7/31 Panel discussion!!

Today, we had panel discussion in our class. Panel discussion means some people come to our class and they talk in front of us, and after that, we ask them questions. Today's theme was "Education of the United States". We studied about Education system of America. There were many things that I didn't know, so today's class was very interesting!! I asked a lot of questions, so I was praised by some American teachers!! I was very happy!!
These days, I really think that my English ability was improved. I am speaking English even when I am dreaming!! And even when I am alone in my room, I am always using English. I think that is very good for me!! I will go back to Japan with my really improved English ability!!
See you!! Have a good day!!

7/30 Sunday!!

Today is Sunday, so I didn't have class!! They say that Sunday is the day to relax, so I slept so much, so I'm a little bit tired now. In the morning, my host father took me to church. I have never been to church, so it was my first time. The church was very very beautiful and big. There were a lot of people, and I greeted many people. They welcomed me, so I was happy. All the people in the church were so kind!! After that, we came home, and had a hot dog for a lunch, and relax time was started!! I slept for about 4 hours, and it made me a little tired. And at evening, my host family's friend's family came home and small party was held. I thought "OUBEIKA!!", but I'm in the United States, so it’s true. Today, I thought that to be able to go to school is very happy, because to go to school is much more interesting than to stay home all day long!! So, I'm really looking forward to going to school tomorrow!! I like to go to school because I can talk with friends!! See you!!! Have a good day!!

7/29 Mall of America!!

Today, I had no class, so I helped my host father to make his garden in the morning, and after that I went to Mall of America with my friend and his host family. My friend asked his host family to take to Mall of America together. Do you know what Mall of America is?? It is very huge shopping mall!! It was so huge!! It is as twice or three times bigger as HIKARINO MORI!! It made me surprised!! All the things there were cheaper than Japanese those. I wanted buy New Era cap, but it was too big for me. A funny thing was happened, when I was trying on. When I was trying it on, I put my cap on the rack, and after that I looked for my cap, but I could not find it. I looked around to look for my cap and, a American boy was trying my cap on!! It was so funny!! After we looked around the mall, we went to a theater which is in the mall!! We watched "TRANSFORMER". It was good, but I thought I have to practice English more, because to understand English of movie was very difficult. Many people laughed at the movie, but I could not understand why they were laughing. So I will practice English harder!! Tomorrow, I will help my host father to make his garden to, so I must be going to have muscle pain on Monday. Have a good day!! Work hard. GUSTO member!! See you!!

7/28 Carnival!!

Today, we had no class so we went to a big carnival! But it is not that you guys imagine, it is like a festival in Japan. I ate a lot of food there. All the foods were so good!! And I got fake tattoo there!! It is so cool, but I was said "You look like real gang with your tattoo!!" but I don't care and I like this tattoo very much!! I like this tattoo so much, so I want to wear real one!! I might go back to Japan with real tattoo. So please look forward to seeing it!! Anyway today was so fun!! I like the United States, and my English ability ia really improved, so these days I really don't want to go back to Japan!! I want to stay here longer and I want to improve my English ability, so please someone ask manager of GUSTO "Can I stay here longer, and can I have vacation longer" Please ask him!! Then we will have a dinner, so see you!! Have a good day!!

7/27 Beach party!!

Today was my forth day in the US. Today was very very fun!! I went to beach today!! First, I heard that we have to go to beach on our foot, and I thought it is so troublesome, but it was very fun!! I played with children who are not Japanese and Japanese students. I really enjoyed it. And I could see a lot of girls with swim suit!! It made me very happy!! American girls with swim suit were very beautiful, but they are so tall, so I like Japanese short girl!! My friends were wearing swim suit!! They were so cute!! After school, I was so tired, but I had to go to my host family's youngest daughter, Noa‘s school's party. I ate two hot dogs there. It was so good!! Tomorrow, we will go to Carnival!! So I will go to bed. Have a good day!!

7/26 Third day in the US.

