How people spend one's private time after work or school? How does the Briton spend one's private time after work or school? Is British life similar to Japanese life? In my case, I often work part-time well about 3 or 4 hours and 4 or 5 times a week. So after that, I sometimes go for a drink with friends and coworkers. On the other days, I go for shopping by my car, visit my friends' house, go to an Internet coffee, and so on.　 I go out at almost night, and I seldom go back to my home. Especially after I entered my university, I have wide circle of friends and clubs in university. The friend of the generation when is about the same as me　cases seem to resemble in my case. There are many kinds of people in Japan, therefore they must have different personal time each, and they have different time to spend on their private time after their school or job and spend with their families or friends etc…From now, I write a broad outline of spending time in Japanese people life. I think that how to spend one's time is different among families each.　For example, fathers’ in the world, I considered that they would do these things: go back home directly and stay at home with family and watching TV, overtime work at his house, go for a drink with his friends or coworkers, play pachinko or spend on his hobbies time etc.　There are many pachinko (a thing such as the slot to bet money on) in Japan and my father went for a pachinko well before, and time to return to the house was late. In mothers' cases; make dinner and spend in a house with her family, go for a drink with friends or group sometimes, spend on her hobbies, do a lot of housework. This case is kind of housewife. There are many housewives In Japan. My mother works part-time, but she hardly changes with a full-time homemaker. She balances work with a family well. Mostly university students or a vocational school student of about 20 years (like me) do part time job and go for a drink with their friends, coworkers, club people, do group activities, sing at the karaoke, bowling, and so on. Many students balance time of the family with school life well. In junior high school students or high school student case: go to supplementary school to pass a senior high school and the university which they want to go, devote to their clubs, enjoy with friends, go shopping and so on.　Most of Japanese parents prepare their children fully for examination for high school or university.　　　Next I'm going to write about after evening's situation in my home town Kumamoto. There are many kinds of places to visit in Kumamoto, for example Japanese style pub (Izakaya), karaoke, bowling, internet coffee, comic coffee shop, and shopping spot etc. People use it according to each purpose. Almost all the Izakaya open from 5 p.m. to in the middle of the night and few Izakaya open until morning. Some izakaya is all we can eat as much as we want and all we can drink as much we want; besides it cost very cheap!! It costs from about 2,000 yen to about 5000 yen. Karaoke is open from at 10 or 11 a.m. to until in the morning. It is the best to hold post-party, and we can drink there. Japanese karaoke is separated private room. We sing songs with friends. There are tambourines and maracas to arouse. Every internet coffee and comic coffee is open 24 hours. If we go to drink and there is not a place to stay in,　we can stay there instead of our house. There are conveniences!! We can drink as much as we want, use computer, read many comics, play billiards, karaoke, ping-pong, play darts, etc... When we go shopping, department stores in Kumamoto close about from at 7:30 p.m. to at 8 p.m. The tenant of the clothes of the shopping mall　close about 9 p.m. until dark, we can buy or choose clothes. Clothes shop is having sale many times. In particular, summer and winter sale is big. And, there are many night spots for men or women in Kumamoto. We can drink and enjoy talking to girls or boys in these shops. They make guests very comfortable and it will be hooked. Especially, the rich come there and they choose the person who liked it and they are served many performances. A person who goes there spends much money on these shops one night. Are there many shops like Japanese shops in England? Last, I write a picture about how English people spend private time in England. Tea and butter cookies are famous in England, so they do afternoon tea. I think about afternoon tea, they have scones and sandwiches with tea in the afternoon and they relax everyday. And they drink in friendship everyone. But I don't imagine after that. Does England resemble in Japan?　 From now, I write about England. I stayed in England about four weeks, and I experienced many kinds of things. In public transport, there were a lot of buses, but no street cars. Buses comes bus stop in time put for 10 minutes in my town. So, I wasn’t late to the school. I seldom watched that student riding a bicycle. The town where I visited, there are many kinds of shops. For example, clothes, soap, shoes, a pub, the shop of the mobile phone.　Though this is not so difference from Japan, I noticed thing, British young people returns at once though the Japanese young people collects in McDonald to rest and talk themselves. It was amazing for me. In the shopping, shops in England, these are too fast to close their shops. Because the most people come there to buy something　on Sunday. But most clothes shops close by 5 o’clock p.m. Moreover 30 cut that a shop closes, shop staff or guard member stand by the door and don’t let customers enter the shop. It is severe, and observes it strictly at time in England. Japan may be more convenient if I do shopping. However, I was very glad that a British sale was very big! But in Leicester, there were not so many pubs. I thought more pubs in Kumamoto. Moreover even to price high, there is no All-you-can-eat and All-you-can-drink pubs. British pub’s food and drink was very tasty and very expensive. My best food is fish and chips. It is the most famous British food. Fish and chips is a little difference each home and restaurant. By the way, I thought there were not so many places to play. Because the British karaoke is totally different from Japan. British karaoke was combined with pub like Japanese bar. The karaoke of Japan is a private room, and we enjoy it. In England case is while drinking with the guest who doesn't know that they enjoy it with the friends. Therefore there are not the young people there. If they look under 21, they have to show ID. There was no bowling center in the down town. I saw just one bowling center in suburbs. There are many shops were gathered. British seems seldom play bowling and of cause there was no Internet café too. So, they can’t stay at down town without pub. They catch a bus or taxi to go back home. Of course, there is no pachinko at all. People do the bet things in cards and the game without doing pachinko. There are not so many game centers too. And they don’t do afternoon tea. The aristocrat seemed to have done this in old times. I was shocked when I knew. I’d like to do that! I’ve been yearning since I’m a high school student. England is very convenient and very beautiful place to visit as sightseeing. There is a funfair in the U.K. and we can get on attractions in a large park. It does not so change with Japan and is interesting. A lot of people come to there on an off day and enjoy it. It was the most thing I was excited. The Briton goes to the church on a holiday and enjoys a barbecue. My host mother did not have a car, and it was single life. Thus I was not able to have such an experience. And Britain's public peace is worse than Japan. Britain's prices are higher than Japan, but British people seem enjoy their own private time. There were few idle places similar with Japan, but I enjoyed British life.

This is my report. I have been to England last year. I made it. I was good student last year. (1481 words)
