I have never thought about environment, when I took a trip.
Just enjoyed seeing land scape, shopping. However,
I'm interested in ecotourism.I want to go to tha places that
we can do whale- watching.I've never seen whale before.
I hear whale is decreasing recantly, so whale hunting is banned in Japan.
I know whale is precious mammal.I really wanna see it.
I found the home page that written about places we can do whale watching.
Human have destroyed environment.I think it is time to think about environment seriously.

Canada Day but...

I had a nice looong weekend on Canadaday.
I should  've been in here and celebrated Canadaday, but I took a trip to Los Angeles  with ESL students. We went to universal studio hollywood. Japan has also universal studio,but
hollywood was bigger and more interesting for me.We also went to Santamonica.There were shopping streets and a beautiful beach. I've never seen before the view, I really like there.
You should go!!Everything  in LA is awesome for me,so I took many many pictures.
If I have a chance, I would like to go to LA again.I thuink taking a trip to foreign countries
makes me happy and strong.

My plan

I have many things that I want to do after this semester.
First is taking a trip.I'm planning to go to Okinawa with my friends during summer vacation.We have to reseach good spots.I get so excited. Second, I want to give a present to my mother, because I couldn't celebrate mother's day.I'm thinking what my mother wants.Finally, I want to take an English test to check my level in Japan. I want to continue to study English hard. Someday, I'll go to foreign countries to work and study.That's my nice plaaan!!

Equality

In my country ,men and women are treated equally in many situations now.
Long time ago, there were many differences between women and men.
For example, women didn't have rights to vote.In addition to that,they had to do housework everyday.
It was thought that men was of high social standing.Women didn't be free as well as men.
However, many things changed.The law that women and men should be equal was enacted, so
women can work, and men can do house work.Both of them can vote, but
still now , men and women aren't treated equally according to the situation.
We should treat completely equally.

Girls and Boys

I'll tell you about the ways that boys and girs are treated in my home culture.
When I was a child, I didn't like playing with dolls such as Barbie dolls.
I always played outside.For example, playing soccer, climbing a mountain and so on.
However, my parents didn't say to me "you should play like girls."
I wore clothes of  various colors .My mother likes boyish styles, so I sometimes wore black or blue colors.
I think they wanted me to be free, but on languages, they told me "you shoud speak feminine languages, because if girls speak musculine languages, it is too disgraceful."
I think their teaching was good for me.

My best friend

I want to talk about my friend .She likes cat very much.
When she sees cats on the street, she always touch them.
One day, she met a injured cat near her house, she immediately
went to a veterinary hospital. The cat was hit by car. A veterinarian
said, if she didn't take the cat to the hospital, the cat couldn't  recover from death.
Since then, she's kept abondoned cats.  she's always looking for buyers.
I think her vitality is very awesome. I want to be like her.

Obsession

I think having an obsession is good for everyone, because when persons fail to
business or something,her or his obsession always helps them. If they don't have an obsession,
 it is hard for them to recover from a bad situation. As another reason, having an obsession makes
high motivation.If people have an obsession, they challenge more and more, so I think having an obsession
is an important key to success!!!
