I Bought a Smart Phone.

Two weeks ago, I bought a smart phone. The smart phone is softbank. The color  is yellow. I didn't want to buy the smart phone, but my normal cellphone was something wrong. I couldn't move pictures in the normal cellphone to SD card. Also, e-mails disappeared suddenly, so I was upset. Important information are in it. I went to cellphone shop, and I had a shop assistant check my cellphone. After few minutes, the shop assistant said that my normal cellphone broke down, so I decided to buy a new cellphone. I was surprised that smart phone is more expensive than normal cellphone. I think that I would buy normal cellphone again, but my mother told me to buy a smart phone. Because of what my mother said, I could decide to buy a smart phone. Smart phones are very useful. I can use Internet anywhere. Also, I can use many application which is useful to kill time. However, it is difficult to write words in the smart phone. I practice typing. I want to be able to handle this smart phone as soon as possible.

I enjoyed this writing class. First, I will write about “Paragraph”. Paragraph was difficult for me to limit number of words. I always had many things I wanted to write in the paragraphs. I think most difficult theme of paragraph was “Cloning”. Especially, I had more ideas than other paragraphs. However, I have to limit the number of words. It was difficult to get my ideas in shape. I think writing paragraphs made my writing skill in English strong. Also, it was difficult to submit to “gakunaishisyobako”. When I submit my paragraph, many students sit down in front of computer. Therefore, I couldn’t submit paragraphs when I wanted to submit them. Second, I will write about “Journal”. When I was given first journal, I thought that was troublesome. However, when I started to write, I felt it interesting. Paragraphs are limited number of words, but journals are not limited it, so I enjoyed writing journal. Sometimes, themes of journals were difficult. For example, themes which are “negative people” and “something I know how to do that not everyone else knows how to do” were difficult. When I wrote about negative people, I thought I wrote bad things about the negative people. Especially, “something I know how to do” was most difficult theme in journals, so I couldn’t wrote the journal. I didn’t know the way only I know. The themes which were easy to write were “Internet” and “memorable things”. I enjoyed writing journals about them. I thought whether we need the writing textbook or not. We didn’t use the textbook many times in this writing class. I think you should write important things to the white board, and we should write them to our notebook. Although many homework were given in this class, I enjoyed this class, and I could learn many things about rules of grammar I didn’t know.
