About me!
My name is Haruna K. Nice to meet you. I’m 21 years old now. My birthday is May 10 and I will become 22 years old on next birthday. My character is going own my way and very active. My friends sometimes said me ‘you should not speak’ because I am always speaking with someone. I like to laugh! And I like to say about something funny. When I said about it and someone laugh, I feel so happy. But sometimes someone said me ‘crazy’. But I think that it is incorrect. Correct is humor! I want to believe.
I like sports very much, for example, playing volleyball, basket ball and running. Running is short is best! I can’t run long far and I don’t like it. I had been played Physic gymnastic with my sisters. So now also my body is very soft better than normal parson? Also I like watching volleyball. I like cheer it front of TV in my home. My hobby is listening to music, dancing, and playing the piano. I listen to music every day. When I go to University and back to home or go to part-time jobs. I listen to all genre music. For example, R&B, K-pop, J-pop. Recently my favorite is K-pop. It is very hot in mime! Especially I like Kara and Girls age? They are so beautiful girls who have long foot and they are very beautiful and cute. Also their dance is very sexy and nice! When I listen to their music and to watch dance, I can get power. I think that no music is no life for me and it is as important as foods for me. Also I can dance jazz and hip-hop and I play classical at the piano. I like various genres of music. How about you? What’s your family’s hobby?
Now I am student in KGU. My major subject is English. I like English very much before when I start to study English, I don’t like English because I couldn’t remember words and I didn’t like Class of my English teacher’s class then. My English teacher was severe and very noisy. Sometimes angry with us. But now I like English very much. When I was high school student. I met very good teacher. She also severs but she praises me when I was able to do some things. So I chose the way to study English in University. But I cannot speak English very well yet. I’m sorry. But I can speak everyday conversation. I know that I must study hard every day. I should study many ways to study. Also I have many things to do study English. Now I am doing to listen to R &B music every day to forge power of listening. I do something I can do! For my English skill up!
This summer I went to Minnesota in America of my school’s program. My host family was very very nice! I think that my host family is the best! I stayed there for a month. When first, I felt I felt long time to spend the time but gradually I felt it very short. I enjoyed the summer very much. I will talk about episode. In Minnesota, My host mother gave me CD of R&B as a present. Now I am listening to it every day. And I have favorite music during the CD. So, if I listen to it, I remember Minnesota memory and I become that I want to meet my host family again. Sometimes I was tears. I think that I will not able to forget this experience of for a month in Minnesota and the time to spend with my host family. I hope that I have chance, I want to go Minnesota and meet my host family again! I want to come true this dream!
Lastly, I will talk about my family. I have five family people and two dogs in my family. My father is 54 years old and he is a banker. He serves Higo bank. My mother is the same age and she is care worker. My young people are another university y student. She is a famous player of Rhythmic gymnastics. She is champion during University player in Kyusyu. Usually we don’t talk each other but I cheer her very much. We often are fighting, but I really proud of my younger sister very much. My older sister is also a student at the University. Because we are twins. She studies about nursing. We study different subject each other. I think that we are not similar. Sometimes who said me similar, but I don’t think so. I don’t talk together every day. But we help and save each other if we get. Also we change wear often so, this is very convenient. How many people with your family and do you have a pet? Do you have a cat? I am allergic to cats. But I like animal’s very much. If dog and cat, which is like? I like dog he best! Now, I have two dogs. Their name is Lucky and Kenta. Lucy’s name we decided to do lot. But in fact, he was born 7, July. So the day is very lucky number day. I think that his name is very nice for him. Kenta's name was made by me.

Second, I write about Nani. She is old sister of Lilo. She is very steadily. She works very hard to act as Lolo’s parent because they have no parents. She cares for Lilo very much but they are fighting almost every day. She hits Lilo and she flees from place to place. But, she love her young sister in fact.
Stitch is an alien which was made by an alien scientist. At first, Stitch was a very violent alien. He is also struggling and destroyed many things. When he came to earth was continued to be like that. And stitch didn’t know anything about love.because he did not have friends and family. He was always alone and lonely. When Stitch came to earth, Lilo also didn’t any friends. So, Nani gave Stitch to Lilo as a pet dog. The first, they did not succeed in living together.

I have hot family and they are always living together and they support me no matter what will happens. And I have many good friends. They are always kind to me. I must thank for my family and my friends.

And l thinks that I have to love my young sister more like Nani loves Lilo, I must because she is a really important people of in my family.

