Speech manuscript (rewrite ver)
Hello everyone. I’m Yoshitaka Ishikura.I’m a sophomore at KGU.Through studying English at KGU I realized it’s important to learn many things. Some of which are; I realized that facing a person and having the courage to speak is a good way to learn English through my college life.First I will talk about my experience. After that I will talk about my friend who inspired me and made me realize many things. In conclusion I will talk about what I will do with the experience.In spring last year I talked to foreigners in English. That was my first time having a conversation with foreigners in English. However perhaps I shouldn’t call it a conversation because I couldn’t understand what he was saying or respond in English.Here’s an interesting story at the moment.My friend said to me “What’s up?” when I met him.Of course I didn’t know the meaning.I said “wait what do you mean? What’s up? …..What is UP!” I looked up and said “it’s …..sky ”He was laughing at me. After that I knew it meant hello. After this funny incident I decided I wanted to listen better, speak better and know more slang.I tried to hard work to improve especially with my speaking and listening skills.After last year’s spring I could speak in English better than I could previously. It was still not good but I could greet the exchange students. However there was another problem. I realized that even if I could speak English , this means nothing if I don’t know what to talk about!Now it’s not such a big problem because I can speak better than before but at the time I was nervous and shy. So I couldn’t have a conversation in English especially with a person I just met. Now, I will talk about my friend who inspired me. She and I have the same major. She is full of energy and is nice to everyone. A thing I was surprised with is that even as she was talking with exchange students in English, her personality was the same.Her English skills were not much higher than mine.Her style looked really brave to me.I was wondering how she does it, and how can I talk like her.After a while I noticed that when she has a conversation, she always speaks first and can switch between funny and serious.I realized that being face to face with a person and having the courage to speak are important aspects of learning English. Next year I am fortunate to have the opportunity to study abroad. I will go to a college where I will be the only Japanese person. It’s going to be very tough to study abroad. However, I won’t be afraid because I know through experience that facing people and interacting with native speakers is an important and positive aspect of learning English.

Diary
On last Thursday, I had French test and it was the last one of finals. I don't like French a lot but last year, unfortunately, I couldn't pass it so I really didn't wanna fail it this year. I didn't sleep the previous day and was studying for it all night. I don't know how the test went but I hope I can pass that, otherwise I have to take the class again…
I was supposed to go to Fukuoka with 3 friends in order to see off a friend who is in NZ now. The French test was on 1st period, and he was leaving at 2:45 from Fukuoka airport to Narita airport. We left for Fukuoka by car at 10:30am, and I was sleeping in the car cuz I was tired and really sleepy. In the way to Fukuoka, we stopped a service area to take a rest. It was really clean and I felt kinda refreshed.
Because of fast driving and car navigation system, we arrived at the airport at around 12:15. So fast huh? We went meet to the friend and when we met him, he looked really sad. But I knew his feeling cuz although it's not farewell forever and he was loosing his friends, we can't meet each other for 1 and half year. Buuut!! I can hang out again for sure!!! So I'm not sad right now and hopefully he's so, too. Yeah, okay, let's continue. So when we met him, he looked sad, and at the same time we met his parents. They look really kind. Then they asked us whether we already had lunch or not, of course the answer was 'No'. Then they suggested us to have lunch together without them. I thought this is the last time to have lunch with family before leaving, but he accepted the suggestion somehow so we went to a ramen restaurant.
In the ramen shop, we ordered Hakata-ramen, which tasted really good. But before ordering it, we gave him special presents, which were original tumbler with photos and photo album with massages from his friends. He didn't look surprised but he looked touched. We were really glad that he was pleased. He promised that he will use the tumbler in NZ and he will cherish the album forever. After lunch, which was on him somehow, we chatted for 30 min. Then we moved to the departure lobby, and then we met another friend who was going to NZ too and our friends who came there to see her off. We took pictures a lot and encouraged them. Finally it's time to say good bye. I couldn't believe that he's leaving and I didn't want him to go! We were really sad but I wished him to get along with people in NZ.
After that, we went to Canal City Hakata, which is a famous shopping mall, and we spent time there. However, to me, it's boring. There's nothing attracts me except McDonalds. I just read some magazines and went to Pokemon shop, Weekly Jump shop, and so on, and met robot, which looks really real but it's just a man wearing robot equipment.
We left 5:00pm for Kumamoto because we were supposed to go to the farewell party at the dorm, which started at 7:00pm, but we couldn't arrive in time because some roads in Fukuoka were jammed. I could arrive at 7:15pm but the party was already started and I was really tired so I didn't go there on that time. I was there at like 8pm or something, so there's no food left and everybody was taking pictures and chatting. I was still tired but I enjoyed the time with my friends and exchange students. I really really don't want them exchange students to go back their countries, but they must go back home. Recently I couldn't go to the dorm a lot because I was pretty busy but I am now on spring break now so I'm going to try to go there a lot and hang out with them before it's too late. I'll miss you guys!!

