is only friends from high schol. I thought that even if I had had been there, I could not enjoy the ceremony. Moreover, I am still 19 and I cannot realize I came the age.However, as a Japanese, I noticed that I should take part in the ceremony and wear Hurisode.
I got up 5:30, weard it and set my hair. what I thought did not happen and I could enjoy meeting many friends. After the ceremony, we went to our high school and show our Hurisode to our teacher. Hurisode is really beautiful but it is not comfortable. Therefore, I do not want to wear for a longer time.
In the evening, other friends from high school gathered and had a dinner. We talked our university life or recent events each other. Their appearance were a little different from those of high school, their characteristics were same. I was really happy to meet them. I wanna keep touch with them forever.

winter vacation

2006-01-10T21:35:00.000-08:00

A winter vacation has just paseed. During the vacation, I did a few things. My friend came to Osaka and we visited Kyoto, talked a lot and did shopping! I often write a letter to the friend. Her name is Mio and we met in high school. Mio is totally different from me. She studies Japanese to be a high school teacher and live in Hiroshima alone. She really likes old Japanese(Koten) and she has little interest in foreign countries. Unlike her, I prefer foreign languages to Japanese and want to know more about facts out of Japan. I think it is really interesting that despite we have different interest, we are good friends. I believe that I can continue to be a good friend for a long time.
After I went back to my hometown, I spend much time with my family, especially my dog, in Hiroshima. Moreover, I studied reading in Italian. During studying, I found that my ability of Italian is too low. When I read in English now, the context is really difficult and includes much information. What I read in Italian is too simple, just there is a house... or long long time ago there is.... I worry whether I can keep up with classes when my studying abroad.

Winter vacation begins

2005-12-22T02:35:00.000-08:00

I am reallyhappy,since finally I handed in a few papers and winter vacation came here!
Moreover, it was announced that I am to study in Milano, Italy. I was so surprised!!
I have thought the the announcment would come later, but it happend this Monday, suddenly.
Now I always think about it. I plan what to do during this vacaton and spring vacation...
I want to study, but I have to work a little to put money aside for studying abroad.
Today, there is so much snow. My friend who went back to her hometown a wee ago wanted to see snow even one time, but she could not. How God is mean!!!!
Why did not he give a chance to see it for her??

Animal Farm &Marx

2005-12-11T05:51:00.000-08:00

I and Bs have to write a paper about Animal Farm.
And today I researched about Karl Marx. I did not know about him, for I am not good at history and economy. I knew just his name and a thing that he has famous idea, which influenced on the world. According to the handout, the reason why he recommended socialism is that he wanted to save poor people. He worked as an editor of a newspaper. He criticized governmental policies which brought some people poverty. This fact enables me to understand the origin of socialism. Whenever I heard communism or socialism, these words did not remind of me positive meaning so far. This would be a good opportunity to understand history of Russia.

immigrant

2005-12-07T04:08:00.000-08:00

Yesterday, I had a debate on “should Japan increase immigrants” and I was affirmative team with Yuu.
We had six reasons for the ides: help economic growth, recover Japanese reputation, save human rights of immigrants, motivate Japanese students to study English as necessary tool in the future, as well as history and people widen their view and gain international thinking.
I like 4th reason. Today students cannot speak English despite it is international language just because they can live without it. However, I think, as an English learner, English widen my future potentials. Actually it is difficult for Japanese to acquire English, since the language has no similarity with Japan. I want Japan to create more effective way of learning English.
Yet, personally Japan should not increase immigrants. I cannot imagine the situation that Japan is welcoming immigrants. It seems difficult to live in Japan for immigrants. Japan is rare country in many senses, and can be precious country because of its special culture.

Civilization

2005-12-05T03:12:00.000-08:00

When I read the story of Easter Island, I found it interesting how the island developed.Moreover, thinking about two stories which we read in the class, I considered how our life owes itself to the natural resource. When I was in high school, I learned in geography class that every culture or civilization started with water. At that time, I just learned that. However, I realized actually it now.
I also learned in the class that this world and the island began with only natural resources and there was no technology. Human beings bring their knowledge to the area and tried to advance their live. As their effort worked successfully and technology developed, the environment was destroyed. It is tragedy that people wanted to live comfortably, but their wish lead the environment to worse.
I wonder why people on the earth cannot live happily in all ages.

