Hi! My name is Yuri.I'm 19 years old. I'm interested in Olympics!! I like watching them on TV and cheer for Japanese team. The other day Japanese volleyball team got through the preliminary!! I like Takahiro Yamamoto very much. He is tall and powerful! I want to talk about Olympics with you.See you!! :-)

Week 2--Volunteer Activities
What is "volunteer"? It means a person who does a job without being paid for it, or a person who offers to do something without being forced to do it. When I was a high school student, I collected cans, bottles, and cigarettes- discarded things on the streets around my high school. But I think it was just "cleaning". Such an activity was one of the rules in my high school. We did not do that voluntarily. So I have never done volunteer activities. I would like to teach English to children who are poor or lost their parents. I want them to know how intersting and wonderful English is! I like children and teaching and I think this volunteer activity is suitable for me. I also would like to work as a staff in cross-cultural events. I will get opportunities to communicate with people from different countries. In any case, I would like to do volunteer activities with using English. I am looking for some activities in this summer. These activities will give me good experiences and help me mature a lot.

Week 3--Picture

Description:This is a picture of my favorite sweet---strawberry cakes!! They are presents from a man who had the same part-time job on "White Day". What is "White Day"? It is one of our customs. On February 14th, women give men chocolate. However, they give chocolate not only to boyfriends and husbands, but also to their friends, fathers, brothers, bosses, and colleagues. The latter case is called "giri-choco" because the women do so mainly to show gratitude or out of "social obligation"(=giri) "White Day" is on March 14th, a month after Valentine's Day,when men return the women's kindness by giving them a present. Japan has unique custom like this! I gave him only a piece of chocolate cake, but his returns were splendid!!! I ate them up by myself!! They were very delicious!!
