The reason why I love Winnipeg

 I have stayed in Winnipeg since 2011, April 3rd. When I arrived here first time, I was excited. On the other hand, I felt tense to stay one year in Winnipeg Canada, which is a country I have never come. After I have stayed in here, I found lots of kindness in Winnipeg. At first, I didn’t think I will miss Winnipeg when I go beck Japan, but now I have started to love Winnipeg and am going to miss Winnipeg very much. The reason why I love Winnipeg is citizens in Winnipeg are kind. I would like to tell you a story of a woman who helped me.
 
 Last May, I changed to my homestay from residence. I had a horrible time on May. The most horrible thing was a day I got lost first time. When I moved to homestay, it was really difficult the way how to go to school and home. My host parents are so kind and they told me how to go there, but I am not good at to remember ways. Moreover, I have to take 2 buses. It made me confused. First day I went to school, I got lost. I forgot which bus stop I should get off, but I have to change the bus. Anyway, I decided to get off a bus stop which I have never seen. Of course, I had no idea to catch next bus. This time, I didn’t have confidence to speak English. I really don’t want to talk with Canadian people, but I didn’t have choice. Then, I asked a old woman how to go to U of M. Unfortunately, my English was really bad. She didn’t understand what I said, also I could not explain what I wanted. I just showed her a map of U of M, and then she guided me a bus stop which goes to U of M. Surprisingly, she waited a bus with me until the bus came even though it was pretty cold. After the bus came, she asked a bus driver about me. I cried a lot because she was very kind and help to me.

I didn’t ask her about her, also I think that I will never see her again because it was almost 10monthes ago. She might forget me. It has been my good experience and I will never forget about it.

If I have an chance to see her again, I really want to thank her, and I will have good conversation because my English has improved. That I want.

 By the way, I had a really awesome time on my birthday!
Thank you my friends who celebrated my birthdayJ

Also, I had lovely birthday and farewell party in my homestay!
Thanks a lot!!

All adults should live without their parents

I am going to talk about my opinion about adults living with their parents. 

In my opinion, adults should not live with their parents. It will not help them to become adults. I know that their parents will teach them how to live, but if they live with their parents, they will not have time to practice and have confidence. 

First of all, they need to grow up by themselves. If they live with their parents, they will lose opportunity to grow up their skills which they live themselves. They might not cook, clean, wash their clothes and so on. After their parents pass away, it will be difficult to live without their parents. They need to practice helping themselves. 

Then, they will not solve their problems. If they have some difficult situations or emergency, their parents will help them, and then they will never know how to solve their problems by themselves. They should know if they have some problems, they have to consider solving. It will help them to grow up their hearts.

 Finally, adults must give their parents back what their parents have done for them. Their parents have helped them such as paying money, feeding, taking care and so on. If they have become adults, their parents have gotten old. Their parents need help to do something. How adults can give their parents back is cooking, cleaning, washing their clothes and so on. I think that it is a duty what we have to do to our parents.
 
 In conclusion, adult have a right to grow up and help their parents. We can’t depend on our parents forever. That’s why all adults have to live without their parents for growing up their heart and becoming excellent adults.

My favorite Japanese Idol "AKB48"

I am going to talk about my favorite group of idol in Japan. They are called “AKB48”

AKB means AKihaBara which is one of famous city in Tokyo Japan. 48 is a number of members. They are group of singers, also they can dance. Their concept is “Be an idol who can see easily” We usually cannot see famous idol easily because idols are popular and lots of funs want to see them, but they sing in a small hall in Akihabara city. Nowadays, they are really famous, popular and busy, and yet they make time to sing in the small hall. 

One year one time, they have an election to decide at which position they will sing. This is a good chance for members who are not famous and popular. If you buy a CD, you can join the election. Some funs buy 10-30CDs for the election because they want their favorite idol will sing the front row.

Another interesting event is “scissors-paper-rock” in AKB48.
They also decide the position and members with scissors-paper-rock once a year. This is very enjoyable event for us. We can know more members who are not famous if they win. It is also good opportunity for minor members.

