Essays “If I were in CZ…”
”I’d like to play baseball even in CZ ”
By J.H. 16 years old
I have been absorbed in playing baseball after school every day and even on holidays
in Japan. That’s why I would like to play baseball even if I am in Czech Republic. It’s a
pity almost all friends around me in CZ don’t play baseball. Instead they play other
sports like football, ice hokey, volleyball and table tennis. If I cannot find members to
play baseball with, I will try to show students around me how to play baseball. I will tell
them how exciting it is and try to let them understand the pleasure of baseball. Then,
I’m sure they will learn to like baseball.
By the way, students here can work part time if they want. But in Japan high school
students are forbidden to work without the school master’s permission. So working
during high school days is a very rare case in Japan. In CZ I want to work in my free
time. As my father is an owner of a restaurant and I often help him with working in the
kitchen. Though I didn’t get money from my parent by helping him, I will work at a
restaurant to get money in CZ. I don’t want to depend on my parents too much for my
stay so I will work as much as possible. When I go on to a college I will work more and
support myself. While I’m in Czech Republic, I will understand this country more by
studying, working and having fun.
