Free writing for next essay

Speaking of computer, today, I guess many people use it even if people are very young like elementary school student. It's because computer is really useful. I use PC a lot too. We can learn almost everything using computer, especially via Internet. For example, when I am working with Word, sometimes I don't know how to do something difficult or unfamiliar. However, when I'm in like that situation, I can solve that problem using Internet because there are much information about computer and many people who help me and I can ask about the trouble in the Internet.

Also, Internet is the place where we can learn other languages. For example, now I'm learning English as my major at my university so it's the place where I can learn English, however, there are so many sites that I can't count all of them and are made in English.

Free-writing: Basketball Club

When I was in high school and junior high school, I belonged to a basketball club. I was in the roster as a 6th-man in junior high school, and I was in roster as a vice captain and starter in high school. Almost everyday I practiced basketball, and every practice menu was really hard. But they were really good for me too because I could improve my physical and mental. Sometimes I wanted to quit the club but I didn't do that because every time I noticed I love basketball. I don't belong to any basketball club, I sometimes play basketball with my team mates when I go back hometown. I still love basketball, and now I check NBA everyday. Basketball is part of my life. If I didn't meet it when I was in junior high school, I don't love it now. I know basketball is really tough and hard sport, but it's really exciting sport ever!

My favorite place is... what??

My favorite place is the dorm for exchange students. I often go there because there is so much fun place, even though there is a curfew... But it doesn't matter for me because I can spend much time with exchange students almost everyday.

Now about 30 people live in there in total now. They are from America, Canada, England, Australia, Korea, China, Vietnam, and Thailand. Everybody can learn their mother tongue in the dorm. In my case, I'm majoring in English so I can improve my English skills there. And I'm interested in Korean, so I can learn Korean.

In the dorm, as I said, people from 8 countries live there, which means, we can know their cultures. Most of people can speak Japanese, so we can talk about it in Japanese, and we can talk about it in English too. And sometimes, they cook me their ethnic foods. My favorite one is Korean food. Of course it's too spicy, but I can eat them up because I love spicy food!

I'm sure some people want to know English slang. Me too. If we go to the dorm, we can know some English slang, even f-words, swear words, and something like that. I've been learning slang from exchange students a lot. And slang makes us easy to communicate with people, I guess. Speaking of slang, Japanese can teach Japanese slang to exchange students. And also Japanese can teach district to them. It's totally fun!

I love the dorm!!
