First, I want to study more and finish this blog. Last year, I didn’t get TOIEC or TOFLE
test. I get TOIEC when I was a freshman at KGU. We have to get it because the test’s
result concern with our sophomore class. We were divided our class by the TOIEC tests
result. Moreover, I didn’t get some qualifications last year. I want to get secretary
qualifications, color qualification and travel agent qualification. I think that if I get these qualification, I can use them for employment. Now, there are a few jobs opening so we should have some different special talent which everyone doesn’t have. Next is finishing this blog. We have to finish 15000 words in this semester and this word number is larger than last semester. Last semester, we had to write 10000 words and then, I passed very hard time.

Second, I want to dance well. I do dance when I was a high school student and I was belonging to dance club. I did ballet about 10 years so I like to move my body and like to convey something with dance for people. I quiet ballet when I was a second grade in high school because I went to England. Then, my ballet studio had recital and I have to go just this day so I quiet ballet. After that, I do dance and I like dance better than ballet. First, I did Hip-Hop only but now, I do Jazz Hip-Hop too. Actually, I do Jazz Hip-Hop only now and I enter dance competition. Last year, I had dance contest at wanda-city in New Years Eve. We did dance only 5 peoples who were selected by instructor. We practiced every day and these days were very cold. Sometimes, I can’t move my hands but we didn’t give up. Then, we can get third position at the contest. After that, I gradually think that I want to be dance instructor. I have to practice more if I will be dance instructor. So, I want to dance well.

Third, I want to do filial piety. I have 1 old sister and younger sister and we are 3 sisters. However, I am a trouble maker. I had car accident when I was 5 years old. I stayed in the hospital about 3 months and I moved 2 hospitals. And recently, I had accident again. Then, my mother and father worried about me. Moreover, I enter some event so I’m late for come back home. My older sister is very quiet girl and she doesn’t go outside but I go outside often. So, I am trouble maker and my mother often said to me. However, she is always kind to me. so I want to do filial piety.
I do my best to grant my purpose in this year. And if I can grant these resolutions, I will praise me. I think that deciding New Year’s resolution is very important. If we decide this, we try more. I want to grant my resolutions.

Essay 2-03a

Hi everyone! Today, I’ll talk about my present university and how will be my university after 25 years. I’m Gakuen University student and now, I’m grade two at university. My university was constructed in 1942 and Gakuen University has very deep history. Moreover, Gakuen University is one of the famous universities in Kumamoto. So, if you come to Gakuen University, absolutely you can find your friend!

After 25 years, I’ll be 45 years old and may be， I’ll have some children. Moreover, my children will go KGU. I hope that the university continues. Then, I’ll compare present university days with after 25 year’s university days. First, I’ll talk about present university days.

There are many students in Gakuen University and they each belongs one faculty. There are 4 faculties in Gakuen Univ. and the department of commercial science, economics, social welfare and foreign language. We can choose only one faculty. In other words, we have to choose just one faculty. In the class, all teacher use blackboard and they write on the blackboard. They write important words or sentences in the board and almost teacher give us some prints. However, we almost study from the prints and teacher’s talking. Now, we can choose class so our school timetable is deferent each other. We can choose about 15 classes and we can choose some classes, which we are interested in that. Then, we have term examination and we have to come the school. If we absent, we can’t get credit. Instead of an examination, we have to write a paper but after 25 years, we can have examination at own house so we can get credit if we only study. In addition, we can have examination when we will be sick.



After 25 years, there are few students in Gakuen University because the declining birth rate is being carried fast. Now, there are about 7000 students in this university. However, there will be about 6000 students after 25 years. After 25 years, there are 6 faculties in Gakuen University. I think that faculty will increase because internationalization will be more and we will have to study many things more than now. For example, these faculty will add; the faculty of low, the faculty of communication. Communication is very important from now. May be, Japan government will try to raise many kinds of technology and then, we need other countries help. In this situation, it may be advantageous to me. Moreover, we have to choose two faculties this reason is the same.

In the class, we have class with an iPad so we will not use blackboard. We will use iPads at the class so we need not have many prints. We can preserve all things in the iPad!
If the thing will true, we can have the class very easy. Moreover, we can have term examination at my house after 25 years. If we have term examination at the house, teacher can keep an eye on them. Because, we will have term examination at PC and the technology will be well more then now.

I think that we will have more useful school life after 25 years because the technology will be well. Now, the facilities of Gakuen University are well. There are many PCs and there are many books in the library. In addition, we can easy to go abroad and study. I can’t go Gakuen University after 25 years. However, if I have children after 25 years, I want to recommend this university to my children. I will be able to enroll my children in Gakuen University because I know about Gakuen University so I can relief. Moreover, I think that Gakuen University is very good university. When I was a high school student, I have but image to this university. However, I like this university now and I spend very good time now. So, I want to spend these good times to my children and I hope that my children will be able to spend good time.

I choose these faculties because this is my hope and dream. If Gakuen University will be like my idea, we can learn more things.

History of dance

The history of dance may be as long as the history of mankind. We can only guess how dances looked like in earlier epochs.

An early manuscript describing dance is the Natya Shastra on which the modern interpritation classical Indian dance is based.

The early Greeks made the art of dancing into a system, expressive of all the different passions.

For example, the dance of the Furies, so represented, would create complete terror among those who witnessed them. The Greek philosopher, Aristotle, ranked dancing with poetry, and said that certain dancers, with rhythm applied to gesture, could express manners, passions, and actions. The most eminent Greek sculptors studied the attitude of the dancers for their art of imitating the passions

Throughout history, people have danced as part of religious rituals and social celebrations. It is traceable through many prehistoric documents. Court dancing has existed perhaps as long as there have been kings and queens. A brief outline might include folk, social, ballroom, religious, and experimental dance forms. One major branch of dance is Theatrical Dance as it has evolved in the Western World. However the dance that we can recognize and know now is ballet, which first evolved in the renaissance of the 1500s in France.