Minnesota's life style report
I chose these them by this report because I was interested about overseas life since before. And this summer vacation I went to Minnesota of America and then I could experience about American culture, American life style and so on. I could study during home stay program of overseas induction a month. Before I go to Minnesota, Especially I interested in about American food and about bath. Because I thought that American people eat meat foods everyday and in bath time, usually people use shower. And before I go to Minnesota, I heard that American people not use laundry everyday. So, I intended to conduct an investigation into it.
And I am based on such a thing and I intend to introduce it.
● About breakfast
In America almost people’s houses eat cereal (cornflakes) on Monday to Friday at the morning as a breakfast. My home which my home stay family also has many kinds of Cereals, Oatmeal and Granola on the cabinet. This is American style.
Cereal only as for taking it with milk is very popular during any people regardless of age or sex is popular food in U.S.A. without asking it as a meal to be able to simplify. Also many cereals are exhibited to around 50 meters in super. The kind is such abundant, too. Also if busy time, if I wear milk to a cereal we can eat very easy and we get the nourishment well, too.
Because I was weak in milk, I seldom ate the cereal, but I liked Granola mixed dried fruit and seed of sunflower. Its taste was so good. Especially My host mother have a baby so, she can’t have long time to eat breakfast enough. That is why cereal is very good breakfast which has many energy and simple.
For a health-oriented adult, ‘Granola’ seems to be popular, but for children the cereal of the colorful color that a lot of pigments seem to included. Also bread has many kind and in my host family, we often eat bagel.
● About bath
In America there is not costume to take a bath. I know it before go to America. In fact my host family, I had been used take a shower and not take a bath for a month.
My mother said me if you want to take a bat, please use. But it was said that I saved hot water and might enter, but there was not the place that of course washed a body and used a shower because I was in same a washroom as a restroom because it was troublesome. How to take a shower everyday,
Hit the pocket which caught hair such as the small colander in the place of the drainage, and the use back took the garbage with a shower oneself.
And after I take a shower, I cleaned the drop of water which stuck to the wall with a thing such as a windshield wiper built over the wall by drainage
When I use bath room the steam opens all over the bathroom even if I attach a ventilation fan although there is a shower curtain. And there does not come to have same the minimum facilities of the bath as a restroom like a Japanese hotel.
Because various things such as laundry or a washing face tool are put together, so I thought that I became serious if I forgot a ventilation fan.
●About laundry
I have heard about American laundry style that they do not dry laundries outside. In fact, my host family did not often do laundry like Japanese family. They keep their laundries at the bath room during several days or a week, and then do laundry once a week. There are a big laundry machine and dry machine in the basement room. If they do laundry, they never dry outside like in Japan. In the first week, I did not wonder about it; however, one day I was wondering why they do not dry outside, so I asked my host mother about it. According to her, American rarely dry laundries outside because they think the view is the more important. If they dry outside, it would absolutely be interruption. Some people may think it’s annoying. In Japan, it is a part of the culture to dry outside, but in America, it is not. Some area has a legal which not allow doing it. At the apartment, sometimes people dry outside, but they rarely do that. I had been in Minnesota for a month, but I never saw laundries outside like I saw in Japan.
● conclusion
From prior thought and investigation, I knew that there is a difference of various cultures and when I compare it with U.S.A. and Japan, and there is difference in life style from there. However, what I really went to U.S.A., and I experienced was if there was the so thing, there was the knowledge different in that I took without permission. And in this Minnesota life taught me many things. I could experience big surprise and I could get many chances.

Because the time is not so many people and sometimes I can spend in study room only me. It’s a very vip time.
Next my favorite place is my room. There are not so large. But I think that the room is fit for me and my room is surrounding with my favorite color. The color on the whole is
Pink. So, the room makes me always happy and relaxes. But now my room is very duty and I must clean there quickly. Of course my house is also my favorite places. There are my good family and cute dogs. When I spend with them in the house, I can relax very much.
Also, I like yuria’s car. Because her car is small and have a cute color and seats. I think that not so large space makes me calm. Her car’s kind of is Lappin and the color is purple. I often rode on her car to go to University or go to somewhere. When I rode on her car, I can listen to music of my favorite. Because our favorite artist is same kinds.

MR-4 Rome and Juliet
At first I didn’t believe this movie is Romeo and Juliet because it is a very modern version. The main characters wear Hawaiian shirts and everyone use the guns not a swords. Also there are many bill scenes with not castle. So very easy to watch and understand the story. Sometimes we can laugh and also sometimes cry. This story’s middle stage is a happy story. They love each other and they are grown up. Then I felt happy and I thought that I want to love someone like they love each other. I want to meet a man like Romeo someday. The saddest scene is the last scene and I was sad and very annoyed. They were very good persons but God gave them a sad fate at the end. It is so deeply sad feat. Their life is so sad. After I watched this movie I wandered why God gave them so much sadness. But I didn’t understand and maybe few days I will sometimes remember about this tragedy.

