   MY HOST FAMILY

      I'm in Urbana-Champaign.  Every day, I'm surprised many thing.  My host family
       are very kind.  They take me here and there.  My host father's name is Bryan.  He is
       giologist.  His office is built in University of Illinois.  My host mother's name is Lou.
       She is Chinese.  She came from Peking.  They are interestied in food.  Especially sea
       food.  Japanese cuisine has a lot of sea food.  So, they are also interested in Japanese
       cuisine.  So, I made some Japanese cuisine for them.  For example, ONIGIRI, MISO
       soup, SUSHI etc.  I have been glad when they say the tastes are good.  They are my
       second parent.  I like them very much.  I want them to come to Japan.  And, I want to
       guide them to anyplace.

   MY DREAMS

         I want to be a librarian.  Because I like reading, and books.  When I started reading, I
       was eight years old.  My elementary school has a small library.  And, there is very
       comfortable for me.  I think that is the reason why I want to be a librarian.  If I can,
       I also want to work in the U.S.  Now, I'm happy I'm surrounded with books.  Librarys
       are the one of my favorite places.  So, when I can build own house, and if I have enough
       money then, I want to build own library.  I want tp live with surrounded books.