 I want to introduce my two favorite members.

First, her name is Yuko Oshima. She is 152 centimeters tall. Some people think that she looks like a squirrel, so her nickname is “korisu”( this mean small squirrel in Japanese)
She has been actress since she was child, but she could not be famous. After she has become one of member in AKB48, she has started to be famous!
AKB48 second election, she won and became the most popular member in AKB48.
I really love her because she always makes funny face though she is famous and popular. She likes to make fun, so she always thinks how can make fun in AKB48. She has really cute face. She has pretty personality. If I were reborn, I would like to be her seriously!!!



 Another one is Sae Miyazawa. She likes boyish style. She has short hair and always wears unique clothes. On the other hand, her personality is romantic. She has a girl’s mind. The reason why I like her is she is crybaby and emotional. I also cry easily, so I understand her opinion and ideas. I feel very close to her. She is not really famous, but she has started to be popular. I want to support her to become one of the famous member in AKB48.

  Finally, I have more information which I want to tell you. If you are interested in AKB48 or have questions, ask me whenever you want!!!<3


The memory that i wish it will never happen again.

I am going to talk about something Iwish had never happened. A thing I want to tell you is I got lost when I was 5 years old in my favorite place Tokyo Disney Land!



I went to Tokyo Disney Land with my family on weekend in summer. It was around 12:00pm. It was lunch time, so there are too many people in Tokyo Disney Land. We decided that my mother and my sister keep a table, and my father and myself went to buy a pineapple pizza at a small restaurant which is far from the table.

 When we walked to the restaurant for 5minutes, I noticed that I wasn’t with my father. I looked around me and tried to find him, but I could not find. However I wasn’t feel serious because I thought that my father will find me, so I quit to walk and waited for my father. About 10minutes, I was waiting for him, but he didn’t appear. Then, I realized that it is serious problem and I need to look for him. I began to walk, but I could not find him. I suddenly felt so sad, and then I looked for him crying. Nonetheless, nobody didn’t come and talk to me. I walked crying for 5minutes. I thought that nobody helps me, so I should find someone who looks kind, and then I decided a woman who is with 2 children. I asked her “Where is my father?” “Oh, do you get lost ? I don’t know where your father is. Follow me. I can help you to find your father” she said. She and myself started to find my father, but we could not, then she find a person who is working in Tokyo Disney Land. She asked him to help me to find my father. After that, she left and I continued to find my father with him. I suddenly heard a voice which I know. It was my father. He was also looking for me. We finally see near the restaurant! We thanked him and we went to the restaurant to buy the pineapple pizza. We talked why I got separated from my father, but we didn’t figure out. As a result, we enjoyed this day in Tokyo Disney Land. Cinderella castle is incredibly beautiful, attractions are enjoyable and so on. On the other hand, I will never forget how I felt so scared when I got lost. I wish I will never get lost alone again.

Farewell Party for my roommate

 On Sunday, I had a farewell party for Andrea, who is my roommate, with my homestay family. Andrea is my second roommate. She is from Czech. She came to Canada the end of October. When she came to my home, I couldn’t pick up her with my host family because it was a Helloween Party at University, so I met her next day which she came to my home. When I saw her first time, I was so surprised because she is very tall. I wanted teach her everything about Canada, my homestay and so on, but her English is better than mine, and she always helped me when I had some problems. I was helped by her! I have stayed with her for 4 months. It is very hard to say good bye to her because we have lots of memories. She is going to leave day after tomorrow, so we had the farewell party for Andrea.



This day of afternoon, Andrea started to pack her staffs in her luggage, but she has a lot of staffs. It was difficult to pack. After she succeeded to pack, we hugged because it was quite complicated. Before we had the party, we watched “King’s speech”. We promised to watch this movie, but we didn’t have a chance to watch because she was busy to play basketball. Finally, we watched. But, we didn’t have enough time to watch all. We will watch after I write this article! By the way, we made same hair style of Japanese style. This day, we had same hair style. Around 6:00pm, my homestay family’s families came and ate supper together. I ate meatballs, ham, salads and so on. I was so full! Unfortunately, my host parents’ grandsons were so active and started to play a trick. It was really though exercise. We were so tired. This day was the worst day I have ever played with them.



