Summertime

Speaking of summertime, it is ice cream or firework display, sea, strong sunset and summer vacation and so on. I like ice cream and I want to eat it every day. The summer time in Kumamoto city is very hot than my hometown. So, the summer heat has got me down in last summer. I will be careful this summer!! Moreover I like firework. There is firework display in Kumamoto every year. It is so beautiful but there are a lot of people.

I like food

When I have a free time, I think about food mainly.
For example, today's dinner or the food of I want to eat now...
It is very interesting and become happy because I like eating.
Maybe today's dinner will be miso soup and pasta.
Recently I didn't cook, so I will cook regularly for become nice woman!!

Enjoy holiday

On June, 26, my parents came to my apartment at afternoon.
Then my father and mother, sister and me went to restaurant for eat dinner.
That restaurant is smorgasbord. We like this restaurant very much.
We ate many kinds of food. Usually, I eat a meal alone.
So I was enjoying a dinner, and dish was very delicious!!

1.5. Best essay: Which of those [four] essays do you believe is [the best] & why?
I believe fourth essay is the best because I checked the spell or grammer.

June or July feature

I think that rainy season is so depressed me. Because almost all day is raining or cloudy, the laundry doesn’t dry. I like sunny. However, rainy season be able to shortage of the water. So, we don’t need anxious it.

My friend's telephone

On June, 17, my friend telephoned me at night, suddenly.

I have not contact with her for a while. She is a University student, too, in Saga.

So, we were enjoying talking and decided the plan in this summer vacation.

It is that we'll go to Tokyo and enjoy at Disney land.

Because I have a friend in Tokyo, the place of stay is no problem.

However, I don't have money. I'm going to take a part time job.

I wish that day would hurry up and come.

Wonderful of Kumamoto

What is famous thing in Kumamoto? Thinking about this, there are many famous spot, food and nice points.

First, it is about famous food. A local specialty is Ikinari dango or horse's meat (called Basashi).

Ikinari dango is a Japanese cake and popular food among people. When I return to my family home, I buy it as a souvenir of a local area. Eating it for the first time, I thought, "It is very delicious". The combination of bean jam and a sweet potato is good!!

Also, horse's meat is delicious, too. At first, I hesitated to eat it but my father recommended it to me. I was so surprised after eat it because it was tender and taste was so great. Then I want to eat more. However we can't eat it easily. So horse's meat is luxury foods. People who come to Kumamoto eat it.

Second, there is Kumamoto castle in Kumamoto city. It was 400 years since Kiyomasa Kato built it. So, the various events is conducting now. But I don't take part in this event yet. In addition to, I have been Kumamoto castle for once.

Third, water use groundwater. Therefor, I think it is delicious and we can drink safely than other prefecture. So I think we have to maintain the precious water.

Fourth, there is the biggest caldera Mt. Aso. Moreover, in Aso city, a hot spring is famous place. The name is Kurokawa hot spring (onsen). I have never been to there. Maybe that is expensive and far from Kumamoto city. If I be able to go to Kurokawa hot spring, I want to enjoy taking a bath or relax with my family.

If I search about Kumamoto in detail, I think good point appear more. Kumamoto is comfortable for me to live.

The best season

My favorite season is winter because high temperature is bad for me and Kotatsu is very good. The winter is very cold and I can’t wake up easily, but snow is very beautiful. And hot food is delicious in winter. Especially, I like food an earthen pot very much.

Be careful!!

I ate ramen at breakfast in this morning.
There was no food in a refrigerator but I wanted to eat something!!
Then I found the last ramen. I was cook.
Eat ramen; and two hours later, I came to have a pain in a stomach.
So I couldn't eat a lunch. I will never do such a thing.

The thing which I want.

I want to personal computer right away because I use it for assignment in Writing class.
When my father asked me the puestion, " Is not a PC necessary?" I answered " No"
But now, I very need a PC.
This month, 23 and 24, my parents are going to come to Kumamoto city as pleasure.
At that time, I'll ask my parents to please buy a PC.

Songs

I like any kind of music. For example, Japanese songs or English songs and so on. But I don’t like song that I can’t understand what singer say. I often listen to Japanese songs. When I have a free time, I listen to music. The music make me relax and happy.

Book review1-07: ISLAND FOR SALE

This story is about one of the Scotland Islands. The name of the island is Lana.
Lana is no houses or roads or curs but there is a very old castle.
A young Scotsman lived in the castle. However He didn't have a lot of money.
He thought "I'll sell my island and my castle".
One day, someone who buy that castle appeared.
But a young Scotsman want not their buy it. So he can't get a money.
When he walking, he saw a girl who painting. They told for along time.
Then she came up with the idea about how he can have money in his hand.
It was lodged coming people to draw a picture on his island. This idea succeeded.
Finally they get married and live in castle happily.

