learning language story

I have studied English, French, Korean, and Chinese ever since. The reason I study those language is that. I watched French movie “ Ameri”. I have been interested in French culture and language, so I studied French. I went to New Zealand and then. I made Korean and Chinese friends there. I heard from them about Korean and Chinese culture. I have been interested in those cultures since then, so I study Korean and Chinese. The other reason I study language is to communicate with people who live in foreign country. That’s why I study language.

My first experience of studying foreign country language is elementary school student. When I was an elementary school student, I started studying English at calm school. The reason I stared studying English is that. I had a friend whose nationality is America. I always hang out with him and touched American culture, so I came to be interested in American culture. I want to be an English speaker, so I decided to study English. At that time, I studied three times a week. I studied writing skill, listening skill, reading skill, and speaking skill. I did not think that English is difficult when I was an elementary school student. I was really interested in English and want to speak English, so I stared studying English.

Now, I study English, French, Korean, and Chinese. When I was freshman, I watched French movie “Ameri” Since then, I have been interested in French language and culture. I took a French class French is very difficult for me. Its grammar and pronunciation is too complex for me, but I lave France. That’s why I study French.

I study Korean and Chinese once a week now. The reason I study these language is that. When I studied English in New Zealand for one month, I made Korean and Chinese friends there. Then, I heard their country’s story and I’m very interested in their culture. From then, I think that I want to communicate with them in their mother tongue.

When I became sophomore, I took Chinese and Korean language class. Korean is similar to Japanese. Its grammar and pronunciation is very easy, but letter is too difficult to memorize. I work hard because my Korean friends sent me letter written in Korean, so I study Korean.

Chinese is very easy, because we often use Chinese character, so it is easy to start. However, its pronunciation is too difficult and Japanese people pronunciation can not understand what Japanese said, however, my friend who is from china says to me “ you should study Chinese to communicate with me in Chinese, so I study much harder.

In the future, I want to get a job related in English. I want to speak with other people who are from oversea in English, so I will study English much harder than now. Maybe, I will go to America or England after graduating Kumamoto Gakuen University to study English deeper and be able to speak to English fluently. I want to go language school in England, and make many friends who live in foreign country. To communicate with other people who are from foreign country is really fun for me. I want to live in foreign country and work there, so learning English is essential for me. Moreover, if I could master English completely, I would study Chinese next. I want to speak at least English and Chinese. I want to live in foreign country and communicate with people who from foreign country. That is why I study English in the future.

Learning many languages is too difficult and confuse, but I have to study language for the future. I study French because I am really interested in French culture. I study Korean and Chinese because I have to communicate not only English but also their mother tongue sometimes. I study English for the future and make my dream come true. To communicate with other who is from all over the world is very important for me. That’s why I study many languages. (679 words)

I read impressed news

I want you to read this news and think about your family, and I want to hear your opinion.
the news is that. From mirror.co.uk
My son's heart has failed twice and he's still alive
By James oore 30/10/2009