After all, we took pictures, and host parents gave Andrea a present. Also, she gave them some presents. I was also received some presents from her. She gave me two dolls, a picture and a candle. Those things are going to be important goods for me.



I am sure that I am going to miss her very much. On the other hand, I still cannot believe that she is leaving. I feel like she is still in Winnipeg until I go back Japan.

I am so happy to have important person in Czech. I will keep in touch and go to Czech to see her in the future.

The place which I will never forget

I am going talk about a place which I will never forget.

I have gone to Okinawa prefecture for 4days 3years ago because of my high school excursion. Okinawa prefecture is located in south of Japan. There is warm weather but there are some typhoons regularly in summer time. When I have been there, it was on the middle of October. Usually In October, we have quite cold temperature in the main island of Japan, but there was pretty hot temperature in Okinawa prefecture.
 A first and second day, I went to the place which was related to the world second war. One of the place which I went is Tower of Himeyuri. Himeyuri is one of a team of       Japanese girl’s rescue in the world second war. This building has some goods of the girls and their pictures. Inside of building, I smelled incense sadly because some people who arrived this building used incense for the girls. Some place in this building, I cannot see clearly because of incense. One room, there are lots of their pictures. I felt like someone was looking at me frequently. I read a diary of the girl who was in Himeyuri for 4months. Her diary said that she lost her family after 2week she joined Himeyuri. I was so sad deeply. After I left the Tower of Himeyuri, I felt like I have to consider about war seriously. I don’t want the war occur again.
 Second and third day, I went to the ocean. The ocean is really beautiful. I smelled a fresh sea breeze. I can see the bottom of the ocean surprisingly. When I dove the ocean, I drunk water little bit. It was very salty, so I threw up that water soon. There are lots of activities on the ocean. I had a small tour of ship. I can feed fishes. The fishes are colorful and many kinds. It was pleasant for me. After I went small tour, I rode Banana Boat. Banana Boat is the small boat to ride. Another big boat pulls the Banana boat and we can ride the boat speedy. It was a lot of fun! Near the ocean, I found some hibiscus. The hibiscuses are pretty and charming.
 Okinawa prefecture is the island and far from the main island of Japan, so they have some different languages and strong dialects. Also, they have different personalities from Japanese people in the main island of Japan. They are very optimistic and easygoing. Some people say that warm weather makes Okinawa people optimistic and easygoing.

Okinawa prefecture is wonderful place in Japan. I want to go there again. I know that Okinawa prefecture is one of historical place, but also I feel like time passes slowly. I can relax when I stayed in Okinawa prefecture. That’s why Okinawa place which I will never forget.

My weekend. 2/18-20

I am going to talk about my weekend.
 
On Saturday, I went to Canada Inn, which is near Polo Park, with my homestay family because my homestay parents’ daughter family borrowed one room, so we went to Canada Inn and swimming together. Before we went to a pool, we ate supper in Canada Inn. It was buffet. I ate a lot of food in there. Also, we can make ice cream by ourselves. I made own ice cream and ate. But, after I ate, the grandsons wanted to make ice cream for me, so he said “Can I make your ice cream?” I didn’t say “no” because their eyes told me that they really want to make mine. When they brought my ice cream, I was so surprised. It was so big. I was so full already, but I ate all. I felt like I am going to die in the pool. After we finished our supper, we went to the pool. There is a water sliding and a hot tub in the pool. My hostfamily’s grandsons want me to play together, so I tried the water sliding 5 or 6 times. I was so tired, but the grandsons were not tired like me. Then I tried the hot tub. Hot water make me so comfortable. I like it! After all, I went back home because our homestay family didn’t borrow a room. It was fun! But, sooo tired!!

