I attended a ceremony celebrate Coming of Age Day. It was held in my local at January 10th. I woke up at 4:30 a.m. and went to beauty salon. I was set hair, made up and done dressing. I was tense because I have not met my local friends for a long time. Then I went to my local gymnasium with my friend. There were many my local friends. After the ceremony finished, I took many pictures with my friends. At 19:00 we started alumni association at hotel. I had very very very good time with my local friends. There were many people who I had not met for a long time so I was happy when I talked with them!! Everyone did not change!! They are good friends for me. Then we went out hotel and went to downtown to hold post-party party. In there we did karaoke and everyone warm up!! We finished karaoke at 4:00 a.m. and went home. I was very sleepy but I was very happy because I could meet with my local friends and share good time. I want to meet them again and talk more!! I will never forget today!!

Essay 2-03b: Language Learning Stories
English is important for us to communicate with foreigner and to get a job in the future. I think English will need for me from now on because there are many opportunities to talk with foreigner so I will continue study English. I will write more detail now. I major in English at university now, so I am learning English almost everyday. I have been learning English since I was an elementary school student. When I was an elementary school student, I learned alphabet, easy words, English songs and so on. Then I learned more, when I was a junior and high school student. At university, I am learning writing, speaking, listening and reading now. Then I study about many things which are related to English except regular English classes.
I have started to learn English, when I was forth grade of elementary school. I went to the YMCA and GEOS. Teachers taught us easy words, English songs and conversation by using easy textbooks, playing games and singing songs. It was very fun for me to learn English with them. And I studied a little difficult grammar at GEOS, too.
When I entered junior high school, in earnest I studied grammar, conversation, words, listening and idioms by using textbook and American songs. Then ALT class started. We communicated with ALT’s teacher in this class, so I could speak English. I practiced how to pronounce, too.
When I was a high school student, I studied English very hard. I studied with many difficult textbooks. There were many difficult words and idioms that I could not understand or memorize, but I wrote them again and again. I memorized words, idioms and grammar by writing many times. High school English was more difficult than I have expected. I took English class three or four times a day, when I was third grade, so I cold study many English words, idioms and grammar. I studied English certificate examination, too. I asked ALT teacher to teach me about interviews during lunch time.
As I was a first grade at university, I studied writing, speaking, grammar, listening and reading by using both computers and textbooks. These learning ways were differ from before when I was a high school student. I learned German, too. I took German class because I thought German was easy to study. In German class, teacher taught us how to pronounce and then we read sentences and did dictation.
Now I am study writing, reading, speaking and listening. These classes are more difficult then a fist grade. In reading class, we use English newspapers and then we study how to read headlines. It is new because I have not read English newspapers until now and I was not interested in it!! In writing class, we use computers and write essays and book reviews. I can type English sentences faster than before. In speaking class, we do presentations, interviews and dictations.
Except these regular classes, I am studying TOEIC, English certificate examination and English sightseeing examination by myself. When there are many words or idioms that I can not understand, I examine with my dictionary then and write until I can memorize. Then when I watch DVDs and movies, I watch them with captions. I think watching DVDs and movies with captions is a good way to study English expressions.
I will continue study English from now on. Because there are many opportunities to communicate with foreigner. I also want to get a job related to English, for example, in the hotel or travel industry. So I need English. But after I graduate from university, I won’t take classes. However I will study English by reading English newspapers, watching DVDs and internet and I will find English conversation school and go there!!
In these ways, I had studied English or will continue study it. In the past, I studied from basic words, grammar and conversation to difficult English. Now I am learning specialty English. Then I think I want to study English conversation in the future!!

Essay 2-3a: Language Learning stories
I major in English at university now so I am learning English almost everyday. I have been learning English since I was an elementary school student. When I was an elementary school student, I learned alphabet, easy words, English songs and so on. Then I learned grammar, English conversation, words and idioms, when I was a junior and high school student. At university, I am learning writing, speaking, listening and reading now. Then I study about many things which are related to English except regular English classes. For example I study TOEIC, English daily conversation and examination of English. English is important for us to communicate with foreign people and to get a job in the future. I think English will need for us from now on because there are many opportunities to talk with foreign people so I will continue study English. I will write more detail from now.
I have started to learning English, when I was a forth grade of elementary school. I went to YMCA and GEOS to learn. Teachers taught us to easy words, English songs and conversation by using easy textbooks, playing games and singing songs. It was very fun for me to learn English with playing. Then I learned a little difficult grammar at GEOS, too. When I entered junior high school, I learned grammar, conversation, words, listening and idioms by using textbooks and American songs in earnest. And then ALT class started. We communicated with ALT teacher in this class so I could speak English. I practiced how to pronounce, too.
When I was a high school student, I studied English very hard. I learned with many difficult textbooks. There were many difficult words and idioms so I could not understand and memorize them but I wrote them again and again. I memorized words, idioms and grammar by writing many times. When entered high school, English was more difficult than I have expected. I took English class three or four times a day, when I was a third grade so I could know many English words, idioms and grammar. I studied examination of English, too. I asked ALT teacher to teach me about interviews during lunch time. And as I was a first grade at university, I studied writing, speaking, grammar, listening and reading by using computer and textbooks. These learning ways were differ from before. I learned German, too!!
Now I learn writing, reading, speaking and listening now. These classes are more difficult than first grade. In reading class, we use English newspapers and then we learn how to read headlines. It is new because I did not read English newspapers until now and interesting!! In writing class, we use computer and write essays and book reviews and so on. I can type English sentences early. In speaking class, we do presentation, interview and dictation.
Except these regular classes, I study TOEIC, examination of English and English sightseeing by myself. When there are many words or idioms, I can not understand. I examine then and write until I can memorize. Then when I watch DVDs and movies, I watch them with caption. I think watching them with caption is good way to study English conversation!!
I will continue study English from now on because there are many opportunities that we communicate with foreign people and I want to get a job is related to English. For example hotel or travel. So I need English!! But after graduate from university, I won’t take a class so there are no opportunities to learn English. However I will study English by reading English newspaper, watching internet and DVDs and going to English conversation school.
In these ways, I studied English or will continue study it. In the past, I learned from basic words, grammar and conversation to developed English. And now I learning specialty English. Then I think I want to study English conversation in the future!!
