Essay (2-2b): Baseball & travel English websites

I saw a lot of English web sites in the class. I chose three web sites. I will write about them. First, I chose English professional baseball web site. Next, I chose Mariners web site. Finally, I chose travel web site.

This baseball web site is short sentences and not difficult so, it is easy to understand. There are many information about twelve teams in this site. Recently, Jyojima decided to play baseball in Japan. He had played baseball in Japan before, but he went to Major League and he joined Mariners. He is a catcher and he played with Ichiro. Jyojima was selected WBC by Hara manager of the Giants. He is a great player. He had belonged to the Softbank Hawks but this time he decided to join the Hanshin Tigers. I am looking forward to watch him play next year. Draft commission held in Japan yesterday. Yusei Kikuchi was selected by six teams. The result was that Saitama Seibu Lions got a right of his negotiation. I want to watch his pitching soon.

I will write about Mariners. There are some pictures and videos in this site so, it is interesting. Speaking of Mariners, I like Ichiro very much. He is a so famous baseball player. He chose WBC, too. If he joined WBC member, Japan didn’t won the world championship. Ichiro records his 200th hit for the nine straight season. It is terrific record. He does same things every day but he evolves day by day. When he played baseball in Japan, he belonged to Orix Buffaloes. He is the pride of Japan. I am sure he will make new record in the future.

I like to see travel web sites because I can know a lot of information of many countries. This time, I chose web site which a tour to Bangkok, Thailand. This web site’s sentences are not too long so, it is easy to understand. I have never been to Thailand, but this site writes many things. If I don’t know where there are tourist spots, I see this site and I can find it. I like shopping so if I go to Thailand, I want to go shopping. This site gives me information of many shopping places. For example, Siam paragon, Central World, Weekend Market and other destinations. And this site also put restaurant information with pictures. When I see it, I really want to go there. The others, there are many pictures in the site. It makes me feel fun. I liked Bangkok more and more.

I searched English web site in the class, I want to see more English web site. I want to try to see English site not only Japanese site.
