Hot & Humid

Finally, the rainy season has past! Now summer has come!

In Kumamoto, it is especially humid, because of the geographical features. So humid in summer, but so cold in winter. Those climates are poles apart. It is so tough for me to ride a bicycle in summer.

Besides, I have two tests in tomorrow's classes. There is no time for being tired out! I will start to study for the tests!

See you tomorrow. Bye now!

○ How to make SCORNS ○

Good evening, every one. How was it today? I gave a presentation in today's class. I spoke about
how to make scorns. This is true story, so please read it!

――Now, let's begin!


Good morning everyone. How are you? Did you have breakfast today? Or do you have breakfast every morning? How many people here do NOT have breakfast? (Could you raise your hand? Thank you.) It is said our body and brain work well, if we have breakfast in the morning.

Today, I’ll introduce a recipe of SCORNS to enrich your morning. Once you experience breakfast is pleasant, you must love it. If you already have it every day, you’ll enjoy more variety of breakfast. I often cut corners, that is, “tenuki” in Japanese, so this recipe I use is very simple. (My instructor advised me that I should have used expressions, like ‘skip’ or ‘simplify’.) Besides, scorns are easy to make, so please master it today. You can make them in 30 minutes or less. There are only 4 steps.

Before you start, you need to prepare ingredients. You don’t have to go to a supermarket. Here are them for about 12 pieces. You need 250g cake flour, four teaspoons baking powder, 50g unsalted butter or margarine, a teaspoon sugar, 70ml milk, 1 egg, and yogurt 50g. That’s all. Please don’t forget to heat the oven up to 190 degrees in this moment. It’s a key point of quick cooking. Time is money in the morning, so please devise for “tenuki”.

First, fill the bowl with cake flour, baking powder and margarine and mix them by hand until lumps disappear. You don’t have to shift the flour. After that, add sugar, yogurt, egg and milk. Add them and mix hard into one volume.

Next, put the whole dough on the counter. Knead it into a thickness of 3cm. If you flour your hands, it becomes much easier.

Then, hollow out with a small cup. Please flour your hands and the cup. Put on an oven tray with a cooking sheet. With a cooking sheet, washing the tray becomes easier.

Finally, bake in the pre-heated oven for about 12 minutes. They’ll smell so nice in several minutes. You must feel satisfied,

This is a plain and basic version. If you want some variety, please add bacon, cheese or chocolate chips, raisins.

That’s all. How was it? In summary, you only need to mix, knead, hollow out and bake in the oven. This recipe is simple, isn’t it? I have made in this way, so I hope you to enjoy it! If it doesn’t go right, please ask me. I’ll help you with pleasure.

Please try it tomorrow morning! Thank you!



――That's all. Thank you for reading!

SUMMER☆

I had hoped that I could stay in other country where English is spoken this summer. Finally, I have got a good news today!

I called a woman and speak with her, who is a Japanese and lives in the United States. I could do it, thanks to my friends' introductions. She is so gentle and friendly, so I could feel really relaxed. Besides, she happily granted my requests. She often undertakes homestays, and it is said that some people stay there repeatedly.

I will plan carefully from now, and I want to make the most use of this chance. I am really looking forward to it. I really appreciate my friends' help.I think I should labor on listening English from now. I hope this summer vacation will be great time for me! I really appreciate my friends' kind.

Listening TEST! (Practice for posting medias)

We will have a test in next listening class. If I do not study for it, it will be difficult for me, so I think I have to study for it. However, I wonder if this song will be on test... ha ha! It is because our listening teacher was very eager and we worked on it for long time. If you listen this song too many times, its melodies will often come up, so be careful! Now, this song is known to many students in our English department. So, I posted it on my blog too for a practice to post medias. Anyway, I will do my best on the listening test! See ya!

Self-intro: THE Sharing

We are to give a presentation in next class(?), so we have to prepare our own power point. Today, I have made a power point about myself. I tried to share the information about some aspects of mine. It does not show all my aspect, but I included various information about me in it. I thought that it is difficult to post medias, because I had not posted the media like this, actually. However, some of my friends helped me to post it, and I could have it done! I could enjoy my own power point. I appreciate their helps. Thanks a lot!

What can I Do This Summer?

I am trying hard for a plan for this summer vacation. I have decided not to study abroad this year, but of course, I am intend to learn English abroad and I want to do it even this year.

My friends introduced me to their acquaintance or friends who live in Australia and United States. There is not so much time left until summer vacation, so it is not certain that I can stay there then, but I hope I can and try for it.

I want to spend this summer vacation more usefully than last year. I think of the saying, "Time flies" as really true. I should go and stay abroad now, because it'll be difficult after I begin to work once. I will share the result about the plan for this summer!
