Hey guys! How r u?
Really sorry for my late messages...! I had some troubles and I couldn`t upload this self introduction on this site.
However, finalley I could make it thanks to Prof.Philips yesterday! So I`d like to introduce myself ;D
My name is Michiko Nara and I`m senior in Hirosaki uni this year.
I was born in Hirosaki and I`m native of Tsugaru direct<3
I went to study abroad to New Zealand last year, from Feb. to Dec. When I arrived there, I had no idea to understand what kiwi people were saying.(they spoke English pretty fast!!!! ) Even though it was really difficult for me to take a bus at first, gradually I got used to NZ life. New Zealand is famous for its variety of the countries of immigrants, therefore there were many people who were kind-hearted and hospitable. I could meet this kind of people a lot and I could understand how much I didn`t know even about my country, Japan. Need less to say, it was truly precious time in my entire life.
My hobbies are making sweets, cooking, listening to music (English songs, Korean songs, Chinese songs…), singing at karaoke, and eating sweets:))
I like riding motorbike as well, and I go to uni via it.
Recently, I prefer learning Chinese so far! I`m studying it hard now in order to communicate with my lovely Chinese friends who I met in NZ, ;) It`s pretty difficult though, so interesting!
I really love English as well in terms of its pronunciation. It sounds me like music some time, and I want to speak it fluently.
I`m really looking forward to studying with you guys and learning how to write down good academic essays from Prof. Philips!
Thank you for your reading my introduction, see you all in the class on Friday:)
Cheers,
Michiko Nara
