The next blog assignment

This week I thought I would leave it up to you. What would you like to say to the others in the class? Don't forget that it's up on the Internet, so anyone in the world with Internet access can read it. But mostly it will be read by your classmates, so write something that you think will interest them.

See if you can put something up here that makes the other students interested enough to write a comment to your message. See if you are interested enough in anything the other students post here to write a comment. I'm curious to find out what you think the other students in the class will be interested in.

Next Class.......

Recently, I'm very tired. Because I must be apresent classes after school !! It's very hard......

I want to learn about "Relative Clauses" in chapter13. I don't understand these well...So I am sometimes confused about the way to use relative clauses. In paragraph, we must write without omission. Therefore,I think it is important to know them well. But other chapters are also important. After English ⅢB classes finish, I will read and learn this text by myself.

Next class...

The topic on this week is ...
"Which chapter in the textbook should we do next?" isn't it??

I think the CHAPTER5 is best for us.
Reasons are almost same as opinions written by other classmates.
In CHAPTER4,we learned about Logical Order.
And through the CHAPTER5,we can practice using them.

Also I think it is better for us to do the page 51 to 53 again
at the beggining of class.
We would finished these pages as a home study...but
I think that look back about Logical Order before we study
the CHAPTER5 is more effective!

My bad! m(__)m

I didn't realize classes were cancelled on Friday for the entance exam Saturday and Sunday.

I went to a Union party tonight and got drunk. They told me there are no classes tomorrow. (I had wondered why there was a party on Thursday.) So there is no class tomorrow. I will have to figure out a blog assignment for this coming week. I can't give you a regular writing assignment for next week. But I can give you a blog assignment. But not now. I'm drunk, and I have to go home. My doctor has already told me I'm drinking too much, but that's Japan, there are all these 'nomikai' to go to.

(@_@) WATCH THIS SPACE!

(as they say in America) and you will find the blog assignment when I sober up.

(Tomorrow when I am sober I will try to come up wiht another blog assignment for you.)

next lesson

The article of this blog in this week is "which chapter in the textbook should we do next".

I think we should study in order. In a textbook, it is being explained to turn that it is important.
If we study next chapter , we will have to use the previous skill we have learned.

So we should study along the textbook. This helps us get new English skill or technics in writing reports.

I think we should learn chapter5. It's my idea.

Should do next...

My opinion about "which chapter in the textbook should we do next" is easy, we simply do Chapter 5 Kinds of Logical Order that the next chapter.
"Why do you think so?"
It is simply, too! Because, most textbooks are constituted as we do from the first page.
Therefore, I think we should do chapter 5.

Let's go on in order

I think we sould advance CHAPTER 5 , because I find to proceed in order is better. If we do other chapters, we may lose textbook's content. Such as "~in CHAPTER 7, you have done the~" no, we haven't done(^^; Although we acquired some English skills, so we can manage any chapter, but methodical learning is important, I feel.

And I have a question. When is the next English ⅢB class? Next Friday, thare is going to held The National Center Test for universities, in our school. So many classes are canceled(not every classes). How about English ⅢB? If we don't have class on next Friday, I am relax...because I don't have to write paragraph hurriedly...

There are too many examinations in short term(>_<)!

Class started!

I left Ibaraki on December 7th and I returned safe to Hirosaki.
Before I left,I was really worried about the weather in Hirosaki.
Especially about storms and snows!
But the weather in Hirosaki was not so bad.
Of course,it is much colder than my hometown...('-';)
I glad we have a mild winter this year(^~^)/

So,the vacation ended and classes started.
How are things with you?
I really really have to do a lot of homeworks...
And I need to study hard because I have examinations near at hand!

I will do my best!(^^)

I'm addicted to making cakes★

       I have never made any cakes or confectionery so far.
In my parent's home, there isn't oven and microwave oven, because it is said that food which use microwave oven is not good our health before. So I don't know how to use microwave oven when I started live alone. Therefore I really worried whether I could use it safely without breaking it when I used it first(^^;
As I become accustomed to use it , I wanted to make cakes for the first time. So at Christmas day , last year, I made a cake. It was verry fun!! I became like making cakes. During winter vacation, I made some kinds of cakes three times.
I'm busy recently, so I can't make cakes. In spring vacation, I want to make them.

one day

From Tuesday, we start classes. Oh, our winter weekend ended.It's so sad.

