    ☆VOLUNTEER☆ I visited the famous shrine today. The reason why I did so was that I wanted to feel lives of nature and do volunteer of cleaning. Green leaves, the song by birds, historical constructions…I expected them to make me remember how atmosphere nature has. Actually I live in Tokyo, capital of Japan. My apartment is in the metropolis. It is far from nature. Though I usually enjoy my life here, sometimes I want to see and look back on the country scenery. That’s why I went there. The air of nature in the country was very different from one in the city. Though nature attacks us by disasters in some cases, it may be the sign that nature also has something troubles by human. Unfortunately, I saw a little trash which someone threw away in the area of shrine. I was sad and felt the sorrow of nature. I thought I have to be careful for keeping them clean and healthy and I joined the clean volunteer with my friends. That project was successful and we were satisfied with our activity. However, we have to keep this project and keep the promise of protections for nature. While we were cleaning the area, members could get good experience and conversation each other. To gather individual ideas or volunteer activities made me impressed and gave me good experience. I received something like power from nature and other members there. After holidays on Saturday/ Sunday, I have to keep studying in the university. However, this holiday would be good memory and I will be able to be dedicated myself to studying and experimenting because nature gave me a lot of power. I want to join the events or activities of volunteer again~!!!!

    My part-time job/I love music♪ I have worked for a piano school as a piano teacher(My occupation is a student of the university). After graduating my high school,I started working there. My mother is also a piano teacher.She expected me to play the piano so I have learned how to play the piano since I was 3 years old. To tell the truth,I didn't like playing the piano when I was at an elementary school.I was always compared with my mother's ability of playing.She always told me that she could play the piano well when she was the same age as me.That's why I thought I wanted to be absent of the lesson.However,she was very strict to me.That's why I couldn't do that. One day,I participated in the piano contest when I was 6 years old.I was really nervous and worried about my turn.And I felt the pressure.As a result,I did it well and got the prize from the master of that contest.I was really happy and got confidence.I realized my feeling that I like playing the piano and want to be a good pianist.My mother said to me,"the reason why I was strict to you is to encourage you to be a good pianist".I really appreciated her attitude so far. During my high school days,I was at a loss whether to choose a music college or a normal university.I was aware of the difficulty in being the top of pianists.My mother said to me,"You can choose the way to play the piano as a piano teacher like me,not a pianist".Though she hoped her daughter would be a good pianist,she advised me to choose the other way like that.I was shocked to hear that for the first time.However,I also felt my limit of the dream.Finally I gave up it. Sometimes I felt regrettable,but I can keep on playing the piano as a piano teacher now.And I could open the new door except playing the piano by choosing other department in the university.It is precious experience. I hope I keep playing the piano and give my students the spirits to love music.Actually,I always receive the great experience/expression from my students through my job. I really appreciate my mother,all of my piano teachers and students. I try to become a good piano teacher(but I'm an university student,so my job is part-time...hahaha).

    My question about English accent Is there a big different English accent between the USA and England? My listening ability is not good so I can't tell from the accent which each country has. My teacher at the laboratory in the university is from England.She speaks English fast and she asks me to speak English fluently while experimenting with her.It is too difficult for me to be like native speakers,but I try to practice as much as possible.However,my listening ability is still bad in spite of listening to the ESL programs everyday.I think learning is a long long long journey.That's why I should not hurry up in getting knowledge. All of students at my laboratory can speak English.Though they have different backgrounds,they have had something to do with speaking English.Some students have experienced studying abroad.The place were the USA,New Zealand,Australia,Canada and so on.Besides,others are really native from other countries.They have a great skills of speaking English.I really envy them and their stories of studying abroad or leading a life in other countries stimulate my enthusiasm in learning English.I feel loneliness because students who can't speak English is only me at my laboratory. Today,they were talking about English accent.They can tell from each accent in different countries.To tell the truth,I don't know the accent while hearing English.I think all of English accents are the same because I don't have any good ears.They are aware of my teacher's accent.That's why they understand where she is from.However,I couldn't know where she came from. I wonder if people in the USA notice and understand British English accent or not.And then,will different accent be a big problem to understand topics? Can I be able to tell from each accent after I will be a good English speaker? Actually I wanted to participate in other student's conversation about English accent,but I couldn't discuss it because my studying was not enough.I was regrettable... I wish I could speak English. My interests in speaking English will not stop forever!!!!

    ❀SAKURA-CHERRY BLOSSOMS❀ Hello. It's around 11:00 pm in Japan. I have already finished having dinner and prepared for sleeping. Today,I went to the park in Tokyo and enjoyed seeing cherry blossoms with my friends.I saw people enjoy talking,drinking and eating,some of pets running,sleeping and playing under the trees of cherry blossoms. Their beauty made me so impressed and gave me the power of challenging because they are dedicated themselves to attracting all living things. Now I have the aim of becoming a good English speaker.I know there are a lot of troubles to achieve it.However,my desire will never change because cherry blossoms cheered me up. Thank you,cherry blossoms! And I want to appreciate all of people who send me a lot of yells!

    My Friends and My English Now it's around two o'clock in the morning here, in Japan. It's about time when I had to go to bed... Before that,I want to write about my today's plan in English:-) Actually,I expected cherry blossoms to be in bloom last week because they have usually been in bloom on the second half of March. However,this March was colder than ever before.That's why cherry blossoms couldn't be in bloom last week. Yesterday I went to the university and I saw most of them in bloom there.It made me happy and I decided to see cherry blossoms at the place which is very famous for cherry blossoms with friends. I am excited and can't wait for it! I am going to take pictures of them and send my friend in Indonesia.He asked me to take pictures of them and send him.I definitely promised it! Though I have never met him in my real life because our first meeting was on Facebook,I am really glad to receive his favor and hear that he is really looking forward seeing pictures that I will send him. I could be friends with him because I can express my opinion in English a little.That's why I really appreciate "English" which can connect me to friends all over the world. Though my English is poor now,but I want to become a good English speaker someday and I want to say "thank you" for all of people who taught me English. Anyway,I will enjoy seeing cherry blossoms and upload their pictures here:-) Good night,everyone.Have a nice day~:-)❤

    ①勤める(つとめる)→この漢字は、「働くこと」を意味するときに使います。 日本語では、「働く」を「勤める(つとめる)」と表現することがあります。 例えば、私が学校で働いているとしたら、「私は学校に勤めています。」ということができます。 →「○○○に勤める」とすれば、○○○には場所(work place)の名前を入れます。例えば、「学校に勤める」「市役所(City hall)に勤める」「会社に勤める」などです。 →「○○○として勤める」とすれば、○○○には職業(occupation)の名前を入れます。例えば、「先生として勤める」「看護師(nurse)として勤める」などです。 ②努める(つとめる);この漢字は、まさしく[to strive;to endeavor;to try]と同じ意味です。 ですから、例文の「彼女は自分をうまく表現しようと努める。」というのは大正解です。
