Cars and other transportation

I attended speaking class today. We talked about the theme ‘CARS AND OTHER TRANSPORTAION’. I talked with Saori about the theme too. So I am going to talk about it.

I have a car license. I got the car license last year. I have ever driven the car. My family has a ‘wagon R’. The car is purple and square. I have moped. The moped is brown and cute figure. I do not like to go moped riding, because it is very, very cold when I ride my moped in the winter. I think I am not a careful driver, because I sometimes drive my family’s car too fast. I have never been in a traffic accident. I want to ‘Land Cruiser’, because it is very cool. I went to Kumamoto Driving School, because it was the nearest driving school from my house. I like driving car, because driving car is very interesting and cars are useful. I go to school by train, but sometimes I go to school by my moped. I have ever paid a fine because of speeding.

Saori has a car license. She got her car license last spring. She has ever driven a car. She has an ‘ek wagon’. The ek wagon is silver and square. She has a bicycle. Her bicycle is orange. She does not like to go bicycle riding, because she usually uses her car. She thinks that she is not a careful driver, because she drives her car too fast. She has ever been in a traffic accident. The car accident left a dent in her car door. She wants brown car next, because she thinks that brown is very cute color. She went to Kikuchi Driving School, because it was near from her house. She likes driving her car, because she drives her car everyday and cars are useful. She go to school by her own car. She has not ever paid a fine.

Reading books

I attended speaking class today. We talked about ‘Reading books’ in the class. There were some questions of the theme. I talked with Kana about it. Now, I am going to talk about it.

I like reading books, because I can pass my time by reading books. The last book that I read was Ryuseinokizuna. It was a mystery novel. Keigo Higashino wrote it. I read it about a month ago. I took about two days to read the book. I liked it, because it was interesting. It was about three brothers whose parents were killed when they were children. The best book that I have ever read was Tegami. Keigo Higashino wrote it too. I read it about a couple of years ago. It was about brothers. The older brother killed other person. I like mystery novel and romance novel, because I can enjoy reading. I usually read one or two books in a month, because I have no time to read books. However, I want to read more books. I usually read books in my house, because I can relax in my house. I go to the school library about twice a week or so, because I have a lot of assignments. I usually use personal computers when I go to the school library.

Kana does not like reading books, because she is always tired of reading books. The last book that she read was Aozora. It was a romance novel. Natsu Hoshino wrote it. She read it about a week ago. She took two hours to read it. She liked it, because she was moved it. It was about a girl who lost her precious person. The best book that she has ever read was Koizora. It was a romance novel too. Mika wrote it. She read it when she was a high school student. It was about a girl whose boyfriend got cancer. She likes romance novels and romance comics, because she likes these stories. She reads books once a year, because she does not like reading books. She usually reads books in the train, because she goes to school by train. She goes to the school library about once a week, but she does not read books there. She does her homework and studies when she goes to the school library.

Free-writing: Learning with computers

I think that learning with computers is convenient, because there are computers anywhere for example, school, library, home, Internet cafe and so on. So I can use computers whenever I want to use. If I use Internet, I can get a lot of information easily. Also there are many convenience tools for example, dictionaries, translation tools, educational games and so on. I can enjoy learning with computers with these tools.

Parfait

After classes were over, I went to Hikari no Mori with my friends. We went to Rakeru to eat parfait. I ate chocolate parfait. It was a little big, so I had eaten sufficiently. My friends ate omelets containing fried rice and parfait. The omelet containing fried rice looks very delicious. I want to eat it when I go to Rakeru next time. After that, one of my friends went to driving school. I went to Joyful with another friend. We were in the same high school, and he is a KGU student now. However, I seldom see him in KGU, because we are in the different departments. Today, I met him after a long separation. We talked about various things, and we had a nice time.
