T or F

When I was the fourth grader in an elementary school, I became a champion of double skip (it’s called “nizyu-tobi” in Japanese) in a rope skipping contest. I practiced on double skip many times until the day. Surprisingly, I jumped 113times the day. I jumped this first time. I was jumping, I might get a cramp in my leg and lose my breath, but I was cheered by my classmates. I was so happy, so I could do my best. It’s my unforgettable memory.
When I was playing basketball for class of high school, I injured my left eye. When I was trying to catch a ball under the goal, the competitor's elbow hit under my left eye. I was stupefied a moment. Of course, my left eye became red and under my left eye swelled like small fill. Unfortunately, the day was the day before of an interview of this university, so I cried for a long time. Then I went to hospital and I took a medicine. The nest day, I had the interview, having a bandage over my eye. I was asked "what's the matter?" by interviewer.

Vietnam

I ate Vietnam cuisine at lunch time. Vietnam cuisine is well-known for "Pho" and "summer roll (it is called "nama-harumaki" in Japanese)".  Pho is a Vietnamese noodle soup. Summer roll is a Vietnamese salad roll. Its ingredients are wrapped in rice paper. In addition, Vietnam cuisine is often seasoned by herbs, for example coriander, dokudami, and basil. Especially coliander may be peculiar taste, but it will produce good taste. I want to eat Vietnam cuisine again.

Oh my gosh!

I made a foolish mistake first period, English communication today. I was asked "How long does it take commute to university?", so I wanted to answer "about 40 minutes". But I answered "about 40 hours". (Oh my gosh!) I was very ashamed. In addition, I thought that "Where do I live?" if I take 40 hours to commute to university.

Lifestyle

I had a class, English conversation, first period. We talked about Lifestyle and Personality. I learned the difference of university students' lifestyle in U.S.A and Japan. According to teacher, the ratio of "roommates" in U.S.A is 80%, "live alone" is 10%, and "with family" is 10%.  I think that the ratio of "roommates" in Japan is considerably lower than U.S.A. I live with my family and I think it is common, so I was surprised to know about the difference.
