Eclipse and Eclipse

I watched eclipse on USTREAM broadcast on Monday before going to work. After watching it, I went to work and I used Eclipse for Java program coding.

Shikoku 88 Temples Henro

Last night, I went to Shinjuku and I rode on a bus bound for Tokushima. Today, I arrived at Tokushima and I began to Shikoku Henro by a car in the morning. I visited 17 temples so far. I am going to go to Kochi in the early morning tomorrow. I wish I would be able to go around all of 88 temples during these consecutive holidays.

English Conversation Time Trial

I bought a NHK published book for English learners in order to learn English conversation. The text book introduced how to respond to frequently used questions in daily life. Although every phrase is grammatically easy, I cannot come up with them quickly. I will read the book some times and internalize the phrases gradually.

Hello, how_to_write_English-san,
It sounds like very good to improve your conversation skill.
Please let me know how good the program is after you experienced it several times.

I do not have a radio, so I just read the book without listning to the program. The contents are suitable for conversation beginners like me.

BBQ Party

Our department workers had a large scale BBQ party under cherry blossom trees yesterday. The number of participants reached to 118 including two dogs and a turtle. I and other young workers experienced many difficulties to carry out the party. One of the toughest things for me is that I was not able to drink at all because I was a driver of the food procurement team on the day.

You must be working for a large company. A cherry-blossom-viewing party for just a department in a company attracted more than 100 people!? Incredible. I'm sure those who attended the party felt very grateful to you party organizers. I'm just wondering, though, how the turtle enjoyed the party.

[how_to_write_english]

The turtle enjoyed eating vegetables.

BBQ Party Preparation

I and other younger workers are going to have a BBQ party under cherry blossom trees next Saturday. We invited all our department workers. The party will have more than 100 people in total. I went to a 100 yen shop to buy things for the party with a coworker after work tonight.

Hajimemashite. I find it really impressive and inspiring that you've been keeping English diary for the past three years! I also have the impression that you are very grammatically-minded, meaning you seem to be paying attention to grammar when you write. I found an instance in the subjunctive mood in one of your entries. I sensed the orientation for precision, just the kind I would find in a computer programmer. Very inspiring.

Thank you for your comment. I am a software engineer who sometimes writes program codes, so I am attentive to English grammar as well as programming grammar.
