Essay 2-03b: English makes me happy!

2009-12-17T23:32:00.005+09:00

I started learning English when I was elementary school student. I learned English when I was a child.
I was learned English some way. I sometimes listened English music and watched English movies when I was child. I saw some English movies with my mother, and I listened English song when I ride my father’s car with him.
I went to Kumon when I was elementary school student.
I went to abroad with my family.
Like that, I learned English some way. Now, I am learning English at my university. I think that my school life is little hard, but it is so interesting. I think I have to study more, so I want to work using English future.

First of all, when I was a child, I watched English movies with my mother, so my mother likes English movies. I often watched with her. We often watched love story and comedy. We watched it by caption, so I heard a lot of English conversation. It was difficult, but it was funny for me. Also, I listened some English songs when I ride my father’s car. My father likes the Beatles and Von Jovi. That music is piped in through speakers at his car. We often went drive in my family, so I often listened them. There is so good music, I think. My father operated me.
Now, I often English music at my room and my car, also I often watch English movie when I have a free time. I like Ne-yo, Avril Lavine and more, because I often listen theirs song. I listen rock and pop music recently. This is my university’s senior’s affection. He likes them, and he has good sense. I often them when I wake up, because I am cheerful when I listen those music. I sometimes listen to them with word card, if I cannot hear the words exactly. To listen English music is so difficult for me now, but it is study at English and so interesting!
I have a lot of favorite English movies. Especially, I like “Road of the ring”, “Holliday”, “Devil wears prada”, “Pirates of Caribbean” and “Cutie blond”. It makes me happy when I watch it. I like Japanese movie than English movie, because English movie is so cute and interesting. It is a good lesson for me to learn English too. I want to watch more many English movies.

Second, I went to Kumon to study English and math, because my mother was a teacher there. I went there after school and after club activities. I listened to a lot of English CDs, answer some Japanese and English questions, and I spoke English there. Learning English was hard and difficult for me first time. However I liked English a lot, because learning English was so funny and I was interested in English. I enjoyed English so fun in those days.

Next, I went to Hawaii with my family when I was elementary school student. I went there first time. There is such a fantastic and beautiful place. I heard a lot of English conversations, but I could not speak English myself. When I heard English conversations, I decided that I want to become speaking English. I want to go there again, when I am able to speak English well, and I want to go shopping, sightseeing by bus and taxi, go to diamond hear and beautiful sea, eating out for restaurant myself. If I become speaking English very well, I am waiting for to go to Hawaii than now.

Finally, I am learning English at KGU. I have some English class every day. It is “Speaking class”, “Listening class”, “Writing class”, “English culture class” and “English history class”.
I like “English history class” and “English culture class” very much. I am learning about English history at “English history class”. For example, I learned about “Old English”, “Middle English” and “Modern English” in those days. It was little difficult for me to understand difference of these words, but it is so interesting for me. I want to more study about it. I am learning about English culture at “English culture class”. For example, I learned the difference of American English and British English, and I learned about the festival and holiday at America and United States. There are a lot of fantastic and strange festival and holiday. I want to take part in Easter egg hunting. I think it is so interesting.

I think that the problem to garbage is the so big things, because everyday we has a lot of garbage. For example, people’s home, building sites, council waste and business, as it we have garbage from some place. We always throw out when we need not something. That is nearly three kilograms per person, every day of the year. When I know it, I was surprised. Because I did not know a lot of garbage throws out.
When I read this book I think that we have to recycle. If recycle which we need not things, the garbage will decrease. It is good for earth.

I have a lot of Disney characters stuffed animals. I watched Lilo and Stitch first time. This movie is different from other Disney movies. This movie tells us for several important things. When I saw this movie, I was much moved. I think this movies main theme is love and family. I recommend this movie very much.

I introduce Lilo and Stitch’s family relationship. This movies main character is Lilo and Stitch. Lilo is a girl. She is five years old. She has a sister named Nani. Their parents died, so Lilo lives alone with her sister Nani. They are good friends, but sometimes they quarrel over trifles. They live Kauai Island in Hawaii. This story’s place is Hawaii. Hawaii has a lot of beautiful view. This movie’s view is beautiful. Hawaii has a language. For example, “hula” and “ohana”. “Fula” means hula dance. It is slowly dance. “Ohana” means family. Hawaii’s people think that they are family. I like this opinion.

I introduce this movies main character Stitch. He is a man. He is a pet for Lilo. Sitich knew about only destroy objects, because he is alien. He was very rough. He was so bad boy. But in the course of contact with Lilo, he has a good heart gradually. He becomes good friends with Lilo. Lilo received him for tenderly as “ohana”. Lilo said that, “Ohana” is always together. Lilo is his godfather.
He is an alien, because he is little strange. He did not like water. He cannot swim, but while he watched Lilo played surfing he become he can put up with water. He always pretend is a dog. His friend’s “Angel” is alien too. She can sing. Her looks is cute. Her body’s color is pink. They are very smart and powerful.

This movie’s dance is “hula”. It is Hawaiian dance. It looks so slowly. “Hula” means dance. It is Hawaii’s traditional dance. It looks like finger language. Fula’s movement has some means. When they dance “fula”, they wear muumuu. Muumuu is Hawaiian women’s full dress. It has a lot of kind. They put on the lei at their neck. Lei are garland. Sometimes they put on the flower at their head. I thought “fula” is easy dance, but it is surprisingly difficult and hard. I want to try this.

Lilo likes surfing. She plays it once in a while. Hawaii has a lot of surfing player, because Hawaii’s sea is so beautiful and has good wave. I think that surfing is very difficult sports, but I want to carnage it if I go to the Hawaii.