Japanese culture

2005-11-21T18:42:00.000-08:00

I am sorry of Japanese culture.
This culture includes making one's-self silent and be passive is polite.
Also when someone is talking, people should not speak out.
People claim that Japanese are losing their own culture.
However, the culture seems to be blamed.
For us who is studying in English, it is really difficult to switch Japanese culture into Western culture.
Even now , I havent get used to interrupt the speech during the presentation.

We talked about Kimono in westernization's presentation today.
I have not wear Kimono, Japanese cloth, so often. Barely I wear Yukata, another Japanese cloth, in summer.
These days, companies produce Yukata with westerm pattern.
Maybe, these company try to make people feel familiar to wearing Yukata and increase the number of people wearing Yukata
I don’t like this thought.
I think Japanese pattern can stand out in Japanese cloth.
Western pattern in Japanese cloth seems strange and not match.
But, some people may like this and buy one.
I wanna hear some ideas.

This weekend

2005-11-20T04:09:00.000-08:00

I visited Ginkaku-ji in Kyoto for my first time.
In this season, people can enjoy watching the temple and walking around the garden.
Therefore, there were soooo many visitors, including some foreigners.
Needless to say, there are fewer foreigners in my hometown, but there are so many in Osaka ad Kyoto. I was surprised at the fact again.

I found the garden where Ginkaku-ji locates has much beautiful red-leaf landscape,
but I cannot enjoy the landscape so much because of a number of visitors!
Even though the garden is really beautiful, it is pity that we cannot stay there and spend a lot of time sitting or walking around there.
I think that the owner(?) should think a proper way to introduce the charm of the garden.
People just buy their tickets for the entrance and go as the direction shows.
For me, a garden is for resting and spending her/his time with walking around or watching the nature.
I wanna visit there again when there are fewer visitors.

I'm thinking...

2005-11-15T05:01:00.000-08:00

these days almosy all friends are thinking which university they are going to.I am thinking too!though there are only three universities in Italy where I can go...
By the way, my friends seem to go to different countries and it seems really interesting!!
A large number of students actually study in Amrica.
Personally I have no great interest in America, just because I cannot agree American culture that people drive too much!!!
I can understand why people use so much automobiles and that not all American do not agree to the idea; hoever I do not feel like going and living there.
It seems strange that even though many students and teachers from America are really nice people and I like them soooooooooooo much, I do not accept the country.I wonder whether I do not know good aspects of the country.

during holidays

2005-11-10T22:56:00.000-08:00

I have not written for a long time.last week, there was a school festival and there were no classes.on Novemver 3rd, I went to Kyoto with some of Bs.We went around Kinkaku-ji, Kitano-Tennmangu, Ryoan-ji.This was my first time to visit Kinkaku-ji.　Needless to say, it was gold. I have looked forward to seeing it because it was really famous one.Kinkaku matched the landscape behind it. However, it would have been much better if it had have been sunny day.On the day, it was cloudy and rained a little.Generally when people visit Kyoto this season, they can enjoy watching red leaves.This year, leaves have not turned into red and remain green and partly red.I hope when I visit Kyoto again, these leaves have already turned into perfect red!

On Novemver 4th, I and other friends Towa, Midori and Natsumi went to and stayed at Saki's house in Hyogo.
I enjoyed a short journey to Saki's house by train and bus because I lived alone near Gaidai.
I felt really happy to take train with my friends and talk.
When we stayed at Saki's house, we really felt relax.
I remembered pleasure to spend my time with others at house.
at the same time, I miss my hometown a little.
However, the feeling disappear by being wih nice friends.

I can go to Italy☆

2005-10-28T04:18:00.000-07:00

this week, I was so busy.
I had a presentation and a short essay...and the result of studying abroad.
What I could do is only waiting for the result, but I could not help thinking about it.
The before night of the result, I could not sleep.I worried what if I failed...
However, I could pass. I am going to Italy.
I am really happy, yet I cannot believe nor realize that I am going to Italy.
I have longed for studying in Italy from long time ago. haa.... is it true??
now I have one worry. it is which university I will go in Italy.
CIE staff will decide my university, so I can only tell my ideal university.
I wish I could my favorite university where Italian language course is well organized.
tomorrow, other classmates have Japanese interview. Do your best!!!! Bs!!
you can do it!!
finally weekend comes now. I want to rest-!
I want to relax-! but I wanna cheer my company!
so, I will go to school.

