A message to classmates

Thank you for a year. I learned a lot about writing in English and enjoyed events thanks to this class.

I was inspired by many people in this class. When I knew how many words you wrote and what you wrote about in this class, I realized I had to make an effort to write many words and good contents. I desired to write a long and good essay like many classmates. Besides, when I read other’s essay, I found the good way to write in English. Therefore, I felt my skill in writing in English would go up thanks to this class.

I enjoyed some events in this class. I want to say thank to people who projected some events. One of the things I remember the most of all is wearing the uniform of high school and seeing other’s ones or some costumes at Halloween party. Besides, at Christmas party, we exchange presents. We ate cake and sweets, and played some games at the parties. I enjoyed all the events hold in a year.

 

I want to make more efforts to write great essays and enjoy anything in the next class, too!

What I am proud of this year

This year will have ended soon, so I want to look back at this year. What I have done this year that I am proud of is the club activity. I will show you what I did at the club.

First, I became to be able to say what I want to say through many meetings in the club. We are operating in the team and we have to talk about the individual work and some events which our team project in the meeting every week. That is, I had many opportunities to express my opinion in the club. To sum up, I was not good at saying what I want to say in front of many people, but I became to be able to provide my idea through the many meetings.

Second, I experienced the things which I have never experienced. The thing is to call to some companies and go there to talk with the company presidents or staff members. I was very nervous about calling to companies and going there, but I could talk someone I have never met and know what I have never thought of. In short, what I did in the club this year is very amazing experience.

In conclusion, I am proud of that I could grow myself and experience what I have never experienced through the club activity this year.

The most urgent issue Japan facing

Four years will have passed since the nuclear accident occurred in Japan, but the problem about the accident haven’t been solved. I believe the most urgent issue Japan is facing is the problem of atomic power plant. I will show you why I think so.

First, some people haven’t come home yet because of the nuclear problem. People who lived near the atomic power plant were deprived of their houses, and what’s more they haven’t come home yet. They must want to come home, but the decontamination work haven’t finished, so they can’t return to their hometown. In short, the problem of the nuclear accident haven’t finished.

Second, there are some nuclear power plants in production now despite being said that a large earthquake will occur soon. Under this condition, I doubts that it is all right if some nuclear power plants are running. I worried that when a large earthquake occurs someday, the same kinds of accidents will occur. To sum up, we have the risk associated with the use of nuclear power plants.

In conclusion, because of the above reasons, I believe that the problem of the nuclear power plant is the most urgent issue.

Having a boyfriend or girlfriend should make our lives better.

 

I agree that having a boyfriend or girlfriend should make our lives better. I will tell you why I think so.

First, a boyfriend or a girlfriend support us all the time. I believe that a boyfriend or a girlfriend help us when we are worried about something or have troubles, and he or she stays with us when we want to cry. For example, my friends told me that when she suffered for the university she got in, and cried, her boyfriend stayed with her and heard her distress. In short, boyfriend or girlfriend supports us in difficult time.

Second, we can engage in deep discussion with a boyfriend or a girlfriend. We can talk about the dream for future, and we can work hard for the goals with him or her. For instance, I watched a drama in which couples gave each other encouragement and worked hard for the each other’s dream. To sum up, couples can talk about the deep topic, and have a positive effect one another.

In conclusion, for the above reasons, I agree that having a boyfriend or a girlfriend should make our lives better. (191 words)

 

Children should start learning a foreign language very early (TOEFL)

I agree with the opinion that children should start learning a foreign language very early. I will write two reasons to support this opinion.

First, children can remember something sooner than adults. The older people become, the weaker memory abilities are. For example, my Filipino friends in my elementary school days can speak Tagalog, English and Japanese. They learned Tagalog and English in Philippines before elementary school and after coming to the Japanese elementary school, they learned Japanese. She could learn to speak three languages until she became junior high school. On the other hand, in my case I started to learn English at elementary school and I have learned English for about 10 years, but I couldn’t speak even only English fully. In short, the sooner people start to study a foreign language, the better people can master it.

Second, children have long time to learn something. In elementary school or before it, children don’t have to do many things, but after entering junior high school children should study many subjects and they can’t spend time on learning a foreign language. To some up, children should learn a foreign language in an enjoyable format when they have time to spare.

In conclusion, children should start learning a foreign language very early because a young children have a good memory ability and enough time. (224 words)

To succeed in the modern world

There are many skills that people should have in order to succeed in the modern world. I want to show you two of them.

First, people should have English skills. These days, the world goes global, so people have to communicate with many countries’ people. Almost all the foreign people can speak English. If you cannot speak English, you can’t negotiate with foreign companies, and your companies may miss out the wave of globalization. In short, speaking English is necessary in the modern world.

Second, presentation skill is necessary nowadays. I believe making presentation in public proudly is important. For example, people who can explain their opinion in public get belief of companies and respect of members in my circle. In short, people should have their own thought and explain it to others clearly these days.

Third, communication skill is important. In business world, I believe people who have communication skills succeed in business negotiation. To some up, if people talk with strangers and get along with them can succeed.

In conclusion, if people have these three skills in especially, they succeed in the modern world.

Technology help us have a better communication in family.

I agree with the opinion that technology helps us have a better communication in family. I will write two reasons why I think so.

First, television give us a lot of conversation topics in family. For example, my family all love dramas, so we often watch the same drama. After we watch the drama, we talk about it so long. For instance, we told that some scenes are very good or bad, and one actor or actress is very cool or cute. To sum up, if we watch the same TV program, we have a better communication in family.

Second, cell-phone give us a chance where we have a communication in family even if we are somewhere far away. In my family’s case, when one of my families travels to somewhere far away, we can talk through cell phone. We can hear that he or she enjoy the trip or not and we can send the pictures each other.

In conclusion, the technology helps us have a better communication.
