I read “The Goose that laid the Golden Eggs” today. I’m going to talk about this book’s story.
Tom and Elena lived in a small cottage and they were very poor. Every morning, Tom collected the eggs and sell in the village. One day, Tom found a strange egg and it was a golden egg! He sold this golden egg. The next morning, he found another golden egg and he sold it every day so they became rich. He wanted lots of gold. Then Elena suggested that they kill the goose. Because she thought that they can have all gold at once. So they killed the goose. But there was no gold inside at all. They were poor again and he never found another golden egg.
This book taught me various things. It is not good for people too much greedy. I think that people should not forget humility. I believe that if they haven’t killed the goose, they could keep rich and they spend more happy life.

BR2-07: Stories of Mermaids
I read “Stories of Mermaids” today. This book composed three short stories of mermaids. I will talk about one of three that I like best.
My favorite story is “The ghostly galleon”. This story is; Harmony lived with her mother. They were so poor but Harmony tried to keep up cheerful by singing beautiful songs. One day, Harmony’s mother was sick. The only care is polka dot seaweed but it only grows in the pirate’s Graveyard. There is spooky place but Harmony want. In there, she found it but she was caught by Gingerbeard’s ghost. She sang sadly and Gingerbeard heard her songs. Finally, he let her go home because he couldn’t endure to hear her songs. Harmony’s mother was cured. Thanks to Gingerbeard’s gold, they moved into warm and cozy place.
I loved mermaids stories. Mermaids are very cute. This story is interesting for me. Because Gingerbeard finally liberated Harmony and he gave her not only seaweed but also treasures. I think that he is a kind man at bottom. I believe that mermaid lived somewhere in the world.

2-03c: History of Languages Revision
Do you think that we need to learn languages? I think we need to learn language. Of course mother tongue, English, and other country language. Languages are most important way of human communication. In the past, I have studied our mother tongue, English and French. In the present, I study English in deeply. In the future, I want to learn English and I want to be able to communicate in English.
In the future, I want to put English to account in my job. So I will keep learning English. I think that to communicate in English is essential for us in the future. Because Japan is in internationalization, so we need English. And English is the common language so if I could speak English, I can talk with various people. I want to go to study abroad someday. I’ll go to study abroad by all means if I have a chance and enough money. Then, I’ve never learned Asia countries languages but Japanese so I want to try to learn Asian countries languages like Chinese or Korean.
At the present, I study English in KGU. I study speaking, reading, writing, and listening. Now, we should write English blog. It is hard for me to keep writing blog but I think that to continue writing blog is good way to learn writing. In the speaking class, we learn how to debate or presentations. It is good for me to progress with my English skill. Speaking is the best way to improve my English skill. In the reading class, I learn how to read newspapers in English. Thanks to this class, I can understand rule of English newspaper’s headline. In addition, I learn English history and English phonetics. It is difficult for me. And I’m interested in foreign literatures so I take the class of American literatures. It is very interesting for me. I want to learn not only languages but also literatures.
In past, when I was born, I learned mother language from my parents. After that, I learned hiragana and katakana in preschool. In elementary school, I learned kanji. I didn’t like to study kanji because it was difficult for me so I was poor at kanji. What’s more, in elementary school, I learned Japanese reading. Then I liked reading so I liked Japanese class.
In junior high school, I learned Japanese grammar. I spoke Japanese without conscious grammar so I was confused a little. Also, I learned Japanese classics. I liked Japanese classics very much. “Taketori Monogatari” is the most interest story for me. And I learned English in the first time. Honestly speaking, I didn’t like to learn English the first because it was difficult for me. But soon, I understood English and I enjoyed learning English. So I decided to entered English class of high school.
In high school, I learned English more. In summer vacation of my high school days, I joined English camp. Then we talk each other only in English. That was good experience for me. I experienced English debate the first time and we played English drama at the school festival. Also, I talked with assistant language teacher and exchange students in English actively. They taught me English and I taught them Japanese. One German exchange student taught me German a little.
In KGU last year, I learned English speaking, reading, writing, listening, and grammar. And I interested in French so learned French in KGU last year. The reason why I interested in French, my favorite Japanese singer sings covered French songs so I wanted to understand the songs meaning. But it is more difficult than I used to think. I could understand French a little.
When I was interested in languages spoken in other countries especially English because I was English major when I was a high school student. French is difficult for me but French classes were interesting. If I have a time, I want to learn French more. I study English in KGU now but my communication skill of English is still weak. I’ll study English more and more. I hope that I could talk in English smoothly. Also if I have a chance, I will try other languages of East Asia, like Chinese or Korean.

