The Autumn



 
亀岡2015年

This morning I went to Kameoka . The Autumn has started, so many tree's leaves are changing color. They are not maple leaves, but still they are really beautiful. In both Britain and Japan, the Autumn is my favorite season, so I  have really become energetic. Usually in the Autumn I take a lot of photos, but this year I do not want to take any. I do not know the reason, but I think this year experience is more important than photography. In 1999 I first saw the maple leaves in Kyoto, there were amazingly beautiful. At that time Kyoto was very popular, but recently I think Kyoto has become too popular. There are a lot of new hotels and there are too many tourists, so when I have the time, I plan to run away from Kyoto. This year I plan to often go to beautiful quiet Kameoka.

今朝亀岡に行った。秋が始まったので、たくさんの木の葉っぱの色も変っている。もみじじゃないけど本当に綺麗だ。イギリスも日本も秋は私の一番好きな季節なので、本当に元気になった。たいてい秋の時,たくさん写真を撮るが、今年、写真を撮りたくない。理由が分からないけど、今年写真より経験の方が大切だと思う。1999年京都のもみじを初めて見た。非常に美しかった。その時京都は大人気だったが、最近人気過ぎになったと思う。たくさんの新しいホテルがある。観光者が多過ぎなので、時間があったら、京都を逃げるつもり。この秋よく綺麗で静かな亀岡に行くつもりだ。

Before class please write a small essay entitled "The Autumn". You can write anything about the Autumn. It should be between 120 and 150 words long. Please write carefully and make a copy for me to check.
