New Year's Resolution

One year ago, I decided “New Year’s Resolution in 2010”. I hoped many things, for example, I can speak English very well, I do housework positively, and I get my girlfriend. Particularly, I want to choose plan of my study abroad. I want to go abroad for one year, but my “TOEFL-ITP” score was poor, so I couldn’t challenge studying abroad for one year. In short, I couldn’t perceive these resolutions in 2010. I thought that it’s too difficult for me to realize the dreams at the end of 2010. Therefore, I decided to state easy resolution for me.


From now, I would like to write about “My New Year’s Resolution in 2011”.

・ I get all credits.
・ I keep a healthy body.
・ I always keep a smile.
・ I promote my English skill.


☆Explanation☆

・ I get all credits.
Getting credits are important for university students. It’s because if we fail a lot of credits, we can’t graduate university until four years. In recent years, jobs are scarce and the rate of employment of new graduates is not so high. Therefore, if we go to university over 5 years, the companies won’t employ us.

・ I keep a healthy body.
I feel tired and I can’t spend a useful life when I contract an illness, for example, catching a cold and broken my bone. In addition, I must pay a lot of money if I contract an illness. I don’t want to make my family financial difficulties. Therefore, I have to keep a healthy body.

・ I always keep a smile.
I believe that smile makes people cheerful. However, if I always keep a smile without ignoring atmosphere, people think I’m a strange person. Therefore, I smile only when atmosphere is good.

・ I promote my English skill.
The world has become closer in these days. There are a lot of international student in School of International Studies, and we use many foreign products. Therefore, English skill is necessary for us when we become members of society.


I had decided “New Year’s Resolution” every year. However, I had been able to perceive them. Therefore, I realize this resolution very much. Resolution in 2011 is not so difficult, so I will be able to perceive!

Discovery

Today, I want to write about “discovery”, so I will write a short story like Aesop's Fables.


"A Man Who Try to Discover an Oil Field"

There is a boy in a town. One day, he found the ant nest in the garden. He wanted to know about inside of the ant nest, so he dug it. Then, many ants appeared from the nest. He was surprised at it, and he got interested in underground. After this, he dug the garden with a scoop in his hand every day. He met a lot of creatures, for example, mole cricket and earthworm. More and more, he liked digging. Many years later, he became an adult, so he had to think his future. He wanted to get something to dig job, but there is no one. Therefore, he decided to become a businessman. However, one day, he watched a TV program, which introduced a person who discovered an oil field in the Middle East. The person said, “since I’m a child, I had had a dream which I discover an oil field. I had never given up the dream. I experienced some trouble, but the hope realized my dream. Therefore, never give up the dream!” This statement got to his heart. So, he decided that he never give up the dream. He had a scoop again, and kept digging the hole. Then, groundwater gushes from the hole. He gave it to the people. It made the people happy. And it also made him glad. More and more he dug the hole. A few days later, suddenly he couldn’t dig the hole because there is a hard stratum. Therefore, he bought a machine for digging. He kicked on it. Soon after this, the stratum was broken. Then, the black liquid welled up from the hole. “I discovered an oil field. I could realize the dream. I become a billionaire!” cried him. However, there was a bad smell coming from the hole. The smell was not oil. It was similar to human waste. In fact, a hard stratum was a sewer. He broke the sewer! As a result, it reeks of rot in the town, and people couldn’t use the sewer. In addition, he was arrested by the police. After this he regretted about a lack of the plan.

In this way, if you want to realize the dream, you have to create a plan.

My Future Life

Future is hopeful. Therefore, I would like to write about my ideal life in the future.
I graduate the university and I join a highly-regarded company. Then, I meet a good partner in the company and I marry her. I work hard for my wife and spending a rich life. A few years later, I join the board in the company. I can become to earn a comfortable income. After this, I become a homeowner. In addition, I have my children. I have over two children because I want to fix the declining birthrate. On weekdays, I work hard for my family. On holidays, I spend the time with my family. I want to travel and play sports with them. After I have reached the mandatory retirement age, I spend the time with my wife. I'd love to travel around the world with her. After this, I wish to ascend to heaven surrounded by family.
This is my ideal life in the future.

However, I'm afraid it doesn't work out. Therefore, now, I have to write about my realistic life in the future.
I graduate the university, but it’s tough finding a job these days, so I can’t join a good company. As a result, I can get less income. I find a good partner in the company, but I can’t marry her because I have a low income. As a result, I can’t have my child, and buy my house. I rent an apartment and I live alone. On weekdays, I work moderately. On holidays, I sleep till noon and I watch TV till late at night. After I retire my job, I live in a nursing home. I get Alzheimer's Disease at there. I become an elder who need care. I bother my care workers and they suffer from stress because of me.
This is my realistic life in the future.







