Essay 1-01b:Who I am

Hello. My name is Asaki Kai. I’m 19 years old and I’m from Miyazaki prefecture. My hobby is to watch the ocean but in Kumamoto it’s hard to watch the ocean because there is no ocean nearby. I have to go far to watch the ocean. I don’t have a driver’s license, so I have to make friends with people who have a driver’s license.

I belonged to the rowing club since I was a first year student of high school. I really like rowing but unfortunately, I have a very bad backache so I’m not a rower in the university but I’m helping the rowing club.

I’m a student majoring in English because I love English and I want to be a Japanese teacher abroad in the future so I’m studying English hard. I’ve been studying English for about 10 years. However, I still can’t make myself understand in English. I want to improve my English so I’m going to stay with you for 6 weeks this summer. I have some questions about you and your country. First of all, how many people does your country have? I think your country has large number of people. Second, where is the most famous place in your country? If I can, I’d like to visit the most famous place. Next, is there a chance that I can row during the home stay? I know this is a very difficult question so if you don’t know whether I can row or not, please don’t worry about it.

By the way, how many people do you have in your family? I have four people: my father , my mother and my younger sister. My sister is two years younger than I. She and I are very close even if we’re in the far distance. As I said before I’m from Miyazaki so I live by myself in Kumamoto.

I’m really looking forward to visiting your country and meeting you. Please take care by yourself and see you in Summer.

From Asaki Kai.
