Kazegatsuyokufuiteiru

I watched a DVD at my home last week. The title was “Kazegatsuyokufuiteiru.” It was a stage play. Ayaka lent me it. I was looking forward to watching it very much. I have read the original work and the movie before. It is a very interesting book and movie. When I read and saw it, I was impressed very much. It is a story that university students work hard for Hakone-ekiden Relay Race. I like the story! The original book is in the library, so you can borrow and read it!

BR 2-06: The Long Tunnel

I read this book “The Long Tunnel” The main character was Paul, Sheila and Charles. They were university students. They planned to stay in Paul’s uncle’s cottage for a week. They promised to meet at the station, but Paul didn’t come there for a long time. So Sheila and Charles went to the cottage. They arrived at the cottage however there was a suspicious man and he said that Paul was not there. Sheila and Charles doubt the man. They knew that Paul was in the cottage and he was made to sleep! They helped him. Paul said “The man and his mate are going to rob a train tonight.” Paul, Sheila and Charles disturbed to rob.
I thought that Paul was poor, he experienced fearful experience. It is good for him to be not killed. It is important to believe friends. If friends and I cooperate, we can do many activities and settle some problem. “A friend in need is a friend indeed."

Typing Week6: My favorite car

My family has two cars. One is my father’s car and the other is my mother’s one. They drive the cars every day to go to their place of work and go shopping. I take the car on ordinary days. My mother drives me to the station near my home in the morning. I usually walk my home. But if I returned home late at night, my father goes to meet me at the station. I thank them very much. And the car is very useful. I have a driver license. I got it last year but I don’t drive car recently. I feel fearful to drive the car now because I have not driven the car for long time.

23th, 24th

I went shopping with Ryoko and stayed in her home yesterday. I had promised her to do it since last month. I was looking forward it very much.

I was going to meet her at 11:30, but I could not meet her in the time because I had a trouble in my home. First, I went to the station near my house, but I remembered that I must do it in my home. I called my father who was in my home and asked to do it. However, my father could not understand that I asked him. I had to return my home once. So I missed the train. Ryoko forgave me for it. I thanked her. After all, I could meet her at Kumamoto station one hour ago. We took a street car and arrived at Toorityosuji. We went to several shops, for example VILLAGE/VANGUADE, TOUR RECORDS and PLAZA. Other shops were book stores or clothes shops. There were a lot of lovely goods and clothes. I love to window shopping, because I want to buy many things I want but I don’t usually have any money… I bought a towel, a chouchou and a headband called Katyusha. They were bargain goods. I was glad to buy them cheaply! And Ryoko chose the chouchou for me. Its pattern is vertical strips and color is baby pink and brown. It is like APORO color. It is a lovely chouchou! Thanks, Ryoko.

We went to Kumamoto station and took the train for Matsubase. We arrived at the Matsubase station at six or so. Then we went to a supermarket and bought dinner and drink. Ryoko’s mother came to the supermarket by a car to pick us. I thanked her. I met her pet, Cocoa when I arrived at her home at once. Cocoa is a small dog. Her fur is almost black but paw and belly is white. I thought that she looks like a small bear when I saw her. She was very cute. I became to like her immediately! Then we returned Ryoko’s room. We watched a DVD while eating dinner. We talked a lot about DVD and recent condition. The DVD was longer than I expected but it was interesting and moving for us. I lay on a futon that was prepared by Ryoko and her mother. I was happy that it was a soft and fluffy! It was good to lie down. I read her comic books while lying. After three a.m. I felt sleepy. I slept before I knew it. I woke up at six thirty. I began to read the sequel to the comics because Ryoko had slept yet. After Ryoko got up, we watched TV for a short while. And then we ate breakfast at the first floor. It was good breakfast! It was likely to rain. I wanted to go my home before it rain. So I prepared to go home. However, I could not leave Ryoko’s home because I often watch the movie as preparing! Ryoko’s mother drove me the Matsubase Station, also Ryoko and Cocoa saw me to there! I thanked them. I arrived at my home at twelve in the end.

I enjoyed a lot today and yesterday. I had a sense of fulfillment. I thank Ryoko, her mother and Cocoa! I wanted to stay her home again!

