I am currently taking a Sign Language class as part of my university curriculum. Today was a important day for me because we had to give a speech in class about a topic we like. I chose to talk about my trip to Okinawa that I went on this summer. Through for this class I felt that Sign Language is a truly deep and rewarding language to learn. I think the most amazing part of Sign Language is that we can express so many different emotions and meanings using only our hands and facial expressions. Originally, my interest in Sign Language began when I was inspired by watching TV dramas that featured it, and I also thought that mastering this skill would be useful for my future career. However, since I started studying it seriously in college, my perspective on what it means to be deaf has changed significantly. In the past, I simply felt fear when imagining a world without sound. I only focused on the sadness of not being able to hear the voices of my precious family and friends or the sounds of everyday life. But as I study more, I have realized that communication through Sign Language is incredibly careful and attentive. It requires us to really look at each other, which creates a sincere connection. This realization gives me strong motivation. I believe that if I can use Sign Language well, I might be able to help others in the future. Although there are still so many things I do not know yet, I am determined to continue studying Sign Language on my own even after this university course is finished.

I am currently working on a project at my university where I am creating a plan for a tour in Hong Kong. The presentation day has not come yet, so my partner and I are now making slides and thinking about the details of our tour. We are working in pairs, and several pairs are taking part in this program. If our tour is selected as a good one, it will actually become a real product and be sold as an official tour. Also, if we win the first prize or another award, the program will pay for our hotel and flight tickets, and we will be able to go to Hong Kong. This is my first time joining a project like this since becoming a university student, but my partner and I are doing our best. I really hope that our hard work will lead to a good result. Even if our tour is not selected, I want to feel proud that I joined this project and worked hard. I believe this experience will surely help me in future activities. Do you have something that you are working hard on right now? If you have I want to know about it.

Today I had a Chinese class in the second period, and we had to sing a song in Chinese in front of everyone. When the teacher first told us about this, I thought there was no way I could sing in Chinese because I even get nervous singing Japanese songs in front of other student.I hadn’t even chosen my song until yesterday, so I couldn’t practice much. I sang “Chiisana Koi no Uta” in Chinese. Other students sang Disney songs or songs from Japan and China. But I was not as nervous as I expected, and I managed to sing the whole song for about five minutes. After studying Chinese for two years, I could sing easily by looking at the lyrics with pronunciation. I feel happy because I could see my progress, and I want to improve my Chinese even more. I listen to many English songs, but I don’t sing them often, and I didin't sung in Chinese before. It's often said that listening to music is a good way to learn language, so I think if I listen to more songs in English and Chinese, I can improve my language skills even more. I will do my best!

Recently, I watch the Korean dramas again. I don't have a lot of time to watch them, but I try to watch a little every day. I'm not very good at watching long series like dramas or anime, because I always want to know the ending quickly. Even so, a friend recently recommended the popular Japanese anime "Jujutsu Kaisen" to me, so I am thinking about watching it. When COVID-19 started, I began watching Korean dramas at home, and that is when I started to really like them. I mostly watch romance dramas, and they always make my heart flutter. To be honest, I like Korean romance dramas more than Japanese romance dramas. These days, when I feel tired or want to take a break, I watch Korean dramas in my free time. It helps me relax and gives me a nice moment to rest. I also have some actors I like, so watching the drama is really fun for me.

Two weeks ago, our university festival was held on the weekend.I am a member of the festival committee, so I worked on the organizing side. My group worked with a restaurant on campus to create a special menu for the event.Since before the summer vacation, we had been thinking about what kind of menu to make.On the festival days, our food sold very well, and I felt really happy that our hard work paid off.Compared to last year, this year was much busier, and I didn’t get much sleep every day, which was tough.But now, when I look back, it has become a really fun memory🌟 The seniors have already retired, so it’s our turn to work hard next year. And I made more friends in the committee than last year, and going to the activities every week has become something I really look forward to. I’ll do my best to make next year’s festival a fun and successful event too!

Goodevening!Today the sky was so beautiful because of the full moon. 🌕✨ Today, I'll write about recent moments. This week has been really busy and tiring for me. Last weekend, my university held its annual festival, and I was one of the committee members in charge of organizing it. From the preparation days to the event I worked hard every day. I often stayed late to finish setting things up and had to wake up early in the morning, so I still feel sleepy even now. On top of that, I have many assignments to do for my classes, so I haven’t been able to get enough sleep. Although it was tough and exhausting, I’m glad I joined the festival committee because I felt a strong sense of accomplishment. Every day has been hectic, and since the flu is spreading these days, I'm not good feeling completely well. Still, I want to take good care of my health and stay positive and energetic.

I feel like winter these days, but still autumn now. Last Saturday, I went to an amusement park that's called Yomiuri Land. Unfortunately, it was rainny☔️Sometimes rides were stopped because of rainnig. The high and scary roller coaster was often stopped, so I thought I wouldn't have to ride them, but it started again at night, so I decided to ride it. It was very scary because of the cold. It is also an amusement park famous for its illuminations, so I was able to see the beautiful scenery while riding the roller coaster but it was really really sceary anyway.😭However, it's also special memory for me. And at there I ate a lot, for example ramen, crepe, kebab, and takoyaki!! I had a good time all of the day. It is difficult to keep the day open because I have almost part-time job on holiday. So the day was also relax time for me.

I'll talk about what I like to do these days! I found a lot of wonderful The Beatles songs and listened to them all the time when the way to school or at home. The song is used on Japanese TV show, and I especially like the song In my life. Moreover, the more I listened to it, the more I realized that The Beatles are popular because they are all songs I had heard somewhere. Another thing I like these days is eating. Anyway, there is a lot of delicious food in autumn and I eat a lot!! I'm very hungry after classes, so I usually go to McDonald's. After that, buy fried chicken at the convenience store and eat it. It's expensive and not good for health, but I'm very happy to eat after working hard.📖 These are my favorite things these days. What is your favorite thing these days? Please tell me☺︎
