Yesterday I went to Sue Middle school and we had the 9th grade students write short messages to all their classmates and teachers in English, similar to how American kids write messages in a yearbook.
Each student was given the equivalent to an "autograph" page, but in Japan the have a special name for this item called "yosegaki."
The 9th graders at Sue Middle school have the best English I've ever come across in students before. They all wrote original messages and tried to put real meaning into them. At least the girls did. It was precious.
"Do your best in highschool!"
"You are always bright. You make me bright:)"
"Don't forget me"
"Stay cheerful!"
The boys' messages were hilarious. One boy wrote the same thing on everyone's cards:
"I love AKB48" (a Japanese girl band) "I love baseball. Goodbye."
"Don't worry.
Nevermind"
"You are interesting. I wish you happy future"
"I love you. Let's get married" (written to another boy)
This class is always fun. It'll be very sad to see them graduate in March.