Imagine being told your child’s heart is failing and he will die without a new one – for mum Tracey Doran, it’s a nightmare she has already faced twice.
It was the news she had been dreading for six years. As doctors told Tracey Doran her seven-year-old son needed a new heart, she was terrified – because they had been through all this before.
Lee didn’t just need a new heart, he needed ANOTHER new heart. And Tracey knew all too well that not only was finding a donor heart a chance in a million, but Lee’s body accepting a second new heart would be miracle too.
“You see your child lying in a hospital bed with a machine keeping him alive and it breaks you inside,” says Tracey.
“But this was terrifying because he seemed to be in a worse state than last time.”
Against all the odds, Lee had his second life-saving transplant last month.
Lee’s problems started when he was just a year old.
The tot, who was staying with mum Tracey at his grandparents’ house in Liverpool, had spent a night vomiting and was struggling to breathe by the next morning.
Tracey, 37, took him straight to Alder Hey Children’s Hospital. “I was terrified,” recalls mum-of-five Tracey. “Lee had always been a healthy baby.
“He was in such a bad way when we got to the hospital he was taken to intensive care. But the doctors couldn’t find out what was wrong with him.”
They first suspected meningitis, then pneumonia. But both illnesses were ruled out after four days.
“The worst part was not knowing what was wrong with him,” says Tracey, from Aberdeen. “I stayed by his side crying my eyes out for four days. It was such a shock seeing him in that state.”
Doctors soon decided Lee should be taken to Great Ormond Street Hospital for more tests.
He was flown by air ambulance to the top London children’s hospital, while Tracey traveled down by taxi.
“When I arrived I was told Lee had died three times in the helicopter as his heart had stopped and doctors had to resuscitate him,” recalls Tracey, whose other children are Perry, 17, Rhian, 11, Kaylee, 10 and Ellee, four.
Within hours, Lee was diagnosed with heart muscle disease cardiomyopathy – a virus that ravages the heart and disappears from the body before it can be detected.
“I was devastated,” says Tracey. “I’d wanted to know what was wrong with Lee, but once I knew I wished I hadn’t been told.
“I was terrified I was going to lose him.”
While Lee’s name was put on the donor list, he was kept alive by a machine that pumped his heart for him.
All Tracey could do was wait.
But luckily, after just eight days, the family were told of a heart that could be a match for Lee – it was in Brussels.
“During the operation we were given regular updates and at one point we were told the heart had stopped and he was being kept alive by machines.
“I was a nervous wreck. Being updated during the operation was a comfort, but there was so much I didn’t understand.
“All I knew was that my baby was on the brink of death and I wanted to take him home.” After 21 hours the op was over but Lee wasn’t out of the woods – his body had to accept the heart.
“In the days after the operation he had a stroke while the body adjusted to its new heart,” says Tracey.
“I later found out that he could have been dead within hours if I hadn’t got him to the hospital when I did.
To Tracey’s delight, little fighter Lee went from strength to strength and after 10 weeks in hospital he was allowed home.
The family were told the heart could last anything from five to 10 years, and they should treat every day as a miracle.
“Lee’s development had obviously been delayed and he had a lot of catching up to do,” recalls Tracey.
“He started to walk and talk and we hoped he could be just like a normal baby. But if he caught any other virus it would knock him for six and he’d have to go to hospital again.
“As winter drew in, Lee got sick easily and spent a lot of time back on the children’s ward.
“He also had four-week checks on his heart at Newcastle’s Freeman Hospital, which phased down to 12-week checks later.
“I knew any illness could be serious, and I was dreading the time when his new heart would stop working.
“But it wasn’t all bad, I was just glad he was still with us. He loved Liverpool football club and he played football when he was up to it.”
Over the next five years, Lee grew stronger and stronger.
“We went to Disneyland, in 2007, which was arranged by the Make A Wish Foundation, and it was amazing to see Lee so happy.”
But then, in July this year, the day Tracey had been bracing herself for arrived.
Lee fell ill again and Tracey took him back to hospital in Aberdeen, where doctors confirmed Tracey’s greatest fear – her son’s heart was
finally failing.
He was flown by air ambulance to the Freeman Hospital in Newcastle, where doctors hooked the seven-year-old to a machine that helped his heart pump.
The search for a second new heart was on.
“Going through it a second time was no easier. The emotions are the same,” says Tracey, who is now separated from husband Lee, 33. “There was nothing I could do. But at least this time Lee was awake and could talk to his brothers and sisters and me.
“He’d never known that he already had a new heart, but while he was in the hospital I told him. He took it well.”
After two weeks, a heart was found and Lee went into theatre last month for his second transplant.
“It was another nerve-wracking wait to see if his body would take the heart,” says Tracey. “I knew the battle was far from over.
“Two days later he had a stroke, like he had the first time, and his kidneys also began to fail. It was terrifying.”

