Today, a person who teaches acting to actors as a special instructor for class came to me. He said that unlike the general image of Hori Productions actors, there are many people who are more interested in various things than expected and want to take any drama content for now. I was a little surprised because I thought actors were choosing to play the role carefully. At first, I thought this lecture was about acting like someone, but in fact, it was a class where I learned how to think differently and perceive differently for each member through group work and simple games. In order to understand the other person in the process, I was able to learn that there was no need to over-impress or reversely obscure my values on the premise of the existence of various ways of thinking. I think there will be more opportunities to engage with people from different backgrounds and values in the future, but I wanted to be a person who could accept their ideas without denying what I learned today and to keep broadening my perspective so that I can communicate with others more openly. I realized that this kind of flexible mindset will also help me grow, both in daily interactions and in any creative work I may face.

Everyone has the potential to become a writer Talent may vary from person to person, and opportunities are important too. But without diligence and accumulation as the foundation, even if opportunities are right in front of you, you won’t be able to seize them. You mock Wang Jianlin for treating 100 million yuan as a "small target" — but when you also manage to get up at 5 a.m. every day for decades, you’ll realize: his wealth is actually not that much compared to his level of diligence. So in the end, it’s the diligent who reign supreme.

My life is on-going. I would like to meet more people and go around the world. Making friends and talking…..

Being able to talk on a wide variety of topics is really helpful for getting a higher mark on the IELTS test. In this podcast I will help you to form opinions and ideas for Speaking Part 3 and Writing Part 2. You can also book a private lesson with me on my profile. Hope to see you in a lesson soon!

Today, I went to Yokohama Chinatown for a class assignment. I joined the extracurricular class with my friend, and we were both very excited because it was our first time going there for extracurricular class. When we arrived, our teacher gave us a worksheet. The assignment was something we could finish in one hour, and we had plenty of time, so we decided to eat lunch first. We looked around and found a small Chinese restaurant that was cheap and looked delicious. My friend ordered kakuni fried rice, and I ordered ankake ramen. The food came quickly, and it tasted amazing. I was surprised because I had always thought Chinatown only had expensive restaurants, but this place was very affordable. After lunch, we walked around and found an ice cream shop. We both bought ice cream, and it was cold and sweet. It made us feel happy, especially because the weather was warm. Then, we started working on our assignment. While doing it, we talked, took photos, and explored different streets. Chinatown had many colorful signs, interesting shops, and delicious smells everywhere. It was fun to walk around while completing the tasks. In the end, we finished the assignment without any problems. I enjoyed spending time with my friend, eating good food, and discovering new things. It was a very fun and memorable day.

Yesterday I found out that I had influenza. It was a little surprising because one week ago I already went to the hospital when I first felt sick. At that time, I had a sore throat and a runny nose. I was worried that it might be COVID-19 or influenza, so I decided to see a doctor. The doctor checked me carefully and told me that it was neither COVID nor influenza. I felt very relieved, and I started to take the medicine that was given to me. Thanks to the medicine, I slowly began to feel better. My throat pain became weaker, and my nose was not so bad anymore. However, a few days later, something strange happened. I started to cough in a way that was different from my usual cough. My body also felt heavy, and I became very tired. I thought maybe it was just a small cold, but the feeling was stronger than before. I could not concentrate on my schoolwork, and even walking around the house made me feel exhausted. Because of this, I decided to go back to the hospital again. This time the doctor told me that I really had influenza. I was a little shocked, but at least I finally knew the truth. The doctor advised me to rest well and drink enough water. Now I am staying at home, trying to recover slowly. I hope that with enough sleep and care, I will feel healthy again soon.