Hiroshima

2005-10-23T04:41:00.000-07:00

Hiroshima is my hometown and I really love it.
We read "thanks god for The Atomic-bomb" in class.
Now I am thinking about Hiroshima and the bomb.
I think that Hiroshima is a nice place, though it is rural are
and people might feel it is inconvenient to live in Hiroshima.
Hiroshima has "The Aomic-bomb dome" and Itsukushima-shrine as a world heritage.
Itsukushima-Shrine is on the Miyajima. I would sometimes visit there to relax.
Visitors will be fascinated with the view that Itsukushima-Shrine was built on water.
When it comes to The Atomic-bomb dome, it might be smaller than you expect.
When I was reading the rext at my house, I could not understand the content perfectly.
I understood in a class;however I could never agree the author.
at the begininng, I really wonder whether it is right to debate that the bomb is necessary or not.
I think that it is not necessary because actually,a large number of people died and even many survivors sufferd from radiation sickness.
The dabate seems to discuss whether thier death are necessary or not for me.
Some insist that the bomb told the scare of the power and it became a lesson that we should not use it anymore.
BUT, now in this world,a few countries have potential to use nuclear....WHY!?

going on

2005-10-22T04:21:00.000-07:00

Ciao!
today I had a Japanese interview and an English interview.
I got up at six and I listend music so that I cheer me up!!
the last night, I could not sleep easily.
When I started thinking of the interviews, I could not stop it and keep awake.
after the interview, I found that Japanese interviewers were not so mean if you have a storong will.
one of them tried to make us relax because he wanted to know about you.
I should not have get nervous so much.
so, if you have a interview, you should think that Japanese interview is an oppoturnity to show their passion for studing abroad.
Now, night came.
I finished my interviews and talked with my friends.
I was really tired, I wanted to go back to my apartment and sleep but I dont feel like being alone. I could not calm down.
however, today I felt that I did what I wanted to. I believe that I did what I could today.
I believe that it means that I should not go to study abroad when I cannot pass the test.

I have a lot of things to do now! and I will be really busy next week. Fight fight fight!!!
Be tough especially next week! Rina!! survive! get over it!

other world and my world

2005-10-09T06:36:00.000-07:00

Last Sunday, I went to have my hair cut with Erica in a beautician's school .
Students there cut our hair.
needless to say, most of the students are almost same age with us.
I met such students for my first time, for almost all my friends in high school go to university.
I really envy them because they gain skill to work apparently.
when I think my future job, not only anticipation but also anxiety comes to me.
at the present time, I want to be a tour guide, but I havent prepared anything...
because this job will offer to me opportunities to introduce my favorite country to tourists.
moreover, if a TV compnay need to tour guide to make a program which shows history or travel,I can go with it.
when I am in Japan, I really thank such TV program.
my favorite country is so far that it is difficult to go when I want to visit.
my memories in the country are likely to melt away.
this program reminds me of the memories and stimulate me.

October has arrived!

2005-10-05T04:58:00.000-07:00

I'll confess! I was really really really bad at history when I was junior high school.
I had no interest in history...
I could not learn the time chart of both Japanese history and World history by heart.
however, I want to learn it now.
it was in my art history class that I found it interesting.
in the class, I saw and learned paintings during the Renaissance .
i wonder why the value in those ages appear in the paintings or
why each these objaects has their own meanings.
I thought it was very interesting that the ages keep passing with changing.
however, I wonder whether not only time but also people change their mind,
though it might be a typical idea.
I want old friends to remain as they are even if twenty years pass.
oh it does not have any relation my old friends and history!

by the way, I wanna decide short essay topic!
I am thinking during the Renaissance.
but I feel like knowing reallu new topic.hmmm...
what are you thinking???

