An amazing teacher ever!!!

hiya I'm gonna talk about my tutor at my high skol for great 3 years.

My class in my HS was called 'English course' and it wont b changed the class and the tutor for 3 years! My tutor was a Canadian woman, who has bn in Japan almost 10 years. For the 3 years, she taught us many Canadian cultures such as foods, events, and customs. Also she bring a big hand-made/or not birthday cake into our class to cerebrate some classmates who are birthday girls/boys in the month. it was so fun and we thought 'what a freedom and awesome class it is!!'

She was like our mum - always she gives us advices when we face to difficulties, if some classmates did not-good things like teasing others, she warned them and stopped it seriously. in her class, International Understandings, we experienced eating fair-trade goods, lending actual money for those who really need money to live their life in the 3rd world... We had a Halloween party, Christmas party, the English camp which she had prepared almost all by herself for us, International parties with exchange students as well. Our great 3 years wiz her was really unforgettable! We all cant tell her how we thank her, how we had been helped by her...

on our graduation day, after the ceremony, she showed us a slide show appearing pictures of our 3 years with nice music she wrote for us with her band! We all were so amazed, moved, and cried... She Is actually our AWESOME teacher ever!!! Thanks to her, our 3 years had bn so great, fresh, and loads of good memories!

With good memories and experiences for those 3 years, im gonna do my best on my 4 years at Kwangaku!! And yes, TRY SOMETHING NEW TODAY!!!!!!!!!!!!! xxx

Kwangaku - my 1st impression

Hiya my name is Kimiko and i just got into Kwangaku university this month.. What I've realized through this new life so far is that this uni is absolutely amazing than i expected! the view is very beautiful, feeling freedom, useful to buy something when we need it, people here have got their originality which inspires me a lot, and classes are fresh to me! :D

At the opening ceremony, i felt a bit nervous with a little tight suit and my new friends from all parts of Japan such as Kagawa, Oi ta, Osaka, Nara, and Hyogo.. but everything in Kwangaku is kind to me and now I'm getting accustomed to be here as a 1st student of International Studies department in this uni.

All of tasks are of course responsible for the student, not the teacher like until last year and so I've already made a mistake that i missed the deadline to apply for attending the class i wanted to take this Spring term.. It was absolutely my fault. it was shame but so I'm going to check the schedule carefully not to miss the deadlines anymore. :P

Also the facilities in this uni are so great I think. For example, the big library, the fast food - Subway, two additional convenience stores, Fujita global lounge where we can meet up with exchange students and watch the news from all over the world, and the big grass in front of the clock tower where not only students but also citizens who live around here can use to play and to relax.

Now I'm thinking about which classes to take and which circle groups to be involved..

I'm gonna do my best in my short campus life! XD thanks for reading! C ya xx
