My club activities in my high school days

      Today, I'd like to talk about my club in my high school days. I belonged to two club, squash club and railroad research club.

      First, do you know squash? Squash is an interior racket sport originated in London, and two players alternately hit a small rubber ball whose inside is hollow. Players can play it regardless of age or gender, and a set of equipment is low-priced, so you can enjoy it easily!! Research by globally well-known magazine says that squash is "the most healthiest sport in the world". Calorie consumption in an hour is said to about 700kcal in normal players, and 1500 kcal in professional players. Compared to other sports, you can get enough exercise effect in a short time, so it can be said that squash is good for busy people today. There are only two schools including my alma mater squash club in Japanese high school (so rare!!) and my squash club members practice every Monday for two hours and I thought it was suited for me, who is not very good at sports. And in summer vacation, we join a three day training camp.

      Second, I also belonged to railroad research club. The club members make model railroading, and it is exhibited in school festival and model railroading contest in Tokyo. Many high school students in Japan work so hard to get good awards in this contest in Tokyo. In school festival, not only model railroading , but also pictures of railroad all over Japan by club members is also exhibited!! In summer vacation, all club members travel in Japan . The route of travel is decided by club members and we go to destinations by only local train ,basically. The report of this trip by all club member is also distributed in school festival, and each member writes good reports. I'm not familiar with railroad, but I found looking at model railroading interesting, so I decided to participate in this club.

     In both club activities, I made many good friends and get familiar with my seniors and juniors through many activities. I don't belong to any club activities or  in university, so I want to make many new friends by joining club activities!!

    Hi Hiroike-san...

    Squash is fun! I did a bit of it when I was young.

    This is a nice start to your blog. Good-looking paragraphs! I like it!

    In this blog, try to write A LOT each week, and make comments on other students' blogs. If you do, your English writing ability will improve!

    Sincerely, Joe Lauer

Happy New Year!!

      Hello, everyone! What did you do at the close of the year and the start of the year?       First, I ate New Year's Soba and Japanese New Year's cuisine. What do you like  in Japanese New Year's cuisine? I like boiled black beans(黒豆) , mashed sweet potato with sweet chestnuts(栗きんとん) and simmered arrowhead(くわいの煮物). Osechi is the traditional meal only prepared for New Year. All of the ingredients in Osechi are well-meaning because Osechi is eaten to pray for good health and great harvest for a year. For example, boiled black beans is eaten to wish for healthy life.      Second, I did Year-end cleaning with my family. I separate things in my room into necessary things and unnecessary things, and I cleaned my room. It was tiring, but worth doing.      Please tell me your favorite food in Osechi and what you did  at the close of the year and the start of the year!!

Visiting my old school festival on October 31th and November 1st !!

      I visited my old school festival on October 31th and November 1st. As I wrote my blog before, I belonged  to railroad research club when I was a high school student. Model railroading made by the club members are exhibited in school festival every year. I talked with the junior for the first time in a year, it was very enjoyable. However, exhibition spaces are smaller this year because of COVID-19. Also, To prevent from close contact, each class event was showing their indie movies.       I ate some food for lunch which is sold by second-year senior high school students. Each class sells one food , and when I was in high school, my class sold chocolate pies. I ate fried noodles, some popcorn, and toasted sandwiches and so on, they all tasted good. There are many people to buy the food every year, so I had to wait 20 to 30 minutes when I was in high school, but there were much fewer people to visit my old school festival this year, so I had to wai...

What are you studying for the final examination?

      Hello, everyone!! About two weeks are left to the term-end exams. What are you studying for it? I take the exam of programming, the basics the theory of probability, and English. I'm good at English since I was in junior high school, but I have difficulty in programming and the theory of probability.       I've been studying C (a kind of programming language) since last April. At first, it was not so difficult to keep up with,  but since the second semester class, it is hard to do. I have classes of programming after second-year student, so I have to continue to study it!!      The words that appears in the basics the theory of probability are so abstract these days, so it was difficult to grasp the meaning. According to the teacher, many students failed this subject, so I have to study persistently to pass the examination.       Please tell me what you are studying for the final examination and what you are hav...