On Sunday, I went to bowling on Dakota with Diana, Cecilia, Andrea, who is my roommate, and Shiho, who is 350 student in IEP.. It was second time to play bowling. Canadian bowling style is different from Japanese style. Pins are fewer than Japanese pins. A ball is smaller than Japanese one. At first, I felt very strange, but I enjoyed now. It is easy to hit pins, and we have 3times to play. On the other hand, Japanese bowling just 2 times. We played almost 1 and half hours, also we ate a pizza. We had great time with my friends! After I went back home, my hostfamily’s grandsons came to my home. One of grandson gave me a piece of pizza. I ate pizza second time, so I decided this day was pizza day. After I ate pizza, the grandson who gave me a piece of pizza and I battled with a pillow. He flung me the pillow strongly. I had good exercise with him.

On Monday, I went to the forks with Cecilia, Haruka, Andrea, Shiho and Luisa, who is IEP student. We skated on around the forks. It was first time to skate for Cecilia. I teach her how to skate, but I am not sure my teaching is good or not. At the first, Cecilia and Haruka just walked on the ice, but they improved a lot! They skated finally! After we skated, we went to Pancake house. I ate a strawberry pancake! It was so delicious. We had a good exercise with skating, but we ate the big pancake. I think our exercise didn’t work… I love skating! I want to go again! Also, I was so tired after all!!

I had wonderful weekend! I am lazy to go to school x(

My Life in Winnipeg

I have stayed in Winnipeg since April 3rd. I am studying English in Intensive English Program (IEP) of University of Manitoba. I am a second grade of university student in Japan. Studying English in Canada for one year is one of my Japanese university programs. The reason why I decided to study English in IEP is I wanted to speak English and have different experience which Japanese people usually don’t have. In Japanese education, studying English is not important because we don’t have opportunity to speak English in Japan. Of course, I knew some vocabulary before I have come to Canada, but I didn’t have confidence and enough skills to speak because I have never spoken English. Also, Japan is one of island country in the world. I don’t see many foreigners. Hence, we don’t need to know English in Japan.

 Last April, I lived in residence. I didn’t know that I can greet foreigners or not because Japanese people usually don’t greet if we don’t know each other. When a foreigner  student who live in residence greet me on the corridor of the residence, I was so surprised, happy and shy. You may understand why I was surprised and happy. Why I was so shy because I thought that someone would think I posed as a foreigner person. I know I am very Japanese, but this is Japanese. This month, I took a nap every day after class because I was so tired I hear, speak and read English all day long. Nonetheless, I wasn’t lonely because I talked with my Japanese friends every night to speak Japanese.

 Since last may, I have lived in homestay. I realized I didn’t have opportunity to speak English if I lived in residence. Also It is difficult to make friends with foreigners because I am shy person. Fortunately, my homestay family is really nice, and my roommate has become my best friend. I really love them, though I got homesick. I didn’t know that I cannot speak Japanese is really hard, tough and sad. I wanted to tell them about my story in my school such as I talked my Japanese friends every night in residence, but I didn’t know how to speak and describe. I called my family in Japan and cried before go to bed every night. I don’t remember the day that I didn’t feel homesick. I have talked English with my friends, homestay family, teachers in IEP and all people who speak English. In September or October, I haven’t felt embarrassed to speak English. My English is still not good. I often forget to add articles. I don’t know how to explain what I want to say sometimes, but I have confidence to speak, furthermore I enjoy.

After I moved to homestay, my life was changed, and I have started to enjoy Canada life. Firstly, my homestay family and my roommate has become my important people in my life. My homestay family invites roommate and myself to go to shopping, their family’s birthday party and so on. I have a lot of fun with them. I made 4 Canadian friends who are my hostfamily’s grandsons. They are very kind, and I play with them a lot. Hide and seek is one of my favorite game which I played with them. Then, I met some friends who are in another English program at the bus stop. They can speak English more than me because they stay longer. I learnt English from them. Then, IEP have a program which is “language partner”. IEP introduces IEP students Canadian people, then we can talk and improve my English skills. Most of the language partners are university students. I have had a partner who is a university teacher. I talk about my life. She talks about her life. We talk lots of things. I really enjoyed with her. Finally, IEP program has activities every weekend. There are 5 activity leaders in IEP and they lead us. IEP teaches me ideas to enjoy Winnipeg. One of my favorite activity is going to paint ball.

