             My interests are varied. I like internet window shopping. When I turn on a computer and enter internet shopping malls after a tiring day of school, it seems to emotional stability and feels relaxed and I relieved of my fatigue. Even though something has me worried if I find something else to buy while looking around window shopping, I enjoy window shopping. Also I love to watch all kinds of movies whether the content is good or bad. Horror movie will make me forget about the heat. And if I watch comic movies, I convulsed with laughter. Sometimes sad movie makes me cry. Watching movies alone does not get bored.
And I think movies help me do indirect experience. So it seems that watching movies is a helpful hobby since I can experience the world that I did not know through movies. And drinking with my friends is an important element of my interest. Although I can not drink so much, I feel a gleam of mad joy and more relaxing when I drink alcohol. After drink heartily with my friends, we caught up on each other's lives and get sth off each chest, and then we get acquainted each other. It is a great opportunity to get to know. So I tried to break away from boring everyday life by having a drinking party with friends at least once a week.
             Having a hobby is not only for killing time. I think it is one of activities to stabilize our emotions and be right-minded for the future. I think it’s good for everyone to enjoy each interest.

             I volunteered with my club members last Friday. The second semester starts and I joined the volunteer service club of universities. I was very nervous and much anxiety because this is my first time going to volunteer work after joins a club. On the one hand, I was expected to different volunteer work from I have ever done. I have done volunteer service that go to community welfare service once a week and do the cooking helping mentally disable children during the last semester and now. So joined the volunteer service club that helping live alone the old becasue I want to volunteer other filed. Hence, I first visited old man who living alone last Friday. There was awkwardness at first but experienced club people relived my anxiety and tention by talking, “It will be good help in old man just by listening to old man’s story.” That takes a big load off my mind. When we visited a home for an aged about 2 o’clock, an old man was waiting in one small room. He lost his leg in a car accident. He glad to see us and told us all that he had been.  We spent an hour or so with him then. It’s really not that hard to understand and I think I had a good job.
Helping others can give helpers themselves deep satisfaction. Now most students participate in volunteer work for poor people or for their community. The experience of helping others or working for a neighborhood would give students great pride. Therefore, I think students should join in the volunteer work more actively.

             I have a bad cold. My sickness kept me at home all through the weekend and it's been so cold, I have not been able to spend much time outdoors.
I had some of the following symptoms of colds a few days ago. Low fever, body chills, sore throat, sneezing, runny nose, watery eyes, coughing, and feeling tired. Especially, my throat very hurted and my nose were stuffy and I felt chilly. But I wink the other eye and act normally.
As a result, I am writing in the bed with my covers over my head now. If I pay attention to my health when symptoms of colds appeared, I would have avoided catching a terrible cold like this. I regret immensely what I've done. I was overcome with regret.
I think that the reason why I take a cold is the autumn weather which a huge daily temperature range and enjoy the cool air-conditioned breeze and I go outdoors too soon after washing my hair. I should have been more careful.
             I had a cold and there are many bad things. I have a headache and sometimes I had a horrible headache so I feel dizzy. And the most troublesome or plain annoying thing is runny nose. Now I must blow my nose with a piece of tissue minutely because my nose will not stop running. So the piece of tissue is indispensable to me when walking along the road, take the class in school, in the subway and even when I eat at any time, and anywhere.
Therefore I wish that get rid of my cold as soon as possible.
