first homework

Hello my name is Hajime Shimakawa. I come from Tokyo, Japan. I am a undergraduate student at Keio university in Japan. In England I am living in Camden town. I love sports, especially baseball and lacrosse. So now the sport I am interested in the most is lacrosse. Do you know lacrosse? It is originally an Indian sport and really speedy and has hard contacts. I have played lacrosse since I entered my university. I am planning to continue playing lacrosse in London. My major subject is Business and Commerce. So also at this university I am going to study business. Especially I want to study enterprise and management companies. My job has been a tutor to teach mathmatics for an elementary student for one year. I always became happy when my student got good marks on his test.

One reason of my studying abroad is to speak, write and read English more fluently. Present circumstances of my English are weak in areas of speaking and listening. Therefore these are my self-study targets. To improve my weak points I have to carry out three tasks in my self-study. First, I have to buy one academic vocavulary book and remember at least one chapter per week and write example sentences using the new words I have learnt in the book. Second, to speak well about my subject business, I will read more books and articles written in English. Third, to speak more fluently I will try to have chances to talk with native speakers. For example joining the lacrosse club practices on weekends , or going to dinner with my friends who speak English. In conclusion I think the best way to speak English well is that I use it as often as I can.

Thanks for your interesting introduction. As you say, pursuing your sports interests should help with meeting English speakers to practise speaking.
For your subject area, you could try looking at www.ft.com for business articles. Include a link to what you've read on your blog and a comment/summary with any new vocabulary.
