Essay 1-02a: Essay

There are many universities in Japan. A lot of people spend their life in their university and our university is one of them. They enjoyed their university life for example, belongs to clubs. But most important thing to go to school is how to go to school. People come to school each way.


My house is near the university, so I usually go to school by bicycle. If I go to school by car, it takes more times than by bicycle. But when a rainy day, I must go by bus and on foot. It takes more times by bicycle, too. So, I always go to school by bicycle.


Some of my friends go to school by train. They live places where a little far from university. But they use not only train but also bicycle. They go to the station by bicycle and then they take the train. So, they always wake up early, they are in time for the train. Another friend lives alone near the school. So, she usually goes to school by bicycle but sometimes she come to school on foot.


Other friends go to school by their car. They live in Kikuchi and Kamoto. These are far from our university. So, they must borrow a parking space. Some people park their car in Kenritsugekijyo. These people drive their car sometimes, not everyday. They must think about traffic jam, especially on rainy day.


How to go to school differs with their house place. We must not be late for classes so we wake up early everyday. But to spend time in the university is very fun. For example, to chat with friends, to eat lunch, to spend the break time, and so on. Our classes are very hard and busy but we enjoyed our university life.

BR 1-06: A Dog Named SAM

I read "A Dog Named SAM". This book is a little longer than ever I borrowed. There are three stories in this book and this book seems interesting so, I tried borrowing this book.


I will write about first story. Sam loved to fetch. In the morning, Sam fetched every sock in the drawer for Noah. He also fetched all the shoes in the closet for Molly. Sam walked Molly and Noah to the bus stop. On the way he fetched everything that he could fit into his mouth. The school bus came. Molly and Noah got on.

Sam heard the newspaper land on the porch. He fetched it. Father patted his head and left for work. And he fetched every newspaper from every porch on the block. Mother had to return every newspaper to every porch on the block. While mother was gone, Sam saw socks hanging on the clothesline next door. Sam had fetched the whole clothesline. Mother had to put back the clothesline and all of the clothes. She scolded him. Sam had to fetch something. He heard the school bus. Now he knew what he had to fetch. He ran to the door and he flew out of the house. He raced to the bus stop and he fetched Molly and Noah.


Next story is "GET OUT OF WATER, SAM". Sam liked water. Whenever he saw water, he jumped in. He followed Molly and Noah to the beach. He leaped into the water but he was scolded by the lifeguard," Get out of the water". Sam went fishing with Father. He jumped into the lake but he was cried all of the other fisherman. Mother took Sam to the park and he lay down in a fountain but he was yelled a policeman. Whenever he went, Sam heard," Get out of the water". One hot sunny day Sam heard splashing and laughing. There was a pool party going on and the pool full of water. Sam ran through the crowd and jumped into the water. Everyone jumped into the pool. They wanted to be in the water with Sam.


Last story is "GOOD NIGHT, SAM". It was bedtime. Molly, Noah, Mother and Father went upstairs to bed. Sam was alone downstairs and he was wide awake. He tried to do something but he had nothing left to do. He looked out the window, the moon was bright. Sam threw back his head and sang but he was scolded. Suddenly he heard MONSTERS in the garbage and he barked but he was scolded. Sam sniffed the night air. He scratched at the door but he was scolded. Finally, he whimpered. Molly, Noah, Mother and Father couldn't not go back to sleep. Next morning, they all went downstairs. Then Sam lay down and closed his eyes. He was tired. He had had a busy night.


These stories are very interesting, I think. Sam is a active dog. Family is in trouble because of his actions. But they can't hate him. Sam is a very pretty dog.

Writing I-II

I learned many things in Writing I-II. The classes were basic English so it was very useful. First, I had never sent a letter in English before but when I took the classes, I had to send a letter to my friends in English. I was surprised. There was no class in high school classes.

Next, I learned about prepositions. Of course, I had studied before I took the class. But I didn’t have a good command of prepositions, so I learned about it more. I got the impression in Writing I-II is I talked with my friends in English in the class.

I liked it very much. I think Writing I-II classes were very important for me.
