Volunteer Day

This after school I went to the library to get some books for making a teaching plan. In two weeks I'm going to Korea to do some teaching Japanese trainings. Before that I have to show the plan to the class. It is this Friday! I'm still thinking about the plan. It is very difficult! I'm sure I won't be able to sleep till Friday...

Another thing I did today was a kind of volunteer. I helped some kids. There is a sort of camping(?) program for kids. They stay at a big house(?) for four nights to learn some social skills with the other kids. They cook own meals and do everything by themselves. Tonight is the first night. I tried to remember thier names and helped to make their own team name&flag. It was my first time to help them so I didn't know what I should do. But I tried to speak to them and finally they finished their task so it was good. Just before I left there, when I told some girls I was leaving to go home tonight, a girl told me not to go home and to stay over night. I was very happy to hear that. I won't go there tomorrow but will go on Friday after the class. Now I'm very looking forward to meeting them again!

Busy Day

It was a busy day today. I worked at my university for Teaching Japanese Society(this English name could be wrong). This meeting was held yesterday and today but I only worked today. My job was to record the presentations with cassette tapes and to keep the time for each presenters and let them know how long they still have left.

It's very difficult to use a machine which I've never touched before! And... I did wrong.... I didn't know once the tape was over then it started to go backward! That was okey, I understood it recording on the other side.(Is this right??) But!! When the next person started and I put another tape and pushed "play & record" at the same time as I was taught, the tape went backward again! and again and again............. I tried to find out what was going on but I couldn't find why it kept going backward!

Finally a lady who was a chair found a button witten "reverse direction". Right after that I could start to record but I missed first five minutes. That was a sweat.

Full Moon Viewing

Good morning! How are you today??

Last night, the moon was full and it was so beautiful. The sky was clear and no clouds so we could see it very well. My mom made supper and ate at the park near my house with people living around there. Supper was very good and the full moon was perfect! It was a very nice night.

If you didn't see the moon last night, you should do that tonight! That's pretty cool!

One Notice from My Friend

Hello! I'm Hiroko. This is my first blog in my life. First time is in English!! Isn't it so exciting!?? I didn't know about this class, I mean I didn't know we use a blog for this class so I'm very happy.

This morning I phoned my Canadian friend and noticed one thing. It is... I'm getting forgetting English!! Already!! I came back to Japan just three weeks ago. In Canada, I didn't notice how fast she spoke. But!! This is a good notice to me. I have to keep up my English even in Japan. This blog will help me, I'm sure.

I'll write about my daily life and of course about books I'll read.
Okey, see you later!
