I think human relationships are very complex. Sometimes, we can be happy, but sometimes we feel sad because of them. I think it is difficult to understand other people’s feelings. Even though we may be good friends, we sometimes think differently/ we sometimes misunderstand each other. So I think it is important to talk with each other and try to understand each other. I want to go on a working holiday in the future. I want to meet many people from different countries and learn about their cultures. I think I can make new friends and have many new experiences. Also, I want to improve my English because I am not good at speaking English yet. I think living in another country is not always easy. I may have problems with people because we have different cultures and different ways of thinking. However, I want to learn from these experiences. I believe that meeting many people will help me a lot. I want to understand different values and make friends with people from all over the world. I am looking forward to my future. I want to challenge myself and find a new me!

Hello! Recently, I asked some exchange students, “How did you learn Japanese?” They said, “I watched a lot of Japanese anime.” So, I started watching movies in English. I already watched "Wicked" and "Spider-Man." They were really amazing! Now, I’m interested in "Avengers," too. I think watching movies is a fun way to study English. Also, I have other things I want to do. One of them is going on a diet! I want to eat a lot during our trip next week. So, I should exercise and eat healthy food before our trip. However, I really like eating, so it will be difficult! Last week, in English class, we talked about stress when traveling. I sometimes feel stressed because transportation is expensive. I want to visit sightseeing spots, eat delicious foods, and buy souvenirs. But I already spent/But I need to spend a lot of money for trains and buses before even arriving at my destination. So, traveling is sometimes more expensive than I expected. However, I still love traveling! I want to visit many places and make great memories. Normally we put movie or book titles in italics. When italics is not available, you can use quotation marks like "The Avengers."

I came across an online article about "The Risk of Colorectal Cancer." I would like to share some of interesting points here. Cancer has been one of the leading causes of death in Japan. It is well known that people over the age of 40 are at increased risk of getting colorectal cancer. However nowadays, it is said that the number of young people between the ages of 20 and 30 who develop the disease has increased drastically. In colorectal cancer, there are many cases that show no symptoms during the early stage. When it progresses on some level, you have blood in your stool, stomachache and abnormal bowel movement. There are some cases where weight loss and anemia appear. That's why, a stool test is very important in detecting colorectal cancer early. If you need further investigation in your health check, having a colonoscopy is vital. Especially, having a colonoscopy is highly recommended even though you don't see any symptoms when you are over 40. The most concerning/common symptom is blood in the stool. But some people make an assumption that is hemorrhoids and ignore it. When you occasionally bleed then it subsidies, it is okay. However, you must see a doctor immediately when you are bleeding repeatedly. You also should go to a hospital as soon as possible if you have stomach ache before bowel movement and you feel bloated and constipated. Actually, after a stool test during an annual health check this year, my doctor told me that I need a detailed examination. Honestly, I was so worried/concerned, what if I have colon cancer? Luckily, my colonoscopy result confirmed that I have no issue with my colon. I just became a grandfather this month and hope to see my grandchild become an adult if possible.

Today, I had a part-time job. It was really hard because there were a lot of problems. I can't/couldn't solve these problems, so I'm in a really bad mood. But I realized that I have some flaws. I want to do my best to fix these flaws. By the way, I decided to go on a trip to Hiroshima with my brother. I'm really excited, so I want to make a schedule/make an itinerary because we have so many places that we want to go. For example, we want to eat Okonomiyaki! It is a very popular dish in Hiroshima. And also, we want to go to Onomichi. It is a very beautiful city. There are a lot of stray cats because the city supports them to living safely there. And there is a place that is called "Neko no Hosomichi." It is a narrow path in Onomichi. People can see a lot of cats and artwork there. I can't wait for that trip! Have you ever been to Hiroshima? Do you have any recommend places in Hiroshima? An itinerary is a detailed travel plan or travel schedule.

I have a presentation tomorrow about Japanese and Thai slang. However, I haven’t finished preparing yet. I still haven’t completed my slides, and I haven’t done all the research I wanted to do. I also have a part-time job today. It’s a disaster. I’ll probably have to stay up all night again.

I’m doing my assignment now, but I am very sleepy, so I am listening to music while I work. I think it helps my brain work better. Today, I have two plans, and it feels a little challenging. However, I also have an exciting plan for my summer vacation. My mother and I are going to visit Tokyo Disneyland and Tokyo DisneySea. We are going to stay there for two days, and I am really excited about it. I want to ride the Beauty and the Beast attraction because my mother really likes Belle. I hope we can ride it together.

Today, I will go shopping after school. I want to buy some clothes because the weather is getting hotter these days. I need some short-sleeved T-shirts. Also, I got money(I got paid) from my job. I did my best, so I got more money than usual. It’s going to be a present for me! I will spend (some) money today, so I have to work hard again this month because I’m going to go on a trip with my friend during the summer vacation. It is really exciting.
