Everyone maybe knows Statue of Liberty. But, most people doesn't know how to make it and who make it maybe. Statue of Liberty made by Frederic Bartholdi. He is Frenchman. The Statue of Liberty was a present from the people of france to the people of the United States. 

"Liberty" means freedom. All over the world, people dreamed of coming to America to find freedom. The Statue of Liberty model is Frederic's mother. He copied his mother's face for his statue. First, he made a small statue. Then a bigger one. Then an even bigger one. The last statue was so big it couldn't fit in his workshop! So, he had to make it in pieces. Frederic needed lots of help. And they took the pieces outside and put them together. A ship carried what packed the statue apart from France to New York. In America the people were building high pedestal for But they ran out of money! The work stopped. 

Joseph Pulizer owned a newspaper. He had an idea. Joseph said, “The statue needs a home! I will print the name of everyone who gives money to help.” Thousands of people sent nickels and dimes. Children sent pennies. So The Statue of Liberty turned off. The people of New York had parade to welcome her. The excitement never ended.

I knew The Statue of Liberty but I didn’t know how to made it and who made it. I want to go to see that. It must be a big and awesome one!

Essay 2- 01a: I wanna be bilingual

I learn English in the KGU. I have exposure to English when I was baby. When I was child I usually spoke English outside because I had many friends of American. But I spoke Japanese in my house. Because, my parents are Japanese.

I'm interested in English even after coming back to Japan. So I attended English lesson. But I quitted when I was elementaｌly school student . But, I like English. So I thought what I want to learn English once more. And, I entered KGU. 

In my opinion, English has many lures. Firstly, English is global common language. Everybody knows that. If I speak English well I can speak most people all over the world. It is best to learn English to acilitate communication with various foreigner who do not assume English a native language. Secoundlｌy, I think English has not constraint. English is language what very friendly. English has formal speech as business english but, English is not hard like Japanese honorific. So we can get friendly quickly. Or we feel like that.Third, american joke is very funny. American joke jestful as gag lines of government,current affairs, history, gossip and scandal. And, English expression is so cool. In the case of language of youth, they have a slang. 

I usually study English with textbook. But, I like foreign magazine, TV, drama, movie, and song. So, I study English with them. When I watch a movie at first , I change to English sound and Japanese caption. Once I have gotten used to that, I change to English caption. Eventually, I try to watching movie without caption. When I listening western music, I looking lyrics. And, I study slang and youth slang.

I learn English but my mother language is Japanese. Many foreign country people say that Japanese is most difficult language. I speak Japanese everyday but sometimes I think that Japanese is difficult ,too. Japanese has character as Kanji, Hiragana, Katakana… English have only 26 alphabets. And Japanese honorific have word of consideration, formal lines, a humble form. I am not even understand pretty Japanese. But Japanese is beautiful and wonderful.

I have learned little Spanish for one year. I took a class of Spanish in KGU. It was difficult for me to study Spanish. I took two classes of Spanish. Writing and Speaking. I tend to like speaking class. I’m not good Spanish but I felt lures of Spanish. So I want to learn Spanish myself. And I want to visit to Espanol.

I want to be person who global. I want to work involve English deeply. For example, I thinking that I want to work at airport, teacher of children conversation English or Japanese instructor at overseas. And I would also like to live in foreign country in the future. To that end I should go all out and I should build up my English skill.
