I plan to do volunteer work on Christmas. I can give a small child a dream by this volunteer. I look forward to handing a present. I want to feel happy to see the smile of the child. I have never done the volunteer work which can do it in such wonderful experience. It seems to become the memory of unforgettable Christmas. And the plan of New Year's holidays is a byte. It is provoked by a friend and works as a shrine maiden. It is busy work, but looks forward to it at the beginning of the New Year. This is because it wanted to wear costume of a shrine maiden. I like challenging a new thing and am excited. I want to live a satisfying holidays.

I will work part-time at a post office on both days of the Christmas and New Year's holidays. I worked this place when I was a high school's freshman and a sophomore. I took part in the briefing session just yesterday. I have only two day off during winter vacation. I may do overtime but my working hours are basically about three hours. Job involves are classification of New Year's card and I am almost always standing throughout working. Of course, it is not easy, but I am used to do it because I am experienced person. I applied for part-time job with my sister for the first time and she passed it, too. If my sister and I are same workday, I will go to work with her. It takes about twenty minutes by bus from my house to office. So it is easy to commute. I also have the feelings of spending in a house in the Christmas and New Year's holiday. However I want to work hard this year. Also, I want to be careful with cold.

I have some plans for the Christmas and New Year's holidays. First, I drive anywhere with my friends. But we have no plan the day yet. So we will go with freedom. Second, I go to the grandparents’ house in Saitama. I arrive by car from my house to Saitama for 3 hours is close. It is very convenience for me to go and see them. I want to take it easy there. For example, I sleep long time and I take time watching TV. And I’d like to go many Christmas light spots. Also I want to go shrine visit. Then, I hope the next year will be a good year. It’s my plans for the Christmas and New Year's holidays.

I will go back to my hometown Kofu for 2 weeks. I will stay home and spend time with my family. On every Christmas Eve my mother and I go to church. It is a special night. After the service we will have a tea party and enjoy some snacks. On the 30th of December my family have a traditional event. Some of my relatives and my family members visit my grandfather’s house in the country side. We will make sticky rice cakes together in an old fashion. It is a hard work but it really is fun because we share the jobs and make delicious food together. On Jan. 2nd and 3rd all my family members and I will watch Hakone Ekiden, which is the famous long-distance relay road race of universities. I hope Aogaku will be a champion again. On Jan.3rd my old friends of elementary school will come together and have a lunch party to celebrate our twenty years old. I haven’t seen them for a long time. Some of them are college students and some of them are working. I will have a busy but fun winter vacation.

I don't have any plans for the Christmas and New Year's holidays. But I have a lot of things to do. For example, I would like to review my lessons. This is because my examinations are very difficult. I will use a computer in one test. I will write a very long composition in another test. For that reason, I have to study for the tests. I give another example. I would like to go to Tokyo Sky tree. I want to see it close up. I also want to buy many things there. I am impatient for the Christmas and New Year's holidays.

I have some plans for the Christmas and New Year's holidays. For example, first, I will work part-time a lot. Many customers visit the store this season, so my workplace is very busy. I want to serve customers with a smile. Also, I would like to work hard by cooperating with coworkers. Second, I'm going to return home and meet my family and my friends. I will go shopping, go to a movie and have dinner with my local friends. I'm looking forward to spending full time with my family and my friends. Third, I'm going to have dinner together with my university's friends. We will go to the store of cheese. I'm looking forward to having cheese fondue and so on. Finally, I want to enjoy my vacation and I will try hard next year!

I have a plan for Christmas. I will have dinner with my friend. But I still don’t decide which restaurant we will go. Moreover, I don’t decide what to do. I want to see Christmas light, eat good dinner and talk with my friend. I’m very looking forward to it. And New Year’s holidays, I am going to spend good time with my sister and her husband. Because my parents live in Vietnam now, I can’t go back to my town. Anyway, I want to make Osechi with her. I want to go to worship, too. But now, she is pregnant, so we should stay home. I can’t wait the winter vacation!

I have some plans for the Christmas and NewYear’s holidays. At first, I am going to make New Year's cards and write message. Before Christmas, I must put this into the postbox. Next, every year, I celebrate Christmas with all of my family members, eating some food like sushi, cake and chiken. However, this year, I'll celebrate Christmas without my older sister. Because she is going to date with her boyfriend. I feel a bit lonely and miss her, but thinking positively, I'll be able to eat more food on that day! Next, I want to join the one-day bus tour, and will join the nice hot-spring. However I haven't decided who to go there. It is difficult to get a reservation at this time of the year, so I feel pressed. In addition, I'm going to visit my grandmother's grave in Shizuoka during the New Year's holiday, but what I am worried about it is that I've got to go there just with my older sister. This is why there are some cause of worries, but I really hope becoming holiday!!

I think that I want to improvement paetners' support and question quality. paetners' support is that insfficient understand for audience I cannot advice. For example, "this mean..." or "In a word..." etc. I need paetners' opinion more understand. then improve paetners' support .Also question quality is very difficult and difficult to answer. difficult question cannnot continue discussion. I need make continue discussion question. For example, "Do you experience like this topic. How?" or "Do you think this topic problem solution?" etc. Moreover my paetner and I should have eye contact. We less eye contact. That mean our announce not looks debate. Than over I want to improvment points. Next time debate will become good quality.
