Essay 1-03a: my language learning histories

 Today I tell you my languages leaning history. I learned Japanese and English mainly. Japanese is my mother tongue. I have learned English for many years, but I  can't speak, write, listen so well. I would to be able to speak English well, and If it possible, I would to learn another foreign language. I would to learn Italy, but my school didn't have Italy class.



  First, I have learned English for about 15 years, but first I was too young to lean foreign language, so I didn't understand well.  I leaning English now, I little upset from using P.C. I can't use it well. And reading, listening, writing became more difficult than junior high school and high school, so I feel I need to study English more. And I have to read English books, movies and CDs a lot. German was so difficult for me. I can't read, write, and listen. I leaned it for about 5 or 6 month, but I couldn't be able to speak German.



 Next, Japanese is said difficult in the world, but I can't feel other language is easier than our language. Japanese has kanji, hiragana, katakana, three . It is so difficult even if we are Japaneses. English is said easier, but we have leaned it since we were a junior high school student. So, we feel English is difficult, and many says I don't like English. German is very very difficult for me. it's grammar is likely Japanese. So we feel easier my cousin said, but I don't feel so. It is so difficult for me.

 Third is My childhood's story. I have leaned English for about 15 years, so the first I met English was When I was 4 years old. I think I was very young to learn English. I went to a English school. I went there twice a week. I liked to go there very much first, but I got old, I wouldn't go there finally. And I didn't understand the grammar and spell even I leaned it. I was told some dsand some games there. So I didn't know what do I say and some phrases mean. I just had gone there.



 Fourth, When I was a junior high school student, I made to go to a cram school by my mother. I never want to go there, but I have to go there. I hate studying very much since I was bone, so I thought I can't go there first. But now, I thank to my cram teacher and my mother because I can read and understand easily more than anyone who had never told by cram school. So I was able to go to high school I want to go.



 Finally, about my college. I came to Britain and America department of this school. I have to leaen reading, writing, speaking and so on. there are some different part from junior high and high school. The biggest point is using computers. I am not good at using it, so I think I have to learn about P.C. And I would to use computers quickly and I would to say I am good at using computers and English. This is my wish.

 That's all!

BR: 1-10 The Ugly Duckling


 I choose this book because I once read this book when I was a child, and I thought the ugly duckling is very miserable. He bullied his brothers, cat, bird, and so on. Everyone say to him" you are so ugly" "you are ugly!". The duckling was not white. He was a gray. And he was bigger than his brothers. He felt sad everyday. I think very sad.
 He escaped his home, and he meet many species, but he was bullied them. Finally, he become a beautiful swan. And he found another swan in the lake. They say to him "You are a beautiful white swan". I really happy that he was able to be a beautiful and get along with another swan.

  "Beauty and the Beast" is so major of the world. I read this book has some different from major's. Most different point is appearance two sisters of main character's. They are very spiteful and greedy. Another point is the beast died of fairy's magic.
 This story, a fairy appearance a little. But, almost same as Disney's. Main character is kind and beautiful of them. I like Disney's story and musics because this story is beautiful. And I like roses, so I'm glad to see Disney's "Beauty and the Beast".
