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.
Second, I’ll talk about Christmas around the world. Christmas is a Christian’s event but Christmas loved people around the world. In China, most Chinese people are not Christian but of course there has 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. Christmas in Spain, December 28 is the feast of the Holy Innocents. As in many European countries, the children of Spain receive gifts on the feast of the Epiphany.
Christmas loved people around the world! Christmas is no connection with religions. 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.
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 I can enjoy these two events more.

Revised Favorite Place
I’m going to talk about my favorite place. I have some favorite places. For example, I like my room, in the car, karaoke, and so on. But my room is my best favorite place. I have four reasons why I like my room. First, it is comfortable place, it also is to do my hobbies, there are many my treasures, and I have attachment.
First, it is comfortable for me. My room catches the sun so there is warm. In winter day, I like to take a nap on the sunny bed. Then, I need not heating. Aroma candle also feel relaxed me. My favorite smell is lavender and when I look candle’s flame, I’m very calm. My furniture especially bed and sofa are very old. I gave them when I was a elementary school student. They are old but I’m attached to them. I have two sisters but my room is not share with them. So I can do what I want to do without interference.
Second, it has many hobbies. In my room, there is a stereo and I always listen to music with it. Sometimes, I listen to music with i-Pod. It is my custom to listen music before go to bed. Reading comic books and magazines is also my hobby. I like comic books so when I have free time, I read comic books with listening music. I have another one hobby. That is painting. I can’t concentrate to paint anywhere but my room.
Third, there are many treasures of mine. On the desk, there are many photos. I always look these photos and I feel very happy. In the photo albums, there are many photos. I sometimes take out and look them. I like jewelry and especially I’m interested in earring nowadays. So I have many earrings. Some of them, I gave my friend. Also, I have big teddy bear. I gave it to my parents when we tripped to Nagasaki. I always put it by my pillow.
Finally, My room is not large and new. There are not TV and air conditioner. Maybe you think my room is unconvenient place but it is the best place for me. My room's smell, extend and atomosphere and so on. All these things are make me relax. I've used my room about for fifteen years so I am attached to my room.
When I am in my room, I recover my health and be happy. There are important place for me. I think my room is more comfortable place than any other place. So I always in my room and I like my room the best.

The Cocktail Party
Hello! My name is Alice. I’m from London, England. London’s weather is often fog. So London is called “city of fog”. And England has many famous things. “Big Ben” is the one of them. Do you know Big Ben? It is the big clock tower.
My job is an architect. My specialty is order made house. I create the design of house with customers and I built that house actually. The reason why I wanted to be an architect, I liked to play with blocks and painting when I was a child.
Then, I’ll introduce my family. I lived with my family, father and mother. I am a single. My father is a fashion designer. His brand is poplar in London. My mother is housewife. She like cooking and her dishes are very delicious. My mother sometimes teaches cooking for neighbor.
My hobby is painting. Recently, I often paint view in water colors. But sometimes I paint the houses what I want to try to build. I go to park, riverside, and so on to paint view once a week. 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.
