Amusement ground

There is an amusement ground near my hometown. I live Omuta in Fukuoka. The amusement ground is Arao in Kumamoto but Omuta and Arao adjoin. So, I can go there easily. The amusement ground's name "Green land". I have gone there many times since I was child. I went with my family when I was child and I went with my friend on foot as a high school excursion. I can go there on foot and even by bus from Omuta station. I went there last year on club activities and then I went yesterday too!!

There are many attractions. At first I introduce rolling coaster. The popular roller coasters are "the Milky Way", "The dinosaur roller coaster" "NIO" and "Mouse Spin" . Milky Way is two kinds of the roller coaster. One is a standing coaster and Another is the sitting coaster. The dinosaur roller coaster's full length is 1,664m. This is length of the biggest in Japan. The roller coaster which can get a thrill most is NIO. I think that it is the scariest roller coaster. My favorite roller coaster is Mouse Spin. This coaster is not scary. While a vehicle spins around, turn sharply and accelerate and go down. It is like a roller coaster of coffee cup. The popular attraction is Ferris wheel besides a roller coaster. This is popular among couples. Because a bottom is with transparence, there is the Ferris wheel which scenery looks like from the step. In addition, there is the haunted house, too. The scariest haunted house is "horror tower". There was it at the high position in Greenland, and it was taken up on TV.

In addition, besides an attraction, various events are held in Greenland. The hero show is held frequently. "Kamen rider KIBA VS Kamen rider Den-o" is held now. This is popular among children.

There is a hotel beside Greenland and can stay and come to play. There is the ultra man rand that is popular among boys. There is a hot spring called Yayoinoyu and "passca world" of a big game arcade. I enter the hot spring and am relaxed and can play at a game arcade after having played in Greenland.


In Greenland, fireworks go up on the Golden Week and the last day of the year. The fireworks are very beautiful. Greenland is crowded with a family and couples then.
The person who still has not been to Greenland please try to go out to play once. I think that you can make a good memory.

I introduce my favorite singers and songs.
My favorite singer is Mika Nakashima. I like her voice. Her voice makes me relax. I listened her songs for the first time when I was a junior high school student. Until that time, I was not interested in music. However I came to like listening songs since I listened her song. I knew that songs could move our heart. Songs help me when I was happy, sad, irritated. It is good for us to listen to music. I like her all songs. Because I love her singing voice rather than her songs. I want to go her concert someday. I want to listen her live singing voice.

Furthermore, I like Ayumi Hamasaki, BoA , YUI, Hikaru Utada and Kumi Koda. Especially I listen to songs of Yuna Ito recently. I came to like her since she sung with Celine Dion. When I listened their song, I was enraptured by their singing voice. The song affected my heart and it is beautifully and powerfully. So, I listened her songs very well.
To look for great singers is my hobby recently, So I want to find great singers more.

University Life

I am 2nd grade student of KGU. I go to University by train from Fukuoka. It is very hard life for me to go by train. I have to get up earlier than other students who live in Kumamoto. But, it is my way I chose. I entered this University because I wanted to study English more. So, I study English hard. I began to read foreign books and listen to Western music since I entered the University. I think I am getting much better in English.



I like the English classes. The English classes is pleasant for me. Especially, I am getting listening comprehension. I think that listening English is more difficult than writing, speaking and reading English. So, I am getting to listen to English recently. But, I am not good at subjects except the English classes. Economics and human rights theory are difficult for me. I want to study only English, but I do my best and study them.



I have good friends and circle member. This is the best reason I can enjoy my university life. I think I want to go to University because I can meet them. If I did not belong to circle, I would be boring. Circle activity are on Wednesday and Friday after school. There are few numbers of people of the circle I belong to, so we get along well. Circle activities are playing together to cement a friendship. We play bowling, go to karaoke, Play billiard and sometimes study.



I sometimes want to go back home as soon as possible because I am tired and my house is very far from University, but I have time when I do not want to return to the house. The worst point of my University Life is that my home is very far from the University. I'm beginning to feel the stress of going by train. I cannot be in Kumamoto till late at night. I want time to play with my friends more. It is difficult to play with my friends after school because I do not have much time. I have to get on train. If I missed the last train, I could not go back home.



I have part time job on Saturday and Sunday. So, I cannot go to Kumamoto to play with my friends. I have been to Kumamoto city area only five times. I want to go shopping there and know well Kumamoto city and shops. I want to know what shops there are. I have to work to go shopping there. I need much money to spend University life. I usually buy bread at bakery at lunch time. And I spend much money to join the circle activity. That is way I have to work more.



I'm leading a happy University life.

