about pictures

<About picture 1>

I think the picture was taken in Saudi Arabia. The two men hold the paper written “Face Book”. This picture shows us the effect of the Internet. We could make friends if they live in far country and get a lot of information about overseas. World is becoming smaller and smaller because of the Internet. I think the two men knew each other by Face Book and became friends.

<About picture 3>

The two women may be family, mother and daughter. The mother doesn’t recognize her

friends and even her family because of aging, so the daughter has to take care of the mother. It is hard for the daughter to help her mother, but thanks to it, the daughter appreciates how much the mother had to go through when the daughter was a child.

<About picture 4>

I think the picture 4 was taken in somewhere in the US. People in the picture found something thrilling, for example car accidents or fighting people. They would decide to drive safely or not to argue with someone.

something new

Hello everyone.  Today's topic is "something new".   Some of you have started something new since you enterd this university.  I think everytime when we begin to do something new, we need a lot of courage, and it is very hard to get used to the new thing.  About me, I started part-time job for the first time in my life after entering university, and of course it was too hard to get used to it.  I thought the job was boring at the beginning, but  now it is wothwhile to do.  I think it is imprtant when we start something new to endure.
We ought to believe we will be good at the new thing as the time goes by. 
Now, I want to start new instruments, for exmanple bass and drums.  I sometimes play the guitar, but thesedays I am fed up with it.   May be it takes long time to become familiar with it, but practice solve it.
Do you have any plan to begin something new?  If you have, please tell me about it.

Hello everybody. Do you like to travel? Have you ever been to any countries or places you were moved? Today, I will talk about traveling.

 I have been to some countries and I think those experiences gave me something very valuable. I think traveling have many advantages. For example, it makes us well informed. Touching the foreign cultures broaden our horizons.

 I think the more we know about foreign cultures, the more we know what Japan and Japanese culture is. We can see similarities and differences or good and bad points between Japan and foreign countries.

culture

Each countries have different cultures, which make the countries characteristic.
The most strange(?) culture, I think, is taking off the shoes before entering the house in Japan.
I always take off my shoes when I enater my house of course, but I feel it is a litttle troublesome.
I want to live in the house which I do not need to take off my shoes in the future.
Next is the strange culture in foreign countries.
It is sometimes usual to hug someone when they meet or leave.
When I stayed a farm in Australia, the host mother hug me when I leave the farm.
Of course I know foreign countries have culture like that but  it made me very surprise.
Did you experience some surprizing strange culture in some foreign countries?
Please tell me about them!

Autumn

 Hello everyone.
Today, I will explain my autumn plan.
I will make enough money to travel  in  my spring vacation by doing part-time job because  I decided to visit many countries in each vacation.
I want to go to India or some other places in Asia in my spring vacation and it costs me a lot of money.
So I have to work hard!
After all, my autumn plan is to do part-time job.

Keeping in Touch

Hello everybody.
All of you have many friends, and some of your friends are very good enough to call best friens.
There are some junior high school  or high school period's friends and you don't keep in touch with  some of them.
I have friends like that too.
I can remember thier face and name but don't keep in touch with them.
They and I are still friends I think, but it feels a little sad.
When I meet friends like that, it is very fun to conversation.
I feel it is very imprtant to keep in touch .
Why don't you contact your old friends?
