Last Wednesday
I took a examination of listening and speaking last Wednesday. This test was little difficult, so I worried about this score. Then, I went to Kurea with my friend, Miku. We were going to buy presents. We did window-shopping, and I found a good present! I was glad to buy it. I lost moneys this day, so I have to work a part time job hard. It comes to Christmas as soon. I am looking forward to coming a day. But I must work a job on Christmas Eve, so I was sad. Really, I want to hold a Christmas party and watch Music Station Special.

Did you watch FIFA World Cup this year? Of course, I watched it everyday. I boosted JAPAN team.
First of all, Japan matched Cameroon and Japan won. Keisuke Honda shot at goal. Japan recorded their first world cup win on foreign soil. When I watched it, I was so excited.
Secondly, Japan matched Holland. Holland is powerful team and has a lot of good players. Sneijder shot on goal and Holland won. Japan lost, but I thought that the game was a good game.
Thirdly, Japan matched Denmark in June 24th. The game was important game. If Japan won or draw, Japan advenced to the final leagues. The game started on 3:30 a.m., so I was got up early. Keisuke Honda, Yasuhito Endo and Shinji Okazaki shot on goal this game. And Japan won!!! Japan made history by reaching the Round of 16 for the first time on foreign soil, eliminating Denmark in the process with a 3-1 win in Rustenburg. I was so happy, and that is great! I should they were beyond all great praise.
Finally, the final leagues started. Japan matched Paraguay in June 29th. A lot of Japanese watched the game, and my family watched it. Japan lost after all. Paraguay squeezed through to the quarter-finals of the FIFA World Cup for the first time in their history as Yuichi Komano's penalty miss sent Japan crashing out of the tournament. I was so sad, but Japan was so good.

