420W Journal2

I study English in English language institute program now. I'm very happy to be here and study English here. Actually, I didn't have any plans to go abroad to study English until March 2008, but I felt I couldn't have conversation well. I am a university student in Japan, and I had opportunities to talk with persons who are from many countries in English when I'm in Japan, because my major is English education. I really like to talk with people, but I couldn't speak well. I always felt frustration when I talked people. Why can't I understand what they say? Why can't I speak what I want to say? I thought I want to improve my speaking skill. That was the incentive to study English. The other reason is I have to write my graduation thesis in English, so I'd like to brush up my writing skill and know how to write thesis in English. The reason I chose Canada is my teacher in my university from Canada. He was a student of UBC, and he told me about UBC. He also told me about Canada's culture, food, place, and people, and the story attracted me very much. In addition, the place I learn English is in UBC, and I expected I could have chances to talk with native speakers in UBC. For these reasons, I chose the program, and I'm studying English here.

420W Journal1

I have to write my graduation thesis in English. This is the reason I chose this course. Actually, I'm not good at writing so I don't like writing in English except when I write letters or send email to my friend. I have to read books to refer for my thesis. The books were written by someone. If they didn't write these books, I can't read them. Ican know about lots of things even it's past events from books. To write something means to pass infomations to other people with letters. It is very important to bring down the informations. We can't tell informations to many people and tell them correctly without some letters. There is a limit of telling them by only a mouth.What writing means to me is to record my research. I'd like people to read my graduation thesis and think about it. I think to write something is one of the occasions that we express what I want to say and what I am. Writing is a good way to be known to people about ourselves. These are the answers about these questions, what writing means to me, what is it, why do I do and what is it for.
