My last essay for the test!

The writing class was one of the require subjects this year too. In this class, we were to set up our own blog. It was the first time that I had my own blog. That meant that we had to keep blogging and post on it. We are also required to write some essays and book reviews every week. That was a little tough, because all I had to do was not only writing.

I had expected that I could improve my skills in English grammar and choosing proper words. Last year, my writing teacher gave me advice about grammar and how to express and choose words. However, with this year’s method, I could seldom receive advice from the tutor, so I felt sorry about that. I think, however, this year’s writing class helped me to be independent. Besides, I could get used to using a computer. This is one of good points, I think.

I could learn the importance of planning by myself. It was because we had a norm about the number of word counts. If I had not planed, I would have trouble at the last minute in each semester. I needed to post various stories regularly. I also came to know pleasure of writing and sharing the information with others about my everyday life, vacation, school, classes, friends, exercise, family and foods. I learned how to organize an essay, and it helped me to think in a logical way. I think I am better at typing now, and it must be useful for me in the future.

Finally, I would like to refer to my plans. I still think that we need to study grammar systematically, if we want to make progress in English grammar. Of course, now that is difficult for each of us. However, I would like to be cautious about my speaking and writing from a grammatical view too. I will probably go abroad and stay in other countries again. When I talk to foreigners, I can ask them to correct my English.

I thank the tutors who thought of the plan of our blogging for our writing classes. I felt it was tough class, but I hope what I learn in this class will benefit me. Our writing class and all of required class for 4 English skills end. I will do my best to cultivate my English skills by myself. I will plan about my studies of next year from now on. Thank you very much!

Classes Burst! Run to the End!

Hello, and long time no see! My winter vacation has passed so quickly. ) - :
Today, classes have started again. I do not really feel that school started again. I am still in winter vacation....Ha ha!
We have classes as usual until January 19th, and then the term of tests will start on 20th. We have a lot of test, so I must study harder than usual.
I have to write three reports and started writing a report just today. I am caring about tests of 'English Grammar', 'Intercultural Communication', 'Korean', and 'International Society and Japan'. We also have an English interview for the speaking class this Friday.
However, the rest of this fall semester is not so much. It will pass so quickly! Then, I will enjoy the spring vacation. I am really looking forward to it!
Now, I will run run run, and drive to the end!

Best essay in other class ☆☆☆

We took a look at essays in 1c writing class. I chose HANAKO's movie review. Her blog is named "RARA EXPRESS". That is interesting. Her title is "Divorce~Mrs, Doubtfire~". I think the title is unique, because an impression that many people may get from this movie is about humor, laugh, and love. Of course, the divorce is also one of its themes, but I do not think many people handle this theme, when they talk about this movie.

Anyway, I would like to explain why I chose her review as a best essay in the class. I found it interesting, in that she refers to each scene, and then, give her opinions. She is thoughtful. I felt that she can and should give her opinion more! The sentences are so easy to read that I can tell what the main points are. That is also one of the reason.

Her essay is here. The URL is below. Please check it out.

New Classes!

I take two new classes this semester. I am thinking of talking about them today.
One of them is about the affair of UK. We studied about which name is right, though there are so many names for it. For example, UK, Great Britain, England. In fact, its official name is The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. Besides, we learned about its four parts. First, in England, people are called English and speak English. In Scotland, people are called Scottish, and their language is also called Scottish. In Wales, people are called Welsh, and the language is called Welsh too. In Northern Ireland, people there and their language are called Irish. Hoo, this is a good review for me.
The other of two new classes is for data processing with a computer. I am really bad at using computer, but I know that it might be required that I can use a computer when I get a job. That's why I started challenging to use a computer. The class will have a test of typing, that I am really bad at, so I am very trying to type without looking down the keyboard, typing this sentence now. It is so tough to practice the blind typing, but I think it is great opportunity for making progress in computer. I hope that I will reach this end!
I will make the great use of these classes too!

○ 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!

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 I think about Blogging

We have our own blog on the Internet, and we use it for the writing class. We post our essays, reviews, diaries almost every day. We need to do it 5 times a week, except for a book review. I have made efforts on it, and now I would like to refer to what about think about blogging.

I think it is helpful for us in order to keep writing regularly, but it is tough, because we are usually pushed for time. I am busy, so it is not easy to switched the computer on and think about what to write every day. However, I think everyone else is also busy, so I will do my best for blogging this year.

3.2. Best Book Review

Selection and Assessment: Which of those book reviews do you feel is the best that you've written this semester, and why? Please remember that a complete answer is better than a short answer, and give at least two reasons to support your assessment.
  • I think my best book review is BR1-09: The New House. It is because I wrote about my own experience and my hope, not about the book.

4.4. Overall presentation

What have you done to enhance the overall presentation of your blog? List and explain the three most important content, formatting, layout, or other presentation changes or enhancements that you have made on your blog this semester.
  1. ... Layout of the template: I changed it at the tuen of seasons and fitted it to each season.
  2. ... To be regular: I tried to post on my blog almost everyday.
  3. ... Informative content: I included my own opinions. For example, I wrote about my own experience and hopes in book reviews, not only the story plots.

5.0. Additional reflections on your blog writing

  • ... To write diaries every day was so hard for me. It is because I am busy and not used to writing every day. However, I think it was helpful for my English now. To think about the design of my blog is pleasant, but it is on the Internet. That point bothers us, because we need to protect the private information carefully.

6.0. Suggestions for your peers and successors

  • ... I think what is important is to try to post diaries and book reviews early in a semester. Short posts are also okay, if we keep trying to write on our blogs.