BR2-05: The Ugly Duckling
I read “The Ugly Duckling” today. I’ll talk about this story.
Once upon a time, nine ducklings hatched but only one did not look like the others. His brothers and sisters called him “ugly duckling” and he stayed away from them. The another duck family came and they teased the ugly duckling so he ran away. He was lonely. The ugly duckling stayed all winter. One day, he saw some swans flying South and they call him but he couldn’t fly very well. The ugly duckling stayed this lake and he grew so he could fly. Then some swans said to ugly duckling that stay with them. He answered that he is just a ugly duckling but now he recognized he is a beautiful swan.
I’ve heard this story in Japanese before. This is a sad story. When I read this story the first, I cried because this story is too sad. I think the ugly duckling is very poor because he stayed alone long time. But at last, he recognized he is a swan and he could meet his real friends. I hope that he could be happy.

BR2-04: The Three Little Pigs
I read “The Three Little Pigs” today. This is the famous story in Japan. But It is a little different between Japanese Three pigs and English one. This is the story of this book.
Three pigs traveled around the world. First pig made his house of straw. Then a wolf came his house but the pig did not open the door so the wolf broke the pig’s house and ate him up. Second pig made his house of wood. Then the wolf came again. The wolf also broke the pig’s house and ate him up. Third pig made his house of brick. The wolf came again. He tried to break the pig’s house but the brick house did not break. So the wolf gave up and went away.
In this story, the first pig and the second pig were eaten by the wolf. But Japanese story is not different. In Japanese story, when the houses of the first pig and the second pig were broken by the wolf, they ran away to the third pig’s house. So all three pigs were survived. The first pig and second pigs were eaten up by wolf so that I was very surprised.

BR2-03: The Princess and the Pea
I read “The Princess and the Pea” today. This is the story of this book; A prince wanted to marry a princess so he looked and met many princesses. But he sent all of them away because he thought they were not real princesses. One day, a princess came and she said she was a real princess. The queen went off to make the bed to see if this is a real princess. She put a tiny pea and put twenty mattresses and twenty down covers on it. The princess went to bed. Next morning, the queen asked if princess could sleep well. The answer was no because she noticed there was a big lump in her bed. Only real princess could feel a pea under twenty mattresses so the queen and king understood she was a real princess. The prince married the princess.
This is a interesting book. Because the way of find a real princess is pea! I think the real princess could notice however little things. So this is a good way to find real princess. I’m sure the king, queen, and prince also can feel pea under twenty mattresses.

BR2-02: The Cow in the House
I read “The Caw in the House” today. This story is a man lived in a noisy old house. The bed creaked. The chair squeaked. The roof leaked. One day, he went to see wise man and gave advice. The advice is to get a cow and keep it in his house. It was silly idea but he did it. After that, he also get dog, cat, sheep, and donkey so he was mad. Then, the wise man told him that put all animals out and he did it. The bed still creaked, the chair squeaked, and the roof leaked but he felt that there is a quiet house.
The wise man use delusion. I think he is a really genius man! He makes the man’s house noisier on purpose and he makes the man feel the quiet house when the animals out. It was opposite idea. I think that this book teach us there are many many ways of thinking.

2-02b English Website Review (revision)
I like annual events and enjoy them very much. So I looked at two English sites about history of Halloween and Christmas around the world. These sites are interesting for me. Now, I’m going to talk about these twowebsites.
First, I’ll talk about history of Halloween. I think that many Japanese suppose Halloween is just disguise party and children get sweets. But of course Halloween has means and long history. Halloween, or the Hallow E'en as they call it in Ireland, means ‘All Hallows Eve’. So November 1 is an anniversary to honor all Saint heavens. After that, Ancient people believed that ghosts, spirits, and witches come to their house at night of October 31 so they wore masks and made fires. This is the start of Halloween. They dressed up as monsters like ghosts, witches, black cats, Dracula, Frankenstein, and so on. But after 1990, people prefer lovely disguises like spirits or vegetables to monster.
I didn’t know much about Halloween. I also thought that Halloween is disguise party. And I was surprised that October 31 of Halloween day is Hallows Eve. I wonder why There are no Halloween events in Japan. I think Japan has the Bon Festival in August. Halloween and Bon Festival are similar events. Because Japan has no Halloween events so I’ve never experienced Halloween party. I want to join Halloween events in America someday. If you are interested in Halloween, I recommend you to look at this site because it is easy to know about Halloween.
Second, I’ll talk about Christmas around the world. Christmas is a Christian’s event but Christmas is loved people around the world. In China, most Chinese people are not Christian but of course there have Christmas. Chinese people call Santa Claus Dun Che Lao Ren, which means ‘Christmas Old Man’. Christmas in India decorate mango or banana tree at Christmas time. Also, they decorate their house with mango's leaves. Christmas in Spain, December 28 is the feast of the Holy Innocents. The children of Spain receive gifts on the feast of the Epiphany.
Christmas loved people around the world! Christmas is no connection with religions. Christmas is a festival to celebrate birth of Jesus by Christian people. So I thought that other religions people don’t have Christmas. But I found that people around the world enjoy Christmas. I think that most countries celebrate Christmas as a same way. Christmas night, people eat feast and children receive gift from Santa Claus. Do you know Bethlehem? Bethlehem is the little town where Jesus was born. I didn’t know that. I like Christmas events but I don’t know Christmas mean well. So I could learn about Christian’s Christmas event and Christmas around the world. In the not Christian country, there has Christmas day but they arranged Christmas to suit their cultures. So I recommend you to look at not Christian countries pages. You might find new Christmas.
These two English sites are very interesting for me. And I could learn Halloween and Christmas means. As I learned about Halloween and Christmas, I think that I can enjoy these two events more.