But we have only one month to study classes include this English class.
We have to take the endof term test and pass them.
The first grade in the university becomes an end in three more months.

Let's enjoy the rest of the day!

Start classes(-_-

We started classes since this week.
I spent an irregular life in this winter vacation, so I am bad condition now(^^;
The bad condition is... sleeping, having a thick head, etc.
However, I gradually return to the good condition.
I try many studies this year, too!

First,I'm sorry that I couldn't write about my life.

I ate a lot of delicious food.For example,New year's special dishes,zoni,light meal of soba tradisionally eaten on New Year's Eve...etc.
And I went to New Year's sale.I bought many clothes.I enjoyed shopping.
I relaxed in my home.I could get the most out of a holiday.
See you next class.

Greetings from Atlanta!


I'm here at the annual meeting of the American Historical Association. I'm seeing a lot of old friends and meeting a lot of new ones. Unfortunately I'm not giving a paper myself, but I did find out I'll be giving a paper in Britain this year. In the meantime Atlanta is beautiful. I wish I had more time to explore the city and see some of the historical sites. But I have to be back for classes next week.

I dropped my computer going through airport security and cracked the screen. That was a good excuse to replace my laptop, which was already about 5 years old, and get a new one with wireless and a camera. So I've taken my own picture, used the hotel wireless to get online, and uploaded the photo to this blogpost.

SEE YOU ALL FRIDAY!!! (^_^)/~~~~

***Happy New Year!***

Hello everyone. How did you spend your New Year's Day?

I went shopping and spent a quarter of my New Year's gift...

I know that I was foolish, but money is the thing which should be used!!(>o<;)


Our school begin soon, so I have to do my homework.

And this month, I think we will have some exams.(--;)

I hope we will pass!!

***Before New Year***

I'm sorry that I couldn't tell you about my life Before New Year.
I didn't have a computer which can use the Internet.

I worked at a cram school (juku) as a teacher.

I teached English to some students.

And all of them are junior high school students.

One student asked me every classes that "how much do you get?"

Of course I couldn't tell him truth, so I said to him "I earn one hundred million yen."

He was very surprised and said laughing "really? It's so high!!"

He was very funny student.(~~;)

I wonder the time passes fast.
We have few classes but let`s enjoy it (^^)

I relaxedly stayed at home during my winter vacation.
It was nice days because I could clean out my room and help my mother in preparing meals.
Of course I went out,too♪
Oh, I heard if you spend money on New Year`s Day as beginning of a year,
           you will lose fortune of money at the year.
Did you know it??
I believed it,didn`t buy anything.
I think it`s a only superstition...(^^;)
What else supertitions do you know ?

I came back to Hirosaki

I spend New Year's Day in my parens' home. Our family celebrate from Desember 31, so I had eaten a lot of delicious food. Of course, I ate soba for seeing the old year out and the New Year in. During shougatsu , I repeated eating and sleeping. I mean, I spend this year's shougatsu sleeping.......So, I really worry whether I can get up early when university begins(^^;

I came back to Hirosaki today. Now I listening to music as I write this. Maybe , in this night I'll watch movies*****This winter have not very much snow. It is unnusual but I'm glad it's easy to walk.

I wanted to travel somewhere...

I am still in my parents' home(^ ^;

Ah... everyone, A HAPPY NEW YEAR!! But, it is January 4th today(;^^A

Now, I went to Sapporo city in Hokkaido last week and took some pictures.

This city has a festival that is called "white illumination" now.
The following pictures are in this festival.

How do you like these pictures? These are beautiful, aren't these?

This year it snows little in Hokkaido.
Is this the effect on global warming?
Hmm... I don't know. That's all!

Though it is a New Year holiday...

Though it is a New Year holiday,
I went to the University today.
I take the English phonetics class in the pedagogy
and this winter vacation's assigments are lisning to English and practice reading with a cassette tape.
This morning, I tried to listen to it.
However, a cassette tape didn't say anything...
"What's happening!?"
I opened the audio player's cover and found the tape had snapped!!!
"Oh...I must get a new one."
I send E-mail Mr.Noro right away and went to the University.



I got a new one a littele while ago☆
By the way, my personal computer remain breaking,
and I'm writing this in Kamidote square because the university's library is a New Year holiday★
Umm...I'm tired today..
