I have a dream.

The third Monday in January in the United States is designated as the legal public holiday to honor Martin Luther King, Jr. He is famous for his "I Have a Dream" speech. Write about your dream for the future people of your country.

I have a dream that my country thrives, has no stress, and comfortable with life. Today, my country does not have many children. Most scientists say “Japan is population ageing.” The results of the survey announced that 23% of population in Japan is now over 65 years of age. Most people don’t get married, and have fewer babies. Therefore, people think less Japanese in the future. The government makes nursing homes. They take care of elderly people and make useful and comfortable with places and lives.

I have a dream; people continue to wear Kimono because most people don’t wear them. They always wear foreign clothes include me. During summer festival, some people wear Kimono however, most people do not wear them. I don’t really know about future things but I hope they will continue to wear them. This is Japanese traditional cloth, and I don’t want to lose them from people’s memories. 

The best winter

This past winter break I had the best time. I have some reasons why this break was the best time. I think all of you had wonderful time during this past winter.

First, I headed back to Tokyo. When I was at home, I could do what I wanted to do.

I also ate Japanese traditional food. Last winter break, I didn’t go back to Japan, and didn’t eat any traditional food in America. People who live in Japan eat New Year traditional food. It is called “Osechi”. We also eat “Zouni”. These are tasty food.

I went to the temple in Asakusa and prayed to God. I prayed only one thing but it’s a secret wish.

I didn’t do these things last time but this time I did all things that I wanted to do, so I think this break was the best time ever. I had so much fun.
