Como esta. Last week I went to the actor's school at Yutenji on Tuesday and Thursday morning. I also went to the theater to see the play at Roppongi in one of my classes. On Saturday I moved to Tsunashima with my mother, so I was busy preparing almost all days last week. But it's nice to me that it takes about 30
minutes to get to the actor's studio and 50 minutes to school.
I'm glad to see you again in this class. Yuya Honda
Como esta. I am very pleased to see Mr. Richardson again. This summer- is- coming time of the year I quite like. http://home4.highway.ne.jp/manami/suneo/snrepo00autumn.htm#09/10 . the time that does not force me to do anything.

Last Satuaday, I went to Yokota Base because one of my friends invited me to have dinner and see a film at Yokota base. It was 4th times for me to go there and I like the place because I can feel as if I am in America. We exchanged yen into dollars first, then we ate dinner at a restaurant, by the way I ate big roast beef and it was so delicious. After the meal, we went to a movie theater and saw the film " The Houres". I spend good Satuaday night.
Hard to Make Good Relationship with Clients
By Mizuho Ueno
Last Sunday as usually I do, I did a part-time job in the chyukagai, the china town. I work at Heichinrou which is the oldest restaurant in the chinese town three days in a week. My work is not serving food but receiving call from consumers. Of course, the contents of telephone are various from reservations to complaints. Usually three people who work as receiver of telephone. And the morning the person who ate and bought souverior at our restaurant called us. He said there was a piece of plastic in souvenior but my cowoker said wrogly we did not sell such a food. So he angered and call us again complainig with her attitude. Our boss accused her and resign her. I was vvery surprised at the news and thought it's too hard to get along with client.

Yesterday, I went to Kodoo-no-Kuni (a Children World?). I haven't been there since I was in 6th grade,so I was kind of excited.
We arrived there around 3:00 and payed 600 yen to enter.
In Kodomo-no Kuni, there are boats, cyclings, and some animals like a cow or a pony to see. We wanted to row a boat but it was already closed. So we decided to do the cycling instead, but it was also closed. Plus, all the animals were already in there home and we couldn't see them....
It seemed that the reasons of it is because since it's a Children World, it close early. Children must go home early.
I wonder why we went there for.. Just for walking??? Well that was a good exercise. I might have gained 2kg.
Oops. I forgot to type in my name. The message below was written by Maki Harada.
Last Friday, I went to the college for the first time. The class I took at the college was, 'Making The Music VIdeo With Computer Graphics'. I went with my friend who was also interested in making music videos. The class was held by a teacher who was a professional graphic designer.
It was very hard for me to make the video with computers because I'd never had experience doing that. Though, after the two-hour
lesson, I had managed to make 30 seconds video crip. It was hard, but so much fun!!
I am thinking of going to the college again.
Last weekend, I took a TOEFL test.
I did well in reading section, but I couldn't concentrate on listening section.
I don't think I'll get my best score.
PRACTICE MAKES US STRESSFUL
By AYA YAMAZAKI
First, go and see this page : http://www.ne.jp/asahi/music/shinkyo-wind/
I belong to this brassband. This group is organized with many working people who love music. I've attended this band since this April. I play the clarinet there, and tomorrow, we will hold our concert at Nakano Zero Hall in Nakano. It will start at 7 o'clock p.m..
So last weekend, we of course made our best effort to gratify the people who would come and see us. Last weekend's practice was longer than usual and it was eight hours long. I couldn't attend all of that because of school classes. At the end of that long-time practice, everyone got very tired. We were so nervous about what the conductor said that everyone could claim about that! Only one week before the concert, members got to be black situation. So I thought that too long practice makes people frustrated and stressful.
sorry I missed typing my name Mari
Next Wednesday I have to fly to Hokkaido in order to interview of the job.
Hokkaido is my home town, so my freinds and parents have been waiting for me since I told that by telephone.
Kind of the job is servise staffs at the Chitose Airport, and I will do my best on interview and paper test.
Hello,
What did I do last weekend? I was working at my part-time job. (><;) I was lucky to be working because once I got there, there was a big event going on. It was a ViVi Magazine event. The models from the magazine were there and for the closing act, Chemistry and EXILE started to sing and dance and I got to hear and see them live. It was really cool. Proffesional singers can really sing!! Kai
What I did last weekend. Risako Horiki
My friend came from Mie which is my hometown to have an interview for job-hunting. After she finished her interview, we had an appointment to meet in Shibuya. I haven't met her since I went home in January so it was nice to meet her. We are both having hard time finding job, so most of the stories we talked about was about our future. We went same junior high school and high school and we both have a same dream. We are best friends. She doesn't like Tokyo very much because it is so noisy and crowded, but we enjoyed the night.
