BR 2-10: I Am a Star

I read a book now. The book was kind for me, because the book's level was 1. I often read some more difficult books, so I could read it soon. The book's story was about star. I am interested in star. When I found it, I decided to borrow the book soon.

It was a book that became feeling of the star. The star was Polaris. Polaris is the North Star. All stars move for a few months, but the star alone doesn't move. It stays in the North. So sailors use it find their way.

We can't see stars in the daytime, because there is too much light. And we can't see it on a cloudy night, because it hides behind cloud. We can see stars on a clear night. Long ago, people saw pictures in stars, and they are called it constellations. Some people saw bears, and other people saw dippers. Now there are 12 constellations.

To see stars better, you need a telescope. The study of stars is called astronomer. When I was child, I wanted to be it. I like watching stars, so I wanted to use a big telescope.

There are a lot of stars. We make the star from various materials. Some flags have stars. We sing a song about the star. And we wish upon the star.

When I read this book, I found that there are many stars near our lives. And I learned about Polaris. When I lose my way, I want to watch it. And I can know where the North is. I have become to like star more since I read it.

I read a book today. The book's title was Young Cam Jansen and the Library Mystery. I have read the book's series before. The book was interesting, so I wanted read it again. Cam who has a great memory appeared in the book. And her father and Eric also appeared in it.

One day, they went to the library. Cam borrowed a book which was a dinosaur mystery. And Eric borrowed a book which was about a boy who got into lots of trouble. Her father was reading a book. Cam and Eric readied, so her father put in a bookmark and closed the book. They got to the supermarket after their books were checked out. She took a shopping cart, and she followed them. There were magazines and books for sale just inside the supermarket. As they walked into the store she asked her father, "What are we buying?" Her father reached into his shirt pocket. Then he shook his head and said, "I don't know what we need to buy. I lost the shopping list."

Eric thought maybe Cam remembered what it was on the list. But she never looked at it. Her father remembered that putting it in his shirt pocket and there was a lot more on the list. Her father checked his pockets again. He took out some coins, keys, and his wallet. And he looked in his wallet, but he did not find the list. Her father thought that maybe it fell out of his pocket. Then a worker was sweeping the front of the sore. Eric ran to him, and "Did you find a long piece of paper?" he asked. He answered " I just sweep everything into that corner. You must be over there." And Eric found the shopping list. He took the paper off the floor. But her father realized it was not ours list. It was thrown out by someone.

Her father thought maybe I dropped in the library. And he walked toward the exit, so they followed him. Cam looked at the books. Lots of them were mysteries. Then she found where the list was. "I'm looking at a picture of a small piece of the shopping list. I'm looking at it right now." she said. They left the supermarket, and arrived at their car. She said "The mystery you borrowed is on the front seat. Open it and you'll find the shopping list." And the shopping list was there as her saying. So he must have used it as a bookmark. After that, they walked toward the store again.

I thought this book is such as demystification. I like Cam solves the problem. She has really great memory. I always want to read this book again after this book's series. I want the memory like her, so I can enjoy more.

BR 2-08: Hansel and Gretel

I read a book. The book's title is Hansel and Gretel. The story is famous, but I don't know much. So I want to read it.

Hansel and Gretel were very poor, and their stepmother was very scared. So their dinner was only a slice of bread. They were always starving. They finished eating dinner, so they went to their room to sleep. When they were into their bed, they heard nagging downstairs. The stepmother said "Tomorrow, we'll take Hansel and Gretel deep into the forest, and leave them there!" When they heard that, they were scared, but Hansel had an idea. At the night, he tiptoed outside. There were a lot of white pebbles that gleamed in the moonlight. He collected as many as he could and stuffed them into his pocket.

The next day, the stepmother asked them to walk in forest. Hansel squeezed Gretel's hand as they left the house, pretending they knew nothing. Finally, the stepmother said "The children should rest." And the father and mother walked away. But Hansel did not in a hurry, because he put the stone on the passed road. So they could come back their home. But the mother was not happy. She decided to leave them in more deep forest tomorrow. So Hansel crumbled the bread along the way to leave the trail. Soon, the trees were so thick, so they blocked out the sky. And the mother and woodcutter also left them.

When they also went back home, the bread disappeared, because many birds ate that. They were very trouble. They couldn't come back their home. By morning, Hansel still didn't have a plan. So he decided to walk until they find the edge of the forest. They walked all the day, and there were a little house. The house was made by sweets, so the wall and the roof and the windows were able to eat. They were very happy, and they ate that. But there was an old woman in the house. The woman was a nasty witch, so Gretel confined her in the oven.