my first blog in second semester

2005-09-29T05:06:00.000-07:00

ciao ciao, Bs!
it has been so long time since I posted tha last blog.
I am a little surprised with that I have to come back here again!

how was your summer vacation?, though it finished two weeks ago.
This summer vacation was filed with so many memories!
I traveled Fukuoka, Ehime,Tokushima,Kagawa and Ishikawa prefucture.
I went around Japan! and it was very fun.
after I came back to Hirakata from my hometown, Hiroshima,
I enjoyed my self with spending time with some friends.
I took part in Kyoto-tour and made friends with exchange students.
I was glad to do so because I can feel familiar with countries which had been unfamiliar.
Moreover, I went to expo land with some of Bs!!
it was very fun!...however I found myself not so young....
I didnt feel trying so many roller coasters anymore,
though i was very excited when I went there 2 years ago...

last week, some of Bs applied for studying abroad.
I wish we could go!!!!!!!!

15th blog

2005-07-12T21:19:00.000-07:00

I come to the 15th blog! year! what should I write....
Next week, IES bs have to hand in the last essay!!
But I have not decide yet...
I get interest in energy becouse when I was in junior high school, I have a debate which topic is energy and especially nuclear power plants.
so, it is one possible topic.
Todays class, we think about changes in 20 years.
I cannot imagine that time passes soon.
only I wish the earth remains.
when i was 7 or 8 years old, needless to say, I do not imagine the environmental ploblems at all.
at that time, do people pay attention to these problems??
what i was afraid of the death or individual problems
because students learned a lof about the War.
Moreover, my hometown Hiroshima was one of prefectures where was dameged by atomic bomb.
the impression was so strong that I remember it even now.
of course I hate the war. it is very selfish action.
people fight only for their benefit and only innocent people become victims.
Now, there is the Iraq war. how many times human beings do again and again what they have regreted.
only people who want to fight should take part in the game.

Future

2005-07-09T04:11:00.000-07:00

We learn the future of the earth.
I wonder whether human beings have been negative toward their future and
from when they start worrying.
Needless to say, I want to believe that this earth lasts forever, even though there is no reason for it.
Until now, human beings, animals and this earth have faced so many difficulties and problems;
howeve, they managed to solve them.
Some people may think that they owe it to ideas or thoughts came from people that this earth remains today.
Unlike them, I think that it is a kind of the grace of God, even though I dont gave any religion.
Every event, every accident, every chance, every encounter ... all facts are given by God.
Moreover, God is not evil.
If real real danger is about to come to the earth, God will tell us in any ways in advance, regardless of however the ways are.
We people have to responce to the notice.

rain rain rain...

2005-07-03T05:01:00.000-07:00

buongiorno～♪
these days we have a lot of rain.
...but today is July 3rd. it is too late that we have such rain now, isn't it?
abnormal weather!?!?
yesterday, I had TOEFl test. During the test, I felt bad:-<>
i think my score goes down.....hiiiiiiii.
moreover, this test seemed to be more difficult for me than the last time.
Hmmm...i should take one more time...
after that, I went to Hirakata station with Erica☆we bought a few.
in the night, I went to RoRo for the first time with two my circle members.
they are going to study abroad from this summer.I will miss them!!
we talked a lot about IES, circle, school and so on.
they always help me and give advice. i realize that friends are important again.

this week, we will have rainy days...but Cheer up! cheer up!
Ciao Ciao:-)

happy weekend

2005-06-25T00:21:00.000-07:00

last Friday, we finish literature paper!Yeahhhhh!
so, I want to enjoy this weekend!
at first, I woke up early and had my hair cut and dyed.
next, My circle members gather and play Volley ball in Katahoko sports center.
it was very very hotday and we sweated a lot!!
In the evening, I took part in Natsumi's birthday party!!
We had a very happy and nice time!

On Sunday, I and Midori went to Osaka Business Park and Osaka sports center
because we have a class that students have to write reports about some archtevture.
These buildings are bulit to save environment.
in OBP there are some offices.
however, not only buildings but also some trees are there.
there roads are enough wide to walk.
as you know, Road from Hirakata station to Kansaigaidai is too narrow!!
Osaka sports center is very interesting structure.
its surface are coverd with grass.
http://images.search.yahoo.co.jp/bin/search?p=%C2%E7%BA%E5%C3%E6%B1%FB%C2%CE%B0%E9%B4%DB&n=4&b=0&c=image&rh=20&d=1&to=1
i think is in interesting to find some buildings which are good for environment.

