My Birthday and Shukutoku Festival by Arisa

 My birthday is august 21st But  2 months later, October 21st, I was given big surprise and an album by my university friends. A lot of pictures paste and  birthday messages from my friends put on the albums. I was very very surprised.  I didn't know that they make it.  The pictures had taken since last year. Every pictures is filled with happy memories. Every messages are so moving. I feel so happy because I became friends with them. What a wonderful day!!

This is the wonderful my birthday album.

Shukutoku Festival was held on  October 22 and 23.
My seminar  sold cookies. The cookies were very popular so sold out soon.  It was unexpected and we were surprised. Then, my friends held on an open-air concert. He sang songs and played the guitar. The day was sunny, we felt comfortable. I sang The Blue Hearts' song, "Aozora"(a blue sky) with them. To tell the truth, I'm not good at sing a song but I sang pleasantly the song.
 After that, I met graduates. They work in a elementary school now. I talk with them and spent a wonderful time. I had enjoyable days.

We sang songs.

Sightseeing around Tokyo by bus by Kurumi

I went sightseeing around Tokyo by bus yesterday. It was as one part of our seminar's lecture for the purpose of learning how a tour guide explains the main sights of Tokyo in English.

 First, we visited the World Trade Center Observatory. We could see the Tokyo Tower, Odaiba and the Tokyo Sky Tree (is under construction) from there.

 Second, we went upstream the Sumidagawa River by a sightseeing boat. I was excited when the boat passed through under bridges!

                       ↑ It's a view of the Tokyo Sky Tree from the boat.
 Finally, we arrived at Asakusa and walked along the Nakamise Street. The street was crowded tourists! I bought a souvenir which likes cakes for my family there, and it tasted delicious so my family was pleased it!

                         ↑It's the Sensouji temple. There were many tourists!

It was the enjoyable tour for me. And I respect our tour guide named Miyata (He said us called him "Mr. Shrine"). He explained the sights in simple English. In addition, he answered any questions from tourists in English. But, it's amazing that he have never been abroad! How much have he spent time on studying English? I have to make an effort studying English more. And I want to guide Japan tourists.

Shukutoku festival!! by Takumi

Shukutoku festival was held on October 22 and October 23.

A speech contest was held on October 22 in Shukutoku festival. My friend Ena entered the speech contest. She talked about Hansen's disease and social discrimination. Her speech was so great! And she caught the highest award! I was impressed very much.   This photograph is her manuscript and certificate of merit.

October 23 I went to watch the display of Itsuki and Arisa and Yuto. They displayed the summary about recommended movies. And there was the display about the book of TIN TIN. Thir display was very interesting and great.

Later, I watched a dance and the Live broadcasting by the friends at night. They were very cool! I was impressed very much. But, I was sad because there was the friend who was not able to do a dance on account of the time.

I participated in a Shukutoku festival for the first time. It was very interesting and feels a sense of fulfillment. I want to participate next year Shukutoku festival! by Takumi

Shukutoku Festival by Misato.

I'm an executive committee of Shukutoku festival. My university festival is held from October 22 through October 23, so I worked in it.

Last year, I don't know the details of the Shukutoku festival when I'm a freshman.

However I've become a sophomore, so I must have a sense of responsibility. At first, I couldn't have any confidence that make a success of that festival. But, we managed to finish it!!

I think working is very hard, but we can experience a lot. That many experience memories is very important for me to live in society of Japan in the future. Moreover, I can get many friends and many memories. I'm going to do valuable both my friend and my difficult and delightful memory after this.
That's way I want to do it next year. I hope to be more enjoyable festival than this year with a lot of necessary people around me.
