My plan for December 31th

My plan for December 31th                                                                  2013. 12. 13

December 31th is the last day of the year. My father is going to China in December 29th, so There are just my mother and me at December 31th. Last year, my father went to China in 31th too, so my mother and me made Osechi (Osechi is the food that Japanese always eat in December 31th or January 1st.). But this year, we are not going to make Osechi. Because it is so troublesome to make. So, we are planning to eat dinner at restaurant in 31th. There are many restaurant, so we can't found easily. But finally we found the good restaurant. The restaurant name is "GINGA TETUDOU", and it has a lot of delicious food!! For example, crab, sashimi, sushi, cake etc., and some specially food for the last day of the year!! It is famous restaurant, so I can't wait for that!!



After dinner, we are planning to go to Karaoke. Karaoke is the place that people can sing song. Actually, my mother is good at sing, and she has a nice voice. She said she is going to sing "TOKINONAGARENIMIOMAKASE(時の流れに身を任せ)". This song is very famous, and I love this song! We are practicing songs that we are going to sing.

 

After Karaoke, we are going to watch "KOUHAKU UTAGASEN(紅白歌合戦)". This is a Japanese very famous TV program, and it has a match of the song. Most Japanese see this TV program at 31th. Many famous singer sing the song at this TV program, so it is nice and interesting. When I was watch this TV program, I always eat Soba. Soba is Japanese traditional food, and most Japanese eat it on 31th night (after dinner).
Then, I am going to sleep.



But 31th is not just happy day. In Japan, we need to clean the house. Every year, I was clean, but it was so hard to me. Because there were many dust, and I heat it. We need to clean house at morning, because at night, we are going to restaurant. 31th is very busy day.

 

I want to do and try many things in 2014. For example, I want to leave ESL before September 2014. I have a lot of things to do in 2014!

I hope that I can make nice new year for family, friends, teacher and of course me.
Also I hope everyone have good Christmas and new year!!!
See you next year!!

Christmas concert in CIS

Christmas concert in CIS                                                                               2013.12.6

Yesterday we had a nice Christmas concert in our school. I want to write about the Christmas concert.

In this concert everyone have chance to sing. Some people sang "heal the world", some other people sang "Soran-Bushi (ソーラン節)". My favorite one is "Soran-Bushi". This is Hokkaido traditional sing and people always dance when they sing this song. In winter concert, grade3-grade6 did this. They had a very loud voice, and had a nice dance. I like their performance.


 

Middle school, grade7-grade9 sang "Venid Pastores". This is Spanish song, so it is very difficult to remember the words of a song. At practice time Ms. Bone always angry, because we didn't have nice performance. But gradually our performance was good, because we had a lot of practice. So, yesterday we had a lot of clap from people.



My class 8-1, sang "safe and sound". We did dance too. Some people did bale, and some other people did hip-hop. I did tap dance, but I think it was not nice. Because I had a mistake for the step. Also, I can't produce a tap sound because the music is so noisy. But everyone gave to me (our) clap, so I was happy.


In my class, Nigel, Kai, Tom, Sophie, and Ayan made a band and performance at concert. Nigel, Kai sang a song, Tom played dram, Sophie played guitar, and Ayan played piano. Ayan said piano is first time to him, so he had a lot of practice. Actually, he's piano was good.  Everyone had a nice performance, but specially, Kai's voice was so nice!



I think many people were very happy and had a nice day (also me too), because we can heard nice voice and great performance. I want to practice hard and make a greater Christmas concert in next year.

See you next week!
