I think that my best friend is Hiromi. She is my younger sister. We are really busy so I have not talked with her for a while. However, I believe that our relationship is rather a sister than a best friend. When I compare with her, we have some similarities.
Firstly, we are interested in culture and language. My major is Intercultural Communication so I am really interested in cultures, and I really like to study English because studying English makes me a man with a broad outlook. Also Hiromi’s major is culture. She is in Spain, and she is studying Spanish culture and language.
Next similarity is that the type of men we like is exactly uniform! Whenever I watched her boyfriend, I feel scared because he looks like my ex boyfriend. We like the man who has big and round eyes and a high-bridged and shapely nose. I have to avoid having an affair with her boy friend and her husband in the future. Hahaha!
Finally, the color and the clothes we like are similar. We really like shocking pink and red. Also, a few years ago, we went shopping separately but we bought same clothes and shoes. All clothes and shoes are similar…. However, I believe that my sense of beauty is superior to her sense!
I love her so much. However, I sometimes want to have another sister who is completely different from my character and taste…………

Doraemon
I have been wanted to be good at memory work so I would like to have the ability to remember anything which I listen and learn such as vocabulary, people’s names, and telephone numbers! I strongly believe that everyone wants this ability. Probably, only the special robot helps us.
Have you ever watched Doraemon? It is one of the most famous cartoons in Japan, and it is broadcasted more than 30 countries so I guess you know this character. He has a lot of special tools in his four-definitional pocket! I think that the best tool is “Ankipan”. This is a loaf of bread but if you write words which you want to remember on this bread and eat it, you can remember these words!! For example, if you eat this bread before a test and quiz, you do not need to study!
However, one of Doraemon’s friends, Nobita, ate Ankipan too much before his test so he became sick and he missed a test. What a sad story! In Japan, scientists and engineers are approaching a big project to make new robots, and their final goals are to make a real Doraemon!! This is not a joke, and they deal with this project seriously!! Anyway, I am looking forward to meeting a real Draemon, and I need “Ankipan”as soon as possible!!

Talking with animals?
I like this kind of imaginative question! If I talked with animals, I would ask two questions to animals. These questions are “Can some birds talk with people without special ability?” and “Do you have a hobby?”
The reason I want to ask whether animals can talk with human beings is related to my miraculous experience. When my cousin was two years old, he suddenly said “Ryoko! the bird on the tree wants to drink water”. I felt so strange. Then I asked him why he thought that the bird needed water. He said “the bird asks me to bring water ”. At first time, I though he made fun of me but he kept speaking seeing the bird; what is more, the bird also twittered! Since this day, I have had a question that whether birds can communicate with children or people.
Furthermore, I want to know how animals relieve stress. People play sport, watch movie, and eat delicious foods when they are stressed out. We know that many ways to reduce stress. However, I am wondering that they feel stressful like people. If they control their desire and emotion, I want to know how they control their feelings.
I think that relationships among people are often complex, and it is troublesome. Moreover, stress of relationship sometimes attributes people to a serious disease. If we have ability to talk with not only humans but also animals, we become crazy! (a sarcastic opinion?)

She
I think that everyone likes songs, and everyone has special songs. I often listen to Japanese pop and I really love it but my favorite song is an English song. I would like to introduce my favorite and a romantic song.
Have you ever watched “Noting hill”? It is a really heart-warming movie and my favorite song, She, is used in this movie. This music is also romantic since the singer, Elvis Costello, whose low voice is so sexy, and I am all charmed by his voice whenever I listen to this song. Furthermore, he composed the song for the movie “Noting Hill” and he describes women’s beauty and how men need women. In addition, the word is straightforward so it is easy to understand. I believe that all girls in the world love this song. Boys! I recommend presenting your girl friend this song.
Notting hill is a real place and it is located in London. After I watched this movie, I had wanted to visit there. Finally, last year I went to there by myself. As I had imaged, it was really beautiful, and Notting hill is the best place in my life. If I have a chance, I want to visit there again. Now I have another dream, when I hold a wedding party in the future, I want to use this song as background music. Oh! I have to find a handsome, rich, kind man! Ha ha ha!

It was a beautiful day! and It was a marvelous date?
I really like a sunny day. When there is not a speck of cloud, I am really happy and comfortable. November and December in my hometown are always months of beautiful weather although temperature is low. There a reasons I like a suuny day.
Clear skies remind me of a first date on Christmas day. When I was a junior high school student, I had a date with my first boyfriend. It was a really beautiful day and there was not a speck of cloud. Although we went to an aquarium which is the largest in my hometown, we did not talk each other at all because we were so nervous. Although I did not talk with him, I really enjoyed spending time with him. However, few hours later, I got separated from him in the crowd. Though I looked for him, I could not find out him because the aquarium was so large and there were a lot of people. In addition, we did not have a cell pone. Therefore, I decided to come back house alone……
I don’t know where he is now but whenever I see a blue sky, it reminds me of funny first date and this memory makes me fun and happy. Therefore I like a blue sky.

Writing an essay and Saying " I love you"
One of my malicious American roomies said “Ryoko is dynamic and powerful so you are not seized with fear.” However, I am very scare of writing an essay and saying “I love you.”
First of all, I am fear writing an essay. Writing an essay is significant to international students because this is one of the most important methods to express our ideas clearly. However, for me it is so stressful because we need to use correct grammar, vocabulary, collocation, and so on. We have to pay attention to a lot of points. Furthermore, writing an essay needs a long time because of research. Research is so troublesome. It is so hard to find a books and journals which I exactly want. Research often makes me irritated. Nevertheless, I came here to get degree so I have to overcome this fear…...
The next is philosophical. I am scare of saying “I love you.” This word makes me so nervous. I am very straightforward so I like to express my opinion and I believe that express our feeling is valuable but I can’t say this short word. In my culture, the younger generation often use this word. However, I am worried that “I love you” become a cliche (a cheap word). I strongly believe that the meaning of “love” is so deep and only some people can understand the true meaning of “love”. Whenever I hear “I love you” or “Ai shit te ru”(this meaning is “I love you” in Japanese ) I feel strange.

Transportation system
There are a lot of car companies in Japan such as TOYOTA, MATUDA, NISSAN, HONDA, SUZUKI, MITUBISHI, and so on. However, there are also wonderful transportation systems in Japan.
In Tokyo, people often use subways and buses. It is said that people who live in Tokyo do not need have opportunities to use cars. The biggest difference between America and Japan is that trains run on schedule! Trust me!! I am pound of this. When you visit Tokyo, you should not need to use taxis!! You can go anywhere using a bus and subway. Be careful! In some countries, a taxi fare is cheap. However in Japan, a taxi fare is so expensive that I have never used a taxi in my life yet.
I think that using car is so convenient; however, we should use buses and subways as possible as we can to prevent air pollution but my hometown is Nagoya. There is a head office in TOYOTA and I strongly support TOYOTA. I recommend using buses and subways but in California it is difficult so I highly recommend buying cars made by TOYOTA!!
