My favorite slogan

My slogan in this year is to take licenses more. Now, I passed secretary test. I will take TOEIC test in December. I hope I will be able to take higher score than before one. It is not good for reason to get high score but I will get some money If I will get certain score. I am excited to think the time when I get good score. Now, I am thinking I will take English test or not. I have taken this level's test twice, but I remember I thought it I cannot pass this level even if I continue to take a test until I die. I think recently, I took the test 4 or 5 years ago! I have improved my English skill much than me of 4 or 5 years before. I have no time to study for English test now, but I will try to study and take a test in January.

My favorite place

My favorite place is my home, not my apartment. I have noticed that my home is cozy place for me after all. I realized it after I started living alone. In my home, I can stand if I am alone in house, but I cannot stand if I am alone in my apartment. It is stressful for me. I like to live in house which someone live with me. I am not good at cleaning up. My room is always messy. I cannot relax in my room. But if I buy furniture to clean thing I have no one to bring them to my apartment. It annoys me. It cost much ask company to carry them. I do not like it!!

My favorite high school memory

My favorite high school memory is school festival of last year. Because we were the 12th grade, we were leaders of younger grades. We had brother classes and in school festival, we performance with 10th grade brother class and 11th grade brother class. We discussed what we would do in the festival. At first, our plan was to do `swing girls`. But we could not do that. Musical instruments could not be borrowed. It needed to be borrowed about hundred of musical instruments. We were worried about what would do. Because other classes had already started practicing. At last, we decided to performance Eisa. We practiced hard and hard. We taught 10th graders and 11th graders. Sometime, we were scolded to raise voice. The day of school festival, we enjoyed dancing Eisa and were praised from teachers and parents. It was great for last school festival.

Claire

I went to Claire with friends. At first, we ate schooner parfait. We thought it would made us feeling bad, but it was good for four people to eat. I was satisfaid with eating this big size parfait. After that, we enjoyed shopping in the Claire. Though I found some cute clothes I decided to endure buying those. Bwcause I had found very very cuth clothes and it costs much. I have no money to buy clothes! Then, we saw 'Knight and Day'. It was the exciting movie. A woman who was acted by Cameron was ordinaly person at first. But she became wild after riding on certain airplane. I thought I like the man who was acted by Tom. We ate Spanish meal after that. It was buffet. We ate many meal and desert. We could stay there as long as we can. I liked the restaurant! We enjoyed eating and chatting so much.

My favorite sport to watch

I like any kind of sports to watch, only watch. But, I like to watch high school baseball tournaments the best. It is called 'Koushien', and teams which got 1st prize in each prefecture could take part in. It is different from pro baseball game not payed money to players. Players who don't think about money have pure hearts eagering to win the game. I like their serious eyes. After games, there is a TV show called 'Nettou koushien'. I like to watch the TV show too. If I watch the show I cannot help crying to see their tears. They broadcast one side team's private how hard they practice to win and how hard they want to win.

My favorite elementary school memory

For me, elementary school is many many years ago. So I cannot remember all. I liked to ride unicycle in afternoon break. At that time, I was absorbed in riding unicycle; I tried to improve my riding skill for unicycle. I could take my friend's hand and draw circle. I could ride around ground without stopping. My only worry at that time, I cannot start riding without support if I fall down from unicycle. I could not learn this skill until I graduated finally. I remembered I used to ride unicycle, I tried to ride it again one or two years ago. But, I could not even ride it. I was so so shocked. It is said getting old, I thought.
