A Memorable Day of my Life

By Hiroko Fujimoto

The final swimming meet when I was a high school student was one of the memorable days of my life. I belonged to the swim club when I was a high school student. I was a breaststroker. I wasn’t very fast, but I liked to swim. I always felt the strain before I swam at the meet. However, I was always relaxed after I heard encouragement from my mates. So my last swimming was very good. I established a new record for myself! I was very glad, so the final swimming meet was my important memory.

My Best Friend

By Manami Sugawara

My best friend is Rika. I made friends with her last Spring. She likes singing a song, talking with her friends, following latest fashions and playing volleyball. I like to do these things too. Also, we have a part time job almost every day, so we sometimes complain of our job to each other. I live far from her house, so I rarely stay overnight at her house even though her house is near my university. When I feel sad, she calls me and listens to my talking. If she feels sad, I always do the same. We sometimes go to karaoke to melt stress. She sings a song very well, so her voice always heals my feeling. She encourages me whenever I talk with her. She is an important person for me as long as I live.