Eating Habit of American
BY
Maya Nishimura
A SHORT PAPER
IN PARTIAL FULEILLMENT OF
THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE COURSE OF
SUMMER, STUDY ABROAD PROGRAM (US)
Kumamoto Gakuen University, Faculty of Foreign Languages
Department of English
1. Introduction
I’m interested in American foods. But I know hamburger in American foods only, so I wanted to know various American foods. Then, the eating habit of America is different from that of Japan. Japanese regularly eat rice and vegetables. We have calorie in our mind. Japanese are slender in the world. But there are many fat people in America. America is called “Obesity large country”. I had expected American would often eat beef and hamburger before I visited Minnesota. In fact, there are some differences. I was surprised at foods and the eating habit of American.
2. Foods in Minnesota
2.1 Breakfast
American eat light meal at breakfast. For example, cereal, fruit, yoghurt, milk and coffee. I cooked breakfast by myself in Minnesota, and I often ate cereal and bread for breakfast. The American cereal is not sweet, so I was surprised. I ate miso soup and rice once in a while. My host mother takes a shower, and work in early morning. She didn’t have enough time. She drank a cup of tea every morning. When I couldn’t eat breakfast, I brought fruits and snack to school.
2.2 Lunch
American go to fast food restaurants at lunch or cook lunch shortly. Hamburger and Pizza are popular lunch. My host mother often cooked a grilled cheese sandwich and tomato soup. A basic sandwich is generally with one or more slices of any kind of cheese on any sort of bread. It is easy food, but so delicious. I liked it very much.
I ate out sometimes on weekend. I went to Mac Donald’s with my host mother. The American Mac Donald’s appearance is same Japanese one. But drink is self service. It was very convenient. This paper cup is a big size. I had expected American burger would be so big before I visited Minnesota. But the American burger size is same as Japanese one. We choose a hamburger size, and the inside of ingredient. I ate a cheese burger. I felt that this burger is better than Japanese one.
2.3 Dinner
American eat a hearty dinner. American often eat chickens and beefs for dinner. My host mother worked every day, so she was tired in the evening. Therefore we often ate out. I went to Mexican and Greek food restaurants. There are many other country food restaurants in Minnesota.
When we had enough time, we cooked dinner at home. My host mother cooked pork steak, barbecue and salad and so on. She is good at cooking, and she cooked shortly. I helped my host mother to cook a dinner. Then, I often had a dinner with Yui and Kim. Kim and Veronica are close friends, and had a dinner on every Monday. Yui and I cooked curry rice and chicken and egg bowl for our host mother. I bought kitchen staffs in Japanese grocery store. This store is useful for Japanese. We bought mirin, soy sauce and dashi. I had never cooked a chicken and egg bowl. But we succeeded in cooking it. They said “It was delicious! Thank you for cooking for us.” So, I was glad.
Next, American eat a dessert after dinner. I ate ice creams almost every day. I particularly like strawberry ice cream. There are many ice cream shops in Minnesota. Dairy Queen is a famous ice cream shop. I went there three times. I always ate strawberry cheese cake ice cream.
3. Other Foods in Minnesota
3.1 Thanksgiving Day
My host mother held a party for us. Yui’s host family and Hiromi’s host family came to my house. The party is “Thanksgiving party”. Thanksgiving Day is a harvest festival celebrated primarily in the United States and Canada Generally, it celebrated on the fourth Thursday in November. But they held thanksgiving party early for us, and prepared the party the day before. Veronica, Kim and Susan cooked, and I looked after children. Main dish is a turkey. Turkey is big! I seldom eat turkey, so I was looking forward to eating it. The table was spread with dishes. For example, mashed potatoes, a casserole, and fruits. I was surprised that they ate turkeys with a cranberry sauce. I had eaten too much. After that, a apple pie and a pumpkin pie served for dessert. I had a good time this day.
3.2 Difference in Japanese foods
I ate Japanese foods in Minnesota. First of all, I went to a starbucks coffee with my host mother. I ordered a green tea. I took a sip of green tea, and I said “This is not green tea!”. The American green tea was different from Japanese one. A Japanese green tea is bitter. But the American green tea is sweet so American doesn’t like bitter.
Then, I went to BENIHANA. This restaurant was sushi bar and a famous restaurant in Minnesota. American is interested in Japanese foods, and they like sushi. But Japanese foods is rich in America. They seldom eat it. I ate sushi, agedashi-tofu and tempura. I was surprised that there is agedashi-tofu in this restaurant.
4. Conclusion
I knew much about the eating habit of American. American eat light meal for breakfast and lunch. They have a splendid dinner, and always eat a dessert after dinner. They eat too much, but they are careful about health. Actually, they often exercise. American often eat out. There are many fast food restaurants in Minnesota, and they often go there. My host mother took me to various restaurants. American foods are very delicious. I liked American foods better after I visited the U.S. I ate too much every day, so I got a weight. I experienced American foods for a month. I want to know more various American foods in the future.

TRAPPED
I read a book whose the title is "TRAPPED".
After Tom finished basket ball practice, he really needed to go to the bathroom. The school was almost deserted.
"BAHG!"
A loud noise echoed from somewhere out side the bathroom. He was surprised, so He shut into the bath room. He yanked harder, but not a sound came back.
No ship to signal
A long time passed and still no heard Tom. Then he remenberes the phone. But his celephone's battery couldn't be flat already. He looked up to see his worried face in the mirror, and he almost laughed.
Bathroom Blues
A row of windows ran along the top wall bwhind the cubicles. Tom gulped when he saw how dark it was geeting outside. Suddebly, he heard music somewhere nearby. He ran into cubicle, clambered up on to the closed toilet seat.
BANG! BANG! BANG! But still no one heard.
SOS
Tom flicked the switch on and off three times, more slowly. He lost count after his tenth SOS. Then, he could hear footsteps running towards the door. A key turned in the lock, and door flew open. Harvey smiled at Tom.
"Just as well we saw your SOS. You could have been trapped in here all night, instead of just a couple of hours".
He was surprised, so he felt like all night. At least he wasn't trapped any more.
