A star shone brightly overhead to show everyone where he was.(p. 18)

Christmas is very exciting event for everyone. We enjoy Christmas day, for example, eating a feast, being gived presents and decorating. Christmas day is birthday of Jesus Christ. I went to Luther high school, so I learned about him. I participated Christmas worship. We sang some Christmas songs and watched drama of Jesus's birth. It was very interesting.  I also went carol singing. It was very good experience.

This book tells about Christmas all over the world. Each countries have each habits of Christmas, but every children enjoy Christmas day and Christmas day is filled with love and kind. Christmas is a special day for us.

Special Day

Hello! I start to write my blog. It is about my spring vacation. Almost of all days were boring,but 12th February was special day. That day was my birthday. I had an appointment with my friend Yuika on that day. I met her in the afternoon and go to CENTER RIVER to eat lunch. We enjoyed eating and talking. Just then,Kayo,Airi and Aki came downstairs with a birthday cake! I was very surprised,so they sang birthday song for me. I was given presents.

After we ate lunch, we took PURIKURA. My friends are cute ^^ After that,we went to TSUTAYA and SAINTMARK CAFE. We talked many things there,particularly about part-time job.

The funny time was in an instant. I had to go to part-time job that day,so we said good-bye each other.

I was really glad. I was also given birthday mail from many friends. That day is my most unforgettable day.

Letter to Host Family


I am Sakura. “Sakura” is a famous Japanese flower which blooms in Spring, but I was born in February. However, I like my name because my friends praise my name. I was born in Kumamoto and I have lived Kumamoto all my life. I live near Kumamoto Castle. 


I am a working student. I work at a store of packed lunch. I work hard there almost everyday. It is worth doing.


 I like Japanese comedy. I often go to comedy concerts. I did comic dialogue at the school festival stage when I was a third-year student in high school. It was a very good experience. I also like drawing pictures, but I am not good at it. I always draw Japanese comedians’ likenesses. It is fun for me. Talking with my friends makes me happy. I go to lunch or dinner and talk with my friends for relaxation. I go shopping or drive for the holiday. I want to buy many clothes, books and more, so I have to work harder. 


I have a low blood pressure, so I don’t like getting up early. It is painful for me to have the first period. I also don’t like people who have no common sense. There are many people that make noise in the lecture. I get irritated. I don’t want be kind of person. I seem to be a frank person. I think that I am honest. I have a sense of responsibility and I am positive. I like my character. 


I have some questions. First, I have so many likes and dislikes in food, so do I match the eating habits of the American? I don’t like tomato and cheese, so I can’t eat hamburgers. Second, are there obscure good spots? I want to go popular spots, of course, but I want know unknown good spots. Finally, do you want some Japanese souvenir?  Kumamon is very famous and a pretty mascot of Kumamoto, so I will take some Kumamon goods for you. You will be pleased. I am looking forward to seeing you.
