Chinese examπŸ“–

 


Recently, I have been studying Chinese hard because I am going to take a Chinese exam in November. The exam is called HSK. It is held twice a year in Niigata. I have taken the exam once. However, I’m a bit nervous because it’s been a while since last time and it is more difficult than last exam. SALC has a lot of HSK texts, so I often borrow them. Also, I can concentrate on studying in the place.

If you're interested in Chinese, I want to talk to you!!

【UP1】Reflection of Ms. Burtz's presentation

I learned that Ms. Burtz project has many benefits. First, regional revitalization told local people who cannot find attractive points of local. In addition, trail running is not only gathering people from outside, but also it serves as an international education site. I found that Ms. Burtz’s a project has positive impacts on all participants.



What most left an impression was the motive for her interest in social issues. She was shocked to see street children in the Philippines. At the same time, she became interested in social issues. I believe that we can understand the social issues of the region in the truest sense of the word by going to the region, just like she did. Thus, I would like to try working in an overseas NPO.



I was surprised that she has a goal to build a library. She held trail running in order to achieve this goal. She had collected funds and spread the region’s appeal to people who were unfamiliar with there.

She accepted brainstorming and she thought about what the local people wanted. I think that’s the most important thing, so I would like to add brainstorming to our group activity. By thinking outside the box, I think we can steer our project in a good direction. I would like to make a project in which the local people will work together.



My daily life influenced by her presentation. I learned that passion for what I want to do is very important not to waste time. In the future, I want to make a living doing what I love. Thus, I want to figure out what I want to do with my university life. And now the time is right, so I’m going to try various things and expand the possibilities.

The title of the song I have been practicing recently is “Don’t Look Back in Anger “. This song is very famous. I want to practice base more and get better.

Hello, my new friend!

 


Hello, I am Yamaguchi Ayano. I major in faculty of global and regional studies. My home town is Nagaoka city. My hometown is famous of Nagaoka Fireworks. I go to watch the fireworks every year with my friend. My recommend place is public square near Nagaoka station. Tourist come not the place, so the place is a little-known but good place.


I introduce my club activities in junior high school and high school. First, when I was a junior high school student, I belonged the track and field club. However, I don’t like running, so I was a player of long jump. Second, When I was a high school student, I belonged the drama club. I had never acted, but I had an interest in theater. It was difficult for me to memorize lines. The number of drama club students in my school is small, so I made props and I was also a stage director.





I enrolled in this university to learn Chinese because I like Chinese drama and culture. Also, I like Chinese food. In March of this year, I went to China town in Yokohama. I tried to order in Chinese, but I couldn’t speak it well. I would like to try the order again after learn Chinese in the university.
