My mother made me go the school because there was it near my house. And my mother’s friend taught English in this school. I could learn English pleasantly playing game because there were many events such like Christmas party and Halloween party. We exchanged presents each other.

So I took Kanji examination when I was a junior high school student. Kanji is very interesting for me. Each kanji has meaning. But I don’t write Kanji recently. So I am going to take Kanji examination again to approve my Kanji ability. When I entered high school, there was much kind of Japanese classes such as Koten, Kanbun, Gendaibun. Koten was so difficult for me. I studied it hard before examination.

I read this book titled “How Elephants lost their Wings” This story is about flying elephants, two gods, houses, peacocks and banana trees. Once upon a time, elephants could fly. They flew everywhere. Then they broke trees and houses. So gods worried. On day, they invited the elephants to their house. The elephants ate and ate. When they were full, they slept.