Today I did some games with my friends and American people, it was very very fun. Today is my host family's daughter's birth day, so after school, I asked my host mother to take me to Super store to buy a present to her. I bought CD to her. I will give her it on this weekend because we are having her birth day party on this weekend. I hope she will be glad. And a very glad thing was happened today. That is my host father asked me this "How long have you been studying English, Kazuki", and I answered " I started to study English when I was a junior high school student" and I asked " Why", he answered "You can almost understand what we say, and you can speak English well, so we are surprised". That made me very very happy. I'm so glad to know my English is well. I can be proud of my English skill!! It's so happy!!

7/25 Second day in the US!!

I'm writing this blog in my host family's house. My host family's son, Samuel is next to me now. I went to college today. It was very very big and I was so surprised. I ate rice today, it was good. I went to Mississippi river today. The river was also big!! I enjoyed talking with a lot of foreigners. I could talk with them well, but I was a little shocked because my pronunciation was bad and they could not understand what I said. So I decided to practice pronouncing. I also could take a lot of pictures with American people, so I'm so happy!! I have to go to school tomorrow, and I have homework, so I will do it from now!! See you tomorrow!!

7/24 First day in the United States

From today, I will post the blog post of my mixi. I posted many posts in the United States to contact with my friends in Japan, so I will post those posts to blogger.

I’m at my host family's house now!! The United States is very very great!! All the things in the US are very very big!! I think this country is better than Japan for me. I could not sleep in the air plane so I'm so tired now. It is about 21:45, July 23rd now. That is to say, I had two July 23rd. It is very good experience for me. I had jet lug now, so I will go to bed. Good night, and have a good day!!

About this class!!

I think this class is very good chance for me to learn how to make my blog and to improve my English ability. I have never made my blog before, and to tell the truth I don't like writing because I don't like writing even in Japanese, but this class was very fun!! I enjoyed reading other people's blog and writing my blog, and I read a lot of books which is written in English. It was not easy for me but it was really good for me to improve my English ability. I think that my English ability was improved not only writing ability but also reading and listening ability. This class was very fun!! I enjoyed this class!! Thank you!!

Please link to your best comment on another blog. Why do you think it is best?My best comment is this.I chose this because I did want to go Gurannmesse Kumamoto to look a lot of cool cars and motor bikes, but I could not go there because I had a part time job and I had a little money, but he showed me many pictures, so I was happy!! I want to custom my motor bike and my car like them, I thought!!

Blue ticket!!

I got a blue ticket yesterday again. It is from police. I went back to my home town yesterday and I was running a little fast (74 km/hour). Suddenly, some police came to in front of me, and I was caught. I had to pay 12000 yen!! It was very expensive trip.

Yesterday's part time job!

Yesterday was very hard for me. I had a part time job, and I went to deliver to a lot of houses. Whenever I work, I usually go to under 10 houses, but I went to over 15 houses yesterday. It was very very hard for me.

Book review 1-15

Today I read this book 'STAR REPORTER'.
The main character of this book is a son of news paper editor, and he was asked to look for something interesting to his father's newspaper.
One day, he knew that a new beautiful girl came to his town, and he wanted to see her. When he was looking for her, he found. She was very beautiful girl with red hair. Her hobby is to take photos and she wanted to sell her some photos to his father's newspaper company.
He was always making some mistakes and she took them with her camera, and she sold them to his father.
This book was very easy to read and very interesting. I recommend you to read this!!

20 years in the future self introduction

Hello. My name is Kazuki Ishibuchi. I am 40 years old now. I have 5 members in my family. They are my wife and my children. My wife is as old as I and my children are two sons and one daughter. My oldest son is 15 years old and he is a junior high school student. My daughter is 13 years old and she is also a junior high school student. My youngest son is 10 years old and he is a elementary school student. They are very energetic and they all like sports. They are very good children.
I have a job which is to trade the parts of motor bikes. I like English and motor bikes, so my job is very good for me. I sometimes go to the United States and to check the motor bikes, and buy some parts of motor bikes. To customize motor bikes is very hot among young people in Japan now. It is very glad for me.
My hobby is also to ride on a motor bike. I have two motor bikes, one is CBR600RR and another one is Harley Davidson. CBR600RR is very fast, and I have wanted it from when I was a university student, so I am satisfied with it. I will keep riding on a motor bike forever.

