Speech!
Lovely weather this weekend. Too bad I have so much homework.
Speaking of which, I have to write a speech (in Japanese, obviously) for kaiwa class, on the topic of 日本の[something or other]. The speech is supposed to end up 3-4 minutes in length. I'm going to write about 日本の食べ物 (nihon-no tabemono; Japanese food). Posting my (very) rough draft here in the hopes that my sempai will mercifully help me with grammar and vocab (I'm trying to use quite a bit that I don't really know...).
English: Because of its varied and interesting flavors, Japanese food is wonderful. It has been influenced by Japanese culture and the cuisine of various other countries. Some of my favorite foods are udon and gyuudon (beef on rice). I like udon because it is tasty and cheap. There is an udon shop at the Carrefour near KUIS, so I often eat lunch there. What I most often order is called "kama-tama-udon", a food made with udon, egg, and onion, which only costs 330 yen. I like gyuudon because it's fast (to make) and convenient. You usually order from a vending machine, hand in the ticket, then get your gyuudon a little while later. I like gyuudon served with egg and kimchee, I usually mix them together. However, be careful. If you eat too much kimchee, it's too spicy.
Japanese: たようでおもしろい味があるから、日本の食べ物はすばらしいですね。 日本のぶんかと色々な国の料理にえいきょうされました。 私の好物はうどんや牛丼ですよ。 安くて美味しいので、うどんが好きです。 神田外語大学のそばのカレフールにうどん屋があるから、ひるごはんをそこでよく食べます。 一番よくちゅうもんするのは「釜玉うどん」と言ううどんとねぎと玉子の料理ですが、３３０円だけですよ。 牛丼はつくるの早くて便利です。 いつも、じどうはんばいきでちゅうもんして、きっぷを出して、短時間で牛丼を持ちますね。 たまごとキムチがある牛丼は大好きですが、よくまぜました。 でも、気をつけて。 キムチを食べすぎると、もっとからいですよ。
I'll be editing this as I work on it.
