I am going to introduce my language learning experience. I learned Japanese, Japanese classics, Chinese classics, English, and French. I like them, and I am good at them except English and French. Especially, I like Japanese classics and Chinese character. It is interesting for me. I got level pre-2 of Chinese character examination. I will focus on only my English learning experience now.
I started to learn English when I was 4th grade in elementary school. My friend recommended GEOS, so I went to there. In addition, I was interested in English. In GEOS, we learned English with some games. First, I learned basic words with message game. For example, ant, gun, alligator, jelly fish, lady bag, whale, giraffe etc. Second, I learned daily conversation with music. Third, I learned grammar. I enjoyed learning English.
When I was junior high school student, I was good at English. I liked to learn English in class. I studied basic of Writing, Listening, Reading, Speaking, and Grammar. I always got high point. I liked to speak English, so when I found ALT, I spoke to them in English. I had to recite a whole page of a text, then probated pronunciation, accuracy, intonation, accent, breath, and my eyes by English teacher. It was hard for me. Then, I tried to English examinations. I got a level 3.
When I was high school student, I was good at English at first grade. I tried to English examination, and I got a level pre-2. I liked to answer the questions. In my high school, everyone go to higher school, so I studied hard. I answered a lot of workbooks. I had to prepare for tomorrow's lessons every day. One day, I couldn't follow the high level lessons. Gradually, I didn't like English. I didn't want to study English, so my point of English was down. I wasn't good at English. But, I had a dream to be a flight attendant, and I must enter University, so I studied English hard again. At the 3rd grade, I studied English very hard, and I answered a lot of workbooks, and AKAHON, because I wanted to enter the Kumamoto Prefectural University.
Now, I study English: Reading, Writing, Listening, Speaking, and Grammar at university. In Reading class, I learning how to read the English paper, and increase vocabulary. In Listening class, I listen to conversations of native speakers, and write what they speak. In writing class, I typed essays. I have to consider about paragraphs, constitution of sentences. In speaking class, I have to explain. For example, vacation memories, how to make something, position the box etc. By the way, I home stayed in America to improve my English skill. I knew my English skill is so poor. The pronunciation was different from what Japanese pronounce English. I had a difficult time communicating with American people.
As you can see, I learn English long time since I was an elementary school student, but my English skill is poor. So I need to study more. English is able to connect with people of all over the world. I want to communicate with people who live in another country. I'm interested in foreign cultures, economics, traditions, food, fashions, religions, and lifestyles and so on. English is important for me. By the way, I'm interested in French too, so I want to learn it more.

Essay 2-01a: My Favorite Place
I am going to introduce about my favorite places. I went to Minnesota in America this summer vacations. Then, I visited a lot of places in Minnesota. There are very beautiful places. I like Minnesota, so I decided to write about my favorite places in Minnesota.
Especially, I like Saint Paul Cathedral in Minnesota. It is big and tall building. The outside is fancy, like a castle of Cinderella. The inside is very beautiful. There are many stained glasses and statue of Jesus, Maria, and someone. When I entered there, I thought cathedral is like a church, because there were Bibles, benches, cross, candles, and special water and so on. In addition, it was so quiet.
The construction of this cathedral began in 1906 and the first services were held in 1915. Today, the cathedral seats 3000 people. The main dome is the largest dome in the world. It is 186 feet high and 97 feet in diameter. The 24 stained glass windows. There are four large mosaics that represent justice, prudence, temperance and fortitude. Round stained glass windows are called rose windows.
By the way, I have another favorite place. It is Lake Harriet in Minnesota. Minnesota has 10,000 lakes. The lakes of Minnesota are very large, so they look like the sea. I went to some lakes, for example, The Lake Valentine, The Lake Johanna, The Lake Christmas, and so on.
But especially I like Lake Harriet. I watched music band performance there with my host family. Do you know Blue glass? It is American traditional country music. I ate strawberry ice cream at there.
Then I fed ducks. Finally, I rode in the trolley. It was fun. I have never seen the trolley, so I was very excited. The trolley is like a train, but there are not glasses of the windows, that is to say, there are only frame of the windows. I don’t know why, but it is interesting.
That is why, I like these places. I want you to visit them if you can. I thought, if you saw them, you must be moved, because they are beautiful. Minnesota has a lot of beautiful and fun places. There are many trees, flowers, birds, and a lot of stars. I want to visit there again.
