My Hometown

I’m going to tell you about my home town, Mifune. Mifune is the in countryside, so there is a lot of green. Maybe you don’t know that they had excavated a fossil of a dinosaur there. That means a dinosaur lived in Mifune. The dinosaur is called Mifune Ryu, and Mifune is called the town of the dinosaur. People who live in Mifune have an opportunity to learn about Mifune Ryu. I learned about it when I was an elementary school student to when I was a junior high school student, and I made a replica of the fossil in class.


 Mifune has a summer festival in the end of summer vacation. There are always a lot of street stalls, and people who wear a happi coat dance the Bon festival dance and there is a fireworks display in the night. The Bon festival dance is the original Bon dance of Mifune, and called Mifune Ondo. I have joined the Bon festival dance with my classmates when I was elementary school student, and I can dance it still now.


All of the schools in Mifune teach how to dance Mifune Ondo, so I had to dance it at my school’s sports festival. There is a popular tradition in Mifune about a kappa. Do you know what a kappa is? It is a water imp. There is a tradition that there is a kappa in Mifune’s river, but I never seen a kappa still now.


I graduated from Mifune high school in my home town. I will introduce my alma mater. There is a course to study election machines, and students of this course learn all about machines. Some students are members of a robot control club, and this club has great technical skill to control robots, and is the top in Japan. They have become the champion any number of times. A principal of my school had often said that if any powerful school from anywhere in the country challenges our school, we don’t need to hurry. We can win and we can be stronger. It is too much to say that, but they are really great.


 My home town is important for me, and I want to know a lot of people. Why don’t you come to my home town?

New Combination

Hello, everyone. I’m going to tell you about my new combination. I will make new combination of animals this time. My new combination is a horse across a dog, and I named this “ Magu”. A horse is “uma” in Japanese, and “uma” is read “ma” in kanji. A dog is “inu” in Japanese, and “inu” is read “gu” in kanji like a tengu. This is why I decided to an animal’s name. This animal is very big like a horse, and their sensitive are sharp like a dog. We can ride this animal, because it is very friendly to us. It will be able to do that doing dogs now. Of course, they are not dangerous, because they love eating vegetables like a horse. Children can feed them to carrots and more. I recommend you to have them from elementary school students. They are very kind, so children can take care of them easily, we can teach to students that how precious a life. If they live in real world, I want to see them. Have you already made your new combination? I want to know what you across, and the name.
That’s all. Thank you for reading : )

Hi : )

Hello, there. I want to listen to my story of today. I did English Central at the first time today. I couldn't do it at my home, because my computer couldn't become aware of my voice. I did it in a self-study room, but there were other people, so I thought that my voice was noisy and gave they trouble. I'm sorry. I thought that it is difficult for me to practice English preparation in public. Have you already done the English Central? There are a lot of interesting movies, so I like to watch the movies. I like interesting CMs. How about you?

Hello, everyone. I am going to write that a fictitious character as a foreigner. It is an assignment of writing class.

My name is Sophia, and I'm from Canada. People who live in Canada speak in English and French mainly. My home town is Ottawa, which is the capital of Canada, and the second largest city in the world. Have you heard the city's name? My birthday is July 1st, and the day is the commemoration of the Founding of the Nation in Canada. We called that "Canada Day". I'm a journalist, because I am interested in the international situation. I want to know about Syria now. Syria is breaking out a civil war now; the government is fighting against the anti-government. I don't know that which is bad? Which is wrong? I want to know that why people are fighting. My hobby is coin collecting, but I have just started it. What the most interesting as for my hobby is there are many kind of coin in the world. If I learned about a coin, I can know about a country's history of the coin. My dislike thing is insects, because I can't know what they do next. It is too scary for me. If there were not insects in the world, I was glad so much. Next, I will tell you about my family. I have two brothers and a sister, they are very kind. I am married, but he is so busy and leaving for his new post without us since three years ago. However, he comes back holiday.We have two children which are a girl and a boy, and we live in my parents’ house. My parents are fine, and they love their grandchild. I am not good at cooking, so I want to make our meals better. My children like Poutine, so I can make this. My mother will teach me that how to cook our home's taste in the future. Maybe, I am keeping be a journalist, but my family is the most precious thing until now and from now on, too.
