Essays 2-01a: Favorite Place

I'd like to introduce my favorite place in Kumamoto. It is Jieitai Avenue. Do you know that where? This avenue locates in Kengun, near Daini high school. Then every I through here, I can remember high school hood. When I was a high school student, This Avenue was my route to and from school. In spring, I and my friends enjoyed to watch cherry blossom every day.

Of course it has Japan Self-Defense Forces garrison. Self-Defence Forces bugles in given period of time, twice a day, actually morning and evening. Sometime you may see SDF personnel or their big khaki-colored vehicles.

The row of cherry trees where is in Kengun Avenue are very famous in Kumamoto. May be row of cherry blossom continues over 500 meters. Here is so wonderful in spring! I like cherry blossom, because it is little and cute. So here is the best for me. I especially like dulling timing of the bloom and time to start flower dust. I think these time are the best timing.  The view that flower's petal flutter is so romantic. If you want to go there, I advise you to check the flowering information. Don't forget!

I know other famous spot of cherry blossom in Kumamoto City, for example around Kumamoto Castle, where has a lot of cherry blossom trees too, but Jieitai Avenue is longer than around Kumamoto Castle’s row of cherry trees.

Not only noon, but also night, cherry blossom is so nice, because lights light white flowers. When I see it at night, it touch me, and I'm proud of Japanese tradition such as loving watch cherry blossom.

Every year the cherry blossom festival is held in here. Jieitai Avenue has Taiyaki shop and some shops. Jieitai Avenue is very good location, because here is so near station of train. Many bus also run here so very convenient. Sidewalk is so maintained, and placed point system bock and sound signals for blinds. This is very good.

Then I have one more reason. Here is also I and my boyfriend's memorial place. First we visit here last year, but we separated and after we together again, we visited there in spring this year. We only walked the avenue however I satisfied very much. I want to go there every spring with my boyfriend.

Essay 1-3b: Father's big Love

I watched movie: Mrs. Doubtfire. I rented it from TSUTAYA. I tell you this story. My interest in this movie is about “father love children” and “the way of protect children”.

Daniel is this story’s main character. He is very funny and cheerful man. He has a family, his wife, two girl and one boy. He loves his children very much. He worked as voice actor, but he quit because he and director’s idea was not much. He had repeated like this, so he doesn't have job anytime and he played with his children. His wife’s Miranda is not like this husband, so she is always irritated.

On his son’s 14th birthday, while wife is in company, he invited many children, brought petting zoo and made big sounds. Miranda received call about the ado and she was very angry. She went back home quickly, stop the party and she told Daniel that she want to divorce. The Courts doesn't allow Daniel parent’s right because he doesn’t have job and house for children live. He only allowed meeting his children every Saturday. He couldn't get it, because his children are his all. He loves them and children love him too.

He thought that how to meet his children. One Saturday, when he had dinner with children, Miranda came for them, she show Daniel an advertisement for home helper. He inspired the plan, so that plan is what he will be a home helper, and HER name is ‘Mrs. Doubtfire’. He good at voices, he can spoof woman. He asked Flank special makeup to be women. It succeeded brilliantly, and SHE was greeted by Miranda.

Mrs. Doubtfire did every home thing, serving dinner, bed making, reading books for child and cleaning house. She is very good home helper. One day, a man visits Miranda’s company as a client. He is Stewart, and he is her past boyfriend. Mrs. Doubtfire tried interfered Stewart and Miranda’s relation. And Daniel got new job in television station, as deliver man. His life was smoothly.

Though one day, Mrs. Doubtfire had to go restaurant with the family and Stewart for Miranda’s birthday dinner. The restaurant is Bridge. And Daniel had to dinner his television station’s president, this is one time chance for his success. The restaurant is Bridge too!! That is Friday 7 o’clock too, but he did it. Can you believe it? First he played HER in the family and next he change his clothes and face, he met his president. He alternated the changing. Unfortunately SHE came out HER identity.

He explained his feeling about love for his children in court. He did crazy action which he became Mrs. Doubtfire to meet children every day, but he has been crazy since when children born. So this action is not special. I think he lover children than Miranda; after all, he didn't any housekeeping, but after he became Mrs. Doubtfire he study hard cooking, sewing and so on. These are all for he keeps an eye on his children. His love is big, I feel.

While I watch this movie, I laughed many time. This is very fun, I felt Daniel’s love as father and I touched. Then I think his way of protect his children connect his love. So he did it. If you haven’t watched this even, I want you to watch it too!

Letter to My Homestay Family

Hello, I’m Eimi. Glad to know you. I’m a Japanese girl, and nineteen years old. I’m a student of KGU. My major is English and foreign studies. I like English. I also study Spanish as a second foreign language. I feel it’s very interesting too! I have black hair, brown eyes, a small nose, and am tall for a Japanese woman.

My Japanese family is my father, mother, younger brother, cute dog, and me. Do you have dogs or any pets? My house is in the countryside, so I go to university by motor bicycle. Everybody says that I don’t look a rider, but I like driving.

I have lived in Singapore for four years, but when I was very young (1 to 4 years old) then. So my English by no means good. But I think as a result I interested in foreign culture by this experience. I’m especially interested in foreign culture, for example food, markets, music, fashion and other things.

My hobby is using Social Network Service like facebook. If you have a facebook account, please tell me. Can I use the Internet at your house? My favorite music is Rock. It’s powerful and very cool. Do you like it?

Well..I like celebrating everybody’s birthday! I think the birthday is the happiest day, and I’m going to spend my birthday in Australia, in August. I look forward to my birthday.

I’ve visited Cairns Australia once with my family 6 years ago. Then we enjoyed sea fun, riding horses, looking at many animals and a balloon ride. I like Australia because everything is bigger and more carefree than Japan. Also the people are very cheerful. I’ve not ever been to Melbourne, so I want to enjoy shopping in downtown. Please take me good shops, and I hope to join some parties because I want to communicate with many native people. As I think of living in Australia, it excites me but I am worrying only one thing on this staying. It is about the meal quantity. On my last visit, the Australian meal was huge for me. So perhaps I won’t be able to eat it all. I want you know it before hand. In this stay, I hope to grow and spend happy time with you. Thank you.
