Introduction myself revision

Hello. How do you do? I introduce myself from now on. First, my name is Yumi. My first name was made by my father when I was born. My first name is Yumi written by kanji 祐美. My name’s origin that 祐 is help to people and so on, and 美 is beautiful. My birthday is in January, and I’m nineteen years old.


I’m from Gyokuto in Kumamoto. My hometown Gyokuto is a historical place.


My family members are my father, my mother and my brother. My father’s job is a policeman, and my mother’s job is to cook lunch for elderly people at an institution. My brother is one year older than me, and he is a student at Sojo University. He is majoring in architecture.


My favorite foods are cream puff and fried chicken. When my mother asks me “what do you want to eat for today’s dinner?” I always answers “fried chicken”. I like fried chicken all the more. I can’t eat eel, because I hate that it looks like snakes. Then I don’t like the dog days when we have to eat eels.


My hobby is to watch movies, to go shopping and to make cakes. I often do such things in my holiday. My specialty is to play the flute. A peg to play the flute is that I was member of the brass band club when I was in junior high school. My parents bought me a new flute when I was thirteen years old, because I was using the school’s old flute at the beginning. So the flute is my treasure. I don’t belong to such a club now, but I sometimes play the flute during the holidays.


I’m working part-time as a clerk in a supermarket and laundry. The office is near my house, it is so convenient for me. Besides, I will start part-time job as Teaching Assistant at Kumamoto Gakuen University next month. The part-time job is advantageous for me. First, I can spend time usefully. Second, I can learn how to teach students. I am in the teaching course, so it is useful for me. Third, I can get paid. Just kill three bird with one stone. I want to work at an airport or hotel in the future, so I am interested in the tourist industry. I’m interested in overseas since my childhood, and I want to come in contact with a lot of foreigner, so I want to work overseas.


Finally, I have a few questions for you. What do you do in holidays? Then, do you have any rules in your family? I want to know these things to stay with you. I’m looking forward to meet you.

Hey yumi!

Your draft essay looks almost finished, one of the first I've seen! For ease of reading anywhere, including on your blog, please remember to leave white space (two returns) between paragraphs.

You also need a word count on every post that your make for Writing III and IV. So, if you get in the habit of counting words when you finish each post (Word: Tools: Word Count), there will be less you need to do towards the end of the semester. I suggest that you put your word counts in small square brackets at the lower right corner of each post (for examples, see the Writing Studio Blog).

Cheers, PB

Hi Yumi! Nice to write you!! I'm Takako sitting next to the assistant in the class. I read your essay and I found some things in common between us! I used to play flute in a brass band when I was in a high school. I have my own flute too. I don't play it anymore though. Also, I like watching movies too! What movie did you see recently? I recommed you "Red Cliff". Have you seen it?

Hi Yumi,

Would you please give additional examples of what you mean by "and so on," and "and so on" (2009/07/09 11:56)? It usually takes at least three examples to sketch a category or group.

Cheers.