I was supposed to go to Fukuoka with 3 friends in order to see off a friend who is in NZ now. The French test was on 1st period, and he was leaving at 2:45 from Fukuoka airport to Narita airport. We left for Fukuoka by car at 10:30am, and I was sleeping in the car cuz I was tired and really sleepy. In the way to Fukuoka, we stopped a service area to take a rest. It was really clean and I felt kinda refreshed.

I wrote this in other class.
Position of parents
This news said about bad effect of advertising of foods to toddlers. This is part of problems that influence of TV to children. Now that influence is proofed by many experiments. For example in the U.S there is a record that people made a limit for advertising about foods and made overweight children decrease.
However maybe there is some trick in this kind of results because this is about toddlers in this case. Who are giving foods them? They are their parents. If the subjects are school children what they buy is up to them. So they can say that they buy first food or snacks because of advertising. However in this case the subjects are toddlers so we can say that their parents should have the responsibility of foods for them.
In these days we see advertising about snacks and first foods many times. However because of this situation parents have to take care of toddlers who are in time that they get influence easily.

Diary
How’s it going guys?? I’m not bad. I hope you guys are fine. Last week so many people had the flu in K.G.U. Some of my friend got the flu and were seemed to be feeling really bad. I cared some of them at my house. Actually two of my friends stayed my house. So of course I stayed with them. I wouldn’t have the flu or a cold. I thought that how though I am. But yesterday finally I had a cold unfortunately. It was not so bad one. I knew why I caught the cold. After I took a shower on the day I wore only my pants and was watching TV. I guess at the moment some terrible virus or something like that came in to my body and destroyed my health. But fortunately I was cured with a night by myself.
In the first of this month I have been my home town to get Otoshidama which are Japanese traditional salary for children. I’m just a kidding. The true reasons I went back to my home town are; one is to see my friends who leaved my home town after they graduate high school just like me, second is to go to Seijinnshiki. Let me explain about that. Seijinnshiki is kind of ceremony to cerebrate a people who became twenty years old. Becoming twenty years old have meaning in Japan. After that they can drink alcohol and have smoke. To be honest most of them have experience of that before they become the age. Oh and one more thing. They have to pay tax to the government. I hate doing that for some reason. Fortunately I don’t have to pay tax while I’m a student.
What are good things when having a cold or the flu?? In my opinion having some water and getting sweat are good way to avoid flu. Someone said that if we do having a lot of water and getting sweat, the body excretes waste matter with sweat. And there is interesting news I found last week. The news told me that keeping off dieting helps to avoid flu. It’s pretty interesting, isn’t it? Usually people think that so many calories are bad for health and of course they think that it’s not good for flu or a cold. According to this news researcher had a experimental with mice to find out how calories will work for fighting a virus. And they found even though the mice on the lower calorie diet received adequate amounts of vitamins and minerals, their bodies were still not able to produce the amount of killer cells to fight an infection. I think that this discovery is really great. And I think that this is why bear eat a lot of foods and gets fat before winter come. So let’s get fat ladies!!
I met a friend at Seijinnshiki which I wrote before. She is living in Arizona now. She and I were in same club which is swimming club. She was studying Computer Science but now she is studying Psychology. A thing I surprised with that she is getting a marriage! I mean I surprised not because I like her. She have dated with his boyfriend for only three month. It’s only three month man!? It is so early, isn’t it? Of course I asked her why?? What makes you think so?? And what drives you crazy?? She said that ‘I don’t know.’ And she was stopping to drink alcohol and caffeine because her boyfriend’s religion. I got many advices from her of course without about marriage staff. I will study abroad this summer. So she told me that which credit card is good and some warning when travelling somewhere and some advice.
I am watching Harry Potter with my cell phone now. Maybe this is fifth one. But I’m not sure. There is a baby who is Voldemort (sorry for spelling) and ugly man who looks like mouse. And they are doing some service and finally Voldemort came back. He is so strong. He almost kicked Harry’s ass. But Harry ‘s parents showed up and helped him. Mmmm…..I don’t have things to write anymore.. What should I write about? My brain is empty now. Nothing is coming up. I am going to write about my favorites. Recently I like to play boxing. I’m not going to gym or something like that but I have punching machine in my place. So sometimes I feel some stress I punch that. I often read magazine. I think that Japanese magazine is one of great things which happened in Japan. And I’m reading a magazine called Hajimenoippo. This magazine is written about boxing. This is so exciting and interesting. If you never read this you have to read this.