Sunday

2005-06-20T04:09:00.000-07:00

Yesterday, I went to Gaidai "Bun-paku".
I went to see dance event of a circle which Michika belongs to with Erica, Natsumi, Aya and Michika's friend.
this was first time to see dance event.
When I saw first group's dance, I got excited!! it was very coooooooooooooooooooool!
when Michika's group was dancing, I thought she was very good dancer :-)
frankly speaking, i have had no interest in dance.
however, if there was an oppotunity to see it again, i would go for sure!
after the dance, we had a lunch at my house and my holiday was over.

oh, a new week starts again...and June will pass soon.
i am happy that summer vacation comes gradually, but we have a lot of things to do!:-<

Energy

2005-06-13T04:38:00.000-07:00

we are learning about energy.
I found how i spent energy per day. now i, we seem not to be able to live without energy.
however, long long time ago, people did not have any energy and they lived by their own power.
When i notice that , I am surprised at development of human beings again.
Today, we hold a lot of problems and these peoblems seem to be mainly caused by desire of people.
A humen being has done not only good and nice things but also bad and negaitive actions...
I sometimes feel like living without electric tools, like PC, cell-phones, light, and.... dictionary??
i feel that these materials are not so important.they are kinds of options.
but why do i live with them every day every day every day...
I want to go back to days when i didnt use them.
I prefer letter and hand writing to e-mail and word!!!

When I was in junior-high school, I had a debate about nuclear power plant.
Our team was against the power and suggest solar power.
Even today I think that solar power has a great possibility as renewable enegy source.
i wish this earth remain forever

do not waste food

2005-06-05T06:06:00.000-07:00

this weekend i took part in an event of camp as one of circle activities.

the night, we planned to cook curry rice for dinner.

we cooked it last year too, but there was a bad behavior.

we bought too much groceries and brought too much rice.

As a result, too much curry and rice became leftover.

what we could was to eat amount of food,

and eventually we threw them away.

some of members cared the behavior.

why did nobody notice that we chose such amount of groceries??

why did not member who took part in the last year tell us?

Therefore, i didnt want to regret this year.

and our group talked about it in advance.

so this time we didnt leave food.

i am happy because i had happy time.

agricuclture

2005-05-31T19:47:00.000-07:00

i think vegetables differ depending on countries.
in Japan, most of vegetalbes are very small.
in Germany or other european countries, those looks large.
and as Scott said, shapes of vegetables are very beautiful.
i was very surprised at it , however, i felt a little unnutural...
Vegetables with a little strange shapes are often not chosen.
it is natural that Vegetables were born differently as human being were born with their own characteristics.
thinking of this, i am sorry that vegetables....do you think so?
Stores in Japan wrap vegetables in packs or with polystyrene and for me they use too much them.
vegetables dont easily get injured!!! they dont need wrapping so much.......it is mu opinion.

June will come soon

2005-05-30T04:53:00.000-07:00

Hi! it has neen a little long time since i wrote last blog...two manths will have passed since this year started.how do you think? I was getting tired.
Last sunday, i stayed at home and relaxed.
Even though some people might think or scold my action was waste of time!! you should do other things!, dont think so only this time!! Please.
May is a very nice season. almost every day, it is sunny. people would want to go out without any reason . however, i feel it is too hot thesedayse. aversge of temperature seems to be much higher than last year or a few year ago. is it only for me that it is felt so? i wonder whether it occuers because of world warming.
if i had a baby in the future, and when th baby grow up, how does this world appear??
i am afraid of it.
June will come. it means that rainy season comes.
my feeling may be a little sad or lose cheerfulness.
no! NO!I have to keep high-spirited!
new week begins!

Food production

2005-05-20T03:53:00.000-07:00

In today's class, I found that the origin of global issues might be food.