 Time flies every day. My program of studying English in Canada is coming to the end. I am going to go back home the end of March. I am going to miss all my important people whom I met in Winnipeg. I only have 49days to spend in Winnipeg Canada. I thank for all of people who make me love Winnipeg.

 Now, I don’t fear to speak English. After I graduate my Japanese university, I want to have job which use English. I will be back my second home Winnpeg to visit my hostfamily, friends and IEP in the future. These are my dream which I have declared in Canada.

My best friends in Japan

I am going to talk about my best friends in Japan.
They are my best friends, also they are like my family!

When I was a high school student, I was in a wind orchestra club for 3 years.
They are my members. At first, I didn’t like them because some friends are very active, some friends are very quite. I cannot accept them as my friends.
My club had 1-3events every month, so I had practice every day all day.
I don’t remember when they have become my best friends, but I think that we overcame a lot of problem which were very hard and tough. I shared happy, sad, angry and hard time with them. That’s why we have a strong bond of friendship now.


One year one time, there are two kinds of wind orchestra (A or B style) contest in summer. A style contest is for big wind orchestra clubs. They need to play 2 songs with 36-50players. B style contest is for small wind orchestra clubs. They need to play 1 song with 1-35players. Usually, they are begun on the end of July. My wind orchestra club participate B style contest because my members were just 39playes. On the end of July, we have the contest each prefecture. Each the contests decide which clubs can play the music well. Then, just 2-3 clubs can win and forward next contest which is the prefecture contest. After prefecture contest, there are South or East of Japan contests. Finally, there is the Japan of wind orchestra contest. All the clubs want to go the Japan of wind orchestra contest, but it is extremely difficult because about 1,626 clubs participate the contest. When I was third year student, I forwarded the east of Japan contest with my members, moreover we were decided the best wind orchestra club in the prefecture contest. We could not forward the Japan of wind orchestra club, but it was the happiest memory with my friends in life.

Some of my best friends have already decided their job. Some of my best friends are still university student like me. We are still very close. Before I have come to Canada, they gave me a surprise party and many presents!!! I cried a lot.
They are looking forward to seeing me on April, and we will go to buffet restaurant because we love eating. I am so happy to see them again!!
I think that to meet really important friend in our life is not easy thing.
I am so happy to meet them.
They are best and important friend forever.

My weekend. 2/3-2/5

I am going to talk about my weekend.

On Friday, I didn’t have mid-term exam so I went to Karaoke with IEP activity.
It was the first time to go to Karaoke in Winnipeg Canada.
At Karaoke, I met many my friends and Ashley! I sang some songs with Diana, Japanese song with Haruka. Also, one of my teacher who is learning Japanese sang a Japanese song! I was glad to sing “I will always love you” with Ashley!! Thank you very much J Also, danced with Japanese songs. My legs are still muscular pain. Singing English song is very difficult for me. I want to sing better!
That night was really fun! I enjoyed Karaoke! But, it was Korean Karaoke. I couldn’t understand Korean and they have many Korean songs more than English songs. I want to try different Karaoke place another day.

On Saturday, I woke up at 1:00pm. I slept a lot. Then I checked my message in my cell phone. I received a massage from Shiho who is living with my host mother’s daughter house. Shiho is in 350level in IEP. She invited me to go to St. Vital mall, so I went to St.Vital with My roommate who is called Andrea and Shiho. We looked for the store sales, but almost store sales were finished. Andrea and I bought nothing, but Shiho bought her friend chocolate for birthday present.
After shopping, we came back my home with Shiho. We ate supper together and watched the movie which is Narnia. It was first time to watch Narnia. I was really excited. I want to watch 2nd and 3rd part also.

