KAHO KOBAYASHI

 Hello!

 

I’m Kaho Kobayashi. I’m a 1st year student in Niigata University. I come from Niigata in Japan and that is where I live. I major in education and Japanese linguistics.

 

I took part in this program to improve my English skill. This is because my listening and speaking skills are not so high. I want to be able to speak English more fluently and confidently. I want to develop my English skills as much as possible at this program.

My favorite food is cookies, chocolate and sushi. I like anything sweet. I have a sweet tooth. I also make sweets by myself. I like spicy food too, but I don’t like sour food. When I have free time, I often read books. I read at least 50 book every year. I like mystery novels especially. I’m working at supermarket at a part time job. I enjoy working with people of various ages. I like to go camping. I usually go camping with my family and my friends during summer. I go hiking in the mountains and have a campfire. It’s best to relax in nature. This picture was taken when I made s’more. It consists of one or more toasted marshmallows and a layer of chocolate sandwiched between two pieces of graham cracker.

I will challenge myself to anything I want to do. I think this is my good point. I will keep trying.I often forgot something. This is my bad point. I have left my wallet in the train once. It returned to me, but I got chill.


Nice to meet you!

    It is amazing for me that you read 50 books every year! Also, I have went camping only around twice so I want to go camping more and more by reading your writing.

    Your love of sweet snacks & hiking are a nice fit because sweet snacks never taste better than after an hour or two hiking on the trail. My favourite hiking snack is scroggin, a mixture of sultanas, dates, almonds, peanuts, pumpkin seeds and chocolate I mix up at home before hitting the trail.
    So what hike are you planning to take on next? David :-)

      HI Chinatsu! Thank you for your reply! I think it is easy for biginner to make cookies. This is because you need a few materials to make them. Anyone can make them delicious.

    Hello Kaho,

    I was fun about your blog! You are hardworking student than me! I want to be you!

    In addition to it, you love camping and hiking, and lots of sweets too.
    Exactly, the nature makes you so happy and so relax in the fresh air.

    So, when you go to mountain or river, many insects are there.
    I do not exceptionally good at insects, but are you okay ?

    Nozomi☺

An newspaper company attacked by pressure group　Hinata Nishizawa & Yuki Sawano

Image
   Yesterday morning, Yamaguchi-gumi, a right-wing pressure group, attacked the Asahi newspaper company in Tokyo. As a result, about 20 members of the group were arrested. At that time there were 500 people who were working in the company. There were 100 people injured. There were no fatalities. They used something like baseball bats to attack. Due to this attack, the company was damaged. For example, 1000 windows were broken, and some articles were stolen. The cost to repair the windows is 1,000,000 yen. The group suggested that the Asahi company tells people incorrect news, so they attacked. The Asahi did not publish today’s newspapers. The prime minister, KISHIDA Humio, said “It is unforgiveable to attack freedom of expression. We need to defend it.”

Hello! My name is Yu Obata, please call me Yu. I grew up in Niigata, and I live in an apartment near the Niigata University with my twin sister who also belong to Niigata University. I'm a 2nd year student, and my major is agriculture engineering. To overcome the weakness of speaking and listening to English, I take part in this English-language course. After this program, I will be able to speak English better than before. I like vegetable, rice, meat, fruit, and everything to eat, but I don't like bitter one like coffee. When I have free time, I often watch movies, eat something, drive a car, or talk with my sister. Though I like eating, I don't like eating out. As a part-time job, I have typed what teachers said for those who are hearing impaired. It was conducted by Niigata University.  I describe my good points as having rich imagination. However, I have a bad point spending much time to decide something. I'd like to travel all over the world as well as Japan in th...

Hi, my name is David Woodfield. I live in Dunedin, NZ, together with my wife, Patricia, our dog, Neo, and our daughter’s cat, Beetlejuice. I’m teaching this course in fulfilment of my duties as a teacher at the University of Otago. My likes include reading, watching TV and walking. I like reading books about faith, art & society. As for TV, I enjoy watching romantic movies. I like walking from my home to my office and taking Neo for walks around my neighbourhood . I’m not a fan of waiting in queues, eating chocolate that has a sticky or chewy centre, or trying to figure out what’s wrong when my computer isn’t doing what I want it to do. As you know, I am an English language teacher. I enjoy my job because I am interested in language and I like working with people from a variety of cultures. As for my good point, I would say it is that I’m optimistic. My bad point though is ‘leaving things to the last minute.’ My goal is to be a better person.