They dressed up as monsters like ghosts, witches, black cats, Dracula, Frankenstein, and so on. But after 1990, people prefer lovely disguises like spirits or vegetables to monster.
I didn’t know much about Halloween. I also thought that Halloween is disguise party. And I was surprised that October 31 of Halloween day is Hallows Eve. I wonder why There are no Halloween events in Japan. I think Japan has the Bon Festival in August. Halloween and Bon Festival are similar events. Because Japan has no Halloween events so I’ve never experienced Halloween party. I want to join Halloween events in America someday. If you are interested in Halloween, I recommend you to look at this site because it is easy to know about Halloween.
Second, I’ll talk about Christmas around the world. Christmas is a Christian’s event but Christmas is loved people around the world. In China, most Chinese people are not Christian but of course there have Christmas. Chinese people call Santa Claus Dun Che Lao Ren, which means ‘Christmas Old Man’. Christmas in India decorate mango or banana tree at Christmas time. Also, they decorate their house with mango's leaves. Christmas in Spain, December 28 is the feast of the Holy Innocents. The children of Spain receive gifts on the feast of the Epiphany.
Christmas loved people around the world! Christmas is no connection with religions. Christmas is a festival to celebrate birth of Jesus by Christian people. So I thought that other religions people don’t have Christmas. But I found that people around the world enjoy Christmas. I think that most countries celebrate Christmas as a same way. Christmas night, people eat feast and children receive gift from Santa Claus. Do you know Bethlehem? Bethlehem is the little town where Jesus was born. I didn’t know that. I like Christmas events but I don’t know Christmas mean well. So I could learn about Christian’s Christmas event and Christmas around the world. In the not Christian country, there has Christmas day but they arranged Christmas to suit their cultures. So I recommend you to look at not Christian countries pages. You might find new Christmas.
These two English sites are very interesting for me. And I could learn Halloween and Christmas means. As I learned about Halloween and Christmas, I think that I can enjoy these two events more.

Speaking: opinion
1. I don’t think so. Because most American foods contain more fat than Japanese food. What’s more, most American food especially snacks contain a lot of food coloring.
2. I think shopping at a “TouMe Town” is better than shopping downtown.
I think so, too. Because YouMe Town has many shops and if you have YouMe card, you can get some points when you buy something.
3. We need to let more people from other countries move to Japan and live here.
I agree with you. Because I think that Japan is safe country and Japan has many good cultures. Some American food is very healthy.
4. Showing your belly button (heso) is not attractive.
I agree with you. Showing your belly button is untidy and it is not good for your health.

2-02a English Website review
I like annual events and enjoy them very much. So I watched two English sites about history of Halloween and Christmas around the world. These sites are interesting for me. Now, I’m going to talk about these two events.
First, I’ll talk about history of Halloween. I think that many Japanese suppose Halloween is just disguise party and children get sweets. But of course Halloween has means and long history.Halloween, or the Hallow E'en as they call it in Ireland, means ‘All Hallows Eve’. Ancient people believed that ghosts, spirits, and witches come to their house at night of October 31th so they wore a mask and made a fire. This is the start of Halloween. They dressed up as monsters like ghost, witch, black cat, Dracula, Frankenstein, and so on. But after 1990, people prefer lovely disguise like spirit or vegetable to monster.
I didn’t know about Halloween well. I also thought that Halloween is disguise party. So I wonder why There is no Halloween events in Japan. I think Japan has the Bon Festival in August. Halloween and Bon Festival are similar events. Because Japan has no Halloween events so I’ve never experienced Halloween party. I want to join Halloween events in America someday.

