the aim of new school term

        In this spring vacation, I establish the aim of new school term. There are bouts many aspect of myself. First, it is about studying. Last year, I think that I didn't prepare for classes perfectly. Especially, I didn't study perfectly before reading class. In addition, once in a whole classes I was little sleepy, so I need to sleep enough every night. Then, it is about helping my parents. Both my father and mother have each work, so they can’t do housework sometime. Therefore, I need to do housework as much as possible, for example washing clothes, washing plates, cleaning, and making dishes. Especially, I want to make dishes because I like cooking very much. Next, it is about waking up early because I don’t want to be late for class. Actually, I could it every day when I was high school and junior high school student, but I started part time job at evening last year, so I can’t it now. Maybe it will be difficult for me but I need to go to bed early time after I back to home. 

The host family letter

Dear host family,

      Hey! My name is Momoko. I am a KGU student in japan. I’m really looking forward to meeting you. In this time, I want to introduce about me and know about you, so I wrote this letter.

      Now, in japan, it is very cold, but I like this season because I can celebrate Christmas day and New Year’s Day. In this year, I spent Christmas day with my friends and family.

 First, I went to a restaurant and had a buffet lunch with my friends. I enjoy eating many kinds of dishes. I especially enjoy cooking waffles, but I think I am not good at cooking it, so I want you to teach me how to cook delicious waffles.

     After that, I went to my friend’s house by car. Of cause, I can’t drive a car, so my friend drives. I knew that she had a driver’s license, but I was surprised when she drives a car! By the way, how old is that people can start getting a driver’s license in Australia? Is it uncomfortable that not having a driver’s license?

     After that, I watched a movie called “Haul’s moving castle” at her home. I like movies very much. In japan, Ghibli movies are very famous. What movie is famous in Australia?

     Finally, I went a restaurant to buy a Christmas cake. I chose a chocolate cake because my brother likes chocolate cake very much. I ate it with my family.

I have an older sister and younger brother. My sister is a Kumamoto University student. She is very smart, so I am helped by her many times, moreover she is very gentle. However, she is going to leave Kumamoto for Tokyo on April, so I am very sad.

      My brother is a junior high school student. He is very interested in space science, so he has many books about it.

      The other day, I was given a Christmas present by my father. It was coconut oil which I wanted to have before, so I was very glad. It is very good for the human body, so this oil is very popular. I think I am a little bit of health nerd. What is more, my birthday is the same as Ieyasu Tokugawa’s birthday who was also a health nerd too, but actually, I can’t develop a healthy body in spite of having some knowledge about health.

Therefore, I want you to give me advice.

Recently, I’m interested in Japanese dishes because they are very good for health. They were registered as an Intangible culture heritage. In addition, I want to be a person who can convey Japanese culture in foreign countries in my future.

My mother let me study many Japanese cultural activities, so I can play the koto and do Japanese calligraphy, flower arrangement, tea ceremony, and dancing. In this sense, I am deeply grateful to my parents. However, I need to get high English skill, so I want to talk with you a lot of the time even if I can’t speak English closing at first.
