Natsumi’s English Comprehension Blog

Hi, everyone!   First semester is almost over. Time flies so fast. I could never go to campus in this semester, so I was very bored... Today, I would like to talk about my summer break and next semester. I have a lot of things I want to do during my summer vacation. First, I was planning to go to Korea with my friends. However, we probably won't be able to do that, so I decided to try to learn Korean instead. I bought the textbook in this spring and never used it... I think it's interesting to learn the language of your favorite country! In addition, it helps with my future dream. Second, I'm going to get my car license. I don't want to drive as much as possible, but I've decided to do so because it's more convenient for me to be able to drive. I will do my best! If anyone has a license, please give me advice.   I wish we could go to campus for the fall semester. I have a lot of things that I want to do on campus. For example, talking to many people in Engli...

 Hello, everyone!   Today I would like to look back on the life of this semester. These four months went by so fast. At first, I was very nervous because this was my first experience of online classes. I have many worries for example, how to use zoom, how to submit the assignment, etc. However, I got used to them now. Being able to study everyday with native teachers is a great advantage. I studied English while using Japanese with a Japanese teacher in high school, so I was anxious at first. However, speaking and listening to English everyday eased my tension. Also, my classmates are so kind and I enjoy the class with them! I have three things that I tried hard in this semester. First, I studied English with English songs. I love music, so it's the good way for me. Do you know "The Way I Am" by Charlie Puth? I listen to this song well recently. Second, I studied English phrases by using the text called " Mainichi-no-Eitango". Do you know this text? I recomm...

Hi, Everyone! The rainy season has started recently and it is raining every day... I'm a little depressed. However, hydrangea is beautiful!   My favorite holiday is Respect for the Aged Day. My maternal grandparents live in my neighborhood, so we often go out and eat dinner together. They used to live in  Saitama, but they moved to Ibaraki a few years ago. I often went to Saitama to meet them when I was young. I'm happy to be able to go to there again to attend university as a college student! My grandparents always support me. When I took the university exam, they encouraged me to lose confidence. With thanks to them, I and my sister gave presents every year on Respect for the Aged Day. We gave them a sake cup and a brooch last year. My paternal grandparents live in Fukushima Prefecture. They live in a distant place, so it's hard to meet them. However, we go to meet them on a long vacation. there  is rich in nature and beautiful! Fukushima gets a lot of snow in...
