The Movie what I Like

My favorite movie is "Pirates of The Caribbean". It is the story of Captain Jack Sparrow's adventure deep into the heart of the Caribbean. He is the captain of the Black Pearl. But this ship often left for him by robbed and pull down. He always wears his triangular hat, pistol, sword, coat, compass and many other things. These five items are his property. Especially, the compass is very special thing. It doesn't point to north, but it points at a thing which a owner wants. For example, a treasure, a valuable article and a person. So Jack Sparrow often put it to good use to look for treasure. His rival is Barbossa. He often fight Jack Sparrow and they sometimes join forces.

This movie series continue by four works and all of them are very interesting for me. Part 1 is struggling over curse of gold coin. Part 2 and 3 are fighting against Davy Jones. Part 4 is struggling for spring of life. Every characters are individuality and action scene is great for me. I look forward to watching new work of this movie series!

My Favorite Holiday of The New Year

My favorite Japanese holiday is New Years Day. In Japan, it is called "Oshogatu". On the day, we celebrate new year. Before the day, we decorate the gate with the New Year's pine branches and three bamboos, a round rice cake offered to the gods at New Year's and so on. When the day change The New Year, we can hear sounds of Joya's bell then. This sounds are interesting.

  In my new years day, first, I listen to sounds of Joya's bell. Next, I and my family visit shrine near my house and pray. Then, we draw omikuji which like fortune-telling by drawing lots. After that, we eat osechi and ozouni. Osechi is the special dishes served on the first three days of the New Year. For example, "kuromame", "kazunoko", "kamaboko", "kurikimtom", "kombu" and so on. Ozouni is a soup which is put mochi in. They are taste good. Next, we visit my ancestors' grave. It is very important thing for my family. Finally, we gather with my relatives and spend together. At that time, we have a meal and take a hot spring and so on. I can always relax on this day. So I like this time.

My College Life

My college Life is good. I usually get up at 7:45 AM and I usually go to bed at 1:00 AM. On Monday, I am taking English, Chinese and statistics class. On Tuesday, I am taking public administration, English, social research and sociology class. On Wednesday, I am taking English class. On Thursday, I am taking macroeconomics, Chinese and Freshman Field Seminar class. On Friday, I am taking business management argument and welfare society class. My university's class is ninety minutes. I want to learn especially about social economy. So I choose many classes in the social economy.

My club activity of kendo usually become active three times a week on Monday, Tuesday and Thursday. There are about 2 hours in kendo club.Then, I always practice kendo hard. Volunteer club sometimes become active. I do a part-time job four times a week on Wednesday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday. My part-time job is in department. I do it four hours and a half. I think this part-time job is tough because I have started doing it nowadays. However, I want to get used to do it. So I do it so hard. I sometimes think hard my college life, but I think good about my college life because I could have done those things which I want to do.

My Club is Kendo

My club of university is kendo. Kendo is part of budo. It is sometimes referred to as Japanese fencing in English, but it is different from fencing in that, for example, a bamboo sword (shinai) and special protective gear are used. A point is scored by hitting the opponent's head, trunk or forearms, or by thrusting at the throat. The winner is the first one to score two points, or the one with a one-point lead at the end of the allotted time.

My club activity usually becomes active three times a week on Monday, Tuesday and Thursday at night. We always have practiced kendo in Shimane university's the Japanese martial arts room. Kendo is very interesting for me. I can get a feeling of satisfaction by playing kendo. I had played kendo for three years before I join this club. Then, I got a first rank in kendo. However, I don't reach the university's level of kendo skill so I always practice hard for reaching this level. I want to enjoy playing kendo better through improving my kendo skill !

My Hometown is Saijo

My hometown is Saijo City. Saijo is in south of the Hiroshima. Saijo is very good place! Especially, Saijo is famous for sake. In Saijo, the production of sake is flourishing. So some sake cellars stand in a row at the center of Saijo. They are wonderful cellars.There is a lot of food which made from sake. For example, "Bisyonabe", "Sakemanju" and so on. They are very delicious foods! Every year in the autumn, Sake festival hold. In this festival, we can sample many sakes and buy goods about sake.
