Esssay2-02a: My favorite place essay.

I like quiet places, so my favorite place is library in university. Because I can study, read books and newspaper, listen CDs, watch DVDs, and sleep there. This library has 3 floors. It is very wide and comfortable.

1st floor, there are lending desk, studying desk, computers, and books. Lending desk is for lending and returning. When I write book reviews, I use it to lend English books. Studying desk, I hardly use them. Computers is 2 how to using. One is free; one is looking the book stock. I have used both. Of course, there are many books there. I don’t read magazines, but I read special books and English book. When I take writing class, I have to write book review. So, I lend many English books. This floor is very useful.

2nd floor, it is my favorite floor in library. Because there are studying desks, computers, rooms, and animation and video corner, and books. I almost use this floor. I use studying desks to study; I can study hard using them. Computers, it is free. When I make essays and book reviews on my blog, I use these computers. Sometimes, I cannot use them because there is no computer be used other student. Room, it is private and group rooms. I have used a private room, but I have never used a group room because there is no chance using them.

Animation and video corner, it can listen CDs and watch DVDs. When I was 1st year in university, I have used them some times. But this year, there is no time using them because I’m busy now. I have to do a lot of homework. When I take writing class, I sometimes have to write movie reviews. Then, I watch a movie. I want to listen CDs and watch DVDs someday. Books, there are dictionaries and newspaper in this floor. When I do a reading homework, I have to read English newspaper. So, I use this floor, and I do a reading homework. Dictionaries, when I was 1st year in university, I use them to do homework. Other, I sleep there when I’m tired. I can sleep deeply there.

3rd floor, there are studying desks, books, and room. Although there are also many things, I hardly go there. I want to use 2nd floor, but before exam, there are many students in library, so I cannot sometimes use 2nd floor. Then, I use 3rd floor. It is not different from 2nd floor, but I usually use 2nd floor. So, I don’t get used to using 3rd floor.

I like quiet places the best, it is my house, park, and library. I’m weak of lively places. In KGU, I’m weak of a student dining hall, and I like library the best.

Essay 2-01b: Learning Languages in KGU

In university, I’m studying Japanese, English, and French. I have studied English since I was junior high school. But, I’m studying English separated reading, listening, writing, grammar, and speaking in university. So, I could know what I’m good at being skill of English and what I’m weak being skill of English. In French, when I enter this university, I have to choose 2^nd language. If I went abroad, I want to go to France. So, I chose French for being able to speak, read, listen, and write French if I go to France. I’m learning Japanese now, too. I take 2 classes about Japanese. I’m very interested in languages.

In this university, English was separated reading, listening, writing, grammar, and speaking. Speaking ⅠandⅡ were classes speaking English to classmates. The contents were favorite music, food and drink, my family, pets, other classes. Some days, I made a speech. Sometimes, this speaking class was not only speaking but also doing games using English. Speaking Ⅲ and Ⅳ are also speaking English to classmates. This class hardly changes Speaking ⅠandⅡ, but there is one thing different from Speaking ⅠandⅡ. It is English Central. It uses on Internet, and I have to get many points to get these credits. This term, I have to get more points than last term.

Writing Ⅰand Ⅱ were to read English long sentences and answer about it. It was easy. I wanted writingⅢandⅣto be such a writingⅠandⅡ. WritingⅢandⅣare writing English on my blog. I have to type many English. It is not difficult, but it is very tired.

Reading ⅠandⅡ were like writingⅠandⅡ. But, I had to do power words. It was tired to doing it. Reading contents were easy. ReadingⅢandⅣ are to read English newspapers.  I was interested in it. But, these classes have some test and some homework. And, I have to do power words, too. I will be busy in this term.

Listening ⅠandⅡ were to listen English news. Those contents were very interesting. But, I’m weak of listening English. I cannot understand listening English. So, I thought I cannot get these credits. But, I could get these credits one way or another. ListeningⅢ was watching a movie. The content was interesting, too. Although I’m weak of listening English, It was easier than listeningⅠandⅢ. ListeningⅣ changed teacher. So, this content changed, too. But the teacher is interesting.

Grammar ⅠandⅡ were English grammar, It has only 1^st year, It doesn’t have 2^nd year. I’m good at English grammar. Because my average score of grammar’s middle test and final test was high score. So, I wanted another grammar to hold  next year. Because I’m good at English grammar and these classes are 2 credits.

French is very interesting. This class is grammar and reading class. It is very different from English; it is grammar, vocabulary, and pronunciation. French 1A and 1B were French grammar. These had to submit a lot of homework. And, French 2A and 2B were reading French. These had to prepare lesson. I felt French grammar was more difficult than reading French. At first, I didn’t find French. I didn’t know either I can get this credit or not. After that, I studied hard French. Last autumn term, my French score was better than last spring term. So, I became French is interesting. I will take French next year.

I take 2 classes about Japanese. They are Japanese outline and languages out line. Both classes, I took them in autumn term; I didn’t take these classes in spring term. Japanese outline, I will learn Japanese meaning and grammar, and I have to submit a subject about today’s class before finishing this class. The subject is difficult for me. Languages out line, I learn not only Japanese but also other languages, and I have to submit a written homework every week. I’m busy every week because I have other homework.

I’m interested in languages, and I have many chances learning languages in KGU. Needless to say, if I graduated from this university, I want to have a job. Although I’m interested in languages, I will not have a job very using them. But, I hope the languages I learn are useful before long.

My favorite sport to watch

My favorite sport to watch is baseball. I'm fan of yomiuri Giants. Giants' players are almost good player, I think. But, it is difficult to win the central league because other central league's teams are strong, too. So, when Giants won the top of central league, I pleased. School trip in high school days, we went to Tokyo. Long days ago, my class decided the place where we want to go. Usually, I say "Anywhere.", but that day only, I said "I want to go to Tokyo Dome." Because I'm fan of Giants, but I have never been to Tokyo Dome. So, this memory is the best in high school days. The championship, I hope Giants win the games.
