BR 2-04: More Macdonalds

I read a book. The title was More MocDonalds. The book's picture was very cute, so I wanted to borrow this book.

The story was about McDonald family. Dad planned to build a new house and he told his sons and daughter about that at morning. Then the twins were worried, because they thought they had to leave their friends and the school and the park. But they didn't need to move. 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.

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 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.

Essay 2-01b: My favorite places

I have a lot of favorite places. If there is not the place, I have a lot of stress. I think the places are very important for me to live every day. My room and a sea are in particular my favorite places.

The first place I’d like to tell about in my room. My favorite place is my room, because I'm able to be relaxed there. There are no people in my room, so I don't have to care about a person. I like there being at alone. I always read a book, or listen to music, or sleeping in my room.

There are a bed, three cushions, a table, a shelf and TV in my room. My favorite thing is a cushion. There are three cushions, and one cushion is very big among three. And the big cushion is soft. I am comfortable when I sit on the cushion. I bought it in Nitori. It is cheap, and the form and color is also good. I think that I did good shopping. I am satisfied about my room. However I want to have a plant in my room now. There was a plant before, but I didn't take care of it properly, so it died. Therefore I want to grow the plant again, and I want to take the room where is full of green!!

Next is the sea. There are many seas in Japan, but I like all seas. I always go there by car with my family or my friends. When I found the sea first, I thought it was very big puddle!!

I like to watch the sea in all seasons. For example, I like the sea of the summer to shine by solar light and the winter sea of the winter when the sea breeze is cold. When I watch the sea and hear the sound of the wave, I'm comfortable. The sea is beautiful and big. When I was tired or troubled, I went to the sea and got spirit from it. But I don't like to swim in the sea, because the seawater is hot. If I drink it or catch sight, I can't stand. I like to watch the sea only!! My grandfather and grandmother's house is near the sea, so I'm always happy to go to their house. However, when I leave their house, I feel lonely and I want to go there again.

I need to have my favorite places. My room gives me healing every day. To sleep in the bed, to read a book and to eat the sweet are stress relieving for me. And the sea gives me a lot of spirit. The sea is not only a beautiful place but also place of cleaning the heart. Both of the places are important for me.

I talked with a lot of people by a speaking class. The class was about summer vacation. There were some questions, and find someone who can answer yes to my questions. If I can find the person, I have to write the person's name. It is a good chance, because I can speak almost classmates. And I'm able to remember their name. I think the university dose not have the connection of the class than a high school. But our department is closer than other department, because our department has these classes. I think it is good for me.

I didn't travel outside of Kyushu during vacation, but I went to Fukuoka twice. I went there for sightseeing in first time. In second time, I went to there to take the travel exam. I thought that Fukuoka was a big city, because there are many high buildings, many cars and a lot of people. I was surprised that twice. And the travel exam was held in Fukuoka College of Economics. The college was very big and very beautiful. I was at a loss, because it was large. But I could know such a large college.

Hiromi and Kumi also went to Amakusa. They went there to do a BBQ and to swim in the sea. I was not able to swim in the sea, so I was enviable. But I didn't buy a swim wear in this summer, so I want to buy it next year. And I will go to swim in the sea. I want to go to a Mogusi shore, because the sea is famous for a beautiful sea. I have to diet from today!!
