Language is my friend.

I started to study English in my junior high school student. Till I was elementary school student I didn't study English, but I studied Japanese what is my vernacular. I studied Japanese grammar and kanzi and reading. It's very important, because Japanese is used by all people who lived in Japan. We had to study Japanese, but English is not. My elementary school sometimes took place like English class. My school invited English teacher, and spoke with us. The time was very good for me.

When I entered junior high school, English class started. The class was very interesting, because the class teacher were ALT and Japanese teacher. Although I had worry about this class, because the class sometimes has vocabulary tests. We had to remember a lot of vocabularies. I hate this, but when I remember vocabularies I felt happy. In this class, I most favorite thing was singing songs. We sung beetles songs. I like to sing, so I liked this thing. This class had speaking. I spoke another students used text written in English. Now I think it was important to speak English, because I can't speak English well.

Then I graduated from this school, and I entered high school. I didn't study anything, because before enter this school I had studied very hard. I was tired to study anything. Also, I was belong to volleyball club, I didn't afford to study anything, but I became third grade, I decided to study hard, because I wanted to go college. It was very hard for me to study. But I liked to study English, especially, to remember English words I liked. The school has a test once a week. I tried to remember perfectly, but I couldn't well. I like to remember words, because when I remember words, I can read sentences written in English.

Fortunately I could enter KGU. The many class began, and I noticed that my English speaking ability is poor. I was very shocked, because when I talked to exchange students, I couldn't understand what they say. I became second grader, I like speaking class, because the class teacher is fun. I have to prepare for this class. I have to make some questions by class start, and I talk to another students, I make sentences about this. Through this class I know about native English, and many English words.

I think it’s important to talk to native English speaker for establishment of my speaking ability and actually, I have to go abroad if I want to speak more than now. And it’s essential to understand foreign cultures, because there are many people live around the world. If you think it is natural, but another people it is not natural. We should understand other countries.　That is all, thank you.
