Many thanks for the blog-making project

Hi members,

I have already read all your blogs. I am very thankful for your efforts and now very happy to see your wonderful blog contents. Very well done, I believe.

I hope this task of making a blog in English will be useful for your English skills to be upgraded. I would like you to keep making your own blog in English.

After finishing this project, I will give you some suggestions to learn English:

1) Don't be afraid of making mistakes. The point is what you want to say.
2) Read and listen to a lot more English, and you will be able to make your English better.
3) Study something else through English but don't study English.

Good luck!

Be happy!

Hello all,

Did you enjoy your university life in 2007? I think you have had many wonderful or terrbile experiences so far. However, I hope you will be happy and cheerful in 2008. That is because you have your beautiful future. Be happy and be cheerful!

I am trying to always enjoy my life. I am still not young so I am sometimes suffering from back or leg pain. I can't move my body so smoothly like I was young and strong. I often have stiff shoulder and neck. These days I am worried about metabolic syndrome because of too much eating and drinking without enough exercise. However, my metal part is still young, so I am very interested in many new things, such as computers, music, arts, and world pop culture. These things will make me happy.

I will show you part of my interests:

1. Travel

I would like to visit many places which are unknown or uninteresting to most people, such as downtown in Tokyo. Or I want to meet many common young people all over the world.

2. Sports

I like skiing and swimming, so I would like to enjoying skiing in the European Alps or Rocky mountains in North America. Also I would like to go to Tahiti to stay in the house on the sea, enjoying swimming in the sea.

3. Gambling

I would like to go to Las Vegas to play games for gambling, if I had much money.


4. Miscellaneous curiosity

Anyway, I have good curiosity always. I want to do new things, but I don't like to meet danger.

Finally I want to say it again. You should be happy and enjoy your life. Youth is very precious. If you lose it, you will easily understand how important youth is. Many people haven't realized it. However, just playing or wasting time is not fun. It is often important to make efforts or try to do something eagerly. You can enjoy it and be happy.

So I do hope you will be happy this year and try to do your best.

Happy News

Cheers!
Sasa
