Mainly the students like soccer. It is not only for boys, but also for the girls as well. It seems like mostly everyone has a favorite soccer player themselves. Also, swimming was also popular. For example, the professional swimmer from Japan Kousuke Kitajima was famous and was a favorite swimmer to people just like me. Not much people enjoy running, but I really enjoyed Cross Country in November 10. We Japanese boys are serious baseball fans. First of all, there a 2 leagues, Central and Pacific. There are various fights going on, each other being a fan of different teams in the same league. My favorite team is Softbank Hawks, and player is Pitcher Toshiya Sugiuchi. Luckily, my favorite team is in the Pacific league, and the serious fan love Hanshin Tigers, from the Central league. It means that big conflicts do not occur. I am happy because recently in November, Softbank Hawks won the Japan Series against the Chunichi Dragons, and reached the top of Japan. Moving on, baseball was not really liked by the girls.

In cross country, I wore proper kits, and waited on the start line. Last year, my best time was 13.06, but then this year I improved to 11.51. More than 1 minute. It was really challenging, because I did my best, and achieved this time. I was constantly motivated by my friends and my rivals. Last year the friends I saw on the other side of the course (means way faster than me), were now running in front of me. I did not have interaction with the boys from Ishinomaki, because they were both 8th graders. They were really fast. I sometimes went to a Japanese public school, and the Japanese students are really fast at running. In our grade, the Ishinomaki students were both girls, Misaki and Rinka, but I didn’t talk to them. My Japanese teacher, Mr. Kashima, was complaining about how the girls were full mark in a test they participated, and how to report it to them. I learn that the Japanese people were really fast, and I, as a Japanese human, would like to improve more and more on my running.

One of Japan’s famous traditional sport, is Sumo wrestling. It is just my opinion, but I think that the current sumo is boring, because Yokozuna Hakuhou (白鵬) is always leading himself to victory. Recently, there was also a Yokozuna called Asashouryu (朝青龍), and these 2 Yokozuna’s battles were famous. In the sumo world, my fan was Asashouryu, and when he fought with Hakuhou, Ashashouryu’s motivation reached its climax, and won the matches. Currently, I wish that the weaker sumo wrestlers start growing and be a Yokozuna. Another sport is soccer. In Japan, there is one league called the J league, obviously standing for Japanese league. In Yokohama, the team is Yokohama F. Marinos, which home stadium is Yokohama Stadium, which is located in Kozukue, really close to Shinyokohama, and Kikuna. Japanese players are getting really strong, and one SB (Sideback, wing defender) called Yuto Nagatomo went to the famous soccer team Inter, in Italy. Inter is a very famous soccer team which is made by the key players from different countries. The name Inter is for International. The last sport is baseball. Baseball was brought to Japan in 1872, from the United States, by Horace Wilson. As mentioned, there are 2 leagues, Central and Pacific. Each league contains 6 teams, with a total of 12. Below is a list.Central league: Chunichi Dragons, Yakult Swallows, Yomiuri Giants, Hanshin Tigers, Hiroshima Toyo Carps, and DeNA Yokohama Baystars.Pacific league: Softbank Hawks, Nippon Ham Fighters, Seibu Lions, Orix Buffaloes, Rakuten Eagles, and Lotte Marines. In this school, Nippon Ham Fighters, Yomiuri Giants, and Hanshin Tigers is the most famous baseball teams, and there are lots of fans from the following teams in the school. Although, I like Softbank Hawks, this year’s most valuable and powerful team is Japan.

I think I work well at home. I think I really did a good job on remembering vocabulary, and working on the actual french phrases and sentences. I think I needed to improve on organizing work, as well as changing my attitudes towards the subject.
