This time, I watched a lot of websites about American culture. I spent long time to find good website. I am very interested in America. Especially, I'm interested in Hollywood, music, and culture what is unique. I found website about them. I was so happy when I could find it.
First, I am going to about Hollywood. I have been interested in Hollywood since I was junior high school student. At first, I thought just "Actress and actor are so cool and beautifil!" but I watched I lot of movies, and then, I am interested in Hollywood more than before. I have known that Hollywood is the movie capital of the world. However, after I read this website, I realized that I have a lot of things I have not known about Hollywood. Foe example, "Hollywood films are shown in colleges and in treatment centers as they depict people with mental illness and substance abuse." and so on. If I have not watched this website, I can't know a lot of things. I'm glad to find it and I can know about Hollywood more than before.

Next, I'm going to write about Rock and Roll of American music. Do you know this type of music? I have heard this name, but I don’t answer if someone asks me “What kind of music?” so, I want to know about this music. Rock and roll was the great synthesis of black and white American musical traditions. It began 1950’s. It is easy to read for us. I recommend you watch this website.
http://www.lifeintheusa.com/culture/rockroll.htm
Third, I am going to write about Yellow Ribbon of American culture. I have known it Yellow Ribbon a little, but I want to know more, so I watched website about it. Display of a Yellow Ribbon is a sign of loyalty to family, friends or loved ones who are welcome home. Have you known it? I have never known it. This website has back ground of Yellow Ribbon. I was surprised a little, because it is related to 19th Century Civil War Song. It gave me a chance to learn. I think this is great website, because we can know what we want to know, and we can learn back ground too! I recommend you it.

All the page of websites are easy to read and understand for me. After I read them, I feel happy, because I can get information what I want to know. I like America more than before.

Speaking: My dream TRAVEL(Revision)
Hello everyone! Today, I’m going to talk about TRAVEL of my future dream.
If I get married with my boy friend in the future, I want to go to Hawaii on a honeymoon. I want to stay there at least one week, because I have a lot of things to want to do with my husband. Especially, I have 3 things to want to do. Let me talk about it!
First, I want to go Waikiki Beach. At there, I would like to drink careful drinks and enjoy beautiful sea. Of course, I will wear a bikini. I think, almost every one thought that “You must be on a diet!” I know it. My boy friend often says to me “You should do weight!” I will do my best to wear a bikini. And At Waikiki Beach, I want to go for a walk around beach with him while watching the setting sun. I believe it is so beautiful and romantic! Of course I will walk hand in hand with him. It is more romantic!!! Don’t you think that?
Another things what I want to do in Hawaii is Diving. My father has visited Hawaii many times. He told me “If you visit Hawaii, You may do diving” There are a lot of beautiful fishes and sea is so clear. My boy friend and I have never done it. And, he likes watching a lot of kind of fish, so I want to do it with him. I think, he will jump for joy if he hear it.
The last thing what I want to do is shopping. There is a lot of brands shop. We can buy at a duty-free shop too. I would like to buy ring or necklace which is matching thing with him. I want to wear it forever. However, I want thing that is sold only Hawaii more than ring or necklace, because we can buy brand things in Japan. I think, it can be our treasure and happy memories for honeymoon.
This is my dream travel!! I believe dreams come true. Thanks for your listening.

BR 2-07: The Quest
I read the book named “The Quest”
Wilma was writing a story a quest. Wilma read the story to Biff.
Long ago, and far away, there was a beautiful land called Ulm. In a big cave, deep underground, was the crystal bell of Ulm. It was very beautiful. Even in the dark cave, it glowed like fire. The sound of the bell told every animal, every plant and every tree when it was spring or summer. The evil Grimlock lived in the cold, black mountains of Grim. He wanted the crystal bell of Ulm, and he spent years looking for it. Grimlock took the bell back to the land of Grim. In the sunlight, the bell looked so beautiful that Grimlock could not bear to look at it. Without the bell, the land of Ulm became dark and grey. All the beauty had gone from the land and the days were cold and long.
Biff liked it. Biff had to go to dentist. After Biff had gone, suddenly, the magic key began to glow, and Wilma was taken into a magic adventure. The magic took Wilma to the Land of Ulm. The land was cold and bare. Grimlock was hiding behind a tree. He wanted to stop Wilma from going on the quest. Soon the ground became wet and muddy. Her feet sank into the mud. Suddenly a white unicorn helped her. There was a ring tied to a ribbon round horse’s neck. She took the ring and the unicorn galloped away. She met a gnome there. The gnome took Wilma up the mountain to Grimlock’s castle. The gnome knew a secret way to get into the castle. At last, they came to the room where the crystal bell was hanging. Then the bell began to ring. It rang so loudly through the castle that cup and saucers broke, and the glass in the windows cracked. At last, Grimlock asked Wilma if she could make the bell stop ringing. Wilma and the gnome took the bell back to Ulm and the quest was over. When the bell returned, beauty came back to the land of Ulm again. The magic began to glow. Wilma finished her story.
This book is little longer more than ever I read, but it is interesting too. If I can use the magic, I also write story and taken by magic! If you can use magic, what do you do everyone?