Safe at last, Hansel and Gretel searched the witch's house for goodies. They took some jewels and a basket of snacks, and then set off the trees. The birds showed them they way home. The woodcutter was overjoyed to see them. As for their stepmother ? She wasn't there. They lived happily.

When I finished reading this book, I was able to understand all the story. I didn't know why they made the tail of bread, but I know now. The stepmother was bad woman, but Hansel and Gretel were very strong and kind. I thought good to this story finished by happy end. I gave spirits from the story. I want to read it again.

JOB

Hello!! I worked my part-time job with my friends last Saturday and Sunday. My friends were Hikari and Manami. The part-time job was event stuff. We did not know anything, so we were excited. We had to get together in RKK at 6:45 a.m. last Saturday. When I listened to that first, I was surprised because of the early time. But I am not weak in the morning, so I thought that I did not get up late. I went to bed at 11:00 p.m. last Friday, and I got up at 5:00 a.m. next morning. Then the sun did not rise, so the outside was dark and very cold. I wared a lot of clothes, and I left my house at 6:10 a.m. I went there by car. Of course, the driver was my mother. I don't have a drivers license. We didn't have breakfast, so we decided to go to McDonald and buy two hot apple pies and hot coffees. They were very delicious, so I could eat more.

When I arrived at RKK, there were few people there, but Hikari and Manami were not there. It was very cold, so I decided to wait in the bus. After a few minutes, my friends arrived. We didn't know where we worked in. I often get carsickness, so I was sleepy during the moving. When I got up, I was in Saga. And my job was to sell the popcorn with Hikari. We have never cooked the popcorn before, so we were excited. There were two machines to cook the popcorn. But one of machine broke down, so we had to cook one machine. We needed much time to cook popcorn. When I noticed, the long parade was made. We wanted to give it early, but we couldn't. We apologized to many guests, and we were very tired. It was about 3:00 a.m. to come the new machine, but there were few people at that time. We thought today was a hard day.

When we came back in Kumamoto, the time was 7:30 p.m. Manami and I stayed in Hikari's house. The dinner was curry. We have stayed her house three times, and her mother always cooked us delicious dinner. Thank you, Hikari's mother!! After I finished eating dinner, so I was very sleepy. I stepped into a bath, and I washed my teeth. I readied to be sleep. Manami and Hikari talked and used PC and watched TV. I also watched TV, but I was sleepy soon. We had to work the next day, so we had to get up early. I set on alarm.

I got up at 5:00 a.m. I wanted to sleep more, but we would be late if I was sleep again. I washed my face with the cold water, so I could awakes clearly. We went out as much as yesterday. But the day was different from last Saturday, because we could use two machines. So we finished working without difficulty.

When we came back in Kumamoto, we stopped in Hirokawa Inter. And we bought waffles. The taste was blueberry cheese, and it was delicious. The two days happened to many things, but we had a good experience, and we got much salary. I want to work again!!

Essay 2-02b: Coca-Cola and Pepsi

I like Coca-Cola and Pepsi, so I often drink those. However I don't know the different of the two. Though both Coca-Cola and Pepsi are popular soft drink, there are differences between the two. So I wanted to look into various aspects.

First I examined Coca-Cola. The history was surprised for me. There was a medical treatment master. His name was Pem berton. He hit on the development of the medical liquor. And he developed it in 1885. The name was French・Wine・Coca. One day, he had mixed the soda water with it by chance. But it was delicious, so he added syrup in it, and he began to sell it. It is the Coca-Cola now. He happened to make the Coca-Cola.

Next it is sales of Coca-Cola. It has sold about 2.6 trillion yen a year. It shows that it is drunken 13 hundred million cups a day by people. It is a remarkable figure!! And it is said that there are only two people who know how to make Coca-Cola. The two people don't ride on the same airport because of preventing the secret.

Second I examined Pepsi. The history of Pepsi was different from that of Coca-Cola. Keyreb Bradhum who was a medical treatment master sold a drink. The drink was a medical treatment medicine to cure a suffering from indigestion. The drink contained pepsin which was indigestion ferment, so it named Pepsi cola by him. But Pepsi was not popular than Coca-Cola, so they began to sell it with the beer bottle whose amount of content is larger than the bottle of Coca-Cola. Therefore management of Pepsi goes well now.

