BR2-12: Wow

Have you ever thought about electricity?
I found this book in the library and I read this book. I was interested in this book because it was very interesting. I have never thought about electricity. What is it? And where does it come from? I didn't know that answer.. But I was think about many things after read this book. And I thought electricity was made by many people. Electricity is so useful but we should not forget what it become very dangerous sometimes....haha

This book is very nice for kids because there are funny experiment. I want to explain it but I think you should read this book. Then you can enjoy doing it. I think it is funny. And also this book is written about "Electricity safety tips". Therefore, you can learn about it. Then you never encounter with dangerous electricity....

BR2-11: Do my best!

I know this story. When I was kid, my mom always talked about this story. So I wanted to read this book again when I found this book in the our school's library. Then I borrowed this book.
This book tell us some important things. Harry who loved running is rabbit. And Tom who didn't do any practice for marathon. Harry practiced very hard. However, he couldn't get win because he became a lazy at last. And he thought "Tom is so slow, so I can be winner even if I ran very slowly."
And Tom didn't practice but he did his best, so he could win. I think he never give up! I think it is not good for us to do not practice. And also it is not good what we will be relieve and think we can do! I mean, we have to do our best from beginning to end.

BR2-10: Cool Cat, Puss

Hey, How are you everyone?
I found so cool and smart cat in the book. I was very surprised by him.

The cat, Puss is so clever! I never seen cat like him. He is very cute and smart. I love him.
His ideas were so nice! If I were him, I couldn't get good ideas like him. I want to be him because he is so ice. He is always thinking about his owner. I think his owner is very happy guy because he think about him a lot. And they became very poor, however, they became happy after that by the cat.I think he is great pet! I want him him! ha-ha
And I think his cap and cloak were so nice. It was cool.
But I couldn't understand why he can speak and stand....

It was very interesting book. You should read this book if you have free time!
(156 words)

BR2-9: What is important for us?

When I went to library, I found this book and I wanted to read this book, so I rented it.

I know this story before I read this book, but I never read or listen to this story in English. Therefore, I could feel different mood from this book. I become very sad because Ugly Duckling was very poor. He didn't do any bad things. However, everyone doesn't like him. And everyone said "You are so ugly ".

Is it ok? If you were other duck,　you would also think about that?
I think it is bad matter because everyone has different things with other. So Ugly Duckling is not Ugly, just different. I think people is also same.People has different things of body,character, thinking and so on with other people.It is not bad different even if they have different things. It become special point for themselves. Therefore, we should understand every one's different things. Then we can understand each other....

However there are its in this book. I didn't believe what there are gnomes and goblins in the world, but I was thinking about there are its in the world after read this book.


I want to meet them someday. Can I dream come true? Ha-ha, Even if I can't do that, I will meet them in my dream during sleeping.

Free writing ~Good for Me~

I used computer at first when I was 4th grade in elementary student. I didn't know how to use computer then. But I started learning computer when I was junior high school. I had to take Industrial Arts and Homemaking classes. Then, I had to learn computer. I didn't like to learn it because it was very difficult for me at first. I couldn't type well and I didn't know anything. I have learned computer until then. Now, I can do anything with computer!!
I will introduce what I do on computer now.

First, I often use computer when I have to do homework. If I didn't understand something, I always use Internet. They have many information, so I could understand some thing which I couldn't understand easily. It is good way for me. And we had to write blog on computer in writing class, so I use computer every week. When I write blog, I always look for photos in Internet. I like to find photos because it is very funny :)

Second, I often think I want to buy something, but I am very busy girl, so I can't go to shops many times. Then, I use computer and Internet. And I always buy something on Internet. It is so nice because I don't have to go shop and I can buy something in house! Some people say it is not safety, but I think it is safety if we use good website. I always use good website. Therefore, it is very great. And I can enjoy shopping on Internet.

Third, I have American friends. Of course, they live in America, so I can't meet them a lot. But we can talk together on email. We live in far away. However, if we use computer, we can keep in touch. And I use YouTube because I can put move on there, so American friends can see me and other my friends. And I also can see them if they put move on there. When I see it, I become very happy. I really like to look it. One of my friends make songs and he send me it on email, so I can always listen his songs. Sometimes, I think that we are in very near town because we can contact a lot each other.

Finally, I like to listen to music. Therefore, I use computer and I listen to music. If I found good songs on Internet, I download them on computer and then I put them on my phone. Then I can listen to music during go to school. And I look for the words of a songs if I don't know it. I can find out them very easily if I use Internet.

