The first article I post in this year

Good morning! Then, I wish you a Happy New Year! If there are the people who read the articles of my blog day after day last year, I think that I would like them to go on doing it. Though I started to write my blog harder from last April, I was not able to do it because I did not think of a lot of ideas that I should introduce to you. I was not also good at doing my homework such as essays. So, it was very hard for me to write something. It is strange for me to be able to keep on doing it because the feeling does not change now. Anyway, I will continue to improve my blog, so I would like you to watch it for a long time. Also, I have three goals in this year except my blog. Therefore, I am going to show them to you.

First, I am going to increase the opportunity of driving a car. I got a driver's license last February. However, I do not often drive. It is because I would not like to do it. Generally speaking, a lot of people who got the license want to go out to drive as soon as they can. It is because they are able to arrive at their destinations earlier than walk or have a ride on my bicycle. And it is important for the people who have the license to be able to make use of cars because they can carry a lot of goods when they go shopping. In spite of some advantages, there is a reason why I do not drive. It is because I am afraid of my causing traffic accidents. Of course, I took all courses in a driving school, passed the test, and received the driver's permit. Though they are true, I do not have the confidence that I can drive a car safely. I think that I have to drive a car again and again in order to improve my ability to do it. So, I would like to use my car without thinking a lot of things.

Second, I am going to go outside to exercise a lot. Though I do not have enough time to do it, I have to move. It is because I know that I have put on weight little by little. I have the time to ride on my bicycle for going to school, but it is not enough. I think that I have to play soccer or baseball on weekends in order to increase the time to exercise.

Third, I am going to study harder to brush up my ability to use English. Of course, I have a lot of things that I have to do in order to finish my homework to get credits. However, I entered this university to get a lot of knowledge and to know how to use them. So, I am going to study more and more and get a better grade on TOEIC.

I think that it is very important for me to fix goals in the beginning of a new year, so I will achieve these goals. (531 words / 11232 words)

They are in Japan now!

I think that the best team in the world is Manchester United. They are often called "ManU" or "The Red Devils" in the world. They have a lot of great techniques and make use of it very well. They have got a lot of titles, and they also got the title of UEFA Champions League in 2008. They are the very strongest team in the world. In this team, of course, there are a lot of famous players. For example, they are Wayne Mark Rooney, Ryan Joseph Giggs, Dimitar Ivanov Berbatov, and so on. Their names are known to a lot of funs. Especially, I think that most of the people who like soccer know a man. His name is Cristiano Ronaldo dos Santos Aveiro. Now, he is one of the most famous players in the world. Though I have a lot of things that I would like to tell you, I am going to write them on the other article. (161 words / 8578 words)

Unstoppable!!

I think that one of the most notable plays in watching a lot of soccer games is dribbling. When I was a pupil, I belonged to a soccer club. However, I did not understand how I played it well, so I had thought about only two things. One was how to score a lot. When I had played it at that time, I had thought that I wanted to do it and help my team. The other was how to dribble well. Of course, to do it helps a lot of soccer players to score. However, a few players can surprise opponents and a lot of fans by doing it.
Before I was born, a famous player had surprised a lot of soccer fans in the world. He is Maradona. He was one of the greatest players in the world, but he does not play soccer now, so I do not understand how great he was. Today, a young player makes me and a lot of soccer fans very excited. He is Messi. As long as I know, he and Maradona are similar very much. Though I explained him to you before on this blog, I would like you to watch this movie. (203 words / 7821 words)

The close contest for our League

Today, the rest of the 33rd games in J League were played. Though a lot of teams had played very well to be the winner in this league, the teams that may be able to do it were decided because of the results of today's games. They are 3 teams. First, the team that gets 60 winning points is Kashima Antlers. Kashima Antlers got the 2007 J League title last year, and they are also on the 1st place now. This team has a lot of players who have great techniques and know how to win a game. Second, the team that gets 58 winning points is Nagoya Grampus. Nagoya Grampus was on the 11th place last year, but they are on the 2nd place now. Third, the team that gets 57 winning points is Kawasaki Frontale. Kawasaki Frontale was on the 5th place last year, but they are on the 3rd place now. I would like Nagoya Grampus to get the 2008 J League title, but Kashima Antlers has the advantage. Anyway, I am looking forward to watching the last games. (182 words / 7618 words)