I don’t like small spaces because it makes me choking. So I’ve never built small house in my job. My dream is build a big castle for our crown prince and crown princess.

BR2-01: WAKE UP, SUN
I read 'WAKE UP, SUN'. I'm going to introduce this book's story.
A dog woke up in the middle night. He thought that it's time to wake up so he woke animals up. A pig said to dog that it is not time to wake up because sun is not up. Then, dog asked him where is sun. Animals started to look for sun. A chicken said to animals that sun is still sleeping so they must wake him up. Animals began to yell. Famer woke up and he thought a fox came in the hen house so he fired his gun. The animals stopped yelling, farmer's baby woke up and yelled instead. Just then, the sun was rising. So the animals thought farmer's baby wake sun up.
The animals are very cute! When I was a little girl, I also thought that the sun is sleeping. When the sun wake up, he started rising and shining, and the morning coming. I believed that. This book is interesting and easy for me.

Tokyo Disney Land
I went to Tokyo Disney Land and Tokyo Disney Sea with my friends for three days in summer vacation.
The first day, I woke up five O’clock and we arrived at Kumamoto airport at eight O’clock. I’ve long time no ride airplane so I was exciting. In Haneda airport, we changed from airplane to a bus and we moved to Tokyo Disney Land. There are many people. All of things in Tokyo Disney Land for example characters, buildings, and attractions charmed us. Cinderella castle was the most beautiful building! We rode many attractions but we had to wait more 30 minutes to ride all attractions. I think that the most interesting attraction in Disney Land is "Space Mountain". This is roller coaster which is in dark place so we can't look front. We entered Minny Mouse's house. It's very cute house! We wanted to enter Micky Mouse's house but sadly we didn't that because there are many many people and we had to wait more 1 hour so we gave up. We met many Disney characters for example Goofy, Snow White, Sleeping Beauty, Alice, Donald, Deisy, and so on. And we took a picture with them. At night, we watched parade show. That's very beautiful and fun parade. We enjoyed this parade very much. After that, we also watched fire works.
The second day, we went to the Disney Sea. But I was very sorry because it was cloudy, sometimes rainy, and very cold! However, we also enjoyed Disney Sea. First, we went to "Tower of Terrer" and rode it. This attraction's production is terrified me. But it was a fun attraction. After that, we watched two shows. One of Ariel's mermaid show. That's a beautiful show and Ariel is very cute! Another one is Jenny's magic show. This is very very interesting show. And this show used 3D glasses so it was very exciting. Only Disney Sea, it sells Duffy goods. Do you know Duffy? Duffy is a teddy bear which Minny made for Micky. This is very cute teddy bear so I bought Duffy's stuffed doll. In Disney Sea, we also met many characters and took a picture with them. At night, we watched parade. That was water and fire's show. It was wonderful show and I was impressed. But honestly speaking, I felt little sleepy because I was very tired.
The third day, we went to Disney Land again. That day, there are many many people and almost of them disguised of Disney characters, because that day is the first day of Halloween event. All of them wore high quality costume so I can't recognize real or not. We took a picture with some these people. We had to out Disney Land by two O'clock because we had to ride the plane of 4 O'clock. So we spend to buy souvenirs most of time in Disney Land.
I enjoyed this three days very much. Disney Land gave me dream! So I didn't go home. I want to go Disney Land again!

