My Autobiography as a Writer - Mayu

By Mayu Takenaka

I talk about my writer life. I have written letters since I was 6 years old. I learned how to write letters from my mother. Also, I sent the letter for my grandparent, and she heard from me but she said she couldn’t understand what I say. I was so sad, so I do letter exercises. I often sent the letter to my friends. The next year, I sent the letter to my grandparent again. She heard from me and she understood my letter. Then I often wrote letters.

When I was 15 years old, I had a mobile phone. Then I have sent the text messages. I learned how to send it from my brother. My brother was 17 years old, so he knew how to use it. I knew that we could send the text messages anywhere. When I finished school, then I sent it to my mother, so she met me at the school. It is a very useful tool. Now I am 21 years old and I use it every day. Text messages are one of the necessaries of my life.

Finally, when I was 19 years old, I entered university. I often wrote essays. I learned how to write essays from my English teacher. It was too difficult for me. I could note write good essays. I had the essay class when I was a first year student and second year student. Then I could write essays but I didn’t have the essay class when I was a third year student and now I forgot how to write the essay. Therefore, I should study English harder and when I go back to Japan, I’ll become a good essay writer. This is my writer life. I continue to do writing exercise.
