Hello!! My name is Shiho Katano. I am a second grade student in Yamanashi University. I am majoring in English education for jounior high school students. I am from Shizuoka Prefecture, but now I live alone in Yamanashi Prefecture to go to the university. It is hard for me to do housework by myself , however, thanks for living on my own, I can contrive my lifestyle freely (making meals, arranging my room and so on ), it is also fun!!
My hobbies is watching movies. I like love romance, historical and fantasy movies. I love Disney animation, too. I love "The Little Mermaid" and "Cinderella" . When I was a little child, my mother often showed them to me, so I can understand what they're talking mostly, even English. But just these!! Also, I like to listening to music, too. My favorite musicians are "Avril Lavigne", "Good Charlotte" and "KT Tunstall". Of all others, KT is great!! Her husky voice is very comfortable to me. I recommend that "Suddenly I see", "Hold on","Hopeless". They're so good!!But I don't know well about songs spoken by English and singers. If you know something or someone good, please tell me.
This summer, I went to Indiana state in America to improve my English skill and enjoy my long vacation. It was my homestay tour. I had stayed there for a month. We went to the local language school which is next to the unversitry in the morning, after that, we went to many places (fire station, court, chocolate factory, public library, shopping mall, etc.) as our activities. At the school, I met many students who were mainly from South Korea, Taiwan, Saudi Arabia, Africa, South America and talked a lot about our love, culture&customs, country and future, of course, in English. It was really interesting and important time to know each other. Also my hostfamily was so good to me!! They're my real family in America. I had a good time and got precious experiences there. Several years later, I wish to come back to America!!

Hello Katano-san. My name is Morris. I recently read your blog post, and I liked it very much. You have an interesting choice in American music. I'm glad to see you understand our movies, like Disney movies. Have you ever seen Mulan? That is one of my favorites. You can write in English very well!
In English, we usually say when someone has a manly voice (like KT Tunstall); instead we might say her voice is 'rough'. In spoken American English, 'husky' means 'fat'. I like her song, "Black Horse and the Cherry Tree". Have you heard that one yet? Some of my favorite American music artists are The Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan, Led Zeppelin, Beck, and Modest Mouse.
I'm very surprised to see you studied abroad in America already! That is very cool. I hope you enjoyed it. I hope to study abroad in Japan some day in the future. It seems like your English imporved a lot from studying abroad. I hope my Japanese language skills improve when I travel abroad too!
It was nice reading your blog. Talk to you later. ^o^