On Sunday, Andrea, Shiho and I wanted to go to the Forks, but my host mother invited us to go to their grandson’s house to watch American Football game. So, we went to grandson’s house. Before watched the game, we ate supper. It was a moose humbugger and seafood soup. My host father went moose hunting in British Colombia before few months. That why we ate moose meat. The moose humbugger was delicious! But, I felt guilty a little bit. I focused to watch the game for 15minutes, but I couldn’t understand the rule. I gave up watching and played with grandson. He wanted to dance with the song of FLMAO, so we danced together. My muscular pain has been gotten worth.
After we danced, we walked around the house. I saw the church which is built long time ago. It was beautiful with the moon.
After my host families watched the game, we came back home.
I don’t know about the football game, but host grandsons were happy because the team they supported was won.
I had great weekend with my host families!! (^ω^)♥

Wedding Ceremony in Japan

I am going to talk about Wedding Ceremony in Japan.
I haven’t attended wedding ceremony until now because, but I am very curious wedding ceremony and it is one of my dream in my life!

In Japan, we call wedding ceremony “Hirouen”.
Usually, a bride and groom invite thire family and friends.
They can choose the place from hole for wedding ceremony, restaurant or hotel.
My parents had a wedding ceremony in the hotel.


The bride and groom can choose white dress or Kimono, also they can wear both if they want. My parents wore both.I also want to wear both of them because many people wear both.

If you are invited wedding ceremony, you have to give money for the bride and groom.
This is Japanese tradition.People usually give about 30,000yen (about $300)

In ceremony,
First, the bride and groom enter the ceremony room after the guests sit their seat.
The bride and groom can choose the back ground music.
They usually use Lohengrin which is made by Wagener.
During they are entering to the ceremony room, the guests clapping their hands.

Secondly, a master of ceremonies introduce the bride and groom, their family their history and so on. Then, all people toast for them. After that, the bride and groom cut a big cake together. It is the biggest event in wedding ceremony.
After they cut cake, they give a morsel of cake each other.

Thirdly, the bride and groom change another dress.
They usually change to color dress. While they are changing, the master of ceremonies read letters from their friends who cannot come to their wedding ceremony.

Then, their friends entertain in the ceremony.
They sing songs, dance, whatever they do for the ceremony.
Finally, the bride and groom have a speech for their parents.

It is wedding ceremony in Japan. I hope that I will have in the future!

Dear my friend who wants to study English in Winnipeg, Canada

I know you want to come to Canada to study English.
I have studied English in Winnipeg, Canada for 10 months.
I am going to give you advices which studying English in Winnipeg, Canada.

You know that I am studying English in Intensive English Program of University Manitoba.
There are lots of students who are from different countries.
I recommend joining this program because I think that my English is improving.
I have learned English grammar, vocabulary, reading and so on correctly.
IEP program has many advantages.
You can have lots of friends. IEP teachers are very kind and friendly. Especially, IEP has activities. You can enjoy Canadian Life.
However, a lot of students are from Japan, so it is difficult to improve speaking skill in this program.
So, if you want to improve your speaking skill, I really recommend living in a homestay because you have to speak and listen English all the time.
Also, your homestay family will be your treasure.

Winnipeg winter is really cold. The temperature will be -40degrees.
Your jackets that you will bring from Japan might not enough, so you should buy in Winnipeg.
On the other hand, Winnipeg summer is very hot, but it isn’t humid like Japan.
Don’t forget to drink water a lot!

My Japanese friend, don’t think that you can use chopstick in Canada.
Just Japanese, Korean and Chinese restaurant can use chopsticks.
In homestay, they usually don’t use the chopsticks.
You have to use folk and knife. Be careful!



I cannot tell you all now.
I am going to go back Japan the end of March, so I will tell you all in April.
I hope that you will have an opportunity to study in Winnipeg, Canada.

