My name is Akiko Hattori.
My purpose for studying English is to be able to speak it fluently and get a job. I `ve
been New York for 8 months. However, I can`t still speak English well. I feel like that I
haven`t much improved in speaking English than before. If I may stay same level, I
ashamedly cannot go back my country.
Currently,not only do I learn English,but I also leaen a jazz dance. I usually take dance
lesssons 5 or 6 classes per week. So, Since I came to New York, I have been extremely
busy every day. Nevertheless, I really like to live in New York. Because, I live life to the
fullest.
