My favorite fall activity

My favorite activity in fall is exercising and playing sports. In my elementary school days, an athletic meeting took place in October every year. I like an athletic meeting a lot because I could run anywhere and I could be an outstanding person. Even now, when fall coming, I'm bursting to run and exercise.
And my junior high and high school days, sports day was held in October like an athletic meeting. We were very excited. In addition, fall is the best season to play sports, I think. That's why, I like exercising and playing sports in fall.

About a favorite place

My favorite place is rooftop of my house. Actually, my house is condominium. Sometimes, I feel sad, or not happy, I go to rooftop of my condominium. We can view very beautiful sight from there. Especially, in the evening, the sight we can view from there is the best!! The evening sun, mountains, buildings, sky, there are a lot of beautiful things. In the midnight is also great, because we can discuss our problem there with my friends with drinking alcohol and eating some snacks. But we don't make noise. I love that silent time. That's why my favorite place is rooftop of my condominium.

Habits

When I was in Oita, before coming Kumamoto, I used to eat break fast. Because, I had a time at morning. But now, I hardly eat break fast. I live in Kumamoto alone, so I don't have much time to eat break fast, and I don't have much money too. That's why I'm always hungry.

And, after eating each diet, I want something sweet to eat. So, recently, after I ate lunch, I often go to Maruzen to buy ice cream or chocolate.

Golden Week!

This year, my golden week plan was so simple. This year's golden week had just 4 days. These were May 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th. First 2 days, I worked in Kumamoto. My part time job is delivery of pizza. So, we think golden week will be busy. This prediction was correct. We were so busy during golden week.

And the other 2days, I went back to my home town, Oita to choose Hakama for confirmation. This year I will be 20 years old. I'm really looking forward to attending confirmation. In addition, I drank with my friend in Oita. We are very good friend. Living in Oita is so comfortable.

By the way, May 6th is my friend's birthday. His name is Mizuki, one of my Kumamoto friends. We were planning to hold a birthday party for him. However we didn't. So, we may be going to have a birthday party for him next year's golden week.

The presentation of C class

Last class, we were audience. Presenters were Tomei sensei's students.
I'll give them advice about their presentation. First, you had better prepare for your presentation. Some groups didn't have thier photo and poster. Why don't you bring your information a lot. Second, Don't read. Not all but many read their note or something all the time they were presenting. Eye contact please. Third, please enjoy your presentation. Most of the students seem unenjoyable. Do more active.
This is what I want to give advice.