While Lee lay fighting for his life, Tracey got more bad news when the family home in Aberdeen was burgled.
Fighter Lee is still recovering in hospital in Newcastle. Following the stroke, he is partially paralysed down his left side and he is on a dialysis machine as his kidneys are not fully functioning yet.
“I’ve been told he will regain full movement in his body and we’ll have to see how his kidneys react. He has been so brave,” explains Tracey.
“We are indebted to the donors – Lee would not be here if strangers had not been kind enough to donate organs.
“Since his first operation I have signed up as a donor, as have many of my family, and I would urge everyone to do the same.
“Lee might not be here otherwise, so it’s a very worthy cause.
“Hopefully he will be allowed home soon and he can try again to have a normal life.”












News review
The child has failed twice heart surgery, but he is being alive by machine. His mother devastated two times, but she tried. I read this article and think many things.

I have to appreciate that I’m always fine. I thought that it is natural I live happily till I read this article. However, no matter what he want to live, it is difficult. He always fight with his disease, I want to cheer him up. I think his mother think what I can do. Not only he but also his mother fights with her fear. I hope that the third time surgery is success.

I also feel love of family from this article. His family’s belief that they don’t lose him moves his family to take him surgery. I have to appreciate being family. I ‘m rarely in home because of part-time and hanging out with my friends, so I want to stay my home and talk with my family as long as I can. I want everybody to read this article and want them to think about family.

Viewing website

I like GAP clothes, its clothes are so fashionable, so I choose GAP site. It is so good, its English is very easy and the site shows almost pictures. You can enjoy the site although you can’t understand English, and there are many items that not sell in Japan. However, why people view the GAP website? I think viewing GAP site is very good because it has many advantages. However, it has also disadvantages

There are many good points to view a GAP website. For example, we can know what is in and something new on the website, so we can save our time to choose clothes that we want to wear at shop. If we put own size on the web, your size clothes appear immediately. Then click the photos of clothes, the clothes detail appear. We can also view another color clothes on the web. This is very good because we can know what clothes fit us and if your size is not made, we can know that before going store.

There are also so many categories, for example, jacket, jeans, goods, shoes and so on, so if you want to buy sweater, click the sweater button, then you can view all sweaters on the website. There are many sweaters, blue, green, black and so on and many types. It is hard to choose at the store. If you go shopping at GAP store, there are many clothes so we can’t look for clothes that we want soon. However, we can do that on the bed and having dinner so we don’t have to walk around at the store.

We can know information about Sale additionally, so we can go shopping when GAP clothes are very cheap. We can buy clothes cheaply any time if you go shopping during sale. In Japan, GAP clothes are little bit expensive, so we are glad if we can buy the clothes cheaply. GAP jacket is about 20,000 to 30,000 yen, but during sale, it becomes 9,000 to 10,000 yen. Thus, it is very happy to know information about sale through the website.

These points that we can know what is in and something new, we can look for clothes that we want soon and we can know when sale start are very good to view GAP website.

On the other hands, there are also bad points. For example, you viewed website to look for clothes that you want, and then you go shopping to buy clothes that chosen on the website. However, it is not what you imagined on the website. It is my experience. Moreover, your size is M, but GAP size M doesn’t fit you, this case you have to try on.

To improve this case, you choose three or five clothes on the website, and then go shopping and you choose clothes that you had chosen on the web three or five clothes at shop. We have to know our GAP size, but you try on clothes once, then you don’t have to do so next time, and we buy our GAP size clothes, so we don’t have to try on every time.

It is very good chance to save time, so if you are busy but want to go shopping to buy clothes.

That’s why I love to view GAP website. First, we can save our time. Second, we can know when sale start. Third, we can look for clothes that we want to buy immediately, so I recommend viewing GAP website. (587words)

Exchange student

I will go to New Zealand as an exchange student one year from February. I had visited New Zealand once for one month. I’m really looking forward to going there, but I’m so sad. I can’t come back Japan during studying abroad, so I can’t see my friends and family one year. Friends are so important for me. I can’t bear that I can’t hang out Japanese friends, but I want to speak English fluently, so I will work hard. (80 words)