Examination
In spring term, I examined about situations of pet in America at class. I was very sorry that we couldn't go America because of Flu. I will intoroduce the result of my examination.
I examined about situations of pet in America. I like animals so I am interested in situations of pet in America. I researched mainly about what is popular pet and thought of their pets in America, health centre and pet shops, and facility for pets. I’ll show these topics with comparing to Japan.
First topic is popular pets and thoughts of their pets. Dogs are most popular pet in both America and Japan. This is the ranking of popular dogs in America recently. First place is Labrador Retrievers, second place is Yorkshire Terriers, and third place is German shepherd. On the other hand, this is the ranking of poplar dogs in Japan. First place is Chihuahua, second place is poodle, and third place is miniature dachshund. This result shows that American like great dogs and Japanese like miniature dogs. The regulation for pets in America is easier than Japan. So it is not small that people who have rare pets. Reptiles are popular pet in America. For example snakes, lizards, or miniature crocodiles. The insect, for example spiders are also popular pets. However, the most popular rare pet is animals of the cat family, for example tigers. Recently, monkeys or chimpanzees are rising popularity. By the way, there are families of 62 percent have pets. 40 million families have dogs and 34 million families have cats. According to the questionnaire, dogs of 74 percent and cats of 66 percent are thought like master’s real children by their master. So dogs of 66 percent have Christmas presents every year. In each year, masters use about 405 dollar for their dogs and 371 dollar for their cats.
Second topic is health center and pet shops. In Japan, when you want to have pets, you may go pet shop. It is natural for Japanese to buy pets at pet shop. However, there are not animals in pet shop in America. Exceptional instance, it may sell small animals like hamster. American pet shops usually sell only pet stores such as pet foods or toys. When they want to have pet especially dogs and cats, they go animal shelter or given by animal lover. Then, I’ll tell you about animal protection groups of Japan and America. In Japan, There are only health center that place protect animals. Japanese animal protection groups don’t work well. In America, there are many animal protection groups and it is more strict American law for pets than Japan one. In America, there are animal shelters. It like health center in Japan but animal shelters manage by volunteer. Also, the difference between health center and animal shelter is all animals wait for foster parents in animal shelters. Another, there are animal police in America. It is not in Japan. When animal police find lost animals or abandoned animals, they take animals to animal shelter. Also, when animal police find cruelty to animals, they warn master or arrest master.
Final topic is facilities for pets. You can see many people who take their dogs in America. So there are many café and restaurant which permitted masters into with their pets. They can eat lunch or rest with their pets. These café or restaurant also have menu for pets. American masters enjoy relax time with their pet or talk with circle of pet masters. Pet cafés are also have in Japan but number of shops are fewer than America. In America, there are many facilities for pet. There are many dog ran spots, beauty salon for pets, pet washer and so on. Many American have great dogs but there is no place that they can wash their dogs. Pet washer is the place to master wash their great dogs. I think that these facilities make masters and pets comfortable.
America is pet advanced nation. America has strict law for pets and many animal protection groups. I think that many Americans have pets because America has firmed rule. What’s more, the regulations of pet’s kind are easy so there are many people who have rare pets. However, the most popular pet in America is dogs. Americans especially like great dogs. It is said that the reason why Americans like great dogs, most of American families have large garden. Dogs can run freely there. I think that there are many people who are animal lover because animal shelters manage volunteers. The working expenditure is all donations and fund-raising. It is no custom to buy pets at pet shop in America. However, most Japanese go pet shop when they buy pet. Japanese tend to choose ‘cute’ pet, that is to say it make a point of looks. I think Japan has to model American animal protections.

The insect, for example spiders are also popular pets. However, the most popular rare pet is animals of the cat family, for example tigers. Recently, monkeys or chimpanzees are rising popularity. By the way, there are families of 62 percent have pets. 40 million families have dogs and 34 million families have cats. According to the questionnaire, dogs of 74 percent and cats of 66 percent are thought like master’s real children by their master. So dogs of 66 percent have Christmas presents every year. In each year, masters use about 405 dollar for their dogs and 371 dollar for their cats.
Second topic is health center and pet shops. In Japan, when you want to have pets, you may go pet shop. It is natural for Japanese to buy pets at pet shop. However, there are not animals in pet shop in America. Exceptional instance, it may sell small animals like hamster. American pet shops usually sell only pet stores such as pet foods or toys. When they want to have pet especially dogs and cats, they go animal shelter or given by animal lover. Then, I’ll tell you about animal protection groups of Japan and America. In Japan, There are only health center that place protect animals. Japanese animal protection groups don’t work well. In America, there are many animal protection groups and it is more strict American law for pets than Japan one. In America, there are animal shelters. It like health center in Japan but animal shelters manage by volunteer. Also, the difference between health center and animal shelter is all animals wait for foster parents in animal shelters. Another, there are animal police in America. It is not in Japan. When animal police find lost animals or abandoned animals, they take animals to animal shelter. Also, when animal police find cruelty to animals, they warn master or arrest master.
Final topic is facilities for pets. You can see many people who take their dogs in America. So there are many café and restaurant which permitted masters into with their pets. They can eat lunch or rest with their pets. These café or restaurant also have menu for pets. American masters enjoy relax time with their pet or talk with circle of pet masters. Pet cafés are also have in Japan but number of shops are fewer than America. In America, there are many facilities for pet. There are many dog ran spots, beauty salon for pets, pet washer and so on. Many American have great dogs but there is no place that they can wash their dogs. Pet washer is the place to master wash their great dogs. I think that these facilities make masters and pets comfortable.
America is pet advanced nation. America has strict law for pets and many animal protection groups. I think that many Americans have pets because America has firmed rule. What’s more, the regulations of pet’s kind are easy so there are many people who have rare pets. However, the most popular pet in America is dogs. Americans especially like great dogs. It is said that the reason why Americans like great dogs, most of American families have large garden. Dogs can run freely there. I think that there are many people who are animal lover because animal shelters manage volunteers. The working expenditure is all donations and fund-raising. It is no custom to buy pets at pet shop in America. However, most Japanese go pet shop when they buy pet. Japanese tend to choose ‘cute’ pet, that is to say it make a point of looks. I think Japan has to model American animal protections.

