Exam

Exam                                                                                                2014. 5. 25

Hi!! This week, we are not suppose to write blog, but I have time, so I will write this blog with non-mark.

Today, I would like to talk about exam which will come soon. Every time when exam will coming, I'm always being hurry, because I want to get good mark for it. I think exam gives us chance to check our knowledge, and "how much did you improve this year?". If I get good mark, well, I'm very glad, because it is the evidence that I do hard.
Of course exam is not at all of my life, and maybe there are poor people even they god good mark at exam or test. It's just check point to make sure our effort.



To be honest, I sometime think study is hard especially now. Even I can understand contain of ESL class, but still I have something mistake at my grammar, or words problem. There is no people who is the perfect. People are increasing their knowledge day by day. It means people are suffering every day. Even they could reach to small goal, but they couldn't reach to big goal. So they are suffering and thinking. I'm still child, so I've been supported and kept by my family. But when I become an adult, I have responsiblility to support my family. So I will be hurry to save money and earn money. To study a lot, it will absolutely bring good result to future, so if I do hard now, I can fulfill responsibility.



Exam rules a very importent for that. So I think "exam" very carefully. Exam demonstrate our level and it will help us which pard do you understand or which part do you think hardest. Then, if you do review, your study will improve.

This week, I will  stop at here, but I hope every one will be happy of their mark:)

Over night school trip 2014

Over night school trip 2014                                                            2014. 5.17

Hi!! Today, I would like to talk about my overnight school trip which had in 5.14.2014 ~ 5.16.2014. We had been to Northstar which is in Nagano province. Air was serine and I could feel very refreshing.



We were living there for 3 days. We had different activity on each days. All of them was including "cooperation, "trust", "team work", and "leadership". At first day, we had some easy and funny activity. What is particularly best memory of those activities was race between homeroom. Our homeroom, Unicorn showed an awesome cooperation, and finally we won the game. After activity, we ate dinner. Then we had a free time. In free time, I had a conversation with my friends and we spent good time.



Unfortunately, second day was rainy day. Even though, we had hiking. It was very hard, and I was almost getting sick. At morning, after breakfast, we had one more activity race between homeroom. Subject was that we need to complete the mission which staff gave us. There were 10 missions, but our homeroom couldn't finish all. What is the most important and made us to being winner is "leadership" and "cooporation". All of the activities that we did need those thing, and without them we couldn't achieve goal. Everyone thought better way to complete mission, took a leadership, had a communication, and did activity enthusiastically. Even it was rainy day, we did really hard and we felt sense of accomplishment! But in afternoon, I felt opposite from I felt in morning. From afternoon, rain was going harder even though we had hiking as I said. I was getting sick because I hate rainy day in the mountain. I hate mud and soil which is very wet because of rain. When I stepped on that, I had goose bumps. But because of my freind's help, finally I arrive at hotel. As soon as possible, I went Onsen, because I was so exhausted.



Last day, we departed hotel at 9:00. Hotel was nice. When I wound on my arm, they gave me disinfectant and Band-aid as soon as possible to defend my injury go to the worst. I'm very thank for them. Before we leave Nagano, we had a last activity. We need "trusting", "responsibility", and "cooperation" for it. Northwest staff said "Without trusting and responsiblity, you will hurt somebody. It will be your responsible. So be careful. And this game needs trusting. You will entrust your body to your partner. So trust them. Without trusting it will make thing worst." I trusted my partner, and my partner trusted me. After all activity, we departed Nagano and went to home.


So, it was nice 3 days and activity was awesome too. My roommate was good, and we had nice night:) We played poker, Uno, etc.. Ya, so 3 days were totally good, and I hope this funny school trip will upcoming on next year:)!!

Do we need gym in this school???

Do we need gym in this school???　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　2014. 5. 12

Somehow, recently I notice people are talking about gym. In our school, CIS, students really want to move their body, and somehow, they like P.E (physical education) very much. I think physical education is important as reading, writing, or math, but to say the truth I hate P.E. It bothered me a lot.



Even I hate P.E, but most people like it. So they often say "CIS should make a gym!!" or "CIS must educate our physical more!!" Me and teachers going to get sick to hearing that, so our English teacher Ms.Ward gave us debate time to talk about "Do we need gym in this school?" I chose a disagree team, because I think to make gym is just wasted our money.




Firstly, in this school, about little bit over 100 people are belonging here. Most of them say school should make a gym, because they want to play a sport, and want to take better skill of physical. I don't dissagree with that opinion, but to say the fact, there are just few people are playing at gym in lunch time or afterschool. Most people are playing game in computer lab, or have contact, communication with their friends. Some of people are studying!! So even there are gym, but people will not use that as usuall.



Secondly is time and money. For example if school decide to have construction of gym this year, then approximately, it will take 3 years. (3 years include setting plan, setting budget.) So it means gym will complete on 2017. So in that year, G.12, G11, and G10,  will have graduated. If they paid money, it is just waste their money. Because they don't have chance to play at CIS gim, after graduate. We also can take their donation as contribution, but most of them don't want to pay a lot of money.

Thridly is cooperation and land. No offence, but CIS doesn't has so much land. Building are separateing, so absolutely there are no space to build a gym. So, there are opinion arised from some of students that destroy parking lot in B building, and use that place to build gym. They (student) really have positive thinking to sport, and play it enthusiastically. Even though, because of those unfortunate condition, discussion of to make gym will continue ever.



So I think, to make gym is just waste money and time, and also our fatigue. Maybe I must take a good skill for my physical education. Although to make gym for few students in over do and going so far.






Still we can respect them opinion though. To compare with CIS in Singapore, obviously CIS Singapore has better equipment and facilities. They have very big library, gym for kids, big ground, water fountain, and class room is huge, have good enviroment. I don't mean there are no good education enviroment here, I just mean we need more place or land to make our CIS TOKYO better. I hope mine and everyone's opinion will bring this school better.



So as my last conclusion, I am very disagree with to build a gym. Actually, few people will use this gym to see present situation. And also to play sports too enthusiastically will not help your study skill better or increase and focus on it. And the most big point is to make gym is just wasting money and time, and we can expect rally from some parents.




Thank you!!