Folding paper

We made Japanese paper wallet and penguin in speaking class today. Today’s activity is interesting for us. First, we were separated into two groups, A and B. Group A went to 425 classroom. Then the teacher distributed papers that were written how to make Japanese wallet. We practiced to tell the explanation without showing how to make it. After practice, B group came into the classroom. I taught Ryoko how to make it. Then Ryoko taught me how to make penguin. It was more difficult than paper wallet. I thought that B group was hard work. But penguin is cute looks.

By the way, I tell you how to make paper wallet now. You have to prepare a piece of paper. Then, fold your paper in half horizontally. Unfold it and fold the top to the center line. Next, fold the bottom to the center line. Turn it over. Fold the left and right edges to the middle. Finally, fold the paper in half so that the top edge meets the bottom. That’s all. You have a Japanese paper wallet, now. Can you make it? It is very difficult to make it by reading this paragraph only. If you make it, please ask me how to make it. I will teach you it.

After this activity, my group member had folded paper into the figures. We were absorbed in it! One made Pakkunchoes, others made Crains. I wanted to make a paper box, but I made a mistake. The paper was not good. I will make a box next class.

The picture is penguins, cranes, and pakkuncho and paper wallet. However, the paper wallet is not conspicuous…

Essay 2-02a: My Language Learning Experience

I have learned language since I was born. First language is Japanese. Second is English, third is Spanish. I can speak Japanese fluently, but Japanese has difficult grammar and expression. I have learned it yet. I tell you about learning English and Spanish experience today.

When I was an elementary school student, there was no English class at my elementary school. I didn’t learn English then but I experience international cultural exchange. A man named Jason came to my school to exchange with us. He taught us easy English and we taught him Japanese play. My friends and I play “Karuta” with him. He was funny and kind. I had not talked with foreigner until that time. It was stimulative for me.

Since I became a junior high school student, I have learned English at the school. I was looking forward to learning English then, so I liked learning English. The class is interesting for me. We learned basis of grammar, words, pronunciation. And assistant language teacher often came at the class. I remember them now. They taught not only English but also their country culture. I liked hearing it very much.

Learning English in a high school is difficult for me. There were many classes in a week. Unlike the junior high school, English class was classified into about three. For example, it was reading, grammar, writing, oral communication. I had to do many assignments then and I read many articles. It was hard work. I had a teacher who I admired. I wanted to become like her, because she spoke English very well and she was intelligent. She taught me English well and told me anything. I like her very much. I was influenced by her.

I have learned English yet in the university. It is advanced experience. There are many students and teachers. It is stimulative. Also I do many activities there. For example, one of them is blog writing in English. It is hard for me, but I used to writing blog in English now than the old days. It is good task to practice writing.

I studied Spanish when I was a freshman. The reason why I chose Spanish was that there are many people who speak Spanish in all over the world. Spanish is easy to learn, because the pronunciation is like a Romaji reading. But grammar is complicated a little. Unlike English, Spanish’s verb change various form.

As you can see, I have learning language experience. It is hard and interesting experience for me, so it has developed me well. I am going to continue to learn English. Also I want to learn Spanish again or other language at the opportunity. Learning language is interesting for me. I do my best learning foreign languages.

BR 2-05: The Adventure of King Arthur

I read this book “The Adventure of King Arthur” There are six chapters. First chapter is the sword in the stone. The king Uther’s son was King Arthur. The King Arthur left him with Merlin who was a wise old wizard to keep him safe from his enemies. Some years passed, the King Uther died All over England, began fighting over which oh them should be king. No one knew about Uther’s king. Merlin announced ”Whoever pulls this sword from the stone is the true-born King of England” Many knights tried to move the sword, but no one could not it. However, Arthur could move the sword. He was surprised very much because he didn’t know that he is Uther’s son until then. So he was crowned king. It was first story about King Arthur.

I thought that King Arthur was helped by some people. They were Merlin, a foster, brother, queen of lake… He is great person by the grace of them. I thought that we should thank our family, friends and more.

I wanted to know about him more. So I looked for him a little. He was the great king of England and hero. It seems that his story is almost fiction, but there was his model. Also there are books, games, animations, movies that King Arthur modeled. He is loved by people.