Summer Camp
From August 26 to August 28, I joined to summer camp in Iki with my circle.
The first day, we assembled to KGU and move to Fukuoka by bus to ride ferry. That was first time for me to ride ferry. As soon we arrived to Iki, we moved to gym near tourist home which we stay. In the gym, we played basketball and volleyball. Honestly speaking, I felt a little boring to play basketball because I don't like to play basketball. At night, we went to beach and watch sea lightning bugs. I watched sea lightning bugs the first time. Also we watched stars. There were many stars we could see and we watched some shooting stars. I was very impressed and that was very beautiful.
The second day, we went to the beach and swimming. The sea of Iki was very beautiful and water was very clear. Then I was caught my arms by my friends and I was through away to the sea! I was surprised but it was fun. And I also through away my friends to the sea! After that, somehow, we started sand fight. So our bodies were all over mad. But we enjoyed playing on the beach very much! At night, we ate BBQ and drank alcohol. That was very delicious and I enjoyed the party very much.
The third day, I was very sorry that It was rain. So we couldn't go beach. Then we played card game in the tourist home. After that, we went shopping center and we bought souvenirs.
I enjoyed this summer camp very much! I want to go Iki next summer again.

BR 1-13: Joe's Letter
I read “Joe’s Letter”. I was impressed that reading this book.
Joe writes a letter to Nan every day. He wrote what happened today in the letter.
I had a pen friend when I was a child. We exchanged letter once a month. We also exchanged puri-kura or cute sticker into envelope. But when we had been high school student, we didn’t write letter by degrees. Instead, we exchanged e-mails. E-mail is very easy and we can replay immediately. But we feel more glad to receive letters than receive e-mails. So we have to write letters to our friends or family if you have a chance.

BR 1-12: Hide and Seek With Carla Crocodile
I read “Hide and Seek With Carla Crocodile” today. I like this book because it makes me happy.
Carla Crocodile played hide and seek with Hippo, Seal and Penguin. First, Carla counted to three. Carla found Hippo first and found Seal the next. Finally, she found Penguin. But when Carla counted to three, he fell over before he got home. Then Penguin has to three.
When I was a child, I often did hide and seek with my friends. I liked this game. “Hide and seek” called in Japanese “Kakurenbo”. I think that it is a little different between hide and seek and kakurenbo. Kakurenbo’s role is the person who found first has to count. I enjoyed reading this book.

two important relationships
I watched 'Lilo and Stitch'. This movie thought me two things: The importance of family and friendship. I watched this movie first, I only think that it is fun movie, but when I watched this movie second time, I feel to important things. I’m talking about that two things.
First, I talk about the importance of family. Lilo and her older sister don’t have their parents. So she feels lonely. One day, Lilo took an alien like dog, named Stitch. I think Lilo is very happy because she is no longer lonely. Her older sister always thinks about Lilo. She works for Lilo’s future.
Family is most important tie. Almost people spend with their family every day. I also spend with my family every day. So my family, especially my mother helps me whenever I have trouble. I have older sister and younger sister so I know both Lilo and Nani’s feelings. When I am with my older sister, I depend my older sister but I also think I don’t have to be worried her. When I am with younger sister, I think I have to be dependable and look after her. Family help each other like that. I think when I am with my family, It is the easiest time in my life. I special thanks for my family.
I also learned about the importance of friendship. Lilo sometimes fights with her friends so she doesn’t have real friends. Lilo and Stitch are family, also they are friends. Lilo cover up Stitch when Stitch play up toward people. By Lilo met Stitch, she could get her real friend.
When I am in the university, I am always with my friends. I talk about various things with my friends. I think if I don’t have friends, I couldn’t enjoy my life. When I have trouble, my friends give me advices. Reverse, when my friends have trouble, I think about together. So we support each other. Best friends are my good conferee. I want to cherish my friends forever.
I think these two relationships are essential for our life. People can’t live without relationships because we help each other. I think even any people have some relationships. So we have to cherish our family and friends and keep good relationship. I think keep relationship is more important than increase relationship.