Learning computer is very very difficult for me. However, learning computer is also good for me because there are many good points. I have done many things on computer since I started learning computer. I would not know how to use computer and couldn't do anything if I didn't learn it. Computer is very very useful, so I think it was very good for me what I was learning computer. And I want to learn more about computer. Then I will use computer more well :)

November 29

I went to Ueki for part-time-job, tutoring at 6 pm. I taught math and Japanese. My student, Yaya who is 3 grade in elementary school didn't know difficult division like 1405 divided by 8, so I taught her it. I think she she is very smart becasue she understood it soon. At first, she asked me something, but she didn't ask me anything and she could do it at last.

After finished teaching, I drove my car and I went to Kumamoto because my friends, Chie and Miyo were waiting for me. An hour passed and I met them. Then,

We went to ジーラ which is 居酒屋 like bar and restaurant. (I think 居酒屋 = bar+restaurant)

We ate a lot of things and we drink alcohol a lot. We enjoyed talking.... we didn't stop to talk. We were very funny, I think.. because we were dinker. We could very good time!

I wanna go to there with same member again.

We started to go back Chie's house. I and Chie did 桃鉄 which is TV game. We love it, but I was very very sleepy, so I slept soon.... I am sorry Chie!

Next Day (November 30)

We got up at 10:30am. And we did 桃鉄 again because we didn't finished it last night.

Then we went to zoo in Kumamoto. Chie's mom and older sister made 弁当 for us, so we brought it. We arrived at there at 2pm. And we were looking many animals. I love animal, so I could spend very good time. And then, we ate お弁当. It was very very good taste!!! I love dishes which made by her mom and sister. Thank you for cooking it for us!

I have to got back my town because I had part-time job, so I said "See you again" and I left.

I went to part time job and got back own home at 9pm.

Secret of Kumamoto~Mysterious Entrance~

Do you know "Tonkararin"?
There is it in Nagomi, Kumamoto. But I think many people doesn't know it even if live in Kumamoto. I think it is very secret place.
Therefore, I will talk about it now.

It is kind of a cave or a tunnel. It is very deep and dirk. And it is very scary. There are many bats.
People made it by stones, but nobody knows why everyone made it now.
When I was kids, I went to there and I enter the tonkararin. It was very scary, but it was not narrow. I am interested in it because it is very very mysterious. I can't understand why they made it. Some researcher tried to research, but they couldn't found out many things, so there are many questions on tonkararin still.
I can't tell you a lot of things about it because it is difficult. I think if you are interested in it, you should go there and you should enter the it. It is very interesting but also scary. However, if you go there you can learn about many things. Then you will be surprised.


You can see pictures of it on this site.
http://inoues.net/ruins/tonkararin.html
http://kofunnomori.web.fc2.com/index.htm
I think you will think "I want to go there" after watching this web sites.
And this is movie.


I think you want to go there, right?
It is very good place if you want to know Japanese history.
Tonkararin has many secret things, but it has also very very important history in Japan.

Community ~Spend my Life with Soft Ball Team~

I will introduce my soft ball team to everyone. There are 15 or 20 members in my soft ball team. I wasn’t thinking about join soft ball team. Of course, I didn’t know about soft ball very well. And I didn’t like it a lot. But one of my friends Shyo invited to me.
One night, I get email from him. And he said me “let’s eat out with us!” Then, I and Risa who is my friend went to restaurant with him. And he talked about soft ball team. He wanted to make soft ball team. And he asked us "You guys, will you be a team secretary?" Then, we were thinking about it a lot because we never do that, so we were worrying if we can do that. However, he said us “it is easy. Don’t worry! You can do that”. So we decided to be secretaries. Then we started spending time as secretaries.

First, we gathered members of team. There are many friends who want to join this team, so we could gather member easily. Then, we decided to first practice day. We worried if members come to ground which we would do practice. But many members came to there and we could practice soft ball at first. We knew each other because we were same elementary school or junior high school. Therefore, we didn't need to introduce ourselves. Our first practice was very very bad. We didn’t know what we should do then. So only time passed. After practice, we were thinking what we should do at practice with everyone. Members said their opinions. And we do our best for soft ball.

