I started to study English when I was an elementary school student. I like to study English, so I borrowed some English books. And I learned some English words. There was a English class once a week. We enjoyed singing a song, playing games, talking with my teacher and so on. So I liked to study English more and more.
When I was a junior high school student, there were a lot of English classes. My favorite class that we enjoyed talked with ALT. Her name is Holly. I often talked with her when I had a free time. In those days, I could speak a little English words. So it was difficult for me to talk with her. When I talked with her, I used dictionary, book and I asked my teacher. Of course, I talked with her in my school but I came back school, we exchange some e-mails. It was very interesting and exciting. Sometimes, I went to her house with my friend. At that time, we enjoyed cooking, talking. She taught us about her hometown and showed us some pictures in her country. I was very happy because I could know about her country. Since I met Holly, I learned a lot of important things. She gave me a chance to study English!
When I was a high school student, I decided to study English more and more. But English class was more difficult that junior high school one. But I like to study English, so I study very hard. One day, my teacher said to me that Will you take part in a English Speech Contest? I'm good not at speaking in public. But I decided to join it. I talked about how I study English and my favorite countries. I practiced to read every day again and again. I memorized about more 600 words. I couldn't get good results but it was good experience for me. And I could make good memories!
My friend, Misaki had gone abroad for about 10 months in Australia. She came back to Japan and I heard a lot of memories in Australia. So I want to go abroad in my near future. Especially, I want to go to Australia because my parents went on honeymoon. They enjoyed talking a lot of memories in Australia for me. Some day, I want to go there!
Now I am a Kumamoto Gakuen University student. I study English and Spanish. I study Spanish for the first time. It was very difficult for me to study but Spanish words resemble Japanese pronunciation. So I practiced Spanish words and speaking. Finally, we could introduce my self using Spanish. Spanish used many people next to English. So I study it more and more!
Now I want to study Korean. Because I went to Korea last September with my friends, Anna, Masumi and Chinami. And Masmi went there several times. Because she had gone abroad for about six months. So she could speak with Korean. So I envy her so much. And she is very good at it. I thought she looked so wonderful. So I want to study Korean.
Anna also study Korean. She looks very interesting. I have never to study it, but I want to take the class this year. I decide to study Korean at the suggestion of her. And I want to speak, write and listen to Korean.

Essay 2-02b: Group Movie Review
We watched Disney’s version of Robin Hood. This movie was released in 1973. So, we introduce about it and our favorite scenes.
First, Anna’s favorite scenes are Robin Hood’s disguise and bow game and Love. It was interesting for me to watch Robin Hood’ disguise. He is smart and dexterity about everything. One day, he disguised an old man; he gave a child the birthday present. I didn’t think that an old man is Robin Hood when I watched it scene at first time. He is kind to everyone. He is savior among his town. Next day, he disguised the stork, he participated in bow contest. He always deceives Little John, but his partner detected Robin Hood.
Next, he is good at to games bow. He can shoot at a target, no matter how it target is far away. Maybe, I thought that he will be able to shoot at a target to blindfold him. His arrow hit the partner’s hat at the first half of the movie. He takes part in bow contest, because the winner can kiss with Princess Marian. He loves her for a long time, so he fought sheriff to the very end. I also cheer for him.
Second, Kazumi’s favorite scene is a party for dancing in forest. But they sang a song which made a fool of John. And collection of a tax became severe. So we were very sad when we saw depriving a lot of money from poor people. But Robin Hood took the money back from a king. We were excited when villagers have escaped from prison. Robin Hood battled the enemy and finally he gained a victory! And they gave the villagers a lot of money what taken as a tax.
Next, the real king came back the village whose name is Richard. And he was endearing to everyone. Nobody stopped those who take a tax from the villagers. And they need not to worry about a tax. So the village returned to the original fortunate life. Robin Hood is a hero for the villagers. If somebody asks for help, I hope that he gives some their help. And we want the villagers to make a good living forever!
These are our favorite scenes. We enjoy watching this movie, so we recommend to watch Disney version of Robin Hood.
