Blog #4: The tirp for Hiroshima (Eikou Takahashi)





Hello, everyone, this is Eikou.

In this summer, I visited my father’s parents’ home which is my grandparents’ home. Today, I am going to talk about it.

 

From 9/2 to 9/4, I visited my father’s parents’ home to go to the hospital to see my grandfather. I have not really been there for about 10 years or something because my father’s parents’ home is located in Hiroshima which is so far from Tokyo (It takes about 4-5hours by Shinkansen) that I hardly can visit. It was also because I was too young to travel by myself 10 years ago, I had to go with my parents. However, we could not adjust our schedule.

Anyways I have not been there for over 10 years due to those reasons.

 

 

When I got there, my grandmother seemed like very pleasant to see me again. We had so much to talk about even though we last met a year ago in Tokyo.

The next day I went to the hospital to see my grandfather. Honestly, I was worried because I have heard from my parents that my grandfather has a quite bad disease. Although the operation went well, I was still a little bit worried about him.

But actually, I did not have to worry too much which was good. His condition was a lot better than I thought that I could not imagine he actually had taken the operation about three weeks ago.

I and my grandfather talked a lot as well. In this time he talked to me things he has never told me before such as his experiences during WW2. Since some people do not want to talk about it, it was very glad to know how he lived during WW2.

 

 

Although it was a very short trip, it became an unforgettable experience to me. I hope his condition is getting better and better, and I really wish to visit them again after his release from the hospital.

blog#4: My summer vacation(Minori Tango)

Hello, everyone. This is Miori. I am sure that we all had a great time in this summer.
And  I would like to share my memory of this summer with all of you.

During the summer vacation, I went to Ishikawa prefecture in which my grandparents live. I went there alone for the first time. I took bus and train, and it took me 8 hours in total to get to my grandparents' house. It had been 2 years since I last visited them, so it was the fisrt time to see them after I went to New Zealand to learn English.

I used to go to Ishikawa prefecture, and see not only my grandparents but also other relatives. I have 9 cousins and second cousins in total who live in there, and 8 people of them are younger than me, so everytime I go to Ishikawa, I look after, and play with them instead of their parents.

These are some of my cousins.

We enjoyed sparkers, and one day my aunt's family took me to Kyoto prefecture as well.

 
It was the first time after I went to New Zealand, so everyone asked me about it many times, and tried to make me speak English, but my grandmother told me that I became much cheerful than I used to be, and I was glad to hear that. I enjoyed so many things in Ishikawa and Kyoto. I enjoyed the beautiful scenery, air and life which seem to be carefree. But what I enjoyed most was the time I spent with my grandparents, other relatives and little cousins. For my relatives, it might be just an usual thing to go out or eat dishes everyone together. But for myself, I hardly go out or eat dinner with my family in Tokyo because of being busy, so I felt happiness all the time in Ishikawa.
From this experience, I realized how much I had missed the precious time I could have in my life, and people in Ishikawa recalled me to the importance of family, so from now on, I will spend the time with my family preciously, and I will try to have dinner together as much as I can.

blog #4: How I spent my summer vacation

Hello everyone! This is Mayuko!
I will talk about how I spend my summer vacation this year.

I am part of Gakushuin Yacht club as a player.
Have you ever seen yacht sailing race?



Yacht (sailing boat) is a boat propelled partly or entirely by sails. There are two types of yacht : 470 and snipe in our club which run only by wind. I am in 470 team which can be seen in Tokyo Olympics in 2020.


Summer is the best season for sailing so I have been spending whole summer for practice. Practice mainly takes place in Hakkeijima sea paradise and Hayama which is known as famous place for yacht.
We stay there 5 days in  a week. Training camp sometimes makes me nervous because it is hard to find own time especially for freshman. And of course, practice is very hard and gets me very very tired. However I think that this life makes me stronger mentally and physically.

Our yacht season still continue so I will try to keep my self up by telling myself "hard work pay off
!"

This is a fire work that can be seen from training camp in hakkeijima!

Blog #4: The last summer vacation in my student life (Minami)

Hello, this is Minami.  I will talk about my experience during the summer vacation. 

It was the last summer vacation for me.  I went to a lot of places and enjoyed them.  Although I have many memories, the most impressive event I experienced in this summer was 7 nights 8days training camp of a club. 

I belong to karatedou club of the university.  We have training camps twice in one year; in September and March.  I had joined a camp with a heave heart every time, because it is long and hard.  However, my motivation was so high due to the last training camp for me.  The practices were hard both physically and mentally the same as in the past.  Nevertheless, I decided to attack every practice in all seriousness because I will not be able to experience such an event.  For this reason, the harder I was in practice, the stronger sense of achievement I could feel. 

Also, I enjoyed breaks every day.  After the morning practices and the afternoon practices, we have free times.  During that time, we usually sleep, take a walk, talk to each other and so on.  There was also a night that we enjoyed fireworks and a test of our courage.  These times were very important for us to relax ourselves.  I enjoyed times full of laughter. 

Like this, my last training camp had finished.  I envied fourth grade seniors when I was a freshman, but now, it made me sad to think I will not be able to join the camp with my good members.  However, I think that it would be my support in the future because my effort during that period was overwhelming.  My coaches and seniors said so, too.  Although a big event of the club had finished, I have the remaining three months for club activity until my retirement.  I am going to do practice with all my strength. 

Being enthusiastic about something is so great.  I think that a college life is short but suitable for trying something.

Blog #4; London

Hello, this is Koichi. In this summer vacation, I went to London. This was my first experience to visit foreign country. Moreover, I went there alone. Because of these factors, I was really nervous before I arrived at London.

The reason why I decided to go to London alone is that I wanted to know my English skills is good enough to live in foreign countries. Through this trip, I can find an interesting thing. I'm going to talk about it at the very end of this blog.

Now, I'd like to show you some pictures which I took in London. The first picture is this.
What I wanted to visit the most in London is this, Big Ben. It is one of the most famous architectures in the world. WhenI arrived at this place, I was really impressed. There were many people on the street; however, I felt like staying there long time.
The second picture is the one which shows changing the guard. To see this scene, I waited for moe than two hours. When we hear the word "British guards", many of us probably imagine the ones in red clothes; however, there are two kinds if soldiers- the red ones and navy ones. It deserves to wait for several hours to watch it.
Before I left Japan, I decided to watch musical in London. Fortunatelly, I could watch a popular musical, the Lion King. As I know this story, I was able to understand it easily. This musical was wonderful because every animal was played by people. Their performance was great. I heard that they study how animals move in zoos.

Before I visited London, I was confident in my listening skill rather than speaking skill; however, it wasn't true. My listening skill is not good enough. As English I often hear is the one for student; in other words, theachers speak English slowly or clearly for their students. But native speakers in London don't care their students of course, because they are not teachers. Through this trip, i can find my English skill is poor to stay in foreign countries. I think this experience gave me an imortant lesson which I can't learn in Japan.
