Vacation plans

I have a lot of plan to do this summer vacation. First, I have to prepare for studying abroad, so I need something to use while I stay there like cloths and travel goods. That's why I will go shopping. Second, I will get together with my relatives because of the Bon festival. I am looking forward to seeing them. Third, I want to reunion with my old friends before I go to Canada. I will have contact to them, and get together. My friends and I will talk. And I am going to go to Kikuchi Hakuryu festival with exchange students in August. I think it is last time to have a good time with them, so I want to enjoy it! I think I should study English every day in my Vacation, and it is my plan that I am going to study English at least 3hours in a day. I will start my abroad life from the end of August, so half of my vacation is not vacation for me. I will try to do my best, and I will improve my English ability. I forgot to write about one more my plan. I am going to be taken picture for coming of age before I leave. I need to show it to my grandparents because I can't attend the celebration. I also want to bring the picture to Canada, and show it for students who are not Japanese. I am looking forward to it too.

BR01 13-Hucleberry Finn

Last time, I read The adventures of Tom Sawyer and this time I read Huckleberry Finn!! It is right to read Tom Sawyer before I read Huck's story because this story is about Huck's life after Tom and Huck got a lot of money in Tom Sawyer's story. This story is also very interesting and exciting. The good point of this book is that everything is written from Huck's view. I think it is effective of making the story more realistic. This style also makes me understood Huck's feeling easily. I think in this book, you can learn American history about slavery a little. It is also advantage of reading it. I like Huck's story better than Tom's story. However, I like both character, they seem to be bad boys at first, but they have kindness. I also like their friendship, they are very good friend. I want everyone to read this book especially who are taking American literature class.

My opinion

I think Japan should have society which is good to live for women. Now it is hard for women to work, rising up their children in Japan. I know that actuary it is not so hard. However, I heard that the best time to birth child is when women are during 18 to 25 years old. I think it is hard for women because, they usually graduate college at 23 years old. Then they start to work, and they need time, at least 2 years to be accustomed to their new job and cirucumstance. In addition to that, now in Japan has recession so there is no guarantee to get job soon after graduate. That's why almost women miss the time to get pregnant during the best time. I also think some of Japanese companies don't give chance to have child-care leave. It also makes it difficult for woman to have children.
It is called age birth to bear child over 30 years old, and there is more risk to have miscarriage. In Japan, the average age of  giving birth first child is 29.5 and it is almost 30!
We may put up with this situation because women have opportunity to have a job. Before WWⅡ it was common that women stay at home and take care their child and  do housework, while men should go out to earn money (work) in Japan. After Japan confirmed the low about sexual equality, women have less time to stay at home and take care their child.
For these reasons, decreasing child is developing. However, we should solve this problem. Japan should introduce new system to have children easily to stop decreasing children, and companies should give more chance to have parental leave.

blogging

I think blogging is good way to practice typing. I wrote a lot of things on my blog. At first, I thought that blogging was troublesome work because I couldn't keep doing something for a long time. What’s more, when I heard that I must write at least 10000 words, I felt it was hard. However, now I posted about 50 articles and I have written about 9000 words on my blog now!! I like blogging now because I can share something interesting topics with other people. I found some funny movies. I want people to watch it. I posted my favorite things, so I want people to know it. I think it is good way to get friends through  blogging.

BR01 12- The Adventures of Tom Sawyer

I decided to read it because I want to read Huckleberry Finn. I take English literature class in this semester and I will learn about it in the class. I read the first page of Huckleberry Finn; it says that reader should read the adventures of Tom Sawyer before read this story. I read the story of Tom Sawyer, and it was excitement! I think Tom Sawyer is clever boy, and he is challenger! He has experienced a lot, but sometimes he is in danger! In this book, he saw a murder in grave. It triggered to change his life! I think everyone can enjoy reading this story because it is describing not only adventures but also romance and friendship! It is so interesting that I can finish reading it soon. That's why I recommend you to read this book. By the way, I found that Huckleberry Finn is his friend, and he is also unique character, so I am interested in Huckleberry Finn more than before I read Tom Sawyer. I am looking forward to learn it!!

YKI

Are you interested in YKI? YKI means youkai that is said in English ghost!! I got a article about that Fukuoka city Museum is going to hold  Yokai exhibition in this summer. There are a lot of pictures written in Edo period. I think it will give visitor not only horrible but also humor. One of the events held in the museum is the general election of YKI48! We can join the election. We are voter! People can choose their favorite yokai from lists and vote! It sounds interesting. As you know from this explanation, it follows the event which was held by famous idol group AKB48.
←These pictures are one of parts of candidates! Every yokai has their own catchphrase. It makes me fun!! It is funny!! I want to go the museum this summer!!

Parfait♪

I got a parfait which I long for to eat!!!!! It tasted Matcha! I was happy because I like Matcha parfait. I knew a new original premium sweet was released at Seven Eleven, so I bought it. It looked so delicious isn't it?
I ate it yesterday. Of course, it was good, but it was not more delicious than I have expected. It is a little sweater for me...
In this summer I want to eat a lot of parfaits and find my favorite one!!
