How do we say when we exchange business cards?

…◇…◇…◇…◇…◇…◇…◇…◇…◇…◇…◇…◇…◇…◇…◇…
まず初めは一般的に紹介などのお話をすればいいよ。

例えば、 "My name is ~. Please to meet you."「~と申します。お会いできて光栄です。」
"Nice to make your acquaintance."「お知り合いになれて嬉しいです。」

その時に握手をすると思うけど、しっかりと強すぎず弱すぎずに握ることと、スマイルを忘れないでね。そして少しだけ会話をして、その後に名刺交換をするといいよ。
名刺交換するときは、
"I would like to give you my business card."「私の名刺をお渡しさせて頂きます。」
相手が片手で名刺を受け取ったり、受け取った後すぐ財布やポケットに入れても驚かないでね。がんばってね!

German and Switzer land


I met a close friend yesterday who got married in this August.

She went back from honeymoon and she gave me some suvenir.

She went to German and Switzerland.


We enjoyed talkng, eating, shopping and walking in the park!

Long time no see...

Sorry for getting out of here for a long time^-^;;
I wasn't in the mood of wrinting in English these days.
To be frank, I was lazy.

I have news about English.
First, I started to go to the English conversation school from this Sep.
Next, I bought a new electric dictionary.

So now I'm in better envirnment to study English than before.V(^^)V

*about the picture*
I bought a chocolate bar at Ed ;the supermarket in Paris
but it was really big, so I took a picture.
Can you see how big it is?


I went to Paris via Shanghai from July13 to 19

and now I'm recovering form jet lag.

Paris is so beautiful city that I can't express everything in my words,

but I strongly recommend to go there the people who have never been.

PIRATES of the CARIBBIAN ~AT WORLD'S END~


I went to see the movie, PIRATES of the CARIBBIAN ~AT WORLD'S END~ the night before yesterday and today I found this picture which three main characters are in.
I think all of them look better in the movie.
When I see this picture,
I could misunderstand them as just really cool people but actually huge number of audiences have lost their heart to them after watching this series of movie.
they act pireates completely!!
As of my type, I love Johnny Depp. ha ha !

Yesterday's dishes I cooked at the school.


This is some Japanese foods and after I ate them, I also ate sweets named KUZU MANJYU.

Aim at TOEIC exam in this month.

I'm going to take the TOEIC exam on 24th of this month and only 2 weeks left.

Nowadays I use a textbook of a sample exam to study.

Actually I don't spare long time to prepare,
but I'm trying to study everyday even on the short time and
at least, I want to finish reviewing all over the book.

Although this book is thin, it has the excellent explanations for each question.
So I should use it as effective as possible.
