My favorite country

France is one of my favorite countries. It has attracted me for a long time and there are many things what I want to do in France. In particular, there are three things what I really want to do in France.

  Firstly, I want to hear some orchestra performances in Paris. My favorite comic is “Nodame cantabile” and it’s a start of knowing about orchestra. The main character, Nodame, studies music at the Conservatoire national superieur de Musique de Paris. She often goes to some concerts and many kinds of classical music are introduced in the story. It’s possible for me to go to a concert and hear a live performance in Kumamoto. In addition, I have a few MD which are recorded various pieces of classical music. However, I want to hear a real performance at a French concert hall. Even if we have few knowledge of music, the concert would entertain us. It is said that there are a lot of concert halls in Paris. So we can know a schedule from seeing many advertisements when we walk a street. From thinking about it, it makes me excited. So what I want to do in France is go to concert hall and hear an orchestra performance in Paris.

  Secondly, I want to see French historic structures. World history was my major of geography and history in my high school days. Then I learned about French classical architectures; Romanesque, Gothic, Renaissance and Baroque architectures. For example, they are Chartres Cathedral, Nortre-Dame, Palace of Versailles and so on. My teacher taught us the difference of them in each dates. I want to compare them and see for myself. Also there are other historic buildings which I learned. For example, one of them is in the Place de la Bastille. The Bastille was the beginning of the French Revolution on the 14^th of July in 1789. It’s interesting for me because my birthday is July 14^th. I have only seen them in pictures of text book. It would be exciting me if I really see them. According to these reasons, I want to see French historic architectures which I learned in my high school days.

  Thirdly, I want to eat French bread in France. One of my teachers said it was really different from eating French bread in Japan. Even if we make the bread by using ingredients which are made in France, it is impossible to make the bread which is made and eaten in France. She said the French bread was delicious because of French atmosphere and it makes us feel tasty. Though there are many famous French cuisines; beef steak or roast chicken, I want to have simple French bread in France. It is one of French attractions even a loaf of bread makes us happy.

According to these reasons why France is my favorite country, France has a lot of fascinations. I’m suffered from people around me, and their information makes me excited. It would be gratifying me when I actually visit France sometime. (507 words, total 11,882 words)