my favorite things
Today I will talk about face book. I have face book since 2 years ago. Then I didn’t use it. My friend Tomo, he had face book. Because he had many overseas friends. And he contacted to use face book. He told me about face book and his overseas friends. Then I had mixi but not had face book so I interested about face book. I think that Face book is world version of mixi. We can use any time if I wanted to use. For example when I want to chat my friends who living in other country, when I want to say something for many friends as a Twitter and when I want to know around my friends. It is so convenient. Now maybe I have 200 friends in face book. For example my university friends, overseas friends, my host family who live in Minnesota, when I want to talk about in PC, I can it anyway! Recently I use face book almost every day. Because I changed my cell phone normal to i phone. I became easy to use face book. Sometimes I got massage about picture. Many friends put on picture on face book and I like to see them. I feel happy and I can get power so I think that I must study English hard more! I want to talk with them more free! Also face book teach me many things. For example someone’s birthday, something event. The information is so nice. I will use this face book long time and I will make more many friends of all over the worlds.

Minnesota !
3 weeks ago I came to Minnesota. This was my first time to stay in America. Before coming here, I was very nervous. Because my English is very poor .But I was very looking forward to meet my host family Derek, Alain Eli and Emily…
I will not forget about when I met my host mother Alaina in the airport, she welcomed me with her big smile. It made me very happy and reassured me.
My Minnesota life is wonderful. I had a lot of experiences of various things. For example studying about education, ESL in the Bethel University everyday, and sometimes going to outside, going shopping with my host family, going to Minneapolis to dancing with Emily at midnight, swimming in the Mississippi river, going to lake and jet skiing for the first time etc…However staying in America with not so easy for me. Everyday I thought “I want to master English! I want to talk with my host family more! I want to understand what teacher is saying more!!” I wish I had studied English more…before coming here
The first night I came here, I was crying about my poor English. And then I decided that I will study hard and try to communicate this one month. From then on if I had time, I trying to study English and think “Today what should I talk to my host family…” And second night I was crying again. But it was a cry for joy.
My hast mother Alaina and father Derek they are really kind to me. Every night helping me with my home work, teaching me about America, watching movie together after baby went to sleep. I liked spending this time with host parents every night the best! Also I had very fan time with my nine month old host brother Eli.

MR3-1 Brass off
This movie’s Brass is very wonderful! This is the first time to think that Brass music is wonderful. I was really moved with mix of music and story. My most favorite scene is when the brass band played in the courtyard of Danny’s hospital. Then Danny’s son Phil was crying while he was playing performance for band. Before many people give up to get their job again and to play in the band with everyone. Danny’s accident is very bad thing but I think that for the brass band, it is a good thing because the accident showed deep ties and people became reconciled.
This story also has a love story. I think love is not easy. I studied that to believe in love is difficult but a very important thing.
Also I studied that when similitude bad things happen, to live and love is important.
I think that this movie has many loves. Love of to playing band music. Love of friend. Love of girlfriend, love of family and so on. This movie is definitely funny movie. But we can study something and can respect.

BR SCARY MOVIE

Chapter1: Gary
Chaoter2: Do Something
Chapter3: Sitting Still
Chapter4: Friendly Gary
I read a book which name is “ SCARY MOVIE”. Why I chose this book? Because this book’s title is very interesting and I like this book’s illustration. This book has very nice character. Rebecca and Simone. This book’s character has two girls. And this book’s key words is Gray. At first when I started to read, I didn’t understand but end, I couldn’t understand what is Gray. It’s a spider. Beside it’s a very big spider. I don’t like this creature for me. Maybe I will not read this book again.

MR2-2 Ratatouille!!

Just I will write about the story of this movie Ratatouille. But before I do that, I will explain why the title is different in the Japanese version and in the English version. The Japanese title is ‘Remy no oishii restaurant’. If translate that from in Japanese to in English this title, I think it would be “Remy’s delicious restaurant”. But in fact the in English title is “Ratatouille”. When I knew this title I was surprised and I had a question. Why the different title? But I could understand after I finished watching this movie.
This movie’s characters are very funny. The main character is Remy. He is a cute rat. But not a normal rat. He has an outstanding sense of smell and wonderful sense of taste. When he eats some food, he feels the rhythm and color of the food. It’s a very great ability. Also he is a very kind to his family, friends, and Linguini.
Linguini who is a young man and who is at first hired as a kitchen cleaner, soon becomes a nice chef. Remy and Linguini, their tie is very strong and deep. They work hand in hand with. It was great. Also in this movie appears a spiteful parson. But their never lost hope.
This movie taught us many things. Of course this is a very funny movie. For example I knew about the friendship of Remy and Linguini, about people and the wonderful city of Paris. It was so beautiful. I want to go there. I had again. And I want to eat French food. Many foods of this movie are very real. For example cheese, soup, bread, ratatouille and so on. Many foods made me hungry.
Especially Ratatouille is my favorite. It is such beautiful dish.
This movie’s has a happy and ending. This is the most favorite finish. Now I think that I want to watch this movie’s 2!!

