Start the real summer

The rainy season was over today.
It become hot weather and real summer at last!!
But I don't like summer because the summer is very humid and appeared many mosquitoes or insect. Also I can't sleep well because of a sultry night.
However summer is the suitable for diet.
I'll lost weight 5kg.

Book review 1-12: ANNE of GREEN GABLES

ANNE had no parents. When she was a child, her parents died.
So she was a child in children's home.
One day, she will go to farm of Matthew Cuthbert in Canada.
She was a powerful girl and crying or talking frequently.
But she studied harder. As a result, she got excellent results of an examination.
Also she could go to special school for another area. In the school, she studied harder and harder.
When she went back farm, Mr. Matthew had some heart trouble.
Then he died. She decided leave the school and become a teacher in this place.
At last, she could a teacher.
I didn't think that last is over in this way.

CD review

The CD which I recommend is DREAMS COME TRUE.
There are two people in this group. It is a woman and a man, and they sing a song very well.
The woman sings a song mainly and the man plays the guitar. They have a lot of hit songs, for example, "LOVE LOVE LOVE" or "Sankyu", "Mirai yosouzuⅡ" and so on.
I like their song very much because her voice is clear. Also, I am encouraged and relaxed by their song.
Especially, I like "Mirai yosouzuⅡ" and "Osaka Lovers". The first song is slowly music and the second song is up-tempo music.
I don't remember when it (Mirai yosouzu) was released or when I first listen to this song. However I couldn't forget that song. My sister likes it, too. The word of a song is very nice!!
"Osaka Lovers" was released recently. It has Osaka dialect in words of the song. But I can understand the meaning. When I sang this song to a karaoke, it was very difficult for me to sing. I think that I never sing the song.
There are many good songs to DREAMS COME TRUE. I recommend everyone.
Probably I think that everybody likes it.

Book review 1-10: Anna and the Fighter

This book was very strange.
At first, I thought this story was a kidnapping but it began to unexpected development.
Anna is the central figure. She was going to visit her aunt in Naria alone.
It was a long way. She went to there by train.
She got in train and fell asleep. When she woke up, train passed the Naria.
Then the man spoke to her suddenly. She wanted to run away from him but she couldn't.
Everybody might be think this man is criminal. However he was actually a boxer!!
In the end of the story, after the watch a him fighting, Anna got into a taxi with him.
When they reached her aunt's house, her aunt and Anna and he had some tea and talked.
It's very strange!! Don't you think so??

Book review 1-09: Leonardo DiCaprio



Leonardo DiCaprio is a famous actor and very handsome.
He appears a lot of movies.
I first saw him, it was movie of "William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet".
I thought that he is a nice guy!!
But he appeared a lot of commercial or movie from childhood and he had dreams of being a actor.

"Titanic" was very interesting movie and had a big hit.
He is a very famous and popular actor.

She was a funny that how to speak of English or talk, class. Then I came to like English. So, I appreciate her. She went to another high school when I graduated high school, but I like her.

Restaurant review

My favorite restaurant is PRONTO.
There is shimo-street near Daiei in Kumamoto. I have gone to there two times.
It has cafe time and bar time and there are lots of customers.
Also, there are any kinds of good menu there.
For example, it is pasta or cake, pizza and so on.
I think the price is little expensive but taste is good.
Moreover, an atmosphere in the restaurant was well, too.
When I first went to PRONTO with my friend, I ordered a past of "mentaiko".
Because I like "mentaiko" very much, it was so delicious.
However, to be frank with you, I became tired of taste as I ate.
But the taste is that I want to eat it again.
When I second went to there, I ordered Tomato spaghetti.
It was so delicious, too!!
I want to eat another kind of dishes when I go to there next time.
I came to like pasta very much by having gone to that restaurant.
My dinner is almost pasta and cooking pasta is very easy.
I recommend PRONTO for everybody.
I found its site.
