My hometown

 I had never moved out from my hometown, Sapporo, for eighteen years. So, I know some attraction of there.
 Sapporo is surrounded by small mountains and hills. I like the views from those mountains and hills. For example, the scenery of Sapporo from the top of Mt. Maru (円山) is one of the most beautiful scenery, I think. Mt. Maru is 225 meter high, so it's easy to hike there. Some wild birds that inhabit there are fed by some hiker, and get used to people. Last January, I went up there with my friend, and it's a very exciting memory for me.
 Other than that, when I lived there, I had been to many places and events by myself, or with my friends or family.For instance, Odori park, the central municipal city  library, Sapporo station, some festivals be held at a park or a shrine, and so on.
 I love my hometown because, I have many memories in there.

Happy 10th anniversary, blog!

The class is no longer called English 3B, but Advanced English B, and the students don't seem scared of computers or the Internet anymore, but it's still the same class and still the same blog for 10 years today. Welcome new students, and I hope you have a good time and learn something in this semester's English composition class. Please take some time to read old blog posts first. -JP http://iiibclassblog.blogspot.jp/2005/04/welcome.html
