Today I had classes from the third period to the fourth period. The third period was biology, and the fourth period was Japanese language education. In the fourth period, we gave presentations and shared our opinion with each other. I still haven’t fully recovered, and I’ve been having stomachaches. It’s really tough, but I’ll do my best.

Last year I went to Hong Kong with my friend. but it was not fun in there because many problems happened. First, my SIM card that I bought at the airport in Japan didn’t use. It was terrible. It was inconvenient because I couldn’t use my phone so I wanted to buy new it, but my friend said I think didn’t need one. And we did what my friend wanted to do instead. It was my fault that it didn’t work but I didn’t feel happy.

I’m going to introduce about lessons I used to take. I used to play a piano, do swiming and dance. I like playing a piano and swiming, but it were really hard so I stopped them. I went to swiming school after school. I often didnt’t want to go there because I was tired. Because of the moving I stopped piano. However, I regret I continue them.

I went to an omatsuri (Japanese festival) with my parents. There were a lot of people, so it was difficult to walk along the street. Many food stalls were lined up, and the atmosphere was very lively and exciting. We bought two packs of takoyaki, which is a popular Japanese street food. After we came back home, we ate the takoyaki together. They were very delicious, and the pieces of octopus inside were surprisingly big. I really like omatsuri because they are fun and full of energy, but it was a little too hot that day, and I didn’t like that part very much. Have you ever been to a Japanese festival?

Today, I had a test at school. I studied hard yesterday, so I think I did well on the test. I am very happy because all of my hard work seems to have paid off. I hope I can get a good score. I want to keep studying hard and do my best on the rest of my tests, too. I will stay motivated and continue working toward good results.
