I want to smile & laugh every day!

Hi everyone, I'm Takehiko. How are you getting on?
In this article, I'm going to talk about smiling & laughing.
I love smiling & laughing. When I smile or laugh, I feel happy & better. Actually I'm not so sure why I feel so. From my perspective, smiling & laughing make me feel happy & better.
By the by, according to some results of some scientific examinations or researches, smiling & laughing are good for humans health. I agree with that cos in the past I felt unhappy, annoyed, nervous, anxiety, or other negative feeling when I got angry & didn't smile & laugh.
Plus, I think when I talk to someone they are pleased if I smile or laugh. I'm happy & pleased if someone I talk to smile or laugh during the talks.
Anyway that's it for today. Thank you for visiting & reading this article. How were it & my English? I hope you guys visit & read my next article if you like. Until next time, see ya.
As always, before I go, I leave a picture of bread you can have in Japan.

How can I be polite when I use English?

Hi buddies, I'm Takehiko again. Welcome to my blog, & nice to see you guys again. How are you?
In this article, I'm going to talk about how I can be polite rather than rude when I use English.
I'm an English learner & my English isn't perfect for now. However, even so, I don't want to be rude. I'm always thinking of how I can be polite.
I've been learning English & I know some polite English expressions or words. For example, When I request someone to do something I could say "Could you possibly do something for me?", "I was wondering if you could do something for me." and so on.
I'm also careful not to use rude or inappropriate expressions or words when I use English. I also know some English swear words or expressions, but I don't want to  write them in this article.
Plus, I'm a Japanese speaker & know many rude or swear words or expressions as well. However, I try not to use them deliberately in my daily lives cos I don't like using them.
Anyway that's it from me today. How were today's article & my English? Thank you so much for visiting & reading this article. I'm truly looking forward to seeing all you guys again soon. Bye now.
Before going, I leave a pic of bread I have in Japan as always.

I've found it fun to blog

Hi mates, I'm Takehiko here in Japan. What's the latest?
In this article, I'm going to talk about running a blog. Well, it's been a couple of days since I started my blog, & it's fun for me to blog every day.
To be honest, at first I wasn't sure what to write & if I can continue running my blog in English every day. Now, however, I don't worry so much.
I always try to write what I want to write in English although my English vocabulary is limited. When I write articles, I usually use several online English dictionaries such as Oxford Learner's Dictionaries, etc. I'm certainly sure my English vocabulary will improve if I don't give up writing articles in English every day.
By the way, maybe you know my articles are usually brief. There're some reasons for this.
Firstly, it's easy to blog briefly. If it's easy to blog every day, it's also easy to continue running my blog. I think that's a good idea.
Secondly, it takes me fairly long time & lot of my energy to write articles in English. However, I believe I'll be able to write articles more fast than now if I continue my blog.
Maybe the audiences of my blog feel my articles are boring, stressful, & so on, but I can't quit for now. I want to proceeding as long as I can. I want to improve my blog & my English as well.
Anyway, that's it for this article. How were it & my English? Thanks a lot for visiting & reading today's article. I'd really love to see you guys again soon. Until next my article, b'bye.
Before wrapping up, I leave a picture of bread you can bought in Japan.

Many Japanese people are doing "konkatsu"

Hi pals, I'm Takehiko. Welcome to my blog. How've you been? I'm super pleased to see you again.
In this article, I'd like to share with you a Japanese word, konkatsu. This word is a compound word of "kekkon" & "katsdou".
In Japanese, kekkon means marriage & katsudou means an activity. Konkatsu is an activity that people who want to marry someone do in order to find their marriage partner.
By the bye, what do people who do konkatsu do? They do various activity such as using the Internet & look for their partner, asking their friends or relatives to give information about women or men who want to marry someone, or even looking for women or men & try to talk to them in the street or other places.
Well, if you're interested in konkatsu, I leave the link of an article about konkatsu, & you can read it to find out more.
Anyway that's it from me in this article. How were it & my English? Thanks a million to visit & read my blog. I really want to see you guys again soon, so I strongly recommend you to visit & read my blog again if you like.
Before I go, as usual, I leave a picture of bread sold in Japan. Goodbye, have a nice Friday, TGIF!

I read various news on the Internet.

Hi there, I'm Takehiko. How's it going?
In this article, I'm going to talk about news websites around the world such as BBC, CNN, and so on.
I also read Japan Times. What's that? Well, it's an English news website in Japan. It deals with a lot of subjects about Japan (it also deals with news around the world).
Thanks to the development of the Internet, I can collect lots news & information from many news websites easily. Well actually, they usually share them in English, so it's slightly hard to read for me. I believe, however, reading news in English should improve my English & I want to continue it as well as I can.
Anyway, that's it for today's article. How were it & my English? Please join me again soon if you'd like to. I'm really looking forward to see you guys again. Thanks a bunch for visiting & reading this article. Bye bye.
As always, I leave a picture of bread sold in Japan. Looks good, huh?

I love birds so much!

Hello everyone, I'm Takehiko. What's up?
In this article I'm going to talk about how much I love birds. So as usual, let's get started. Are you ready, guys?
When I watch birds I'm happy & chilling out. But why? Well, I'm not sure the exact reason but I can say birds' actions are interesting to me & I think birds are cute.
Especially in almost every morning, some birds fly to around my flat. That's lucky for me. They're tweeting & I feel morning has come. They always seem to be full of beans.
I also love recording birds. I record them & I can watch the videos anytime I like. By the bye, I've published several birds videos on YouTube. I leave one of them the end of this article, so why don't you watch it if you like?
Anyway that's it from me today. Thanks for visiting & reading my blog. How were it & my English? I really hope you come here again if you're interested in me & my blog. I'll be back soon, bye for now.