Now, we always practice every weekend. And we are thinking about make uniform and join some games in our town. Our team is still weak, but members are very nice. And we are very very good friends. Not only practice with team, we also hang out together. We often go to bowling at Friday or Saturday nights. Of course, there aren't many girls. Girls are only I and Risa. However, we can spend very very good time with them. I think because boys are very nice persons as friends. I really like spend time with soft ball team.

I thought I can't have good relationships with boys until high school student. But now, I think I can have great relationships with boys. I was known it by soft ball team. We enjoy to play soft ball and to hang out together. It is not reason if we are girls and boys. We can have great relationships without regard to sex or age. My mind changed after became team secretary like that. I think I am a lucky girl because Shyo asked me if I become a team secretary. If I didn't become it, I would never change my mind, so I want to help soft ball team as a good a secretary even if I become older like mom.

I moved to K******* from F**** when I was 5 years old. Then I went to new preschool. I met her at first time. I didn't talk a lot with her, so I didn't know about her a lot. I and she entered same elementary school. And I knew we live in near house, so I got back home with her everyday. We talked about a lot of things such as "school", "love", "friends"and so on. We always hung out together. We entered same junior high school and we belonged to same club. Therefore, we were always together. And we went to same high school, too!!!!!!! And also WE BELONGED TO SAME CLUB again...ha-ha :) We went to many places when we had a time. We spent very good time together.

However, I entered different University with her. Her University is in F*****, so we can't meet each other a lot. But we are sending email or calling each other.

Therefore, I was so happy to meet her today. We went to restaurant and we ate lunch. We talked many things. We didn't stop talking because we had many things which we wanted to talk. And we ate 葡萄パフェ for dessert. It was very good taste.

I think we are are very very good relationships even if we are live in far away. I want to keep this relationships forever!

What is the most Important to me?

I watched Mrs. So I will introduce this movie now.
Main character are Daniel Hillard who has wife and their children, but he didn't have job, Miranda Hillard who is Daniel's wife and she is doing job and their kids, Lydia,Christopher and Natalie and Stu who is bossiness man and Euphegenia Doubtfire who helps children.
And minor character are Frank, Grolia, Jack Jonathan and so on.

One day, Daniel and his children wanted to have a party becasue that day was Chris's birthday. Then they did party until their mom came back. It was very very noisy, so neighbor, Gloria called Miranda.... So Miranda noticed what happen in her house. Then she went back soon and she asked them. She was very very angree.
Miranda asked her husband "I want to divorced you"... Daniel persuaded her, but she wouldn't say no. Therefor, he couldn't stay with his children everyday and he couldn't stay at thier house.

He was looking for new job for their family, but he couldn't find it soon. Finally, he got new job which is very hard job. And then, he heard what Miranda was looking for a home help for her kids. Daniel wanted to meet children a lot, so he decided to become their home help with funny idea. He good at changing voice, so he called her about it as some woman. And he played bad woman. Then he played great woman named Euphegenia Doubtfire. He passed interview with her. And she decided to her as a home help...... Then..... Daniel was doing job as Euphegenia Doubtfire......

It was very very funny. But I was thinking about something about family. My family is very very good.There are five people in my Japanese , dad mom, older sister and older brother and me. My dad is very good person. He goes to work everyday. But if he have holiday, he take somewhere to us. My mom is very very funny. Her smile is the best in the world. I am respect for my parents. And my sister is scary for me, but she is also good person!!! I think she is smart. And she is good at cooking. Her dishes are very nice. And My brother is great guy! I and he is very very good relationship as good friends. We always talk about school life, love, future and more. I can tell him everything. I think he is my brother also he is good my friend!I like to talk with my family when I go back home. If I get probrems, I talk with them about funny thing. Then I will be able to be happy. They make me very very happy.
What is the most important in family? I think smile is the most important in family. It was very bad mood in "Mrs. Doubtf" at fast. Husband and wife didn't live in friendship. I think it is very bad for their children and theirselves. My dad ane mom are very very good mood. So we can spend good time with family. My family make me happy. I think I need family forever.

And also I was thinking about me. Daniel was changed by family. I think it is very good things. I am changing now. I am changed by my dream. My dream is big dream, so nobady knows if it come true.

Free writing about communication

I will talk about "Communication".
I am studying English now. I thought I want to communication with other countries' people when I was child, so I decided to study English.
I met foreigner at first I remembered when I was junior high school student. But I didn't know English a lot, so I couldn't talk with her. So I studied English very hard.
When I was high school student, I went to America with a teacher and some people. I didn't think I can communicate with American people. But it was not true, I could! Of course, I couldn't talk with American friends a lot in English, but we could that with them because we didn't need language a lot. We could understand each other in our mind and body language. I learned then what we can communicate with American even if use English or Japanese.

