Typing week1: My favorite restaurant

One of my favorite restaurant is Sushinami. This is Japanese food restaurant in downtown. In Halifax, there are lots of Japanese restaurant. However, Sushinami is near my residence and they have sushi, ramen, bento, and okonomiyaki. I don't miss Japanese food. The cooker are Chinese, but taste is similar to Japanese. I often go there with Chinese and Japanese friends. However I think it is a little bit expensive. In Halifax, there is cheaper Japanese restaurant, but it is so far from my residence. Last time, I went to there with mu ex roommates. It took us about 2 hours to go to the restaurant. So, the best restaurant is Sushinami. I usually eat sushi there, so I want to try other dishes next time.

The Final Presentation

Last semester, I have done presentation twice in the conversation class. Second presentation was final presentation. I could decide topic myself, but we have to select academic topic. We also could talk from 5 to 10 minutes. I talked about Japanese Women's Position.

 

I was very nervous, because I couldn't read anything. That's why, I practice many times, more than 10, and polished. The day of final presentation, Chinese students did that first. However, they spoke a long time. Sometimes our teacher asked questions and said her comments, so the longest student talked about 30 minutes! All Japanese students were surprised and we couldn't understand why Chinese students didn't care about time. That's why, Japanese students couldn't do presentation the day.

When I did my presentation, I was not nervous. I practiced every day, so I completely memorized my speech. I repeated in my mind that if I finish it, winter vacation will be coming. Finally, I finished it, and I was sure I succeed. My teacher said to me she hadn't know about it, and it was very interesting. Her word made me happy.

Typing5: Something special I did during this vacation (vacation 5)

In winter vacation, most Japanese students went back to Japan, so we and Arabic friend had been to the restaurant. The restaurant is Arabic. It was the first time that I ate Arabic food. We ate kebab. It was very delicious and hearty. I think Arabic food is more delicious than Chinese food. I really love it. However beef was a little bit tough, so I will order chicken kebab next time. I really miss my Japanese friends. Yesterday, we had closing ceremony. Two of Japanese friends gave me letters and we took photos. Every time, teachers selected outstanding student in end of semester. I was nominated, but other Japanese student won. After that, we watched a video. Each class made short movie about christmas and new year. It was fantastic!

Typing4: Good and bad points about summer

In my opinion, good poit of summer is there are a lot of festivals. Festival is very exciting and I can wear yukata. After I entered KGU, I usually go to the festival with my classmates. It was very fun and I was exhausted, but I could make a good memory, On the other hand, summer is too hot, especially Kumamoto. If it were not for air conditioner, we would die. I love summer, but the difference from temperatures of an air conditionated room and outside is unhealthy. If I stay an air conditionated room whole day, I will be cold, and sometime I will have a headache. However, if I stay outside whole day, I will get heatstroke.

I'm in Canada, and I will go to the TESL center in next term. Next term will be from January to February. I’m going to take IELTS class and listening class. However, I'm not sure whether I will able to take the class or not. We usually find our class before the class. But I applied the classes, so I hope I can take the classes. In morning, I'm going to the level4. I'm worry, because from level4 is very difficult, because content is more academic. We need to do lots of homework, ppt, and quiz. Absolutely I will be hardworking, because when my roommate was level4 student, she used to be hardworking. They said to me not to worry so much, but I really worry.