Book review2 "DAD'S TRICK"

Chapter2 Price Check
Chapter3 My Worst enemy
Chapter4 Scarred
I read a book which name is DAD’S TRIK. I read this book a week ago/ It was beena long time. This story was written by Pimple. I thought what’s a funny theme. But it was very nice story. This story start by pimple of girl. One day a girl got her first pimple on her face. It made her very worry. Her little brother said her to go supermarket to get pimple cream. So she went to there with her father. Supermarket, there wear many king pimple cream and she chose one. And after bad things happened for her. When price check, there were lots of kids in the line behind them. And the shop assistant picked up her pimple cream, problem was happened. Because her pimple cream wouldn’t scan. So the assistant used phone with her really loud voice. She felt very hot. Then her father trick had worked. He was protective toward her. And she looked around once more, she met her friend. She felt hot again. She thought that maybe my friend would tell everyone about this things tomorrow at school. Bet then, her father trick had worked again. So her father is very kind.
When I was junior school student and high school student, I was very worry about my pimple. Especially is in summer. I had been worried about it. But I didn’t use as a pimple cream. I take care of cleansing cream everyday and to keep cleanliness. I think that these things are very important to cure pimple and keep clean skin. When I read this book I remember my teenage. Many same age people worry about pimple. Now I have no pimple on my face. I thinks to my measure and my mother told me about this.

Essay 1-b High school musical

Last Wednesday, I watched a movie named ‘ High school musical’. This is the first movie to watch for our writing class. I watched it with my classmate Chihiro, Kana, Hiroaki and Kouhei. This is third time for me to watch this. This movie is a Disney musical movie and it is loved by around the world. Also High School Musical was Disney Channel's most watched film that year with 7. million viewers in its premiere broadcast in the US. This is the most and this is my Favorite movie of Disney movies for me.
Now I will tell you about this movie’s characters. Main character is Troy Bolton. He is the most popular male student at East High School, and the captain of the varsity basketball team. He has been played basketball. Also his father is a coach of this team. For this film, Efron's singing was blended with singer Drew Seeley’s voice. I like him. I thought he cans everything. He has both ability with sport player and singer. I’m jealous! He never resignation both if he is busy or something happen. His mind is wonderful.
Next is Gabriella Montez. She is one of the braniacs on the scholastic decathlon team and she is very cute and smart. She also, I’m jealous. Her voice is very cute and sweet. She looks like a Disney character. I like her voice very much! In this story, at first she was very poor to sing a song. But since she met Troy, she began remember that singing a song is very fun. I want to become her a person with many wonderful abilities lady.
Next is Sharpay Evans. She is an energetic student interested in theatre as well as being the center of all attention, most particularly, Troy's. Ryan Evans is Sharpay's brother. I also like them. I think that their very nice duet for the musical. Especially I like their dance and performance. Their dance makes me very fun. In this movie, their character is not so good. But it’s a very nice character.
Next is Chad Danforth. he is Troy's best friend, and is very good friends with Jason and Zeke. He often became a bad friend. But finally, he became a very kind friend. We felt friendship. So I know his mind. Troy should concentrate on basketball more! Because he is captain and his position is very important for team. The teammates also needs Troy. It’s very wonderful.
And Taylor McKessie is Gabriella's best friend. She is captain of the school Scholastic Decathlon team. She also often became a bad fiend to Gabriella. But she also a really kind person. I thought she and Chad will become very nice couple.
This movie makes me very happy every time. I know that this school is a movie and not a real American high school. But after I watched this movie, I had a longing to go to an American high school. I feel that for American student is very liberty is everything. For example life style, school style, expression. Of course it’s not only America and not America.
My most favorite scene is the audition. Troy and Gabriella’s voice are wonderful and many friends supported to them. Their power made their chance come true and they could chasee their dream. My heart became warm. I like many of the dance scenes of this movie. But I like this scene very much. If I have chance I want to watch this movie again and again!

Second Language
In my opinion, American students should have to learn second language. For one thing, now English is very popular language around the world. Of course it is also compulsory subject in Japan, So we can enjoy other country language and help our life. So If American student can study second language, they can broaden their horizon. Also now many country’s people go to America to study English. So, if American student can understand second language, they can help visitor, overseas student, for many times. Also , they can have interest about many other country. I think to learn second language is very important.
