SEIHUKU
From tomorrow, my some Japanese friends and I will wear Seihuku, which is the costium for Japanese high school. The reasons fo wearing it are for making memory of the American high life and saving money to wash clothings. My friends feel that the life is bored and no excitment in the world. I don't understand why they got the idea wearing Seihuku from. When they asked me to put in it, I didn't want to do that becasue it may make a barrier between Japanese and other countries. However, my friends will graduate this year, so I try to think about it as some kind of job. My first job is to find my Seihuku which I dont remember where I put. I wish tomorrow wouldn't be hot because Seihuku isn't good enough through air.

September 1st
My life haven't changed since my school started. I go to sleep at 11 and get up at 5. I am surprised that I just sleep 6 hours. I don't think it's short, but I should boast myself that I could continue to do this life-style for 2 weeks. Fortunately, drowsiness doesn't effect my school, so I could get good grades on tests except PRE-CALCULUS. This subject is kind of hard becasue I need to memorize small details and to solve questions carefully. So, my resolution is to get A in this class. Although this class is hard, I feel that the teacher is great and I like this class and subject.
I finally started to work on SAT becasue I will take the test next year.
This is much harder than Pre-Cal, but I enjoy reading it. So, I wish I could read good
writing on the next year's test. If I could continue to the life style, which I explained above, I might get a good score on SAT someday.

Do I have summer?
I dicided to read 100 books for a year and I finished 5 or 6 of them. The reasons to read books are my friend recommendation. He told me that the most important thing to learn languege is to read a lot of books. It is exactly what Beth-san said. I always asked someone how I study English. However I didn't try to do them until a month ago.

My favorite cuisine is Chinese because it is made of a lot of sea food, meats, and vegetables. It is different from Japanese cuisine and I am impressed by the Chinese taste. Japanese food is light and weak while Chinese one is thick and tasty. A Chinese dish can be divided by 10 kinds of taste depends on restaurant. Each cuisine has particular recipe and taste is completely different. So, there are uncountable dishes in China. When considering why Chinese food is so tasty, I notice two main points: ingredients and spices.
China is really big country that farms as well as fish, so they are able to make many ingredients. Over 300 million of people in China work in agriculture. China mainly produces the following: rice, wheat, potatoes, tea, pork, barley, and fish. Ten percent of China’s land can produce enough food to support twenty percent of the world population. In addition to China’s wide production of ingredients, China is a country that makes a wide variety of dishes. Because each state in China produces a different style of food, each taste represents a different society and culture.
A traditional meal in China consists of 108 dishes called “Manchu Han Imperial Feast.” When wealthy people celebrate, they eat 108 dishes to spread over the course of a couple of days. When they make these foods, they have to use seasonings and spices to add character to each dish. Usually, eleven spices are based on Chinese dishes. Even though Chinese dishes are simple, exquisite taste come from it. In preparing the “Manchu Han Imperial Feast” there must a lot of creativity so that just the basic eleven spices can make such a big feast.
Because of the reasons listed above, I realize why Chinese food is called the best food in the world. The process of making Chinese dishes is so elaborate and those masters of Chinese cuisine must have gone a really long way to make it. I like to go Chinese restaurant to eat food as well as cook Chinese cuisine myself. I aspire to make a delicious Chinese-Japanese Sushi someday.

My Favorite Bedroom
My bedroom is not the same as American-style because I don’t use a bed. In Japan, people use futon which is kind of bed on a particular ground which is called tatami. A tatami is a traditional Japanese floor made out of a type of grass. Tatami floors keep the room cool and deodorized, which is very nice during the humid Japanese summers. A tatami room can also be a living room, with just a table as an addition, because Japanese people eat while sitting on the floor. Every morning, we put up our futons so they don’t get in the way as we walk around and do our work in our rooms. Every night, we put down our futons to sleep. Futons are not only convenient for small spaces, but good for our backs and health. I find that when I sleep on a soft bed, my back hurts, whereas when I sleep on a futon, I feel great in the mornings.
When I came to America, I was shocked that there was no tatami and I couldn’t believe that I would sleep on the bed. For a few days, I wasn’t able to sleep through the night and I struggled with sleeping on a bed. I didn’t like the soft feeling but I got used to sleeping on an American bed as well as the constant back pains. This didn’t last for long. Since the following incident happened, I haven’t slept on an American bed. A month ago, when I was trying to sleep on it, it made sounds like the bed was really old. Then I thought that I should change it soon. One night, when I was having a dream, suddenly the house began to tremble and collapsed. I woke up screaming, “This is a big earthquake!” Everyone came to my room. I thought it was an earthquake but my bed had just collapsed. The next day, I slept on the ground with my futon because I didn’t want to have that experience again. I still sleep on a futon and I don’t have back problems every morning. Every morning, I put up my futon to make my room clear. Every night, I put down my futon to sleep. This habitual routine provides good exercise and helps me maintain a daily schedule.
I tried to do things the American way but I still believe that the futon is absolutely better than the bed.