I was disappointed

Today, I watched a soccer game on TV. It was the game between Gamba Osaka and Kawasaki Frontale in J League. To tell the truth, some players were not able to take part in this game because they had been hurt. Especially, Yasuhito Endo and Takahiro Futagawa are very important players of all players of Gamba Osaka. So, I thought that it was very difficult for Gamba to win against Frontale. Endo and Futagawa are what we call "passer". Gamba is a team that makes up a game by passing a ball with care. When they can not take part in games, Gamba always puts up bad fights. Regrettably, what I had thought became a reality. Gamba lost the game by no goal to four. Kawasaki Frontale is one of the best teams in J League, but Gamba did not play well. So, I think that I would like all players of Gamba to fight harder. (156 words / 7080 words)

I'm looking forward to FINAL

After 3 days, the most important game for me is going to start in Australia. It is the game between Gamba Osaka and Adelaide United as AFC Champions League 2008 Final. The final is made up of 1st leg and 2nd leg. 1st leg finished last Wednesday in Osaka which has the stadium of Gamba Osaka. Gamba Osaka won the game by 3 goals to 0. In this league, the number of the goals that a team gets in the opponent's stadium is very important because a team that gets more goals there will come off the winner when the scores of two games are added! So, Gamba is advantageous because he won in 1st leg without making Adelaide United get any goals. Though Adelaide is the team that has a tight defense and often wins in a home game, I believe that Gamba Osaka will win this game and become the champion! (153 words / 5809 words)

Big game!

As you know, I am very interested in soccer games. Especially, I am always excited when I think of J League. Though I think that the best team in J League is Gamba Osaka, there are good teams in this league. Urawa Red Diamonds is one of them and often said "Reds" by a lot of supporters. Reds has some famous players in Japan. For example, they are Naohiro Takahara, Yuki Abe, and so on. So, the ability that they have is the best of all teams in Japan. However, they have put up a bad fight in J League and have number five ranking there today. (107 words / 5171 words)

Good song!

I like this song very much because this is the song that was used in my favorite TV program. That is "How do you like Wednesday". Originally, this program was only broadcast in Hokkaido Prefecture. However, this program became a very famous program in this prefecture, and the reputation spread to all parts of the country. This program is sold as DVDs now. And this program is loved by a lot of people in Japan. I think that this program is different from the other TV programs in being made by a few members. They are Takayuki Suzui, Tadahisa Fujimura, Masamichi Ureshino, and Yo Oizumi. Especially, Yo Oizumi has appeared on some video dramas, so you may know him well. He is so funny and his behavior or what he says always makes a lot of people laugh. I think that he will appear on TV more and more. Anyway, I would like you to listen to this song!

My important experience

When I was a pupil or a junior high school student, I often went out. For example, I had often gone camping in some places until I was a pupil. I remember a lot of experience that I got at that time well. Especially, I was happy when I helped to put up my family's tent by ourselves or when we made our dinner together.

However, we have not gone camping for several years. My younger sister is busy studying in high school. And my father is also busy finishing his jobs. In addition, my mother suffers from backache, so we are not able to go out remotely.

I seldom go shopping. And I seldom go out in order to exercise in a park. So, I am a little overweight. Certainly, I know that I have to exercise to keep my health good or make my mind fresh. So, I think that I would like to go camping in some places again. (162 words / 2786 words)

Good conduct is ...

When I was a high school student, I was often said that I have to greet the people who I see by the teachers in my high school. Originally, I had the custom of greeting others. However, I learned that to do it helps me to think about what I am able to act when I see our situations. For example, I see a lot of trash on the road or in the park. When I notice them, I often pick up them of my own accord. In my case, I had not had the feeling that I had to pick up litter until I entered my high school. I had heard that my high school was the strictest about school rules in Kumamoto Prefecture before I decided which high school I should enter. To tell the truth, I thought that it was not hard for me to obey the rules when I heard the fact. However, I noticed that I had a lot of things that I had to improve in order to live in this society after I graduated from my high school. Though the rules of my high school were strict, they made me more thoughtful. If I had entered another school, I could not have known the importance of greeting others. When my younger sister thought about the high school that she would like to enter, she did not think of my high school because she had seen the life in my high school for 3 years. I think that 3 years which I spent in my high school helps me to live every day. (269 words / 2167 words)

I'm sleepy...

When I study at the classes in KGU or I am at home, I often feel very sleepy. Though I often sit up late at night lately, I have a lot of things that I would like to do, so I have to do it. I have to do my homework and help my family to do a lot of housework. Especially, as my mother is in bad condition, I think that I have to help her more and more. There are two things that I do in order to help her.

One is to launder the clothes of my family. To tell the truth, I had never washed them for myself until a month ago. However, I am able to not only wash them but also dry them now.

The other is to wash the dishes. I had only washed the dishes of mine. However, I wash all of them once a week now.

I think that it is very important for me to learn how to do housework. So, I would like to learn how to do a lot of housework and prepare the way for living by myself. (191 words / 925 words)
