My Self Introduction

Hello, everybody. My name is Hiroaki. The family name is Higashikata which is a little strange one in our country. And now, I am going to introduce myself. I came from Japan as you know, but I was not raised in the country for a reason. Today, I live with my parents in Kyusyu prefecture. I am the only child and always wanted a brother or a sister who is almost same age to me when I was a kid. I am a student of a university named Kumamoto Gakuen University. I belong to the foreign language department, so my class mates and I study English and some other languages at there.
Now I am going to tell you something about my hobbies. I often spent my free times watching movies. Not only resent movies but also older movies, just like “Taxi Driver”, “Shining” and “Terms of Endearment”. I love Jack Nicholson’s movies, because all of them are really great. I also have a number of CDs. Frank Sinatra, Barry Manilow, Kenny Rogers and The New Edition, The Blues Brothers and so many ’60 and ’70s musicians. My favorite song is “Jolene” which was sung by Dolly Parton and it’s a pretty old one.
When I was a high school student, I used to drawing pictures because I was belonging to an Art Club. I have learned a lot of things at there. Now I still love to drawing.
At the end, I really hope that we could share a good time these couple weeks. My English skills are very poor, but I will do my best to improve them to have great conversation with you. Thank you.
