my favorite friends

I introduce my favorite people, a friend and boyfriend.

I have a friend since I was a elementary school student. Her name is Yuka. I and she attended same elementary school, junior high school, and high school. When I changed from one school to another and was unaccustomed the new school, she spoke to me in a friendly. Then we came to talk and became good friends.

She has a lot of friends because she is very sociable. She introduces me her friend sometime. There are many common acquaintances.

She always gives me a present on my birthday and has not forgotten my birthday present. She sends me e-mail at 12:00 a.m. on my birthday. It is usually first congratulation mail!

She has a brother, Takaaki. She resembles him greatly. He is a high school student, which is same to my school. He likes game, so he plays many games regardless of places.

She is good at sports. She belonged to basketball club as she was a elementary school student, to tennis club when she was a junior high school student, and to badminton club as she was a high school student. Besides, she play well table tennis,. And so on.

She went to technical school in Noboribetsu. She studies hardly to pass public examination.

Next, I have a boyfriend, Junichi. Junichi belongs to the department of fishery science. I and he are in same circle, Matsurinchu; it is Yosakoi circle.

He is from Niigata, which has much snow in winter than the part of area in Hokkaido.

I met him at welcome event that Hokkaido university was held before entrance into university.

I usually spend free time with him. I’m fun to be with him. He is funny and innocence.

In summer, we often went on a bicycle trip. When we are in his house, we watch the TV or movie.

He leave to Sapporo this autumn because the campus of the department of fishery science is located in Hakodate; which is the city most south of Hokkaido, so I am very sad. Therefore, I want to visit various place, eat delicious food, and talk about many things.

I am going to go to a spa hotel in spring vacation with him. I cannot wait!

I think it is essential to treat friendship as an important matter.

I want to be precious to encounters with people around me. Thank you.

my favorite family

I want to introduce my favorite people.

First, I tell you about my family.

My father’s name is Takeshi, he is 55 years old. He runs a motorcycle shop, “auto cycle Ito,” with his two brothers. There is the shop near my house in Noboribetsu.

As I was a child, I would ride on a back seat of his seat in a bike. Those were lovely time.

I often went to the shop to help the work. When I worked harder, my father gave me some money. Then I was very happy!

He likes playing the guitar and makes a band. On a holiday, he usually plays the guitar.

His character is funny but he often does not listen to what other person talks. There were a time I don’t like him very much because I was irritated by him, however, I like him now.

Next, I will write my mother. My mother is 56 years old; she is older than my father by one. Her name is Maki, she has a meticulous nature. She has not worked since she got married with my father.

My mother is a little strict person, so I was got angry sometimes such as when I came home at late night, and when I didn’t do what to do. Now, I thank for her to do so.

She is a good supporter for me. She helps me when I had a trouble. I realized existence of her since I left my country house and I lived alone.

Next, I tell you my older sister, Ayaka. She is older than me by seven years old. She works as an assistant in hospital near my country house. She lives with my father and mother.

I often play with her and talk about many things. On a holiday, I and she go shopping and go to watch a movie. The photo below is a shopping mall that we often go, MORUE. MORUE is in Muroran city. She has a driver’s license, so we go by car. We drive far place from my house such as Tomakomai.

When I am home, the time I spend with her is longest in my family. My room and her room are connected. So we are easy to go to each room.

I’m happy to be in this family.

Because I live alone now, I’m always looking forward to going back home.

I love my family!

my favorite season

Now, the season is winter. The season which I like the best is summer! I hope summer is coming soon. Today, I write about my favorite season, summer.

Summer in Hokkaido is not so hot, especially, my country town is cool comparatively in summer. The temperature is about only from 25s to 27. If I live another town such as Tokyo, Osaka, Okinawa, I might not like summer.

My hometown is in Noboribetsu in south of Hokkaido. I came to Sapporo last year, I was surprised because the summer in Sapporo is very hot! My friend said the year is particularly hot. Still, I remain to like summer.

I love summer for three reasons. First, you can go to beautiful sea! On a hot day in summer, I want to go to the sea. When I see the sea, I feel restful. The sea is very beautiful, especially on a sunny day. The surface of the water is shine, the sounds of wave can hear any time. Sapporo has not the sea, so I feel regrettable.

I like to talk with my friend in the sea. The sunset you can see from the sea is so wonderful!

The second reason is fireworks. The fireworks are a special attraction of summer. I always do them. They finish soon, however, I think it is the reason fireworks are beautiful. I like to watch rockets and also like to do it. There is a park near my house and I often do it there. Moreover, I like to do it beside in the sea! The sea in the night is so romantic. There are no lights there, except the flash of firework. I am particularly fond of small sparklers.

The last reason is festival. Festival is usually held in summer. I like the atmosphere of it. Then, I want to eat many food of street stall, such as a frankfurt sausage, a takoyaki, a okonomiyaki, a candy, a crepe, and so on.

Another pleasure of the festival is to wear yukata. Yukata is special; we do not wear it as usual. It makes woman look beautiful. Girls are often attracted it. I have some yukata, but I want to new yukata every year.

I go to festival in summer, When I was a junior high school student, I have been to five or festival in the summer of the year.

That is why I love summer. Summer vacation is necessary for me!

Which seasons do you like?

my favorite lunch

I eat lunch at a refectory in northern part almost a weekday; we call the refectory “Hoku-shoku.” Hoku-shoku has a lot of kinds of food, for example, curry and rice, noodles, donburi, and other dishes.

There are some refectories in Hokkaido University. Hoku-shoku is mainly used for people in the first grade. The number of seat is 1,000; it is the largest number of all refectories in Hokkaido University.

I have my favorite menu in hoku-shoku, I will introduce them.

First, it is hashed beef. Hashed beef is a daily meal that changes from day to day, so it is not always sold every day. I usually choose the menu when I found it. The taste is sourish and delicious. The size of it has three, S, M, and L. I mostly buy S size, but I feel it is not enough only it. So, I choose some other dishes.

Next, I tell dishes I often eat with a light heart. It is hashed potato. I like potato as a whole, especially, this dish is special! I was used to eat it every day. It is fried and the chewiness is nice and the amount of salt is just the right.

Another dish, it is pumpkin tempura. It can take in a vegetable easily and deliciously. The price of it is also good, 52 yen! I’m happy to eat it.

Finally, I introduce a dish, “cream cheese and a fried meat cake.” The price is 157 yen, it is very reasonable! When you take the dish just a little bite, cream cheese comes out from fried meat cake. The taste makes you develop into a passion. There is a fried-potato with the dish. It is one reason I like the dish.

Refectories in university are often held food fair. Last month, Christmas was fair taken place. There were a lot of delicious dishes in the fair, such as” hashed beef and ome-rice” (ome-rice is a stir-fried rice wrapped in an omelet). You can taste the two savors and the combination is very nice! I want you to eat once. You will realize the taste.

There were also the three kinds of Christmas cake, tiramisu, caramel cake, and strawberry cake. The prices of these were all 262 yen. I ate all of them at once with my friend. I felt so satisfied!

I have eaten many dishes in hoku-shoku. I spend enjoyable lunch time there every day.

Why don’t you eat lunch at hoku-shoku?
