I read "Christmas In Prague". This story is touching.

In 1957, one woman and her baby tried to over the border between Czechoslovakia and Austria. But she failed and killed by the guard.

In 1995, England, Jan lives with Carol and Josef. Carol is Jan's wife and Josef is Jan's father. Carol received letter. It was from Oxford Orchestra. They need harpist. So Carol decided to join concert in Prague December 24th.

Carol joined rehearsal. After that she went shopping to buy some present for Jan and Josef. When she went street, she saw unbelievable person. The person was Jan. But it was impossible. Jan was still in England. But Carol called his name and across the street. Then accident occurred. Carol hit the bus.

Essay6 (2028 Self Introduction)

Hi. I’m Takashi. My life is wonderful. Now, I am traveling around the world because of my job. I’m working a music magazine publishing company. I’m an interviewer. Mostly I interview foreigner. Because I like foreign music and I studied English over 25 years.

This job is amazing. Because this job makes my dream come true. I met many musicians whom I wanted to meet them and I respect them. Their stories are interesting. And I can use my English ability on interview. Also I can get along with musicians and join their party or something. Bad points of this job are irregularly. I travel around the world, so I have to stand my jet lag. Many musicians are late interview. So I have to wait until they come. But I don’t care about this.

On holiday, I do my hobbies. One of my hobbies is playing guitar. So I practice guitar and sometime make own band and play. Also I go live show and get crazy. So my life is surrounded by music. Another hobby is watching movie. Especially I like SF movies. It is same, when I was kids.

So now I’m almost forty. I’m becoming like my father. What is called, I’m becoming fat man. I have to work out. But I’m busy. I can’t make my time to work out. I live in Tokyo alone. I often buy food. I think it is one reason. Anyway I’m fine and my music life is still going on until I die. (253 words/8840 words)

Yesterday...

Yesterday I took TOEFL test for exchange student program. I think listening section was more difficult than TOEIC. But on the whole, I could do better than TOEIC test.

After that I went to "Success Academy" to apply next TOEFL test with my friends. And came back KGU and watched Japanese Speech Contest. Many exchange students participated this competition. Winner was Kim Danny!!! Congratulation Danny!!! He spoke about "Dialect". It was so interesting story and he spoke japanese very well.

Next, I went to "Issi~'s house" and watched MGS4. It was amazing video game. And I went to dorm with friends and talked exchange student. I can't speak English, so I listened their talk.

Over 24:00, we said good bye to exchange student and got out dorm and backed "Issi~'s house" And I played EDA with Chusong. I'm not good at play video game, but this game was easy. And fell a sleep...

Thank you Issi~. I had a good time.(160 words/8537 words)

RIZE live in Kumamoto

It was June 13th. After 5th period, I got out classroom quickly to go to Drum B9. Drum B9 is live house of Kumamoto. And I've never been before. Drum B9 was small and too close the stage.

Today's live was RIZE. RIZE is japanese band. Actually I don't like japanese band. I don't know why. RIZE members are three. Because guitar member withdrew. So Jessie(vocal) had to play guitar alone. But he played well. He played some heavy guitar riff. Other members were also good.

I didn't know much about RIZE music. But I know three songs "Pink Spider" "Kaminari" "Why I'm Me". When they played these songs, I got crazy and put my hands up and scream!!!

I was impressed by Jessie's words. He said about recently world affair and sang "Heiwa". He is interested in society, I think.

After live show, I could shake hands with Jessie!!!
I was lucky!!!(152 words/8377 words)
