Essay5 My Worst Day

My worst day was the day that I broke my arm. When I was a Junior High school student, I belonged to a Track and Field club. I liked running, but not any more because it makes me so tired.

One day, I was at school and running with my friends as a club activity. Usually, we start practicing in the morning, and finish running around one O’clock. The day, we run about thirty minutes, and did intervals 8 times. We were so tired, and we were going to run the last one. We started running, and someone who runs behind me stepped on my shoes. I was so surprised and didn’t understand what happened. I was so tired, so I fall dawn. Of course my friend running behind me felt down on me, too. I reached my hands on the ground. My friend I stood up and laughed a lot. However my arm hurt. I went to a sick bay at the school, and showed my arm to a teacher. She said me to go to a hospital, and I did. A doctor said my arm was broken. I couldn’t run until my arm gets better. My friend who was running with me felt bad. Her dad was growing trees of peach, so she brought many peaches to my house. I was so happy to have many peaches. I didn’t like running in the club, so I was lucky because I didn’t have to run while my arm was broken.

It was a bad day, but it was also a lucky day for me. (265/7126 words)

My memorable day was the days that I spent in America with my best friend. I went to T.G. High School, and they had a sister school in Clarinda, Iowa in America. Then I went to America to study abroad as an exchange student about ten months.
Clarinda is a town where Glenn Miller was born, so they have Glenn Miller Festival about one week every year. During the festival, T.G. High School’s brass band club students come to play Jazz music once in two years, and it was the year they come when I was in America. I had many good friends in brass band club, so I was so happy. My host mother said that I can choose one friend to stay together, so I could stay with my close friend about one week. During the festival, the guests were not only the students from T.G. High School. Many people from many countries came to Clarinda to play the music or to listen to the music. It was fun to see and talk to the people. T.G. High School students also had the time to practice playing music with Jack Million, a Jazz band which is formed by about twenty people from some countries in Europe. I went to see their practice and helped them by translating, but it was so difficult because I had not played any instrument, so I had any knowledge about music. However it was fun to talk with the members of Jack Million and watching the practice.
Anyway, during the festival, I could stay with my good friends in America, and had very valuable experiences. I will never forget about these days, and these are my memorable days! (285/6074 words)

ESSAY 3 ANIMALS

I like animals, especially, small dogs. I have a dog at my home. I wrote about her before, so I’m going to write about my other favorite animals.
My other favorite animals are birds. My grandpa has many birds at our home. The kinds of the birds that he has are white-eye. He gets up early every morning, and feeds them. When I was a child, he told me the reason why the bird is called white-eye. White-eye is called mejiro in Japanese. He said that Mejiro’s body is green, but the color of the part around eyes is white, so people call them mejiro. One time, I asked my grandpa if I can have one of his birds, but he said no because he thought that I was too young to have pets. However I really wanted a bird. I asked my mom to have a bird every day. Then my mom said ok. I went to a pet shop. There were cockatoos, parakeets, and some other kinds of birds. The parakeet was too big for me. It had a sharp bill, so it was kind of scary. I decided to have a parakeet. The parakeet was a female, and she had a yellow and pink body. It was so cute. I called her Pi-chan. I was looking forward to feed every morning. At first, I just had one bird, but my dad said that maybe she feels lonely, so he gave me one more bird. The bird had a blue body. He helped me cleaning the cage sometime. One time, when I was feed them, they rampaged. It scared me. When I was about ten years old, the birds died. It made me so sad. I cried a lot. After that, I didn’t have any birds.
When I see some birds, they remind me of a word, freedom. Maybe that’s why I like birds.(316/1690 words)

I could listen to some music that I had in the cell phone. However I couldn’t call or send any e-mail. I went to docomo shop, again. A clerk said that I can’t get new cell phone at the docomo shop, and she gave me a phone number to call. Then I called the phone number, and I explained why I broke my cell phone, and which kind of cell phone I used. About two days later, a new cell phone was sent from the docomo company. It was exactly same as the cell phone I used before. I lost my friends’ e-mail address, so I don’t know who sent the e-mail to me. I always said, “I’m sorry. I broke my cell phone, so I lost my phone book in the cell phone. Pleas tell me your name.” Now I know my friends’ address again.

My best day

My 17th birthday was one of my favorite days. I was in America, when I was being 17 years old. When I was a 11th grader student, I went to study abroad as an exchange student. I stayed with a host family. There were mom, dad, Stephanie, Julia, Nicole. Stephanie was same age as me. Julia and Nicole were 2 years younger than me. They were twins. They looked like exactly same, but Julia had short hair, and Nicole had long hair. That’s why I knew which was which. I always woke up late, so Julia always came to my room and woke me up even when I didn’t need to wake up early. They always get on my bed without putting their shoes off. At first, I didn’t like it, but now, I kind of got accustomed. They liked having party. They always asked me, “What kind of party do you want to have on your birthday?” I haven’t had my birthday party, so I was looking forward to my birthday party. On October 8th, it was my birthday. Stephanie took me to a house to baby sit some children. She liked children a lot, so she always took me to baby-sit. I liked that, too. After that, we got home. There were some friends, and rooms were decollated. They had a birthday cake that my friends made, and my name was written on it in Japanese. I was so surprised. They sung birthday song for me. I was so happy. I think it was one of my favorite days.

Then my friend was looking for someone who can have the dogs. The friend already had three dogs and some cats. I thought a lot about the dog’s name. At first, I named her Vivi. I said, “Vivi!”, but she doesn’t answer. When my friend calls the dog, she says, “Shiro!” and the dog answers. So I decided to call her Shiro. After my friend went back to her home, Shiro looked for her. I felt sorry for Shiro. I slept with her every night, so Shiro attached herself to me. One day, I went to school, but I worried if Shiro felt lonely. The day, I had 2nd period and 3rd period. However I went back to my apartment to see what Shiro was doing during lunch time. When I got home, Shiro was sleeping. She opened her eyes, and she looked at me, but she kept sleeping. She sleeps a lot. I think she sleeps too much. She didn’t like walking. At first, it was really hard to take Shiro for walk. She didn’t move! She was scared to go outside. However I took her for walk. Now, she likes walking. However, when she get tired, she stops walking. It’s cute. She is always cute, but when she pooped on my bed, I got mad at her.