After school, I came back to Omuta in a hurry and went to Internet Cafe for the first time with my friends☆

Omuta is very far from University I have gone. Few people go to university by train from Omuta. I got to know with the person recently who went to school by train in the same way as me. The person is the person who played today. There is the common point-the same hometown-I made friends very much. Surely I think it to be rare at such an opportunity.

The Internet cafe was very comfortable. There is equipped with facilities and is very clean. I thought that I wanted to come again at the moment when I entered there. At first, we did billiards. Billiards are very difficult games. It was not possible even to pocket a ball, and more it was difficult for me to use the cue well. I need to practice more!! I want to challenge again. I think Billiards are cool play...☆☆☆ Next, We sang a song. I forgot to catch cold and I made noise very much and enjoyed. I like to sing, I want to go again soon. Finally I played bowling. I have not play bowling. Thus I looked them who played. Today was very happy day. I was able to know them well in a day. I want to play with them again.

BR 1-02: The Story of Castle

This story show that why people need castles and why castle go out fashion.

Only 1000 years ago, real lords and ladies lived in castle. The reason why the first castle was built was the first castle was built is to protects knights of the lord who fight against the enemy who came from the north country. The first castle have hall where everyone could eat, a chapel to pray for victory and stables for the horses the knights get on. The castle surrounded by a high fence. A bridge led up the hill to a wooden tower where the knights could live. Every lord wanted one. But the lords realized wooden castles had drawbacks. The plain fact was wood was no good. Wood rots so quickly and burns too easily. Then, lords thought that we should build a castle made of stone. Building a castle could take many years. There were always lords who wanted to try something different. Whatever they built, lords built big. Their castles looked magnificent. But,visitors soon found out, living one was not so great. In fact, it was dark, noisy, could and often smelly. Most windows were tiny, to keep out attackers. Lords built stronger gatehouses to protect a castle's main entrance. Heavy iron gates rattled down to block off either end of the gatehouse. Holes were left in the gatehouse roof, for soldiers to throw stones and arrows through. One the top of their castles, lords had battlements. Lords built a long wooden cabin along one side. This had gaps in the floor for soldiers to throw down boiling hot rocks. So, everyone wanted one and most castles had a wooden extension of some kind. Then, they built them again in stone. The next castles to be built had walls within walls. Life was twice as hard for any attackers trying to break in. These latest castles were better inside as well. The extra walls had lots of towers, all with rooms, so visitors could stay. Then there were the lord's right-hand men, his stewards. They took charge of cook, clerks, carpenters, cleaners, ushers, gardeners and grooms. And there were blacksmiths to make weapons, carpenters to build and fix furniture, and huntsmen to catch food. Ever so often, one lord would take a liking to another lord's castle and its land and try to take them by force. So, secret passages were often built into castle and could also use the passage to send lord's knights on a surprise attack. the cannon was invented. It was soon strong enough to blast holes in the biggest castle. Then lords stopped fighting each other and banded together to fight other countries. Finally, lords and ladies decided they did not want to live in cold, dark, noisy castles. They wanted grand homes instead. So, they stopped building castles altogether. Castles had their stones stolen for new buildings, or were simply left to collapse. Hundreds of years went by until today, very few castle are lived in at all. Some have completely disappeared.

By the way, it is the Golden Week from the day after tomorrow. I am going to work all day for four days. I am very busy with my job during Golden week. Many people go home to see one's parents. So, there are many people go to bring a box of cake as a souvenir of a local area. A box of cake is sold very much for the Golden Week. I will be busy.
If I had free day during Golden week, I would go on a trip. I want to go to Kagoshima and Okinawa because I have never been to there. I think it is possible to go to Kagoshima and Nagasaki in a day without spending money too much. I have been to Nagasaki when I was junior a high school student on school trip. We went to Nagasaki to study about war. I remember that I thought "how terrible the atom bomb is". This experience was good for us. It is important experience. In addition, we went to the Huis Ten Bosch. I remember there are many beautiful buildings and flowers. The cheese cakes sold at Huis Ten Bosch are very good taste. I came to eat cheese cakes since then. I want to go there again to see buildings, flower and fire works and eat cheese cakes.

I started to work when I was a high school student of third year in spring vacation. I needed much money for entrance into a school of higher grade. So, I start to work. At first, I was trouble with searching jobs. I didn't know which job I should get. I had a lot of wishes about job. For example, a high salary and the workplace which is near from a house and so on. After all, I thought I wanted to work among my favorite things. I liked sweets very much. So, I researched cake shops. Then I knew there was a cake shop near my house. So, I decided to work at the cake shop. The job was hard for me. I made repeated mistakes. I troubled many people and I was in very low spirits. I thought many times that I wanted to retired. But, I could not because many people helped me every times I made some mistake.
So, I thank them very much now. I think I am happy to be able to work at the shop.
