This blog is the work of the Freshman English Communication class at the University of Shimane. This is a learning blog, so there are bound to be errors, confusion, and occasional misunderstandings. This is all part of the process... This is the first time for many of these students to write in English for anyone other than their teachers, so please be kind. ;^)

Hello!
In
this post, I would like to tell you about me. My name is Midori Okumoto. I’m a
student of University of Shimane. I’m from Oki Island in Shimane. Oki Island is
beautiful and island. There is a lot of nature. Especially, the sea in Oki is
very beautiful! I really want you to come to Oki Island. You will be enjoy Oki!
My family is five people and two dogs. My two dogs are very cute! I look like my mother. My hobby is listening
to music, cooking and exercising. I often listen to music of Nishino Kana. I love
Nishino Kana. Also, I often listen to music of P!NK in western music. Listening
to music, I have peace in my mind. I like to cook. Especially, I like to cook
sweets. I cooked sweet potato cake recently. It was delicious. I like to
exercise. I don’t join exercise club. So, I always walk around the school. My
favorite foods are a chocolate and a sweet potato. A chocolate is sweet and
delicious. I like a chocolate as I would like to eat every day. In this
morning, I ate a chocolate. I also like a sweet potato. Since the sweet potato
became a delicious season, I often eat these days. What foods do you like? I
want you to tell about you.

Hi Midori!
ReplyDeleteYour dog is very cute! (I wish I could see your other dog, too..)
I have never been to Oki Island, but I love nature, so you should take me around the island someday!! I have been to Yakushima and I would love to see more Japanese islands, because they are so beautiful!
I love sweets, too, especially dark chocolate, mattcha chocolate and mattcha ice cream! *Q* Your sweet potato cake sounds really good...maybe someday you can make one for me, hehehehe. C:
I also love Japanese food, such as Okonomiyaki, Yakisoba, Sukiyaki, and Curry. I love all kinds of curry, especially Thai curry. I wish I could cook, so that I could make and eat these foods all the time, but I am a terrible cook....
Anyway, it is very nice to meet you, and I hope we can be friends! I would love to visit Oki one day >3<!!

When you will visit Oki, I will introduce Oki Island.
I am glad that you commented me.
I would like to make frineds with you very much!
You're very welcome!
DeleteI will look forward to visiting Oki! You should visit Seattle someday, too!
Yes! I would love to talk to you more and get to know you better!! _(´µ`_)
Hi Midori!
ReplyDeleteEven though I don't currently have one, I love dogs too and your dog is really cute!! Do you have a favorite breed? Personally, I really like golden retrievers. The puppies are soo cute lol.
I also have never been to Oki Island, but it sounds really beautiful. I love nature a lot and I'll definitely visit Oki Island someday - and you can take me around too! Is Oki Island a big island? I've never been to one of Japan's islands before (I'm excluding Shikoku and Hokkaido because I don't think that really counts...) and I would love to go and visit one.
I like Nishino Kana as well although I only have one song from her. I think it's "Best Friend". Do you have any other suggestions? I love Japanese sweets! I think Japanese cakes, and chocolates and other types of sweets are really good. Sweet potato cake sounds deliciousssss... I've seen a KitKat Sweet potato flavor before, but I've never tried it.. Did you ever try it? It sounds good.
Japanese food is my favorite ethnic food, but I also love Italian food. I love sushi, (Japan's sushi is soo good), Japanese ramen, zaru udon, curry, and many other kinds! I plan on being able to cook one day lol. Anywho, it is really nice to meet you and I hope we can be friends!

P.S This link is by a Chef who does 5 minute cooking shows on different kinds of food that I thought you might find interesting. The food he cooks looks really delicious and he's also very funny. He is Italian though and has an Italian accent, so it may be a little difficult to understand... but if you can get through that, I think he's entertaining to watch! ^^

DeleteThank you for getting interested in OKi Island.
OKi is small island.
You like Jaoanese foods very much.
I also like ramen.
Especcially, I like miso flavor.
I hope we can be friends.
Hi Midori ^_^
ReplyDeleteI haven't been to Oki Island before, but from what you described, I think I would like to visit the island in one of my future trips to Japan. I'm always watching Soko ga Shiritai and they often go to various places with alot of nature and it looks really beautiful so I think I will very much like seeing what Oki Island looks like.
I have two dogs too ^_^ What type of dogs do you have? I've always wanted a Shiba Inu. I think your dog is totally cute!!!! Do you like any other animals?
Haha ^_^ I share the same hobbies as you (cooking, exercising, and listening to music). Most of the music on my ipod is now Japanese and Korean songs and I like Nishino Kana too. My favorite song from Nishino Kana is "Alright". I tried learning how to cook during the summer but since I slow my mom down in cooking she kicks me out of the kitchen. My most favorite foods from Japan are takoyaki and okonomiyaki. I think the best takoyaki i've ever eaten was at Tokyo Dome. I try to exercise as much as I can but because of school, I don't really have time to work out as much. Basically the only time when I do "work out" is when I have to walk to my classes. lol.
It's nice to meet you Midori ^_^

I hope we can be friends.
Hello Midori!
ReplyDeleteI have 2 dogs in my family too...? A french bulldog name Tyson and a pug named Mylo. Tyson is a big boy, weighing almost 40 pounds, while Mylo is less then half his size at only 16 pounds. Despite her much smaller stature, she likes to act like the boss. I think she has a Napoleon complex! What breed are your dogs?
Oki Island sounds like a beautiful place. One of my favorite and most relaxing things is to be in nature.
Hawaii can get very hot. Because of this, I have been enjoying cold noodles such as somen and zaru soba lately. I also really enjoy Chinese food- especially dim sum. It is fun to choose fresh hot plates and try a variety of dumplings. As for desserts and chocolate, I am not much for sweets but sweet potato cake sounds tempting. Talk to you soon!
Aloha Mike
