Script and Recording

Hello. My name is Shiori Kobayashi. I'm 20 years old. My birthday is September 3rd. My blood type is A. I go to KGU and studying English. I'm belonging to walking club in KGU. I graduated from Luther Gakuin high school. I also studied English there. I belonged to cooking club in the high school.

I have 5 members in my family. My father, mother, grand mother, older brother and me. My parents are high school teachers. My father is a chemistry teacher, and my mother is a home economics teacher. My brother is a graduate student and lives in Nara. My grand mother is a hard worker in my house. She often cooks dinner for us.

My hometown is Nishigoshi town. It takes about 40 minutes to go to KGU from my hometown by car. My hometown’s flower is the sunflower. And my hometown’s tree is the oak tree. I like sunflowers because when I was little, I used to see many sunflowers near my house. My hometown has a spa facility, a mango soft ice cream which is very popular there. It is so sweet!

I belong to walking club at KGU. The club has about sixty people. I usually hang out with my club members, for example, we drink at a bar or friends’ house, we go to karaoke or we go to anywhere by my car. It is very fun. I am a manager of my club website. I often take some club members’ pictures by my phone, and I put those pictures on the website.

I like to play basketball. When I was junior high school student, I belonged to basketball club. Basketball is hard to play, because we have to run many time in a game, but it is very exiting. I really like the club members in junior high school, so club time was very fun. I also started to like playing basketball. Also, I like to watch baseball. My circle members often play it, so I go to watch it. They are usually not so good, but they look cool when they play it.

My favorite subject is English. I have studied it since 10 years old. I went to English conversation lesson with my friends when I was elementary schoolchild. It was like a game not studying. When I was junior high school student, my grade was all A for 3 years, because I really liked English and I studied it hard. In high school, I belonged to English department. Everyone liked English in my class, so English became difficult. We studied it many hours in my high school. I like English, because English can be speak foreigner. I want to talk many people. I study English because I like English. If I go foreign country, I can talk them by English. I have to learn it more.

My favorite music is American R&B. I especially like Chris Brown. He is only20 years old. His song and voice are very nice. There are many good songs. I like a song that “With You”. This is love song.Also, I like T-Pain. His voice is very unique like a robot’s voice in his songs. His songs entertain me, so I often listen them.

I will tell you about my travel experience. I went to Okinawa with my club members in this spring. I had have never been there. Okinawa was very nice place. There was beautiful sea in Okinawa. I had have never seen such a beautiful sea. I was surprised at it, and Okinawa has many English signboards, because there were many American people. Also, I went to Himeyuri memorial hall. I learned about the Second World War there. This trip became very nice experience for me.

I have a thing that I want to try. It is bungee jumping. When I went to New Zealand, there were some bungee jumping places, but it was too expensive and I didn’t have enough time to bungee jump. However, I am sure that it is so exacting. I saw a men who did bungee jump. It looks fearful, but he was laughed. I will do bungee jumping in New Zealand someday.