Some countries conflicts each other because they gain territory, money, or development.

the reason Why developments are needed is that the country have to help people in the country living, keep their own culture, or remain itself.

how should the country do in order to do those things?

people should be alive.

how are they be alive? it will be possible by feedig people enough.

Everything that every people do is for living.

If every people gained enough food. there are no need to strrugle.

i have never noticed that.

when i found that, i notice how foods are important.

i really think that good balance of food may solve global issues.

however,i wonder from when the food balance are broken??

population

2005-05-11T23:11:00.000-07:00

We are learning population now and i often think about population of future.
how many babies do you want in your future??
to be honest, idont wanna so many many many babies.
if too many babies were in my family, i need more lack of money, i cant anything except housework...
dont you think so??
in high school. my teacher said that something may happen in future so that increasing population stops.
the cause will ve virus, disease, war...or something
i cant believe but im afraid of it.
Has anyone heard this??

Now, Japan is holding too many older poople, and so many old people live more longer.
i get tired of thinking economic condition when i become older.
i wonder how i live everyday...
i have some worries
i dont know whether i actually gain pension in the future,
i dont know i will be able to live with only pension??

Golden week

2005-05-08T20:33:00.000-07:00

how was your Golden week?? did you enjoy it?? I did ...maybe!
as you know I was in Hiroshima. I used Shinkansen to go back to my hometown .
but i was very afraid of it because two weeks ago there was an accident in Amagasaki.
I was very surprised because i didn believe that accident of trains caused such terrible accident.
i thought that if it happend in rural area, nothing such terrible happend again and again.
trains dont make haste and dont run so fast...
but everyday, people who use trains need to arrive on time. i wonder whether is that only in Japan?? dont other countries make haste to commute their office or school??
moreover, i can believe the behavior of JR officers after the accident.
I wonder why they are so stupid?? are they people with morality??
i worry people who survived the accident.
if i were one of them, i could never ride on train again,
when i watched a TV which interview the survivers i felt very sad... and anger toward the accidents.
i wish this accident necer happen...

think about a precious city

2005-04-25T04:44:00.000-07:00

Last week I watch a TV about Venezia in Italywith my friends.
Venezia is a man-made island and in danger of diappearing. one reason is global warming.
It was 1996 when i visited city.
I was nine years old and loved the city very much.
during my visiing, it rained and there were some steps in whole city so that people dont get wet.
i am afraid of the day when Venezia goes into sea.
i dont want to lose my favorite city...

my another goal for this semester

2005-04-13T06:39:00.000-07:00

I regret I was very very negative person yesterday...
I thought only very tiny things.
So, today i try to think widely and talk about my feeling and goal in this semester.

First, what I want to achive in this semester is to think logically and fast in English.
I think so far I can't express my feeling as I thought. I might have changed a little what i thought and told them because I didn' t know proper English words or thought slowly.

Second goal is to do my very very very very best for completing English.
As you know, I like Italian very much and I find its interest as a language.
different from English, Italian is very old word.
some words have changed from its original words, other words are similar to English , Spanish or German. Of course, if I can study there, I will not able to spend time to speak English than now.
Therefore I wish that I study in Italy as an exchange student to learn Italian.
I think I need to have self-confidence a student who can speak English well before I finish this semester or this year.

At last, in this class, we wil study Global Issues.
when I dream my future, I think only my thing or what I want to do.
However,If I were not born in Japan but in a country that hold many problems like dispute or famin, could I dream what I dream now??
Is it right to dream only my dream??
So,I wish I can find what I can do for solving Gloal Issues, on the hand my drem coming true.
But....does this thought seem to be high-sounding ideas for you??

what are goals for IES this semester

2005-04-11T18:02:00.000-07:00

I want to be able to listen everything in English and understand them. I need to spend more time in English outside the IES class. And I need more vocabraries which are used in general conversation to express everything what I want to say or talk. Moreover, I want to get used to talk in informal conversation and make more frineds with many foreign student.

I might feel that I don't like English so much as before. When I was in high school, I went to
see cherry blossoms with many foreigners. I felt that speaking English was very interesting for me. But now, I get nervous when I use English. So, I want to regain my earyly love for English and I enjoy learning and using English again!

my goals are to make my life in English and love English again.
