My treasure

Today, I want to introduce about my treasure. My treasure is my pendant. This is very cute, isn't it? On Monday, in July 3rd, I went to yakiniku shop with my parents, my older brother, my sister-in-law, and my relations who lived in Canada, and my relations gave me a wonderful present. When I opened the box, there was a very beautiful pendant in it. I liked it very much. I like blue very much, and I was very happy. The cost was 18,900 yen. I love yakiniku, and I love this pendant.

BR 1-11 “U.F.O.s”

“Are they real?” “UFOs and aliens” (P.1, P.15)

Today, I want to introduce about this book. This book is about UFO and aliens. Have you ever seen UFO? In this book, in 1897, something strange happened in the town of Aurora, Texas. Children playing in a field saw a strange “ship” fly over and then crash into a farm building. Can you believe it? I can't believe it. Since 1897, thousands of people have said that they have seen strange flying spaceships. It is called “UFO”. UFO is Unidentified flying objects. Also, UFOs sells newspapers and many newspaper men want to use UFOs in their stories. I can't understand why UFOs sells it. I can't believe it, too.

BR : 1-10 “Australia and New Zealand"

“Australia”, “Animals, birds, and plants” (P.1,P.8)

I read this book two weeks ago. The title of this book is “Australia and New Zealand”. What do you think about Australia? Today, I want to introduce about Australia mainly. Which country would you like to travel, Australia, or New Zealand? If you want to see extraordinary animals, birds, and plants, I think that Australia is a very very very nice place to go. The kangaroo is one Australian animal that everybody knows. Of course, you can see koalas, too. The biggest of the fifty different kinds is the red kangaroo.  Also, there are many famous places to visit. Do you know Opera house? Do you know where the Opera house is? How about Sydney Harbor bridge, and Surfers Paradise? Where would you like to visit in Australia? I really want to go to Australia during summer vacations. I like Australia better than New Zealand. I want to see koalas and kangaroos. There are 23 million people in Australia. Aussie beef , fish and chips, Australian meat pie is very popular in Australia. Of course, people who living in Australia speaks English.

BR: 1-09 “DISASTER!”

“The Kobe Earthquake” (P.38)

I read this book a week ago. The title of this book is "Disaster!". What do you think about disasters? Do you feel scary, unbearable, or unbelievable? You know about the Kobe earthquake, the great East Japan earthquake, and the others, don't you? Japan has always had earthquakes. In 1923, there was a very big earthquake in Tokyo prefecture on 1st September, which killed 143,000 people. However, in 2011, there was a very big earthquake, too. It is called "East Japan great earthquake disaster". No one thought that the huge earthquake would occur. I think that earthquakes, floods, and landslide disaster is very scary for me.  Probably, I cannot endure it.

Last Saturday

Last Saturday was very hot, wasn't it? I went to school to study last Saturday. My parents told me to study harder at school, but I went to the town. I did not have enough time to go to the town so far, so I went there after a long absence. I went to TSUTAYA, FRESHNESS BURGER, and a penny arcade. I ate barbecue pineapple burger and French fries, and I drank mango smoothie. I had a very good time. I have to study harder and harder to get credits. I wanted to go to Starbucks, but I sometimes go there near the university. They were very delicious. There was the finals of the baseball of the high school  at Kumamoto Fujisakidai Baseball stadium on last Saturday.  The high school where I went to participates in Koshien. I was very surprised to hear that.

My summer vacation's plan

I think that this summer vacation is very busy for me. Also, I think that I will not have enough time to play with my friends. I really want to go to Karaoke, Starbucks, and Baskin-Robbins with my friends during summer vacation. However, I don't have enough money. I have to go for internship, and I have to study the public employee lecture at school. I cannot go for a part-time job during the internship. I am very shocked. Last summer vacation was really fun for me. I look forward to the internship. I will work in a cafe in Kumamoto Station. Please come if you are free.

Today, I want to introduce about my treasure. My treasure is my watch. Here it is. Look at this watch. This is a watch of the brands called LUKIA of SEIKO. Of course, you know SEIKO, don’t you? My parents bought it as a commemoration of my 20th birthday. Do you think that this watch is how much? This watch was approximately 63,000 yen. Can you believe it? The color of this watch is pink gold. There were many kinds of watches at the department store, but I chose it. Also, this watch is a solar electric wave. I like this watch very much, and I like pink very much. As for this watch, a needle stops suddenly. I was very surprised when a needle stopped suddenly. I put on this watch on a special day, but I put on this watch today. When my parents bought the watch, I was very happy. I never lose it because this watch is very expensive.

BR : 1-08 “Martin Luther King”

“A man from Alabama” (P.1)

I read this book yesterday. The title of this book is “Martin Luther King”. Do you know him? Of course, you know about him, don't you? He is a clergyman of the Protestantism Baptist group of the United States of America. His speech(“I have a dream”) is very famous and is known to everyone. He was born as a son of Baptist group clergyman Michael Luther King in Georgia, Atlanta, in 1929. I learned his speech and him during seminar.  He did this famous speech in front of Lincoln Valhall in Washington grand march on August 28, in 1963. King was dedicated to the elimination of racial discrimination. This speech appealed for abolition of the racial discrimination and a noble ideal called each racial Kyowa with a concise writing style, and this speech arose sympathy from it widely. He was shot with a white man on April 4, 1968 by scoundrel of the cumulative offense, James Earl Ray and was assassinated afterwards. I like his speech, and the speech cheers me up.

Yesterday

I had three classes yesterday. One is English philology introduction, and the others are Japanese modern history and English grammar. I have slept during class. I sometimes stay up late, so I often sleep during class. I was not able to concentrate on a class. I had a part-time job after school, too. In addition, lotteries began in Seven-Eleven from this month. You can pull one piece of lottery when you buy it more than 700 yen. Everything is OK. When the lottery of the hit appears, we must bring the product of the hit. I was very tired. I don't have a part-time job today, so I can relax. I think that lotteries should be over early.

Today's plan

I got up at 8:10 this morning. I had toast, omelet, a glass of Calpis, and chicken. Then, I washed my face. I didn't have enough time to wear contact lenses, so I wore glasses. I wanted to go to the convenience store to buy lunch and a cigarette, but my parents told me not to buy a cigarette. I gave up buying it. I went to school by bicycle. I bought only lunch at the bakery near my house. I thought that I was late for a school, but I was in time. I have two classes today. I sometimes sleep during class. Therefore, I intend to concentrate on a class. I will go to the library after school, and I have to prepare for the tomorrow's announcement. I hope that the announcement goes well. I want to go to Baskin-Robbins again, but I don't have enough money to buy it. I think that I don't enough time to go to club activities today. I'm very sleepy. I'm so sleepy. I intend to go to bed early. I have to get up early tomorrow, and I don't listen to music today. I don't have a part-time job today, so I'm happy.

Ice cream

I went to Baskin-Robbins alone last Friday near my house. I ate “Challenge the Triple”. Do you know this? You can order three kind of favorite ice cream. I ordered fruity dew sorbet, thirty one party, and blueberry panna cotta. Because I ate ice cream I was full. I have not eaten ice crepe yet, so I want to eat it sometime. I love Baskin-Robbins. I want to eat cream soda, chocolate chip and strawberry cheese cake next time.
