Essay 2-02b : My Work Place

My favorite place is my work place. I work a part time job at Osaka Osyo in Hikarinomori. It is first place where I began a part time job. The office is not wide, but mood calms down. I started to work before entiring the university, and I wanted to earn my spending money by myself. The reason why I selected this work is I just like Chinese food. So about one year and seven months have passed since I work at Osyo.

The place is located on Hikarinomori. There is a big shopping mall, and the name is "youme town." This is one of the most famous shopping centers in Kumamoto. My work place is in its first floor. In first floor, there are a grocery store, bakery, some clothing stores and accessories stores, and some restaurants. Osyo lines up end of the "restaurant city." So many customers come in. 

I always go to there by driving my car. I go to the university by car, so if I am going to work, I will go on the way to back to home. This place gets between my house and university. On weekend, I go to there from from my house, and it takes about thirty minutes more. Sometimes it takes less than an hour when it is traffic congestion. Sometimes I see off and meet on return my colleagues to her housse if it is rainy. When I am tired, I don't want to drive. But dinner after working is very delicious.

At my work place, many kind of people exist, for example, regular employee, working adult, house wife, young people subsisting on part time work, and student of technical school, beauty school, high school, or university. Counting the number if the employees, about thirty people work at there. They are so kind at all. Having nothing to do with thinking about our ages, we are getting along well  each other. We often eat out after working, and go to karaoke with members. In fact, since I started this work, there was nobody who is acquaintance with me. So I was very nervous, but thanks to them, I can continue to work until now. I don't feel like to retire Osyo.

Osyo is Chinese restaurant. It offers Chinese food. Of course, the most famous cooking is pot-stickers, and this is called Japanese-gyoza, too. Next to this, noodles are popular, and Chinese-style fried rice is eaten by guest. I like Chinese food very much, above all, my favorite food is pot-stickers. In addition, at Hikarinomori store, it establishes a drink bar, so people can drink freely. There are soft drinks, hot drinks, tea, coffee, and so on.

Schedule of work is decided by a shop manager. It is listed up every half of a month, so it is difficult a little bit for me to adjust my personal affairs, club activity, and time to study or do my homework. I usually work four or five times a week, and mainly it is Saturday and Sunday. These days are very busy, so it is needed  people to work more. On weekday, it is less the number of people to come than weekend. In fact, I want to spend time to do my favorite thing, read books, sleep, do my homework, go shopping with my friends, and walk my dog, but it is hard.

Also, I can take a brake while working. If it is on weekend, I am usually given two hours or two hours and thirty minutes in the afternoon. Because weekend is so busy, so a manager says, "you should provide for peak time of night." On weekday, if there is little guest, I am often  thirty minutes. While rest time, some employees eat desserts, sleep in office, others listen to the music. All of them may be tired, so everyone has to relax.

Essay 2-01b : How I think about language


I have studied three languages. I studied Japanese, English, and Spanish. In addition, I learned Chinese, Korean, and Italy less than them. I am from Kumamoto, in Japan, so my mother tongue is Japanese. When I was four years old, I could read katakana andhiragana better than others a little bit. I heard that I could speak many words when I was a child.

I have studying English about 8 years. I studied it for the first time when I was seventh grade in junior high school. I liked foreign things very much, so I wanted to study more. I was happy to know about English and its detail. The teacher was very kind, so he taught me friendly and I could understand well. My favorite subject is English even now.

I like foreign things, so I often see the Western drama, TV, and movies, listen to the Western music, read overseas fashion and gossip magazines. Of course, they are written in English. I try to read it fluently, but it is not easy for me. I heard from my high school’s teacher, and she said the best way to be good at English which you can daily is listening to the Western music. I still do it in everyday life according to the instruction.

In this university, if you are a student of foreign language depart, you should choose the second language and study it. When I was a freshman, I selected Spanish. The reason why I choose this is I wanted to travel to Spain. Spanish is not difficult for me. Although spelling is good, grammar is difficult. So I was worried about understanding this. But I repeated studying, I became better more and more. The teacher was very kind, so I could understand well. After studying, I taught my friends. 

I like studying languages. I study them, and I can study not only language but also its history, culture, and atmosphere. I take Introduction to Linguistics class, but I learned many things about Japanese even I am Japanese. Japanese has how to read, grammar, pronunciation, idiom, and so on. Even if my tongue is Japanese, I think it is very interesting. I want to know more.

Like I said in the beginning, I have learned Chinese, Korean, and Italy a little bit. When I went to experience entrance of some university, there are trial lessons, so I could take those classes. In Chinese class, I told how to write my name in Chinese from the teacher. I was very happy to know that. The languages which I don’t know are around the world, so I want to know those.

I want to live and work in overseas in the future. English is common language in the world, so I want to be good at English. I must read fluently, speak like natives, understand better than now. In addition, I want to travel around the world! I want to make a lot of friends, but I don’t enough courage and I am shy. I want to be friend with an exchange student. I will be an English master.
