My introduce.

Hello, I’m Chisato Matsumoto. I would like to talk about me, because I would like you to come to know me. From now, I am to talk about my family, treasure, hobby, special skills, favorite things, memory, and dream. If you know me, you may know my hidden character.

My name is Chisato, but everyone calls me Chiiko. I have been being called Chiiko by everyone since I was born, so actually I don’t know why I’m Chiiko. But I like my nickname. And my birthday is November 10th. I am a sophmore of Kumamoto Gakuen University and study English there.

We’re a family of five. I have a younger brother who is a high school student. My father manages a building company and my mother is owner of a bar and a tavern. My father is kind person. I am on good terms with him. My mother is stern person and she is a hard worker.

And I have a younger sister. Her name is Kanon. Her age is 10, so my sister and I are far apart in age. Therefore I think she is my daughter. I often go to downtown with her. She practices golf and her dream is to be a pro golfer.

My treasure is my dog. She is a toy poodle. We call the dog Berry. I have been having Berry since 6 years ago. She is an idol of my family. I don’t have time so, I can’t take her for a walk, but she always sleep in my room. She likes me.

And I have a boyfriend. He is very kind person. I have been going out with him for 2 years. He gave me this ring the year before last. And a painter made this picture of us last year. I like this picture!

My hobby are listening to music and watching DVDs. I often listen to American pop music on Youtube. I can learn the new words from American songs. And I watch American dramas. I want to tell you my favorite dramas.

Do you know these American dramas, gossip girl and pretty little liars?? I really like them. When I went to America, I found these drama’s books and bought them. I want to read all of them. Of Couse, when I was staying at America, I watched them in America.

And, also I like Korean pop. My favorite Korean pop group is Girl’s generation. Most girls like Korean boy’s group, but I like girl’s group. They are very beautiful. I like their dance. I could get the tickets, so I am to go to their concert next month. I can’t wait.

In my free time, I always read magazines about American singer and actress. I like this magazine, GOSSIP. I really like American, but I can’t know about them. The way that I can know is only magazines. Also I can know their news and I can see their pictures that were taken by paparazzi.

And especially I like Miley Cyrus. Do you know her?? She is not only a singer but also an actress. I and She is same age, but she has her self and she is cool. I respect her. If I didn’t know her, I would not study English. She is a person changed my life.

Next, my special skill is surging. Actually I couldn’t go to the beach for surfing recently, but I want to do. My father and brother are good at it, so I often go to the beach with them in Miyazaki. We have been surfing at Kagosima, Miyazaki, and Bali.

My favorite sweet is ice cream. These pictures are things that I ate. What flavor ice creams do you like?? I like green tea flavor and cookie and cream flavor. I recommend green tea ice cream of Haagen dazs.

And I work at a restaurant. I like service trade. And I think it matched me. This restaurant was opened last month. So there are a lot of things to remember, it was hard. Please come to my part-time job’s place for lunch or dinner!!

My best memory is to go to America last summer vacation, because I could spend valuable time. And before I go to America, one of my dreams is to go to America. I could make some American friends, so I was glad.

And they are my host family. I miss them now. They treated me like their daughter. And my host sister is so cute. She is adoption from Korea, so I could learn about adoption. I want to go to Minnesota again.

My favorite place I have been is Bali. Have you been there?? I went to there 6 years ago. It was first time to go to abroad. Bali’s beaches are beautiful and Bali has some nice viewings. I want to go to there again.

And these pictures are my friends of Eibei. They are so cute and very funny. I like them. I really like the time that I am talking with them at lunch time. They make me happy. Last Xmas we had a xmas party. It was very fun. I want to do it next xmas.

I don’t have an articulate dream for my future. But I would like to go to all over the world. I have been to America, England, Korea, Hong Kong, and Bali. I want to go to other places. And I would like to make friends.

Can you understand about me?? I could tell you about me, so I’m glad. Thank you for your attention. (912)

My trasure

My treasure is my younger sister. Her name is Kanon. She is a cute girl. And she is 9 years old. You know, she and I are far apart in age. So some people say to me are you her mother? You are young mother!! But it is wrong. I am close to my sister. We are also best friend. She talk me everything. For example, about friends, her dream, and boys. Also I talk to her everything. She practices golf when she entered to elementary school. She spoke to me that she wants to become Pro Golfer. I wish that she will become it. Actually, I have also younger brother. He is a high school student. Of Couse I am close to him too. But I wanted to have younger sister when I was child. So when I can have younger sister, I was really happy. My parents are very busy, so I sometimes go shopping, go for a walk with our dog, and go to the movies with her. But recently I can’t meet her, because I have part-time job, so I come back to my home late at night. Then she always sleeps. And when I get up, she has gone to school. I want to have time when I spend with her. And recently, she doesn’t like to go out with me. She likes to go out with her friends. I think that she wants to become an adult. It is sadly for me, but I know that it is general.

The design consists of a stylized image of Table Mountain in white on a background of blue in the top left section and green in the top right section. Below the Table Mountain image is a yellow "paint brush" horizontal stripe under which is a red section at the bottom of the flag. As of 2007 the city had an estimated population of 3,500,000. And these are Cape Town’s transportation. This is a Metrorail train, Taxi, and Station. This is Bo-Kaap. It is traditionally a multicultural area. This is Victoria and Alfred Waterfront. Prince Alfred, second son of Queen Victoria, began construction of the harbor in 1860. And this is Canal Walk. It is a big shopping center. This is the University of Cape Town. Cape Town is Mediterranean climate like California and parts of Western. And Cape Town enjoys with mild, moderately wet winters and dry, warm summers.
