About my hobby

     I like playing volleyball. I’ll write about the reasons why I like volleyball.

     First, volleyball is team sport. It is important to cooperate with teammates because it has a rule that we must not touch the ball two consecutive times. Therefore we have to think with each other. In short, volleyball is the best sport to play with teammates.

     Second, we have to use our brain to play it. We need move before the ball comes to our court. Therefore we have to expect the motion of the ball. In other words, it is very interesting sport.

     In conclusion, volleyball is very exciting sport.  

My hometown

　   I was born and  live in Gifu. It is a good place to live in. I'll write about my hometown.

　　
     First, there are many mountains and rivers. For example, Nagara river is one of the most famous river in Gifu. It is famous for ‘ukai’. Ukai is a traditional way to fish with cormorants. Also Mt.Kinka is a beautiful mountain. There is a big castle in this mountain. In other words, Gifu has very beautiful nature.

     Second, there are many exciting festivals. For example, fire festival in my town is very exciting festival. People carry a portable shine and go into fire fall. Women cannot participate in this festival, but it is fun to see it. In short, Gifu is an exciting city.

     In conclusion, Gifu is a very good place. How about visiting Gifu?