Shopping
Today, I had a supplementary lecture of biology.
At afternoon, I went to down town with my friends to do shopping. First, we went pasta restaurant and ate lunch. It was delicious and cheap. Next, we went PARCO. There are many people because it hold summer sale until July 15. I bought a one piece there. It reduced the price by 10% so I could it cheaper. After that we moved Kami-touri and visited some shops. Then, I bought a T-shirt. It was very cute T-shirt and I’ll take it to camp. At 4:00 p.m. we had a tea time at Dotal Coffee. We told about our camp which we planning to go summer vacation. Finally we took ‘puri-kura’ at Festa.
I had a very good time today!

Essay 1-02b: University Life (rewriting)
Most KGU students feel comfort or pleasantness in the university life. But some of KGU students feel inconvenient in their university life. I would like to introduce what is inconvenient for students to spend university life. I will give three examples. How to going to school, when we do our homework, and spend lunch time and recess.
First of all, I’m going to talk about how to going to school. Most students go to school by car, bus, train, bicycle, motorcycle, or on foot. I usually go to school by train and on foot. I think train is cheap but it is inconvenient, because if we miss the train, we have to wait next train. In this instance, we sometimes wait more thirty minutes. Students who come to school by car, I think it is easy and convenient but there are a few parking area in KGU. And they need a permit to park their car. They can park Kenritsu Gekijou’s parking area but they should pay money. Students who come to school by bicycle and motorcycle, it is the most convenient I think. Especially go to school by bicycle. They don’t have to pay money and they never miss. However bicycles have one problem. It is inconvenient to go to school by bicycle rainy day. Even if they wear raincoat, their faces are drenched with rain.
Next, we have a lot of homework. We have to read books, write blog or some reports, and so on. It is too busy for me because I also have part-time job after school. Most KGU students have part-time job to earn money. Homework is important to study subject. But if we don’t have part time job, we can’t enjoy my free time. Some students may pay their school expenses themselves. So they have to earn money. Therefore, it is hard for us to spend after school.
Finally, I think recess is too short. KGU’s campus is very large but we have to move next class in ten minutes. So we sometimes have to run to next building or late for next class. When we spend our lunch time, many of the students go to cafeteria or bakery because it is cheap and delicious. Some students bring their lunch boxes or buy at convenience store.I usually bring my lunch box, but I want to eat in cafeteria everyday because it is hard to make my lunch in the morning.
I think university life is hard or busy, but I enjoy my university life because I can meet my friends in university. It is important to enjoy our university life. And we should challenge many things. It may be hard but we can spend a full university life.

Most KGU students have part-time job to earn money. Homework is important to study subject. But if we don’t have part time job, we can’t enjoy my free time. Some students may pay their school expenses themselves. So they have to earn money. Therefore, it is hard for us to spend after school.
Finally, I think recess is too short. KGU’s campus is very large but we have to move next class in ten minutes. So we sometimes have to run to next building or late for next class. When we spend our lunch time, many of the students go to cafeteria or bakery because it is cheap and delicious. Some students bring their lunch boxes or buy at convenience store.I usually bring my lunch box, but I want to eat in cafeteria everyday because it is hard to make my lunch in the morning.
I think university life is hard or busy, but I enjoy my university life because I can meet my friends in university. It is important to enjoy our university life. And we should challenge many things. It may be hard but we can spend a full university life.

Movie Review
I watched “Lilo and Stitch”. This movie released some years ago but I had never watched this movie. Recently I watched this movie for the first time.
I think that this movie’s theme is family. Lilo has no parents and her family is only older sister, Nani. Lilo has no friends so she always feels lonely. But one day, she met strange animal. She took him her house and she named him Stitch. Stitch has been her family. She was not lonely because she is always with Stitch.
What is the real family? Whether someone who have relationship with me are my family or not? I think yes. But I also think we can be family whoever have no relationship. In this world, there are many families without relationship. For example, adopted children. They live with their adopted parents. Some people say that they are not real family however I don’t think so. I think they are real family, too. Adopted parents think their adopted children are like their real children. I think this thought is the most important thing.
“Lilo and Stitch” was noticed me the importance of family. I think I am a happy person because I have family. I thought that I’ll cherish my family.

BR 1-10: Zippy Zebra Finds a Friend
I read “Zippy Zebra Finds a Friend” today.
Zippy has no friend. So Zippy tried to be friend Cheetah, Crocodile, and Lion. But Zippy’s mother said that they are not good friend for Zippy. I think Zippy feel lonely. In animal world, it is a world where the stronger prey upon the weaker. Zippy is a Zebra so Zippy can not be a friend with predatory animals. At last, Zippy could make friend. It is Zina Zebra. In human world, I think it is easy to make friends. It is fun to spend or talk with friends. Friends make me happy. I think if I have no friends, I feel very boring in my life. In my opinion, this book’s message is we are not lonely. We may have at least one friend. If you think that you don’t have friend, it just you don’t notice. So we should cherish our friends.