Essays 2-01b: My special favorite placese
I have five favorite places in Kumamoto. Today, I am going to write about my five favorite places. My favorite places are Mt. Hanaoka, my grand faather’s house, Christmas season’s downtown, festivals and "kikuchijo" in Kikuka where we can see sunrise at New Year Day. These have some common points. One of these is at night, and other common points are quiet places, bustling and nature. I like there places so much, so I can’t choose only one.
One of my favorite places is Hanaoka mountain. Have you been there everyone? I have been there many times. At there, we can see so beautiful night view, stars, and moon if it is not cloudy. I like them very much. I think, some people likes lively night and some people like quiet night. I like both, but I like quiet night more than lively night. Hanaoka mountain is just right for me.
I have loved my grand father’s house since I was a child. His house is in Ueki. There are a lot of trees, beautiful stream and blue sky. It is just a country, of course there are no stores, but a lot of nature made me become composed. I can more set my mind than somewhere. I like nature so much.
However, I like down town too. At Christmas, there are many shiny illuminations, and it is glitter street. It made me feel “Today is Christmas!!” I like winter down town more than other seasons.
I like festival that is held my hometown called “yamagatourou” It is held in Yamaga every summer. At there, we can see beautiful fireworks. I am always impressed by fire works. Do you eat kakigori at festivals? I always eat it at festivals, because I like eating it while walking around festivals. I don't like bustling, but it is no problem just festivals.
I'm going to write about my especially favorite place. At New Year Day, I always go to see sunrise with my boy friend at “kikuchijo” in Kikuka. We can't sleep enough, because we must go “kikuchijo” early morning. If we don't go there early, we can't see sunrise. Sunrise is so beautiful and romantic! Our favorite place where we always go to see sunrise is in Kikuka. It is not famous, so only local people know there!
These are my five favorite places. I am glad if everyone who read my essay visit my favorite places.

My dinner - sukiyaki -
Good evening everyone! I had 3 classes today. Reading, “nihon bungaku koudoku” and Speaking. At Reading class, I was surprised at BEIJING, because at BEIJING, Chinese couples too young to legally marry who refuse to split up could be sent to work camps. Have you known it? I have never known it. When I was high school student, I wanted to marry on young age, but now I don’t want to marry on young age. I want to experience more myself. I want to do a lot of things myself!
At Speaking class, we talked someone our schedules, listened to music, talking for group, and so on. I had a good time.
By the way, I am going to write about today’s my dinner! Today, I eat “sukiyaki” I like it very much. In my family, we always pour meat, Chinese cabbage, carrot, strings of konnyaku block of deep-fried bean curd, velvet shank and udon into the pot. Side of sukiyaki is a scallop. My mother can not eat meat, because my mother eat scallop for meat! I ate so much, because I ate nothing until dinner!!! I am satisfied. Do you like sukiyaki everyone? In winter, I can ate it many times(^o^)♪

Hello everyone! Today, I’m going to talk about TRAVEL of my future dream.
If I get married with my boy friend in the future, I want to go to Hawaii on a honeymoon. I want to stay there at least one week, because I have a lot of things to want to do with my husband.
For example, I want to go Waikiki Beach. At there, I would like to drink careful drinks and enjoy beautiful sea. Of course, I will wear a bikini. I think, almost every one thought that “You must be on a diet!” I know it. My boy friend often says to me “You should do weight!” I will do my best to wear a bikini. And At Waikiki Beach, I want to go for a walk around beach with him while watching the setting sun. I believe it is so beautiful and romantic! Of course I will walk hand in hand with him. It is more romantic!!! Don’t you think that?
Another things what I want to do in Hawaii is Diving. My father has visited Hawaii many times. He told me “If you visit Hawaii, I want you to diving” There are a lot of beautiful fishes and sea is so clear. My boy friend and I have never done it. And, he likes a lot of kind of fish, so I want to do it with him. I think, he will jump for joy if he hear it.
The last thing what I want to do is shopping. There is a lot of brands shop. We can buy at a duty-free shop too. I would like to buy ring or necklace which is matching thing with him. I want to wear it forever. However, I want thing that is sold only Hawaii better than ring or necklace, because we can buy brand things in Japan.

