My favorite drink

My favorite drink is cola, orange juice, apple juice, grape juice, milk tea, ice tea, green tea, beer, coffee, chocolate shake, ginger ale, cocktails, and bourbon. I like tomatoes, but I don’t like tomato juice. I don’t like vegetable juice and sparkling wine, either. I can’t drink red or white wine and Japanese sake. And I don't like grapefruit juice. I tried to drink tequila and whiskey, but I had a hangover two years ago. I like fruit juice. I have drunk bourbon, tequila, and whiskey. They have high alcohol frequency. However, these are very delicious. I sometimes buy beer at the convenience store. I like drinking very much.

BR: 1-02 King Midas and the Gold

"I love gold," said King Midas. (P. 10) 

I read this book. The title of the book is “King Midas and the Gold”. It is a very interesting book, and it is easy to read.
It is about King Midas, who was rich and old man gave him his wish. He wanted everything he touched to turn to gold. But he found out that his wish was not a good thing. Unfortunately, he went to the river and lost his wish. I want to be a rich person too, but I would not make the wish that King Midas made.
He was a real king, and he lived in ancient Greece around 3,000 years ago. I can't believe it. I would like to travel Greece someday.

Welcome party in Tsurukame

Last Wednesday, our circle held a welcome party for freshman. It was an Italian food and French restaurant. The name of the shop is called “Tsurukame”, and it is in Shimotori. We ate cheese fondue, diced steak, bagna càuda, Chinese-style fried chicken topped with chopped scallions and sweet vinegar and soy sauce, Spaghetti Aglio Olio e Peperoncino, and cream pasta of uncured ham and spinaches. I drank cocktail of the fuzzy navel, two glasses of beer, bourbon, three glasses of orange juice, and cola. I drank too much alcohol, so I seemed to have a headache. However, I had to preside. We ate fruit parfait, chocolate parfait, strawberry parfait, mango parfait, strawberry ice cream, natto parfait, coconut parfait, chocolate ice cream, and kiwi fruit parfait after meal, too. (Huh?) I didn’t know who order parfait so much. I seemed to have a stomachache. But, it was delicious. I thought that natto parfait was not delicious. I didn't eat natto parfait because I don't like natto.

 We had a very good time. I want to go someday.

By the way, have you ever drunk bourbon? I have drunk bourbon twice. Bourbon has high alcohol frequency. However, it’s very delicious. I like beer better than bourbon.

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.
