How to cook the Temaki-Sushi

　　　　Temaki-sushi is a Japanese traditional food. We eat it when we have a party with our 


friends or relatives. In my case, I often eat it with my family in weekend when I lived in Japan. It 


looks difficult to make it. However, it is very easy for us to cook if you follow certain steps. First, 


you should prepare warm rice by using rice cooker. But, be careful not to mistake the quantity of 


water. If you missed, rice would not be delicious because rice was very tough. And then, you have 


to put vinegar to the warm rice unlike the Onigiri this time. Second, we should prepare to Neta. It 


means ingredient which we put on the warm rice. For example, there are raw fishes, meats and 


vegetables. These ingredients help the warm rice to be more delicious. Third, we have to choose 


which Neta to put on the warm rice by ourselves. Also, we need to warp the warm rice and the 


Neta in nori. Be careful not to put  a lot of the warm rice because it is difficult to warp them.


Once you have followed theses simple steps, you can cook delicious Temaki-sushi if you have 


never cooked them.

          Anyone has stress without us noticing. Also, we cannot avoid having stress. Someone says having much stress is not good for our health. Sometimes stress bring about serious bad effect on our health. There are depression, skin irritation and hair loss. These bad effects make our feeling sad or uneasy .By the way, what is case of stress? In my case, there are two causes of stress. First, it is having a lot of homework. For example, I am taking two AEC summer class now. Summer class is just only 8weeks. So, my teacher gives me much homework every day. And then, I have to do them in less time. Also, sometimes I have to solve difficult questions. This situation is very stressful for me. Then I cannot help feeling stress. Second, it is doing part time job. For instance, when I lived in Japan, I did part time job at the supermarket. Sometimes I had to deal with claims from customers. They were very excited when they complained. I could not but say I am so sorry many time even if I did not do bad things to customers. This situation is very stressful for me. And then I had a lot of stress. Regardless of cause of stress, having much stress is not good for our health. So, we should understand cause and effect of stress.

Different types of vacations

              We have different types of vacations; relaxing vacation, adventure vacation, and sightseeing vacation.

We can release our stress during this vacation because we can do what we want to. Second, adventure vacation means people try to go outsight without just staying inside house.

My favorite palce on campus

　　　Rec center gives me two advantages.  What is a Rec center?   It is a place where we can play sports or do exercise. Where is it? It locate in west of campus near health center. What are two advantages?  First, we can use expensive machines for free if you are KU students. This is good for your household economy.  If I try to use training machines out of campus in like gym, it takes a lot of money. Second, we can enjoy playing soccer or basketball with my friends because Rec center has a lot of soccer and basketball court. You can strength your friendships by playing sports in there. Also, you have opportunity to make friends who play soccer or basketball in there. For these reasons, I think Rec center gives me two advantages .