The sales of Pepsi are not more than that of Coca-Cola. But it has sold about 350 hundred million yen a year. It was sold in about 200 countries. It is famous that they have a lot of kinds and an ordinal taste. For example, they sold Pepsi azuki, Pepsi siso and Pepsi nex.

I was very surprised about the history of Coca-Cola. It was made by chance, and it has become a very popular drink. On the other hand, Pepsi made many kinds of the taste, and it becomes popular now. I think the idea of Pepsi is a reason for its popularity. It is great that Coca-Cola and Pepsi complete each other, so there will be a lot of more excellent goods.

BR 2-07: A Night Out

I read a book now. The book's title was A Night Out. The book has a CD, so I also listened to it. When I borrowed the book, I always think that I feel gained feeling. So we are able to read and listen. But I want to borrow the long story more next time.

The story was about a night party. In Friday night, Ruf and his friend Ruby was taken to the school dance by Ruf's mum. I was surprised, because such a thing is impossible in Japan. My
parent will not take me the night party. I think America is different from Japan again.

There were a lot of kids inside. Some were laughing and shouting over the music. Some were eating and drinking. But no one was dancing. Ruby wanted to dance, so Ruby grabbed his hand and took him out into the middle of the room. But he wouldn't dance then, because there were some boys who shouted out to him. He did not hear what they said, but they were laughing at him surely. She encouraged him, and said "If you don't dance, you will not have fun." And she started dancing. She did not look at the boys, so she was having a fun time. When he looked her, he started dancing, too. He was very fun, because he did just what he wanted to do.

When he had fun, he stopped and looked around. Then, all kids were coming over to dance with them. And no one is looking at him. After that, his mother came back to take them. When they came back their home, he said her mother that " It was good fun."

I thought that it is the best to do what I want to, so I can't be fun. It's great they danced the party. I want to do a night party in school, so we can make friends more. And we are able to spend our school life.

Hello. I have good news today!! It is that I passed a qualification of travel. I'm very happy now.

I started to study it from May. I don't have a qualification, so I thought that I should have any qualifications. Then I hited on that, because my friend has already taken it. When I heard that, I wanted to take it, too. The exam is not easy. If we want to pass the exam, we have to study hard. The subjects have divided into three. There are travel agency law, travel industry stipulation and sightseeing spot reason. And sightseeing spot reasons the most difficult of the tree, so I studied the subject most.

The exam was held on September. I studied it every day during summer vacation. I often went to a library of K.G.U., and I studied it about 6 hours in the day with coerce. The day which was not a course, I studied about 8 hours. But I thought that I had to study more. When the exam was near, I often had the dream. The dream was that I failed in one's exam. I was tensed every day.

When I came back from college last Friday, there was a paper in my desk. The paper was from a post office. But I didn't become aware then, because I was busy for my part-time job. After that, when I cleaned my room yesterday, I remembered the paper. I watched it again. Then I was very surprised, because the address was from the travel association. I understood it for a moment that it was a notice about the travel exam. I asked my mother. And she answered that the post man visited my home to pass the delivery thing last Friday, but there was not person in my home then. Therefore he posted the paper. The paper said that information of mail keeping.

I called post office today, and the post man said that came to my home from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. of today. While he came my home, I didn't calm. And the post man visited my home about 8:00 p.m. I singed the delivery thing, and I opened the envelope. There was notification of acceptance in that. I was happy then and I am happy now. I think that I may study hard. It is a good experience for me!! I passed the exam, so I got 20,000 yen from college!!! But the course's charge and the exam's charge were very high, so I will give the money to my parent. The travel exam was in domestic, so I would like to take the exam of overseas next year.

I would like to take qualification more next year. Next, I will take a TOIEC. I study English during spring vacation, and I want to take it in April or May. And I want to gain confidence from the good result.

I borrowed four books, and read a book today. The title was ARTHUR AND THE SCHOOL PET. I often read some books of Arther series. They were very interesting, so I want to read it again. And the pictures were cute.

The story was about D.W. who was Arthur's sister and her school's pet. Her school keeps a gerbil. But there were Christmas vacation, so anyone had to take it home for the holidays. Then D.W. took it. Its name was Speedy, and Speedy was speedy. She had to be careful. When D.W. went to home, Arthur helped D.W. carry it home in his cage.

