May be, almost people’s first language teacher are their parents. Moreover, every parents thought this word to their child first, ‘Papa’ or ‘Mama’. My mother said that ‘I thought to you ‘mama’ first. I think that we are very happy because we could say the parson who born us and take our life. In addition, this is very wonderful thing. When we enter the primary school, we study national language and we call it ‘Kokugo’ in Japanese. We study at primary school many things, for example, Kanji, novel and so on. These things made us talk in Japanese easily but it is very difficult for foreigner. Japanese have many parts of speeches and it called in Japanese ‘Hinshi’. There are 11 hinshi in Japanese and these things made Japanese difficult. Moreover, Japanese have difficult honorific word so sometimes; I think that Japanese is very difficult. I have to learn Japanese during me alive.

I was very interested in English because I’ve never seen this language then. I studied very hard and English became my forte field. These things guided I choose English class at high school and university. English used many countries and it is official language. Then, we have to study hard English. English sentence made noun, verb and pronoun so English is easier than Japanese. English used many countries and regions but pronunciation is different at each region.　When I was a junior high school student and high school student, I went to England and Canada like exchange student. Then, I experienced different pronunciation. Usually, we pronounce English by American English so I pronounced English by American English when I went to England. Then, my host mother said to me ‘British English’s pronunciation is true’. I was very surprised but I accepted this words. British proud their English pronunciation and I could understand it. I want to master both of pronunciation and I want to spread my outlook.

Third, I’ll talk about my Spanish learning experience. I learned it when I was first grade at university. We have to choose one secondly language. I choose Spanish because Spanish used many countries too. It was very interesting to me but Spanish’s pronunciation was very difficult. When we speak in Spanish, sometimes we have to speak with a trill. This is the most difficult things for me. Spanish class’s impact is very big because the teacher is very unique. I want to study Spanish more but I like English too so I have to study both languages.

There are many languages in this world. I learn only 3 languages so I want to study many languages. I want to go France and Italy when I have free time and much money. I want to study very hard and moreover; I study various countries’ each culture too. Now, I want to study Korean very much because my favorite movie and drama star is Korean.

A volcano is a mountain with a large hole at the top. Active volcanoes can be dangerous because they can erupt, or produce very hot, melted rock.

Surprisingly, there are volcanologists and they scientists who have made watching Mount Etna their life's work. i don't want to work these dangerous working!

Now, It's not easy to know what the volcano will do next. Even with all of their studies , scientist still son't always understand what happening deep within the earth.