BR 1-09: Giraffe Goes Skating
I read “Giraffe Goes Skating” today. The Giraffe did not have helmet and kneepads. She thinks it is OK that she had no helmet and kneepads when she went skating. But it is dangerous for her. At last, she skated into the tree and went down. I think there are many children who don’t have helmet when they ride bicycle, skate, and so on. It is danger! Nobody can predict what happened. Helmet or kneepads save our body. So we especially children should use helmet. This book teaches for children how to save their own bodies. So I recommend that children read this book or parents read it for their children. It is good story, I think.

Essay 1-02a: University life
Most of the KGU students feel comfort or pleasantness in the university life. But some of KGU students feel inconvenient in their university life. I would like to introduce what is inconvenient for students to spend university life. I will give three examples. How to going to school, homework, and lunch time and recess.
First of all, I’m going to talk about how to going to school. Most of the students go to school by car, bus, train, bicycle, motorcycle, or on foot. I usually go to school by train and on foot. I think train is cheap but it is inconvenient. Because if we miss the train, we have to wait next train. In this instance, we sometimes wait more thirty minutes. By car, I think it is easy and convenient but there are a few parking area in KGU. And they need a permit to park their car. They can park Kenritsu Gekijou’s parking area but they should pay money. By bicycle and motorcycle, it is the most convenient I think. Especially go to school by bicycle. They don’t have to pay money and they never miss. However bicycle has one problem. It is inconvenient to go to school by bicycle rainy day. Even if they wear raincoat, their faces are drenched with rain.
Second, we have a lot of homework. We have to read books, write blog or some reports, and so on. It is too busy for me because I also have part-time job after school. Most of the KGU students have part-time job to earn money. Homework is important to study subject. But if I don’t have part time job, I can’t enjoy my free time and go to home stay. My family is not rich so I promised that I will pay all my home stay’s travel expenses myself. So I have to earn money and save. Therefore, it is hard for me to spend after school.
Finally, I think recess is too short. Because KGU’s campus is very large but we have to move next class in ten minutes. So we sometimes have to run to next building or late for next class. In lunch time, many of the students go to cafeteria or bakery. Because it is cheap and delicious. Some of students bring their lunch box or buy at convenience store.
I usually bring my lunch box but I want to eat in cafeteria everyday because it is hard to make my lunch box in the morning.
I think university life is hard or busy but I enjoy my university life. Because I can meet my friends in university. It is important to enjoy our university life. And we should challenge many things. It may be hard but we can spend a full university life.

BR 1-08: Rabbit and Hare Divide an Apple
I read “Rabbit and Hare Divide an Apple” today. The reason why I chose this book, the picture of Rabbit and Hare is cute. And this book sound interesting.
Rabbit and Hare loved to eat. One day they found a big mushroom. They divide this mushroom but not in half. One piece was a little bigger than the other. They scrambled for the bigger one. Just then Mr.Raccoon walked by and asked them what happened. They explain to Mr.Raccoon and he said that he had a good idea. He took a bite from the bigger piece and he said “I’ll make them equal.” But he ate whole piece. “Now we have only one piece of mushroom,” cried Hare. What’s more, Mr.Raccoon said that he know what to do. This idea is he bites other piece in half. But he ate the whole thing up the last. Rabbit and Hare cried. Mr.Raccoon left quickly. They went to find something else to eat. They found a big and round apple. Hare tried to divide the apple in half. But one piece was much bigger than other. They scrambled for the bigger one again. Mr.Raccoon came and said that he help them. But they were not deceived and turned back him. They split the big part and then they split small piece.
I think this is an instructive book for children. Because this book teaches for children that it is important to divide in half without scramble bigger one. So I recommend to read out for children. This is wonderful book!

I read “Nicky Upstairs and Down” today. The reason why I chose this book, I like cats and Nicky is very cute.
I’m going to talk about this book’s digest. Nicky is a cat and he lived with his mother in a small house which had a downstairs and an upstairs. When Nicky was playing, his mother called Nicky. He always answered “Here I am. I was down.” Or “Here I am. I was up.” He ran up and down the stairs all day long. One day, Nicky’s mother called Nicky but no answer from Nicky. Nicky was hiding. He was tired of running up and down all day long. His mother looked everywhere. His mother called Nicky again. Nicky came out and he ran halfway up the stairs. He called his mother and said “I’m right in the middle.”
Nicky is very very cute!!! And I think Nicky is a naughty cat. I have two cats and they also often run up and down the stairs. They like stairs, too. I like this story very much.
