I like candies, cookies, chocolates; I like all sweets very much! In particular, I really love cakes. When I was three or four years old, I ate cake for the first time. At that time, my father had to take up a job in another city, leaving my family behind in Shimane. I was a very little child, so I cried a lot and felt lonely without him when he was going to his workplace. Finally, he decided to cheer me up by giving me a cake as a special present. I don’t remember the taste, but I clearly remember I was really happy. The other day, while on holiday, I ate cakes and talked about this with my parents. It was also special time for me.
