 Japan's national soccer team's World Cup campaign ended yesterday. I was not particularly interested in watching soccer matches, but I watched the first game to the last game together with my friend at her house. I usually don't watch soccer games, but my friends told me who was strong, who was weak, who was good at soccer, and so on. Thanks to them, I was able to enjoy watching the games. I was very excited to see the World Cup this time because of the great comeback against the strong opponents. Unfortunately, we did not make the top 8 for the first time, but it was a very good match. I would like to watch the next World Cup again.

 Last Sunday I played with my relative's uncle in Okayama. He used to live in Okayama when he was a student, so he showed me around Okayama. It has been about half a year since I came to Okayama. However, I never went out except to go back and forth between school and home, so I did not know anything about Okayama at all. This time, I visited Okayama Castle and Okayama Korakuen Garden, which are famous sightseeing spots in Okayama. There were so many people at Okayama Castle that I could not go up to the top. I would like to climb up there next time. At the end of the tour, we had a delicious meal. It was very enjoyable.

 This weekend I went to visit a friend who lives in Osaka. In Osaka, I did some sightseeing. On Saturday, we went to Osaka Castle. The view from the castle tower was very beautiful. Osaka is very crowded and I got drunk from the crowds.On Sunday, I went to Tsutenkaku Tower. I was surprised that Tsutenkaku Tower is smaller than I imagined. It was a very enjoyable two days.

 I would like to talk about my life in soccer. I started playing soccer in the second grade of elementary school. I continued to play soccer until high school. I am playing soccer in college. I am not a very good soccer player and could hardly play in any games. So I am surprised that I could continue to play soccer for such a long time. The reason why I have been able to continue is because I just love soccer.

 In this issue, I would like to describe my own college life. How is your college life? I heard that nearly 70% of the students at this university are from other prefectures. So I think those students are living alone. Me too. When I tried living alone, I found that it was much harder than I had imagined. Especially cooking, cleaning, laundry, etc. are very hard. I realized how much help I usually get from my family. However, I personally prefer living alone. How about you?
