Kyudo

There are many traditional sports in Japan. However, globalization is going now, and many young people are not interested in traditional sports. I love kyudo, a kind of archery. Today, I’d like to talk about kyudo.

 
First, it has so long history in kyudo. For example, Confucius wrote about kyudo in his book. The more you learn about kyudo, the more you become interested in the long history. Moreover, people in many generation play it, so we can make friends with many elders..

Second, it makes us polite. There are so many rules to play kyudo, and we have to keep every rules. Therefore, we become polite naturally and get “Yamato-Damashii”!

In conclusion, playing kyudo is not only interesting but also good for our maturing. If you are interested in, you had better trying it!

About My Hometown

Today, I will write about my hometown. I live in Tajimi now, but I lived in Midori-ku, Nagoya until 2 years before now. Thus, please let me introduce about Midori-ku.

The place of Midori-ku is southeast in Nagoya city. The town is very nice place to live in, and today, I talk about 3 good points about my hometown.

First, there is many place which remain the nature. For example, Takinomizu Park is one of the famous night view spot in Nagoya. But on daytime, there are many trees and plants, so we can feel relax if we go there. There is rare place which we can feel nature in Nagoya.

Second, the town has good environment of education. There are many parents who have a fervor for education, and there are many kind of cram school. Therefore, there are many young families live in there.

Third, the town is very convenient to access large shopping mall. Have you ever heard about “AION MALL in Odaka”? It is in Midori-ku.

In conclusion, I think Midori-ku is the best city to live in Nagoya!

Self-Introduction

 Let me introduce myself.

My name is Kyoko. I live in Tajimi now, but I lived in Midori-ku, Nagoya until I was in the 2^nd grade in high school. So, I’m not so familiar with Tajimi. When I was in a kindergarten, I lived in Seattle, U.S. for about a year. I already forgot almost everything about my life in Seattle, but I love U.S. and English still now.

              I have two older brothers. The oldest brother, who was 11 years old when we lived in Seattle, is good at English. He goes to Tokyo University of Foreign Studies now. I want to be able to speak English so fluently like him. And I also want to go to Seattle again.

              My hobby is listening to music. I like rock music the best. My favorite musicians are BUMP OF CHICKEN, androp and [Alexandros].

I love them and their all songs! When I was in my high school, I played kyudo. So playing kyudo is my hobby, too.

              Now, I go to driver’s school in Tajimi. It’s not easy for me to drive, but I want to be able to drive and drive to many places! I try hard to get my driver license.

              At last, I want to make many friends! Nice to meet you.
