 Hello,I was born and bred in Hirosaki city. Today I will write about how much I love my home town! I have two reasons why Hirosaki is a nice city.

 One is that it has fashnating events  for each seasons. For example The Sakura Festival for spring, The Neputa Festival and The Firework Festival of Iwaki river for summer, The  autumal tints for autamn,and The garden lantern with snow Festival. And in winter we can go skiing easily.

Citizens can feel the change of seasons through these events.

 The other reason is that there are many sweets shops in Hirosaki. I decide to go these shops for reward for my perseverance. 

 I am happy if you like Hirosaki city too!

 Thank you for reading.

about hometown

My hometown is Kashiwa, Chiba. There are a lot of shops and many customers in Kashiwa station, which is center area of Kashiwa. Kashiwa is often called "Shibuya in Chiba" . Kashiwa has an official character "Kashiwani", which is a crocodile. He is very cute!
  Chiba is famous for Tokyo Disney Resort,which is in Urayasu,but Kashiwa is not so near to Urayasu.
  I graduated from Fnabashi high school at Funabashi, Chiba. Funabashi is famous for "Funassy",who is a fairy of pears. My school is located near to Higashifunabashi Station and Funabashi Keibajo Station. Funabashi Keibajo Station is near to Lalaport Tokyo-bay, which is a big shopping mall. It takes less than thirty minutes to walk from my high school to the shopping mall. I often go there with friends, and enjoy shopping and seeing films.Thank you for reading.

 Hello, my name is Reina Odagiri. I was born and bred in Hirosaki city. Today I'm going to write about my       History of club activities.

 I was in track and field club from elementary school days to high school days. In high school I was a player of 400-meter hurdle. It's a very hard event. Actually I don't like doing practice, But I like to get the sence of accomplishment if I win and to be able to make many fliends in tournaments or training camps so I keeped up to be a player for 10 years. The reason why I quited was that I had got a pleasing result. The result was paticipating in The Tohoku Tournament.

about hometown

Hello, I will introduce about my hometown, Osaka. Have you ever been to Osaka? Osaka has many spots to visit, Osaka Castle, Universal Stadio Japan, Kaiyukan aquarium, Shinsaibashi, and so on. Osaka also has unique tasty food, Okonomiyaki and Takoyaki. I like these food very much.

By the way, Osakan, people who live in Osaka, speak their own dialect called "Osaka-ben". "Osaka-ben" is highlighted by words and phrases that have special meanings found only in the Kansai area. Now I'd like to introduce one of my favorite "Osaka-Ben". That is " Shaa-nai". This phrase has many meanings. Its most common usage is when someone is resigned to the fact that something will not turn out as expected. As in "so-ka, sorya shaa-nai na," the speaker is reluctantly admitting resignation, or "I see. That's the way it goes." Not easily translated into English, shaa-nai is closer in meaning and feeling to "que sera sera" in Spanish. It has a positive feeling that looks forward to tomorrow. So I like this word so much.
That's all what I want to let you know about my hometown Osaka. Thank you for reading.

Welcome to Fall Semester 2015 students!

This semester I have two sections of the class that was formerly known as English 3B (advanced composition) for which I created this blog. Welcome aboard, Thursday and Friday morning classes! Since you'll be sharing this blog I hope you'll take some time to get to know each other and exchange greetings and comments with each other.

I'm Professor Philips and I teach this class. You can find my campus website here, but I haven't updated it in a long time. You'll find links to other sites that might help you with your English on the side of this blog itself, as well as on the links section of my website. Please take some time to study what earlier classes have posted on the blog to familiarize yourself with the blog and the kinds of things I assign you to post about in this class. This is your blog now, so feel free to post messages.

I'm a historian by training and inclination, and I've published lots of articles and written or edited several books, but I have several hobbies as well. I like chess, photography, cooking and nature. Italian, Japanese, Chinese, Mexican and Greek and different African cuisines are among those I especially like. American music is a special love of mine, but I also enjoy European, Indian and African musics. Writing is part of my job as a historian and I love good writing. Some of my own writing is on my website, and some of my academic writing is available at academia.edu or google scholar. I have two grown children and a wife in Akita I try to see when I can. Don't ask how old I am, but I'll face mandatory retirement in a few years.

As I explained to you in the class, my main research focus is on Africa, especially Islamic Africa. Here I am talking to an elderly gentleman who helped me a lot with some research I did in Nigeria.

I want to mention something I forgot to mention for the Friday class, too. I have to be somewhere Friday, so class is cancelled for Friday the 9th of October. I'll see you all at the next class, though, and of course your blog assignment is still due. Maybe I should start posting the blog assignments on the blog so that you'll have to visit the blog more regularly. Comments and suggestions about that are welcome. 

I hope you enjoy the class and learn a lot of English. Remember to practice writing every day!
