Why I Think California is the Great State I was living in California for 5 months, and I still think California is the great state. There are three reasons why I love California. First, the climate is amazing. When I was living in Japan, I felt really warm in summer because it is very humid. However, even if it is summer, it is not so humid, but dried. That is why I felt comfortable. Second, a lot of people in California are friendly. When I went hiking in Hollywood, a person who I do not know hugged me for entertainment. In addition, when I was carrying bottles of water by skateboard, someone spoke to me, and she said '' you need a ride?'' It never happened in my country, and I felt really happy; therefore, a lot of people are friendly. Third, there are a lot of beautiful places. When I was taking the bus, I was amazed because I could see beautiful view which is totally not famous. Also, I went famous sightseeing spots, and I could relax because every balding is beautiful. Not only natures, but also buildings are very attractive; thus, there are a lot of beautiful places. In conclusion, California is the great state because of three reasons; climate, friendly people, and beautiful places. If you have never visited there, I strongly recommend you to visit. You will want to live in California. In other words, your life can be changed.

You will be able to speak foreign language even if you don't go to overseas to study it. Nowadays, you can study foreign language in your country. If you meet the person who says '' I'm jealous of you. You can speak foreign language because you had studied abroad for 1 year. I don't have much money to do it.'', you should think it's an excuse. Even if you live in your country, you can talk to native speaker on Skype. The question is why people go to other country to study language even they spend much money. In my opinion, the answers are they can learn other cultures and make international friends. If you think you have to go to other country to just study foreign language, you should change the way of thinking about it. I'm sorry I'm a little insane. Some people might feel uncomfortable.

Difference from English and Japanese It's quite different from English and Japanese. English is written by alphabet. However, Japanese is written by three type of languages: Hiragana, Katakana, and Kanji. Moreover, grammar is also different. For example, Verb comes after subject in English, like this: Subject / Verb / (Adjective) / Object / (Adverb). In contrast, objective comes after subject in Japanese, like this: Subject / (Adjective) / Object / (Adverb) / Verb. It's interesting.

Studying language is like sports Studying English is like sports. Because you will never be able to speak your second language if you don't use it. Even if you know many vocabulary, you cannot bethink immediately. Because you are not accustomed to speaking it. The most important thing is speaking and speaking and speaking, even if you make many mistakes. There is no person who can do this without mistake all over the world. Let's talk a lot!!