I really hope my future life become ideal life.
Thank you for reading.

Things I used to enjoy doing, but don't now

When I was a junior high school student, I played American football. However, I haven’t played since I graduated the junior high school. In addition, I won’t play it forever. Some people will think, “Why do you think so”. Therefore, from now, I would like to write about “why I think so”. I have four reasons.

First of all, I have got summer teeth. Therefore, I wanted to have a bridge put on my teeth until I start my job search. The player of the sport has to put his mouth over a mouthpiece. So, If I continued to play American football, I couldn’t wear braces.

Second of all, I don’t have possibilities of the sport. I can’t run fast. I am not good at catching and kicking a ball. I am not a big boy. I am a lean man. I tried to increase my weight. I ate a lot of foods. However, they were expelled as many feces. Therefore, I felt like I've reached the limit of my strength and energy.

Third of all, I have poor eyesight. I was the position of catching the ball. However, I didn’t understand a sense of perspective, so I couldn’t be good at catching a ball. Therefore, I decided to wear the glasses when I play American football. However, my glasses were not in the right place when I was hit by someone. Therefore, I decided to wear contacts. However, I couldn’t put in my contact lenses because of fear.

Fourth of all, I think American football is a dangerous sport. Many players of the sport suffer from a brain concussion and broke bones. I wanted to be seriously hurt and I didn't want to die young.

For these reasons, I stopped playing American football. If an American football player read this post, don't get so angry, please.

My Ideal Partner

Marriage is an important ceremony for me. It’s because I have a dream that I want to spend happy life with my wife and my sons in the future. In addition, it is necessary for Japanese to marry only one time. If one Japanese get a divorce, he loses social statue and people who surround him don’t become to respect a him individuality. Therefore, I decide that I love my only one partner until my death. However, in recent years, a divorce rate becomes high in Japan. I think it is proof that people can’t get marriage best partners. I won’t want to divorce such as them. So I feel that it is necessary for me to make my ideal partner’s points clear.

From now, I write about my ideal partner’s points.

My partner ･･･
1. is good at cooking.
2. do housework positively.
3. is cheerful

I won't focus on appearance of my wife. It's because appearance have changed when my wife is old.

A Good Fiend

When I met him for the first time, I was in the first grade of high school. I invited him to join the yacht club, but he was taking a nap in the classroom. Therefore, I woke him up. It made him a little angry, so I apologized to him. Then, I said to him, “Let’s join the yacht club”. However, he said to me, “I’m sorry, but I will join the tennis club”. However, I never gave up! I took him away from the classroom, and we went to sea and we sailed. At first, he was unwilling to sail, but he enjoyed sailing as the time passed. Finally, he decided to become a member of yacht club. He is a hard worker, so he always practiced hard. As a result, he had become good at sailing fast. When he was in the first and second grade, he didn’t play an active part so much, but he was in the third grade, he won the first prize in the last competition of high school. I was very pleased with that, and congratulated him.
He is an indispensable person for me. He is good-looking. He is considerate of everyone. When I do some work, he always helps me. When I play a trick to him, he smiles shyly. If I was a woman, it might have been in love to him.
Now, he belongs to the yacht club of Kwansei Gakuin University. He acts very much in spite of the first grader. And every day, he say to me, “My life was changed by you”.

A Special Day

My parents are teachers at a public junior high school. And they act as advisers for the club activities. In addition, there are a lot of lazy students and crazy parents of students in these days. So they are very busy all the year round. I and my brother are university students and belong to the club activities. We practice the activities all day during the holidays. In short, my family rarely has the day spent together all day long. However, there is my special day we can spend together. It is New Year’s Day! Therefore, my family decides to go to trip in the day every year. My family goes to skiing in Nagano Prefecture last year.

The last day of the year, we left our house at 1 p.m. We went to Nagano using our car but it was snowing. So, the driver, my father was driving carefully. We arrived at Nagano seven hours later. We ate buckwheat noodles at 9 p.m. It was very delicious because buckwheat is one of the special products of Nagano. After this, we went to the hotel and watched TV.

The next day, we went to skiing. The day was fine weather, and it was snowing before the day. Therefore, the day was the best day for skiing. Visibility was very good and snow was soft. We really enjoyed skiing all the day. On the evening, we stopped skiing. And we went to a hot spring. I could feel relax and comfortable. Then, we went back home.

The next day, I went to a cold spring. It was the sea. It meant the practices of the yacht club had started. I had to go From the heaven to the hell.
