Cute Wisteria
What's a Kohri-oni?
I played a kind of tag with my club's members on Wednesday. There are many diversions as tag in Japan. I played "Kohri-oni". It's similar to tag. Its rule is little difficult than tag. First, we must elect a tagger. A tagger has to touch the other members. A person who was touched by the tagger mustn't move from there. When the tagger touches all members, the game finishes. There are some local rules these diversions a kind of tag. For example, I know a rule called "Otasuke", but my friend who is from Fukuoka doesn't know this rule. "Otasuke" means "help". In my living area, we decide if apply this rule. When we apply this rule, the tagger has to play the game at a disadvantage because if a person who can move touches a person who was touched by the tagger, the person become to be able to move. It's "help". But we didn't apply this rule when we play in large area because the game never finished. We used this rule when we play in small area or the tagger is a fast person. So we always could feel good thrill. I think children are clever about diversions. "Kohri-oni" is interesting because we can't know well who was touched or not. So it may be happen the tagger talks with a person who isn't touched side by side. (230words)

My part time job
I have a part time job. I work in a Japanese restaurant. I can learn the many manners there. For example, how to behavior in a tatami-room, make shochu, speak to guests and so on. Shochu is Japanese liquor. I don't know almost manners. So I often fail. I was advised by a mistress, today too. I held out a dish to a guest from left behind by my right hand. It is wrong. When I hold out a dish from left behind, I have to use my left hand. The reason is clear. You will be able to understand if you image the situation as a guest. If a waiter hold out a dish from left behind by right hand, you will have to avoid to right. My working place's dinner is a full course. So if I hold out dishes by the wrong ways every time, the guest have to avoid me every time the dish come and may feel nasty. I have to care. A converse case is same. When I hold out from right behind, I have to use my right hand. I have been having this part time job. I wish that many guests who I have served didn't feel nasty by this wrong service. (210words)

Essay 2 -My Treasure-
My treasure is my family. I have parents, one sister and one brother.
My mother is a blunder. But she always does her best for our family. When I was a high school student, she came to my school suddenly. She came in the schoolhouse and arrived at my classroom barely. I behaved chilly for shame. She brought a vessel and a letter. She handed me it and went home. The letter was written as follows. “Dear Yoko. I’m sorry. Some shrimps in a today’s lunch box tasted wrong. I found it after you went to school. I’ll bring some meat in place of it. Please forgive me.” Everyone I told this said, “Your mother is great.” I think so, too. She will help me whatever may happen.
My father is an office worker. He commutes Hakata everyday by a limited express. He has to wake up early. He makes own breakfast himself and goes to office alone. But he never complained. Moreover, he does housework. He often helps my other cleaning on holiday. He is not only a good husband but also a good father. He says. “I will always be able to die if my children graduate a collage.”
My sister works in a home for the aged. I respect her because she is a hard worker. She studied while working and passes a state examination. She became be able to serve for an old person better. Now she goes to graduate school while working. She has studied welfare. She sometimes takes me to lunch or dinner or a cake shop despite she is busy. I respect her as one person, to say nothing of as my sister.
Older brothers love their younger sister generally. My brother does, too. He works in Fukuoka. He hardly goes home. When he called me, he wouldn’t ring off. But he is sometimes strict about my charge of my cell phone or studying. I can try hard then because I’m usually spoilt by him. My sister is older than I 8 years. My brother is older than I 6 years. I am youngest in my family. So, other family members talk to me as they talk to child still now. I don’t like it. But I never said so them because they never despised me. They talk to me with love. I can understand it because I treat my pets as child. (400words)

Last Sunday, I went to Aso with my boyfriend. We have been hoping to go to Aso till last summer. We leave Kumamoto city with no plan. After we arrived at Aso, we went to convenient store at first to read a travel magazine and decide where to go. We entered LAWSON. There many houses looks like Europe’s in Aso. LAWSON in Aso is same to my surprise. This picture is LAWSON in Aso. This is different from KGU’s one clearly. After we read a magazine, we went to Shirakawa-Suigen because we had felt hot. This is a famous source in Aso. There were a lot of people. Despite the source is near the houses, the source looks like a strange world because the forest has surrounded the source. There was very cool. We took some water. Before returning our car, we took a walk around the forest. There were some houses. They had a stone wall. So, the area looks like Okinawa. But it was different from Okinawa I could see Mt. Aso behind the houses. There were many interesting view in Aso. Next, we went to Kusa-senri. It is grassland in a highland. A view from there was wonderful. I could see very small houses below. I couldn’t see the cars because they were too small. There were many people. A certain family brought a table and the chairs and had a lunch. I envied them. We couldn’t such a thing because we went to Aso with no plan… After, we return Kumamoto. I thought I must plan next drive. (262 words)
