English what I learned in USA

    I learned many things in Tamara’s writing and grammar class about for 4 month. At grammar class we learned about tenses for example simple tense, progressive tense, perfect tense etc... We made graphs about how to use the tense and examples by our selves. We can show this graph whenever we forget how to use them. It’s really good things for us.
    At the writing class we learned about how to write sentences, paragraphs, and essays. Also we learned about time order. At first I didn’t know what differences between paragraph and essay, but now I can understand it. Essay is just longer and more details than paragraph. But I didn’t know what is thesis yet. I know topic sentence, I thought topic sentence and thesis are the same one. So I want to know about thesis and topic sentence again.
    It’s difficult for me to study English but I enjoy studying English. My teacher Tamara is really good teacher for you. My advice for next students is speak a lot in the class and if you can’t understand, you should ask Tamara immediately. She will answer you until you can understand. Thanks to Tamara I had a great time in America, thank you Tamara, I love you Tamara.

thanksgiving dayyyy

     Thanksgiving day is celebrated each year on the fourth Thursday of November in the United States. I didn’t know what is thanksgiving day and why the people celebrate this day. We celebrate labor thanksgiving day on November 23. They are almost same day, so I thought thanksgiving day and labor thanksgiving day is same holiday. But I heard the woman who knows Japanese culture and American culture what difference between thanksgiving day and labor thanksgiving day, she said the thanksgiving day in America is thanks to god for giving foods. By contrast Japanese labor thanksgiving day is the day that thanks for the people to honor labor, celebrate manufacturing and give thanks to one another. So the name of day is similar but it is different what the people thanks for. I understood but just listen and celebrate for real is different. We have come from America a great distance, I want to celebrate at home with American people. I can’t eat turkey at home because I’m living in dome but Tomoe can so I’m so jealous of Tomoe.

halloween:)

     The JSA(Japanese Student Association) held the Haunted House on Tuesday night. I joined as a ghost. I was a Sadako that night. Do you know Sadako? Sadako is the most typical ghost in Japan. We can say symbol of ghost in Japan. Sadako appear in the film of horror movie “ The ring”. She has very long black hair, and she died but she keep living in the video which called curse video. She kills someone who watched the curse video. It’s really scary movie. This time we had to be own country ghost, so I and Tomoe were Sadako.
Sadako doesn’t have injure in her face in the film but we made up some injure because of more fear. It was my first time that I make up special makeup in my life. I got my face made up 2 injures in cheek and forehead. It looked like a real injures. I put on wig so, it was really scary injures which we can see a chink in the long hair occasionally.
At first I couldn’t amaze people well because in spite of we have own space, other ghost came my space so I couldn’t appear in front of customer, so it was really boring for me. But I kept trying to appear then I noticed one thing. Where is Tomoe ? I and Tomoe appeared near place at first, but I couldn’t find her about for 20 minutes. I looked for Tomoe and I found her at the corner of the room. She was lying on the floor so I thought she pretend dead people. But she was sleeping!!! There were very noisy for shouting people and video’s sound and there were smoking by fog machine. I can’t believe her. I think she is genius in sleep!!! The fire alarm went off because of too much smoke. Probably Tomoe can’t escape if there are a fire in her bed room. Finally I could appear with perfect timing and someone fell down when I amazed him. To amaze people was really funny!!!

fall break in USA♥

windy city Chicago♥
     Tomoe, Ayano, Emma, Ramin and, I went to Chicago in fall break. This is my first time to go to Chicago. We went to Chicago by bus. We took about 5 hours so I was very tired. Chicago was very cold and windy. I didn’t know Chicago called windy city. Compare with Saint Louis and Chicago, I always wear the T-shirt in Saint Louis but I wore sweater and jacket in Chicago. We visit to millennium park, navy pier, and watched blue man in there. There are many famous place to see for example John Hancock, museum of contemporaray art, sky deck, art institute of Chicago,shedd aquarium, adler planetarium and, field museum of natural history. Tell the truth I wanted to go more place especially shedd aquarium and field museum of natural history but I’m satisfied with shopping.
      I watched blue man show first time. I have watched on TV in Japan but the enjoyment wasn’t same at all between watch on TV and watch directly because the audience is caught up in the show. There were a lot of pleasure what we couldn’t know on TV. Our seat was very far from the stage but the blue man came some time. The show was funny. In the end of the show, the music sounded heavily and the light was glittering like night spot. I was happy I took picture with blue man!! 
      I like the best in Chicago is statue of Marilyn Monroe. I didn’t know there are statue of famous pose Marilyn Monroe in Chicago. It was very huge and elaborate statue. Why I like this the best is that I’m interested in her panties. When we took a picture with her, I was embarrassed seeing her panties. But the panties moved me at first sight because that is really likes real panties. The statue was wearing white panties!!!!! I didn’t know what color she was wearing. I couldn’t take picture with panties at first visit because to take picture of someones panties was little embarrassed me. But I wanted to tell my friends about her panties, so I went to there again and I took picture with shorts. I wondered that Marilyn Monroe was putting on the same panties when she filmed the movie. 
     Look back on this Chicago trip, my brain filled with her panties. haha..lol

Surprise party♥

Yesterday, 6th of October is Hajar’s birthday!! Tomoe, Ayano, Nidaa and I planed surprise party in Adelia’s class. Tomoe bought cake, and Nidaa brought juice and we wrote a birthday card. Actually I had to prepare the video about Hajar but I couldn’t do it bacause I had to presentation in Adelia’s class. I was pushed for time. Before the class, Nidaa and Hajar went out the class room, then we prepared the party. We waited them with the light turn off. When Nidaa and Hajar came to class we sang a birthday song. I thought she was aware of the surprise party because we talked about party a lot, we brought big baggage, we ware fidgeting. But she completely didn’t notice because she didn’t remember own birthday so Hajar’s surprise party succeeded!! She said this is the first time to celebrate by someone. In Japan we celebrate birthday every day so I felt a bit of culture of a shock. I regret that I couldn’t prepare Hajar’s video but it was so fun!! I can’t wait next someone’s birthday:)♥

My hero





 Miyazaki Hayao is Japanese cartoonist and direction, and he established Studio Jiburi. Do you know Sen to Chihiro no Kamikakushi (Spirited Away) or Mononoke hime (princess Mononoke) ? He made these famous movies. Sen to Chihiro no Kamikakushi is story about a girl whose name Chihiro. She works in the strange public bath, because she wants to help her parents who were changed pigs. Finally she noticed her own feeling. Mononoke hime is the story about a girl whose name San. She is a human but she lives with Japanese wolfs. She doesn’t like human because her wolf friend was killed by people. This movie speak to us how to live with animals and nature. He made a lot of movies until now and he won many prizes in the world. Why he is hero? Did he help someone? No! Did he protect someone ? No!! There are many cartoonist in Japan, but every Japanese know him like Obama in America. And His movies are very beautiful scene. He always write forest, sea or river. It’s very mysterious. Why he always write nature in his movie is he wants to take a strong stand for the audience that people destroy the natural world. I was reflected when I watched his movie so I think he is my hero. I agree with him because people destroyed the natural world too much until now, and maybe from now on.
