Hi everyone. This Hideki Takase, please just call me Hide.

Let's begin talking about myself.
I'm from Japan and am 20years old.
When I was in Japan, I was a university student and had studied Economics.
For me, studying Economics was really exciting so I belonged to a club which holds study sessions by student themselves. It was extremely fun for me to attend such a session because there were a lot of hardworking students and we had tried to improve by learning from others.

I have two hobbies, watching movies and taking photo. Sad to say, I haven't watched any movies since I came to London as I have been busy in order to become accustomed to life in London. But, I am really happy to be able to take lots beautiful photo like Hyde Park, Green Park, and towns of course.

Next, I'd like to introduce my family, but unfortunately I don't have any picture of my family so I 'd like to introduce one of my friends.

This is one of my friends, Tsubasa. This photo was taken this August. I have been known each other for more than 2 years. We are in the same university and also in same seminar. Lot's of my friends study abroad, so Tsubasa also will study abroad in Glasgow University in Scotland. He likes playing and watching football so he really looking forward going Scotland to see football games directly.
The one word which can describe him is "neat". He is crazy to clean his room. Every time I went to his room, I was always surprised what a clean room it was.

Well, I think it's enough to show myself and one of my friends.
I hope we can know each other well with this blog as soon as possible.
Thank you.

    Hi Hideki -
    Thanks for taking the time to write such an interesting post - and it's great to see you've learned how to use the expression HARD-WORKING as well!!

    I must admit, I know almost nothing about Economics. It's a real gap in my knowledge of how the world works. After the financial crisis of the last few years, I've read a few books abut the crash to help me try and understand why it all happened, but it's still hard to get my head round.

    Good to hear you love movies. Me too! What kind of films are you into? I mostly watch either new indie films from around the world or else old cult classics. I like a lot of Japanese things. In fact, one of my favourite ever movies is Japanese - the English title was AFTERLIFE and it was directed by Hirokazu Koreeda and was made in 1998.

    Recently, I've also been watching a lot of Iranaian films.There's some amazing stuff. The best film I've seen this year was Iranian. It was called Nader and Simin, A Separation.

    If you want to see cheap films in London, the best place is The Prince Charles cinema in Leicester Square. If you're more interested in underground / arthouse movies, try The Curzon on Shaftesbury Avenue.

    Hope Tsubasa is enjoying Glasgow. It's a great city, but really cold in the winter. They're crazy about football up there. The Glasgow derby - Rangers / Celtic - is one of the world's great matches!!

    Oh, before I forget, here's some useful new bits of language for you:

    It was extremely fun for me to attend such a session

    sounds better like this:

    I REALLY ENJOYED ATTENDING THESE SESSIONS

    ------------------------------------------------
    I have been busy in order to become accustomed to life in London

    sounds better as

    I'VE BEEN REALLY BUSY TRYING TO GET USED TO LONDON LIFE

    ------------------------------------------------
    I have been known each other for more than 2 years

    should be:

    WE'VE KNOWN EACH OTHER FOR A COUPLE OF YEARS NOW
    ------------------------------------------------
    fINALLY, He is crazy to clean his room. Every time I went to his room, I was always surprised what a clean room it was

    is better like this:

    HE'S CRAZY ABOUT KEEPING HIS ROOM CLEAN. EVERY TIME I GO TO SEE HIM, I'M ALWAYS SURPRISED AT HOW CLEAN HIS ROOM IS!

    Hope this helps.
    Hugh

    Ha ha!

    Your comments made me laugh, Chen Chen.

    Hide actually emailed me on Friday to say that he wouldn't be coming to class because he wasn't feeling very well. Hopefully he recovered in time to enjoy his weekend - and we'll see him tomorrow in class.
