English study

I like to study English. So I want to study English more and more and take qualifications, TOEIC test and EIKEN. But I have no time to study enough.
I'm taking English lessons 4 times for a week now. I prepare for each English lessons at home. In fact, it isn't enough to study except for preparing for lessons. Because it is hard to go together study, part-time job and club activity. But I study hard to take TOEIC test in summer vacation. I want to learn English with enjoying and expand my knowledge about English.

High school and college

To go to high school and college is purpose to study but there are variety differences and similarities between high school and college.
First, study’s substance is different. We studied variety subject which is math, English, social studies and science, for example, when we were high school student. But unlike high school, we study special subject in college. We learn mainly about economics in Shimonoseki city university now. Also to choose classes and courses all on my own in college is one of the differences between high school and college. In college, we choose classes which we want to take, on the other hand, classes were decided by school when we were high school student.
You’ll find other differences. Most of high school has a rule that students wear a uniform and there are other many school rules, for example, must not dye hair. Unlike high school, we can wear our favorite clothes and dye hair too in college. College is freedom.
Both high school life and college life are the place where we meet new friends. We can make many friends at new place and enjoy school life.

Health

To do exercise regularly is good for our health. I do exercise at the club three times for a week now. When I entered college, I thought I wouldn’t join a sporting club. But I began to think I wanted to do some exercise later. After that, I joined the football club with my friends. Since I started a sport, I feel to keep myself in good condition.
And it is also important to take care for eating habits. Because I began living alone, eating habits is apt to lean. So I want to take care to have a balanced meal and aim at eating vegetables.
The most important thing is to understand my health. For example, going to a regular medical examination. If I continue to keep healthy, I think I’ll enjoy variety things.

Overweight & Obesity in Australia

The number of overweight or obese people is increasing slightly in Australia. From graph, two-thirds of men and over half of women in the 45 to 60 age group are overweight or obese, especially. I think that if overweight or obese people increase, people who suffer from health problems will increase at once.
Look at the graph about perceptions of weight in 2004 to 2005. You will find that 60% of males and 50% of females are overweight or obese. But about half of males who overweight or obese don’t perceive them overweight. Compare to males, about two-thirds of obese females recognize. I think if they don’t understand themselves, it is linked to serious health problems. Also, “inactivity is one of the main reasons to increase overweight or obese people” says Professor (Queensland University of Technology - QUT) Gavin Turrell. He says “Being inactive increase the risk of obesity, chronic disease, heart disease, diabetes come cancers, arthritis and depression.”
So I think it is important for overweight people to keep on doing exercise regularly and to eat healthy food. I also think it is important to understand themselves about health. Otherwise “overweight people will compromise their health, their quality of life and place a great burden on the health care system.”

But I decided to join club activities 1 month later by seniors and friend’s recommendation. I became track & field team manager. I could become to get along with team member and have a very good time for my high school life.

I think that it is very important to experience various things and to challenge many things during campus life. For example, to study, to take qualification, to play club activities, to enjoy with friends, to do part time job, etc…. I want to do them as many as possible. But especially I want to do now is to take the qualification.
At first the qualification I am interested in now is TOEIC. I took TOEIC test in March for the first time and recently I received the result. The result was the average. Then I thought I want to take high score this test. Although I study English in class four times for a week at college, I think I have to study myself. I study hard to improve the test score. Second I am interested in bookkeeping. I am going to take the test. I think I want to challenge the qualification which I am interested in a little.
I guess to take qualification is useful for oneself. When I will do job hunting, it may be useful. During campus life, I study hard as possible for oneself.