There is castle on right side picture. I though " Is it a true story!?"
But it was good because it was over in happy ending

Sweet temptation

Recently, I eat ice cream almost every day.
Speaking of the things which they want to eat in summer...so! Ice cream!!
It make me happy and cool down on my body temperature.
I think great that I eat ice cream after the take a bath. Of course, other situation is good, too.
Maybe the number of times eating it increase from now.
I want to eat any kinds of ice cream in this summer.

My favorite things

I introduce about my favorite things. For example, my favorite comedian or TV programs and actor and some strange favorite thing.

First, I like a comedy and music program very much. I have been like 99( ninety nine is a famous comedian in Japanese) since I was a child. They perform a lot of TV program. For example, "mechaike", "gurunai", "99 size" and so on. I like it!! And sometimes I listen to their radio at midnight. But I sleep before the radio is over. They are very funny. I want to meet them very much.

Second, my favorite actor is Hiroshi Tamaki. Recently, he spoke about woman's type which he likes at a certain TV program. He said "someone who eat a lot of food". Then I thought " Yes!! I am". I became happy but at the same time, I thought I am foolish.
I first saw him in the movie of "Water Boys". I didn't think that he is cool in this time. But he became popular actor. He appeared on drama or commercial. A commercial of Mister Doughnut is great!! It's very cool.Don't you think so??

Finally, I like good smell, not bad smell. It is this the some strange favorite thing. There are a lot of good smell. It is perfume or sweet, fruit and so on. I began to conscious strongly about I like good smell since I entered a University. Last year, my friend gave me a very beautiful aroma candle as Christmas present. Because of I like good smell I was so happy and appreciated her. It is displaying in my room. It's pretty.

Book review1-08: THE WRONG TROUSERS

This book was little difficult to understand the content.
I have ever seen a man and dog on a front cover.
The man's name is Wallace, the dog's name is Gromit. Gromit is pretty. I like him.

One day, Wallace thought "I'll rent this room for visitors!!"
After a short time, the renter was appeared. It was the Penguin.
But the Penguin was going to stole the diamond in town museum.
Also the Penguin was wanted by the police and offered a prize.
In the end, Wallace and Gromit caught his and gave a prize money.

Aim at nice body

I makes a rule of doing muscle exercise as daily work.
That exercise memu is
　＊　push- ups
　＊　abdominal muscle
　＊　haikin( in Japanese)
each thirty times, two- sets.
Since I enter the University, I lacked of exercise. I don't belong to sports club
and not walking so much. So, I've put on a surplus layer of fat on my body.
Therefore I decided exercising. It is five days after starting exercise today.
But I don't have any confidence about I will continueit it.
However I have to stick it out because..........
Summer is coming!!!

Prtty goods

Today, I got this prettygoods. The left side in this picture is a cup(but prastic), and right side is aroma candle. I like both of them!! There are a lot of goods in that store which I bought it. I'll buy something next time.

Nice day

On June 9, I and my friends( M. Ueda and M. Hiramine) went to shopping.

We went to a lot of store only yesterday.

I found what I want to buy( clothes, shose, bag, accessories...) but I couldn't buy it because I didn't have money.
But next time, I'll buy it!!

And we went to "Daimonji" at night, and then we ate "Okonomiyaki".
It was very delicious and I had plenty!!

Animal

My favorite animal is dog. I have a pet now.
I had had pet before.For example, cat or birds, chicken and so on.
But dog is the best animal for me because dog is very friendly.

Book review1-06: Deep Trouble

This book was similar to short drama.
It seems not so much a book as a textbook. It was easy for me to read.
Deep trouble means ' very big problems' . The college students( Amy and Brad) were
caught under a serious affair.
They were scaring because drug trafficker has gun!!
The drug trafficker is a dangerous person who buys and sells drugs!!
However, a member of the drug trafficker is most important person and holds the key
to the problem.
Unexpected development is waiting.

Book review1-05: Picture Puzzle

There was a man. The man thought " I want something exciting to happen" because
of another boring day at college.
One day, he walked into a large shopping mall.
Just then, one woman running the shopping mall as desperate face.
Suddenly, she pushed something into his hand.
At this point his detective started.
Finally, he faced a crisis but he solved on the case.
And he became friend with the woman in question.
