    1. Hi Taiichi,
      Which kind of pear do you like?
      Asian Pear (Pyrus pyrifolia) - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pyrus_pyrifolia
      or
      European Pear (Pyrus communis) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_Pear
      I like both, but I prefer the European pear.

      Delete
    2. Taiichi Akashi11:59 pm

      I like Asian Pear, because I like the crunching sound. The sound refresh me. I can't feel good on the tongue about European pear. The European pear is too soft to refresh me. Why do you prefer the Europian pear?

      Delete
    3. Hmmm, good question. I just like the taste. For me, Asian Pear has little flavour. I like the crunch sound of an apple, but the crunching sound of an Asian Pear does nothing for me. I like European pears to be a little soft, not too soft. When the European pear is just right it has a great flavour.

    Nice to meet you, Michael.

    My name is Tsukasa Mizutaru.

    I'm second year student of the college of science engineering.

    My home town is Asahikawa city,Hokkaido.
    It is famous for Zoo and Ramen(a kind of chinese noodle)

    But my birthplace is Kagoshima.
    Because of this, I have rare family name, I think.

    And I have a lot of hobby.
    For example, reading books, fixing (often breaking) something, and so on.

    Why I choose this university is to study organic chemistry.
    But now, I regretted my choice...

    Anyway,I beg your kindness.

    PS: I think some (most?) people are misunderstanding...

  5. Hello,Mr Stout.

    My name is Yuki Izumi.
    I'm from Gunma.
    My hometown is Tatebayashi.
    Tatebayashi is famous for hot summer
    and beautiful azalea.

    There're 5 people in my family.
    Father, Mother, older brother,
    younger sister and me.
    I like my brother, because he always
    listen to my troubles.
    But I don't like my sister very much,
    because she is taller than me.

    I like knitting very much.
    But I'm a beginner.
    I have practiced it for a month!
    I want to make many kinds of
    knitted items someday.

    I'm not good at English,
    but I try to join and enjoy your class
    as actively as possible.
    Please give me your help
    when I have some troubles.

    Thank you for reading.
    I'm looking forward to see you
    next week!

      My mother likes knitting. She is very good at knitting too. She has arthritis (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arthritis). Knitting helps make her hands feel better.
      Don't worry about your English, and anytime you want help, just ask.

    I like playing the cello. And I like Mstislav Leopol'dovich Rostropovich. His playing is so beautiful but also dynamic. I started to play the cello 13 years old. First I taught the basic points by my parent’s friend. Then I entered string instrument club in high school. We played Serenade for Strings by Antonin Dvorak. It was so difficult but we managed to play it and we enjoyed. I also like shooting games, example for call of duty series. I play them by PC, and the PC is maked up by me.
