Summer vacation

Summer vacation
I enjoyed myself very much in this summer vacation!! I tell you about them.
I’m belonging to basketball club in NUFS. During this summer vacation, we played basketball tournament. We played 5 games, but we won 1 game. Because our team is not many people, so we could not do practice much. I missed very much and I could not run much. But we enjoyed game because our purpose is not only winning but enjoying!!
After last game, we had lunch with chatting.

I went 3 summer festivals, and I watched fireworks. I went Oiden festival in Toyota and Okazaki festival, these are famous in Aichi. This is big festival, so there were a lot of people. I wore yukata so I could not eat very much. And I went local festival with my friend. There were a few people, so I could watch firework clearly. I met many local friends. It is really good to see them again.

I went to Nagara River in Gifu with my friends. We had a barbecue in there. At night, there were a lot stars in the sky. It is amazing that I have never seen. We kept watching them for some time. After that, we took a hot spring. I like hot spring so I took it long time. And I bought some souvenirs there. We stayed overnight in cottage. We talked and took alcohol all night. Next morning, we climbed mountain. When we got to the top, I said “Yoo-hoo!!” After that, I played rafting on the river. This is my first time so it is big event for me!! I wore lifejacket and helmet because rafting is very danger sport. We put name seal on helmet, nickname is ok. We rowed a boat, but it is difficult than I think. Strong wave attacked us!! It is exciting so much. And instructor said “Let’s try to jump off the precipice of 5 meters into the river.” At first, I thought I can’t do that. But gradually I decided to take this on just for the experience. I jumped with screaming. As a result, water went into my nose and ears and I don’t remember clearly.

I took the course that qualification as travel agent. During last summer vacation, I enjoyed vacation, but I hardly studied. So I set my objective. I ‘m interested in world, travel. So I decided take this course. But it is hard for me than I think. There are two kinds of test. These are about my country (Japan) and world. Pass rate of this test is about 20 %. But I don’t give up because my friend also takes this course. So we encourage each other. I took test of my country, but I didn’t co my best. So I take next world test on October. This chance, for sure, I’m going to study really hard.
