There are so many countries that I have never been and I want to visit some of them. I want to visit Europe, epecially France.
I have never been to Europe, but I'm really interested in the culture. I found many differences while I study French and they attract my interest. France is in the forefront of fashion. So I extremely want to go to Paris and see modern fashions one day. Also I have some friends in France so I want to see them again.
There are a lot of things that I want to do during my trip. I want to make my dreams come true!

The Impact of Media
There are many kinds of media and many people are greatly influenced by them. I am also influenced by media, especialy movies.
When I was a high school student, a movie called "Life Is Beautiful" made me think about some things differently. This movie is about a family during World War II. The father, Guido and his son are taken to a concentration camp but he tells his son that the camp is just a game. He tries to keep his son safe with his funny ideas. Before watcing the movie, I didn't really understund that I was grew up in a good environment and think about my life deeply. However, many scenes in the movie changed my mind. The movie showed me that if we did something good, the favor would return. I also learned the importance of thinking things good way.

Cultural misunderstanding
When I was a high school student, I went to New Zealand and I have experienced some cultural misunderstandings.
One day, my friend asked me about whale hunting of Japan. She said, "Why do Japanese hunt and eat whales?" She thought every Japanese eat it as we eat beef, chicken, and pork. I explained to her that many Japanese haven't eaten whale meat. Actually, I wasn't really interested in it until she asked me.
Also I experienced a misunderstanding about Japanese greeting. Some people know Japanese words such as "Konnichiwa" and "Arigatou" and when they say that, they bow with their hands together. It looked very weird for me. I don't know why they believe that's Japanese greeting. I think they confuse it with Indian greeting.
There are many misunderstandings between cultures. I think it's very important to deepen our understanding of other cultures.

Being a sophomore
My freshman year is over and 1 month has passed since I became a sophomore. I was a little bit nervous about my second year in KG, but now I feel more comfortable than last month. I was worried about new classes, study abroad, part-time job and my life-style. and I can see some differences from last yaer.
In English class, I've got some new things to do. I haven't done blogging, English Central and graded reader last year and teachers changed. So I feel many differences in this English class. I think doing these works are good to improve my English skill.
I also feel a defference about my will to learn English. In this summer, I will go to England to study abroad and I have to study hard to get ready for it. So I will do my best!
