My essay for Year book
This is my essay for Year book.
I really enjoy my American Life.
I learned many things for this short period. My home stay was really fruitful, because I had many chances to experience new things.
First, I experienced American theatre. My host family is very involved in theatre. I had many chances to go to theatre to watch the same play. I went there four times and I met many generations of people. And one day, I was taught a joke by a woman at the information desk.
"Why does 6 fears 7? Because 7 8 9(7 Ate9)."
It's hard for me to understand American Jokes, but it's easy to understand!!
So I was very glad to be able to understand the joke at the first time. So I've never forgot this joke.
Next I learned some new funny words. My most favorite word is "Oopsie." This word is often said by a new friend I made here. I learned new words more and more, I could enjoy speaking English. Because people told me why it's funny. Coming to America, and everything is new, everything is exciting, everything is fun.
Together they may be tiny things, but every experience is big for me. I want to come back here again. Especially to Steinbach home. Thank you so much.

Restaurant-Review ☆CIB
I and my friends, Mari and Hirami went to eat the dinner in CIB.
CIB lies in Kumamoto Main street.
CIB is very cheap now, because they give us to chance to eat full course of French.
It is only 1800 yen to eat that course.
We enjoyed eating dinner, the orchestra started to perform their nice music in front of our table.
It's a jazz. Piano and Chinese instrumental and violin were played.
CIB gives us a healthy menu that it's mainly ingredient is vegetable.
Meet, salad, spaghetti, dessert. They give us 8 kinds of dishes.
In the 8 dish, Gouya which is Okinawa prefecture product as a healthy vegetable. It's very
healthy, but it taste very very bitter.
But It is good for health.
We don't like Gouya but we eat it for the health. We seldom have chance to eat it.
And after the main dish, we wait for eating desserts time.
We really expected this time!!!
CIB gives us 3kinds of sweets.
They are ice cream that tastes strawberry and cheese cake with raspberry sauce ,and Tira mi su.
Of course they are very delicious.
I want to go there again.

Japanese 'Bushi' couldn't go up the wall.
This is the measure any enemy couldn't step in the castle.
It's the wisdom of the predecessors.
Hot springs, there are. Kumamoto is also famous for hot springs.
The water quality is a pulp.

Essay3☆my home town
I'll introduce my home town, Yamaga city. I've lived in there since I was born. Yamaga city has many original features.One of them is a big festival. We have a popular festival which called ‘Yamaga Tourou Festival’. Women put their heads on lantern. They wear ‘Yukata’ likes ‘Kimono’. Yukata is one of the Japanese traditional wears. It makes for spending cool during hot summer. And they dance to the music ‘Yoheho-bushi’. 1000 women gather some lines. They walked dancing around the main street in Yamaga city.
The lantern looks very heavy, but in fact, it is very light!! Because it made only by paper. Craftsman formed it carefully. It is a paper, so it is very delicate. It need to make a professional technic, original Tourou craftsman are 5 people now.
I’ve taken part in that festival as a dancer of 1000 women. It is very wonderful experience. Seen from a dancing line is the best position to watch the dance visionary. I was moved very much. I think spectator feel us same feelings too.
Add new information the last day since women dancing around the street, we can watch the fireworks display. It is one of the biggest fireworks display in Kumamoto. Numbers of 4000 fireworks is shot up the dark sky. It got us to feel the summer season coming.
Yamaga is very old city, but there are some attractive traditional features. There are some natural treasures, full of nature, hot springs. People who needs relax time may come to this city. I like and want a lot of people to come this city. If you have interested in my hometown Yamaga, please come to this city!!

ESSAY2☆Campus LIfe
I go to campus by bus. It takes 2 hours from my house. I live in Yamaga city, my school lies Kumamoto city, it is so far to go to school. I must get up early. I usually get up at 6:00. I already finished my breakfast at 6:40.I leave my house and get on the usual bus on 7:09. I go listening to my favorite music or falling asleep on the way. (*′д｀*)zzZ
I enjoy my listening, it is special time for me because it gives me a temporary relax time. At empty class, I and my friends usually chat or eat some delicious food or watching the movie at library. Last Thursday, I watched 'Pocahotas2' with my friends, Megumi, Mari. At KGU, it is very important how to spend free time or empty class. Because it is so long to spend only one for 90 minutes. I enjoy talking with my friends, I like it, but I sometimes must do my homework. School is very suitable place to study something. After school I sometimes go shopping, Karaoke or eating dinner. I like it!! Now I am second grade, we have to more and more homework. I must do finished homework, it is a bit hard. But I must study hard to go to U.S.!!!!

Introduction
Hello. My name is Makiko Hayakawa. I'm a student at Kumamoto Gakuen University. I'm majoring in Britain and America.
I have lived in Yamaga since I was born. Yamaga city is famous for hot springs and "Yamaga garden lantern festival". Womem put the garden lantern made by paper on their head and dance to the music. Almost women who live in Yamaga can dense some music phrase. We often hear this phrase "Yoheho" when the festival is head.
Next I'm interested in cooking. I'm very good at making sweets but I'm not good at cooking dishes. During spring vacation, I'll try to make some dishes which need not much time, and what's more, is like a healthy food which doesn't have to use much oil. I want my grandmother to teach me how to cook Japanese cuisine.
I love her dishes. The best dish is "Nikujyaga". My aim is my grandmother's cooking.
