Have you been to Lake Wauburg which is located 20 minutes away from UF campus?
It's amazing that the Lake is one of the UF recreation places.
On the lake, I enjoyed playing soccer, swimming and canoeing for free !
You can have a BBQ and also enjoy water-skiing with the reservation.
Viva Florida !!

Two ducks inhabit in my appartment's backyard.
The other day, I named them as Matsuko which is bigger one,
and Choco which is smaller one.
Choco watches out for Matsuko following her around.

There are some more inhavitats in my appartment's backyard.
Some egrets, black birds(not craw but I don't know their name) and cow!

Two months ago, I found cows thruough the window.It's really surprising to see cows in the backyard. They were five and were eating grass. I felt as if I were in an imaginary world.
I became curious about where they come from. As I came near cows, they run away into the woods. Though I chased them, I lost them and found that my appartment's backyard is a forest.

The national flower of the UK is rose. Japanese one is cherry blossom. How about the US?

The answer is carnation....
This is one of the popular jokes. Carnation have a secret meaning, car-nation. United States depends its economy highly on cars. So, they are called car nation. Actually, I have to get my car as soon as possible. Without it, I can't go anywhere outside of this town.

My most common mistakes have been "delete"; I tend to add unnecessary words and preposition like "that", "with", "from", "of", "in" and "the". I would like you to work on some more presentations in class, because classmates have various backgrounds and have unique interests. This is written English class, not Speaking...but it doesn't matter if the presentation are related to written English!

What's the best thing learning foreign languages?
It is, I think, being able to talking to people who use the language in their country. How about math? You can talk to nature with math. It's great to get to know with foreiners, it's wonderful to know about from carbon atom to the Milky Way.
Written languages represent spoken languages, math writes about nature phenomena. Like that the language has the grammer, Math also has some laws (yes, it is little bit bothersome, though).
Math is one of a languages. You can use it all over the world.
How many languages do you "use"?

I become to like carrots since I came here, Florida.
I didn't eat so many raw carrotts as salad in Japan.
But poeople live in here eat them without any dressing like mayonase.
They eat carrots like candies. Supermarkets sell pack of carrots that is easy to eat because they are small. After looking at scennes American eat small carrots, I tried to eat them in the same way American do. I don't eat carrots in raw, but carrots have been my favorite salad since then.

My wititing experience is on TOEFL, essay for applying to schools and some blogs.
Writing is getting easy for me. I like to write and it is easier than speaking.
I like to write short paragraphs. I don't care about its theme. Any kind of topic would be OK. But I hate writing long story. It bothers me.
I write English little now.
I have the problem in my written English when English doesn't have the words that match Japanese words exactly. Sometimes I get nerves because I can"t express my thinking well.
To cover this problem, I think, I need to get accustomed more to English and its culture.
I would be very happy if my writing is graded. Meeting one-on-one is also a lot of help not only for my writing but also for my speaking.

Thank you!