My favorite place in Japan

I am going to talk about Tokyo Disney Land and Tokyo Disney Sea.
I have been there more than 50 times because I love Disney movie, characters and music.
Also, my mother loves Disney. When I was a child, my parents have taken me Tokyo Disney Land many times.

Tokyo Disney Land and Sea are located in Chiba prefecture, which in next to Tokyo, in Japan.
I can go there for 2hours by the train.
They open 9:00am to 11:00pm.
If I go there, I usually stay there 9:00am to 10:00pm.
I have a lot of things I want to do in Tokyo Disney Land and Sea.

They have lots of attractions like roller coasters, merry-go-rounds, and so on.
The roller coasters are really horrible.
When I was first year student of high school, I tried to ride the roller coaster which is Tower of teller in Tokyo Disney Sea.
It was really horrible so I cried.
After two years, I wanted to try again, but while I was waiting my turn, I cried and exit.
This time I swear that I will never try again.

My favorite place in Tokyo Disney Land is Cinderella Castle.
It is huge and beautiful.
At night time, it will light up, so it is so beautiful.
The reason why I want to stay Tokyo Disney Land until night time is I want to see Cinderella Castle.
I hope that my boyfriend whom I don’t know yet will say to me under the Cinderella Castle about marry him in the future.

Now, I miss Tokyo Disney Land very much!!
After I go back Japan, I want to go there as soon as possible!

United 93 Movie Discussion

January 20, I watched United 93 in the class.
It was first time to watch this movie, and I was really shocked.
When this tragedy was happened, I was an elementary school student.
I didn’t notice that it was big event.

I am going to write down my opinion about United 93.
I think that the reason why United 93 was filmed in real time is director wants to make us the same feeling like the passenger was felt.
When the terrorists hijacked the airplane, I was so dreadful and scared.
I felt like I was in the same airplane and I saw people were killed by terrorists.
I couldn’t stop crying because I could image that I was there.
The passengers decided to fight back.
The passenger ware known about world trade center was attacked by 2 airplanes.
They realized that their airplane also will attack to another, so they don’t want to wait to die. Then, they decide to fight back.
In addition, they wanted to believe that they can win and be alive. They want to see their family and friend again.
If I were them, I also wanted to fight back because I want to come back to my family. I want to everything if I can see my family again.
But, If I was in there, I was not sure I can do or not because it was very horrible.
This situation was really awful I have ever seen.
If the passengers didn’t fight back, the airplane was attacked to another building because the terrorists had strong belief. I don’t think their belief would change whatever happened.
I was changed by United 93. I have known that this event was so huge one and I understand that why many airports check our luggage.
Before I watched this movie, I couldn’t understand and I felt annoyed.
The passengers were so brave.
I think that the victims’ families are proud of their family such as the passengers, so victims’ families want all of people know about them
Also, they hope that the tragedy like 9/11 will not happen anymore.

Jan.16th

Today, I am going to talk about Christmas day of my winter vocation.

I am a student of English program so I had a long winter vacation last month.
Christmas day, I had a big supper with my host family and my host family’s family.
14 people came to my home and we celebrated.
Before we had a big supper, I cooked with my host mother and my roommate.
My roommate and I cut a lot of vegetables.
When we cut onions, we cried together and host mother laughed.
We cooked for almost 3hours.
After we cooked, my host family’s family came to my home and we ate supper.
We ate turkey, chicken balls, chocolate and banana pie and so on.
After we ate, we walked around our house.
Then, we opened the presents near the Christmas tree.
My host family’s grandsons have gotten lots of presents so they looked very happy!
I have gotten the presents from my host family, Santa Claus, my host mother’s friend, my roommate and my host family’s dog!!!!
I was so excited!! My favorite present is pajamas from my host family.
Also, I gave my host family the present which is chopsticks.
They looked happy and I am glad!
After we opened the presents, I played with my host family’s grandsons.
They are very active and cute.
I played wrestling and ran my home with them.
I was so tired but It was good excise for me.

It was the first time to spend Christmas day in Canada.
I am very happy to stay this day with my host family, and this memory is one of my treasure in my life.

Welcome!
