My favorite sport to watch

My favorite sport to watch is baseball. Because my boyfriend plays baseball. I wasn't interested in baseball until I met my boyfriend. But I want to go to the baseball stadium to watch games now. I sometimes go to a baseball ground to watch the baseball game that my boyfriend takes part in. I'm looking forward to watching his play and making friends who are the team members' girlfriends. We watch the game while talk about our boyfriends. In September, some baseball games were held. So I went to the ground and I enjoyed watching the games. I'd like to try to watch a lot of professional baseball games these days. And I want to talk about baseball with my boyfriend.

My favorite movie

My favorite movie is "27 dresses". Because this movie used many type of dresses. I like to watch many dresses at the wedding shops. This movie's heroine is beautiful and kind. She likes weddings and her reason for living is to help brides. Her dream is to be a bride someday, but she is too kind to rob a man of her sister. She has loved him  before her sister met him. She helped to prepare for their wedding. I like her speech in the wedding because she spoiled the wedding and their engagement was broken. This  scene is very interesting. After that, she and her sister made up each other. So she was very happy and she got married to the writer who met her at a wedding. Her 28th dress was a wedding dress. Of course, her 27 friends came to her wedding. I like this end very much.

Something special I did during vacation

Something special I did during vacation is to go to Minnesota. I had very precious time there with my host family. First of all, of course I spoke English all day. I'm not good at speaking English, but I tried to talk with my host many times. My host mother is very kind because when I didn't understand her talk, she spoke more slowly and more easier to understand for me. Second, I experienced canoeing in the class. I had never done canoeing so I was very excited. The canoeing was calm and beautiful because of Minnesota's nature. I want many beautiful nature in my city. Lastly, I went to Lake Superior with my host. The lake is too large to take a picture. It looks like the ocean. I want to go to Minnesota again.

Good and bad points about summer

I think bad points about summer are very hot, humid, and that ultraviolet rays is very strong. I'm afraid of getting sunburned. Whenever I go out, I apply sunscreen to my skin. And I didn't like to go out. But I like it now because of my boyfriend. He is very active and he likes to go out. By the way, I think good points about summer are many recreations. For example, going to the sea, a barbecue, many beautiful trees, crimbing the mountain, the summer festival, fireworks, and so on. I went to the sea three times last summer. And I enjoyed a barbecue with my boyfriend and his family in this summer. I also went to the summer festival. I'm looking forward to coming summer every year.

How I study during the vacation

I studied about American things during the summer vacation. First of all, American traffic is very different from Japanese. I knew that vehicles drive on the right in this country, but I didn't know people ride a motorcycle without a helmet. I was surprised at it. In Japan, it is a violation of traffic regulations. And I found that people can turn right when the light turned red. It was interesting for me. Second, I was surprised that the American flag is raised every where. I think it is interesting for Japanese people. Because in Japan, it is not a common scene. Lastly, I was very surprised at food. American food is very big, and the grocery store's shelves are very high. And in the supermarket, I found that people put the goods on the belt conveyor when they pay at the checkout counter. I think it is very useful.

Vacation plans

My vacation plan was to participate in kaigai kensyu. I was looking forward to go to Minnesota, but I was worried about my life in Minnesota. Because I'm not good at speaking English and I'm not a friendly person. However, I had a good time with my host family and I learned about a lot of things. For example, I could hear some modern English. I didn't know such as English expressions. My host mother uses "Holy cow!" instead of "Unbelievable". Her son asked "Do you have a sibling?". I have heard "sibling" from the English teacher in my high school, but I didn't think people use the word in real life. I'm interested in modern English. I'll study a lot of English expressions.
