Holiday

Hi everyone,


My favorite holiday is Christmas. I'm not a Christian, but I love Christmas. Because I get presents from Santa Claus. To be honest, I thought Santa was real until I was about 12 years old.Santa left me a letter written in English and present, so I thought he really is there!, and I believed it. Now, instead of presents, I have an envelope of money under my pillow at Christmas. This is one of those moments when I feel like I've grown up. That's so sad moment... Did you all believe that there was a Santa Claus?ఠࡇఠ Also, at my house we have chicken, cake and pasta in tomato sauce for Christmas. We eat chicken like you often see in pictures, not KFC. I don't know the name of it, sorry... In the past, my family and relatives used to celebrate Christmas together, but I'm less likely to spend it with the whole family as I spend time with friends and get busy. Also, my brother's birthday is December 11, so we always have the same Christmas party and birthday party, which I think is a little more extravagant than most families.

Also, have you heard of Waitangi Day? In New Zealand, the day of the treaty between the Maori and the British is a public holiday. This is primarily a South Island event. I was staying in the North Island, near Auckland, so I didn't get to see the event with my own eyes, but my friends tell me it's a very important day. I'd like to see it when I get a chance to visit Christchurch.


Thank you for reading.

    Hi Nonoka!

    Your favorite holiday is nice! Do you know we can send Santa Claus a letter? I don't remember details, but I remember Santa Claus live in Norway, and we can send a letter. I have heard there are several types of Santas in the world. In japan, He ride a sled another country's Santa play surfing and come. It's wonder isn't it?

    Hi, Nonoka!

    Christmas is very exciting! At my house, there were a present and letter written in Japanese at my bedside but, I believed that there was a Santa Claus... Do you like the illuminations? I like the city view at Christmas time. It's so beautiful! Also, I'm interested in Waitangi Day. I want to see it if I go to New Zealand!

Hi everyone, I will be an English teacher for a steady income. I'd like to live a life where I can travel and work whenever I want without being tied down by money, but I'm on a scholarship and my parents are supporting me financially and I'm living freely now, so I want to give back to them. But recently, I think teacher is also good job too. Because teacher can give student many choice and dreams. In fact, my teacher gave me a lot of choices through English. Thanks to this, I was able to study in Australia in my third year of junior high school without spending anymoney, and now I love English even more.That's why I want to be a teacher who enjoys teaching people that learning English gives them more options. However if I were to do what I love to do without worrying about money, I'd want to work at an airport.The airport, which is the gateway to the country, is so attractive and I would love to work there at least once. Also I love to watch airplane. Each airline...

My high schools

Hi everyone, How are you? Its been cool and hot lately, so I've been feel sick. I like winter better than summer. Anyway, I tell you about my high school life. I was little bit particular and attended three different high schools in three years. It would be long to talk about all three schools, so here's one school in particular that has left a lasting impression on me. This is first high school in my life. I'll spare you the name of the school, but it was a school that changed my life. That school has a rule that is unusual for other schools. For example, students are not allowed to use their cell phones while going to and from school, they are required to be at school by 8:00 a.m. to do assembly, and they are required to memorize 100 English words every day and study until 8:00 p.m. if they fail the test. There are a lot of other rule. I wrote about 30 pages of remarks. Those are very good memories... Also, why did this school change my life. The reason is the teacher. He...

Hi everyone, I have so many weird experiences. For example, I saw the Yakusugi in the heavy rain, I slept on a trampoline while seeing a lot of stars, I went to Australia 10 days for free, I got on the back of a truck and go around the island and so on. But I'll tell you about one of the hardest experiences I've had. The first time I flew alone was in the third grade. Probably 9 or 10 years old? Since this age I often flying alone. I was really scary when I was 10 but now I prefer flying alone. In the 2018, I went to New Zealand to meet my friend and host. I had a great time during my 10 days in New Zealand, I met a lot of friends and I was able to travel around New Zealand with my host. But.......at that time, I still didn't think anything serious was going to happen. My return flight was after 8pm, I think. So my host family dropped me off at the airport at that time. But when I arrived at the airport, checked my luggage, said goodbye to my host and was ready to go to cus...