D.W. kept Speedy in her room. She played with him, and she tried to teach it to stand on one paw. She told it " Be a ballerina. And I'll give you this cheese." On Christmas Eve, she put its cage under the Christmas tree. She thought that Santa will bring a present for it, too. After she went to bed, Arthur put a piece of cheese in its cage. It was a present for Speedy.

The next morning, she saw its cage. Then she was very surprised, because the cage was empty!!
Her family looked under the sofa and behind the presents and all around living room. But it was not anywhere. Then Arthur looked up at the tree, and it was on top of the tree. It was eating a piece of cheese and standing on one paw. She thought that it was a ballerina!! She felt happy then.

Somehow it got out of his cage three more times. Once they found it under the cake box, and he was eating carrot cake. One they found it sleeping in her dollhouse. And once they found it in his snow boot.

It was the day before of the going to school day. She wanted it to give a bath. She said that her mother. Then it took off like lightning!! It would not into a bath. They looked upstairs and downstairs and boxes and closets. But no one could find it. After all, she decided to sleep. She crawled under the covers. Then she felt something warm and furry.

BR 2-05: Young Cam Jansen

I read a book last night. The book's title was Young Cam Jansen and the Zoo Note Mystery.

Cam Jasen and Eric Shelton are good friends. They always go to school by school bus. They were going to go to the zoo on the day. But there was a condition to go to the zoo. It was the note which was signed by their parent. Without the note, they can't go to the trip. And Eric brought the note the day. He always forgot where he put things. On the other hand, Cam has amazing memory. Cam's real name is Jennifer, but because of her great memory people called her "The Camera." Soon "The Camera" became just "Cam." When he showed the note to Cam, he looked for his right pants pocket and left pants pocket. Finally, he found the note in his shirt pocket. When they were in the school bus, he opened the lunch box and showed it to Cam. Then the bus arrived at the school, so he put on everything back and closed his lunch box. And they hurried off the bus.

When they came in their classroom, Eric told his teacher that he brought the note. And he reached into his right pans pocket, left pants pocket and short pocket. But there was not the note. He said " I had it on the bus." "Check the hall." the teacher said. Eric and Cam checked the hall. After that, they went to the office. They waited the ask if someone had found the note. Then she thought that Eric dropped it on the bus. And they looked on the bus seats and under them. But they didn't find the note. They thought a moment. Cam hit on. Maybe he put it in his jacket pocket. But it was not in the jacket pocket. He started to give it up. He was sad, because he brought the note but there wasn't it anywhere. At that time, Cam remembered. She knew where to find his note. It was in the lunch box!! Eric got his lunch box, and opened it. Then he found the note. He was very happy, and he was able to go to the zoo. He thanks to Cam. And they went to the zoo happily.

I think Cam has great memory. It is sure that she called Cam. If I was Eric, I was in hurry. When I was a school child, I wanted to go to the zoo absolutely. It was really good to find his note.

Essay 2-02a: Coca-Cola and Pepsi

I like Coca-Cola and Pepsi, so I often drink that. But I don't know the different of the two. Both of that are popular in all over the world. I wanted to examine about the history, the popularity rating and other different.

First I examined about Coca-Cola. The history was surprised for me. There was a medical treatment master. His name was Pem berton. He hit on the development of the medical liquor. And he developed it in 1885. The name was French・Wine・Coca. One day, he had mixed the soda water with it by chance. But it was delicious, so he added syrup in it, and he began to sell it. It is the Coca-Cola now. He happened to make the Coca-Cola.

Next it is sales of Coca-Cola. It has sold about 2.6 trillion yen a year. It shows that it is drunken 13 hundred million cups a day by people. It is a remarkable figure!! And it is said that there are only two people who know how to make Coca-Cola. The two people don't ride on the same airport because of preventing the secret.

Second I examined about Pepsi. Pepsi changed mixing that like stock solution of Coca-Cola. And they sold it. But it was not popular than Coca-Cola, so they began to sell it with the beer bottle whose amount of content is larger than the bottle of Coca-Cola. And the cost was as same as Coca-Cola. Therefore management of Pepsi goes well now.

The sales of Pepsi are not more than that of Coca-Cola. But it has sold about 350 hundred million yen a year. It was sold in about 200 countries. It is famous that they have a lot of kinds and an ordinal taste. For example, they sold Pepsi azuki, Pepsi siso and Pepsi nex. And they have a lot of websites. The websites are different in each country, so we would not get tired.

