Fall term

Fall term will be over very soon.
It was faster to pass fall term than spring term.
I had never been to use English so much.
In fall term, there are so much English I have to read.
I worked hard to annotate texts.
Whenever I read one text, I always check vocabulary
I didn’t know, and write summary in margin.
As a result, I can catch up with my class mate.
I fancy that I always had ELP reader.
However in this term, I not only study but also
do other many things.
I met with my friend, joined in a certain project,
and did part time job.
I can lead a full time.
I hope I will also be able to lead a full time next term.

Is ICU strange?

Generally speaking, there is little funny
in Japanese university. Many Japanese students
hardly study in university, though they study
so hard in taking entrance examinations.
They dedicate their school life to the group activity
Or part time job in stead of studying in university.
This climate contradict the primary aim,
But they think it is natural for them not to study.
So, I talk my school life to my friend, they always
said to me “It’s very hard. Your school life is
disgusting, aren’t you?” But I don’t think so rather
I feel them so pity.
Education of university gives us may chances.
We can acquire the way of thinking for their studying,
while we study by only memory in high school.
It is said that “college thinking in ELP reader.
The way of thinking makes our life so rich.
So, I could choose good choice that I enterd ICU.
Though I have to study hard, because I can
Spread my chances. (162 words)

Now, we claim that the world gradually become
barrier free, but it isn’t true.
The world of barrier free start in where everyone
