One of my favorite books is The Hobbit by J.R. Tolkien. I first read it when I was a junior high school student and I have read it again many times since then. It is a story about a hobbit or small person called Bilbo Baggins who lives in a quiet village but is forced to leave it and go on a great journey. Bilbo is my favorite character because he is cowardly yet also brave.

I live with my family in an old farmhouse. There are seven people in my family: my wife, my three daughters and two sons. My oldest son is 15 and my youngest is 4. My daughters are 13, 11 and 9 years old. My wife’s name is Jackie, she’s a teacher. My oldest son’s name is Rick, he’s a high school student. My youngest son’s name is William and he’s just starting kindergarten. My oldest daughter’s name is Patricia, she’s a junior high school student. Tina and Pam are both elementary
school students. I have a lot of friends. Now most are friends are at university. They are the people I see everyday at class and in my student circle activities. We talk about life as a student, relationships and our plans.
My best friend is my neighbor. We grew up together and went to the same kindergarten, elementary school and junior high school. We went to different high schools and now we go to different universities but we are still best friends. Yes, I do. I like to listen to American pop music. I like Michael Jackson and Bruno Mars.Their music has nice melodies. My favorite Michael Jackson song is “Beat it” and my favorite Bruno Mars song is
“Billionaire”. I can play the guitar a little. I played in a band in high school. I like to play folk and rock music on the guitar. I went to a music festival in Tokyo once. It was a lot of fun. There were bands from all over the world. They sang songs in different languages. It was difficult to understand everything but it was exciting. I think I am good with computers. I took a computer course in high school and learned how to use software like PowerPoint, Word and Excel. I also learned how to edit movies. I became more interested in computers because of this course.
I am good at cooking. I learned to make many different kinds of food in home economics class in school. I like baking the best. I like to make pies and cakes for my friends. They sometimes come over to my house for cake and tea. I would like to visit the U.K. because I like soccer a lot. There are many good teams in England. I’d like to
watch a soccer match there. England is also famous for Harry Potter so I’d like to visit places in the book. I would like to go during summer vacation so I can stay for a month. I’d like to do a home stay for two weeks and spend two weeks in a hostel or cheap hotels as I traveled. I like animated movies a lot so of course I like all the movies by Hayao Miyazaki.
I also like movies about space like Star Wars. I would like to travel to space some day. I do not want to be an astronaut because that is too difficult. I only want to see space with my own eyes. Movies about space are the next best thing. On the weekends I usually go shopping with my friends. Sometimes we go to karaoke or have dinner in a
restaurant. If I have a lot of homework I study. There are a few shopping malls in Okayama so they are good places to go even if you don’t have much money. You can just walk around and window shop. In the spring it’s nice to go to a park or garden. In the summer it’s fun to go to the beach. There are good beaches on the Seto Sea and the Japan Sea. I usually do my homework before I go to bed. If I have a test I study for it for a few hours. I have many things that mean a lot to me. First there is the desk that I have used since I was an elementary school student. I has all my books in it. My grandparents bought it for me when I entered first grade.
My next favorite thing is my telescope. I got for my thirteenth birthday. It is not so powerful but I can use it to see the planets and look at the moon. On clear nights I go out in the garden and look up at the sky. Lastly, I really love my smart phone. I use it all the time to communicate with my friends and even to do my homework. No phone no life! During the school year I study for a few hours but sometimes I have to work at my part-time
job. I work as a waiter three nights a week for five hours each night. After work I am too tired to do anything. I usually get home around 1am. If I have free time I watch TV or use the internet. I use LINE to keep in touch with my friends. Some of them study at universities in different prefectures so it is useful. Sometimes I watch YOUTUBE because I can watch videos of my favorite music groups. I click like to support them. If bands I like are on twitter I follow them, I like to read about what they do everyday. I can make comments in Japanese of course! I like some Western music but it is difficult to understand the words. It’s so fast! I try to go to bed before 12am but it’s hard to do. I usually read a comic before I sleep, so I usually go to sleep by 1am. |
