The afternoon class

From today, I started my afternoon class which is to prepare for IELTS exam. It was not so difficult than I had thought, and it was very different from my morning class. We learned techniques to solve question in the exam. IELT exam consists of 4 parts, reading, writing, listening, and speaking. And it is very difficult. But I found that the exam is similar to Japanese exam that I took before to enter my university. Anyway, I have to concentrate in the class from 9:00am to 3:00pm, it is very hard for me.

Christmas lunch

I went to Judy's house where I go every Thursday to join in VISA course, to have a Christmas traditional lunch. It was so luxury, and delicious!! There were many favorite friends. Annie, Sara, Lisa, Yuriko, Nicho, Daria, Nang, Luke... and Judy, David, Bartow!! I really enjoyed the time. After the lunch, we talked about what a church was. Bartow taught me that a church means humans who share their idea about the Bible and Jesus, it's not just buildings. We can't live on our own, we need someone's help. It's very natural, nobody is not alone. I like his idea.

Cambrige sightseeing

Today, I went around Cambridge with Daria and Nicoh. Surpprisingly, it was the first time to go around for sight seeing. We went to many colleges and churches with guidebook. I could reconfirm that Cambridge is a lovely town. Colleges is so spectacular and fantastic. If we lived there, we have a tendency to be lazy to know about the place. Actually, I don't know well about Japan... I'm sure that Japan is a lovely country, I really want to know about Japan.

Christmas party

We had a early Christmas party tonight. It was a activity from Harry's cafe. When I was eating dinner, all people who sat at the same table as me were Cambridge University students. Their conversation was very complicated, probably they talked about economic problem, but I couldn't understand at all. Several times, they asked me to tell them my opinion, but all I could say was "I agree with you". Their brain is completely different from mine.

Sophie

She is one of my best friend in my school. Today, I went to the pub with her. We really enjoyed the pub, on the other hand I had to feel something lonely... She is leaving here 3 weeks later, Joanne and Carina are also leaving. Manami is leaving soon as well. I have to see them off. I'm sure I am crying when they leave. I don't want to think about it. Today, Sophie told me that she wanted to say "thank you" to me, and asked me to promise that I go to Switzerland someday, it made me so sad. We are here temporarily, we know we have to go separate way soon. I have to make sure that the time in here is so precious for me.

The holy spirit

We learned about the holy spirit in the VISA course. I have completely misunderstood about it. I had thought the holy spirit was like angel, but actually that was human. Also they taught me that God is one and also God is three. It was very hard to understand, but it was very attractive as well. All of us have the holy spirit, and he always helps us to understand about the Bible and Jesus. And Christian is always inviting him, it is the difference between me and Christian. I am still confused about that.

IELTS

I decided to add my afternoon class from two weeks later. The class is for preparing IELTS exam. There are many reason to decided it. If I didn't take any exam, I would be lazy, I need to study hard as much as I can. And if I took the exam, I can know that which level I am now, how my English has progressed. Besides, I can get evidence for studying English in UK. I talked the principal of my school about my English. He suggested me that I should set aim of the exam's score 6.5. I know it's not easy, but I should.
