Nice to meet
you!
I
am John, and my Japanese name is Koichi. I live in Madison
where is located around 250 miles away to north from Chicago.
It's freezing to death in winter here but hot in summer.
Cheese and beer are very famous in Wisconsin! I am 17 years
old, a senior student. There are my parents, big brother,
and I in my family. My father is 50 years old, (old!) and
an architect. He is hard-working and patient. My mother
is a physical therapist and very friendly. My big brother
is 20 years old, and goes to University of Utah. I like
skiing and cycling. I have a golden retriever called Dylan
that was named after Bob Dylan.
School days
I wake up at
6 every morning and go to school by a bicycle. I enjoy swimming
from 6:30 to 7:00 and have a breakfast at school. Classes
start from 8:00. My favorite class is Japanese. I am a third
year student in a Japanese class. I have a lunch with my
friends at noon. My friends and I often go to McDonald's
for lunch. I take a band class after lunch. My part is a
tuba. I love music! After that, there is an architecture
class which is very interesting and amusing. Currently I
go to the building site. School finishes at 3:30, so I go
home and eat a snack and watch TV. I have a dinner around
6:00. After dinner I start practicing tuba. Sometimes I
go to swim or read a book and go to bed around 11:00.
Baseball
I
love baseball. I had played it until I became a third grader.
I was an outfielder and not a good batter. I often go to
see and listen to the games in these days. My favorite team
is Milwaukee Brewers which is not as good as the Yankees.
However I'm fond of it because Milwaukee is close to Madison.
I go to see a lot of games during summer break. The Brewers'
field is Millar Park. They were very strong in 1982. I wish
they would be strong again.
About myself
I'm
graduating this June. I will be going to University of Wisconsin
next year. I want to major in Japanese and become an architect
like my father. I want to live in Japan.