Biff and Chip had been to London with Gran. They had some pictures which they into a scrapbook. They wanted to take the book to school. Gran come into Biff's room to look at the children's scrapbook, and she is pleased. Suddenly, the magic took the children into the kittle house, but did it take Gran? The magic key took them London. At there, they met a boy called Vicky. He said "I'm hungry. I know where we can get some money. Follow me!" They follow him down winding streets. At last, they come to a blacksmith's. He was looking at a horse's hoof. He said "I'll give you a penny to pump the bellows" they pumped and pumped until the fire glowed hot. It was hard work, and they are more hungry. Vicky take them baker shop. The bread is hot and smelled good.
Next, Vicky took them to a street with a high wall. A boy called Jack was waiting there. They all climbed on the wall. They could see Buckingham Place. There are 3 children inside. They are the grandchildren of Queen Victoria. They played together. At that moment, a grown-up came in and saw them. Everyone said "Oh no! Trouble!" The royal grandchildren were sent to bed. A policeman came to take the others away. They were taken to a police station. The next day, an important man came to see the children. He took them to Buckingham Place. At there, Gram was having tea with Queen Victoria. They said "Gram! What are you dong in our adventure!?" "I'm having an adventure of my own" She said. Queen Victoria looked at them and smiled. "Your grandmother has told me that you are good children. You can play with my grandchildren and stay to tea" she said. They were pleased and enjoyed. After all, the magic took them home.
I really envy them. I want to London too. I think, it is more difficult to enter Queen's house, but it is an adventure!! I want the magic take me some places where I want to go. I was exciting while I was reading this book.

Draft essay 2-01a: my special favorite places
I have 5 favorite places in Kumamoto. Today, I am going to write abut my 5 favorite places.
At first, one of my favorite places is Hanaoka mountain. Have you been there everyone? I have been there many times. At there, we can see so beautiful night view, stars, and moon if it is not cloudy. I like them very much. I think, some people likes lively night and some people like quiet night. I like both, but I like quiet night more than lively night. Hanaoka mountain is just right for me.
Next, I have loved my grad father’s house since I was a child. His house is in Ueki. There are a lot of trees, beautiful stream and blue sky. It is just a country, of course there are no stores, but it made me become composed. I like nature so much.
However, I like down town too. At Christmas, there are many shiny illuminations, and it is glitter street. It made me feel “Today is Christmas!!” I like winter down town more than other seasons.
Next, I like festivals. We have a lot of festivals every summer, and we can see beautiful fireworks. I am always impressed by fire works. Do you eat kakigori at festivals? I always eat it at festivals, because I like eating it while walking around festivals. I don't like bustling, but it is no problem just festivals.
At last, I'm going to write about my special favorite place. At New Year Day, I always go to see sunrise with my boy friend. We can't sleep a lot, because we must go there early morning. If we don't go there early, we can't see sunrise. Sunrise is so beautiful and romantic! Our favorite place where we always go to see sunrise is in Kikuka. It is local and local people only know there!

What should we improve of KGU
Good evening Mr.Waterman! I’m sorry to late. At this project, my group members are Hikaru and Shoko. I do the project with them at first time, so I am glad!!!
We decided topics. At first, we want more elevators at building 4 and building 11. There are only one each buildings, but a lot of student attend classes at there. We always can’t use it because if we use it, we late for classes to wait our turn.
Next, we want parking area for students. I come to school by my car, but there is not parking area. I rent parking space and pay 8000 yen every month. We think, a lot of students come to KGU by car and some students want to come to KGU by car. Why there is not parking area for students?
At last, we want more tables at bakery. We often go to bakery at noon, but there are not enough tables to having lunch everyone who wants to eat at there.
This is our topics.

BR 2-01: Egyptian Adventure
ReferenceRoderick, Hunt. (2001). Oxford University.Oxford England:Agyptian Adventure.
Today, I read the book named "Egyptian Adventure" At first, I'm going to write about this story simply. One day, three children found the book and the key took the children back in time. It took a dog named Floppy too. The magic took them back to Ancient Egypt. At there, Floppy was stuck on the blocks of stone, and the people who are Egyptian misunderstand him for a king! So, the children worked hard to made a stone statue what look like Flappy. Then, they got back him!
After I read it, I think this story is so interesting. It made me laugh!! Is the dog a king? Why they think that "he is a king"? It is so amusing story. I want to visit Egypt and want to see sphinx. I recommend you to read this book!
