First, let me introduce about studying English. I like English but I'm not good at English especially speaking and listening. However I'm going to study abroad in Canada until August to April, 2015. I felt pressed because my TOEFL score was very low. Other exchange student's score was so high. That's way I study listening hard in my class. I can listen to English little because I think my IELTS's score was not too bad. When I decided my studying abroad, my teacher introduced Canadian exchange students. It was the first time that I made foreign friends. I seldom meet them but I sometimes chat by g-mail or LINE. I can learn writing. Moreover I accepted SMU's letter and email. I must read a lot. For the first time, I cannot read them without dictionary and I read slowly. However when I read English, Using dictionary has been decreasing. Next month, I will take TOEFL, I hope my score will be high.

Other classes are hard for me because homework and reports are a lot. Last year I wrote only 3 or 4 reports and I could finish homework 1 or 2 day. However this year's teachers give us a lot of assignments. This year's classes are different from last year's classes especially I must read books. Besides I read literatures. I have never tried it read it. However I watched Othello. This contain is difficult but interesting. That's way I read books which are written by Shakespeare. Those works was wonderful, contrary to my expectations. In Japanese literature class, I watched video about Kiyomori Taira. This video was so boring but Heike Monogatari is interesting. I had to read it. It was very long story. However I enjoyed reading it because I learned many things and I became to be interested in historical story.

King Lear


I read King Lear today. This book was written by Shakespeare William. The reason why I read this book is I take English literature class every Wednesday. In this class, I watched Othello. Othello was written by him too. King Lear and Othello are famous tragedy. In fact, I don't like read literature. It was until I knew Othello that I didn't realize literature is so interesting.

King Lear's story is wonderful. He is tyrant and he tried to give his daughters his territories. However his three daughters said about love for King Lear. 2 sisters said good comment for their father but youngest sister don't say because she hated to say lies. Of course 2 older sister said lies. But King Lear didn't realize 2 oldest daughter's lie. Moreover youngest daughter disown by her father.

King Lear was bad person so his oldest daughters didn't handle their father. At least, Lear was became wanderer and crazy. The picture was so miserable. He requested helps for his youngest daughter. Of course she tried to help but she lose the war. Finally, youngest sister died and her father so sad.

I though the family's love is so fragile while there is love without saying. I became to like his books and I want read other his books.