Aso!!

I went to Aso some days ago with my friend, Fumiya, because my friend, Yuuki is working at a convenience store which is at Aso. It was very far, so it took about 30 minutes to go there. It was not convenience store for us, because it was very far!! When we were going there, there were few lights, so we were worrying that we were on the right way or wrong way. When we found his convenience store, we were excited!! We were satisfied with being able to see him. It was good touring. We also found a stag beetle!! It was very good day!!

Fast touring!!

Last Sunday morning, I went to touring with my new motor bike. On the day, I woke up at 6:00 and I went out from my home, and I went to Amakusa. I was planning to go there with my self, but I met a biker in front of a convenience store and I went to touring with him. His bike is CB1300 Super Four, so it was very fast touring, we ran very fast (about 170km/hour), so I was very tired, but it was very interesting!! I really enjoyed the touring!! I want to run with him again someday!!

Book review 1-13

Today I read this book 'Give us the Money'. This book was very interesting. I enjoyed reading this book.

A main character of this book is Adam and he works at a bank. One morning he was dreaming he is like a hero. He woke up and he thought that everyday is same and nothing exciting ever happens, but the day is not same.

When he was going to his work place, he happened to meet bank robbers, and they crashed, and he missed to take his bag and he took the bank robber's bag, so they want to catch him.

The day became very exciting and dangerous day for him.

This book was easy to read and very interesting, so I recommend you to read this book.

I bought!!

Today, I bought many things. I bought rider's jacket and gloves!!! I'm very happy because my new motor bike is coming soon!!

Rain, rain, rain, rain, rain.....

These days, there are many rainy days in Kumamoto. It rains always. It's too bad for me because I dislike rainy days.

Book review 1-12

Today, I read this book 'Girl on a Motorcycle'. I chose this book because I like motor bikes, so I had interest on this book.
First, a man met a woman at the hotel. He thought that he knew her. Next morning, he watched news about super market robbery, and he thought she is the robber, but he was wrong. The robber was not a woman but a man. The robber wore fake hair.
This book was interesting, but to write book review is difficult for me because this book is a little complex, so if you have interest on this book, I recommend you to this book. This book is easy to read, so I recommend you to read this book.

My favorite movies!!

My favorite movies are Wild Speed series. The movies are about street race of very fast customized cars. A lot of very cool and very fast cars appear in the movies. When I watched the movie for the first time, I was very excited and I really enjoyed watching the movie. I like cars and motor bikes which are very fast and customized, so whenever I watch the movie, I can always enjoy watching the movies.

　The cars in the movies are very cool, so I think the people who have interest on cars can enjoy watching the movies. The drivers in the movie drive cars very well. I think they are very brave and great because they drive cars as if their cars are their body, so I respect them.

　I want to have a car which is very cool and very fast as the cars which appear in the movies someday. I really like cool cars and motor bikes.

　Anyway, I really recommend you to watch these movies if you have never watched these movies. These movies are very exciting and great, so I think you must be able to enjoy watching these movies. These movies are really great.

Finally!!

The day when my new motor bike will be come to me was decided!! The day is next Saturday!! I'm very happy because I have wanted it for a very long time!! My new motor bike's name is CB400 Super Bold'or. It is best motor bike among 400 cc class. It was very expensive, but I 'm really satisfied!! I want to go many places with it!! I'm looking forward to riding on the new motor bike!!

Heavy rain!!

It is raining so hard now in Kumamoto, so I can not go home because I always come to school by my motor bike. I like motor bikes better than cars, but when it rains, I feel cars are good.