I was very surprised about the history of Coca-Cola. It was happened to make, and it has became a very popular drink now. On the other hand, Pepsi devises the taste and websites. I think the effort is a popular reason. It is great that Coca-Cola and Pepsi complete each other, so there will be a lot of more excellent goods.

Bad planed that they were going to build extra rooms on the side of their house. And the house was their new bedroom. But the twins began to fight about the new bedroom.

MacDonald family member were dad, mother, Mouse, Jojo and Pip. Jojo and Mouse were in same bedroom and they always sleep in same room. Jojo and Mouse have a double-deck bed. If Jojo turned over in her sleep, she made both the beds shake. Mouse thought that when he turned over, he didn't make Jojo shake. And he could see a face in the pattern on the wallpaper. It was there every night, smiling at him. It watched while he slept. Then Mouse thought. He knew what he was going to do in the morning.

At the breakfast time the next day Mouse told an announcement. He said that " I want to Jojo to have the new room when it is ready." Everyone looked at him. And Mam asked him "What made you change your mind?" He said simply that "I like the old room."

When I finished reading this book, I felt admiration. I have an older brother and a younger sister. And my room is the biggest of other rooms. First, my room was my brother's room. But I wanted the biggest room, so my brother transferred me. Then I thought my brother was very kind. Mouse is also very kind. I think Jojo must be happy. I would like to learn him.

When I read the book, I didn't understand the story perfectly. But I could understand, because I listen to the CD. It is good for me to listen to the CD. It becomes study of listening and reading. I want to borrow the book which has a CD.

The story was little scary. Jess went to stay with her friend Carla for the night. Carla has a lot of animals. There are three birds, five cats and one little dog, so her house was always lively. They pend watching TV and playing with Carla's pets. And it was the time when they went to bed.

Carla got into bed. But Jess stayed up, because she did not want to go to sleep. Then she heard the noise. She was very scary, so she tried to get up Carla. But she did not have her hearing-aid in. She stayed asleep. She heard the noise again from outside the window. She went to near the window.

Sitting at the window was one of Carla's cats. It looked like that it wanted to come inside, so she helped it in. Then she noticed one thing. The cat was making that noise. She was relieved, and she went to the bed.

When I was child, I didn't like to go to bed alone. I thought that night was very scary, so I agreed Jess's feeling. I thought it was very good that the noise's criminal was cat. The book was interesting!!

Hello!!

Hello. I'm Jessica. I'm from Canada. Canada is very great place. There is very cold in winter, but there is cool in summer. Kumamoto is very hot and wet in summer, so I felt uncomfortable. The
Famous food of Canada is maple. It is sweet and delicious. If you eat that, you put the maple on the pancake. I think it is delicious more!! I love how to eat it.

I'm 24 years old. My job is weather announcer. I reflect in the television every day, so I have to be beautiful and must not be cold. I always get up at 3:00 a.m., and the weather news stars at 6:00 a.m. I have to get up early, so I sleep soon when I come back home. I am living alone. I do housework every day. My good dish is a beef stew. If I cook it, I always cook it two days. The taste is very good, I think. I have a boyfriend. His name is Steven. He is very cool. His job is a doctor. We went to same university, and we were same club. When I saw him first, I fell in love. And he also felt same thing with me. We have passed three years since we associated. He loves my stew, so I often cook it.

I like watching movie. If I am free time, I always watch a movie. My favorite movie is 'Green mile'. The movie is very impressed. I watched it first, I was very shocked and sad. I used a box of tissues. Please watch it once!! The movie is long, but you won't repent. And I watched 'Wonted' these days. The movie was also interesting. The movie's hero is very cool and wild. He was very weak and unreliable first, but he became strong step by step. The movie has action and suspense. You will be able to watch it soon.

I hate smoking. I don't want every people to smoke. I cannot ride on the car if the driver smokes. I cannot stand the smell, so I would feel sick in the car. And I don't like to stick my dress of the smell. Smoking is not good for healthy, so I think everyone should stop to smoke.

I listened to music in last speaking class. The music title is 'Move it on Over'. The music was very good. But I couldn't listen to the words of a song perfectly, so I would like to check it.

7. So get it on over scoot it on over
9. This dog house here is mighty small
11. So ease it on over drag it on over
13. She told me not to play around

16.Move over nice dog cause a bad dog's moving in
24. Move over good dog cause a mad dog's moving in
27.So shove it on over sweep move it on over

I made a mistake with these red words. I want to listen to this song again. I would like to do my best more next class.
