BR: 1-01 "Recycling"

"Recycling at home" (P. 24)

I read this book. This title of the book is “Recycling”. I was very impressed when I read this book. It was I think that pollution is the biggest problems in the world today. There are 7.2 billion people in the world, and many people rubbish something. If you live in Los Angeles, New York, London, or everywhere, you probably throw away about forty kilograms every week. Can you believe it? There are laws about pollution and recycling for each country.

However, pollution is not the only reason for recycling. It is important to reduce pollutions, but there is another reason as well. Almost all our energy comes from materials (oil, natural gas, etc.) which have been here since the world began.

There are a lot of things you can do. The first thing is “Don’t waste food, water, energy, materials, or something.” If you do this, you can reduce garbage.

The second one is to buy recycled products. Many people think that it is very dirty or useless.

The third one is to take your own shopping bag. Many people have been using their own bag, but few people have been using plastic bag. It is not good for you.

I sometimes waste something, so I have to recycle or reuse to reduce garbage.

Congratulations!!!!!

Last Saturday was my older brother’s wedding ceremony. The wedding ceremony was fantastic. I wore long-sleeved kimono. Wedding dress and cocktail dress which my older sister-in-law wore were very beautiful. I met my cousin who lived in Tokyo after a long absence. Meals were very delicious, too. Of course, kurotomesode which my mother wore was very beautiful. 150 people came to the wedding ceremony. I met friends of is junior high school era. I was very happy because they remembered me, so I talked a lot. I talked his boss for the first time. He seems to be very tender.

 

I had a very good time, but I was very tired after the wedding ceremony. I had a part-time job, too. My older brother and older sister-in-law came to my house yesterday at noon. I gave the latest coffee maker, tip, and two pairs of chopsticks for husband and wife to them. They liked it very much. I thought that it was good to buy them heartily. I want them to be happy.

 

My cousin went back to Tokyo. I didn’t feel sad because I sometimes chat with her. I think that it is her wedding ceremony that I meet her. I look forward to meeting her again.

My favorite shop

My favorite shop is Starbucks and Baskin-Robbins. I like ice cream and Frappuccino very much. I sometimes go to Starbucks and Baskin-Robbins once a month. My favorite flavor is strawberry cheese cake, banana and strawberry, carnival, triple fruit garden, hopping shower, and lemon mascarpone cheese cake. I rarely eat vanilla ice cream, chocolate ice cream, green tea ice cream, mask melon, and orange sorbet. I have never eaten Burgundy cherry and blueberry panna cotta yet, so I want to eat it. I want to work at Starbucks or Baskin-Robbins someday.

I want to go next Thursday or Friday after school.

Essay 1-03: My Hometown

Hi there! Today, I want to introduce my hometown. I was born in Arao in 1994, but I live in Kumamoto city now. I have been living in Kumamoto prefecture for 21 years. Do you know where Kumamoto prefecture is? Kumamoto city is in the Kyushu region. There are 74 million people in Kumamoto city. There are a lot of famous places in Kumamoto city, too, such as Kumamoto Castle, Mt. Aso, Fujisaki shrine, Suizenji Park, Ezu Lake, and Kumamoto Station, which are all very famous places.

 

Kumamoto city is called “Water and the forest city”. In 2012, Kumamoto city was authorized to be an ordinance-designated city.

Kumamoto Castle was built in 1604, and it was built by Kato Kiyomasa. People living in Kumamoto speak Kumamoto dialect. It’s very interesting. By the way, have you ever eaten horse meat? What do you think about horse meat? It’s very yummy and healthy. Also, mustard lotus-root is very delicious. I don’t like it because it’s too spicy. Kumamoto’s vegetables (for example; tomatoes, watermelons, green peppers, spinaches, and the others) are very fresh and delicious.

 

             There was a municipal of the prefecture department store, but it closed on February 28^th, in 2015. I was very shocked because I liked the department store very much. But there is a department store in Kumamoto city. It is Tsuruya. There are a lot of clothes, watches, food, jewelries, bags, cosmetics, flowers, restaurants, and the others. There is a beer garden in Tsuruya, too. But I have never been there.

              Do you know Kumamon? Kumamon is a mascot character in Kumamoto city. It is very strange, but it is very cute. Did you understand about Kumamoto’s history? If you come to Kumamoto city, I will tell you where to go. I look forward to coming you to Kumamoto someday.

I like my hometown very much because Kumamoto city is a very nice place to live.

How was your Golden Week?

 

Where did you go?

 

What did you do during the Golden Week?

 

I went to Amakusa with my mother to see my grandparents. It took 6 hours to arrive, so I was very tired. My grandparents and aunt gave pocket money to me. My mother and I bought some cake. The name of the shop is called “BONGOUT”. There are many kinds of bread, cake, and baked sweets, too. I ate mango cake. It was very delicious.

 

My mother and I took my grandma to go for a lunch. My mother and grandma ate kuruma prawn’s tempura set meal, but I ate fried prawns set meal.

 

When I was driving my car, I saw a very beautiful sunset. It was like a Hawaiian sunset.