Do you use SNS?

Hi everyone, I'm Takehiko, the author of this blog. What's up?
In this article, I'm going to talk about SNS, abbreviation for Social Networking Sites. Nowadays, you know, there're many SNS such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and so on & you can use & enjoy them easily. SNS is popular in Japan as well, & many Japanese people are using & enjoying them every day.
I often enjoy Twitter, particularly in order to improve my English. I follow many accounts in English. They use English, and I can learn from their tweets & imitate them.
I don't use other SNS, but they also look enjoyable. If I have chance to enjoy them in the future, I'd like to.
From my perspective, SNS has completely transform the world. You can easily know what other people are doing currently, collect a lot of information, news, etc. around the world, & communicate with various people.
Anyway, I'll finished today's article although I still have a lots to write. This is because I know you're busy & it takes me a lot of energy to write blog in English cos I'm not used to English so much.
Thank you all of you guys for coming to my blog & reading so much. How were today's article & my English? It was great seeing you again today. I'm really looking forward to seeing you guys again soon next article. Bye.
Oh, before I go I leave a picture of bread sold in Japan. I love bread, how about you?

Are you nervous on Mondays?

Hi guys, I'm Takehiko. Extremely pleased to see you again, how's it going?

I got up a couple of minutes ago, & I'm writing this article now. Did you sleep well? If yes, good to hear. But if no, I really hope you can sleep well tonight.

Anyway as usual, let's move on to today's subject. Many Japanese people, actually I'm really not sure the exact numbers of them, usually feel nervous on Mondays.

But why? According to some results of some researches, surveys and so on, after weekends many people have a feeling workdays start again & they're boring, tiring & annoying for them.

Okay, that's it for today's article. How were it & my English? Thank you so much for visiting & reading my blog. I'd really love to see you guys again soon. Have a nice Monday, bye.

Before I go, I leave a photo of bread sold in Japan. Then, see ya.

It's Sunday today!

Hi, I'm Takehiko from Japan.
Nice to see you again. How you going? Is everything alright? It's Sunday today & it's five minutes past seven a.m. in Japan now.
By the bye, I'm writing this blog listening to BBC podcasts (http://www.bbc.co.uk/podcasts). I really love downloading & listening to them every day.
Anyway, let's move on to today's subject. Do you love Sundays? And what do you do on Sundays usually? I learn & practice English, enjoy the Internet, do the household chores (cos I live in a flat on my own), & so on.
Many Japanese people are off on Sundays. They do various activities such as going grocery shopping, watching TV, enjoying drives or DIY (this stands for Do It Yourself), etc.
I want to ask you if you love Sundays. For me, the answer is "Yes, absolutely.".
Anyway, that's it for today's my blog. How were it & my English? Thank you very much indeed for coming & reading. I'm looking forward to seeing you again next time. Have & enjoy a nice Sunday, bye! (It took me approximately 30 minutes to finish this blog ! It's half past seven a.m. !)

Many Japanese people are learning &practicing English nowadays.

Hi there, I'm Takehiko. Is everything going well?
Nice to see you again. I'm looking forward to see you again so much.
I'm going to write about Japanese people learning & practicing English. Including me, many Japanese hope to speak English fluently nowadays.
But why? Maybe there're many reasons for this. For me, this is because I want to understand information, news, & so on in English. Plus, I want to communicate with many people who speak English around the world.
To be honestly, it's extremely hard to learn English but I want to continue learning & practicing English as long as I live (or should I say as long as I can?). In fact, I've found it fun for me to learning & practicing English every day even though it's sometimes tiring & bored.
Anyway, that's it for today's blog & from me. Thank you so much for visiting & reading my blog. I'm glad if you come to my blog & read it again if you like. Until next time, cheers then, see you next time.

Do you enjoy or use YouTube?

Hi, it's me, Takehiko. How you doing?
Anyway, I have a question for you guys. Do you enjoy or use YouTube?
If you ask me, I can answer yes, I do.
Well actually I'd been enjoying YouTube only for watching, but I started to record videos & upload them on YouTube several months ago.
Today, I'd love to show you guys a video about a bird I recorded. I love bird as much as English. How bout you guys?
I'm afraid I'm going to finish today's blog now. Thank you for visiting & reading my blog guys. Bye the bye, how were my English & blog? If you want to visit & read my blog, why don't you? Anyway, have a nice day all you guys, bye for now.
Oh, I almost forgot to say TGIF.

I started my blog from now on.

Hi, I'm Takehiko.
Nice to meet you. Allow me to introduce myself to you.
I'm a Japanese guy from Japan. I've been learning & practicing English for a couple of years on my own.
I love English & I want to improve my English somehow, and I'm committed to using English every day. In order to improve, what I'm doing are such as learning from online English dictionaries, using Twitter in English, record videos in English & upload on YouTube, and so on.
I'm not so sure my English is so good, but I can't stop learning & practicing at all. I'd be happy & grateful if you read my blogs, leave your comments, & above all give me your constructive feedback about my English.
Anyway, thank you read my first post so much. I plan to write new blog from now on, so why don't you visit & read if you like & don't mind? It's time to wrap up, take care.
