Saturday 7.26

Yesterday was very nice day. I got up early, and I did assignment. Initially, I studied until part time job. However my mother asked me to go shopping with her. After waving, I decided to go shopping. My mother said me “I get you clothes”, so I made up my mind. My mother doesn’t usually give me something, so my mother was strange yesterday. However it was lucky for me. We went to Yume-town hamasen. My mother looked for clothes, and I helped her for looking for good clothes. My mother was satisfied. I could get some clothes and accessories. I was so happy. Then we finished shopping. I had to go part time job from 18:00, and part time job was finished at 21:30. When I came back home, my father asked me to go to onsen. And then we went to onsen. My mother and I met my friend’s mother at onsen. I was very surprised and laughing a lot. My friend’ mother is very funny, and she likes to talk. My mother and I heard her talking for about 30 minutes in onsen, so I got dizzy. However I could enjoy onsen. Then I could sleep well.

Studying abroad

I would like to write about studying abroad. I took an exchange student test. The purpose of studying abroad are improving my English skill and learning business in English. These are the primary things. I want to study abroad in Canada. Why I choose this country is I heard Canadian is kind and similar to Japanese. I have never been abroad, so I think Canada is good for me. Thus Canada is richly endowed with nature. I love outdoor, so the nature will bring relief for me. Finally I heard Canadian English is easy to understand. Also the college I want to go is in Halifax. Halifax is port city. It is easy to go to major city, for example New York, Boston and Toronto. It is attractive point for me. Saint Mary's college has good dance club team. I am very interested in this dance club team. If possible, I would like to try to take business, marketing, financial, marketing and global business management.

I don’t know yet whether I can go studying abroad. However I really want to go. I have to study more hard. I would like to study hard to raise my TOEFL score.