But English is common language, so I can communicate with other countries' people if I can speak English more. So now, I am studying it a lot.

BR2-6: Naughty Girl, Junie B

I read this book. When I went to library, I found this book. I like them. I have read volume 1, 2, 3 of this series, so I borrowed volume 4 which name is "Junie B. Jones and Some Sneaky Peeky Spying".
I have a time on the train when I go to school and go back home. Therefore, I read book on train!

Junie B who is main character looks cute girl, but also looks "Naughty Girl". She always says funny things. And I think she likes this words "Guess what's?". I know she likes this words because she always said that word when she got probrems.....So I remebered this word from this book.

She is very good at hide somewhere.. I can't to hide somewhere like her. I think everyone can find me soon even if I hide some where because I am not good at that.. And I could understand her mind which scene she wants to know where Ms. live in. I also wanted to know that when I was elementary school student. But I couldn't ask teacher like Junine B. I think she is curious about anything. In the future, I think she will be intelligent person.

I enjoyed reading this books. I will read book which this series. I will read volume 5 this week :)

BR2-5: Who is a Winner?

My host family, Taj nominated Dr. Seuss children books when I went to book store in America, so I bought Dr. Seuss Children book which name is "Fox and Socks"

This book's characters are very cute. I like Knox and Fox. It was written hou to use preposition at first. I don't like preposition. It is very difficult for me. I couldn't know how to use it, so I take it potluck to its when I use it.

I think it is very bad idea that Sue and Fox sews many things such as rose slow Joe crow's clothes and so on. I could understan why knox doesn't like that game.

Fox has many ideas, but it is all bad ideas. If I were Knox, I would be angry and hate Fox.....

And I think Knox is smart. I thought Knox doesn't do anything for him. Why he doesn't do anything for him? He doesn't angry? I was thinking about it. But he did something at last. He shut Fox into the bottle with tweetlw beatles!!!!

I think Fox is loser and Knox is winner!!

It was funny book <3

Which do you like the best in your house? Living room? Bath room? Kitchin?
I like my room the best in my house. I thinki it is my favorite place.

But at first, I didn't like my room when I moved here from Fukuoka because it was very scary for me then. I was a very very young, so I thought it was very a big room for me. And I thought there were ghosts in there. But I don't know why I was thinking about them... I always spent times in my room with my sister. If I want to go there, I asked my sister or mother "Please come to my room with me, please." Yeees, I really hate my room then.

But when I was pupil, I become very very like. I didn't know why. I studied in there and also I played game there. My room became good place which I can play with my friend.
I didn't think what there are ghosts in my room without notice. And I could go to my room by myself then. Yes, I have never asked anyone since then even if I want to go my room.

Now, I really love my room. It is not scary!! My room is very very comfortable. There are many things like TV, bed, CD player and so on. If I want to sleep or listening to music, reading books.........I can do manythings in my room.
And also there are many pictures of me and friends and family which took in school, America, Guam........So, I can remember the very good memories if I am in my room. When I am spending time in there, I always listening to music and looking pictures! The pictures make me happy becasue I remembered good memories by them.

In the addition, there are many mickey mouse things! I love mickey mouse, so if I see mickey mouse in my room, my feeling become good. It healed my mind. And there are things which American friends sent me. When I see them, I rememmber many good memories in America also.

I think my room is the best in my house, so I love my room!!!! Do you want to come and spend time with me? HA-HA

If you come to my room, I think you will think what "I don't want to go back home" because my room is the best! This room's owner is also good <3>

BR2-4 : Cute boy but strong

I found this book in my University library. When I saw this book, I thought it is looks good for me because it is comic. So it is very easy for me to read. This is the reason why I borrowed this book from library.
First, I thought this book's English are difficult, but it was not. I could understand words' mean. Sometimes, I couldn't understand English. However I could imagine because there were pictures.

I think this book's boy is happy boy because he got special power sooner. And also I think the doctor was very bad because he through the baby to outside...... Can you imagine it?! But it is OK :) It is not real story. The main character Billy is very cute but he is very very strong. I think he will be good guy!!!!

Any way, I like all the character of this book. I like bad character also. This story was very funny for me. I was laughed by this book. And I think this book is very very easy for Japanese people. so if you have a time, you should read it :)
